M8 controlled modular (who’d have thought?)

Niiiice vibe.  You running the modular back in though the M8?  Sounds really cohesive.  Bit crush (technically frequency crush) works perfectly too

yeah it does go back into the M8. my usual workflow at present is syncing the nerdseq, poly2 and mmmidi units to the M8, do all my wild things, sub mix in the rack, stereo out into the M8.

When I get to the tail end of constructing a patch,  I record that output back into the M8 as a sample, inevitably slam it through POST or AD AMP and some kind of slightly modulating LFO on cutoff or resonance, and I move onto the next!

It means that I (hopefully one day) can play these back, mute/solo, filter etc in a live scenario with an M8 or two, and not have to repatch a modular per track (or settle on one patch to compose in, which feels like the antithesis of modular somehow).

I could see this backing a deep snow powder run. Nice.

you had me at the sick feedback delay sweep around 0:22

backed off into the drone wash, it's a great ambience behind the bass and drum

Damn I need to better understand this workflow haha. I never considered recording modular to the m8. Sounds really fucking good though. Seems like a workflow that could really get inspiring and quick once you iron everything out. I'll try to get something like that going! Inspiring as hell
