Hello there and friendly greetings! Great tutorial! Also, for some reasons, this video made me ponder about one of my biggest limit in patching and exploring: I am almost "scared to dare" because something in my brain is wired (pun intended 😄) with some boundaries because of which I often find it difficult to think outside the box (and use, for example, an ADSR to modulate a low-pass filter). The fun part is that once I dare to move away from the "beaten tracks" I discover literally new worlds, like in a fractal musical prysm. Maybe that could be caused by the fact that so far I am only using softwares to build my patches and the software I use got thousands (literally. I'm not even kidding) free modules that emulate nearly every hardware modules around. Too many possibilities lead me to some sort of creative empasse and watching your videos every time remind me how, maybe, it's not really the gear that makes the composition "right", it's how you use it and the stories you can create with it (yes, that video also is seminal for me!). And sorry for yet another textwall! Have a great weekend! 👍

Your channel is a goldmine! I never would have thought about these possibilities. Thanks for the inspiration 👍👍

Sick! I feel so silly that I didn't realize before how complex sequences can be realized without a sequencer... 🤦 I may ditch my sequencer soon to make room for additional switches and mixers!

the waveshaper trick is absolutely jawdropping 😮

Thanks 4 the inspiration, cool, I swapped the mixer for a matrix mixer, so jou have a lot of voltage sources, I klokt it all with Pamela, peace

This is real talk the best YT channel on modular. Thanks so much much for the work you put in to these videos 🙏🏼

Excellent video! I especially like your pacing and how you leave the overlays up long enough to actually read them! It's worth noting that if you have a Subharmonicon, you can do a lot of what's presented here with a couple of utility modules added.

Happy to see people talking about modular sequencing!

A lot of super cool tips and tricks! Thank you so much!

Doepfer A-151 is a gem of a module. I just got A-134-2 as well. Gotta try these techniques more in depht with my 4ms RCD. Thanks for the inspiring video!

Great video man! I like your voice, very calming.

If you have a quad offset generator and a bidirectional switch such as the Doepfer, you can save the mixer in most of these patches and put the 4 offsets into the 4 switch inputs and patch the switch output directly to the quantizer. I use the intellijel quadratt and the Doepfer sequential switch for this. The quadratt sends out offset voltages when unpatched, but single steps can also easily be patched with other sources like sample and hold or LFOs to override the offset and add variation as you described in the video.

I like to use a 4 step shift register as an intermediate module. So a slow clock division pushes new notes to the shift register. Then a much faster division clocking a sequential switch that switches between the four outputs of the shift register. That way you get a repeating pattern that updates every N repeats, there is always continuity because each time the ASR updates, you get one new note, lose a note, but the other three remain, just in a different order. You can still do all the other fun stuff like modulating clock rates, switching between sources etc. I like feeding it with random sources, or from a pre-programmed pool of notes in a sequencer...

This is great. I use these concepts but haven't pushed them as far as what you've demoed. I just discovered that a S/H signal can be used to control morph position on the Joranalogue Morph 4, turning it into a four step sequencer with tons of variation from level and position. Try it out. Pretty sure you'll like it a lot :)

Nice!!!

Great tips and tricks again. Great stuff! 😎

Great video. Letting the box run itself.

Great! 👍

If you like analog delays, make sure you try Xaoc Sarajewo, clock sync, hi and low feedbacks and is capable to make really long delays (for BBD). Anyway I like to use slew limiters to create sequences/complex arps, for example I patch like 4 step sequence to slew limiter. Then changing slew amount and slew type from linear to exponential to get variations.

Great stuff. Simple yet deep. Appreciate the super clear breakdown. Goons have to get patching…

Yes yes yes more like this

Great ideas, and I want to wrap my head around them. Do you have this rack on modular grid? It’d be great to look at what’s there, coz it’s impressive to me to see/hear how you get such great patches out of what you have.

Awesome vid. My favorite way of cooking up sequences.

Excellent! A lot of neat ideas! I typically (basically) go Gates>Mixer>Polarizer/Offset>Quantizer. Regarding "skipped" gate input resulting in the base note: You can go: Duplicate of Gate Pattern>Envelope>Post-voice VCA. Then rather than constant rhythm you get rests in the output where the base notes would otherwise sound. Also handy if you want more than one voice sounding different portions of the same sequence.

For a quick generative sequencer, I like using a combo of shift register + XOR + DAC/R2R ladder (but you could easily use a mixer for that last bit). It's a relatively inexpensive solution, won't take up much space and you can patch all sorts of things with it, from turing machines to runglers and even noise. You can: adjust the length of the sequence by choosing the taps from the shift register; use them as a random gate generator; slew the output for a smooth modulation source and more. There are modules that offer that all in one package, like Ritual Electronics Amnis, Nonlinearcircuits Stochaos etc.

More than sound design, ambient or other typical modular pursuits, complex sequencing has always been what I found most interesting about having access to CV

Pretty awesome video, thank you.

Hello everyone! I got some questions about a quick custom sequencer setup on my basic system, so thought I'd dive a bit deeper and tell the full story in a patch-packed video :) Cheers!

If anyone is on the fence about this one, get it. It sounds incredible and is so easy to get great sounds from even without a lot of modulation. But if you do have a Batumi or Zadar it really comes alive. One of my favorite analog oscillators, it’s exceeded my expectations.

Nice

Fantastic demonstration. Thanks

Amazing video dude, just picked this up the other day and has helped me tremendously, just wanna say I really appreciate all your videos, they have helped me so much on my modular journey, I would say you make the best tutorial videos out of anyone

A stupid question: at 13:27 what signals is the sequential switch exactly switching? if its only the clock isnt it just acting as a clock divider? i dont get this. please eloborate me, i want to learn what is going on there, the rest of the patch(es) is logical for me and easy understandable.

I wish this video existed when I got into modular in 2018 lol. Would have saved me a lot of inept flailing.

just got mine today! can't wait to play with it

Very nice, but the flow charts are not standardized as to signal, control and logic.

Hehe, had no idea that you're Dutch speaking.

It’s on back order at Perfect Circuit for now but I look forward to getting my hands on one.

Niiiice

Very cool. Love the diagrams. You’re one of the best modular educators on UA-cam. I wish more people used diagrams.

I have browsed so much of the eurorack space on UA-cam, and it's hard to find a channel that will dive into technical explanations complex patching techniques as opposed to showing off more and more gear that a newbie like me feels like they need due to lacking knowledge on how to make patches with the stuff they already have. Thank you so much for these videos and those clean diagrams you show in them.

The world of audio is magic

Another fantastic video 👏 Best instructive videos on modular out there. Keep up the good work ❤

You always give so much to work on in a video, thank you for keeping us off the streets at night ;-)

Thanks for this very interesting video ! I have Batumi & Zadar. I think these two modules are the bests lfo’s and envelopes (in 10te size of course..). Your exemples are simple to do at home, even for novices (who can understood differents behaviours when you trigger a VCO, a filter etc..)… Good job my friend ! 10/10

Your work is unbelievable talented! Really good work.

Another great video on how to actually, actually use the gear. I love it!

💎💎

I've watched a bunch of your videos and this is one of my favorites. It's so great to see the theory linked to practice and also watch how you actually *play* your instrument over some minutes.

My friend sent me a link to an older video where you explained how to make complex oscillators. Since then I've been watching you videos and picking up all kinds of useful hints. Your small case video made me realize my single Att/Verter was not enough and now I am on the hunt for my ideal unit. I think the DPW Av1 or 2 will win out because it has a sum and a A>B comparator logic in it. Do you discuss comparators in any of your videos? Like all your videos, I watched and made mental notes, but I will be back to review again later. Thanks, Griff
