Watching you experiment, I'm thinking the 'conventional' Buchla/West Coast "sound" is actually a pretty narrow path through the enormous variability this module can put out. It's also interesting, to me, to see how much more accessible it seems to be -- at least to this newbee -- when you plunk it down in a euro rack context and hook it up to the usual suspects in order to get to something approaching usable. The Buchla terminology with its numbers heavy nomenclature is really a leap and maybe an arbitrary one. A question: after 1-1/2 years, are you still enamoured and do you still find yourself patching in a eurorack style; or have you moved into a different space? One of the challenges seems to be managing the synchronization of the timbres given how wild and woolly they can become, hanging out all over the place over the rhythm and tempo. Thanks again.
Excellent insights and critical thinking! Besides, I'll never own a Buchla, so it's good to ascertain the modular approach is the end of the line in synthesis and composition.
I'm now a big fan of the HY-SEQ collection set too, it's similar to the one featured here, but with a number of styles, from 303, doepfer, and more probability based. Worth checking out.
I've found it by now, but I'm amazed Softube is not exploiting the User Platform possibilities like Native Instruments do with their Reaktor User Platform. Just found a facebook page for sharing presets ... Softube really needs a proper preset manager (also for Heartbeat and other VST's).
Softube Modular is a CPU hog, I have an i7 3770K 3.7ghz, 10GB ram an cannot use it. Such a pitty, try the demo first. so VCV or Voltage Modular work fine on my system
