A 5 minute modular synth performance on the Divkid Output Bus.

Weirdly Ben has made almost exactly the module I need right now, as I'm building a modular mixer in my latest live system, and I need to sum and 'vibe up' the Roland TR-8. My pal Ben ‪@DivKid‬ sent me one for free - so here's me starting to use it! (Video update on this case coming soon!) 🙌

YES MATE!! Banging mini rave. I'm sure channel 5 will be knocking on your door for the body cam series. I'm sure there's an upcoming next series of Police, Camera, Modular Action.

[@mylarmelodies]

Its the niche crossover absolutely nobody wants but I'd totally watch

[@GeorgeLocke]

This thread is just like that scene in Heat where de Niro and Pacino chatty and have coffee.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Amazing rave. In a way it's good to see the pile of modules on the right. This is real life.

[@mylarmelodies]

Haha yes! That’s the temporary discard pile after rebuilding the live case - they’ll get stored and I have maaaany more cases they can find a place in 🤪

[@DivKid]

haha that's absolutely real life, the unorganised stack of stuff.

[@mentataudio]

It's a great idea to be able to pull stuff together, including non modular stuff, without an external mixer. I've used the stereo chain input on my blue lantern mixer for similar, mixing my digitone in with the euro stuff. I think it's euro level though so I feed it with the headphone output and adjust the volume that way.

[@earlgrey2130]

Why are you soooo good?!

[@ydlp7705]

Rave stabs where? Where are they coming from? Can you make an update on your live system as you seem to have been doing for the past year? Cheers mate (: Edit: those 5 minutes sounds awesome, I’d really like to hear this on a nice sound system.

[@mylarmelodies]

You read my mind! Live case update vid coming in next few days

[@effiksmusic]

Hard sync for the Output Boss.

[@DivKid]

haha

[@SoundsMick]

Crunchy! That plucky sound you bring in is great

[@Brumata]

Another great module from Ben and Befaco. As an aside, that 1U Plum Audio Robots is so great. I got one of those recently. It's like the 1U Pam-lite or something.

[@ednasdiscomachine6049]

Ironically, I've built a whole mixer stage [stereo] for my modular using Befaco modules [STMIX/OUT/InAmp]. Although Ben's is compact, I need a level control on each input. However, form factor wise this is a very interesting module. Also, the TR-8S is the best drum machine ever made! Emulations are tighter than the TR-8, and adding samples clinched it. Linndrum samples being a fav. TBH, it's all wildly subjective. :D While I'm at it, I loved your Disting vid.

[@simonsherbourne]

Nice thing and nice choons. Anything that has both small and big headphone outs get a thumbs up from me. (Also enjoying POVCam 😁)

[@ozzy3ml]

excellent. Nice to see a fellow Midronome user too. The next big firmware update will be sweet!

[@softnerdrocks]

What video setup did you use to get this lovely pov?

[@mylarmelodies]

iPhone on a chest mount!

[@GeorgeLocke]

You really prefer the TR8 to the TR8S?

[@mylarmelodies]

To be fair, I haven't owned a TR8S, and I totally would have one. But what I'm saying is that for what you can get a TR8 for, it's an insane value device that is irrationally fun to play. It's an 808/909/707/606/727 in one box with faders, build for absolute immediacy. It's very very good

[@studio48nl]

Almost replacing my current setup. I now have an Golden Master 'insert' in my out chain. 😖 From a STMix to Golden Master to HPO...

[@mylarmelodies]

How do you like Golden Master? I’m getting one shortly!!

[@studio48nl]

@@mylarmelodiesI actually only use it to have an easy quick EQ and some compression, which gives me bit of high and low boost I like. I use it as a 'sweetener' only. I do like it to also have it on my headphones, so for me I miss this 'insert' before the final mix on the output bus.

[@mylarmelodies]

@studio48nl Yeah that’s the only tricky bit of using Golden Master last, is missing the headphone amp. I do have a Bastl Bestie I can use tho!

[@studio48nl]

​​@@mylarmelodies I use the HPO for that (with the GM in between), only 2 HP plus STMix makes it 8hp as well... Oh, and also the end VCA of the Golden Master is nice, to totally silence it all!

[@wax83]

Loving the 'Exterminate' stab

[@trublurider]

nice! Also that pile of modules on the right :D

[@mentataudio]

mmm fresh plaster

[@mylarmelodies]

Actually it’s painted pink!! 😂

[@Winterdagen]

Yes yes yes yes banger of a track

[@wireheadinstruments]

Love it! Module is cool too 😁

[@Lcrymlgy]

Wow, what IS that kick? I've got a TR-8s and I can never make it sound like that. I may be missing a lot of compression or something 😅

[@mylarmelodies]

The Output Bus is sort of compressing and driving it quite significantly - doesn’t sound like that on its own! Good drive always helps (as it does on the original Roland’s!!)

[@mitdemall]

Jo, what is this crate of unused modules?😅 how many modules do you even own?

[@mylarmelodies]

Ha - that’s a pile of modules I’ve been trying and testing in this case before settling on what you see. I have lots!!

[@stefanherzog]

How are you liking the Midronome?

[@mylarmelodies]

After updating to latest firmware, it’s been good

[@stefanherzog]

@@mylarmelodies 👌

[@wishbonebrewery]

Nice indeed.

[@Jimantronic]

Ace

[@jamesbowsher-murray128]

Sounds great m8. And an interesting module too! What’s doing the chords int his case? Doesn’t sound like plaits.

[@mylarmelodies]

They’re samples off the Tiptop Ones! Got a stack of stabs in there, it’s a good time

[@jamesbowsher-murray128]

Aaaaaaaahh! Sounds great.

[@Rupnal24]

How are you synchronising? The Modular to the TR-8

[@mylarmelodies]

Using the Midronome you see at back left!

[@Rupnal24]

Thanks mate

[@real_anxst]

Great stuff!

[@Calverhall]

bang ging!

[@jhonnycubero21]

Nice jam! If you consider the TR-8 the best drum machine Roland ever made, in what aspect does it beat the TR-8s?

[@mylarmelodies]

To be fair I’ve never owned a TR8S (and it’s all personal) so take such inflammatory statements with a pinch of salt - but it’s all about immediacy. Having 808/909/707/606/727 all in one box with faders is bonkers IMHO.

[@mrkeeny]

It’s the greenest drum machine ever made. Ghastly.

[@mylarmelodies]

Appearances can be deceiving!

[@hudu]

@@mrkeeny Bit of masking tape and a rattle can takes care of that right quick. Or just loads of stickers like our boy here.

[@mylarmelodies]

You can even desolder all the green LEDs and replace them with orange, and buy an 808 stylee Lexan overlay - it’ll sound immediately better of course
