Still mad this variant was limited and long sold out before I got mine.

Autistic trans bitches love their synths and clear plastic.

Though Im still very happy with my boring black one, amazing for Industrial. It's like a fucked up mix of a SH-101 (Oscillator Mixer) and Sequential Pro One (Mod Matrix). a

I feel like people who post on eurorack forums don't understand that they are all insane by necessity.

show us the weirdest little gadget you have that you love

I LOVE GADGETS! Its not so little but I love my Octatrack MKII. I’ve owned the OP-1, Z, M8 tracker, Polyend tracker, and this is my favorite sampling device outta all of them. It has so much hidden depth and cool unique funky ways to process and modulate sounds, both with samples ofc and also LIVE, and you can retrigger via MIDI (u can loop midi back into itself and do live resampling), ho boy its good. Max marco on YouTube showed me what this beast can truly do. Perfect IDM glitchy dnb machine. I also love my two semi modular little synths, the 0-coast and quandrantid swarm

Hey all. Haven't made a post is a long time. Last post was in 2016 at the end of high school peak phase 4. That was about 8 years ago and gorillaz has never been more popular. I used this blog as past time it Ended in highschool. But never stopped being a Gorillaz fan. Love that I spent high school making gif sets in computer class and it was amazing to have a following such a great community. It was a Honor to reblog such artwork.

This is what have been working on a few projects since then that is kinda music related. Mostly my Pet project M.A.V.I.S a DIY Eurorack hybrid Synth. Named After the MOOG Mavis Semi modular. But mines more modular.

This is my APC Synthcard you guys can check it out at www.hackaday.io/project/196231-atari-punk-console-semi-patchable-synthcard or Shoot me a encouraging words on my email at www.circulartonic.com Been cooking stuff for a while. It looks like all 8,480 (used to be 10k peak gorillaz mode *2016*) Guess some of them were bots and were exorcised. Have a wonderful night.

MIDI to CV and back: Can your regular synth become semi-modular?

[mousoumanager]

The ARP 2600 is a semi-modular analog synthesizer released in the early 1970s by ARP Instruments. It offers a powerful combination of pre-wired signal paths and modular flexibility, meaning it can be played right out of the box or deeply customized using patch cables. It features three oscillators, a classic low-pass filter, envelope generators, a spring reverb, and a built-in preamp/speaker system.

Usage:

Known for its versatile sound design, from rich basses and leads to complex effects and textures.

Ideal for educational use, studio synthesis, film scoring, and live performance.

Notable artists, songs, and albums:

Stevie Wonder – used the ARP 2600 extensively in albums like Music of My Mind (1972) and Talking Book (1972): for lead synths and layered textures.

Herbie Hancock – featured on Head Hunters (1973) and beyond: used for funky synth solos and experimental sounds.

Joe Zawinul (Weather Report) – used it for atmospheric sounds and expressive leads on albums like Sweetnighter (1973).

Edgar Winter – used the 2600 for the iconic synth riff in “Frankenstein” from They Only Come Out at Night (1972).

Ben Burtt (sound designer) – created the voice of R2-D2 in Star Wars using an ARP 2600 (1977).

Daft Punk – used the ARP 2600 during the production of Random Access Memories (2013), notably for effects and layered analog textures.

The ARP 2600 is revered for its fat tone, hands-on control, and iconic sound, making it one of the most legendary synthesizers in music and film history.

Synth Tutorial

Bit of an odd one this time round, though a fun one. We had an assignment in my class to use a synth we'd never seen before and to get familiar with the synth. I chose a modular system in the class, but specifically the Strymon Magneto. Why not choose an oscillator for my synth? ... Anyways. Good sounding module, and I got many an interesting soundscape out of it using drones, my semi modular Moogs my professor let me hook up to it, as well as a few other modules. Below is a slideshow I made hastily for the module with some basics. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1U27ZJYcEF3BsDjqNdpYoWgN8ZGrnfN3drGXf_g9-AW4/edit?usp=sharing I claim no sense of mastery over this module, but MAN was the journey I had with it fascinating.

Eurorack vs. Semi-Modular Synths – a comprehensive series of articles:

#music #modularsynths #eurorack #semimodular

[estoniacobaltpayne]

Lmaoooo yes I’m a musician and producer and anytime someone brings up whatever special interest character I have atm + music I’m like 👀😮 visibly excited lol

Anyways so for Tech- not only could he pick up any instrument and figure it out, but he’d also be a great recording, mixing, and mastering engineer, and would be o b s e s s e d with synthesis lol. Like not only would he be a great piano player with those fingers (oh god those yummy fingers 😩🤪), he’d have a full rack for on stage with like a nord grand, at least 2 different synths, and probably the biggest pedal board for one of the synths that you could possibly imagine, PLUS a room full of synths at home in his home studio. Modular, semi modular, patch cables fucking EVERYWHERE, you name it. Tech would be a mf GOD at finding the best possible sounds those oscillators could make (lmao Tech would for SURE have a tiny ASDR tattoo on his wrist too lol). He’s also definitely a guy that could use any DAW but prefers Logic Pro (because lets face it, it’s the best DAW all around production wise lmao), and also refuses to buy new MIDI or XLR cables because he’s a fucking whiz at repairing them. He probably also collects every bit of pro audio gear he can find, and at some point you KNOW dawg’s gonna come home with ANOTHER mf interface or analog compressor or some other type of space eating analog gear and Hunter’s gonna lose his gODDAMN mind 💀

Instruments I imagine the Bad Batch would play

(basing this entirely off the instruments that come to mind when I think of each Bad Batch member, no real rhyme or reason to this)

Omega: violin

Hunter: guitar, though I also think he has a really good tenor voice

Tech: we all know he's the kind of person who knows enough about music theory and how each instrument works that he can pick up just about any instrument and play it well; but his favorite to play is the piano (and maybe the organ)

Echo: vocals - I strongly headcanon that he's a fantastic singer, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about him also playing the trumpet

Wrecker: drums, though I also imagine he'd have a ton of fun with the accordion

Crosshair: why, why, WHY do I keep picturing him trying to play the bagpipes??!? (he must be trying to annoy Hunter when he does so...) But when he's serious, he plays the clarinet.

Feel free to share what instruments you think they'd play!!!

[rnadvillain]

can aomeone come over and teach me about (semi)modular synthesizers i bought a midi controller to play with in my daw and it has its own sequencer (two of them! one for beats) and all sorts of arpeggiators and stuff like that. and i really want to buy an analog synth to play with but im not sure where to start lol
