Today we’re having a look at the Happy Nerding 3X MIA, and it’s functions: Mixing, attenuating, inverting and offset generation. In a beginner friendly way Ill quickly explain how the 3X MIA works, and then we’ll go over each of these four functions in more detail with some patch-tricks along the way. Using mixing to create complex control voltages, inverting for more performance flexibility, offset to control your signal in detail, and much more.
Here’s the timetable:
00:00 - Intro
00:29 - 3X MIA overview
02:12 - Mixing
05:57 - Attenuating
07:19 - Inverting
09:16 - Offset
This is a brand new channel and project for me! In this video I experiment with block-diagram illustrations to visualize basic patches, instead of using my modules.

Your channel is like Eurorack University! Most channels use the terminology but rarely, if ever, explain what those terms mean (let alone show diagrams). It will take me days to go through each video but I'm learning so much. I can't thank you enough.

@MonotrailTechTalk 3 года назад

Eurorack University, love the sound of that :) Thanks for the apreciation, nice comments really makes doing this worth it! One of my bigger plans for this year is to make a beginner friendly "modular 101" series, covering all the basics, from oscillator, filter etc, to modulation and patching. Anyway, you're more than welcome!

@NICUofficial 2 года назад

"invert a trigger signal, then offset it back into positive range" LOL - the concepts that I NEVER would have thought about when I first started in Eurorack that are now starting to make sense to me (and even can imagine simple use cases). I only got there because I listened to channels like yours for the past 1-2 years. thanks for the educational content and cool sounds :)

This video makes me think I need another 3XMIA or two between my two cases. It's so powerful for such a small footprint, and despite its size doesn't feel too cramped. Even though I still have a bunch of hp left to play around with, having a bunch of mixers/offsets goes a long way to keeping everything interesting and playable/explorable.

Just stumbled across your videos and I've found them very refreshing for someone who has been into modular for many years as it's explaining all the things that make modular exciting. Too many videos are just about showing off the latest all in one modular and many users don't actually know about some of these basic but very powerful options of modular synthesis because we're spoit for choice these days. Fundamental stuff imho. Subscribed.

@MonotrailTechTalk 2 года назад

Glad to hear it, thanks! And I agree, for sure there are exciting powerful modules that are basicly an intere synth that are great. But always love the aproach of building complexity with basic, hand-patched signals. I'm working on a full introduction to modular series!

This is possibly my favorite module of all time! If it breaks, I'd order another without a thought, that's pretty rare with a the options out there these days. Hope the video helps a bit. In any case I'd say it's easy to start using it. Mix two signals, adjust the strength of a signal. From there you will find the need for more, and then find it can handle all of it :)

Attenuverter vs Invertebrator

@Mromain148 2 года назад

Hey, thanks a lot for your videos, I have a hard time understanding the difference between mixing 2 modulations with like the 3xmia or "mixing" these 2 modulations with a vca / polarizer (one modulating the other) Thanks in advance !

@MonotrailTechTalk 2 года назад

Hello! That's hard to explain without a proper visual, but let's try! Imagine you have two sine wave LFO's, lets call them A - a fast audio rate one, and B - a slow moving one. When you mix two signals together, the result is the sum of both signals. They are added up. In our example, if you mix A and B and listen to it, you will hear a steady tone of audiorate LFO A. If you look at this on a scope, you will see signal A, the fast audio rate LFO, move slowly up and down relative to the center because signal B, the slow LFO is added to it. The amplitude of signal A will stay the same. When you send A to a VCA, and B to the cv input of that VCA, the signals are not mixed at all. In this case B is determining the amount of signal A passing through the VCA. So if you listen to this you would hear audio rate LFO A go up and down in volume with the speed of B, but if you look at this on the scope signal A would be steady around the center, changing in amplitude.

@nth7485 3 года назад

Very pedagogical. Well done. One question: does the 3x MIA have a notch in the middle for the knobs, so you know when it is set to zero?

@MonotrailTechTalk 3 года назад

Haha, thanks! Hopefully not to much? This is all pretty new to me, still looking to relax more on camera and find the right speed and tone. Anyway, it does not. It's a bit of a shame in my opinion, because that would make it easyer to find the zero point for audio and cv, although with cv, that works fine without. Cheers!

@JeremyWWWWW 3 года назад

@@MonotrailTechTalk I think the lack of a center indent is a pretty serious omission. For a great alternate solution, check this out. intellijel.com/shop/eurorack/1u/quadratt-1u/ Being able to throw a switch and turn the attenuverter into a simple attenuator allows absolute certainty of where zero is.

@PspiralifeTutorials 3 года назад

Very nice. I was wondering if you could help me understand the better choice between the MIA and the frap tools 321? Thanks for your top quality video!

@MonotrailTechTalk 3 года назад

Thanks! I actually have no experience with the Fraptools 321, so dont take my word as final advise, but recently read up on it. The biggest difference to me: The MIA has a lot more mixing power. It can be three 2:1 mixers, up to one 6:1. The Fraptools can only do 2:1 or 3:1 if im right. On the other hand the knobs on the MIA are always attenuverters, wich makes it hard to find the zero point, wich can be anoying for mixing audio. The Fratools you can choose, normal or inverted output, so easyer to find to zero spot in performances and so on. When it comes to attenuating + adding offset they are very similar.

I know your busy I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my messages, Buen Camino

@MonotrailTechTalk 3 года назад

No worries happy to help if I can. And that sounds like a nice setup! As long as you use the power cables for the modules properly you wont damage them :) And a lot of choices when it comes to interfaces and mixer, to much to mention all. It really depends on what you're after. When you like to multitrack the modular, and or other instruments it's worth it to look at an interface with multiple inputs. You could record directly to an interface that way. Or use a mixer to mix the signals, so you can easily use the EQ and or effects sends, which is nice to look into. Then you have mixers that work as interfaces as well, which is a really interesting option these days. You can just plug the modular or other gear in the mixer, and multitrack that via usb or something!

@distorson 5 месяцев назад

10:48 so what is shown on the diagram attenuating a signal and mixing it with an offset can be done with one channel in MIA right? I just need to leave the second input unpatched to have the 5V offset available.

@MonotrailTechTalk 5 месяцев назад

Exactly! The fact that MIA has 3 channels, each able to perform that trick, or mix two external signals makes it very powerful :)

I know this is an old video but im stuck between this and the 4x mix, is the 3x mia able to do stereo mixing?

@MonotrailTechTalk Год назад

Hi there! You can use 2 channels of mia to mix two stereo signals. The MIA is the better CV tool, does also offset, inverting etc. 4X mix is the better stereo mixer :)

@mage2k 3 года назад

How does the 3x MIA handle mixing audio and DC signals, e.g. and audio signal to input A and both A and B knob?

@MonotrailTechTalk 3 года назад

Hey, I don't fully get the second part of your question. But the Mia can handle both audio and CV. For audio though it's not ideal, because all inputs have attenuverters, without a center dent. So it's not so easy to fully mute a signal with the knobs.

@mage2k 3 года назад

@@MonotrailTechTalk Sorry, what I mean is if you input an audio signal into an A input and then add an offset or DC signal it's paired B input, does it shift the entire audio signal from A up/down? I get the "hard to hit zero for audio attenuation" part, much like channles 2 & 3 on Maths.

@MonotrailTechTalk 3 года назад

Ha get it now, yes it works like that indeed. You can use the offset to move the audio up and down. It's easy to make it clip that way though. But say you use A for audio, you can use that knob to attenuate the audio a bit, then use B to add offset and bring the entire audio into the positive voltage range for eample.

@LazarusGordon 3 года назад

can you explain how to patch this module to use for offset? you say if nothing is connected to the input it works as offset generator... so what you connect to the module and where?

@MonotrailTechTalk 3 года назад

Hi! So the 3xMIA has three identical parts, each with two input and one sum output jack. Each of the inputs and the attenuverter connected to it becomes an offset generator if you dont patch anything into it. You can dial in the amount of offset with the knob for that jack, up to 5v. Then you can send it anywhere you like. I often send it to my Make Noise LxD for example. A low pass gate without any knobs, this way I can use the offset control from the MIA to open the Gate by hand.

I'm trying to move a CV pitch sequence up and down automatically in key. For example, using a gate/trig/CV signal to move a pitch sequence from it's original "C" up a 4th to "F" for 16 bars, then up automatically again to "G" for 8 bars, then down again to the original "C." I don't want to manually twist a knob to accomplish this, I want the rack to do it. Anyone have ideas on how to achieve this using specific modules and patches?

@MonotrailTechTalk Месяц назад

If you want to transpose in key, the best way is to mess around with signals, and then run them through a quantizer. You can just mix a sequence, with a gate (for example from a clock divider), and then run it through a quantizer. Some sequencers also have the possibility to transpose in key directly.

Why did you choose to put the MIA in your small case rather than one of the intellijel Triplatts that you also have? Similar functionality?

Hi there! Similar, but not the same. Most important difference is that the MIA can be 3 independant 2:1 mixers. Al with attunverters. So a lot more ways to mix audio and cv in different ways.

All regular jacks in modular land are mono outputs, with a pretty hot signal, and so are the ones on the MIA. Of course you can attenuate the signal, but it will still be mono. For headphones a dedicated stereo out is your best bet.

What do you think about the Intellijel Triplatt opposed to the 3xmia ??? Would love to know your thoughts as I’m tossing up between the two

@MonotrailTechTalk Месяц назад

Hi there! I prefer the 3x Mia for all things with control voltages. The 6 pots and inputs, combined with it being 3x a 2:1 mixer (or other configurations) it can just handle a lot more patches than competitors. On the other side, the MIA has 6 bipolar control knobs, without switches or a clear 'center point'. This is not so much a problem for CV, but when mixing audio it's pretty hard to turn audio off. The Triplatt solves this by using a switch. In short I'd say 3xMIA is king for CV, price, and footprint. If mixing audio is a big deal to you, space and price is less relevant, Triplatt and another cv tool can be a good option as well. There are quite some options from different makes. Make sure to check the manuals for the little differences! (I can be wrong about things as well :)
