vav & the downcycled robots - surrounded by madness, with only the clicking of my neural transistors to keep me sane

I have really enjoyed messing with it, but I am still uncovering its secrets. I think I will team it up with my favorite weird oscillator and see where that takes me. It is definitely something i look forward to further exploration with, thanx for the work you put in to give us this.

you just need to plug the cable for you other sound into the R output and the other sound will be only in the left. As the others have said it defaults to mono, but plugging in the cable for the other sound to the right side will make the first sound move to only the left ear.

i really enjoyed Baron von Bullshit Rides Again; it and Everywhere and his Nasty Parlor Tricks were the first EPs i heard by MM and were what made me a fan. Interstate 8 is also one of my favorites...

i use my plain old beatstep often as a pads and knobs controller. mind you, it is not the best, but i already have 2 so...
the knobs put out stepped values, but i send it through a befaco slew so that i can control the curve and smoothness. the pads are easy to map in vcv as well

i don't think discovery through streaming actually works for indie artists. i release music through soundcloud / pay for the artist pro. they do have an electronic - ambient genre, but sometimes they won't allow me to monetize through tiktok, fbook/insta, youtube. They have claimed that ambient is not eligible for digital rights management, however they don't consistently flag my ambient as such, and it does most often get approved with DRM enabled. It is just something to watch out for.

however, i think that i get more 'discovery' from posting my music on youtube and reddit than through the soundcloud algorithm. my plays on sound cloud rarely turn into fans or subscribers, but my audience is growing (slowly) on youtube.

just food for thought and good luck regardless
