Randomization is the least used tool that everybody should be messing with. Especially with writers block

[@spiralmoment]

Maybe 15 years ago. Today, randomization is as Common as filter tweaks.

[@hellbutterfly1388]

The chicken got me good. I had to rewatch it a few times. It's fascinating, though, hearing how it all works and stuff. It's so nice to learn new things, like music terms and whatnot. Listening to you explain it is wonderful. And incredible music, as per usual. You never cease to amaze me.

I'm not a musician and I don't understand, like half of things you talk about, but I still love when you talk about music. It's just so cool to see someone talk about their passion.

[@danopticon]

Huh. I hope you take this as a compliment: of all the people making modular synthesizer videos, you uniquely seem to be producing genuinely melodic output … nicely done, I enjoy the musicianship in addition to the technological expertise, cheers!! 🙂

sometimes it just strikes me how insane your production level on your videos is. the editing, the creativity, the timing on transitions, the humour, and of course the amazing music. you're an insanely skilled creator and i am endlessly impressed, all the time.

Learn Reaktor then. You can make all those nodules yourself, in the comfort of your own computer! And you only pay once.

[@subjectivecollective]

[@alkali836]

@@subjectivecollective Learn VCV rack, then you don't have to pay for Reaktor! (seriously, I can't recommend this enough)

[@jonwatte4293]

@Walter B Of course a computer can emulate it! It's just that nobody might have decided to do so yet. If nothing else, then you can run a Spice model of the actual components in the module, and out comes a replica that's as perfect as you'd like to spend CPU power on it. Oversample 10x and I challenge anyone to tell the difference. (No oversampling, and I STILL challenge most people to tell a difference once the result sits in a mix.)

[@Deleted11100]

Why wouldn’t you want to get involved with modular?

[@jamesmalpas]

Please make a video explaining in depth how modular synths actually work and precisely how you actually make a song from your huge module board thing!!!

[@iainenfc]

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but a few videos back he spent close to eight minutes on the subject. Look for "The instrument I've secretly worked on for 13 years" > kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfElaKmjN1-oNk
