It was a little one for a discord server, they were quite forgiving on the time frame so the process was fairly relaxed. I mostly do programming so that’s generally what I focused on.
Also I’ve been listening to a lot of of my 70’s and 80’s cassette collection so some of that early synth sound is rubbing off on me I think
What’s the discord server if you don’t mind me asking ? I’ve got a friend that does film scoring and is starting to get into video game music, so game jams would be fun. I’m thinking of trying it out as well.
Do you know VCV Rack ? It’s a free virtual modular synth program, it’s great fun for synth based music and sound design.
Ah it’s not particularly a serious game dev server, it was just one of the many passing events on a public trans server. Itchio has a list of currently active game jams and teams if they’re interested in looking there.
And yeah I have heard of VCV, I’m actually doing the hard route and building my own eurorack setup from scratch, like schematic and perfboard kinda scratch so it’s taking a while to get enough experience to make a reliable module (I had about 5 done and dusted when I accidentally exploded them but that’s a story for a different time.)
DIY Eurorack sounds like a lot of fun. Do you design the schematics or find pre-existing ones and recreate them ? As much as I like hardware, I’ve never got into modular because of the cost. I think semi-modular synths and/or vcv is a good compromise, but I’m intrigued by diy modular, I’ve done a bit of diy effect pedals which was fun.
I’ve been using some schematics I’ve dug up from the 90’s internet, most of the hard part is learning the dark magic rituals you need to perform in order to make sense of how the things actually function, it’s very complicated and I was way in over my head when I started, but after a few years of failing a whole lot I’ve gotten somewhere lol

Thanks I’ll check out itchio !

Nice, sounds like lots of fun and trial and error. Hope you get your modular set up, I’m sure it’ll be really rewarding in the end
