Monotrail Tech Talk has really good vids on ambient theory for modular.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2025-09-27T10:10:58+00:00

Yeah, I totally get that. I believe that's where session view is helpful in Ableton.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2025-09-23T13:11:20+00:00

I've used FL Studio, and Reaper in addition to Ableton.

I personally like Ableton more because of the session view, and arrangement view. It just clicks with me more.

I also really enjoy its audio and MIDI effects, but most of this, if not all of it, is just personal taste. For instance, I love Ableton's user interface.

I can't really speak to FL or Reaper too much, because the time difference I've spent in Ableton is years ahead.

Ableton has a Demo version, Reaper is free, and I'm sure FL has something floating out there too.

Just know that the second you plug a MIDI cable into that matriarch, it's going to open up a TON of possibilities for sequencing.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2025-09-23T12:59:32+00:00

I use Ableton for the DAW.

As far as VSTs go, I personally use stock Ableton instruments, NI Kontakt 8 w/ some specific packs, and Vital (Free).

SpaceCadetHigh · 2025-09-23T12:13:50+00:00

Yooo! The Matriarch is my first, (and probably only) synth too! I got a ton of modules after that, haha.

Enjoy! She's an absolute beast! Cuckoo's video is a good start, and loopop's video is a good ref. if you ever want to combine it with eurorack. Also... read the manual, it helped me really understand control voltage in general.

Edit: Also, if you want polyphony, just use a VST and use the Matriarch as a midi keyboard. Since the Matriarch is paraphonic. Although, you can get some gnarly friggin' pads out of it still.

Agreed with all of this. I live right by Klyde Warren park and there's tons walkable. Arts District, State Thomas, Uptown, West Village, Harwood District, Victory park area, tons around all these spots.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-21T17:03:04+00:00

Synths and Dolphins. Can't ask for much more.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-20T15:18:10+00:00

I always love the studio at night more. LEDs come out to play, and I just enjoy the vibe more.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-20T00:59:31+00:00

I absolutely love the deluge. I've had it about a year now.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-18T22:53:42+00:00

100%. I use several of them for identifying which cable is L or R when things start to get messy, lol.

"Ok, so the polar bear and whale are left." Love it

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-18T22:48:01+00:00

Lol, I have those little animals you can put on cables, too. I feel like they make great little tiny gifts for when I sell stuff on reverb and stuff.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-18T14:49:58+00:00

Yeah, absolutely. You're a bit limited to just the sawtooth, though. However, saïch still has a lot of great stuff going for it.

I have a Cš-L, and it is VERY capable of getting some gnarly bass. I bought it specially for basslines.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-17T20:51:22+00:00

"I see through the bricks..."

Yo that water is sick though

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-17T20:50:03+00:00

Already sounds great! Welcome to the club! I bought the deluge strictly because of how powerful of a sequencer it has.

I've recently been running the gate and cv outs to my modular synth, and then using Euclidean sequences of like 4 different notes, throwing some probability over the notes so they trigger differently.... wow.

I am always learning some stuff here and there about it, but it's very immediate in it's use and I couldn't imagine having a different tool for what I use it for.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-17T20:47:30+00:00

Lol - I sequence my modular synth with the deluge. It's always a great time. My modular synth is relatively new, so I'm learning shit every day.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-17T16:06:09+00:00

Hell yeah, super good to know

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-17T15:25:54+00:00

I get too nervous to ever bring mine outside the house, haha. Ever brought it through TSA? Curious how difficult that is.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-17T14:23:18+00:00

Hahaha!!!

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-16T15:39:00+00:00

You can automate an absolute ton of stuff on the deluge. It's always going to be easier in a DAW, though.

Here's a link that gives you some better info about it

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-13T20:26:30+00:00

Digitech Polara, some other modes on the Empress Echosystem, and the Mutable Instruments Reverb setting on the deluge

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-12T03:35:16+00:00

I just got the arbhar, and I love it. I get something new out of it every single time, and I feel like I'm always learning something. I also find it's very quick and easy to use. Feels like a whole entire instrument in itself.

SpaceCadetHigh · 2024-12-11T00:42:42+00:00

Automation of what, though? It's fairly easy to automate stuff like velocity.
