One week with Modular

I recently got an ipad for work:
Heres a few rough jams I made with Mirack. Already own an ipad, and felt like dipping toes into the modular world, interesting stuff. Rough recordings-

iPad and modular…

I’m getting you some succulents for Christmas.

Some nice stuff though.

Im already saving up for an overspecced lighting rig and posh camera set up so I can use that hihend preamp for thumbnail wanking.

Good lad.

Nice sounding examples. Despite the early controversy surrounding MiRack I think it is a greatly underrated app - especially in terms of how it sounds - there seems to be a fluidity and smoothness to the sound that it produces from an iPad that surpases what I hear listening to VCV2 on MacOs. Also makes a hugely formidible partnership running inside Drambo. So much of MiRack can be automated using Drambo. This gives rise to a seamless hybrid Elektron/Modular environment for a very small fiscal investment.

Thanks for listening.
Interesting. I know nothing about VCV rack, or macs in general.

Sounds very nice.

I also recommend you take a look at Drambo. Elektron-like sequencer, and modular-like in how you can hook things up.

Or just play with mirack for a while. Don’t loose focus like Elektron. :grin:

My cat was very interested in these sounds for whatever reason.

This is excellent. My particular favourites on first listen are 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9. There’s an almost Autechre vibe in places, either rhythmically or tonally or both – to my ears at least. Would you recommend this software to people wanting to try out modules from Mutable etc before buying the real world items?

Wow thats huge praise, thanks!

Recommend? Absolutely! You can try them out for free on VCV if you have a computer, so thats a no brainer.

I’m probably never going to buy the real thing. Cant afford it! Plus my system looks like this…

The main thing I wanted to do was:

Not use sequencers.
Not use familiar oscillators (so no subtractive vco vcf stuff)
Keep the voice count down.
Not use samples.

You can basically build any system you want.

sees 4 sequencers, 3 extremely popular oscillators, and 7 voices

No samples… check.

:face_with_monocle::joy:

Ok smartypants, no step sequencers (where are you seeing sequencers anyway? The random voltage samplers are not sequencers, at least not from my reading of the manual. )
None of the modules are familiar to me. Dont care about what is popular.
Could be more voices if you use the LFOs as a voice right?

Sorry, just amusing myself

Well, one could say they generate sequences, they are only continuously random if you want them to be

Or the other way round.

Or can use them as complex LFOs which has been my latest use. Not even touching the gate side.
