Ann Annie uses hermod as well and mentioned a great trick after his performance at Patchwerks: he modulates the clock while recording sequences in with a keyboard controller. When that same sequence is then played back with a steady clock there is an ebb and flow to the sequence that he wouldn’t have been able to achieve otherwise. I thought that was a pretty cool semi-generative technique that hadn’t occurred to me before.

Great video! I’m a Nerdseq user but a lot of the track fx and modulation options you described are available in the Nerdseq too so I got a lot out of watching this. thank you.

@yongamusic 4 года назад

Your video came at the exact right time for me. Thank you! One thing I’d wish Hermod had is a general scale setting/effect for all tracks, that can be overruled by a scale effect per track. Now if I want things to follow the same scale I have to set it up per track, which seems unnecessary.

@ScottofOakland 2 года назад

This is the best Hermod video on RU-vid. Period. Very easy to understand and shows off the musicality of the thing. Thanks!

@Trk-El-Son 4 года назад

Here is a tip that initially seems unintuitive: Put multiple Swing fx in series. Normally, this would not seem sane, but the gold lies in that you can set a different lenght (Grid) for each swing. The Grid parameter means that you can “swing” e.g. a whole bar, so that everything after the center (e.g. beats 3 and 4) is delayed. Play a bit with this, and you can transport yourself around the globe, and possibly to other planets as well. This is soooo much more than just you typical swing percentage. Enjoy! (Oh, and this: Setup multiple Swings in series, and then just play with the fx mutes.)

I like recording the CV inputs e.g. using it to record marbles random output , so i can capture that stream, then manipulate it with fx. have you tried the new 'step advance' mode (OS 1.50) , thats is quite a lot of fun, as not only can you play back manually, but it can make little flurries of events. (e.g advance sequence by 1/4 notes, but place 1/16th notes as like mini sequences0

I used to use a pressure points to change the key of the scale effect on all of my tracks with note cv. One touch and all of my voices are in the same different key. Eventually got rid of pressure points because that’s the only thing I was using it for and it’s 20hp haha

@RedMeansRecording 4 года назад

My partner has a pressure points and I want to try it with my setup. But the tetrapad might work better because pressure points has some specific power requirements.

@eddiesinfin3583 4 года назад

Red Means Recording definitely try it. If I would’ve grabbed tetrapad instead of pressure points, I would’ve kept it because of all the stuff it can do.

I've had my eye on the hermod for a while. it looks great with many option but i totally dislike the small screen, could easily have been twice the size and OLED style.

@tomnaustin1 2 года назад

You are very very good at modular but your videos always leave me feeling like ...so what...even if I have the exact same modules you have it will be next to impossible to recreate this since connection information is very sketchy. Non the less you provide valuable content for the modular community and I thank you for it!

@mtommy84 3 года назад

@pulsedsignals7082 4 года назад

I think the Hermod is probably the best value for money compared to for example the USTA or the Vector. But as far as I can tell from what I see in Vids and Pics the display is just ridiculously small. They probably should sell it together with a magnifier... I am currently looking for a decent sequencer to facilitate a more structured way of music making with the modular system instead of just going absolutley generative, so thanks for this nice Demo!

@Larry30102 3 года назад

The display is quite small! One of my pet peaves was that the rhythm on the display wouldn’t be exact to what was being played. Then I found a note that said the display is to be used for reference only. Now I’m using the illuminated sequence on the number pads when it comes to editing notes. It’s a different way of looking at sequences and note editing but it works.

@lycosa2000 2 года назад

It’s truly a great sequencer, but for some stupid reason I feel like I’m cheating when using it or other modules like it. However, real estate is a premium in a Eurorack and the space it saves is worth it.

@alter7181 3 года назад

Your journey through modular is an incredible teaching tool. Thanks for putting this together. I notice you have a pam's new workout as well as the hermod. Is there any redundancy in that setup? I ask because I'm starting my modular build and ordered a pam but the hermod looks so damn useful, especially to be able to record in sequences from a usb controller. With all the clock functionality in the hermod, it seems like pam is overkill, but I'm totally new to this and am sure to be missing something. How do they get used in your setup? What role does each module play?

@RedMeansRecording 3 года назад

Pam's and Hermod offer completely different things. Pam's will always be in a system of mine no matter what else is doing stuff. Pam's is a swiss army knife.

@VictorSteiner 4 года назад

Chance per Note would be super cool but then Hermod would get problems with the small screen.

@azamarro 2 года назад

Model: Cycles (not modular) has this function, which is very cool. But what I wish was a feature was using IF statements in conjunction with chance. But the chance wouldn't be only restricted to whether or not the note triggers. It could be applied to note length, note value, etc. Like say there's a 50% chance applied for step 7 of the pattern. If the chance condition is true, the sequencer will play a D5 note. If false, it will play a B♭4. Does anybody know of a sequencer, modular or not, that can accomplish this?

@constantinflux 3 года назад

Any particular reason you go: 3.5mm clock and reset out from KSP to Pam then 3.5mm adaptor to DIN from Pam expander to DIN MIDI in on Hermod? Does the Hermod not support clock via USB host? Using clock via USB host, you could then take DIN MIDI Out adaptor from the Hermod to Pam clock and reset in. This might be just my thinking in terms of live setup since I could save one connection from outboard (the KSP) to the case and have it be connected in the case and not connect it before soundcheck (which saves time and takes one source of problems out of the equation). Am I making sense here?
