Is there a unique phrase your family uses for your modular?

[debolish]

The entire synth is referred to as a blooper, while the individual modules are known as bloops.

My wife used to call it the Christmas Tree, but lately it's been called
"The Pain Machine". Once when I was tuning up a DIY MFOS VCO, she referred to it as "The worst few days of my life"!

[Pelsea]

My wife calls it one of our synthesizers.
We had synth music at our wedding. I did the prelude, she did the processional, and we collaborated on the recessional.
She has a bigger studio than I do.

Although my studio is called the nursery, because that’s what the previous owners used it for.

My 7 yr old niece: "There's too many wires in this room, I can't be in here"
My gf: "Oh my god make a different sound or shut the door"

My 7 yr old niece: "There's too many wires in this room, I can't be in here"

This is priceless!

I have a travel case that I use around the house and my wife calls it a "computer." As in, "can you please move your computer."

[Multi Grooves]

My girlfriend uses the verb 'muff wiggling'. She often encourages me to switch on the boxes when it has been a while since i last played. She is awesome.

after an afternoon playing in the summer, windows wide open...

a roomate complains: ....I heard someone playing his nintendo all day!

[boliver]

My partner calls it "The Modulation Station"

Has a nice ring to it (pun intended)

[cscairney]

my wife called it "your Synergy" for years even though it was an ever changing pile of stuff and the synergy left long ago. Now she calls it "your keyboards" though I would appreciate it if she said, "you're playing your Gotharman's Fuzion again?" or "did you spend all day practicing poly stabs on your Sh-01a?"

[eafab]

my father in law calls it 'the telephone exchange',
my daughter calls it 'can I touch this button?',
my wife has just a big smile on her face and uses no word!

[Wjbratcher]

My wife entered my music room to gently redirect me after I’d been jamming too loud for too long. I turned around just in time to see her sour expression after I patched a cable into an unattenuated fm input.

“Wrong hole,” she said.

My family doesn’t have a specific name for my modular or other music gear, but my 4 year old daughter will ask to play with the Wogglebug from Make Noise. She finds the sounds it outputs absolutely hilarious!

[raylinds]

My wife calls it The Money Pit.

[rlevine]

I have a spare bedroom that we have long called "The Band Room" since for years I was playing in traditional bands (guitar/bass/drums/vox). That room has been unused for a while, but I've re-organized it since getting into modular. Now I have a desk / workstation and we call the room "The Office".

But we still can't settle on a term we like for what I'm doing in there.

My oldest daughter refers to the entire thing as the µJack (which is the output module). She does it to F with me. Every time a package comes in the mail, she asks if I got a new µJack, or if I spend time on it, she'll ask how the µJack is sounding today, etc. It's a pure wind-up, and makes me laugh every time. I've willed it to her.
