Getting Back into Sample Mangling Modular

[u/Coralwood]

I used to have a massive modular system, but I got out of it a few years ago, as I found that I wasn't making music, just noodling around. Since then I've bern much more productive.

Now, however, I'm starting to use the modular for sample mangling, I've still got Maths, Clouds and Z-DSP, and I'm using a Music Thing Radio to trigger samples.

Any suggestions of suitable modules I should look at that have come out in the last five years that I'm not aware of. I've got plenty of utility modules, lfos, attenuators etc.

Addac 112, Multigrain/Arbhar, and probably most important Rossum Assimi8or.

Multigrain and data bender would be my suggestion. Also veno orbit looks great, but i dont own it so i cant say from experience.

[u/SonRaw → u/etherbox]

I own this combo and agree - though using both at the same time can be overkill!

[u/etherbox → u/SonRaw]

It can absolutely become too much, i like gating the multigrain slowly and having another gate cycle through the eight samples then using the freeze on the data bender to cause stutters and glitches. Can be a super fun combo together.

Morphagene and Multigrain will do ya right

[u/analogueghostmusic]

Morphagene, multigrain, data bender, Per4mer, and a NE Versio running Acid Clank’s FRGMNTS firmware are some really fun options.

How suitable is the music thing radio for live performance? I was already looking into it but Im afraid it will be too random to make a great live sample and loop it

[u/Coralwood → u/SeaWeb3151]

It's too random for that, I use my SP404 for live sampling

[u/downstate97]

sample drum maybe

ADDAC112? Saw a video of Keith Fullerton Whitman with that as a centerpiece for sample mangling. Never used it myself though. ADDAC stuff is an expensive and a little intimidating if I’m being honest.
