Dude's got a nice studio. Not sure why he's using all black cables though. I always wonder why anyone would buy all one color. I would get seriously confused if I didn't have different colors. In fact, I want more colors.

yeah more colours please (especially the stackcables)

the limited colour stackcables have really screwed with my sad obsessional colour coding system.

i dont think it's that desctructive to be critical of the guy.

for me, modular isn't about buying every piece of gear you can think of and then making novelty patterns using a $100,000 studio.

Becuase he's high profile it gets a lot of exposure. But the videos of the guys with simple relatively cheap setups doing interesting innovative music with feeling don't get a look in, and it reinforces the idea that modular is just expensive toys, and not functional innovative tools.

i agree,
but still i dont think a production forum is the place to criticise someone's music. i saw another video of him a while back, and he didnt look like a had a clue what he was doing.

yeah very true.

that other video he posted was pretty embarrassing. i think that highlife of fame from music is pretty dangerous. Lets hope he takes a step back and does some great music with all those machines.
