I have an 8 channel bus made out of 2.5m of unbalanced multicore going
from a patchbay to a 1U panel on my modular. This has proven invaluable
for several reasons:
• no more cables (hm, fewer..) pulled across the studio from the
modular to my patchbay.
• the routing is flexible I can get to/from mixer/modular ∗real∗ quick.
i.e. take a send from the console patch it to the bus, patch out of the
bus to a filter etc. back into the bus and then into a channel on the
mixer.
• as I have a few monosynths perched on/around my modular I use this
bus as their I/O as well. Makes for easier integration of
monosynth-modular fun.
• I start to think of my modular as a real extension to my mix
environment rather than an extra device. I've even started using
patches as inserts on channels.
I suppose these things are obvious to most folks but they were a
quantum leap for my productivity and modular use.
