ONE MODULE AT A TIME! Starting modular with a tiny case – ft. Rosci, Centaur’s Gates, and more!

When you start out in modular, you can often get advice that is far outside of your budget. Starting with a small case helps a little bit with that. The challenge with a small case is being able to do anything with it even after it’s full. That’s where smart design comes into play. There’s so many modules out there that offer a great amount of flexibility, control and playability. Putting together this small case was partly a challenge but also a bit of fun just shopping amongst the modules I already had (no monster cases here). I wanted to go through and give the impression of what it could be like to slowly add up one module at a time as if you were slowly saving up and buying modules like I did. If you have modules there, it’s so easy just to patch them up right? In the end, I had so many more jams than I was expecting and way more range in sound than I was expecting. There’s a lot of fun here, hope you enjoy it. I didn’t go deep in explaining patches this time but stay tuned for more. Paid Promotion Thanks to Omnitone for sending the Rosci and thanks to Shakmat for sending Centaur’s Gates. Both work incredibly well together and independently and I’m loving having them in my case. No money changed hands and they just had to make an appearance in a video here or there.
