I have just bought an oscillator 2 and i came on youtube just to hear if it was any good for techno....turns out that in the right hands it is pure fire
Hey! First of all great set, love to see people play the modular! Can you maybe explain a little bit more how Marbles and arpitect interact with one another if at all. I'm having trouble making my Marbles sound musical or at least get some better results in terms of basslines and melodic stuff. I know this video is really old by now but maybe you can tell me some secrets about how to handle Marbles. Merci!
Hey, thank you! In this video the Marbles random output goes both into the Arpitecht transpose input and to the first VCO v/oct. Then the Arpitecht output goes to the second VCO v/oct. If you have trouble making Marbles sounding musically, you can program your on scale on it, check the manual, the operation is quite easy. Have a nice patching day!
Thank you Gregory! A raisonnable way to enter Eurorack and have fun with patching would be to go for a used Mother 32.. quite cheap, internal sequencer, good sounding and can be integrated to your future Eurorack monster case 😊👍. Cheers.
To expand on his Mother 32 idea. There are numerous semi-modular synths available now in addition to Mother-32. Start with one (Check out the Behringer Crave - a copy of Mother 32 for $500 less) or a pittsburgh lifeforms SV-1. Semi-modular is the best of both - it works as a regular synth with no patching and you can also patch all kinds of modular to it. That way you'll get the function of a modular but also be able to play right off the bat without building a full synth from scratch. You can get a Crave for $200. If you want to start with all modular, it's gonna cost around $1500 to build a basic functional synth out of numerous modules. Make sure your semi-modular has a sequencer because you need something to act as the brains to keep all of the various inputs in time and in key.
NCLSRD Frequencies awesome thanks man!!! Love the bass drum in this track... currently shopping around for bass percussion modules. BIA, Plaits, and now the SSF Entity BD all look like great options!
@@kyudechama thank you ! You're right, often, working with a small setup and limitations, open the way to your creativity ☺️ it s a good exercice to downsize your setup.
