After it's so incredibly easy to get sucked into the Eurorack maelstrom I really like your minimalistic approach. Just wondering why you don't use something like an Expert Sleepers Disting in your rack
really like the frap tools 321 as a simple utility. my next purchase is a bastl neo trinity as a cv swiss army knife for a super compact 60hp system. for what it's worth my advice for a small system would be to get one or two sound sources you're really interested in (even if they take a little space) and build around it with tiny utility / cv generation modules. If there's no sound source you really want then you can get those super tiny modules.
It is in itself a creative adventure to build a small modular system. Just adding an additional mixer / vca to my system and a 3rd voice and a simple delay like the one from 2hp, would exponentially increase the variety of patches. The examples mentioned would require, say, just 12hp more.
uO_C covers so much, including Cartesian sequencing. And you'll get two such sequencers with the Hemisphere suite! For me at least, a small footprint is in itself the superior option. Unless I'm going to play it like, say, a piano.
I am just begining my Modulur journey. Thanks for a great example of what can be achieved in a small footprint. I am certain like many other money is an issue. It is good to know there are options. Would you ever consider creating a video on the COMPACT EURORACK using the cheapest usable modules you can recoment? Thanks again...subscribed and liked :)
The cheapest possible would require me to buy them all... Hmmm. In this current video I'd say that I use at least some of the cheapest modules out there, e.g. Doepfer Dual S/H, Doepfer Quad Sequential Switch, Doepfer Dual VCA, and for example, Pico VCO is quite cheap as well. Buy the modules of your choice second hand. I always try to do that.
Thanks! Total cost around $1800, and that is still expensive, but this is eurorack, almost every module is by definition boutique. However, adding one or two modules of your particular taste to this system, the possibilities will grow exponentially.
If you're not independently wealthy, but want to experiment with cross-modulating multiple PLLs, etc. I highly recommend Frozen Wasteland's PLL for VCV Rack... free, and has additional comparator methods (coincidence, fuzzy XOR, fuzzy hyperbolic XOR), which can lead to some pretty wild results :D
@@axis_8Description from the FW manual page: Added CV control of the LPF that the 196 did not have Added Pulse Width and Pulse Width Modulation of the internal VCO Generally you want to "listen" to the SQR OUT You'll want to feed a Square-ish wave into Signal In Low LPF FREQ settings create a warbling effect, high = craziness EXTERNAL IN overrides interal VCO The LPF OUT is normalled to the VCO CV, try patching something in between the two Five comparator modes: XOR, D type Flip Flop use different boolean logic. Coincidence is based on which signal is "ahead". Fuzzy XOR and Fuzzy Hyperbolic XOR use logic operators based on work by Lofti Zadeh and hyperbolic parabolas respectively Does not make pretty sounds, but can be a lot of fun.
I am so grateful for this channel. I’m new to eurorack and I often feel too stupid to understand the popular modules, it makes me want to give up. Switches was something I didn’t understand and never explored. My use of modules just replicated what I recognized in fixed architecture synthesizers (which excluded switches and logic modules). Anything I made was just accidental and random without any understanding. But thanks to your video on the Doepfer switch I finally understand. Thank you.
Also, the Linkin Park example is like the magic of music, “feeling” music lets you experience something that the artist shares… like young love. Thank you for sharing.
I'm researching the Lemondrop and stumble upon this fabulous video. Anyone who uses Zappa as an analogy gets a thumbs up and a sub from me... Tremendous!
Practical & technical use-case notes as usual, brother - and the hope that you've been able to keep on truckin' recently, from a _(nee)_ Knudtsen in the USA!
Don't fret! ✌️ It all makes more sense if you remember that every set of 4 permutations requires 20 trigger steps and that those 4 permutations come about using 5 X 4 steps to trigger the quad sequential switch where, crucially, every 5th step is muted, hence resulting in cycling through the four different input sources coming into the sequential switch. The main task of the octal switch is to change the inputs to the sequential switch every 20th step. Hence creating a new set of 4 permutations every 20th step using the method I described initially.
