Greetings

Thought I'd say Hi. Never was much of a Redditor, but I do appear to have arrived at the same time as a lot of them. Got into Modular as a form of occupational therapy following a back injury and built up a small system from a small gifted case and PCB/Faceplate kits. I find the building of the modules at least as enthralling as making sounds with them (I won't dignify my efforts with the term "Music" yet). Fallen away a little recently, but I keep looking at it (and tripping over the PSU) and thinking I should start fiddling again.

cousteau,

Awesome to hear you went the DIY route! There seem to be some amazing kits out there, and seem like a much cheaper way to get into modular. Would absolutely recommend you go back to fiddling with sounds, if you ever feel the pull. I find that sound design and patch building is the very thing that makes modular special.

Doesn't matter if you're releasing full tracks or just experimenting with sound; as long as you're having a good time, that's all that matters.

hi 👋

what's your favorite module from your system?

The one that really changed how I use it was the Time Wizard by Shakmat. It's a difficult decision between that and the Turing Machine - they combine so well. I don't have any expanders for the TM (no more HPs) but that'll probably be what I build next when I get more rack space (and time).

cousteau,

Not OP but I like the question haha. I'll throw out two (though the first one is a bit of a cheat answer):

Desmodus Versio - never thought a reverb could be so "playable." It responds so well to modulation and can add a ton of character to simple sounds. I also really love NE modules and their Versio platform, it makes this thing incredibly versatile. Have also enjoyed the Melotus (granular) and Ruina (distortion) firmwares!

Mutable Instruments Tides (v2) - a much simpler and more straightforward module but seems to find its way into almost every patch I build. This was one of the first modules I bought, to add some external CV into my semi-modulars. It can act as an LFO, envelope/cycling envelope, and as an oscilattor (which sounds way better than it has any right to). Fantastic little swiss army knife that is simultaneously intuitive and deep.
