Hi guys with this rack I do pretty generic techno, but after a year of improv, I'd like to decide on a genre to focus on. I like the sound of DC11 as a very good artist, and I would like to pursue that path. The point is that its rack is completely different and also very expensive hahaha. How can I get closer to those sounds, perhaps integrating with some modules (I still have space available) or replacing some of them? https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_2018166.jpg
At first you probably need a bigger a case and more fundamental utilities, like attenuverters, polarizer, envelopes, lfos .....
Its all mentioned in recent posts.
My first impression, I might missunderstood it at first glance is:
drums:
come from the jomox drummaschine // you can just use samples from the web and put in your /Digitakt, elektron samples, computer or sampleplayer of choice
synth hook
- seems to be the combination of a analog complex vco processed with a modulated filterbank.
you could try to emulate this with different cheaper vcos and filterbanks - but I guess the particular Verbos Filterbank has a special character. So it will be propably hard to come exactly near.
But there are a few cheaper filterbanks, you could combine a fixed filterbanks with a vca.
Like a Zlob VC F3DB, ADDAC 601 .....
Sequencing
Mimetis digitalis is nice, but Im not sure, if this enough to get organic sequences. Maybe better a sequencer with more settings per stage. Maybe it gets more unstable and floating or more wonky with crazy settings on pams to reset and shift the mimetic? I had good results with marbles + mimetic.
DFAM is fun as hell, but you could add them later.
I heard on a crappy PA, but the examples I heard seem to sound a bit cold and vintage vibed.
I guess a analog mixer and some hardware for analog coloring and maybe sparse digital delay - could be useful
- maybe you can get also close to this with a software emulation from UAD or something like that.
