I am a bit confused by your mail. I've heard several Alvo Noto records and it seems to me he uses almost entirely digital clicking noises, I really think a sampler or computer based editor is a better choice of instrument for that soundworld... maybe a nord micro an analogue modular could probably be coaxed to do something similar - especially the logic modules - but is one damned expensive way to make such simple and basic, and ultimately digital sounds...

Subject: 1 Introducing modular synths | Really need some help!


I'm pretty new on synth world. I've just had one synth so far - a Moog Little Phatty - and
I've managed to tweak that baby A LOT. Sweet phat analog sounding. Loved it! But... the LP
is a 'solo' synth.

I'm more into 'sound design' and create ambiences, and of course that the LP is not the
best choice for it. I purchased the Moog LP to introduce myself to the synth world. I've
learned a lot of the basics, and I think i've tweaked the synth the best I could.

The thing is: I want more, and to different stuff. Haven't I said this already

-

I'm thinking about getting a modular synth. The reasons are pretty obvious. We can do A
LOT of stuff with a modular, and we can increase the potentiality of it by adding more
modules. It's a lifetime buy that never ends.

But the thing is: I don't know nothing about modular synths, and only had the opportunity
to play with one just for a few minutes. I think I've ran dozens of music stores here in
Portugal, and I can't seem to find one with modular synths. So I just have one option: word
of mouth and buy elsewhere.

Doepfer synths seemed a great choice, and this is the reason why I am here!

The thing is, I know nothing about modular synths modules, and the best way to learn
things is to try them.

I was on Doepfer website and saw three different 'ready' systems (Basic 1, Basic 2 and
Mini), and even though they seem great buys I would like something more on a budget
just to start out, and with buy I'll buy more modules. Do you think this is a good option, or
I really need to start out with a complete system

Imagine that I want a synth that tries to recreate the kind of "music" that Alva Noto does.
What modules would you advise me I know this may sound silly, but I don't really want to
spend 1000 or 2000 euros on something that I can't take enough juice from. I want to
start with something real basic and on-a-budget, and then buy more and more modules.

Thank you very much for the help!

Cheers!
