WTF is this thing?
I always assumed the jomox
Resonator Neuronium might fit into this, never tried one though.
Strega is super intriguing. Anyone here running it together with the Moog semimodulars?
Lots of expensive dirty synths in this thread. How about some cheap(ish) ones?
Volca Keys - has a real unique gritty sound, especially in the delay, which I haven’t heard on anything else
Yamaha CS01 - ok, not so cheap anymore, but still probably cheaper than most other synths in this thread
Tri-Negistor - a friend made one of these for me many years ago. Weird uncontrollable noise oscillator box.
Knifonium sounds quitte unique, dirty, raw
Might be stretching the definition but Korg Monotribe?
Mutable instruments Shruthi with a polivoks filter
Always fancied trying one of those, plenty of mods to go at too.
They are great fun, just absolutely stinking synth and lofi kk, sn, hh… excellent performance tricks and stand alone sound design, not to mention the sample fodder it emits!
@darenager will be the Mod-God you should seek
I’m not familiar with these personally but what I have heard of them has put them in the back of my mind for a possible future purchase

I know they are out of stock but you can find them secondhand sometimes or at dealers. They have a pretty unique vibe about them. Very dirty. That also goes for sythrotek’s sound in general. I have their cosmic space echo squared delay pedal and that thing is wild and very grimey!
It’s tempting I gotta admit!

Yes me. I have a little collection of semimodulars: DFAM, SubH, grandmother, 0-coast and Strega, plus a small Eurorack case that mainly provides utilities for the semimodulars. It’s a nice setup although cables can sometimes get really messy!
Analogue Solutions Fusebox with its „Patternator“ seems fun and the sound / track, which the YouTuber rezfilter gets out of it, is massive and raw. Really dig it.
How do you tend to incorporate the Strega? Do you run the outs of your other gear into it?
I always applaud the feedback / mixer torture / No-Input Mixing advice. I’ve been delving into that myself recently. But there’s no evidence of it blowing up anything in the mixer, or doing any damage. There’s been a few studies designed to debunk this, just FYI!
