We show you how to get the most out of Make Noise's super-powerful Eurorack module, MATHS. Modular Monthly continues in every issue of Future Music. See more from our modular collaborator at: / mylarmelodies
I bought a maths a while back just based on this awesome video. Specifically bow, bow, bow, on one side and de, de, de on the other (16:00). Thanks, great video!
OK Computer Yup, me too, as well as, let's see... Metropolis, Atlantis, Radio Music and Turing Machine, Korgasmatron, Trigger Riot, PEG and RCD, ADDAC207, Doepfer Precision Adder, Sequential Switch, Wasp filter and Spring Reverb, and last but not least, the amazing Shapeshifter... Glups :D
Took me a couple weeks to get through it, trying things and absorbing the info given - but man, what a trip. This tutorial was super helpful! And theres still so many more patch-possibilities to try!
24:36 "It's like trying set the temperature of your shower" Now we need a CV controlled shower temperature. Hook a mic into it and you've got pretty original analog "human swear" module :D
Thank you! One day after watching the video, I approach the Maths and it starts to make sense. Especially when you self-patch and create feedback. Kudos
Thanks for putting this together. I've been thinking about getting a maths for my system, but had been intimidated by it for a while. Understanding how the system's layout was organized (CH 1 and 4 on the outside, etc) is a great help. I may well have to add this to my collection sometimes soon. Thanks!
Thanks so much for going in depth with this module! So many just FLY through and twiddle knobs at lightning speeds, which is not helpful at all. I can hear it, but never see or hear it explained so well as this. Make Noise modules are some of the most complicated, non intuitive ones out there. I love them because I know they are some of the best, innovative creations, yet I can't do anything with them until they are explained or I study hard to find out how they work. You don't just walk up and see the obvious like with Doepfer, for instance. I can poke at them all day and still get nothing. Cheers!
How can you be so friendly to my ears and understanding but also be my wallet’s worst enemy ? Thanks a lot for all these really informative and extremely well done videos, much appreciated, I will head to patron soon to give my little contribution
wow, this just blew my mind, super helpful thank u! Ive had the maths for a couple of weeks in a really basic system, and I haven't utilised it at all yet(apparently), i'm gonna go patch now, see ya
Oh?! I realize now, that I’ve been using my attenuverting channels as mixer channels, not as inputs to grant CV control over those attenuverters! I’m glad I’ve re-re-visited your video once again! Great video, very valuable resource for not only learning the MakeNoise Maths, but to grasp more thoroughly these concepts of Control Voltages!
Just now getting into Eurorack modular. I've ordered two 3U rackmount chassis that will have available 160 HP (not including P/S's). The Make Noise MATHS module was among my first purchases. Will also be looking to acquire some type of random CV generation module.
I have watched no end of YT vids trying to gain a basic idea of what Maths does, to no avail. Everyone agrees that it’s all-singing, all-dancing, but no-one can even begin to explain what it does or how to use it. Imagine, then, my relief at turning to this video and hearing the voice more familiar as that of Mr Mylar Melodies himself. If anyone can explain it, I figured, he can. And was I right? Oh yes- this video is cut-out-and-keep gold, and I shall refer to it often , and at length… My takeaway from this- and it’s the first YT vid I’ve seen that’s even had a takeaway-is that it’s probably of more use to someone making modular noise for the sake of modular noise rather than- as I do- crafting discrete pieces of structured music. However, having finally established (some of) what Maths can do it is finally clear that having one WOULD benefit my system. For once I do not begrudge the dent in the wallet; to have found an explanation that genuinely explains the module is worth the price of entry. Thank you!
This is one module that always baffled me, but for that reason is the one I want the most! Just the amount of patching and knob twiddling... it's limitless!!! If only I didn't have to pay rent or my electricity bill!!!!!
I didn't understand most of this, but thank you for at least making clear that this is a kind of master utilities module. Other sources left me scratching my head about what Maths is really for.
great demo, the make noise official video's are painfully short. this long format is what i would love from all companies. all of these 3 minute demo video's are really a bummer to me.
I wish I had seen this before I ordered it. I have a Mother 32 case and was looking around for what my first (post-power) module should be, if I had seen this it would have been a much quicker decision :) Now... the waiting.
Noooo I watched your vid on Fluctuations Magnetiques and decided that was a thing I wanted to explore, and finally ordered a Maths (totally befuddled by it but Im trusting you and DivKid). Now you do stuff with TWO Maths. My bank account would like a word when you've got a minute lol
+Tx66 I ain't dead yet! Link to my personal channel in the description - just released a new vid there today and more to come forever. Divkid will be handling the modular monthly vids here from now on
+mylarmelodies I loved the send off at the end. "There are always new sounds in old circuits." That should be a shirt or something. I'd buy it. Cheers for sharing this knowledge in an accessible way. People will be benefiting from your hard work and enjoying the sounds for years to come.
Just by-the-by: my hot water system is inline, so I set the temperature on my shower with a display, and +/- buttons. I get the same temp every time if I want. I guess that is the equivalent of having a CV quantizer...
23:30 I have one question: How is this form of envelope generation different than when just applying a gate to the trigger input? wouldn't the same thing that you're showcasing with this "ASR envelope" be happening if you plugged the pressure points gate into the maths trigger in?
No, two fundamental different results - going into the channel input MATHS shapes the start and end of the gate (it adds a slope on to the end), and you can hold your gate down and it'll stay high until you release - so a proper ASR envelope is created. If you go into the trigger input, then you're firing a cycle and the length is determined by the Rise and Fall controls only, no matter how long and short your gate happens to be, if you get me?
