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.
Here's a patch that uses lots and lots of Logic for creating various rhythms. The kick drum uses OR logic from Maths. The patterns for the "claps" come from AND logic generated by the RYO NAND/AND. And, of course, we're using logic generated by René to create variations in the melody.
