Bastl Instruments Dark Matter & Waver feedback

Today we will be having a closer look at ‪@bastlinstruments‬ Dark Matter & Waver and dive deep into the world of envelope followers by feeding some audio into the input of Dark Matter.
A little crazy. Untamed. Evocative, deep & kind of awful. And don't forget, totally beautiful.
Dark Matter is a high energy sound processor and signal generator that unleashes the crazy raw power of audio feedback into your eurorack system. In this video it teams up with Bastl Instrument's Pizza, the compact digital oscillator with powerful wave shaping applied to FM synthesis & Waver, a fully analog, wave folding mixer and signal disruptor inspired by experimental mixing techniques and mind-melting drones.
This is the first video I'll be doing on this channel and I'm planning to do a lot more, there is lots to learn about content creation but it was fun to make this video. I hope you enjoy too!

Such a good demonstration! 🤯

[@synthesizernz]

Thanks team, appreciate the positive comments!

[@bcomnes1]

Pretty subtle, DarkMatter can be way more rude than that, push those sliders !!!

[@synthesizernz]

Sure can, too afraid🤣 it can be absolutely brutal

[@boydw1]

@@synthesizernz TBH, being subtle makes for a nice performance, but not a great demonstration. Kinda need to be a bit more dramatic with each function individually at first to give a feel for the range each control is capable of, then put it in a more subtle performance context.

Awesome vid! Very pro!

Is it wrong that I just liked the looks of the modules? Nice thumb nail... guess that's why I'm here. :)

[@synthesizernz]

They look gorgeous so definitely not a bad thing ☺️❤️

[@synthesizernz]

Plenty going on if you listen carefully 😉
