There's an absolute wealth of info & possibilities to explore in the video so thanks! One thing not clear - because not visible - what is the daisy chain sequence that connects the underside of the modules? Presumably any chain should begin with the Drezno, but then what? For example, wouldn't you get different results masking or inverting bits either before or after a Jena transformation?
There are three separate chains in this video (each one is explained before the relevant patches): 1. Drezno into Gera into Rostock, through Poczdam and back to Drezno. / 2. Berlin into Jena, through Poczdam and back into Berlin. / 3. Lipsk into Erfurt (not connected to anything else). So they're not all connected to each other in one big chain (and not every chain has to begin and end with Drezno - you can use Berlin as the start and end, or use Erfurt and Lipsk standalone). And yes, you'd get different results masking or inverting bits before or after Jena. There's not really a 'one size fits all' configuration for these modules, it completely depends on what you want to achieve with them :)
Like hearing the sounds, but really like seeing how the motorized knobs actually help make the morphing easier to understand. Great work by The Unperson as usual! Thanks for having him on the channel!
I’ve just bought my first two Leibniz modules- Erfurt and Lipsk. I can’t remember when I’d had so much modular fun as I did with just Erfurt, 3xMIA and a VCO. Lipsk makes an interesting addition. However, I shall probably have to get my head around Drezno next…
ohno..... my poor wallet...... seriously though, amazing vid that ACTUALLY helped me understand these better!!! amazing system, it makes me invision a case with a few extra modules, and oh dear.... my poor wallet, i knew thee well......
This and the utilities unit will be my 2025 purchase! It has been a while since I was excited about a drum machine. A Patch programmable percussion powerhouse, Pulsar is.. I cannot wait!!!
I'd humbly suggest that you use different colored cables for input and output - in your Drezno patch, you've got two orange cables going between Drezno and Data, so it was hard to figure out visually where the input was coming from, especially since I'm not familiar with the panel on Batumi. Also: Hi! I like ADCs as a source of gates for deterministic algorithmic music.
I recall LooPop threatening to do this a while back… Anyway, not for me- though I should admit to having three Mk IVs and a single EX. That’s probably enough.
I was struggling to find a second tempo-synced delay module when I lit upon the Mk IV’s K6 algo. It’s now my other go-to delay, after the Mimeophon- but imagine my disappointment when I found that K6 had been sacked from the EX. Looks like I’m going to need a third Mk IV…
Why is your core BPM slightly drifting in the section about elastic BPM? You can see the decimals fluctuating. Are you slightly modulating it, or is the BPM slaved to another midi device?
@@G0nz0uk I think it was effectively set to C, yes - although you don't specify an actual root note in those terms in the algorithm itself as it's kinda arbitrary, i.e. it depends entirely on how the destination VCO is tuned. There's a transpose parameter so you can use that in conjunction with the tuning of your VCO to set whatever you want the root to be.
Actually turned a meme into a real modular. Haha. It sounds pretty good! The useability is a bit lacking but then it would force you to truly master the disting.
Always something to be said for doing something simply because you can! This could probably make some wild sounds with a bit of work. I made a patch using 9 ALM MFX, but that was much cheaper when you only use software modular, haha. Chucking 16 Rings in a patch is usually worth a try too, can't see much benefit to this approach with hardware though 😂
