Procrastination over - here's the final-form explanation of what was in the Jamuary Modular (more or less...it evolved over the month.)
Now to get all the rest of the studio back into shape. :)

Someone needs to make modules for the big and tall community, similar to clothing. Thanks for sharing. Have lots of fun!

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Will do…see you around wabbit!

@BenMartinBox 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. Modular for me, only in the box. I'm messing around (just for fun) with Cardinal Virtual modular synthesizer plugin.

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Cardinal is very nice…I have local pals who really push it. :)

@amphonix_blue 7 месяцев назад

Great video insight into your modular setup. I see the multiple Braids modules and the dual Metropolix units. It looks smaller than I imagined but it seems a very efficient setup. I guess it's the result of much refinement. Many thanks for the insight. Your thinking behind the setup was very interesting.

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

I have a need for a certain level of precision in the modules and when I find it I tend to repeat it. So there are duplicates across the voices.

@robmlisanti 7 месяцев назад

Very cool Luke!! I enjoy your lessons, even though I probably would never own one of these ( Just dont have the room) it'sa nice to know how it works!

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Currently measuring how much amperage the studios draws. ;)

@ivanrossi2051 7 месяцев назад

You might want to consider replacing wifi with cabled network for extra stability and reduced latency. Stuff is close, it should not be a nuisance. My 0.02

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion! I do use a cabled network for audio runs. For simple link protocol Wi-Fi is fine and stability is inherently handled in link. Everything is pretty autonomous and just synchronizes/resynchronizes transparently if there are network jitters or drops, although I do have a dedicated network in the house that is not connected to the Internet, nor shared with anything other than musical instruments. If I run into trouble or change it in the future, I’ll be sure to let everyone know. Thanks for sharing!

@michael7018 7 месяцев назад

Another walkthrough of your setup yawn! 🥱

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

The setup changes from time to time. Hence the updates.

@sergoz123 7 месяцев назад

What kind of power supply do you use on your case?

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Two TipTop Zeus power busses from about 10 years ago. They still make the Zeus bus line, but I think it's changed a lot (probably for the better.) The Blue LED light from inside the case are the power rail indicators from the Zeus busses. :)

@maltas22 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for showing us Luke!

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

You bet!

@synkrotron 7 месяцев назад

thanks for the walk through, Luke 🙂👍

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Sure thing Andy. See you in the morning.

@mycase04 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for that survey. You promised to do that and i was waiting and looking forward for it 🙂 I like the clear and distinct structure and orientation towards a special purpose, you just create your own kind of instrument from it and thats according to what you told us about it during the live streams. For me as a beginner this concentration is quite helpful because it blends out much of the other more sound-synthesis related stuff which otherwise is a bit confusing for me in its whole complexity. (Which seems to be a general attribute, also of your other tutorial-vids too and its good for better understanding) 👍

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Thanks @mycase04 , I suspect other than the Sunday streams the modular will play a lesser role for a bit.

@mycase04 7 месяцев назад

@@synthseekerThats fine, i bet as a collector you still have a lot of other interesting devices and stuff that have to be moved from time to time 😃

@SuperPedalhead 7 месяцев назад

Nice setup. You might dig the Five12 Vector berlin school sequencer.

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

lol I’ve been a Numerology user for YEARS. :) Love Five12!

@SuperPedalhead 6 месяцев назад

@@synthseekerRight, the Vector is basically a hardware numerology with all the sub sequencers and probability options. Really well suited for Berlin school. Really dig your content btw.

@rayderrich 7 месяцев назад

I love the spacing and close to symmetry layout of your rack, not to mention the very neat cables-behind-the-modules trick. Everything looks and sounds clean. I noticed a few mostly utility items that I forgot to include so the shopping list must grow. Thanks Luke!

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Your system is making me want another case. lol! Taiga forever!

@rayderrich 7 месяцев назад

Let's bring each other to bankruptcy and have a laugh about it :)

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Lol, ok…you first! ;)

@runningin533 7 месяцев назад

Hi Luke That's beauty of eurorack its whatever you want it to be.🙂

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

My son and I made the enclosure as a father/son project. Paint Job is his. :)

@runningin533 7 месяцев назад

@@synthseeker best bit🙂

@willdhaggard 7 месяцев назад

Initially, I was like--wait a minute: why do those Braids not look like what I find in Cardinal and miRack? And then I remembered Luke had an earlier video about how he purchased these modules partly because they were of less hp than the classic incarnation of Braids.

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

Those a Micro-braids SE (uBraids SE) from Talldog Electronics. I cannot say enough good things about them. :)

@speed0 7 месяцев назад

Out of curiosity, if you have such big hands and have been spacing modules out why would you not get the full sized modules/clones?

@synthseeker 7 месяцев назад

@speed0 - storage space. My wife would kill me if I went to a 5U system. :)

@fusionistaaaa 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the clear explanation and walkthrough. Shocked @12:00 how "simple" the sound is without all the effects!

@synthseeker 6 месяцев назад

A little delay and reverb go a long way. :)

@fusionistaaaa 6 месяцев назад

Exactly@@synthseeker Don't take this in the wrong way, but it convinced me not to go modular. May i ask you what is the thing you love about it, considering the cost, the setup time and the fact some sounds are replicable through other options? I am genuinely interested, not trying to argue.

@synthseeker 6 месяцев назад

I love ALL synthesis approaches…modular is just my most recent direction. It’s fun but hardly my favorite approach. At the end of the day I gravitate towards hardware keyboard-synths…but modular is as different feel. I love the flexibility, I love the exploratory behavior. No synthesis method is unique and you can always build any sound in other ways.
