Obviously, this video is about the new Godspeed V2. However, it's a simple 6 HP mono VCO with a few nice tricks, and not that different from the V1.
It can be explained in a minute or two, but we'll be missing the smaller picture.
For this video I wanted to feature Godspeed in a 'tiny case adventure', where my tiny case would be 60 HP. I'd say anything smaller is microscopic.
The Endorphin.es 6 HP line offers great starting points for building a mini-synth, especially when you turn it into a tiny haunted house with the awesome Ghost. Sure, the Ghost takes a lot of valuable space, but it's an all-in-one powerhouse and it's impossible to make a tiny Shuttle with separate delay, reverb, distortion, compression, bitcrushing and filtering. It will not fit. Like it or not, the Ghost is a masterpiece and one of my top 10 modules (chech the latest firmware too).
This also made me realize I was still clueless about TZFM. Then I needed to find a way to explain it to you! It's way more simple than the hype suggests.
I have the luxury to use both my old and new Godspeeds and build a complex 12 HP VCO. If you get the urge to buy two, don't. They'll sum up to $600 which can get you furthrrrrr with a 259 style VCO. Instead, keep it tiny and add a cheap 4HP Airstreamer 4 (or expensive Instruo Cnoc) which can also do 1V/OCT and double as a modulating VCO. But most important, don't buy anything unless your absolutely sure it serves the (modular) music you love most. Don't end up with a tiny case and 101 modules.
Endorphin.es sneaked in a free 1U autopilot (even though I have the 3U and GodSpeed doesn't need it), so there's a small 'commercial break'. I consider Endorphin.es close modular friends so this video is inevitably a bit biased.
This was another reason to make a more general tiny case video that just 'happens' to contain a lot of Endorphin.es modules and sum up to a very powerful synth.
However, your personal journey starts at ModularGrid.
Have a safe and prosperous trip.
