It was a cool experiment but usually kinda hard to get very usable sounds, I'm guessing having similar core oscillators and filter flavors helps stuff gel a little better. So many nice sounds here.

I definitely had it slightly out of tune at certain moments, can't be sure whether that was it needing a tune (there's a routine you can run to autotune each Telepathy) or user error (you can freely tune the oscs with the 'Hz' page, so it's possible to knock each one out by degrees if you wish, plus you can apply modulation to pitch), as I do like that woozy slightly detuned aphex vibe.

It’s defo not like using a trad poly (but then it isn’t one!) but FWIW it wasn’t too hard to learn the structure and then have a good idea how to bang thru and edit it.

Your last DEMO is supeeeer dope, and you should release an album with those “Aphexy kind if vibe” / “early techy Detroit” the only thing i don’t like are the graphics of the faceplate, they don’t make justice to the quality sound of the machine (all dreadboxes look a bit ugly), anyway i will buy one it is the best value for the money in the market right now please more demos of you making music with this baby

The point of modular is that you can custom create your own dream synth/sampler/granular mangler/MultiFX/MIDI controller/etc. and a mix of everything inbetween! All with every possible feature you could imagine-and MORE-in exactly the layout you want. But even more importantly; the PATCHING is modular as well! So you can run anything you want through anything else, simultaneously, unlike a standard hardwired synth where you can only run an Osc through a specific chain with no ability to change it... And modular has full-Analog/DSP/hybrid forms of everything, as well as module-formatted versions of all the most famous synth voices, filter topologies, envelope generation, etc. - you could build a custom OB-6 + MS-20 hybrid, with a built in Euclidean step sequencer & 5 different filters. The possibilities & customization is literally only as limited as your imagination.
@zacharyreutlinger76235 ай бұрын
@@goonfish yeah I have a fairly large eurorack system but I am against polysynth approaches in modular. It's too many resources to create something really simple compared to what you can do with a polysynth. Modular is ideal for monophonic or potentially paraphonic patches. I have both the Minifreak and Poly Brute, and they do a fairly good job of finding the sweet spot between modular and keyboard synths with their mod matrixes and options.
@mylarmelodies5 ай бұрын
I know what you mean regarding resources to make a modular poly, it’s a massive effort just to make something coherent/in tune. IMHO I think the Telepathy approach has legs (hence agreeing to do this project) as you can get a few voices of poly, with presets, recall, individual CV control for each module, in a small space and minimal faff.
