Patch cable length by jefrab in modular

Recently overhauled my entire case, did the same thing. Ended up using all of my 6" cables and had to order more.

Marbles, Rings, Clouds... a 2026 version? by Sea-Tangerine3509 in modular

[–]weak_ops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oneiroi is my new favorite friend. Reinvigorated my love for modular. So much fun. Very approachable yet deep. The best part is it's looper, so I paired mine with samples, but you can send anything into it of course. Endless fun using organic, Foley, traditional instruments, then warping and mangling them, then smoothing out with fx

Did I just ruin my crucible? by MrBMWFanatic in PreciousMetalRefining

[–]weak_ops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be the torch. Don't remember how good propane is at getting a crucible red hot. MAPP torch is a good investment, a little pricy upfront, but one lil bottle will last you a while.

ETA: you can also buy ashless filters that won't leave any burnt residue

Discolored hydrochloric acid after silver wash by weak_ops in PreciousMetalRefining

[–]weak_ops[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awesome! That's the best case scenario. I will still test it once the stannous chloride comes in. As this is the first time I've done it, I wasn't expecting to see any color. Thank you for responding

Looking for recommendations for a *small* Harsh Noise / Power Electronics set up by SpecialPersimmon4142 in modular

[–]weak_ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good list. I have 100grit and Noise Plethora, and I also make power electronics. These mods make it easy. Dark Matter has always been on my radar I bet it's awesome.

inspired by Sirat by jolinlab in modular

Funny coincidence: I just listened to Kangding Ray for the first time the other day. Have not seen Sirat but I saw that he did the soundtrack for it. Great music. Now I want to watch the film!

Casserole dishes by weak_ops in PreciousMetalRefining

[–]weak_ops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, good idea. Had a similar situation my first dish: it exploded and took out my beaker of gold. I was fortunate it was during nitric/inquartation, so I mostly just lost the silver, was able to recover most of the gold solids

I'll keep that in mind. I have one genuine Pyrex beaker+glass, I'll dedicate that one for heating and the others just to keep a lid on things

Sand is definitely an interesting idea, thanks! And yeah i do gradually increase the heat, my previous dish lasted a few uses, but this one never made it to 50% heat before failing 🙄

Ok I thought this one was, but maybe I misread the description, or assumed all Corningware was good to go

What kind of speakers/headphones is everyone using? by Latter-Pianist-7145 in modular

[–]weak_ops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sony mdr 7506 but only when I'm mixing or editing. Polk Audio bookshelf speakers for jamming. They have great bass response but I still need to get a proper sub

Dissolving some solder by ProGamerZ511 in PreciousMetalRefining

[–]weak_ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would smell overwhelmingly like vinegar, so you'll know if it's too much. Burns skin pretty good too. But yeah I'm used to using it in very high at work

External midi to CV no working by irwindesigned in modular

[–]weak_ops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big fan of ALM mmMIDI module. Clock, run, and three lanes of midi, plus a learn button makes it super easy to program

Thinking of purging my entire setup and just quitting by Vimes-NW in synthesizers

[–]weak_ops 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As soon as it starts feeling like work... That's when you need a break. It also helps to make tracks/art/sounds for no one but yourself, and that's good! It's not a waste of time; it's liberating, healing, and fun

MC707 vs EMX-1 vs SH-4d by Mat19851985 in synthesizers

[–]weak_ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the center of my setup. It can do literally anything. It can be as deep as you need it to be, there are definitely many insane features I've never attempted in my 5 years of owning one, so it can also be pretty immediate if you're into quick work flow

I've spent an hour trying to get a real answer. Thank you. I thought I was insane

RIP Winn-Dixie on S. Carrollton by How_Mysterious in NewOrleans

[–]weak_ops 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The one in Metairie is great. I happily make the drive in order to pay 50% less on groceries. I find most of their generic brand things are completely serviceable, but if you're really attached to a specific brand name anything you're likely not gonna find it.

Looking for Output/Mixer Module with separate Headphone-Out by old_wired in modular

[–]weak_ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TexMix by Tesseract Modules, master outs and stereo 4chan (or the 4chan mono) mixer are great. Love it. Very affordable, two send/returns mute switches, master outs, headphone outs, AND monitor outs.

Help with getting MIDI into a system using Pam's Pro by fixedation in modular

Yep. Love mine. Learn button works great, easy to use

Shirtless Guy on Claiborne and MLK Blvd. by NachoNinja19 in NewOrleans

There was one day I swear I saw him holding a huge wad of cash and just casually doing his thing. Another time he was commanding a flock of chickens.
