[@RINGMODULATOR00]

Hi ! for me it's very difficoltous follow you because my schoolastic english dont permit me to understand all you say but I want to send my great admiration and compliments for yous activity in that you put a great energy and creativity. The genre of your music is not really mine but I have always enjoyed your videos. I have seen others from which I understand that you are the builder of all your equipment! Also I am a builder of sinths but yours are absolutely unconventional !. I try to build modules with a nice small panel, the same knobs etc. You draw the panels with a marker, but everything works beautifully! Very unconventional your modular where there is even the puppet that acts as a bell and another module - which I did not understand what it is - with eyes and false teeth! Even a module, probably an overdriver, showed an electronic valve !!. Truly unique! I will follow you in your videos since I will now subscribe to your channel. One last thing: if you were to ask for some schematics of your modules you would be willing to send them to me? Ringmodulator

[@barillamindset3109]

Hey I understood this comment better than a lot that I see from native english speakers. Maybe reach out to him on Twitter, or pledge a small amount on Patreon to have a better chance at him answering your question about schematics. You can imagine with a following this large, he gets a lot of comments and cannot answer most of them sheerly due to the volume. Also, the way I understand it, the false teeth and eyes just move around while the music is going...purely an awesome visual add on.

[@ubiquitousreverser]

Gotta love the #MadScience and hours ploughed into that synth setup and it really has to be more satisfying due to the fact that a massive slice of it was lovingly hand built that makes it all the more precious and enjoyable to engage with! Absolute great setup, mate and I only wish I had the electronics skills to built one myself but I guess I'll just have to stick with computers (boo-hiss) as that's my field of music making and experimentation!
