You are correct. There are 3 alter modules which each have 7 stereo effects.

Thanks for commenting, I believe it is available free on my Bandcamp page. It’s in the album collected. It’s mislabeled with hash tags for some reason, but the track is called the veil between two worlds. Enjoy!

@@SummaRiot thanks a lot man. i really appreciate it

tomorrow mine arrives!

@@cityz3n ..... have fun 🎼

Thanks for your comment. I’m sorry to hear about your drumscape. To me it doesn’t sound as if it’s functioning correctly. You could see if the seller will return it & if not you can try get hold of Folktek to fix it. Good luck & let me know how it works out.

That was my guess as well, I haven’t seen and official documentation of it. It was hand made my maneco labs in Uruguay

@@SummaRiot Found the answer by the manufacturer himself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l52YhX6qptWhfbM it's 24 HP (he's answering the question below in the comments)

That’s awesome, thank you. Now I have to reorganize my modular grid lol

Cheer! That’s the grone drone dark machine module I just picked up.

Summa Riot ......amazing......I'm actually waiting for an other weird drone machine/theremin ( homemade ) from u.s. 🎼

Thanks for the comment! They do pop up on reverb a couple of tiles a year. I have 2 now and I use them for basic chords and ambient pads. They track pitch very well.

Thank you, this is one of my favourite pieces using the resonant garden

@@SummaRiot amazing. Your welcome very much is my favorite one you uploaded using it . The feeling is happy and fulfilled after listening and watching.

lol cheers! Nice to meet you!

Lol thanks! There’s a ton more content over on my instagram f you’d likely to see more. @summa_riot_music

Thank you!

Thank you!

Both Matter 1 & 2 are a lot of fun and surprisingly very different considering they have the same sound circuits

@@SummaRiot thanks! How predictable do you find it (matter 2) in terms of knowing more or less what happens when you put a pin at a certain location?

Oh Matter 2 is unpredictable, it’s not just the pin placement, but what CV you trigger it with. Lots and lots of variables

@@SummaRiot sounds like my kind of module 😎

got a matter ii today and can see it will take time to really get used to this

Hope you figured out the troubles you were having. Let me know if you would ever want to sell👍 cheers

@@willoughbyjohnson4036 Yeah I figured it out. I’ll probably hang onto it for now. Especially since they’re discontinued, but I’ll let you know if i change my mind.

Thanks for your comment. The basic concept is that the pins access the individual circuits of sounds. Matter 1 used cables to do this, the new matrix is more robust & easier to patch. 3x CV channels, with 2 Matrix per channel. The V+ control mixes between the 2 matrix. The part to understand is that they are not 3 separate voices, all of the matrix interact with each other to create complex patches. I hope this kind of helps, please feel free to ask any follow up questions

@@SummaRiot It helps a little, but when you insert a pin into the matrix, what exactly does each hole do? When you insert the pin, are you "connecting" two things together, as you would be when you use jumpers on the Matter 1? What's being connected?

The pins are direct access to the sounds, but there is no apparent logic to which hole makes what sound, because each pin affects the overall output of sounds. It’s very experimental. You could spend 2 hours patching pins and get garbage and then add or remove a pin and get musical gold

Thank you so much, I do have a plan to release this at some point. If you like this there is a playlist on my channel called Mind Over Matter that you may also like.

Summa Riot Most excellent! Going to have a listen now. I am very intrigued by the Folktek gear and your use of it is some of the finest I’ve heard. I have a Mescaline coming in a couple of weeks and I am delighted for the inspiration your work provides! I shall look forward to hearing more!

It’s nice to hear you are inspired by my work. The whole concept of mind over matter was a quick set of recordings using only Mescaline, as a way of learning how to use it, so I think you’ll find it most enjoyable. My goal with folktek has always been to coax melody out of them and mix that beauty with the harsher soundscapes that Folteks work lends themselves to.

Summa Riot Indeed! My approach is going to be very similar. The unpredictability of Mescaline combined with my love of more modal synthesis ought to produce some very interesting results. I may have questions for you once the Mescaline arrives. I have to admit I’m a bit afraid of it! 😊

Thank you! I’d had the idea of tuning forks years before I got a garden, the results are quite pleasing. As far as the Drumscape goes, it’s pretty unruly. My favourite thing to do with it is to create feedback patches with the delay and run it through Alter 2. Hope this helps.

@@SummaRiot Thanks for the info. It definitely helps. Cheers

Thank you!

Thank you! If I remember correctly the answer is yes, however good luck trying to get it to stay in any usable pitches. Folktek do have 2 dedicated Oscillators in the works if you are looking to hook a keyboard up to something.

Yup. I'd prefer Matter over any dedicated oscillator because of its unique sound and its patching capabilities: two or three Matters and an east-coast dynamics section would make an interesting synth, to me. So: no pins and three identical CVs in v+ should make a pitched drone. I hope ASAP to have chance to try this idea. Can only imagine what it's like to destroy a melody while patching (or cross-patching! Jeez...) the matrices!

Thanks for commenting! I love how frustrating they can be Sometimes & then you plug one more cable in and get pure musical gold.

@@SummaRiot Right!? It's always rewarding everytime I sit down at it.

this is beautiful btw

Thank you! You’ll probably see from my channel that I have a small folktek obsession lol

That’s how many I received with the module. You can buy them super cheap on amazon, just check the specifications on Folkteks website

Thank you! That’s very kind of you to say. My guess is it shows up low on search list as to the low plays and likes.

Cheers! I had fun with this one.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, thanks for commenting!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks, it took me a couple of days to tame BIA, but I’m getting the hang of it!

@@SummaRiot Yeah, their stuff seems a bit different, really dig the sounds of their modules. I must look into getting something from them sooner than later! Cheers!

Yeah the Canadian price point has always seemed a little high to me, but I’m glad I picked BIA up, Manis iteritas willl be next I think.

Thank you! I completely agree with you, It’s probably my favourite module and gets used on almost everything!

I was kind of shying away from getting a mescaline because i had the matter 2. They share some circuits. But hearing this made me reconsider. They make a strange and awesome pair.

Yes the circuitry is very similar in Matter I, II and Mescaline, but there is absolutely a place for all 3 to work harmoniously together.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Welcome I am in a band myself so we are looking to create some truly bizzare stuff!

Well you cannot go wrong with folktek for soundscapes

Does the Resonant Garden interact with Eurorack via CV? My misic genius behind the band sounds is curious about that.

Well it’s basically 3 Alter modules, so yes some of the parameters can be CV controlled. The delays can’t be clocked unfortunately. But it’s a very unique instrument and great for experimentation
