Ok... so ehrm, Steves modular is possibly the most massive eurorack i have seen in real life. It does not only look massive, it sounds massive... its basically doing all the sounds except for the pads on the nord and ms-20 solo sounds, simple bass on the arturia and some hihats on the TR8.. everything else you hear, even the snare drum patterns and the sampled speech is from the modular :)
we have been trying to get together for some time.. but work and other boring stuff got in the way, now finally this weekend we had the opportunity and just went with the flow.
Steve plays several sequences from his machine, and we divided these movements into two distinct parts. .with a small intermission in the middle (sort of).. to give it a story like feel.
it is _very_ psychedelic, and very BEER-lin school (yeap, we had a few).. and after 1,5 hours of jamming we recorded this one in one go.. no overdubs, all live. On the plus side is that i now also have 6 stereo tracks of the audio so we can polish the hisses and buzzes and adjust some levels if needed for a future release ... :)
And FYI, steve sets his modular up at home, noodles away.. and labels all patch cables, and puts everyting together at my place.. so there is a massive amount of prep on this one, so not a blank panel session.
So please enjoy, we have had a blast.. this will definitely be something you will hear from us again... unless steve expands his modular so that it will not fit into my studio :D :D
Cheers from the two of us!

![BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QqyJr6Y-LKY/mqdefault.jpg "BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]
This challenge has Ended on 2018-12-05, thanks for all submissions!
The main idea of this challenge is to give others insight and inspiration of what they can get for 1000USD, also what the setup could potentially sound like.
My music:
Bandcamp ► https://music.ollilab.com/
Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/artist/5lPHagff7SG960LQZfva9Q
The total cost of gear should NOT exceed 1000 USD
The cost should be for ALL music gear used, synths, FX pedals etc
Video and Audio recorder units, Mixing console and cables, peripherals are excluded from the total cost calculations
A complete list of the gear, items used is mandatory in the post detailing the total cost.
Please remember for your own submissions, videos are easier to review should there be any questions regarding the actual use of equipment, so if you know that your track will sound complex, a video is recommended.
Also, try and keep your track below or around 5 minutes, there will be a lot of music for all of us to review and listen to.
Make sure to check out my third BURG1k session, maybe this one can help give you guys some inspiration!
