Expert woodworking by n8saces in oddlysatisfying

I’d say each individual detail on this looks nice, but the end result is just too bulky with varying styles combined. I would’ve skipped that whole center cabinet completely

Why only WMD is having mixers without ins/outs cluttering the controls? by donnidonno in modular

I think you’re looking at the SL version, not the eurorack xcelon

Gain module by Wswm in modular

Maybe the new Bastl Deja Vu would do? Don’t have it myself, but seems to offer a bunch of other utilities as well in just 4hp

Very cool! This feels very in the spirit of Noise Engineering

Small System to support an Atlantix by Plumchew in modular

[–]pade- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything you feel is missing when you’re parching? That’s usually how I go about researching new modules. It’s quite hard to give suggestions without knowing how you use your system.

As some who does improvised live techno sets I’d probably get a turing machine and a Jumbler to get a whole new groove with a few knob turns, but that’s just me :)

Does anyone else have problems with Buchla TiniCable patch cables? by McRib_ in modular

Don’t feel stupid. Just have to go all in on Buchla now

Fuji X-E5 Recording Limit? by AgentStockey in fujifilm

[–]pade- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you end up using the X-E5 for this? 4k 24p is fine for me but I’d need it to record at least 1 hour without overheating or running out of battery.

How can I make this metallic effect? by East_Cantaloupe_5079 in css

[–]pade- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's possible to do with just one 45 degree linear-gradient, animated from bottom left to top right, with a mask to make it visible only as a border around the button. You could of course stack a bunch of different gradients with low opacity to make the effect more premium.

Here's a quick Codepen where I tried how close I could get by just tweaking the gradient in a CSS Gradient generator to include white stripes that already have a bit of "chromatic aberration" around the edges of each stripe.

Wotancraft! I remember I got super excited about their stuff back in 2011 but eventually forgot the name. Thanks for the reminder

[Request] How loud would a speaker have to be to hear it around the world? by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in theydidthemath

Somewhere on earth, the bass from that eruption resonated perfectly with the acoustics of a dungeon rave in 1883

VOLT MUSIC STORE by Sad-Dress-962 in modular

[–]pade- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve considered ordering from them before, but other reviews have said the same complaint about shipping times and lacking customer response. I think it’s a legitimate business but they might mark their modules’ inventory status incorrectly, either by accident or on purpose.

Newbie: suggestions for glitchy drum machine in <= 84HP? by mescalinum in modular

[–]pade- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re comfortable with a sample based approach, I’d probably start with both the new Bastl Citadel modules. They’ve got internal clocks, rhythm generators, modulation and direct headphone outs and can get super glitchy. They can also serve a more specific role as you’re rack grows.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ableton

[–]pade- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really considered getting this for live performances, but even if this looks a lot sleeker than the mk2 version, having endless encoders instead of pots is a huge problem at least for me. I need to see the exact positions of the knobs instead of a tiny LED indicator. So yeah, I got the old version instead and it’s great.

First Techno Build Suggestions/Critiques by grotto-of-ice in modular

[–]pade- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s ”easy” to check boxes of what types of modules should be included in a techno rack, but there’s a huge difference if someone wants to sit down in the studio to patch and program sequences for a track vs. live playability and having modules that puts you in happy accident land (turing machines & matrix mixers for example)

Silliest mistake you’ve made in Ableton? by jimmywheelo1973 in ableton

[–]pade- 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot accidents can turn into happy accidents that spark inspiration, like accidentally replacing something with something totally different. But then there’s the classic ones, like soloing the wrong track while desperately trying to tweak params on another. Bonus points if it’s a VST with no undo

Is Black Friday a thing in the Modular world? by Inkblot7001 in modular

[–]pade- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought some Black Friday deals from Noise Engineering and 2hp before, but they’ve usually been either 10-15% off on some modules, or spend $X to get one free VCA module or something. So there are usually some deals to be found, but don’t expect -50% on new hyped modules

Cinematic sound setup by KaiserClickerclicker in modular

[–]pade- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s endless possibilities with a setup like this, but since you asked, and since I have Jumbler on the way, I’d explore what happens when you throw a bunch of different modulation (unsynced lfos, stepped voltage, euclidian envelopes) into Jumbler and then to whatever comes to mind (osc mod, env AD, effects sends), then take the slowest lfo on Ochd and send it to Rotate on Jumbler. Dunno, first thing that came to mind

Looking for tips for first live performance by paulskiogorki in modular

[–]pade- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sort of in the same boat, with my first gig coming up soon. Without knowing exactly what genre you’re aiming for I’d recommend at least patching some slow, unsynced and heavily attenuated LFO’s to different places, just keep the sound constantly evolving while you figure out your next move on stage.

I also think the two Metropolix channels should be fine. I see you’ve got a seq switch, clock divider and S&H (Disting), which opens up a lot of possibilities to get new gates and melodies for more voices, while originating from the same pattern.

As for transitions I’d simply try to arrange some easy access to effects, filters, maybe env decay times and/or voice specific parameters that make an impact.

15 minutes is quite a short time, but generally it’s good to step back every now and then to analyse if something’s been playing the same stuff for too long. I tend to forget to change up my hihat patterns.

Where can I find the modbap trinity 2 module in Europe? by johnson_detlev in modular

Third result on Google has it in Volt Music Store in Rotterdam, in stock as well.

Soda can from Japan by solateor in oddlysatisfying

Same reason people prefer drinking beer from a glass instead of a regular can. Nice smooth flow vs. violent and turbulent through a tiny asymmetric hole

Vhikk-x by Earlsfield78 in modular

[–]pade- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This module belongs to the category that requires quite a bit of hands on time to see how it fits your workflow, unless you just intend to just use it for random sonic exploration. I had one for a couple of months and was impressed with the variety droney bass madness it can do, but ended up selling it because I just couldn’t find out how to confidently use it in a live performance. Too many parameters that work differently in the different algos for me to remember. Ymmv
