You are a modulation wizard, I wanted a VCS3 for these kinds of complex multimodulation effects, but I can see and hear the 2600 is better equipped and more understandable in getting these.
VCS3 on it's own is not actually that good for random evolving patches. There is no sample and hold on the VCS3. You can filter noise and get some random CVs but it's not the same as a clockable sample and hold. With the VCS3 you really need to use the joystick to apply the modulation. VCS3 is still very powerful for distortion and feedback sounds. Nothing rivals the 2600 for the price though.
Hey no problem. I remember you from Modwiggler. Nice to see you kept the 2600 and are still using it. I subbed to your channel and look forward to hearing your patches!
Great video! I really enjoyed learning about the extra LFO trick for the synth 🙏. I've always wanted to have a third 2600 to use exclusively as a modulation machine and switch everything to low frequency mode 😅. It's great to see the possibilities for even more modulation with this extra LFO trick. Also, I couldn't help but notice that cute little screen displaying the oscilloscope. It looks incredibly practical, and I'm wondering how you set it up. It seems like a great tool, and if it works well, it could save me the trouble of buying a Korg NTS-2 oscilloscope. Thanks again for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us. Keep up the great work! 👏
It's not the easiest thing to setup. I'm running Voltage Modular on a second sound-card and using a DC coupled interface to send CV to and from the computer. The CV watcher module is $3 and the Spectrum Analyzer is part of the Core Bundle. There are free oscilloscope programs but I used Voltage Modular but I'm using it for patches and for sending CV out anyways so I just use that. If you have a second computer it might be easier to get it going on that than setting up 2 sound-cards.
If you get an audio interface with like 8 DC coupled outs it might be a better option for modulation than a third 2600. This should work with VCV Rack/Cardinal as well but I haven't tried it. There are a lot of cool virtual modules and you can do things like send 30 LFOs to 1 output. A lot of times I'm using it for triggering drum modules randomly or for a couple synced random CV sources.
The motor of a flying saucer ...

These examples you are doing are really useful. Many thanks for doing these videos.
Thanks for sharing all this knowledge. Really helpful, once again kept me from adding another synth!

Love the bleeps & blips
Same.

@@Bata9999 thanks a lot!!
Crazy stuff! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for these videos. I have a 2600 on the way and cannot wait. Where do you get your stackables?
Got the stackables from Moog Audio but that's because I'm Canadian. They should be available from most places that sell modular synths.
Epic!
Thanks for this! So much to explore ...
cool thanks
this might help me get the synth sound for everybody by madonna thanks thats cool I need to get some stackable patch cables
