There's been a Summer slowdown in lesson bookings, so I've been trying to make the most of my time and work on music and other stuff to learn my gear better. It's been a long time sing I did any real jams on the "big rack", which is the dual 104 hp mantis set that was supposed to be my only modular setup when I started. LOL.

I took the Hermod out a while ago to put in the performance rack to translate MIDI from the Deluge to CV, and haven't put it back since. So the big rack has been without a proper melodic sequencer if you don't count the KeyStep Pro, which you should because it's awesome.

But sequencing really is everything in modular. A sequencer can completely change everything about how you work with the same set of other modules. 

I added a Metron a while back and it's absolutely fantastic. Gate sequencing is almost more important to me than melodic sequencing, as it can do so much in a modular system, and Metron has quickly become the centerpiece of that system.

I wanted to dig into Ornament and Crime more, so I've been using its sequencer modes a bunch too. Sequinz, Quartermain, both are very capable. 

Finally, I added Moskwa, which is incredibly fun and performative. It begs for you to make it glissando and responds very well to modulation.

These tracks are a combination of all that exploration plus some of the first voices I ever got: Plaits, Braids, and Rings, Ensemble Oscillator. Klavis Twin Waves is always in play too, an oscillator I will recommend to anyone.

Finally, these are the first real jams with Beads in play, and it is a *wonderful* space and texture device. I love it because it, along with Erbe-verb and some careful modulation, really just constantly surprise you in the best musical ways.

I hope you like these. One was already released on the second channel yesterday, another will be next week, and tomorrow I'll release the house one on the main channel.

Beep boop, thank you for being here.
