Getting into the ER 101 - Episode 1 

Cheers dude, that's exactly how I was hoping people would feel about it! Looking forward to it too. There's lots to cover!

Just realised I forgot to mention the clock divide/multiply in the second video, sorry about that! Will go over it soon.

no built in clock?

@@mamakuproject no, it must be clocked from outside source.

you probably dont care at all but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

Thank you! I'm fairly certain it would have been Pamela's New Workout - highly recommended for all your clocking needs. 24PPQN is a common speed to sync on anyway, so lots of other modules can output it too.

Aha ok , not sure if my Teletype reaches and my Trigger riot only goes up to 250 bpm , so I am kinda wondering why this superhigh clock is necesary when multiplications of a slower clock might do the same (I could be wrong)

@@endless_arps A quick look in the trigger riot manual does suggest it can output 24PPQN - this is the speed used for DIN sync as well. I'm not totally sure about the Teletype but I'd be quite surprised if it couldn't. It also sounds like you are confusing BPM with PPQN - the former is a measure of tempo and the latter of a division of the given tempo. Well, a multiplication, technically I guess. In the video my Pam's was set to 120BPM. The output was set so that every quarter note, 24 pulses of the clock were sent. That is still 120BPM, just synced at a higher rate. I could increase the tempo to 140BPM and the sync'd clock would speed up too, but it would still be 24 pulses per quarter note. You don't want to have to turn the tempo on your trigger riot right up to use the 101, with the triggers all going faster, you want them the same, you just want the multiplied clock sent out to sync on. All that being said, you can clock the ER-101 at any speed you want - it's just that clock speed will be your lowest timing resolution (excepting som things you can do with the 102). I clocked at 24PPQN so I also set duration of notes to 24 if I wanted a quarter note, 12 for an eigth note, 6 for a sixteenth, etc. The gate lengths will be measured in this too. So for 50% gates of 16th notes, the gate setting is 3. You can do triplets by setting the duration to 8, and so on. This is why I find the faster clock rates more flexible on the ER-101. Hope that helps!

@@SeqBeat Thanks very much to explain everything even if it supposes to be basic knowledge! I did think I understood the 24 pulses per quarter note concept , but I must have a few things twisted around. Will have to take a good look at the manuals and learn my multiplications and divisions , And I love reading manuals actualy , but again didn't look it up in the trigger riot 🤭!! Anyway 🙏 Thanks

@@endless_arps No problem! Clocking is a major subject in eurorack really, getting everything to sync correctly and reset and also maintain swing and stuff like that can be really difficult. Just not talked about too often - a tutorial video on that one day sounds like a good idea.

I hear you, will work on this 👍

tonymasiello Yes, it’s possible with the ER-102 and the groups, which can do non-destructive math operations that get recalculated every step. They are actually my favourite feature and I’m really looking forward to covering them in depth in future videos. My release schedule is totally behind at the moment but I’ll get there eventually.

@@SeqBeat thank you for the quick reply. I still need to watch your other videos, but will look forward to when you cover the 102.

When you say external, do you mean external to the modular? You could use CV B to control a VCA to attenuate the audio send going to the delay unit. (Remember also with external gear you will have to use something to bring it line level, because euro voltages are much hotter). Or if you have a CV-able eurorack delay then CV-B could go to the delay amount directly. The delay I sometimes use in the videos is a Strymon Magneto, but I'm just controlling the send amount manually.

@@SeqBeat i meant with a modular delay, thanks !

@@viandantefiorentino No problem :). Yeah, you could still use the VCA approach, if you have a mixing quad VCA like Mutable Veils or ALM Tangle Quartet etc then you could use it as a send mixer for the four voices controlled by the 101. Mult each voice into it and send that to the delay, and each CV B controls the mix amount and hence the delay send amount. Or you could use one CV-B or channel to control the global amount on the delay module directly.

I must admit it is! Thanks for the approval man, means a lot - as mentioned it was your video series that inspired me. Keep up the awesome work :)
