Sound sources with vs without builtin attenuator (or am I thinking about this wrong)
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Planning my first system. I want lots of voices and complex haromony, and I think I’d rather spend my complexity on things that can create rhythm and haromony vs things that shape sound. </p> <p>I think I’ve learned that the standard way of making sound is VCO -> VCA -> filter with envelope. So the VCO gets a CV for pitch and the VCA gets a trigger for rhythm. </p> <p>Option 2 seems to be things like plaits and pico voice with at least the VCA built in, if not also some amount of shaping with CV control.</p> <p>Option 3 I guess is like Expert Sleepers Disting Ex where you say screw it and play samples. </p> <p>So, as a beginner, why would I want to pick option 1 over option 2? Would I be missing out on a lot of options for controlling tone if I restricted myself to options 2 and 3? </p> <p>Side question: are there some favorite modules in the category of “batteries included sound sources”? Etherial and spoopy is a plus.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/joyofresh"> /u/joyofresh </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/u6rrfm/sound_sources_with_vs_without_builtin_attenuator/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/u6rrfm/sound_sources_with_vs_without_builtin_attenuator/">[comments]</a></span>
