@9:30 ...Every electronic musician has that moment that they create something so dope that they are no longer in control of themselves and become a dancer to their own music.
You have a nice style. It’s like back playing my parents organ and you hold down the “rock2” preset and the “samba1” preset at the same time then let one go and the rhythm kicks in different. I could do that all day.
This is so incredible! I've seen so many modular vids that weren't interesting to me. This one grabbed me right away. Stands out as being less experimental but so much more engaging than atmospheric dones/pads/etc. It's got a beat and bounce that makes you want to move!
I agree the music actually makes the tutorial part just seem like jamming. Keep them coming and good pointing this little gem out. Seems pretty damn useful.
This module is great when combined with the digitakt 2 euclidean sequencers sending triggers through a midi to cv converter. You can generate a trigger pattern then commit it to the track and edit it which you can't do with eurorack sequencers like the turing machine or marbles.
Awesome! This is basically what I've been trying to turn my turing machine into. You could use a sample & hold to update the pitch only on trigger. The cool thing about modular is that you can often fix the shortcomings of a module with another module.
Me too, Turing machine, mixed with synced lfos and offset to 'control the' spread', plus S&H, with separate pitch and triggers. Although I'm sure this NE module ends up being more than the sum of my parts.
@@RickyTinez It's hard to decide on what task to focus your Eurorack on (unless you want to spend a fortune [you do anyway in modular land] and have a huge wall of modules) - For example I wanted to shift my rack more towards experimental-drone-ambient but after this video I'm hesitating to pull out my "simple bass line"-setup..
I bought a Clep Diaz based on your recommendation. So great, I bought another. This thing has my interest as well, using it as a modulator or using a clock div/mult on the trigger input. But yeah… NE is addicting. Bought a binseq and a newer version BIA. Just awesome stuff.
If you want to lock the note just use a sample & hold ! Honestly, you could emulate what this module does by sending a turing machine to a quantizer through an attenuator and a scaler to change the "height" and the "amplitude" of the sequence and then sample the signal with an S&H. But with modular the possibilities are so vast, mix an lfo or noise to the sequence, or another sequence with a different clock and number of steps. If you quantize and S&H, you will always get something musically and rhythmically relevant (sampling a sequence with a rhythmical gate is kinda like a rhythm quantizer if you think about it) Anyway, that's probably my favourite thing to do with modular !
I love how I'm kind of in sync with your inspiration cycle. I've been jamming with the desktop synths for a while now and just started touching my modular again this week. Wallet's empty, but I can always recreate some of this with what I've got.
This is a must have module, NE nails it again! I'm surprised it does not sample and hold pitch on the trigger or have the option but a sample and hold module solves that. Sliding pitches can be fun too.
haha! Yea there are some older modules that kiiinnddddaaaa do something like this but to me this is the best there is for the "random sequence generator" that you can loop. I mean it's got 4 of them! c'mon!
Duuuuuuuude i havent seen you in ages. Whybdoes my algorithm kick some of my favs out for wierd periods of time? Imbglad it brought you back. Gotta fav your page. Great work as usual bud!
@RickyTinez actually I've learned a huge chunk of my synth knowledge and analog sample knowledge from your channel. I'm pretty clueless with modular. Maybe its time to learn! 😉😎
Dope stuff. I am doing a similar thing with CVilization in mode 3 .. it has a normaled noise to the CV recorder and quantizer. I just dice until it clicks and then let it evolve by itself
Tight! One day I will explore the deep, deep rabbit hole of modular, but until then I will make do with listening to mad scientists like you killing it. Keep up the good work, fella, knobmongus.
If you route the pitch through a sample and hold after the gamut and your trigger into both the gamut and the s&h you can kill those note tails.This module looks killer tho.
@@RickyTinez The case I put it in has Warp, Rosci and Algo. Haven't actually turned it on yet because I spent a lot of time figuring out what things to swap out to fit the Gamut and Rosci, which is also newly arrived. Will play this evening after dinner though!
Ricky, I watched another video that was talking about the inputs being sound sources (pitch?)... But yours is the sequence or trig - from Steppy.... and that makes more sense... I still don't quite understand the whole thing....
Huh, I basically made this module in Droid. I recreated mimetic and added these same features because they were there, so I have the combo of the 2 with the save, etc. I like this version from NE better as I don’t use Mimetic as much anymore. It needed to many attenuators, which Droid adds basically for free.
Dope basslines! To fix the gliding pitch issue, I think you have enough space for a 1u sample and hold. Just send the pitch cv and triggers to the sample and hold
Couldn't you use a sample and hold module to get rid of that pitch sliding effect? There are probably some 1u modules small enough to fit in the setup you already have
Seen you say something about using your old techniques (1:04) and thought you meant a pair of 1200's cuz too many people been pronouncing the name wrong and this was a perfect example of that.
Great module. If only it had the ability to save. I gotta say the Clank Chaos still does it for me. Wonder if you’ve tried it, Ricky. Does all this and more. Love your videos! Keep em comin!
The manual states that the trigger outputs can be switched from passthrough mode to rhythm generation mode by holding down the reset button. Does that change the behaviour of the CV outputs in terms of sampling/holding the value?
Can someone tell me what’s the pads sound in the background bc I’m always trying to get this sound but it never be this perfect so if someone can tell me it’s would be helpful Thanks
So many sequencers decouple pitch and trigger so i get new pitches on every clock pulse, even when theres no trigger. Its annoying as hell and i always have to slap a S&H in there.
