My main #eurorack community #EarthModularSociety is doing a full 24 hours of drones on Twitch. I'll be on at some point to help out too. Come hang in the chat and listen to some wooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooowwwwwww
Another stab at some lofi hip hop type stuff. The bass ended up being quite a bit higher than I intended, but.... eh, live recording, amirite? I have no idea what I'm doing yet.
Anyway, plaits in chord mode is doing both the chords (into ikarie/basil) and bassline (being put into clouds), then a airline sample mangled by mimeophon.

O_c Bernoulli gate into two naths envelopes that modulate a square vco and Plaits. Sent to a delay, and then Clouds for extra bloopiness. The rest of my cables? Routing modulator signals around.
In other news I really need more patch cables. Ochd really eats cables.

I just uploaded a video of a Eurorack module I have been working on the last couple of years. It's a 4 voice real-time pitch shifter that I believe is pretty unique in the Eurorack world.
Today would have been Robert Moog's birthday, and he is of course the inventor of the incredibly awesome-sounding Moog synthesizer that you'll hear everywhere in rock music.
My introduction to the Moog was in the early 90s, I picked up Gary Numan's brilliant album Telekon in a tiny record store in Maryland when I was a teen. I was hooked. I still listen to it.
My second big Moog exposure was on the album Return of the Rentals by the Rentals, the side project of former Weezer bass player Matt Sharp. ANOTHER great album.
One more album you might know Moog synths from is of course Abbey Road, one of the first to have Moog on it, specifically a bunch on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and even "Here Comes the Sun".
