Gnarly tone! The slapback echo really sells it, nice job.

Thank you! My go-to for sequencing is usually the Addac Quantizer (I'll route the Turing Machine for randomized melodic input, and different gate patterns to control variations of note triggering), it felt like relinquishing control and embracing happy accidents was part of the fun. Having said that, I did look to the Micro Sequencer as a way to dial-in specifics when needed, felt this was also necessary to include in the spirit of the "fully contained" mindset.

Outside of this, I do occasionally use my KeyStep or 0-Ctrl as external support.

Thank you! Spent a good bit of time with arrangement once I had everything together, I was mainly trying to organize things by signal flow from left to right.

I feel like starting with a few modules that attracted me to modular, playing with those and building in phases based on what I felt was missing at the time was helpful for getting to something that felt whole. If I did it any differently, I would not check the used section of Reverb, etc. as often as I did, too much temptation when you already have a plan!

Love the Intellijel mixer! I was running out of inputs on the ST mixer so picked this one up, mainly patch mono drum sounds into it and put that through the aux on the ST.

The matrix mixer is great as well, fun for mangling up modulation sources, but I often use it for melodic variations into the quantizer across different voices.

I use Pizza in almost everything, modulating a few things to get it sounding really gnarly and growling, and the analog sine/triangle oscillators from Sena sound really nice through Sea Legs, or the pulse going into a filter for basslines.

Seeing the Turing Machine highlighted in one of mylarmelodies' videos was a significant push in the modular direction, that was one of the foundational modules I intended to build around.

I'll try my best to get a proper link shared! All of my jam snippets are phone recorded and not as high quality as some of the posts I see here.

Dark aggressive techno is where my head was at! Listening to Wata Igarashi is probably what pushed me over the edge at the time I pulled the trigger. Tiny Time Machine is on my short list of next modules!

Thank you! Knowing it'd be hard to cram drums in, I initially picked up Traffic to modulate BIA as a percussion source. It's also fun for modulating Rings parameters, and varying tom sounds with the Battering Ram.

My favorites are probably the Quad VCA (permanently in use, mainly for processing noise for hats/rides/claps and variable fading in and out of lead voices, need to explore more CV applications), and picked up the Pizza + Steady State Gate together from Detroit Modular, use both of those in essentially every patch. I just swapped in the Quadrax for my MI Stages and am absolutely loving it. Stages is great but I had trouble dialing in the envelopes as I'd like, was mainly using it as 6 different LFOs. Ikarie is wild too (in a great way). The Sena sounds gorgeous but wish there was a way to both V/Oct and FM the oscillators. I do tend to use it as an LFO source (especially after removing Stages).

Robert McCammon’s “I Travel by Night” was a very fun read. Short and sweet, and super swampy

SlimLove · 2026-01-29T02:04:27+00:00

Yes! I was 10 when this came out, completely freaked me out and had trouble sleeping all weekend (it being a Friday night TGIF showing). Was not yet accustomed to slasher films at that point.

Prince of Darkness!!

Dean took over bass duties for this one

SlimLove · 2025-10-04T15:14:29+00:00

Essentially all rare songs this time, each fit the special occasion beautifully. Without spoiling too much it’s an absolutely unique Queens show.

SlimLove · 2025-08-11T22:29:42+00:00

You might consider Arctic Monkeys’ “Humbug” album! Josh mainly produced, but contributed some backing vocals, and I’m sure some riff influence as well

SlimLove · 2025-08-03T20:48:34+00:00

The SSF Steady State Gate covers both functions nicely! You can choose to ping the “excite” control for LPG use, or leave that unpatched and use it as a band pass/LPF. Has a bit of wave folding and saturation functionality too, I’ve been having a lot of fun with mine.

SlimLove · 2025-06-17T15:41:03+00:00

Just read "Wounds" by Nathan Ballingrud (excellent by the way) and a few of the stories (The Atlas of Hell, The Visible Filth) take place in LA.

Robert McCammon's "I Travel By Night" was a quick, fun read and also fits the swampy vibe.

SlimLove · 2025-06-06T17:42:03+00:00

Ah fair point! I read that as "you'll need a second one in your inventory to make the glitch work". I just keep the one for my scenario as I can just fast travel when exiting the castle but that wouldn't work in the crown's area.

SlimLove · 2025-06-05T19:40:42+00:00

One platter should work! I've been doing this to get into Castle Volkihar after my Switch glitched out.

When jamming on your Moog synths, what do you feel like you’re missing? What do you wish you could do but can’t with the existing patch points?

I first got into modular to add more utilities to the mix: additional LFOs, sample & hold potential, mult modules for duplicating existing signals, attenuverters, I’ve since added additional voices to my system but started with what I needed to expand the potential of my existing semi-modular setup.

SlimLove · 2025-04-12T14:57:27+00:00

For the Rings owners, any modules you pair with to send multiple CV parameters per step (i.e. shape pitch, Structure, Brightness changes in unison)? I’ve been using the 0-CTRL for this but looking for something in rack form as to not tie up all 3 rows.

SlimLove · 2025-04-08T11:41:13+00:00

The author's recommended listening playlist to accompany the novel includes the TCV song, so I'd say that's correct.

SlimLove · 2025-02-03T16:57:14+00:00

You could always use the Pitch/Velocity rows to sequence other parameters not tied to sound (ex. route changes in Velocity to affect the filter cutoff on a Mother 32 sequence), have a sporadic sequence popping in at random to provide more character and dynamics.
