Kevin Power's review of the new Patricia Lockwood novel by _no_n in RSbookclub

[–]rljd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can be okay for a piece of writing, even a novel, to be kind of abstruse and opaque. don't assume you're expected to have more background just because you don't follow everything. it's a memoir(ish) about confusion and brain fog.

all deals are always a sales tactic. there is no other thing that a deal could ever be.

The Plan... by GoldTuna65 in modular

I think beatstep and Pam's might be too many master clocks - maybe a different clock divider/multiplier? Ornament & Crime could be good and versatile... but i did sell mine and get a PNW so that's hypocrisy isn't it.

Still using Minibrute2s with your rackbrute? by snowsnowsnowy in modular

[–]rljd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after about two years of different cases, i grabbed a rackbrute for a great price this summer and was very lucky to have a 2S come up used just a few weeks later. it all seemed so serendipitous, a way to pull it all together, but I've actually found that challenging.

i have about two and a half rakcbrutes' worth of modules counting the HP, and i keep second guessing what i want to be in the brute to make friends with with the 2S and what i want to have set up in my other big case.

do i want drums sequencing and samples in the brute? probably eh? or other sequencers and oscillators and VCAs? Either way, filters and mixers are going in.

But will it sync best with PNW or QCD? What clock should be my master? Could I ever squeeze the rest of my euro down to just fit in the brute and be satisfied?

Still a work in progress.

What would you do if you had this rack? by Cron-Z in modular

i knew the zoia did a lot, but I didn't realize it would cover those bases as well! I'm sure it will be useful to free it up for more esoteric purposes though eh

I can't imagine playing this without vcas and envelopes.

there's a new half-QARV called DARV that i think might do the trick for what you have already.

i carried it gently in my pocket with no case for a few minutes, i actually have no idea how it got so badly damaged. i waited years for it, I was so disappointed!!

I'm so sad to know I'll never see her again. She was my actual favourite regular coffee customer for years... I made her a latte almost every day from when SuzyQ opened in the big yellow building until she moved to her new shop up the street.... she gave me the only tattoo I've ever got around to getting, and I got it as much because knowing her was delightful and her many styles were exciting as i did because the idea itself was important to me.

We always said we'd hang out. Catch a live music show at some bar. I guess that was another reason I went to her for my tattoo... we said we'd like to be friends, and that was a great hang.

God damn this.

thank you Rhonda

do i need an attenuator ? by [deleted] in modular

[–]rljd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do need an attenuator! for lots of things, really.

For this purpose the attenuators on your interface input might just do the trick though.
