How do you determine which of the hundreds of random knobs to turn next?

Eventually the modular will contain ten oscillators, eek, and spill over into a second cabinet.
Napoleon time. ;-) |

Why go to all this trouble ?
Well. Here's the modular playing a single note through six oscillators. It's playing 11 simultaneous waveforms, and can play eighteen at once. There are six oscillators here, two filters, three low frequency oscillators, a phaser, two mixers, two multiples, a MIDI interface and CV splitter, an echo and an amplifier. There's plenty more which could be plugged in. Pretty epic. Excuse the amount of leads, it doesn't do much without them. ;-) https://soundcloud.com/brotherhoodofthemachine/dronewav  Edited by Davesax1965 - December 21 2016 at 09:31 |

Few more things happening here.
I've build a shed load more modules. Chaos generators, timbre generators, flangers......I'm also working on a long track which sounds very Tangerine Dream like. This is the initial bassline - solo instruments to add.
https://soundcloud.com/brotherhoodofthemachine/resonance-cascade-start Also. I got hold of an early 1960's audio generator, the exact type used by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Expect utter sonic chaos in the form of Dik Mik / Del Dettmar / early Hawkwind as I plug it up to god knows how many electronic devices. Here's a sample using a test tone from the modular and the modules I'm going to use, overlaid onto some music. Cover your ears and mind. ;-) https://soundcloud.com/brotherhoodofthemachine/audiogen |

I'd just build a timbre generator based on his designs.
Whilst he didn't do much as compared to Bob Moog, his development of earlier synths, like Peter Zinovieff, can't be understated. |

Don Buchla died on September 14 2016, I figured this was the most appropriate place to announce this. I believe his influence on music is greatly unappreciated. I'm still relatively new to the world of synthesizers, but his impact on me has, and continues to be a major part of the musician I am today.

More music featuring the modular. ;-)
This is a free track on the band website. Didn't take much work. The lead is a heavily processed Waldorf Streichfett string synth. The modular provides the main loop, accompanied by a Moog Minitaur, Dreadbox Hades and Erebus, and a Korg MS 20 rounds it off. https://brotherhoodofthemachine.bandcamp.com/track/free-track-imaginary-landscape Update, cancelled, it's going on an album instead. ;-) Edited by Davesax1965 - September 28 2016 at 09:36 |

The modular synth meets the Minitaur. This is live.

Aaaaand here's the sequencer rack in action. Freely downloadable track, by the way.
Update, track removed, it's going on an album. Edited by Davesax1965 - September 28 2016 at 09:40 |

And here's the rack unit working - very simple sequence.....

And the rack is coming along nicely.......
 This is the twin sequencer rack. The modular is going to be moved to another 14U rack and there's going to be yet another rack with a mixer built into it. This makes transportation to gigs and jam sessions.... easier. Still a nightmare, though.

Hi Replayer - good news about the EWI !!! ;-)
Yep, we bought a few more synths. This is my brothers' modest selection.... ;-) I think a live gig is becoming inevitable. If we can work out a way to transport all this. ;-)  |

Whoa, there's a lot more gear since I last visited the thread! The modules and their cases look terrific. Looks like you're all set up for hours upon hours of psychedelic fun.
On the subject of saxes, my friend did appreciate the Akai EWI controller and didn't find it too counter-intuitive to adapt to contacts' lack of mechanical feedback. I tried to convince him to use it together with the Minimogue VST ;) |
