A chronicle of my foray into the world of modular synthesis.
SkyLab is what I call my modular synth rig(s). Check out my Modules pages for info about each module in my system. Get additional info on tons of synth modules at Modular Grid.
Check out my Instragram for my semi-regular Modular Monday posts
SkyLab I
This is the "Base" unit, mainly used for creating crazy sounds and compositions and such.
SkyLab II
This is the "Bass" unit, mainly for creating bass sounds with my bass guitar as a controller.
Arturia MicroBrute
This tiny powerhouse of a synth increases the flexibility of my setup by adding a keyboard, another ocsillator, additional modulation with the LFO, ADSR envelope, mod wheel, pitch bend and sequencer. The MicroBrute can be used to control the SkyLab or SkyLab can control the MicroBrute by MIDI or CV.
I started out thinking I had the Disting in Wave Shaper mode (2-d) but I was actually in (4-c), VCO with Linear FM (how the heck did I do that?). Oh well, I was already knee-deep and I liked the way it sounded. A Pico VCO is going through the Skis to shape the volume envelope then, the output is sent to the self-oscillating Ripples filter. The Ripples is going through the Disting to generate the FM. The RCD is used to jumble up the rhythms.
