Best with headphones 👉 Model D through the Gatekeeper filter box. Arturia Pigments for the clean background treatments. Simple kick 909 drum. Moog One for the intro. 👉 if you were compelled to watch past 3 seconds send it to someone 😉

Kinda forgot I did this recording. Mellow with a Moog One and a 432k rev2 distortion filter pedal. Our sweet Lily made a brief appearance in the background. Phone audio does not do it justice.

Every time I run a GateKeeper through the testing process it becomes a sound design session. 😂

Come with me while I search for the perfect modular synth bass line. Great example of a split second moment in time that hit the pocket just right. In my opinion of course.

Wash GateKeeper enclosures first. Not after electronics are installed! The lake is a place I grew by as a child. Jared is building his own guitar. Cats not ready to play with Eurorack modules yet.

Only a few more months to go before the best time of year. 🎃 after that there is no shame staying inside while it rains playing with modular gear.

Doing some final testing for this custom order before it ships. Dual Hyde Distortion filter. The misc mod is really interesting and …destructive. There have been times I think something is wrong and then I notice it’s “active” 😂 all the toggles can get a little confusing. But we’re not here to do normal things.

Through-hole components are a sort of micro modular system. Like with Eurorack, you never just make a cool sound and move on. You make one… then lose 30 minutes tweaking it. Then remember work exists. 😂
