Modules I NEVER Use & Modules I ALWAYS Use

Every module I own, what it does, how often I use it, and if I’d trade it.

    Within like 10 hours, both Intellijel and Pittsburgh Modular hunted me down with their amazing customer service and asked to fix the issues I mentioned. So for what it's worth, I should have said this in the video: Every company has defective modules, I was just too lazy to do anything about them. I'll be happy to finally have the Plonk experience everyone is raving about. 🙂

    super enjoy your videos because of your recognisable honesty and/or self-critisism. same as you, never really befriended any expert sleepers and and have a very similar opinion about most of the modules you list here. Since a short while i watch "monotrail tech talk" where i also share his opinion about most of the modules he lists…. i do think you would like his channel.. just a recommendation…

    Pity, the Disting Mk4 makes a nice very long sample player, playing stereo loops that hours long is no problem for it. The clocked and scrub modes for sample playback are also fun. of course setting up an SD card with all the things you might want to do with it is the prep work you have to invest in order to do much with this module.

    Feel you on the SMR. It's such a cool and complex module but despite putting a lot of effort into it, I came to the same conclusion. What I use it for most is running the output near the end of a signal chain into it and using the envelopes generated by the SMR to modulate the original sound source, so the patch is modulating itself. It makes for some very organic and subtle modulation, especially on a module like rings.

    The disting is a menace to use but for me works as a set and forget it type deal. It's similar to the OandC for me. At the moment I have disting as a master clock using the LFO mode and thats more than good enough by my books.
