Predictability?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I don't know how to phrase this without it sounding a bit patronising. But how the hell do you know what you are doing..?</p> <p>I've been around synths a long time. Only recently tried 'modern' modular. I can tell you plenty of the theory how they work. But I have, say, 3, modules wired together, the output could be anywhere.</p> <p>I have a (Behringer) Wasp. I know, near enough, what is going to happen if I turn this or that knob. Old school subtractive synthesis (and I lived in Sheffield a long time).</p> <p>Do you actually decide ahead of time &quot;I want this sound&quot;, like a traditional musician would (or possibly Kraftwerk), or just dive in? How much do you determine the sound?</p> <p>I found myself thinking, I know how to change this sound, over there a bit. But it wasn't ahead of time, I want to do this. /Modify the sound in that direction, maybe. But then if you are using shitloads of sequencers, just wtf?</p> <p>Live people, not a seat of pants thing? One minute Skrillex, next bad farty noises... (Can you tell them apart?)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/danja"> /u/danja </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/108h3f7/predictability/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/108h3f7/predictability/">[comments]</a></span>
