*CALL TO ACTION* - comment below and let me know what you think, I'd love to answer questions publicly for you all. 

Couple of new ideas on the go for things to make Patreon an even cooler place for you. How would you feel about me doing a series of videos on the theme "Ask me anything"? 

You could post a question here (or wherever as I figured it out) and then I'll make a video with me going through the answers. Reading out the question and giving an answer as these will no doubt be useful for a lot of people. Doing it as a video also makes it nice and easy to add pictures on screen, show my ugly mug and demonstrate things with modules themselves as well.

Sounds like a cool idea to me! Here's a question: When you work on a modular track (or a jam) what topography do you choose for the patch? E.g. Colin Benders seems to use his modular as an aggregated bunch of individual voices all driven by one single master clock and going parallel into mixers and FX. Its kind of like a hardware DAW with individual synth tracks. But of course there are many different ways to do it - another option could be sampling one building block/sound of the track into a computer/octatrack, etc., then unpatching everything and adding the next layer on top. Or the "noise" approach, with everything going everywhere without any real structure. I bet there are many more ways. The question also spans topics like clock distribution, FX routing, etc. Maybe that question suits the potcast better... Anyway, it would be cool to collect some basic, abstract patching structures and evaluate what use case they fit best. It could be a great source of inspiration for us all. I tend to stick to the same scheme everytime and some fresh ideas might stimulate new creativity.

Great idea. One thing I'd like to hear about is ways to control several changes at once while a patch is playing. Myself,I tend to focus on just one thing at the time, and sometimes that's not so great, as all the attention goes to one aspect while the others are neglected and static. E.g., the drums are varied and interesting, but the tonal elements end up a bit boring, or the other way around. On the Analog Four synth, there are "performance macros" that one can set up to control several things with one knob. It would be fun to see some examples along those lines.

Here's one more: using quantisers to get melody (harmony?) from lfo's and the like. I don't own a quantiser myself, so I'd be very interested in some examples of what works and, perhaps, what the limits are.

The questions I had when I saw the AMA were basically what is written above. I'm conversant and ok with the idea of "modular as a collection of voices", but am curious about performance oriented ideas, especially in terms of phrases and portions of songs and such.

Hey DivKid love your stuff. I was wondering if you could make a video that goes over uses of a ring modulator. i just got one but am finding that i am not using it very much because it intimidates me
