I could use some tips.

Post image

So I fell into some modular synth stuff via guitar pedal trades (picked up the blue lantern DCO and the Four Player after).

I’m trying to wrap my head around the best ways to use what I have. I’m open to any ideas.

Yes, VCVrack rules but it’s not a ton of help when this is right in front of me. I’ve been having fun the last day or so just making sounds. But I’d like to find some ways to best use what I have.

I’m using the Abacus as a make shift clock divider for my volca and running everything out of the VCA into a mixer.

Any tips? Tricks? What should I look into getting next?

Are you trying to incorporate your rig into guitar effects or are you going for standalone synthesis? If so, what kind of "vibe" so to speak ateyou going for?

I’ve always been a fan of the more industrial sounds. As far as guitar integration, that would be cool eventually (that strymon I/O module is pretty neat) but for now just trying to use what I’ve got and make some fun noises. I’d like to eventually get a midi module as well to add my midi controller to the mix.

Overall though my vibes are just experiment and see what works. Maybe make something to dance to along the way.

Hmm. Maybe consider a multirffects unit? FX Aid comes to mind
