What are your top five devices at the moment?
- ID8: I always start with it these days
- Redrum: too lazy to place and route Kongs, I use one Redrum for each sample
- MClass compressor: I do not need more than that mostly
Then I use The Legend and Parsec2 to replace the ID8s.

I really need to add Lectric Panda - Kompulsion, Lectric Panda - Evolution, Reason - Pattern Mutator, Reason - Beatmap, and Tonic Mint - AB Transpose to my list (top 10 players).
Beatmap followed by AutoLatch in a player stack can run non-percussive instruments very nicely.

I shouldn't have said spiders. I didn't mean the Reason "spiders." I meant something like spiderwebs on the back of the rack... like players stacked on top of each other and then a pair of MIDI CV Converter sending the notes to another stack of players across the rack, running another instrument (MIDI CV Converter is basically like a MIDI CV Spider). Ever seen one of Carly/Poohbear's videos? Something like that! You can have a lot of fun doing that sort of thing. I know I always get some really unexpected (and otherwise unimagined) results; Players have helped to further "my" creativity. If I ever have writers block or am tired of coming up with the same old sounding stuff, I start experimenting with different player combinations (combinators?) and it opens up new directions.Jagwah wrote: ↑05 Apr 2021I really don't use the Players much, can you give me a basic example of how you would combine them with spiders as I am not aware of anything like this?challism wrote: ↑05 Apr 2021I've really been into combining and spidering the player devices lately. The instruments and FX change, but these five players seem to find their way into all my projects, these days.

Thanks everyone!!
Yes! Thanks for mentioning this, tonight I tried adding it to a few things and now I'm hooked!Jackjackdaw wrote: ↑05 Apr 2021Pulverizer, my all time favorite for punch and grit. Probably my most used device in RRP.
I know Fritz is really cool but I've never spent enough time with it to allow myself to not be intimidated by it, I just get a mess from it so it collects dust but I know I should love it. I hope to get around to it one day.
Wow nice, thanks for explaining.

I'm the same. That's why I always use the Random Patch Generator. Always. If it didn't have the randomizer I would never buy it.
I find it's a great tool to get some weird background noises, or movement/life in some sounds if you set the wet pretty low.
I know can be a dickish sort of question, but have you read the manual? Not all manuals are helpful, but this one does a great job of breaking down the various functions & how they work. I spent a long time just mashing the randomise button, but then when I finally got around to reading the manual I was really surprised how much it demystified Fritz, and wished I'd read it earlier. There's a lot of cool shit you can do that isn't just berserk noise, especially when you start messing around in Sync mode
The tracks I'm working at the moment all have:
RS' QuadNote Generator (it's an amazing starter for basslines)
RS' Electric Bass
Ekss' WaveMaster
RS' Algoritm
Ekss' SineSynth
On Mastering i make use of Xfer's OTT and Slate's Fresh Air (both free!)

Umph Club Drums (my go-to drum machine, like Redrum 2.0)
SpaceXpander (sometimes this just sounds better than Audiothing Springs)
Saturation Knob (makes drums sound big and tasty)
UVI Percussion Store (essential multi-sampled world percussion)
Klevgrand Skaka (programable percussion which often sounds 95% like actual loops)

Reading the Fritz manual is on my to-do list! I bought it a while ago to use on a delay for realtime guitar processing but never got round to taking the time to learn it.dvdrtldg wrote: ↑06 Apr 2021I know can be a dickish sort of question, but have you read the manual?

They do. Especially if you're new to this stuff and/or don't have any of the 'Mother' range of devices. Not much interest to me, as I have the DFAM. But very cool idea I think.MannequinRaces wrote: ↑07 Apr 2021Those new Moog Sound Studio bundles (DFAM included) look freaking sweet!

And actually if you combine the manual w the randomise you can start a cool random sound and then understand how to dial it in just where you want it.dvdrtldg wrote: ↑06 Apr 2021I know can be a dickish sort of question, but have you read the manual?

There’s all the reverb, selig gain, exciters n stuff...but that just goes on everything so it’s not really worth mentioning.

I’m going through a real Fab phase.
