I have Eurorack, Buchla and Ciat Lombarde...it is very addictive and highly recommended. Each one is very different. I find patching therapeutic and more important…fun. It also gets me away from a computer. All the sequencing i do with modules and t…

Its not that expensive if you box clever. For the price of a DE and DT you'll be dropping @$1350 for both new. I bought most of my modules second hand @70 - 80% on muffwigglers forum. The doepfer / mfb modules are a cheap way to start. For $135…

double post!

The Dark Energy is a gateway drug to getting a eurorack modular. Really enjoyable and brought the fun back to making music, instead of looking at a computer screen. The problem is you'll enjoy it so much you'll end up selling it 6 months l…

This is quality - great work watson

Theres more here from this thread : http://post.monome.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=617

some shameless self promotion here http://www.soundcloud.com/mudlogger

lovely stuff here..thanks for sharing. You still have that % sound even though you changed your studio around....a good thing.

I never knew Bin Laden had a monome.

Its brilliant and underrated. For me - its the speed i could knock out tunes. Really quick workflow. Much quicker than any DAW i've used. Making tunes was fun and not a chore. When i went to Cubase then Ableton - everything slowed down …

Rax? but its not free - $79 http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/rax/

Only just discovered this and downloaded the demo yesterday. - really nice design, sound and layout - a bit of a left field soft synth. i found a good interview here : http://trashaudio.com/2011/01/aalto-by-madrona-labs/

I wouldn't go near a V1 lemur and at that price is too expensive - people have been struggling to get rid of V1 for $1000 - $1200. For piece of mind - only buy a V2 hardware. V1 is hit and miss with a bubbling problem. You'll also have…

If your interested in modulars i'd recommend getting a doepfer dark energy synth ...then its a slippery slope before your a eurocrack addict. Don't do it.

"If you're here and on muff, you're a lost cause" thats me!

Yes - I'd recommend this book : Allen Strange : Electronic-Music-Systems-Techniques-and-Controls. Its a modular bible. http://www.ebookee.com/Electronic-Music-Systems-Techniques-and-Controls-Allen-Strange_714973.html

+1 for muffwiggler forum - its the modular version of monome.org - really nice guys who are very helpful. Also the buy/sell on there is very active. For me i prefer the more esoteric makers like Harvestman and Make Noise. The modular planner is r…

Great bloke, great album.

Moved from Hanoi. Now living in NE Thailand close to Laos. I can safely say there is no death metal or dance club music scene. But there are many paddy fields!

"Great synths. But they only work as demos if you are using the reaktor player fyi" Thanks for the update - i think its reaktor player that goes to demo mode not the actual synth - the synths are freeware. Reaktor player won't allo…

Since i got the UAD its the first time i've considered dumping my hardware outboard - the quality is that good. Its not perfect but i'd say 95% there. I think its something to do with upsampling it does on the card. I've been using…

This was a long long time ago! Thanks for everyones suggestions. Anyway i got the RNC and like everyone said really nice - highly recommended. I think they do a stereo version now. Due to lots of traveling with limited bag space - just recently b…

lovely stuff

eq'ing -> cut narrow - boost wide! Seriously - get Har Bal - that will save you lots of time. http://www.har-bal.com/ http://www.har-bal.com/index.php?/product-information.php

This is superb! Exactly what i needed. Thankyou.

The warmest sounding vsti's i've used are the Arturia ARP 2600 / Minimoog and the new u-he ACE synth. The ACE is the best i've heard for a long time - also the price is a steal. Stick them through PSP Vintage Warmer / T-Racks or a UAD…

It depends what type of sound your after. In the past i used the original TRacks which was great for getting that vintage / tube feel. I used that along with the PSP Vintage Warmer + Voxengo Elephant limiter and have never been happier. Ozone …

Been listening lots to - Gonjasufi - A Sufi and A Killer album. Its on Warp. Its got a very loose late 60's / early 70's jazz soul rock thing going - i think Flying Lotus does one of the tracks on it. Really nice anyway.

This is top bananas! Thankyou loopparty.

I'll check this out - sounds really interesting. @GLIA - Isaan folk! i live in Isaan and its superb stuff. Proper old school Thai country music. Also love the twangy Isaan guitar (like a bango on steroids). Last week i saw a 3 piece band (dr…
