    What is that nearly unreadable typeface for the logo? Is that supposed to look like a street tag or something? If so, I don’t get the relationship to modular. Are street tags still a thing?

    A style of artwork by Jakob I imagine? It brought some memories from youth seeing that style on the app for sure. Never got up though as I’m petrified of heights nor was I anu amount of artistically creative enough to do so that street style graffiti. I thought it was dope

    I’m familiar with it. Not a fan of that style. Never got into it when it was popular back in the day. Too cryptic.

    Though, still not sure how street tag style art would relate to this app, but it doesn’t really matter. Just curious why they chose something that difficult to read as the logo.

    I think Jakob used something like that on his collab with Kai Aras on Agonizer. I didn’t care for it there either, and noticed the Agonizer logo has now been changed to a more readable, clean logo.

    I assumed it was meant to look as if it was made of blobs of solder (as on a circuit board)?

    We have a winner, I believe.

    I like the logo a lot. I can look at the window header or open AUBE if I need to remember the title, It's also considerably easier to read than half the tags i've seen in my life, so they were kind to the older eyes imo :D

    I just thought it was supposed to look like Graffiti (is “street tag” slang for graffiti?)

    I believe a street tag, while also graffiti, is usually a word or a graphic signature.

    The style and mimicking soldering now makes sense, but I still think it could be tweaked a bit more for better readability

    @Edward_Alexander ; @offbrands is correct. A tag is a type of graffiti centered around quick to spray "tags" displaying your name or your crew. Often single color, Not necessarily in hard to reach places, but that certainly helps.

  • yellow_eyezyellow_eyez

    (A tag is your sign/name)

    Still trying to figure what the relationship between the patch cabling and synth parameters are. But Jakob said they are wired behind the scenes anyway right ?

    To be honest, wasn’t initially interested in this for my own use… until I read about the generative, mutation, etc. possibilities of the pulse sequencer section of the manual.

    It looks like it can do the stuff I wanted to play with in miRack, with only a fraction of the fuss and without all the extra complicated patching. Is that a correct assessment?

    Does Mozaic come with any modular modules(kek)?

    Yes. People who deface property with graffiti were called “taggers”. That moniker may have changed, but it’s what they used to call them back in the 90’s I think. Unless I’m mistaken, I think they used to say “bomber” back in the 80’s.

    Aha... found this. Because of course there's a collection of all of the terms here.

    Doesn't it suck being the type that has to understand the logic behind everything?? I'm so bad that way! 😂

    I feel so bad for my family members who are primarily feeling driven and have to live with me pestering them about the logic behind they do things all the time. It cracks me up how much better I feel if I think I've found out why something is the way it is. 🙄

    No. It's not that kind of thing.

    It's a scripting workshop for making midi processors. You can write scripts in it that do things like alter midi coming through it in custom ways or generate midi, though generative midi would require some pretty advanced coding skill. It has no modules or reusable components of itself, but there are many available scripts that you can chain together as separate instances. I suppose you could think of those as "modules" if you like.

    The file size of the plugin should be as small as a full-featured AUv3 can possibly be. What file size issue are you experiencing?

    side note... it's incredible how small you're able to keep these deep and full-function apps that also have decent graphics. I had to do a double-take when I saw how small the file is!

  • pedropedro

    There’s nothing to blame regarding all of Brams’s apps file size. They’re all mint.

    That's 100% DIY graffiti style. And consider the name - Solder box, implying that it's a DIY build of soldered parts in a box, just like his DIY modular synth.

  • pedropedro

    I find the tag cute. As for it still being a thing, do you guys live in any city?

    Having fun exploring this and appreciate the opinionated design.

    My main feedback would be to mirror others comments ref the patch cables obscuring the patch bay labelling all too easily (even with a small number of cables). Plus, I find the wave folding to be far too tame for my tastes. But, I'm comparing with the likes of Pittsburg Modular here, with both their diminutive (in partnership with Cre8audio) West Pest, and it's bigger and bolder siblings the desktop and keyboard variants of the Taiga. And of course the daddies of them all, the various Buchla/Serge flavours of wave folding/timbre modules.

    In the land of VCV/miRack/Softube Modular, there are plenty of examples of digital wave folding at the more raucous end of the scale, so it would be nice to see Solder Box being a little bolder in this regard.

    Back on the subject of patch cables obscuring the patch labelling, I've always liked having control over the opacity of the cables in combination with a more svelte design.

    Things I really like. The LPF drive circuit is organic, rounded and warm. And the EG easily gets into Make Noise Maths territory, which offers an alternative approach to getting decent plucky/slappy results. I also really like the PulseSequencer, which compares well with the Buchla Easel approach to Pulse Sequencing.

  • pedropedro

    Re: cable opacity maybe cables could be made transparent when we’re dragging a connection. No idea how much of a burden that would be developing, just a thought

  • jonmoorejonmoore

    This was probably the best of the Pittsburgh Modular Taiga videos, (from the ever reliable Loopop, who really understood what the unique architecture was capable of). I think this makes for good inspiration ref Solder Box, as the architecture shares a reasonable amount of commonalities.

    But most of all, it's a show 'n tell ref the great mix of the west/east coast tools, which, at their core, springboard into "outta-space" via the Tiaga's awesome wave folding oscillators.

    Unfortunately the update is still not working on my MacBook Pro, doesn’t open in standalone or as a plugin. Updated, reinstalled, rebooted etc.
