A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

To anyone that might be interested in this you should check out VCV rack. It's a free software emulation of modular euroracks. They even have software recreations of classic modules that would be considered standard for most racks.

Obviously this route lacks the major aspect of physical interaction and feedback which many say is a large component in there enjoyment of the hobby but you can still learn all the basic and experiment to find out if it's something that grabs your interests.

Fair warning: If you do catch the bug there will be a point in time where you start trying to justify spending $400 on a single LFO module. This is normal. Don't be afraid.
