Eurorack enthusiast, believer in spiritual machines. The concept of emptiness in Buddhism finds a parallel in the blank slate of an unpatched instrument, full of potential yet devoid of inherent musical identity.

Buddhism teaches the Middle Way, a balance between extremes. Bibโ€™s white (final wet/dry mix and output volume) page expresses this balance, allowing the blend of raw input with processed sound, achieving harmony between what has been transformed.

Buddhist philosophy emphasizes emptiness (ลšลซnyatฤ) not as a void but as an infinite space of potential. Bibโ€™s blue (reverb) page embodies this principle. The pressure-sensitive shimmer control represents a subtle act of intention, small gestures cause profound transformation.

Luang Phor Phrom Thavaro taught that actions reverberate beyond their initial moment. Notes or modulations ripple through time on the green (delay) page, reinforcing that nothing exists in isolation. The touch strip, like a tape delay, just as mindfulness shapes our perception.

In Buddhist practice, oneโ€™s journey begins with the right intention, a deliberate step toward clarity and self-awareness. Bib's red (drive) section amplifies the input. This is the foundation, a signal of intent to be reshaped.

By engaging with Bib mindfully, musicians do not simply manipulate sound but participate in mindful reflection. Each delay, reverb wash, and touch-based modulation reminds us that everything is constantly changing and that true beauty lies in the transient nature of experience.

Luang Phor Phrom Thavaroโ€™s teachings guide practitioners toward a deeper understanding of impermanence, karma, and balance. Bib's gestural, fluid, and interactive nature reflects these principles, turning sound into a meditation on cause and effect, presence, and transformation.

The spider-like touch interface of Bib mirrors Buddhist wisdom. Each touch reshapes the outcome non-linearly, emphasizing that control is an illusion and that true creativity emerges from embracing uncertainty. Everything is connected, and every input creates a new possibility.

Luang Phor Phrom Thavaro emphasized the subtle power of harmony and adaptability, echoing the vibrancy of the Bib. Bib sparks sonic journeys with delay, reverb, and tactile interaction. Bib dances with the unexpected, embracing impermanence and the exhilaration of presence.

Cables rest, the sound is gone

Use the Drums Mode on the Panharmonium with longer slice times on drum loops to create evolving rhythmic spectral patterns, creating complex, layered rhythms.

Experiment with the Center Frequency and Bandwidth controls to isolate and manipulate specific frequencies of drum hits.

Drums Mode allows the Panharmonium to adapt its analysis to the unique characteristics of percussive sounds, pushing the boundaries of traditional percussion and create innovative, emergent sonic landscapes.

Drums Mode emerges from the interaction within the Panharmonium:
1. Spectral analysis is the core functionality of processing audio input.
2. Slice Time which can be as short as 17 ms.
3. Combining the Output Mode/Option button and Slice control. #synthsky #eurorack

The Panharmoniumโ€™s Drums Mode is an example of how emergence through creativity can manifest in Eurorack. This feature optimizes the spectral analysis for drums and other percussive inputs, showcasing how a complex system can adapt to produce novel and unexpected results. #synthsky #eurorack

17% CTR with an 80%> average watch time.
99.7% like vs. dislike ratio.

It just dawned on me that YouTube's algorithm looks at "seconds watched vs. channel average" instead of
"% of video watched vs. channel average".

Meaning that it's burying my best metric-performing video to date. ๐Ÿ™„ Clever!

Some Pittsburgh Modular instruments came with a small instant photo. The images weave a story around a design philosophy that centers on creating instruments that inspire creativity and exploration, allowing musicians to craft unique sounds through flexible and intuitive systems. #synthsky

The Middle Way
Rings controls (e.g., damping, brightness, and harmonic structure) encourage balance. Over-excitation or extreme settings may yield chaos, while measured adjustment creates harmonic beauty. This resonates with the Middle Way, which advises avoiding extremes to find harmony.
