When you talk about the 'Signal Processor' I think you are confusing offset with phase. Phase adjustments do what you describe and shift the relative phase left or right by delaying one or more signals.This can have obvious frequency dependant results (Phase shifters). An 'offset' applies to the balance around the common or zero voltage, making an AC signal peak more negative/positive. When talking about offsets in opamps, the input offset will determine what the output voltage will be before any signal is applied. That is an envy inspiring setup, and the room itself is very nice looking. Thanks for the video.

Are most of the modules custom made? I only ask because they’re similar in aesthetic despite the different suppliers. It’s a beautiful wall with an amazing workflow, by the way.
@JohnLRice3 жыл бұрын
I believe most, if not all, of the modules Tom had were stock items. Having a consistent look has sort of been one of the main "feature" of the 5U modular formats, where in this case the design esthetic of the original Moog modules from the later 1960's has been in most cases somewhat closely to exactly followed by most of the various manufacturers.
@scopsmusicproductionandcom39263 жыл бұрын
@@JohnLRice thanks! Yea, seems to be the case. I think there would be more differentiation if it were a bigger market I guess. Interesting how the Eurorack didn’t go with the Moog aesthetic but the 5U did.
@JohnLRice3 жыл бұрын
@@scopsmusicproductionandcom3926 Yeah, it's an interesting history. Back in the early days of modular synths (1960's and 1970's) each manufacturer like Moog, Buchla, ARP, Polyfusion, PAiA, Aries, Roland, etc, etc did their own thing and modules from one weren't compatible with any of the others. Then in the mid 1990's Doepfer and Analogue Systems came on the scene with modules that started the Eurorack craze as both could fit into the same case. And in the the later 1990's three large format modular manufacturers appeared, Modcan with the A series (a little taller and narrower than Moog), Synth Tech with the MOTM line (5U height like Moog but narrower), and Synthesizers.com with their similar Moog look (5U height like Moog and same widths but power supply connections were different, power supply voltage were different, and audio levels were different so compatibility with Moog systems wasn't really there). Modcan A, MOTM, and DotCom all ran on +-15v but used different power connectors and since panel sizes were different, trying to get them to work together wasn't something many were up for. Meanwhile more and more new eurorack manufacturers sprang up and the format gained momentum, while the large format fans remained somewhat split. The DotCom version of Moog style eventually won out, partially because of lower cost than Modcan A and MOTM, partially because DotCom was the most efficient at production and order fulfilment, and partially be Paul at Synth Tech gave up on the MOTM line and switched to eurorack, and partially because Bruce at Modcan, (who had launched the new B series which used panel sizes compatible with MOTM) , unfortunately suffered a serious health crisis and ceased production. OK, I'm all rambled out! Time for bed! ;-)

That will be very cool! I remember following piano lessons in Waddinxveen when a wonderful machine came along. I think it was one of the first Mini Moogs. Everybody around was kind of confused. Trying to get the sound of a helicopter flying by was the most impressive thing they could get out of it. Lots of switching colored cables around, without much music potential. Fast forward to having lots of VST's under my finger tips, I am still grasping the basics of how synthesized sounds are actually conceived. I was kind of happy that old skool cable swapping and knob twiddling was some thing of the past. But now serious musicians and composers are bringing that analogue way of creating unique sounds back. I really struggle with this one thing: does the listener (or in this case, the viewer of the movie) really get something extra special from the fact that the sound is actually created from the bottom up. Where is the line where nerds and geeks are throwing their hands in the air.. and the rest of the world feeling "this is cool", or maybe even "I think the long legged blonde might be in trouble". Ever since that Mini Moog I wanted to create music with multi colored cables. Since 4 or 5 years I discovered my laptop covers most of that.. But not just, well, what you show in this episode, I suppose. But what is the magic touch, after everybody and their uncle has programmed VST's that emulate that hardware? And will the casual music lover, movie viewer, concert attender, actually know?

@JohnLRice7 жыл бұрын
While these walls look enormous, the power consumption isn't in relative terms. My "big wall of modular" is small compared to Tom's, maybe 2/5 the size, and it uses about 275 watts. So a very rough guesstimate might put Tom's wall at 700 watts? It may even be less than that since I may have a higher power supply to module ratio than Tom due to the way my system is set up (mines all in road cases and I have a separate power supply in each case) And when taking pictures or videos to show off to people, of course we are going to switch it all on! ;-) Typically my modular is off unless I'm actively using it.

I'm new to modular synths, how much would a basic module usually cost? How much is a setup like Junkie's one?
@JohnLRice7 жыл бұрын
Hi, cost per module can vary a lot depending on a lot of factors like circuit and interface complexity, parts quality, how it's assembled, where in the world it is made, and how many can be potentially sold etc. If you are asking about the 5U format modules as Tom is showing in this video, there are some module just under $100 (like the multiples) to others that are well over $1000 (like the fancier sequencers). In general though, off the top of my head an average cost for most modules is probably between $200 to $400? Take a look at the www.muffwiggler.com/forum/ for endless information on modulars! Check out the sub section titled "5U Format Modules" for the most information on the modules Tom presented here. And check out www.modulargrid.net/ for a fun and easy way to plan and arrange your system and get an estimate of how much it will cost. And . . you probably don't want to know how much Tom's setup is worth!!! lol ;-)
@SecessionStudios7 жыл бұрын
I'd recommend starting with Eurorack format. They range from $50-800. The community is huge and full of helpful people. Buying a small used rack on ebay or craigslist is a good way to start. Developers like Make Noise, 4MS, Intellijel, Mutable Instruments, Erica Synths, ect make really awesome and intuitive modules.
@JohnLRice7 жыл бұрын
Actually, eurorack modules range from $50 to over $2000! ;-) I don't think one system is necessarily more or less expensive than the other anymore. Eurorack is certainly the most popular and the number of eurorack users and manufacturers totally dwarfs all other formats combined though! :-)
