This question was spurned by a particularly cool patch I "discovered" last night while playing around with some lesser-used modules of mine.

I think we all know by now that the multimod can also process audio, and while it's a pretty cool party trick, wtf do you do with eight audio outputs? I realized that you could make a pretty killer supersaw with running a basic plaits saw wave into multimod, but then started aimlessly patching into all my fx when I had a Eureka moment.

I already owned a module that was perfect for this exact thing; the Soundstage V2. When you patch all the detuned saw waves into the 10 or so spatial inputs on the Soundstage, you get this absolutely MASSIVE supersaw that sounds like its coming from all around you.

And even better than that, it has an fx send and return! So I had all eight detuned saw waves fed into a stereo wavefolder/filter (the new SSG one), and was grinning so hard as I made some of the filthiest patches I've ever tinkered with. Then I tried it with the pulsar synth on the disting NT, and the result was even heavier! Since the time input on multimod tracks v/oct, you can even seamlessly pitch up to a fifths or octaves supersaw.

Sorry if this is an overly specific topic, but I figured some others out there must have made some cool connections like this.

He's kinda newly deprogrammed and still kinda upset about it so please dont ask him too many probing questions.

I will say that he's always been a great guy and just really hasn't followed ethan as obsessively as we do here (that's good). When I showed him some of the top clips from this sub, he totally got he'd been duped.

Just trying to get this sub more discussion oriented as opposed to *the other place* and thought this would be a good topic to start.

For me, I did reporting for Clemson news radio back in like 2013 where I would write up lil articles on concerts I went to and post them on our website. I have loved Asheville for ages, so of course when a chance to go there for something called moogfest appeared, I jumped at it.

I distinctly remember my first interaction was with a make noise employee showing off their shared system. Musically I thought it sounded pretty bad, but man the hieroglyphic looking design of that thing intrigued me so much. But I was a broke college student so I laughed it off as some weird music tech for nerds and went to some other concerts without considering a purchase.

Fast forward like 6 years, and by chance I happened to stumble upon the Moog store upon another trip to Asheville. I instantly recognized thst esoteric wall of computer things as the same thing I saw at moogfest and asked a million questions to the employees there.

I tried making my own noises on the wall, and hardly anything worked. The only thing I was able to get a cool sound out of was some random vco into the mutable warps. I only had enough money for one​, and I was absolutely smitten by the colorful light ring on the warps, so my first module stupidly enough was something that couldn't make sound (i also bougjt a 4ms pod that day). But I didnt care about making my own sounds because putting a radio through that thing was addicting by itself. I saved sample pack after sample pack of random noises into warps before I ever got a second module.

Curious to hear other's stories too.

I had a feedback patch once where the three modules in question (bastl pizza, xaoc koszalin, and zlob trepanator) were all cross patched with each other without any sort of clock input. Despite that, a rhythmic undulation occurred at exactly 120 bpm. No matter how many knobs I turned, this pattern stayed the same. Sometimes the tempo would go doubletime or sometimes it would go down to 60bpm but it always stayed locked to that core tempo.

Now, I had the pizza in the pitch mode where it stays locked to C (if you dont have v/oct in) and turning the pitch knob only raises or lowers the octave. After some more experimenting I found that this was the source of the effect I had noticed.

I looked into it more and it turns out 120 bpm could actually be considered a veerrryyy low C if somehow people could hear that low. It makes me wonder if part of the reason those two are considered the "defaults" for music is because of that mathematical relationship. Probably not, but it's fun to speculate.

If anyone wants to here a snippet of the patch, here ya go:

What weird lil quirks have yall come across in your patching journeys?
