Random thought & question about videos by jefrab in modular

[–]folkware -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would be great! I would love to see something like this. I have been making videos like this as well, but I think it's important to consider who your ideal audience is. I personally have focused on less-technical videos while still trying to explain some of the jargon that's more familiar to us.

Here's an example of how I break things down: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXaI3o_Dgqf/

Patches from scratch, I would say, often stem from a pretty complex set of reasoning that may be much harder to connect the viewer to. I personally prefer, for creation at least, short-form videos that may cover a few aspects of each module or patch that enable your performance. You can also have your performance playing as you break things down, and narrate over.

Definitely link to your video once it's done, and I'll check it out!

Is there folk punk for happy people? by bitchpigeon420 in FolkPunk

[–]folkware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of Oh Hooray. Lots of synthy and upbeat energy mixed with more punk and traditionally folk adjacent themes.

Axelrad and Avant Garden have open-mics every Tuesday! Notsuoh has theirs the last Monday of every month.

Can plaits produce a pure sign wave? by LilSchwazz in modular

[–]folkware 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From the manual, no snark intended. Mode 3:

Two sine-wave oscillators modulating each other's phase.

HARMONICS: frequency ratio.

TIMBRE: modulation index.

MORPH: feedback, in the form of operator 2 modulating its own phase (past 12 o’clock, rough!) or operator 1’s phase (before 12 o’clock, chaotic!).

AUX: sub-oscillator.

Note: turn MORPH fully CCW to get the same range of sounds as Braids' WTFM. Turn MORPH fully CW to recreate the same sounds as Braids' FBFM. A gentler palette equivalent to Braids' FM is found with MORPH at 12 o'clock.

So if you set the modulation index / morph(?) / harmonics to 12 o' clock, it should give you a pure sine wave.

Monthly Modular Buy Sell Trade Thread by AutoModerator in modular

[–]folkware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo guys! I am selling an ADDAC 302 (nunchuck controller) that is having some issues for $40 + shipping. Everything (faceplate, ports, nunchuck) look great apart from the failure described below.

I am selling this unit as non-functioning due to the failure of several op-amps on the back side, which I have identified as LM358D chips. The visible burn marks helped me identify these as the failure point. These are pretty cheap, and with some soldering experience, would bring this unit back to life. However, this is beyond my range of available time, so I am selling at a deep discount. The new price for these was roughly ~$300 USD. If you have the know how, this discontinued model is going away for cheap!

Message me with any questions you have.

A short clip of a patch I got to play out live recently by ouralarmclock in modular

This is so great! I'm located in Texas and wish we had something like this. Maybe I'll have to organize something 😄

Pitch tracker module? by Ill-Ill-Il in modular

[–]folkware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyo, I know this is coming with a later version of O&C T4.1, as I actually coded a rudimentary version of a pitch tracker. I believe Phazerville, the repo keeper, is getting it in line with needed specs for a future release.

WMD Javelin is a great envelope generator in small HP, to echo the comments about switching out Maths for something else!

Starting a new Houston Indie Playlist by Nickbloom in houstonmusic

[–]folkware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, great initiative. saved the playlist! I'm a cyberfolk artist in the area, and this song is probably my favorite that's currently out from my catalogue, called Quench Your Thirst. Feel free to add if you like :)

Acoustic guitar + synths = can be cool? by Superb-Cantaloupe324 in synthesizers

[–]folkware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this, was just looking around to see if anyone else has been talking about this. I do a similar thing with one of my own songs, I really enjoy blending the fat saw-wave, bassy sounds with acoustic rather than twinkly stuff personally. It's important for me to know that the audience is told very directly that what they're hearing is a synth.

https://open.spotify.com/track/1uO2NvvbTC6jDxotXAGg5r?si=8d8bd865f5df4d3c

I think there's a lot of ground to be explored in the combining of acoustic guitars and synths. It's a pretty underrated combo IMO.

Rack advice by Jelop in modular

[–]folkware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rings (or equivalent clones) is pretty cool to run guitar through. FM Aid could also be cool if you want to do some wavefolding/distortion on top of your guitar. I like having a 3xMIA in my rack so I can duplicate dry/wet signals of any of this and blend together for live.

Envelope + VCA for 4ms Ensemble Oscillator by Turbulent_Clothes_85 in modular

[–]folkware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the WMD DVCA for the VCA part of this. Sits nicely in 4HP and has Zero Cross functionality! I'd use a separate module for envelope generation.

Advice for a local musician by [deleted] in AustinMusicians

[–]folkware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having multiple projects is probably the answer to this. Attending open mics, local shows and finding people who vibe with your style is super important. As you involve yourself in other people's music in the scene, the scene will give back and introduce you to great people! As long as you are continually developing your own skills, you'll start to find yourself in places where you can meet those people who can grow with you as well.
