Support the channel on Patreon: patreon.com/mylarmelodies 🙌 - In this vid I wanted to share some ideas in answer to that classic question of 'What module should I get to fill this hole in my eurorack', and go on to discuss strategies to help focus on making music (when it's time to), and making use of gear demos in different ways.
Sample Pack Sound Example List I mention if you want to try: Sub Bass, Bass, Leads, Slow Attack strings (aka pads), Kick, Snare, Open hi hat, Closed hi hat, weird percussive sounds, risers, drones.
One addition not mentioned. When you are going about making your sound pack, you may want some help/advice designing sounds - I woulds strongly recommend Sound on Sound's 'Synth Secrets' range of free articles, which will show you actual modular synthesis sound design approaches you can try: soundonsound.com/series/synth-secrets-sound-sound
What are your tactics and ideas you can share?
