Hello there, I hope you are well. Nice to meet you.
I have just taken delivery of my first ever modular system - a Modular 1. What a lovely thing it is and congratulations to all those involved with it's creation. I look forward to getting stuck in.
I have been involved with synths since 1987 when I was lucky enough to have a Roland HS-60 bought for me by my parents. Essentially a Juno 106 with speakers. Been through many models since then and have been at it long enough to know that it isn't the gear you have, it's the music you make with it so I am agnostic when it comes to the digital v analog debate. Ease of interface and depth of the environment are more important as I age.
I cannot wait to get under the skin of the Modular 1 which is going to sit alongside my Crumar Bit 1, and most often my Native Instruments Maschine/Komplete 12/Ableton system which I really enjoy. My aim being to trigger the Modular 1 from my Arturia Beatstep alongside anything running on the computer. I love to write Berlin style techno.
A quick first question would be about the spare space that is in the Modular 1 - about 3 spaces I think? One between the 2OSC and the VCO and two spaces on the far right of the rack. What would you recommend going in those spaces given the other equipment I have? For now I hope to keep it all in one rack but will doubtless expand later in the year to a second rack once I have got to grips with things.
Thank you for reading and for any suggestions I receive, and again - a pleasure to get to know you all.
Paul
