It's a pretty "modey" system; Batumi, Clouds, Rings, Plaits, and Braids are all very much N-in-1 modules, which means that it's sort of meta-modular. Each patch will involve selecting which instruments I want to use, both by patching and by setting modules' modes.
Lots of fun secrets hidden in these modules, too, like Kamieniec's built-in LFO stage which can just be used as a normal LFO.
@tindall sounds like a fun system. Do you go for a particular genre?
@tendigits thanks! I'm mostly into ambient and drone; I have an EP up at https://daughter-of-eris.bandcamp.com
@tindall excellent! 🎧
@tindall Wait until the day you realize why they made triple resonant filters...
@tindall ooh that's pretty!
@careth Thanks!
@tindall That is very pretty.
@dmoonfire Thank you :3
@tindall i feel like i get a lot of what maths does for people from my stages
they're not comparable apples to apples, but they both have that fun design that rewards creative patching
@gaeel yeah, I really miss my stages...
@tindall i'm currently working on swapping out a bunch of modules, and the stages is definitely staying right where it is, it plays a crucial role in every patch i make
@tindall gorge
@jonbro Thanks!!!
@tindall that looks awesome.
@tindall
Ooh, pretty buttons. 🤩
@tindall looks great!
@tindall modular cabinets are so cool
a constellation of knobs, sliders, switches, and patch points
- 🎒 ✨
@packbat that's such a lovely way to put it, gosh. and like a constellation it's meaningless until you actually connect things!
@tindall That looks incredible!
@tindall Super true! I accidentally got into the overlapping world of DIY synths when I was doing 8bit circuits and running into signal integrity issues. Looking into ways to fix my signals, I stumbled upon a bunch of DIY synth stuff. Being able to match my ears to what I saw on my oscilloscope and was SO critical to me in learning signal processing.
@tindall what kind of things can you do with just those? is there a good super simple summary of shenanigans?
@hillexed well, each one of them can be a sine oscillator, and they can both be AM'd and FM'd at audio rates, so you can make a heck of a complex oscillator !
@tindall oh yes, i also have both a v1 and a v2 ripples and they’re super super fantastic!
@prin I'm so glad to hear that!
@tindall i also have an attenuverter between them (a befaco one) to play them ‘linked’, which is super fun, and i am absolutely gonna rebuild it - or build a new one - someday with a big smooth fancy rheostat knob ^__^
those filters, esp the old one, do just fantastic FM too, i think i use them way more often as creative audio sources than for ‘filtering’
also your rack sounds faboo!! super excited for you!! 💙💙💙
@prin holy shit that's such a good idea! I'm gonna rearrange stuff to do that I think
And, thank you!
Oh, also worth mentioning Ripples! It's my favorite filter of all time, and I'm going to have _both_ v1 and v2. Ripples is a gorgeous synth all by itself - you can self-patch FM, play it like an oscillator, and more - but with two of them and a phase rotator in Kamieniec, I'm going to have tons of fun just building self-playing all-analog patches.
