Hi all,

I started more then a year ago with basic system 2 as some of you will have read here. Now I have expanded with row 3. In it are A 136, A 140, A 150, A 111 and A 155. Yesterday I got my first modules to fill up row 4. They are A 110, A 110 and A 156.

When began to experiment with my basic system I discovered how many possibilities I already had. A real eye opener was the fact that I could plug a waveform from say a A 110 back in one of it's CV in's!!!
I honestly thought that this was not aloud, to make such a connection, that all in and out's/out's en in's where fine, but not back into the same module! It felt like screwing around with current, delibrately making short circuit!!!
But what a richness of choices I had when I did. I began to fill all the holes of the in's with all the waveform's I had, only one leading to the A 130.
Amazing that you already can do so much with only two modules! That was only the beginning of a journey full of suprises. To discover that you can make very strong, rich sounds with only a few connections. So little patch cords, so much result! F.e. one of the greatest findings where the sparklings I could made my patching a vco waveform and a lfo waveform into the s/h. Just tweak that frequency knob on the lfo and your in for Kitaro or Schulze like sparklings!!! Of course it got space and depth when I let different kind of speeds of my delay running wild. I really love that kind of effects. I als had find bouncing sounds, I don't know how I did it exactly, but I will find it back, even without my written down patch, cause I have learned so much in a couple of months, that I it's only a question of time to track in down again.

Thanks Andrew Bunny, for getting me in contact with Allen Strange. His book has learnt me even more secrets of modular synthesis. I'm still not done yet, have read all chapters more than once and still have to read from Timbre modulation on.

A question for all of you: Where did you get your knowledge from From books, articles, internet or are you just a technical wizzard by heart

cheers,

Roel.
