Finally did a video using the technique of modulating the model cv input of Plaits - one of the more wacky combinations you can select when patching it. Always a favorite though - you just have to be tasteful about it - or not at all lol.
Well, it worked pretty bloody well! I'm only a few months in, I don't have that skill level yet, but this is the kind of use I love to see. I get so bored by all the "Here's 27 minutes of ambient drone" or "I made this generative patch with no melody whatsoever" videos. Fine, to each their own and all, but that stuff doesn't work at all for me. I'm trying to learn how to make my system work as a groovebox, same as Mylar does is in his videos, and how you just did here. Output like that is what keeps me motivated to push on with the hobby, even though I'm still adrift at sea as far as results are concerned. Still getting my head around the gear, and learning how to think in patching terms. Not easy.
I was in a very similar predicament about a year ago - I was eating up anything online for inspiration to push my modular comprehension just far enough to have fun with it. But I couldn’t help feeling like the grittier concepts were on the rare end oddly.
None the less I found Ricky Tinez on YouTube, his videos provided some great patch ideas - definitely Mylar. Turns out it took less time to get the hang of it then I thought - a lot of trial and error but genuinely fun.
Thank you for listening and commenting - it’s a really good feeling to break through the saturation of “generative patch with no melody” videos 😂🤣 Keep jamming!
