It’d be cool if the game actually used dynamic synth settings and sounds depending game location. Hehe. I’ve got an idea for what you might bring as an Indie Dev to set yourself apart, which is what you need to make it these days. Everyone’s got a Podcast, and a GameMaker Zelda-Like.

One thing is for sure. When Rob Scallon walks into your studio, you know your instruments are going to make new and interesting sounds that you've never heard them make before.

[@nicklancaster3190]

Split the signal! One path goes to Rob's normal setup, you get that good "normal" guitar tone. The second path runs though Andrew's rig, and you get that good "synthesized" guitar tone. Then you have it mixed and produce a wicked track!

I know that Klayton (Celldweller/Circle of Dust/Scandroid) and Nine Inch Nails use their modular synth setups to also manipulate their guitars (and other instruments), and they tend to blend that with more standard guitar effects as well. I'm sure many others do in the electro/industrial scene, but beyond that, a video like this is really great for presenting the potential for new ideas, sound design, and just how wide the palette of modern music can be. Good stuff, guys!

[@BeTheAeroplane]

Glad someone brought this up. I was definitely hearing some Celldweller in this patch!

[@Eichro]

David Maxim Micic uses VCV Rack. Not sure if he uses his guitar with it, but I'd bet so.

[@VikramShankarMusic]

Yeah, there's a super cool video of Klayton going through his 2014 studio and he plugs his guitar into the modular, mainly doing some random modulated filter stuff. It inspired me to rack up my old Axe-Fx by my modular which has been endless fun. :)
