Thank you! Seriously on the whole park thing, I know that there's something a bit pretentious looking about that guy who sits in a park with his headphones on bleeping and blooping, but at the same time there does seem to be something very enjoyable about it. I mean, besides a portable power source, I honestly have enough leftover modules sitting around to make up a pretty capable and small rig. Maybe when the weather is nicer (and dryer...) we should just go somewhere and do it. Duncan Park (formally Douglas) even has a stage and is not too far away!
If you are talking about that pavilion by the pond that has that crazy reverb and echo effect, I am way ahead of you. My daughter and I go there all the time just to make a racket and hear the echoes. But then again, just about all the picnic areas have outlets too! Or we just got to work on getting portable power. Either way! Let's do it.
Thanks! It’s actually about doubled in size since this video! Maybe I need to do a follow up. The two modules that you mention are two that I’ve been interested in as well.
instead of your "boring" low pass filter you should look at the WMD C4RBN. I got one about a week ago and am blown away by all the sounds I can get out of it. The built in wavefolder is amazing.
That C4RBN filter was actually on my short list, but the low price and the promise of that Moog style creamy sound of the electro-smith really got me. No regrets, but I really would love to try some more filters. As I say in the video though, I don't mean boring as an insult, more as in it's just a really good sounding but utilitarian low pass filter. I definitely still want to try the C4RBN though!
You say you are done buying filters, I say that I am just getting started! Along with the C4RBN, I am definitely interested in that ALM MUM M8 filter I mentioned in the video. There's something about that raspy, almost buzz saw kind of sound that I think is really neat.
I would really appreciate a tutorial on the Field Kit FX. I have one myself, but haven't really understood some things yet. Maybe it helps to watch a video in addition to the manual.
Hello there! Yep, it's probably something that I'll do. I did mention and link a video I made which is not really a tutorial, but it does include quite a few notes about what's going on. It might help a few little things. Much like a lot of these things, it does a whole lot but actually seems more complicated than it actually is. As I often say, try not to overthink it! Is there anything in particular about it that I could maybe try and help you with now?
@@thedigitallost I've actually already seen your video on the Field Kit FX and that was definitely helpful already! What I mostly wonder is how the knobs (or rather the particular effect to which the knob is assigned) are affected by the CV. For example, if I set the knob of the Frequency Shifter to twelve o'clock and then switch the CV from the sequencer to it, how exactly does that affect the value of the Frequency Shifter? I hope I have expressed myself reasonably understandably. Maybe you have an answer to this. But I will definitely study the manual again.
Yeah I think I know what you're asking. In my experience, once you route a different CV signal into any parameter (not just on the field kit FX but on any module), the control knob for the original, pre-cv routed parameter almost becomes like a range control. As in, if you have a sequencer or an LFO plugged into that CV input, be original knob would control the range of frequencies that might be affected or available to effect. If that makes any sense! If you were to route the sequencer from the field kit FX into the frequency shifter control, it would simply move the frequency to match the value of each step of the four step sequencer. Honestly, I would try routing in something like a triangle/sine wave LFO and while it is running, start moving the frequency shifter knob counter clockwise and clockwise. And see the different sounds you get as you change the range of frequencies on offer with the main frequency shifter control knob. I really hope I'm explaining things well enough! As I say, I'm thinking of doing a full video on this thing. It might make it a little bit easier to understand if I can actually demonstrate it on video rather than just in words, which to be honest can be difficult sometimes! Though certainly enjoy trying. As always, any follow-up questions go right ahead! We will try and figure this out. And also as always, don't be afraid to just try things out! So long as you don't plug inputs into inputs and outputs into outputs you should be fine!
@@thedigitallost thanks for the detailed answer. that's about how i thought it would work, but i'll try around more. I also think that a video will make it easier to understand all these things.
I like your presenting Style and Tempo. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I genuinely appreciate it.
It's great getting an update on your rig and where you plan to take it! I've been thinking about trying the park bleep-bloops, too!
Thank you!

@@thedigitallost Definitely! Washington Park also has this little covered sitting area that has an outlet, too.

Great conversation…it looks like you got 20 hp left. Consider the make noise morphagene or qubit nebulae. Great tools for ambient in my opinion.

good talk :)
Thank you very much!

@@thedigitallost Along with C4RBN I have the Dave Smith Curtis Filter and a the Mannequins Three Sisters. I think I am done buying filters 😂

@@thedigitallost I like the sound of the ALM. You should also give the Happy Nerding MMM VCF. It is a nice stereo filter that isn't too big, 8HP
