Alphabase & Overstayer Modular Channel - No Talking

Here's an often requested video with just the Alphabase and the fabulous Overstayer Modular Channel. It's a stereo rack unit with preamps, high/low resonant filters, an EQ, a compressor and a few different types of drive. There are about a thousand ways to drive that thing and it can go from subtle tape distortion to absolute total mayhem & annihilation. It's almost impossible to match levels so this is not your mastering session type demo. It's a creative box and I use it like it.
So, this is a pretty basic video with three different Alphabase drum machine patterns and me tweaking the Modular Channel live while it's sitting on the master insert. Hopefully you'll find sonic bits and pieces that grab your ear in there.

OoraMusic was using a DRM1 into the Modular Channel and that got my initial interest. But now you done gone and moved the Overstayer up to the top of my dang wish list! Bangin’ demonstration using the Alphabase for the source. Literally playing live with those hardcore sound shaping options. Brilliant!

Anybody looking for analogue compression and distortion on their master channel, but don't have a spare 3,200€ - get a second hand Analog Heat (mk1!) from Elektron and the FMR RNC1773. To get the most use out of this compressor use a HPF in the sidechain and run it in parallel with the uncompressed mix, then run that into the Heat. Other options include the OTO BOUM. Great music as always, Lucas! Wonderful demonstration. Thanks!

@LucasMarchal 3 года назад

Thanks ! Yeah plenty of cheaper ways to compress/add warmth to your signals. Elysia plug-in emulations are super good, their 500/rack series too. Soundtoys Decapitator is great too. The Modular Channel really is a thing of its own though. This is the DS version without the mic input btw so a good bit cheaper than the DM version.

@tomoflis5338 Год назад

Im really drooling here watching this video,but i was wondering if i can get good results with analogue heath and bbe maxcom dual chanel compressor (i dont own analogue heath,but i might buying one)

@yurijogurtsov8710 24 дня назад

there's a dozen of cheaper distortion/saturation boxes around, and the Heat is probably the worst choice for mastering. I'd not really recommend it even for tracking, but that's subjective. there's just much more classier units out there. the Overstayer is a different league, and it's much more than a dist.box. arguably, it's cheap for what it does. there's not many boxes in pro audio that can give it all in one machine

@fugue6904 2 года назад

from 7:00 to 7:30 was exactly what I want to hear. I could listen to that going back and forth for a long time,. very nice! I'm hoping it sounds as good on a synth as beats.

@LucasMarchal 2 года назад

It does ! I always run every track through it, synths included.

Whoah!! This is the best Overstayer MC jam I’ve seen. Been a fan of the Overstayer units for ages and finally pulled the trigger and ordered a MC but due to Covid supply chain issues, who knows when it’s going to arrive :-( Please post more videos - absolutely FANTASTIC.

Sick video & gorgeous textures!! Small question - Are you plugged into the XLRs Line IN&OUT? I'm bypassing the EQ somehow..

@LucasMarchal 2 года назад

Thanks ! Yes using the XLR in/out. Are you sure one of the EQ switch isn't down ?

@KareemElMorr 2 года назад

Very nice Demo of the Overstayer... But the new star for me here is the alpha base! Wow what a sound, this is exactly the kind of drum sound i'am searching for. Love the clean and full low-end. I guess you're multi tracking the Alpha Base via your MOTU/RME into Ableton, is there any additional processing happening on the individual tracks or is the sound simply Alpha Base summed in Ableton and back out to the Overstayer?

@LucasMarchal 2 года назад

Thank you ! Yes the Alphabase sounds great! I am indeed multitracking the Alphabase but for this demo it's only summed in Live and ran through the overstayer, no eq or anything on the individual channels. There's a big big demo of the Alphabase coming btw :)

@guilhermerocha1555 3 года назад

How do you use the Modular Channel? Hardwired with Alphabase?

@LucasMarchal 3 года назад

No it's on the master insert of Ableton Live, meaning I have a pair of cables going out from my audio interface into the MC and back into the audio interface. Like a send/return, but 100% wet, for the whole mix.

@mickvdzwan Год назад

Bought a alphabase after seeying uour video's. The overstayer is soooo much fun! Way out of budget. Is the some plugin than will do a bit of this magic weten fiddeling around with my nee alphabase?

@LucasMarchal Год назад

Ableton Drum Buss, Decapitator, there's also a Overstayer MAS plug in which I ear is really good, worth a try !

@mickvdzwan Год назад

@@LucasMarchal tx! The alphabase is much more inviting to 'create' then the Rytm ( have em both ). For me at least. Do you now if i can change the volume of the tracks with midi ( i use the midi channels of my octatrack mainly for the VirusTI2 ).

@joserancel6255 2 года назад

With so many devices is enough the RME UCX? Or you have more input chanel in other pre amps?

@LucasMarchal 2 года назад

No my main interface is a MOTU 16A but it doesn't have preamp, only line input.

@leandrodomingues50 Месяц назад

@@LucasMarchal Do you have both the 16A and UCX connected in any way? I've had in the past a AH ZED r16 connected via ADAT to a old Motu 828, for a total of 24 channels. Just got the UCX II to replace both units since firewire and newer Macs its impossible to use. But still need more line inputs and I hate messing around with patchbays. Right now I'm searching the market for a good quality Ad/Da but they only seems to come in 16in/out and the UCX only has a pair of ADAT, so in theory I can only use more 8in/out. To use additional channels simultaneously would need a UFX 2/3 and a Ferrofish 16, I'm correct? What should I look for? Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks :)

@LucasMarchal Месяц назад

@@leandrodomingues50 my UC is connected via Adat to the 16a yes; so it gives me 8 more inputs. I guess the best option when you need more I/O is the Ferrofish !

@rossadams2193 2 года назад

Hi Lucas, nice demo. Sounds wonderful. I'm looking for a harmonic sound mangler/designer/distorter for field recordings as well as music. I make music out of field recordings all in the box. I want something that can add that always sort after warmth but can work as a sound design tool as well. I checked the Culture Vulture but this Overstayer seems to have more options for shaping sound. Do you ever use it for anything under this sonic umbrella?

@LucasMarchal 2 года назад

I don't use fields recordings, but the Overstayer is probably the most complete / flexible of the character rack units out there. You would get a ton of mileage out of it. It's definitely as much in the sound design realm as the "mastering" realm. I was hesitating between this and the Silver Bullet (there's a mkII now) which seems really nice as well, but less sound design and more of a "make everything sound good" box. BTW if you're into field recordings and techno, a friend recently put out an EP where the only sounds sources are recordings of metal plates, mangled in the DAW; and it's really good : ygam.bandcamp.com/album/acier-leste

@rossadams2193 2 года назад

@@LucasMarchal Great. This was my hunch about Overstayer. Yes, I looked at the LTL and the SSL Fusion. The Overstayer is what I'm looking for. I've ordered one. Gotta wait about 5 months but it'll be worth it. Thanks very much for your response and the link. I shall check. Cheers.

@burger659 Год назад

This or SSL FUSION on the mixbus ?

@LucasMarchal Год назад

Never used a Fusion but the Overstayer is a thousand times more flexible / goes to 11 compared to the Fusion. Wether or not that a good thing for the mixbus is for you to decide.

@albionpatterns3986 3 года назад

To be honest though, it better sound incredible, Its £2900!!

@holografik3327 3 года назад

not surprised at all with the amount of control & possibilities , these type of studio equipment is very expensive usually

@LucasMarchal 3 года назад

I know the initial cost is hard to swallow but for the amount of flexibility and power you get it's quite fair actually. Try to piece together a few 500 modules to barely approximate the functionality and see how much it will cost...
