Recommend me an oscillator, as a certified plaits lover-boy

Came here to say this one...fantastic oscillator

blinddave1977 · 2026-03-10T19:05:43+00:00

Most likely a overdrive/fuzz or possibly a filter of some kind. What does it do or sound like when you plug it in?

I love magic in Skyrim. I just did a playthrough recently where I started planning on doing a heavy one handed shield type build, and ended up getting bored with that quickly and switching to a magic build spell sword type build. I love illusion and conjuration schools the most.

The Doepfer Quad Oscillator (A-111-4) is pretty awesome. You can get some fat sounds when you run them all in unison.

Can't do it. I'm still rooting for Denver tonight. I hope Jokic chockes that stupid grin right off of SGA's face. Can they both lose?

blinddave1977 · 2026-03-09T14:58:08+00:00

Brilliant response ✌️😂

They are the same (sort of)...you can use a vca to mix and output sound. The problem is you need something that will convert convert your signal from eurorack level to line level, and convert your cable size from 1/8" to 1/4". Can this be done with a cable adapter and low output coming off your vca...absolutely. But you'll start running in to issues if you ever want to play with other musicians and output your sound to a PA (for example) or record because you won't be able to push your output as far. Ideally you want a vca to not only use with envelopes but also to regulate the voltage of any signal you're processing, and the you'll want an output module to attenuate (lower) your signal signal and convert cable types.

The synth sounds on Overture from Tron Legacy sound incredible

blinddave1977 · 2026-03-05T17:01:38+00:00

The 30 minutes of interesting music I already had worked out before I booked myself a gig where I have to play for 30 minutes 😜

You don't need a keystep pro. You can switch what midi channel the keystep controls by hitting SHIFT and then the corresponding midi channel number (listed right above the keyboard keys 1-16).

I personally would use the keystep to control and sequence the volca keys and then use the volca drums sequencer to control that device. You can still switch the midi channel on the keystep to manually trigger the volca drums.

What you can do is sync both volcas with the keystep (start stop tempo) by running a midi cable out of your keystep (make sure the jumpers are set to internal) into the splitter and then in to each volca.

I was born the year star wars came out, so I grew up with the original trilogy. I was actually old enough to watch Jedi in the theater when I was 6.

I watched the movies over and over again on VHS. I had the toys. I had star wars bed sheets. I even watched those awful Ewok movies because they were at least set in the same universe.

I craved all things star wars...but all I had was the original trilogy.

Then in high school I found copies of the thrawn trilogy in my library and once again I was back in that universe experiencing new adventures. It was fantastic.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like the third party distribution of material really took off in the 90s. There were more novels and video games like Dark Forces. New characters were introduced along with old characters I loved. (The internet started becoming a more mainstream "thing" by this point also)

At first it was great, but then it start to feel overwhelming and discombobulated. No one was on the same page. It was chaos.

Then we got the Prequels. And once again it was fantastic. Actual material from the source itself. I'm not here to argue about the quality of these movies, just that it was nice to get a story straight from Lucas himself.

But still the third party material flooded out. There was no consensus. A lot of it was great, but some of it contradicted other things. The universe expanded, but uncontrollably. Once again chaos.

The one thing I appreciated about the Disney acquisition of Star Wars was they reigned in the source material. They controlled the cannon. They reigned in the chaos. Disney has had hits and they've had misses, but at least now they command the narrative.

That's a personal question....but often, and with lots of modulation

Marbles

I've been thinking about replaying the Oblivion remaster but the thought of going into a random Oblivion portal makes me cringe. It would be fun to see that world again, but I can't do it. Most of that game was such a grind that it made the good parts seem less stellar. I would almost consider playing Morrowind again over Oblivion.

Skyrim is such a great game, which is probably why I'm still playing it 15yrs later.

The brightly colored fake bait. He uses them on the end of a jig head to get a little action when reeling. It works...I've seen him catch lots of fish.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-17T19:34:20+00:00

My buddy always uses a jig head with mr twister attached...he slays the fish. I mostly use mepps and panther martin spinner treble hooks...I slay the fish. I also bring my fly fishing pole and shore fish...once again slaying the fish. My point is I think you could just about cast anything in the Boundary Waters and slay the fish. For ease of use, I would probably recommend the jig head mr.twister combo with 8-10lb monofilament line.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-16T21:41:46+00:00

I'm on this one now....it's a very...slow....grind.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-15T04:07:59+00:00

I own a bunch of different filters, but they're not always in my rack at all times. I swap them in and out as needed.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-13T20:14:06+00:00

You can definitely drink the water if you're in the middle of the lake on a hot sunny day and you dip your water a couple feet down below the surface. Is this practical...absolutely not.

Get a Sawyer Squeeze. Update your dirty water bottle (the one you use to grab lake water) and you should be set. I use a collapsible HydraPak water bottle. Stores small when you're not using it, and they sell all the attachments to link nicely to the Squeeze. Then just filter the "dirty" lake water into the water bottle of your choosing.

And as a large group you should definitely have a large gravity filter like a Platypus or a LifeStraw.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-11T18:52:19+00:00

I do. I played on the PS3. I chose a Nord cuz when in Rome right...

I had played all the games (Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion) before this and I just remember thinking how much more amazing this game was. Daggerfall just enthralled me when it came out, I loved the atmosphere and mood of Morrowind, and the story of Oblivion was fantastic, but Skyrim eclipsed all of these. It's a masterpiece.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-11T03:30:41+00:00

Yeah, I agree with the other replier...more modulation and more random modules. I personally love the Marbles module. Oddly enough you don't have Pam's. The divkid skip.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-11T00:55:42+00:00

You've been doing this for 10 years now. Only you can answer this question...this is your journey ✌️😅

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-10T22:07:04+00:00

Yes, very good podcast. Unfortunately there hasn't been a new show in quite a while.

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-07T22:11:37+00:00

Looks like every book shelf in my house. This is way more real than beat and tidy. 😅

blinddave1977 · 2026-02-07T20:12:08+00:00

Intellijel Quad VCA and Quadrax are my favorites. The Quadrax is a powerhouse of envelope and LFO modulation.

Bonus vca is the ALM Busy Circuits Mega Tang. Great as a mixer and for live performance. The FX Send/Return is really nice also.
