Well, since I decided to try and make a few actual tunes this year using the modular synth instead of just live experiments, thought I'd share my first attempt.

This is very cool, it almost sounds like some kind of synth distorted guitar. Great beat and breakdown parts. I like the addition of the Arturia parts too, well done $Bill!!

Thanks for watching!

That particular Arturia keyboard model is purely a controller - it makes no audio of its own, just voltages to control the modular synths. All the sounds here are 100% from the modular hardware boxes.

That's awesome, I have no idea how you do all that, such great creativity and it actually sounds like a proper structured song, great stuff indeed!!

Yo Bill, very feckin ace tune!

Well this style reminds me about the golden age electronic stuff. It's like something inbetween the Prodigy and Hybrid.
Lots of nice n dirty sounds, cool lead-synth with the Arturia, loved the moogish sounding synthbass too.
This is exactly what I wanted and hoped you to do, a full track! Anyway, a wicked tune!

Glad it works, esp since you gave me the push I needed to stop with the "done in one" tracks and try assembling something more polished. I'm sure I'll still do some quick distraction patches, but now that someone on another forum insulted me with "this sounds like what robots fuck to", I have a great project title of "music for robots to make love to" or something like that.

Well, I think that you could use distortion on some of the sounds but not all of them. Or just a bit less in the dry/wet manner maybe.
Anyway, the structure was spot on in this tune. How about a tune where you add some vox too? Either fx'ed or just few lines here n there?

I only added one distortion effect that wasn't in a module - a little Decapitator on the kick, was trying to keep this one nearly purely modular without relying on the DAW for sculting sounds other than mixing levels. I'll probably be less of a "purist" as this project progresses. Vocals? Eh... every time I do vocals I regret it, and even my speaking voice is rough these days (and not in a cool-sounding way) thanks to lung damage.
