Generative Patching 4.1: Intro to Mutable Instruments' Marbles 

I was the same way! It took me weeks to get my head wrapped around it, but once I did, I was like "well, dude, why was that so hard?" :-)

@@LearningModular Fantastic module,one of the most clever ever!! (4me)

Yes - on this channel, and also online courses through courses.learningmodular.com and patreon.com/learningmodular.

I'm pretty sure it was a Mutable Instruments Rings (the pluck) and a Qu-Bit Surface (the more metallic, almost electric piano strike).

His courses are great. You'll get enough info on core concepts there to figure all that stuff out for yourself!

Thanks! Fixed now - RU-vid thought the ; at the end should have been part of the link, when it shouldn't. Correct link is www.patreon.com/posts/50069929

The T outputs are triggers. The X outputs are the random voltages, that change at the same time as the matching trigger outputs. If you're getting just a single note on repeat, make sure that the Spread and Length controls are not full CCW. The video above demonstrates Spread (plus Bias;, they interact). The other videos in the series (for Patreon subscribers) show some applications for the T and X outputs.

@@LearningModular yes what (and I admit a lot of this is due to overwhelm) find hard to recall is - if I want to play my plaits rings and disting ex - or just the disting in multisample mode (yes I got over excited 😫😂) is it just then a case of T in gates X into cv? Dumb I know but I get v confused and hyper focus myself into stress like any good old fashioned adhd sort. If your patreon can show me how to modular in a way my head can process sign me up already!!

Ps many thanks!!

@@LordoftheBadgers yes- T to trigger in; X to pitch CV in if your goal is random melodies. You might want to try one month of my Patreon channel at the "12v" ($12/month) level, as this will give you access to all of my articles plus my Eurorack online courses, and see if they explain things in a way that works for you. If they absolutely do not work for you, message me through Patreon and I'll even refund your month. The following link is to all of the articles currently on Patreon; there will also be subscribe buttons along the right side: www.patreon.com/posts/learning-modular-23481757

@@LearningModular wow that's fabulous thank you

No. Marbles only outputs CVs and trigger signals. You pass those CVs and signals to other modules to control other them. e.g. you can connect X3 to an oscillator to random the pitch/frequency.

@@Noyy ah right ok. Thank you.

@@Noyy correct I use Plaits into Rings then send to Marbles.

It took me almost a week of concentrated patching to learn it (usually I can figure out a module in a day or even an hour). But it was worth it. I also stayed away from the more advanced or "hidden" features, and focus on it as a source of triggers and controllable random modulation voltages.
