The Absolute Minimum Viable Creative Setup Thread

I have started with just plain PC and Jeskola Buzz tracker software. Great fun!

Cut my teeth with Buzz back then… have fun!

The Zephod Void instruments were always great. And the Peer… controllers added so much for more advanced / generative stuff.

I miss Buzz ! My first album was done entrely with it. I also miss Audiomulcj

Recorded seventeen pieces with this setup over the last ten days. Listening back, I deem four of them viable for future release. Lovely setup. Will do this more often.

Would like to hear some examples if you are happy to share

Voltmeister · 2022-07-27T21:47:59.846Z

Thanks for the request. Sorry, I plan to keep them in the vault to feature on a future release.

After all, you are the Vaultmaster.

It was back in early 2000s when I was using solely Buzz…great piece of software, but bit unstable at times! I loved it’s modular approach to constructing your own virtual studio…I wish there was mac version

I got some rechargeable batteries so it’s a bit more minimal without the power packs.

I’ve been spending a week here and brought my most minimal setup. It works okay!

When I read the title of this thread I wanted to share this picture of my Fyral.

What you see on the PP website is the newest version. Mine is the one before. I prefer the version with colors, it gives a little psychedelic effect ^^

Yeah it looks beautiful! Almost bought myself a Ciat Lonbarde when I visited Lisbon this summer. But (luckily for my wallet) it was not in stock in Patch Point Portugal. Got myself a very nice Bugbrand delay though

tekknovator · 2022-10-20T20:56:23.878Z

Looks like a lot of fun

20 minute solo set on a minilogue xd at a nice park at sunset. There’s a fair amount of wind / environmental noise but it gets better after the first minute or so. This was a good day

I was there to jam with some friends but no one was ready to play except for me so I just started noodling with no plan. There were like 3 people watching but one of them had a camera and recorded the whole thing. Easily the most laid-back set I’ve ever performed but listening back I’m really happy with it! Encourages me to trust my musical / improvisational instincts more often.

Cementimental · 2023-12-09T11:26:38.971Z

was talking to someone about this setup idea and uploaded a very old live recording which is the closest I’ve got. Plastic toy whistle/harmonica, £1 kareoke mic into MXR Blue Box into 3x Black Licorices, and Pocket Miku for the intro. Hmm in the photo there’s also the weird Danelectro pedal that’s a mini amp ? And some built in reverb on the borrowed mixer maybe? I can’t remember. You had to be there.
