Hi peeps,

my new synth, the Solar 42F, is a really awesome device with lots of features. However, I wanted to hook up a groovebox to be able to play a wider range of tracks. The sequencer / arpeggiator in the Solar 42F (there are actually several of them) should of course run in clock with the Analog Rytm.

After most people in my community told me that I should use a MIDI / CV converter to get the clock signal from the AR into the modular, I watched out for other solutions to keep the setup clean and small ("Small" lol the Solar is 50cm).

I made a video how I solved the problem using the Analog Rytm's board tools: The Impulse Machine. Plus there is a little jam at the end :) Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers

... but the Solar 42F demands for it. The stackable cables are super handy for passing a signal and double it. I still hope I gonna pass the Modular rabbit hole LOL

Hey folks,

It's always a special moment when you hold a physical medium with your music in your hands. Today was one of those moments: The test pressing of my new album ‘Zerfall’ arrived.

To be honest, the release is more of a test of the vinyl-on-demand service on which the album is being released - the music is kinda special. But I like releasing on vinyl and will include this distribution channel in the future for all my albums.

A copy of the record costs customers CHF 26 plus postage and packaging. I think the price is quite OK for on Demand production! I'll keep CHF 5 of that as profit. Quite OK :D But not my focus.

Hi guys ,

at the moment my jams are focused on learning the Solar 42F, what else :D it's still a big challenge to make music spontaneously with this instrument. The preparations still take far too long for me - it can easily take half an hour to tune all the synth engines.

Since my goal is to play a live show with it, I've put the focus on getting the pitching done in a proper way and I don't yet know how I'm supposed to manage 1 complete hour without a break for pitch corrections. Maybe one of you has the Solar as well and can give me tips on how to configure it for a live performance longer than 15 minutes.

Another challenge: I am about to add a groovebox to the Solar 42F. I have some specific ideas on my mind, but I have no idea how…
