I've got a mono station and I'm thinking to use it with a eurorack system. I'm gonna ask a silly question perhaps: am I able to send cv to eurorack octave so the monostation can control scales and modes? In that way I can switch modes and scales on the monostation and get the modules synced with the scale I'm using on the monostation
Wow, I wish you would do a video on how you integrate your modular setup and the mpc. I have a very similar setup but using the mpc as a brain was an absolute headache so its used as a drum/sample pad linked with a CV thing. You seem to have a way to actually use much better. Quite intriguing.
Wow this is amazing!!! I have been trying to discover my own style for awhile. I use the force as my hardware DAW and am experimenting with the 0-coast. I just started looking at expanding just don't want to buy things I can't use. I think I can do better via hybrid with MiRack. I just purchased a Bluebox that will allow me to connect my iPad. I'm still in the learning phases with cv. I use midi for most things. I blend hardware synths, vst's... etc I can find that inspires me.
Nice.... like this!!! synth rhythms are sick... I bet that took forever to get to act right. I think I going to stick with midi for awhile. I'm no Jedi on patching... LOL
Just discovered your site and am totally impressed with your music!! I have been doing a starter setup with a 0-coast for awhile and have been putting off the big dive. I think I will be hybrid. I just don't want to get caught up in modules I don't need. I like being able to DIY my own synth sounds. I use tons of effects and like to get creative with them for the most part. Watching you make music is inspiring. Nice to see that there are other people doing more than just straight electronic music.
i am using modular effects in a live reggae/stepper selector setup. it's nice to see someone doing similar music with modular gear. love your other hiphop beats too. cheers ali
Hello Ali. I’m really feeling this vibe you got going on with the modular sounds with the drums. I’m doing something similar but with the poly Beebo with my Akai Force. I was wondering if you could recommend some modules for a rack for just melodies. Thank you for your help. God bless
OH shit man. I am so happy to see this journey happening. From your music, to your album, to this; its exciting and thanks for sharing it. Those sliders are my fav for UX on modules.
A: when you coming to Minneapolis? B: when you kickstarting this beautiful box of tones? Inspiring stuff, and the o scope footage alone is rad as hell! Nice work
