Make Noise Tempi Eurorack Master Clock Module Tutorial/Demo 

instablaster...

jamescigler I have an entire row of modules that were purchased due to your tutorials.

Tempi is one of my next modules, I want it to control my Bitbox Mkii, which is en route to me now. (Marbles will do fine for the time being, but I don't just want the randomization - I want to completely change the speeds of different cells.) This tip looks like a hell of a good trick. Thank you. Once I get my tempi, I'll be back to this video for a refresher, so I'll see the comment again. Cheers

Yeah I love PNW too but defo this is a more performable interpretation, as long as you just need clocks!

you think that's bad I've got room for 3 mods in a 12hp space lol looking at this now I have 2hp space lol

tempi and 2hp step sequencer filled the 12hp gap. now new box and new things to find

Have fun with it!!

Thanks John - I can certainly say that I was sceptical too, but the keystrokes quite quickly become muscle-memory imprinted (though I would need a reference for the state loading/saving keystrokes still - I have no doubt you can learn those too in time). You just have to commit to spending time with it, and it goes in!

Yep, this man is a danger to our bank accounts! This happened to me when he demoed the Metropolis - after the demo, I went crazy for the Intellijel module and just had to get one no matter what! His videos should be approached with care!

Walter Smetak same story here! 😅 Tried finding the addac 207 after the last vid and it seems like it is sold out.

Oh I know, and they were hard to fine BEFORE his review. Now they're rare beasts indeed.

same but Trigger Riot

MUNROmusic same can be said for a lot of modules have about 10 manuals on my modular desk at the moment

nice... with a logic module hanging off the OPs :)

Pams is much much more than just a clock generator!

Sebastien Leger I think Pamela's New Workout can swing..

Agreed, great module and video! Tempi doesn’t swing because it measures the distance between two pulses to find the tempo (that’s why for instance it takes it a while longer to adjust from a fast to a slow tempo.....it has to wait for the slower pulses). A swing rhythm is lopsided and thus will constantly throw tempi off-kilter trying to adjust to the two different spaces between pulses. You can easily create a swing in tempi by phase shifting and then combining two channels that pulse at the same rate!

You can let it swing via the shift function. Take quite a fast master clock (like 16th note for example) and set clocks 1&2 (or any pair you like) to a division of the master Clock so that they have both the same speed. Activate both for shifting and patch one clock to the mod input. You can take the same clock to trigger the Instrument you want to be played with shuffle. By shifting the phase of this clock forward or backward in phase you can create a shuffle, furthermore you can use the 16 States to create increasing amounts of shuffle on the fly by turning the state knob. The faster your master clock the finer you can set the steps for your shuffled beat. I programmed one „shuffle bank“ this way with three shuffled clocks at different speeds

Lucas Scheidt amazing. I have to try this.

Never tried it! Sure it’s good, what isn’t these days?!

agree it makes it tough to remember the combos

The two most important things (tap tempo) are super easy, the settings are totally complicated but that is ok for me.

Answer after 2 years is its terrible at syncing to an external clock - Pam's is the better module.

.... and thank you so much for your inspiring videos

Renaissance Man kinda defeats the purpose to buy a full system imo

@@stoopidnametag correct well I built my own modular system so all good now

Yeah in a sense it is a BIT like EC functionally in that you step through different divisions as it were and you get different patterns, but Tempi is just putting out even divisions whereas EC makes patterns proper. As Tempi can be voltage controlled then you can start to get more pattern like gates out of it. You could connect EC directly to a drum module and get beats, whereas Tempi you’d connect to the clock input of a drum sequencer most practically...

They're very different beasts, especially as the new Pams can do CV - The Workout is a bit more set and forget, whereas this is far more viable to interact with at a live gig. Yeah, kinda both?

...was hoping this question would be asked. Thanks, DE.

@@mylarmelodies It's nice that it can still be modulated for changes by itself or with other modules. My fingers aren't acrobatic enough for on-the-fly tapping, but thankfully that knob control can centralize the changes live for all the states you make during studio time. My problem with Pam's is it's too divey. This thing would be wild paired with a Wogglebug.

No, they’re clicky

koukouroukou have you tried changing tempi clock pulse width ?

I wrote to Erica Synths about that when I was making the video about it (I noticed it too - mention it as a caveat at the end of the video). That’s the only solution I’m aware of too. Yeah it’s not great quite frankly!

gruesome flowers yes sir..no results..guess has to do with pulse amp. Anyway i got my A-166heh

The change happened when I let go

Just my normal speaking voice

I just really really like the Tiptops just for absolute do-one-thing-well simplicity and the tone, haven't tried the MK4.

I have decided that none of those other features exist. I *can* remember that A is divide and B is multiply. I can also remember how to do Mute and Mod. And that's it. There is no more.

@@RadicalQuiver Story of my life!

No built in sounds. activating other modules.

Also, if you own a TEMPI make sure you’re updated to v3.1 firmware. Some of the features like the secondary divisor/multiplier and leading tempo are new. Had me confused a good bit.

came for the video, distracted by the cables...

Billy Nadeau shorter cables would make this video less claustrophobic 😉

toilet friend lol, thank you mr obvious ⭐️

Well that judgement does depend a bit on how much of the functionality you want to master - the core elements - making clocks run and slipping them, rely on the most basic of knowledge. You tap, or you Hold A or B and tap. You push A+B to slip phase. You Push A and you can Mute, You Push B and you choose channels to swap around. I can rattle that off of memory, so it's quite learnable.

Would you be comfortable improvising in a live setting with this module? Or framed differently: Would one be able to predict the outcome of this module's functionality? I would be scared out of my mind if i didn't know this thing in and out in a live setting and changing something by accident... Do you practice before session-gigs in general?

You should be practiced to hell before a live gig with this, or anything, yeah!

hiya

mylarmelodies yoooooooooo

Damn fine investment

Eagerly awaiting a Plaits jam!

Workin on it

w... why?

@@SorchaSublime because if i don't touch it for two weeks, i forget about all the combos and as i'm not english fluant, uncoding the manual completly cuts the workflow. only to save the all states is confusing. I understand the fact that MN doesn't want screens etc... but the multiple button combos on this module or the morphagene should be translated in various language... but who cares, right?
