    Great to see you finding what's working and inspiring for you in the Eurorack format. I know it's been a while of playing with ideas and it's really nice to see the first system that's connected with you. Excited to see how it develops and what you get out of it.

    oh my god, you fixed modular for me!
    As someone who's been getting more and more into trackers, seeing a modular setup like this, where the sequencing is based on a tracker grid and the sounds are designed on separate modules, solves literally all the parts I don't quite get how to do on a tracker yet (having come from ableton) such as automation and effects!
    You've even got a percussion synth (my favorite virtual instrument is the Chromaphone 2, so i'm even more hooked on your setup)
    Looking forward to the next episodes!!

    As a fellow fm lover this setup is awesome! Never seen the nerdseq before but it looks really interesting, perfect for nerds like me. The fact it can be expanded is great too. An in depth sequencer is something I have been hesitant to commit to, I've been patiently studying all the options to see which is the best one for me to dedicate the time to learning it.
    One thing I love about the Chord is it can be used as 4 independant voices, being able to customise the waves makes it so versatile.

    I was always surprised that you weren't getting into modular, but it makes sense about the precise sequencing. It really is so much about workflow. The reason I loved modular was for it's chaotic nature!

  • @ToyKeeper
    @ToyKeeper 2 года назад +1

    Modular seems to work great as a happy accident machine. It's good at making new sounds, and pretty decent as inspiration for starting songs. It doesn't usually seem to work as well for the rest of the process though, the composition and production. Perhaps because, as noted in the video, there aren't many modules designed to handle high-level tasks like composition... it's mostly low-level detail-oriented stuff. And, although accidents make happy starting points, it's hard to finish a song by accident.

      Depending on the situation and context Ang Mo can also be a bit of a rude name for "western people", but well I always try to see the good in people. 😄

    I'm surprised to see a whole eurorack system without a single filter. Was that deliberate or did you just choose what you liked and not end up with one?

    • @truecuckoo
      @truecuckoo  2 года назад +4

      Haha, that's a fun observation. I actually don't like filters in general, come to think of it. When designing sounds I make as little use of filters as possible. Just nudging them a little bit. With FM synthesis and Wavetable synthesis, filters aren't really needed to the same extent as with other synthesis. My favourite filter is the Makenoise QPAS, but I couldn't fit it in. It was either the QPAS or the Dark Matter, and I felt like Dark Matter could be more fun.
