Minimalist Modular Synth // Is that a thing? 

hahaha!

Hell yea! going to check out your channel now :)

Thanks Albin! I appreciate it!

heard great things of this mod

How did you even notice that....that's a fucken crazy easter egg

Wow, you and 30 other people are easily with very minor things. Putting a text at a specific time is a basic low-level editing skill **facepalm**

@@whiterottenrabbit you don't get it, the thing is that Ricky put the the 1353$ mark at 13:53

haha! thank you, i appreciate it!

Size doesn’t matter if you know what you’re doing! 😉😜

Small peen gang

@@c_routon Naaaaaaaah lol.

Of course! Toni, I rarely use them nowadays. Except for the random funky bass line that I find difficult to think of on my own haha.

Glad to help Brian! I apologize to your wallet ahead of time haha

Enrique Martinez Music no worries, bro. My wallet has been in a compromised star since KnobCon 🤣

Thank you!

I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me

@Mason Andres instablaster ;)

That’s it! It’s so tricky to understand and explain. I met up with the guy from ALM a while back and he explained it to me and it made perfect sense but I wasn’t able to explain it after that. Lol

You should start with some second hand stuff first then, see if it fits your needs then. Most second hand stuff comes at almost 50%-30% cheaper and when taken well care off will last you a life time as well. Most noodlers take good care of their syths so, there's that...So you don't start off immediately breaking the bank..when the bug really gets you, start saving up and get the real stuff. But first make a plan what kind of synth you want to build. An ambient machine, a drone, a techno build or just a really expressive synth...Hope you enjoy the journey...

@@Lalaland.001 thank you, this really helped

@@JamonCam You are more then welcome, fam. We are all part fo this weird niche group who likes to noodle around because, it's fun and inspiring. I started my journey about 5 years ago. And was just like you, that stuff is fricking expensive. But turns out the second hand market helped me jumpstart it. My first rig I build part by part, and started off with about a $100 per month sometimes per 2 months. It took me about a year to have a really solid and nice rig. I then started to do some diy stuff, thanks to lookmomnocomputer here on youtube and synthdiyguy of course, which also saved me a lot of cash and it made me realize that some stuff is way overpriced and a lot simpler then I thought...Not all of it, of course. I'm not an expert by no stretch of the imagination, but I know how to handle a voltmeter and a soldering iron, which is pretty much all you need if ou decide to try your hands at diy builds. I also recommend you join the synthbuilder diy group on FB and muffwiggler those are really cool people who are likeminded and super helpful. Any question asked over there wil get answered within a day MW is also a great source for any information regarding patching and layout. And then of course there is modular grid which allows you to build your dream synth and allows you to actually visualize and see the completed synth, how much it would cost new and it's power consumption. Allows you to dream with eyes wide open ;) If you have any questions feel free to ask I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can, Have fun on your journey...

Buy a crave !

Bring money. The modular bunny likes money.

Well the voltage block and the varigate are some really powerful modules especially paired with the BIA.

right right! that's what it was, thanks for clarifying Bram!

I kind of wanted to mak an O-Coast inspired synth but I think I’ll try a percussion synth next

Press shift an octave up!

@@RickyTinez Thanks! I should probably read the manual more ;)

This is the erica synths Pico Case!

My pleasure!

Yeah thanks for letting us crave all this expensive gear... 😛

Mind blowing

Honestly you can’t beat the tip-top happy ending kit. Just not really a fully enclosed case

Enrique Martinez Music I actually bought the tip-top rails and Z-ears with their uZeus power module. And I’m currently breadboarding my first couple of modules 🙂

The pics case has a power supply that all the modules plug into

@@RickyTinez Oh, easier than I thought haha ;)

It doesn't have to be, if you take a look at Ladik or Doepfer. You can save a bit of cash if you can solder, Bastl's kits are great to make. The new Cre8audio Nifty case looks well nifty and is around $250, it's a great place to start. Couple it with something like a behringer crave, or pricier but ultimately worth it - an 0 Coast and you've got a solid instrument. The problem with running a small rig is that maxing out functions per module in a small footprint starts to hike the cost up a bit.

@@mrsulcus674 Thank you for your insight/ information. I have just recently got into synths, and already purchased several items, Make Noise O Coast is my first real Eurorack module. Still no Eurorack rack or case. But have several desktop/ semi modular pieces, and am really just getting to know, getting to understand the interplay of the components of synths... But, I would rate myself an eager beginner, kindergarden level of knowledge, but unabashedly aware of the addiction that this is creating.One question for you, or anyone caring to give good knowledge or experienced advice concerning patch cables... What cables would you buy again, and which cables would you say to steer clear of due to overall performance...

@@tommyg5095 that's an interesting question. I've not had any that are totally rubbish quality wise. I also haven't gone for any particular brand over another, and have probably gone for the cheapest options. I have some right angled cables in very short and quite long lengths that I use in my live system because they fit in with the case closed. They are things that I don't unpatch during the set. I also have some very long and distinctive (black and gold braided) cables that are my live patching options. I know I can change these on the fly and it won't kill the music. That's just my system. I find that short ones connecting modules that generally work in pairs (such as Grids to Ladik's Drumboy) keep things less cluttered, but having long ones available makes unusual decisions possible. Same thing applies to your semi modular synths.

@@tommyg5095 some people apply a colour coding theme to their cables. A friend of mine prefers to use only two colours as an aesthetic thing, and it's common to find some stick to a colour per length or colour per function (audio in red, triggers in green, pitch in yellow etc). These are good in principle but expensive in practice imo.

@@mrsulcus674 Thanks for your input... Right angle for permanent connections inside of closed case is good info. Less clutter with shortest possible connection is good info. Good to hear that there really arent any bad cable manufacturers. Thanks.

Yeah the external power thing does bug me actually. It’s another thing I need to take into consideration also clogging up a power strip. But it is a really good product. For simple solution and a stationary set up like in the studio it’s hard to beat
