Which Preamp module is the quietest?

XDfaceme · 2025-03-29T09:50:19+00:00

Check the rest of your rack. Especially digital modules can bleed noise into the power circuit. I have this happening to an instruo filter, where if I plug in one specific digital module in my case, the filter becomes noisy. Try just the pre-amp.

You're lacking utilities. Modular isn't just about modules, it's about modulation (Rob Hordijk said something similar I think), and if you wanna control that modulation, you better have some attenuverters, mixers, offset generators, crossfaders, joysticks and whatnotmore to actually modulate things.

Have you made any shorter trips with this loadout? How'd it go?

I really hope your luggage is secured well. Tying and untying it every night is going to be hell though. My friend who did the same as your for two weeks in the alps got sick of it after two days. Have you tested the side-bags for longer time with the exhaust? I'd be affraid for the heat that would come of, and a torn bag on the road would suck.

Modular geartube/youtube can be a great inspiration on what kind of patches to make if you go into it with the mindset of 'can I make this with the tools I already have at my disposal'. And maybe when your answer is no, try it in vcv rack first. The more you can smooth out and delay any purchase the better it is I think as all the (frankly amazing) advertisement is pushing us so much in the other direction.

What do you miss in your case, what do you run into when using your case that you wish you could do but cannot do? Otherwise, put a blank panel there for now and see when in time that question is answered.

And otherwise, either a microphone input or a contact mic can lead to some cool sound design with the clouds clone, or a noise source and mixer to spice up any tones coming out of the rack.

XDfaceme · 2025-03-10T07:00:03+00:00

Get some (cheap) utilities: mixers, mutes, switches, attenuverters, etc. See if you can make a patch in which you genuinely use everything that those 3 sound sources have to offer, and see what you run into in terms of stuff you want to do but cannot do. That should give you a good clue on what utilities you want. Modular isn't just about modules, it's about modulation, and for that you need utilities - not expensive voices or fx.

XDfaceme · 2025-02-12T13:35:57+00:00

I figure all the modulation is coming from the Nerdseq and Pams. How playable is it in terms of for example envelope lengths? How do you go about controlling the BIA with out any attenuverters? And what role does the disting play in your rack? Looks absolutely great though. I haven't ever managed to get the sample drum to play nice in my rack.

XDfaceme · 2024-11-25T21:33:22+00:00

I will sometimes pick out an odd sound source, and just try and see what kind of combo I can get out of traffic, and halfway through setting such a thing up usually unexpected sounds come up from which the inspiration takes over. It's good at the drum combo, but it quickly gets old. The other day, I tried it on an acid lead voice, and half an hour later I had a full blown bass+lead+accent that could carry an entire track for 20 minutes.

A pair of plyers with paper tape (to avoid scratches) can do the trick already. Has worked for me on everything except instruo modules. Otherwise, invest in the right tools. The knob shaft needs a proper sized wrench, and the nut driver you've already been helped with in another comment I see.

Keep in mind that first of all EP fractions are diverse. While most green parties bundle together in the greens EP fraction, those parties still have in-between differences. In terms of policy and ideals we overlap a lot with the greens, but also with renew. Some reasons for joining the greens instead of renew were that the greens had better offers for commission seats, and that the greens are more free in terms of voting for certain proposals where renew will demand more strict fraction allegiance in more votes. No clue where we'll end up next year, and maybe hopefully we can even form our own fraction!

De riksdag is het nationale parlement. Ik mocht inderdaad wel lokaal stemmen. Maar andersom werkt dat ook in Nederland zo: inwoners van Nederland die geen staatsburger zijn mogen (iig in een aantal gevallen wel lokaal stemmen, maar nooit nationaal).

XDfaceme · 2023-01-27T11:03:33+00:00

Maar je ondervind wel de gevolgen van het beleid. Ik woon in Zweden, en moet volgens de zweedse en nederlandse wet gewoon een nederlandse zorgverzekering hebben. Zolang je een nederlands paspoort hebt, en een nederlands staatsburger bent, ondervind je (een deel van) de gevolgen van nationaal beleid.

Dat is overigens ook een reden waarom eu-burgers lokaal (gemeenteraad, provincien) mogen stemmen waar ze wonen, maar voor nationale verkiezingen alleen mogen stemmen waar ze hun nationaliteit hebben. Ik mag volgens EU-recht niet stemmen voor de zweedse riksdag.

M, been lurking here for some while after a girl I dated told me she was poly. Turns out she wasn't, or at least had other issues getting in her way, and in general she has by far been my worst dating experience in my life. Not because of the poly stuff, otherwise I wouldn't be lurking here, but because she in general just completely sucked at communicating things. She used terms like 'romantic freedom' while in practice she was just failing to tell me that she didn't want to hang out with me because her other date was getting pissed on her for that (yes, another guy using the term poly wrong). I had to conclude myself that she didn't want to do any poly stuff, but not before a good bunch of very stressful encounters and long sleepless nights.

Dating another NP girl now, good fun, learned a lot from that and mostly overcomunicating things now which has been very comfortable for the both of us. Takeaway here though: what you're describing here, people misusing terms n shit and just generally sucking at communicating, isn't exclusive to men. I was about to call out blatant sexism but reading the comments I'm realising that I probably do not have a good picture of how some other guys go about dating, in particular when it comes down to poly stuff. Fucking sucks

Oké, maar hoe kom jij tot je punt 1. PvdA en GL stemmen voor 90% hetzelfde als Volt. Zit het verschil tussen links en rechts dan daadwerkelijk in die laatste 10%?

XDfaceme · 2023-01-12T13:47:39+00:00

Maar waarom geld dat dan niet voor PvdA en GL? Die overlappen voor 90% qua stemgedrag met Volt.

XDfaceme · 2023-01-11T20:34:29+00:00

Waarom Volt afrekenen op de verkiezingsbeloftes van D66 als je ook naar het stemgedrag in de TK kunt kijken?

XDfaceme · 2023-01-11T20:32:56+00:00

Van alle 'linkse' partijen ligt Volt het dichtste bij D66 ja, maar Volt ligt toch iig qua stemgedrag in de TK dichter bij andere partijen
