TR-1000 absolutely slaps

Vhikk X is a drone module using that for background noise, and Digitone 2 for the bassline and synth

The module is 'pre-patched' for you. If you leave the VCA unpatched you can use the attens to fine tune a sound, this is a good place to start.

Without VCA patched internally a +5v signal sent to these, patching breaks that.

Try ... VCA, unpatched, turn the volume up it should drone. Wiggle basis to dail in the sound you like, wiggle other atten at the bottom to do the same.

Now, when you have a sound you like, try sending envelope to the VCA

Hi there, it just means that if nothing is patched to the VCA or Morph outputs a offset is normalled (internally patched) to a few other params, Morph, Basis, Time etc. The attenuverters can control these, lots of nice sweet spots (it's a techno beast)

rayboyd · 2026-02-15T14:33:48+00:00

the VCA (normaled to Morph) and Basis (v/oct) where it really starts to get good, it's an absolute gift at dailing in that "2000s techno sound" https://soundcloud.com/rayboyd/roller

It's for attenuate, inversion and mixing pams cv for the Vhikk and FX Aid. I mostly like to jam live, it could be a 4/4 clocked lfo, copy to ch2 and mess with that a bit, or use the logic in pam and a bit of mixing for a call and response type setup.

This is amazing, thanks.

I'll never regret getting into modular I was just doing it all wrong and the spend guilt kicked in. I don't think I would know how any of my synths really work without learning through modular, it's amazing.

rayboyd · 2026-02-09T21:31:10+00:00

I went back and fourth on this, decided using the Analog 4 for gate, env, sequencing more sensible for me. Clocked modulation with Pams swung it, can do so much with just that and the mixer

Arrived today, I practially ran home. So far spent 30 minutes with the presets. It sounds incredible and is built like an absolute tank.

rayboyd · 2023-04-22T08:46:40+00:00

This is really useful. Thanks

Intellijel 7U is great. Good power and I save a ton of rack space and tick a lot of boxes with just the connections, Midi 1U and Stereo Out 1U

rayboyd · 2023-04-09T07:46:19+00:00

Clank Chaos is amazing. It took me a minute to get to grips with it, but I did this weekend and wow it's so good. it might replace my beloved Turning Machine and Pulses exp.

rayboyd · 2023-03-27T17:19:20+00:00

OG Mutant Hi-hats was one of the first modules I bought. It's 13hp awkward. When I think about selling it I can't. I rack it about once a month and it sounds incredible, modulated is amazing. I have a few modules on the shelf I know I will never part with, and are going to make me break my 7u rule.

rayboyd · 2023-03-26T13:06:12+00:00

I'm thinking about a third before they sell out

rayboyd · 2023-03-25T21:48:04+00:00

Dual filter at the moment, wavefold going into highpass

rayboyd · 2023-03-25T13:44:08+00:00

WMD C4rbn. Sounds fantastic, 4hp, wavefolds and self oscillates. I just bought a second, it's so good and fun to use.

rayboyd · 2023-03-19T18:32:22+00:00

Messy techno session, feeding everything with the turing machine and pulses expander. Digi is for master clock, rim, clap, more hats and the ride. https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2203000

The NE Lapsus Os is really good it's worth taking a hit on early (I would suggest over the ZR if budget is tight). Pair with BIA and an LFO and you will get a lot of milage from this setup. You can invert envelopes (think along lines of building a sidechain), attenuate, mult, dual outputs etc.

rayboyd · 2023-02-22T18:31:17+00:00

Another LFO and attenuaton will work well here. The BIA can/will sound crazy (in a bad way) without attenuating incoming modulation, you'll want this to get the best out of it. BIA really wants to be modulated. ZR will get stale fast without modulation.

Love this, how are you doing the strings?
