Beads is underused, undercelebrated, forgotten and sleeping. SO happy to find this. Heres to more Beads crazyness in the future

Your dedication to making beads shine is always impressive.

Congratulations for getting to 10k! You deserve a lot more, your videos are incredible and you’re super talented. Your jams convinced me to get Plaits as my second module and I’m having a lot of fun with it.

What i love about your videos is that even though i know you have a bigger pool of modules, you showcase more or less the same small system not baiting us into GASing for dozens of modules but instead keep consistency and prove what exploring and getting to know your system can lead to. Thank you! Amazing content!

This is pretty cool, I will try the pad-patch with glitchy sounds!

Hey man, just a bit of an update. I happened upon a RU-vid vid "MIDI Controlled CV Quantization with the Disting Mk4" on Steve Castellano's channel that is exactly what I mentioned in my last post, and hopefully makes it a little clearer. He also does a polyphonic version with extra modules but that's getting a bit full on for me. Just wanted to share. Anyway looking forward as usual to whatever inspirational content you care to grace us with next. Sharmown!

You always have inspiring patch ideas using minimal gear - I can't wait to try this one out with my Beads!

Again you've inspired me to revisit smaller setups and your layout seems to be a great starting point. You get SO MUCH out of this system and it's probably the secret to the success of your channel since it proves a modular doesn't have to be ridiculously big and expensive. Best wishes for 2024!

Hey there, thanks for the video. Happy to see beads featured again

What I love about modular is having these kinds of ideas and being able to make them happen! What I also love is seeing cool stuff that you do and copying it. Gonna try this soon 🙃

Do you find yourself pouring a coffee in anticipation of a deep patch session, and then coming to hours later with the coffee cold and hours of video?

That is particularly excellent. I am so wishing that Beads was available in the VCV Rack environment (I'm virtual for my Eurorack).

Congrats again on 10k! That’s such a huge thing for music channels and I don’t think people realize that. Also, wow! I watched your video, and sat down at my case and ran the quantized triangle into beads like you have and blam! Out popped some amazing stuff. Tuck that one away in the toolbox of cool stuff I can do now, suuuuuper fun🙌🏻

Ah yes, this is one of my fave purposes for Beads! I’ve always got it wired up like this for one of my bands, works especially well on the fiddle! 🤍

Congratulations 10 k !!!!!! It shoukd be 100k at least considering the quality of the content ;) Cheers.

Congrats on reaching 10000 subs! You definitely deserve it, and I try to mention your channel now and then on reddit etc to do my part :) That Jazzy Strings piece is beautiful, btw!

Ali! You crossed the 10k! Congratulations! Your videos are always top notch!

Oh wow the jazzy part was especially magic 🥰

Flipping heck mate; that's amazing!! 👌

Incredible. Your plaits series continue to inspire me to keep experimenting with it, more heads content too please! I want to better understand rhythmic freezing and scanning of the buffer.

Hey man. Beads is quite the module. Great ideas with the quantizing .. and the pitch randomization. The randomizer functions .. I've probably just scratched the surface. Thanks, much

greaaaaaaaaaaaaat ! that why i love modular happy accident !!! the unpredictible aspect of it !!!

This is great, got a new sub!

Great jam idea! GOnna try this out this evening :D

Great stuff as always. Just the sort of sound I'm looking for to without having to buy more modules. 😁

I don't have beads, but this gave me some ideas for Clouds into Afterneath with both quantized. Will not be the same, but that's not the point. Thanks!

This is seriously so good! Are you sending the OP-1 to your DAW via USB? Curious of your signal chain involving the OP-1, SP-404, and DrumBrute. Edit: Never mind. Literally answered the question 10 seconds after I typed this hehe.

Yeah, that was pretty great 👍

One of your best yet, love the electric piano thing! I really hope we get Beads in VCV eventually, I've tried this with Rings and it doesn't sound as good. The pitch shifting is kind of manky, Beads is so much cleaner. 😂

Pretty magical....

Nice to see Cárn in there. That’s been on my list for a while. Love the saturation in Cruinn, and really want Cárn for a flavorful little mixer. Do you find it enhances the tones?

Fantastic. Now do it with data bender 1v/o input!

I found the density control patch by far and away the most interesting. Now I need to patch that up today and try it ;) Maybe also with Typhoon. Is Data Bender dry?

Do you like putting nautilus before or after beads? Is one order better for certain situations than another?

imhaving pitch issue when I connect cv into beads. have to heard something about calibration?

I think that maybe the Density control didn’t have any effect ( approx 14’50”) because channel 1 on MATHS was set to maximum - you mentioned that you were controlling the Density with ch1 of MATHS. Just an idea.

Where's the sample lib from? Didn't quite get that, thanks

hey

Yeah look I realise you're understandably chuffed about getting to 10,000 subs. But there's no need to show off. Quantisers aren't meant for the likes of you, with your seemingly effortless relatively gifted musical ear young man!! I jest of course. : ) But seriously, watching this has me wondering what you might conjure into existance by incorporating the Disting's quantiser A-6 using the MIDI input to define the notes to constrain to (Maybe Pam's New W/O does something similar?). Param #6 is your friend here, 2 of the 3 modes have you adding notes to quantise to via a (growing) chord shape. From the manual - "While any notes are held, playing new notes adds to the pattern. When all notes are released and a new note played, the pattern is reset and formed from the new note." One of the modes always quantises to only the MIDI notes played and in the other, quantised notes can be in any octave dependant on the voltage sent to the Y input. (Or played in by your other hand as a voltage from the Keystep?) Simples... 🤔 Congrats on hitting 10,000 mate. Shame about the millions still missing out. Poor things. Dammned good show! Yeaahh!
