2 more modules....

Post by zerosum »

Image
Top row: UEG, 2 space gap, mults, MOTM 380, MOTM 800(x2), MOTM 101.
Bottom Row: Modcan 62B, 61B, 2 space gap, 57B, 07B.


So, for a while my synth has been staring at me like a smile with two knocked out front teeth :hihi:

I want to complete it and finish it.
I am not done with Modcan B, I will start another B system later, as well as start an A system(Well I have already started that).

But for this one, I want to complete a full voice, I need a final output module.
I'm not interested in getting rid of anything to make room for new cool stuff,
I just want to round this one off 8_)

I usually generate sounds in this system then patch it into filters and VCA's and various backends of other systems.

So here is what I am thinking:
Top row: a second UEG
Bottom row: Modcan 06B Phase Shifter/Timbre mod
OR
Modcan Matrix Filter
OR
Modcan dual VCA panner

Dual VDO outs into Timbre mod A and/or B section of the 06 sounds like a good recipe for my disastrous adventures, I'm leaning that way.

Matrix Filter.... Well the Dual VDO sounds beautiful through other filters in other systems, so I might as well get a modcan filter to keep it company, Right?
The Matrix Filter looks like a good choice with all the multiple outputs, Surely one of the 8 will get me where I want to go...
Then of course I could patch all 8 out somewhere into another system and do some filter morphing! :goo:

The dual VCA panner, well I need some VCA's and I should free up that ringmod I keep using as a VCA. Voltage Controlled panning is what I really need, This looks like the Module to have for this system.
I can't go wrong with that one, If I can't make up my mind between the Phase/Timbre or Matrix Filter, Then it will probably be the 21B.

I really can't imagine this synth without a second UEG,
Every time I tie it up for sequencing I want it for modulations,
Every time I tie it up for modulations, I want more wiggley sequences....
I have to have another one.

So, yeah. What do you think?

I'd strongly suggest instead of a second UEG, getting the new soon to be released Modcan 72B Touch Sequencer! :hyper: :bacon:

And my first thought for the other space would be a 59B digital delay. :love:

But, instead of the 59B you might look at what is available in 1U width Modcan and MOTM modules. Putting two 1U's instead of one 2U might give you more versatility?

i have the vca/panner on order and am excited about it. you may be set for modulators but if not i would seriously consider 66 control. digi delay is tits as is super delay. totally different characters and more than worth having both. touch sequencer on order too and i am convinced it will be some of the raddest shit ever. as for filters, i didn't dig the matrix so much. too many options for me. if you are looking for multimode, the dual is sick and the single multimode looks sexy as fuck though i have never used one. i have an arp filter on order too and it is said to be one for the best by many many folks including bruce himself. it is hard to say what could perfectly fill those two spaces. you have a pretty wide setup at your disposal besides the modcan-size stuff so i wonder what would be best to round it out at the moment. i definitely would go for a second ueg. for the space, complex functons would be better and likely easier and more precise (even though precision may not be the goal) with the touch sequencer.

so you need another rack. control, touch sequencer, vca/panner, digi delay and a filter. probably a 4vca too.

oh and the dual freq shift is amazing. much more fun than the phase/timbre imo. with all the metasonix, i doubt you would need too much of the timbre mods. i know it isn't exactly the same but for filing up precious little space...

but definitely add a dual freq shift!

Perhaps an MOTM-format filter on top and the Modcan Panner? I hate not having VC panning at the moment.

my sentiments exactly!!
you know how i feel about my UEG, so my vote is for acquiring another in your system.

as for the Modcan, that dual VCA panner is damn sexy and one can never enough vca's. a most useful module even if it's not the most *exciting* of the choices.

i'm excited for you to finish up the cab!! :nana:

Thanks guys 8_)

It's a lot easier to keep adding to a synth, but it's hard to top one off.
I could move some modules around, but I like the sentimental journey of the modular, so I like to leave things as they are.

The cool thing is that no matter what I get, I win :party:
And my first thought for the other space would be a 59B digital delay.
I certainly want one, and it is planned for the next case :party:
But, instead of the 59B you might look at what is available in 1U width Modcan and MOTM modules. Putting two 1U's instead of one 2U might give you more versatility?
I thought about that, it's a good idea. but I would need another power supply.
i would seriously consider 66 control.
Oh hell yeah man! That is actually in my A system plans,
Whatever B module I decide on I will also include a 66A in the order. :mrgreen:

oh and the dual freq shift is amazing.
I have spent a little time with that module and it was pure sex :love:
I was hearing it paired with the Flanger and Super Delay, and would love to have all 3 of those together again so I can further explore that patch.

My next case is going to be for effects, so I might as well dedicate the next case to filters and VC effects like the frequency shifter, delay, flanger, phasers, etc...
Perhaps an MOTM-format filter on top and the Modcan Panner?
I do HAVE to get a MOTM 440 at some point, that is in the plans for the next case.

The Modcan 21B does seem like the most logical piece for this case.

I also considered getting a VCDO to go in this case and then just call this an oscillation/modulation machine,
That module is still in my plans and a lot of the my reason for wanting modcan, so it has to happen at some point.
The reason I talk myself out of it(frequently) is because I am so lost inside the millions of options I have with the Dual VDO that I know I will use it less if I have another oscillator distraction, so I have to chew on that one for a while and wait until the time is right.(maybe soon :lol: )

you know how i feel about my UEG, so my vote is for acquiring another in your system.
Yup. It's a definite. Must have two.
I will get another one for the dotcom cab when that expands(but that is a little ways off into the future)

i'm excited for you to finish up the cab!!
Shit me too :eek: I have been staring at those blank spots for too long!
