This is where I've reached in a couple of months..

So it doesn't look so pretty at the moment, but I'm already getting some great sounds out of my new modular bits..

The designs have come from a variety of places (including, of course, MFOS and the soundlab) with a few added mods etc. Here's a page with details and some sounds. I'm also gradually beginning to get my own electronics resources page up & running (so far there's only details on adding an audio output to a cracklebox, but at least its a start...)

I've also been playing around with making MIDI controllers using Doepfer MIDI brains.. Putting a post about that over in the MIDi controllers forum..

Hey, I made sounds from the Control Rack a couple of days ago - things somehow twisted themselves into some sort of wonderful squelchy techno style - regular rhythm but with hyper-evolving sounds going on all around..

Here's the demo- its chopped down to 7minutes and the first half is all wierdy sounds etc, then launches into the techno stuff.

Have a listen, let me know what you think. CHEERS!

Ohyah, got a great MIDI to CV converter - Groove Electronics M2CV - two channels of Midi to CV plus it has a MIDI Clock to Arp trigger so I can now sync my modular perfectly to MIDI Clock - really really exciting!
