I have an Elements, a microClouds, and a Maths module. I’m thinking about getting a Stages to free up the Maths for other duties (attenuation, etc). Should I get rid of the maths and free it up for something else?
Is there anything I’m missing, should do without/with? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
And how will you play it (sequencer? keyboard with CV/Gate outputs?).
Yes, I would ditch the Maths and replace it with a Shades (you’ll need to attenuate those modulations from Stages if you want to use them for Clouds). Add a little sample player (2-HP play, TipTop One, Music Thing Radio Music) and/or Ears for more interesting excitation sources.
I like to patch Ears Out in to Resonator and Ears Gate in to Gate, that way I can get lots of small brushy sounds from the contact mic, and the o ly trigger the exciter of I tap of scratch hard. Really good for nice ambient sounds.
