@norootcause This may seem niche, but The Modular Synthesizer.

Invented in the 1950s and then ushered into reality by Moog and Buchla in the '60s, then soon by Roland. Used by all your favorite jam bands of the '70s, but very expensive and not reaching nearly the popularity of its contemporary blossoming technology, The Electric Guitar.

All sorts of brands came out with modulars, but it wasn't until the '90s that Dieter Doepfer's "Eurorack" - a "miniature" format for modular - began to infiltrate the scene.

Fast forward to 2025, and Eurorack has become the most popular format, it dominates electronic music with all the brands and DIY being done. There is no serious electronic musician without a modular, and it is probably one of many.

Move to techno.

Built a FM drum by Moritz Klein / Erika Synths today.

Really good kit and I just messed up one resistor on the way. Surprisingly it worked on the first try.

Sounds fits perfectly in my exotic drum rack concept. Solid, well tunable bass drums and lots of percussion material, ideal to fill up some gaps I had.

Might do a short vid on this.

Took some juggling but I got them going together. Success! The G&T gate-to-trigger is sandwiched between the Doepfer A160-2 Clock Div II and the Nonlinear Circuits Poultry in Motion PT2933 delay with integrated divider that can be synched to the delay steps.

Picked up two used clock dividers at Perfect Circuit so I'll be tetrising a spot for them today.

I really want the large delay / divider in the big rack but the space I have is 8hp, not 10.

My Rotating Clock Divider died and I will try to fix it, but I have momentum on other makes that I need to finish first!

Piero Umiliani, who is one of the characters of the – otherwise mostly fictional – graphic novel Giètz! was big into synths. He owned for example a EMS VCS-3 and made a few electronic soundtracks (here's an example: https://pieroumiliani.bandcamp.com/album/synthi-time).
Couldn't help but make this little self-parody of the comic, with a slighly anachronistic twist.

I thought after completing three songs and getting deeper into a fourth that I should share some of the sonic artifacts I've recorded along the way.

Ambient, dark electro, experimental minimalism, improvised corners of where I'm sourcing my sound library for constructing studio tracks.

Today I am patching a combo I finally can achieve: a Shepard Tone, the sonic equivalent of a barbershop pole. 💈

To do it entirely on an analog modular synth, I have the mighty Doepfer A-143-1 quad EG/LFO, with each chained to the next, and separately patched to the CV inputs on an Intellijel Quad VCA. Four individual triangle VCOs are sent to the VCA inputs, so they fade in and out with the cycle of the quadrature LFO. The same signal coming from the Doepfer channels is fed simultaneously to the 1v/8va input of each VCO
matching that channel on the VCA.

The effect happens as each VCO is changed in pitch according to the LFO at the same time it is being faded in with the VCA by the same LFO shape. As the next LFO fires it fades the next VCO the same way, one after the other like an ouroboros.

With each quadrant of the LFO represented (+/- sign/cosign), the continuous sound you hear is a constant rising tone. Put through a bandpass filter to fine-tune the audible range, the result is an audio illusion: the pitch of the sound seems to always be going forever upward.

I promised some Ferrous sounds! I hope it works.

This is part of a patch I'm working for the third track. Layers of some looped figures with a deep synth ground drone holding up yawning higher pitched guitar tones coming from the Ferrous and through some delay.
