Thanks Aaron. So far I’m happy with it, though I think I realised what I compromised on by buying such a comparatively cheap polyphonic synth (as compared to say a Prophet 12 or something). I would like a whole bunch more modulation, both sources and destinations.
My other synth is a DSi MoPho, which is monophonic and its modulation matrix is annoying to program but gloriously flexibel.
So far I don’t have any Volcas but several of those where on the table for me when I decided on which synth to buy. The Volca Modular har more of a Buchla approach to things, rather than a Moog style approach to things, right?

18 januari, 2020 09:17To be fair Henrik, I am still new to the modular world. I think that as Brian Eno would put it, I have been a ‘keyboard player with a few sounds’ (and a poor one at that!) Although I remember listening to the Early Gurus of Electronic Music a long time ago and tinkering what applications like Fruity Loops, I never quite grasps the modular world. What intrigues me is that it is an exploration. This is something Jonny Greenwood touched upon in an NPR interview.
For now I am off to explore the differences in styles …
