wow it's another episode of white male youtuber making forgettable nu-age ambient with a mutable instruments-heavy eurorack

Would you give it a pass if it was a gril?

I'd say all the eurorack ambient shit sets the bar way too low, but modular isn't really capable of much more unless you either carefully multitrack it or use it conjunction with a bunch of other shit

Stop sucking so much cocks, Faggot.

My current hybrid setup. About as tastefully arranged as I can get it.

Picked up a used one of these, great at modern sounding leads, haven't tried making any traditional patches tho.

eurorack techno is where its at

still too basic sounding

God i hate eurorack modular synths, it's a more predatory niche than effects pedals.

Free your mind, your body and your soul and get down with the groove.

can you explain what you mean by this post, i'm new to synths and making music in general

grooveboxes are pretty lame too

the entire music gear market is crass consumerism, the shit he likes isn't any better

Grooveboxes in general sound fucking awful.

Korg's old Electribes were alright but the tired, cheesy old sounds in Roland's boxes either send me to sleep or make me retch.

>Free your mind and get down with some barely editable presets

ftfy

i agree, although i have never used the roland boxes. i love my 'tribes tho

Eurorack modules are all of your necessary electronic music making tools and components packaged up in several seperate modules that you have to collect and pay up the ass for before you can really make any music with them, at which rate you become obsessed with the look and appearance of your arranged modules that you forget that you completely forget that you bought them to make music.

Grooveboxes are typically rompler sound modules or synths with a performance/composition oriented sequencer and chassis built around them, to aid the musician with the composition of music, the key being the thoughtfully constructed sequencer.
Pad-based samplers can also be considered grooveboxes and are mostly fetishised by hip hop hipsters.

It bothers me a lot that modular gets hyped for making "generative" music. It encourages newcomers to fuck around with shitty ambient sounds without learning the basics or even attempting to play music. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of introducing some randomness to certain parameters and finding unique twist on a sequence you been jamming on. Generative sequencers have become a meme because of the amount of people running Marbles > Plaits > Clouds with a fucking succulent plant by the window.

still a work in progress at the moment

>It bothers me a lot that modular gets hyped for making "generative" music.
it's an entirely valid worthwhile thing to do, the problem is more just that modulars aren't great at it

>It encourages newcomers to fuck around with shitty ambient sounds without learning the basics or even attempting to play music.
you must have a very narrow idea of what music is

I listen to noise and ambient, I consider any rhythmic or structured sounds music. I'm just saying the typical consumerist modular crowd is people who buy tools and use them as toys with no intentions for anything more than looking cool and making soothing beeping sounds while they fiddle knobs.

like all other music gear

Pretty cool user, ngl. Don't really see how you could think what i posted sounded basic, but it is what it is.

I have a modular and i agree with you. Everyone has their own journey with modulars though. It is a shame that all most people see is shit ambient in a window with a potted plant composition.

the minimal techno stuff is just really meh and unambitious to me. there's too much low effort shit in electronic music, and modulars, "DAWless" etc. contribute to that. most good music isn't the sort of thing that can be improvised by a solo performer

Once again, I disagree but here we are. Keep making cool stuff like your clyp.

just new to this but
effects pedals == grooveboxes == eurorack modules

theyre all the same thing basically, tools

eurorack is more flexible in terms of sound design, but very limited in the scope of what it can do with respect to polyphony, sequencing etc. grooveboxes can have good polyphony but the sounds are fairly shitty. some of them have moderately flexible sound design possibilities, but you have to work at it

a groovebox is just a drum machine?
