trans musician making synth music
One modular voice from the 110, doubled an octave up with a pulse wave from the 2600(LFO modulating the PWM and VCO2 in LFO mode adding a slow wave to the cutoff)
S&H on the 2600 is modulating the cutoff on the 110

Listen to those crunchy delays on the DFX9 in the spaces between notes 😍

Slightly generative sequence built in MidiHub: arpeggiated major 9th chords with random octave jumps and a 60% chance of a note triggering. The DAW is alternating between CM9 and FM9

also, that moment when you lock in a perfect dotted eighth delay *chef’s kiss*

at higher repeats before it goes into oscillation and completes digital chaos, it’s got this absolutely filthy crunchy sound that’s gorgeous

btw, the behringer 110 module (VCO, VCF, VCA all in one) sounds sooooooooooo freaking good!
It's based on the old Roland series 100 modules

I'm already planning to get a bigger eurorack case so that I can get all the behringer series 100 modules

yeah, i was hoping it would send gate signals, but i guess if i want to do that I'd have to get a trig-to-gate converter

that's handy! thx!

the Behringer K2 is a little trickier because it's expecting S-trigs instead of the eurorack standard V-trigs.

that was baking my noodle trying to get that to work until I realized that

But using the CV and gate from a different source has been working fine.
I’ve ordered the Behringer midi to cv module so maybe that can help

I got the nifty case used so it was a good price point to start getting into modular. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but the pitch scaling when using the case inputs is off and I don’t know how to fix it. The updater won’t work for me so I can’t update the firmware.

I could listen to him talk all day long…

oooo, good idea!
i just got it last week. I used to make guitar based music but I'm moving into synth stuff, so I'm still just figuring things out and learning their palettes of sounds and textures
