Doepfer 3D Joystick

video upload by Bata

"Quick janky explanation of the Doepfer 3D Joystick A-174-4 along with some examples of how I use it and a patch breakdown of the patch I'm using it with. I plan on doing a couple more joystick idea videos that are easier to follow. Too many modules being used to list them here so just watch my Full Modular Overview video which I will link below.

There is some annoying color switching at times on the video. I think it's caused the bright white case and moving the camera too much but I'm not sure. Sorry about that.

My engineer decided to do some stereo separation with the frequency shifter track on this one. This has the advantage of a wide phasey sound but the vocally audio rate sound from the frequency shifter is less impactful than it would be if it was stacked with the dry signal in the center. Probably best to listen through headphones for this one."

Full Modular Setup Overview
"Added a couple new things and switched stuff around so decided to do a quick video explaining the rig. Could have talked for an hour or 2 about this but kept it to 10 minutes because of my phone's time limit. Will add a modular grid link below."

Synthesizers.com Joins synthCube

Some news sent my way via John L Rice

via synthCube on modwiggler:

"We are happy to announce here (first) that Synthesizers.com will be joining our portfolio of synthCube brands here just outside of Boston. We spent the weekend packing all of the assets, inventory, demo units etc into trucks and will be taking the next few weeks to get everything set up again in our shop. We owe much gratitude to Roger Arrick for the initial effort to design and start the company in the first place, to James Allen and others who took on Dotcom when Roger passed it along to them, and to the most recent owners for their stewardship of Dotcom in the interim. If you're a designer / maker of dotcom/MU 5U modules, we hope that this helps re-energize interest in your products too... frankly, the more options that customers have, the better for those customers and for the format itself. Part of how we will measure success is NOT by how many makers we put out of business, rather it will be how many makers will now grow faster, and how many new makers might come in and create more dotcom/MU 5U innovations? We'll post more details about future plans here and in other channels when we have some time, and we look forward to hearing your feedback, ideas, and suggestions on how best to inspire and support the current generations of Dotcom users and how to improve the products and solutions for the next generation as well. We know Dotcom/5U won't ever be as popular as Eurorack, and that's OK; BUT we are equally confident that there will always be a place for high quality, large format, serious synth instruments and modules and 5U will be around for the long haul. How does that saying go? 'We liked the product so much we bought the company.'

Dream of the moons | Roland Jupiter 6, Rhodes Piano, and Fractal Audio FM3 lush ambient soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"Wow, made it to 11,000 subscribers. It’s funny because it would seem like a “success” so to speak… but it’s not so different than when I only had 100 subscribers or 500, or 5,000. Truthfully, I guess the successes I have are raising my kids, it’s the time I truly feel like “I made it.” My career doesn’t feel so successful either. But I do enjoy the stuff I do here, and I suppose doing it has allowed me to write at least 21 albums worth of electronic music, which in itself is a feat I suppose.

Success just doesn’t seem to be an endpoint. You can look at someone who seems successful, and they can be moments from catastrophe, either self-inflicted or otherwise, or they don’t view their lives as successful at all. It’s like success is that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You think it’s there and all you have to do is catch up with it, but you really won’t ever see it, because there is no pot of gold. Some of the most miserable, hateful people I know… have lots of the stuff. I guess I am learning something in this world: that money and success won’t be there to make me happy. But I feel real joy around my family, and some joy around things I achieve, but it’s pretty clear that there will never be a thing that I do that tells me that I was or will be successful. And that’s good enough for me.
