Thread: small setup for a modular break
If you want something based around modal:samples
I would go for a Volca FM rather than the drum - you can make loads of drum sounds with the Volca FM and all the synth sounds too.
Possibly a bit harder to grok, but imho it is always worth learning how to do FM well.
The Mood after the Volca FM will be excellent - while the FM sounds great as it is, the Mood will make it sound like a proper class synth.
Then maybe a end of chain compressor before your recorder. Something like an RNLA will work wonders.
Have fun!
Edit: just realised the modal:samples doesn't have an 'in', so the end of chain compressor doesn't make much sense without a mixer.
