Modular Monthly: Clock dividers & multipliers 

Fan de "Here we see a modular synth in its natural environment..."

Lies. No cat.

@@gorillaau "At first glance, this peculiar module might look quite normal. But as soon as its starts rotating, his true nature becomes apparent...."

"Yesh, yet another day that we can witness the modulars arousing properties affecting the environment. This particular divisive element brought great variety to possible establishing routes to further propagate it's intentions. A marvel of digital and analogue nature."

How are you doing on your journey? Continuing or abandoning?

i have for sale some mod’s ! and it was fun to learn ! u should buy study learn sell and expand !!!!

the part that was like beeooowwwwahhh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh beeeeeooowwwwahhhh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh.

Yeah, it sounds like it was having trouble following the square and saw waves. Any recs?

I have one and I like it a lot. Mylar has used one in his more recent videos in addition to the pamelas workout, because it's very easy to change clock rates on it.

Bit of a late reply, and I'm sure you've already figured it out. But that would be the Slope section on the 0-Coast!

+mono bono Knowledge! It's a Doepfer SEM filter on that top (visible) row btw! There's also an assortment not visible including lots of the excellent Tiptop Audio 808/909 modules.

i had a similar idea. i'm sure its possible. i also use a rc 300also. curious to hear if that works for you. would you use the tap tempo input on the rc 300 instead of internal clock?

tim sullivan I don't like tap tempo buttons in general, because I am never perfectly precise with them, so it almost always gives me some odd tempo with positions after decimal point, something like 89.3 BPM or something. I like the BPM to be a whole numer (most of the time it's either 100 BPM for nice downtempo jams or in the range of 120 - 130 BPM for a little bit faster electro tracks), so I always use the value knob on the RC-300 to set the BPM to a particular number. Since the RC-300 doesn't accept external MIDI clock signals (unless the midi clock comes from yet another RC-300), I use it as a MIDI clock master for everything I want to sync, which works quite reasonably well (except for the Korg Kaossilator pro+, which falls out of sync ever so slowly. But that is a different problem altogether). Now, I'd like to broaden my horizon and experiment with clock dividers, syncing or even triggering different drum machines. After watching videos about modular systems the whole day (!) I am pretty sure that this is possible. Now, it's only a matter of time and money :) A lot of time and a lot of money... :(

+whiterottenrabbit ah. but you can trick the rc 300 into being the tempo slave by sending it tap tempo as midi note from anything. like your daw.

tim sullivan Ah, OK, thanks for the suggestion! NEver experimented with that, because the current setup worked out for me just quite OK. But I will experiment with that more!

+MISTER KLIENFELD If they have gate inputs, yep. You need a clock/gate source is all!

+mylarmelodies Dude. Thank you for these videos and the prompt reply. You the real mvp! I'm actually going to delve into modular and the diy case vid made my day and saved me some change. Thank you!

im very new as well, but the main benefit i have noticed is that the modular scene tends to be more organized and well documented then software synthesizers. also it's more tactile and physical if that makes sense. but what tips the scale for me is that software is literally hundreds of times cheaper than hardware. the gear you're looking at in this video is probably 10k+ total. its ridiculous how expensive it can get.

+Andrew FK Price is the limiting factor me. I think it is for the majority of people. That, along with portability and the ability to recall patches. I can take Reaktor Blocks on a laptop anywhere and it cost me 169 pounds. Does it sound as good as a a system like that? No of course not. At least not when it come to fat analog stuff. However it still sounds pretty good and there is plenty of cool stuff you can do, with things like sample manipulation, that are not possible with old school modulars. I can't even conceive of making something like Ultraloop or the Finger with those. Also, most of the concept I see here are transferable to Reaktor Blocks and other similar environments. A lot of the educational materials, available on RU-vid and elsewhere, for old school modulars have been very helpful in that regard. So for me, what we have is two separate realms of technological development, with many concepts that overlap and relative strengths and weaknesses depending on what you're trying to achieve. It would be good to have access to both, but for now, I'm pretty happy with what I've got and what's possible with it.

+tsuisou x slum The quality of the sounds are incredible and you get all sorts of amazing things happen by accident that wouldn't happen with a computer programme. its a real life electronic instrument waiting to be brought to life by you and it helps you push past your limits into new territories

@@adamsmith4416 However it still sounds pretty good and there is plenty of cool stuff you can do, with things like sample manipulation, that are not possible with old school modulars.? You can do plenty of sample manipulation in modulars. At least not when it come to fat analog stuff. Not all sound generating sources in modular are analogue, plenty of digital stuff knocking about that can sound as good as analogue modules. Sure you can use reaktor to do this type of stuff but the fun in modular comes from physical patching which is missing using a computer. Computers are just glorified tape recorders for me personally.

I don’t recall anyone recommending we throw away our DAWs. This is just a video on rhythm generating. It’s all very quite clear.

mylarmelodies Who complains?

That system didn't cost 30.000 dollars. You're coming across as a little bitter.

@@juliaseppi2205 No you are just from the west - people are soft there and see hostility in every inconvenience or differences in views.
