Thank you a lot for checking out my video! The PRO3 has probably the tightest build quality I've ever experienced: the knobs are probably even a bit too stiff, everything is ultra solid, including the hinge, no sticky buttons (yet) All in all a great instrument!

@@Dexba Thanx for the quick and clear response ;-)

Tutto il video era nato come test della qualità audio del mk2 vs mk1 con uno degli ingegneri di Random*Source :) L'infamous, specialmente su pedali così caratterizzanti, è una sorta di termine scudo per le lamentele di tanta gente che dice di non sentire lo strumento

Honoured, for real. Especially for "smaller" videos like this one, where it is just about the appreciation of the joy instruments bring us and the joy to share that with my virtual friends around the world! ...and I have to agree about the Mood mk2: almost didn't consider it in its purple over purple (wtf, Chase Bliss?) of the standard version, but this is just delightful!

Thank you so much! The Lyra can be so much that it takes a lot of time to explore even in its most basic form

I can’t wait to check out your 40 min demo!

Thank you so much 🧡

Matriarch is such an inspiring instrument!

Thank you so much, I’m glad you found it inspiring ✨

I do find pings to be refreshing too! And the Serge filter is just so good at them. Thank you for checking my recording out 🧡

Thank you a lot!

Quando ci vuole il Mood, ci vuole proprio il Mood

Thank you so much! And... it's hard to go back from Serge and 4U 😥 It will be a painful and expensive journey from now on ahah

The power supply is not provided, so you will get the one you prefer, but they are all usually 100/110/220/230!

@@Dexba Ok, thank you so much.

We need more Serge around!

It really is. Love this new Serge adventure

The perfect representation 😄

Thank you so much 🧡

I admit I have no idea, I hope someone else can help you after reading this comment! The only advice could just to not focus too much on the final result you want to achieve, but to start putting together pieces that sound good to you, both alone and then in a broader context. The genre will follow!

Thank you so much! It is still the instrument I come back to when I feel a bit disillusioned by making music and music gear in general

Absolutely no post production, and that was actually my main goal: it would have been so much simpler to take out the stems and put together this, without the fiddling with resampling, overdubs, EQing everything and the final gainstaging to mess with the sound (in a positive way)! And yeah, finally some audio quality from the OP1! FINALLY

I couldn't agree more. I still feel dumb because I sold it, but I wouldn't even have the space now to use it, so I am happy someone else is getting to play with it. A great instrument, with the amazing signature Moog sound.

Thank you so much 🧡

Thank you a lot 🧡 About the Valhalla, I honestly don't remember much, and even then I mostly went by taste (that's also the convenience of adding FX in post, so you can take your time and not bake it in the recording!)

I am so glad it has been inspiring to you 🧡 This is why I love putting my stuff on KZfaq!

Ahah sometimes I forget I tried to put a very clickbaity title on this video. But it was true, since every time I think about how much I spent on other music instruments (modular or not), nothing comes close in value for your money to the PRO3 Plus, it's a testament to the great patching capabilities. Love it, I should use it more.

I bought one after watching this video and others. I prefer the sound of my Moog Subsequent 37, but the Pro 3 sounds good and is incredibly flexible. Well done!.

@@theleastsignificantbit4794 I agree: the Sub37 still wins the "init patch war", and that must be the reason why so many people ended up asking if the PRO3 is digital (a catch-all term for "cold-sounding" I suppose). I wish I could keep them all, these are definitely all amazing instruments, and it's a pity I even had to choose

I wish you a long and healthy life, but that's an amazing thing to say 🧡

Completely agree! That's where the title comes from, and also one of the reasons why I sold it, since being my only reverb pedal, the BigSky flavor was way too overpowering

Two heavy weights in their categories dancing together

There is a GenLoss mk2 hidden behind the scenes! Great ear. And thank you so much 🧡

That's definitely true, and it also makes sense since ambient is about "something that surrounds" and reverbs are simulations of spaces surrounding us. With this instrument, the FX is considered part of the signal path, and while it is definitely needed to give some girth to the mediocre oscillators, I think it fits the project, since the cards the Solar42 uses are also coming from another project by ELTA!

It sure is its biggest strength! Not even a drone: a complete swarm of drones 😍

Thank you so much, I am glad you got to participate to my little musical adventure by the lake. The powerbank is an Omars 88Wh. Availability depends a lot on the country, but I liked this because it was still portable enough I could even bring it on a flight, while the next tier from Omars cannot. To find what could be best for you, I would recommend you to just search for "powerbank 220V" (or 110/100V, depending on where you live), or if your case is not as silly as mine (requiring an unusual 13V to operate) you can go the USB-C with PowerDelivery route, which would be way more convenient :)

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful :)

Thank you so much, it has been such an accomplishment for me to put together such a complete track, instead of a "jam". The case is the beautiful EBE-1 by NoNo Modular :)

thank you so much, I am glad you liked both 🧡

Ahaha I understand completely because I thought the same even while filming this! I wonder what other people walking around the lake thought I was doing, with that strange machinery and my obscure-IPA-taster/reviewer hat I had on 😄 But I am glad the result was worthwhile, otherwise it would have been a disaster and I should have stuck to succulents on the desk 🧡 Glad you liked it 🙏🏻

​@@DexbaIt wouldn't have been a disaster if the result wasn't worthwhile, but a learning experience for the next jam P.S. Pale Ales are the best

I'm flattered, thank you so so much 🧡

Interesting options! (be ready, my comment will be long, sorry in advance) I understand why you could be deciding between these two sides, especially from a video like mine, but there is something very important to consider: they are completely the opposite, and they cannot get into any sonic territory of the other instrument. • Buchla's approach will be about very simple building blocks that can be used to create something incredible, or not. There will be times when with a modular you get completely nowhere, and you will have wasted a lot of time on nothing (which can be educational too, but...). There are no FX, and even the smallest system will be quite bulky (the modules are very wide for today's standards, and not too thin, so you won't be able to use tiny skiffs. The sound quality is great, but even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be about that, since it is about the joy of the patching, the exploration, the achievement of a coherent work put together before your eyes. As with any modular system, but especially since it is made of small building blocks, you will want to expand a lot. Not only with other manufacturers, but also within the Buchla system, buying multiple copies of the same module, since everything will come in handy one day: I'd love to have a second sequencer for more interesting rhythms or another LPG for double stereo sum! • Solar42 approach will be about a wall of sound. It has effects, it has a touch interface for quicker access to the notes (compared to programming stuff in the tiny, unquantized, sequencer on the Buchla). It will definitely be better if you want to carry it around, but it will also require quite a bit of planning, since you will still be required to tune the instrument and you will have almost zero patching/programming, compared to the Buchla. I always found myself looking for more modulation, and I understand it wouldn't have been possible without completely redesigning the synth, with added costs and bulk. But I'd love to try it again! With the Solar50 I got fed up quickly exactly for this reason: it had the drawbacks of modular AND the drawbacks of a regular synth; now it seems they addressed part of my complaints with the Solar42, but the price also went up substantially. I think it depends a lot on what you value in your approach to the machine and the music: do you find relaxing and thrilling the challenge of patching from scratch every time? Or do you prefer having everything tidy and organized inside a big machine, but without the capability to go further in the process of sculpting the sound? These are both perfectly fine approaches, and we are so lucky to have so many good instruments available we cannot even choose ☺

Thank you so much for the great reply of your opinion!! I’m so happy that you explain so well and things started pretty clear and easier to make mind sometime soon in the future. If you don’t mind I ask one more question, how do you feel about quality of solar 50 compared to your other machines (include modules), sound, fx, machine noise… thank you again for great videos, I’m so happy I found your channel😊

There is a way to move away from the equal temperament in the Cave mode, but apart from that no, the keyboard is your only friend!

@@Dexba Thanks for replying. so a midi input can change the scale? im not sure i understand correctly

@didopoken with a midi input you wouldn’t need to operate anything on the Wingie, because you would be controlling the scale (and the notes in general, since scales are just little boxes for always the same notes) with the midi controller of your choice!
