Im slowly getting back at it :-)

Right?! I didnt intend for that, it just happened!

Pittsburgh Modules are so incredibly reliable. But I'll tell you, the Double Helix is by far my favorite Complex Oscillator, and I've played with a number of them!

Thank you!

Still waiting on you to get back into it!

@@boedye working on it. (I mean it this time lol)

@Vadlife Thats what you said... LAST time X^D

Thanks!

I think its a Roland TR8S.

One of these days, Ill be hoping to get my Amp and Tone Controller back from getting repaired! I like the Doepfer, but somedays I want a lil more screamy scream.

@@boedye yup thats on my list just need to sell my body to the night a few more times 🍻

In this case I did not, however it is capable of that. In this, I'm using the force for the drum beat (which the preloads are really, really nice...) and sending a gate signal to clock the stillson-hammer. In another few days, I will be using a Tascam Model 12 to out each of my voices into their one tracks, and then recording them onto the Force, and then eventually seeing if I can sample and mangle them as you would using an Octatrack.

That is my faithful Stillson Hammer by IME! I had the Metropolis for a bit (The Atlantis is the SH101 Clone, the Metropolis is the sequencer)! 3 Pittsburgh Modular Primary Oscillators into a G-Storm Tonus VCF (Arp 2600 Filter Clone), Pittsburgh LPG, Then Monsoon!

To walk you through: The Sequencer on the top left is a 4 channel sequencer called the Stillson-Hammer. It's been out of production for a while, but you can find them easily enough. The Stillson is sequencing and clocking everything in the rack (Drums are from a Syntakt, clocking an Erica Synths Midi to CV / Gate Module in a Pod Enclosure and clocking the Stillson). The heavy bass / distortion bit (which gets a bit muddy). Is just the Verbos Foundation Oscillator filtered with a Doepfer 303 type filter, going through the Retro Mechanical Distortion. The sounds that you are hearing, immediately when I hit play, are coming entirely from the Hex Inverter / Erica Synths Mindphaser which is going into an Erica Synths LPG and a XAOC Devices Belgrad (I typically keep it on the Notch / Lowpass setting, but it's not coloring the sound much in this patch). Otherwise that is all Mindphaser. What I think you might be referring to is the "through-zero phase modulation bus", being modulated and with the Verbos Multistage on the bottom left. Oh, and outputting all that through a Verbos Multitap Delay / Reverb. But again... not an overwhelming amount.

Thanks mate! Its gone through some sizeable changes since this, but I think it's finally reached it's final form!

Thanks mate -- I started diddling with it, and it just sounded so cool, so I had to capture and record a snippet. This module seems a bit much, but after a bit of time with it the workflow is really very clear and to the point.

Thank you! I thought it sounded a bit wonky in some places, but always room for improvement! Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks! This rack was having a bit of an existential crisis, and I dont use it as much as my other, so Im trying to get better at it :-)

I actually did another one that's a bit better, but I didn't record video for it X^D I'll do some more for you, brother <3

@@boedye someone's famous words "If you didn't record it, it didn't happen " ;). LOVE the case!

Yup! I like the sliders, the layout and the HP! Slimmer than maths and does the same thing!

@@boedyewould love to see you other rack jams too my man. Just intrigued to see you use temi + rene to rodice some bleep bloops. Love this one. Sounds so fat!

@@VadlifeI haven't played with that rack in a bit! Ill switch it up!

Hey man! Just saw this cause KZfaq sucks for notifying me: Hit me up on Instagram under the same user name (boe_dye)!

Cognitive functions. For men, we generally go from "room to room", and the hallway (so to speak) is just a means to an end. Because we are generally compartmentalized and focused on the directive finding ourselves in that space in between rooms, that aimless lost place is a pretty not so great place to be.

I have grown to love it a lot! Its a curious piece and it does what it does, well! Its a bit odd at times, and Im still a bit fuzzy on the sample and loop functions, mainly cause I dont use them enough....

Thank you for listening!

WOW -- thanks!! I made it using Erica Synths Fusion modules! ***Edit*** ALSO -- Thank you for the tutorial on updating the Stillson Hammer, and how to use it! I though I recognized your channel name, but wasnt certain! Def gave your one vid a number of replays!

I was really fortunate to score that piece -- it came with the Syntakt! It's a very well built stand, entirely out of oak. Lots of good weight, and a delicate viewing angle!

Thank you!

Its not so much a secret anymore! It's loads of fun, along with loads of frustration at times! Nowadays you can get into it with minimal investment. When I got started it was at the height of popularity. Pittsburgh Mod stuff is pretty cheap, as are Erica Synths, and a lot of previous models of things (such as Rene or Metropolis), are quite capable and far less expensive! Synthrotek also makes some pretty cheap power supplies, if you want to go DIY! Also Behringer makes some really cheap clones of just about everyone, but their modules sound pretty great!

Its so underrated! Its quite capable!

Thats actually what I love about it: Its like having a conversation!

It's a trick question: Honest opinions are subjective thoughts ;-)

So far so good. Previously I had the ZDSP, mainly for the Halls of Valhalla DSP card. I can get the equivalent if not superior reverb out of this, the difference is there is way more control than the ZDSP. I like that there is no menu diving, and its pretty well laid out. So far I have not come across anything off putting, and I have yet to actually read the manual, which shows its ease of use. I would not compare it to the Magneto, as they are very different beasts.

RAAAAWWWWRRRR WAARGGLE BWAAR!!! Incredibly insightful comment -- thanks!

@@boedye He’s most likely referring to the 7 minutes and 25 seconds it took before you actually started diving into the module.

@@A_S_M_R Completely aware of the criticism, he just wasn't terribly forthcoming with it 🙂

Hi! Thank you ,and yes I do! For this one, I am using this rack -- www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1170930

..... Thank you... for pointing out that tid bit that I hoped no one would notice X^D. I'm wearing my gym shorts, it just happens that you can't really tell behind the rack in the window! I figure if that dude in the bathrobe can make a thing of it, I wouldn't be begrudged for wearing shorts! Oh and I'm wearing a shirt, too! I'm just somewhat... stocky for my height.

@@boedye Ha...!

Pittsburgh Modular is incredibly underrated -- they make some of the cleanest, and stablest modules out there, and they are pretty well thought out! Good luck in the hunt!

Thank you! Just... kind of naming it what it felt! Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks!

Ive been so busy with this and that, I have barely had time (or inspiration) to synth! Thank you!
