Lmao Lugia, thanks for the visuals. I see what you mean and I took those words to heart because you are totally right. All those tiny knobs too close together would chap my ass. Wound up ditching them entirely for the ensemble. In this layout I tried to focus on utility and modulation. I included the ensemble because the brute already has two VCO’s and like Jim said, I really don’t need that many for this setup so I thought that adding a digital monster would offer a nice way to get some complicated sounds from one place. I added some multi function modules and some random sources, I think between some of the multi function tools and the Chimera, Ensemble, and minibrute as the primary sound sources I cover a lot of bases utility wise. I imagine the randomness along with the quantizers and modulation functions here offer a lot roads to travel on. I’ve only dived into a few of the modules so far so I’m sure this layout will probably change again along the way. In any case I think I want to start with the initial list Jim mentioned and work from there. I looked up YouTubes of those and thought that yeah if I can learn those inside and out then I will venture further. That zverb though, might jump the gun on that one.
Thanks again for the wise words and guidance!!! Also, please let me know what looks stupid about this build if you feel like it. I think I have something miles ahead of what I started with though and a much better idea or mindset about what I want to do here.
