Great sounds don’t need to be complicated. A lot of interest and dynamics in synth voices and sequences can be achieved by just breaking the static repetition with simple tricks. In this video I go over my 5 favorite ways to add subtle dynamic movement and depth to a synth voice using simple tricks and common ingredients.

Every time I see a new Monotrail video, I know I'm gonna be spending the afternoon down in my Synth ZONE. I'm definitely going to have to go back and re-watch the transients video. So many unique sounds with such simple building blocks!

@MonotrailTechTalk 7 дней назад

Hey, that nice to hear! If I can inspire people to pick up instruments and enjoy some sonic exploring I consider my job well done :) All the best!

100% second this!

Your channel currently is the only one that never disappoints me. Many others share great ideas, too, but get boring in the follow-up clips. You are different. A real treasure of our times!

@MonotrailTechTalk 6 дней назад

Hey, glad to hear you like it!

I thoroughly enjoy this "basic rack" series. I know you always show diagrams and explain patch ideas, but such a simple and "cheap" rack without bells and whistles really helps to keep focus on techniques instead of gear and just feels more universal out of the gate.

@MonotrailTechTalk 6 дней назад

Great to hear! That's exactly what I was hoping for :) Will also spend time on topics with other racks, but so far I have been enjoying working with this setup a lot, and still have a bunch of topics I like to tackle. All the best!

Thank you so much! And you're very welcome. As long as people seem to appreciate these I am happy to roll them out :) Cheers!

Each time I see a new video of yours popping up, I'm so excited! There's so much for me to unpack here again. I'll be busy for quite some time! 🤗

@MonotrailTechTalk 7 дней назад

Hey, thanks for sharing! Hearing people get some value out of these, and inspired to pick up some experiments makes it worth it :) Cheers!

Once again another awesome video to help kick off a patch. The diagrams are done so well and the videos are easy to follow.

Perfect ! (as usual) That's why choosing modules with as much CV input as possible is the best choice: the possibility to add life to the sound.

@MonotrailTechTalk 6 дней назад

Thanks! And very true. CV inputs are the key to a fun system :) All the best!

Man you have seriously helped me with modular more than you know. I just started my journey this past February and I can't thank you enough. I wish i had joined patreon sooner. So seriously thank you so much!

@MonotrailTechTalk 6 дней назад

Hey, that's awesome! Huge thanks for joining Patreon. With a channel my size add money is useless and I stopped doing sponsored content. So Patreon support is the sole reason I can spend time making these videos :) Very happy I can help, and enjoy the modular journey!

Excellent video as usual. I appreciate that you encourage us to use what we have instead of buying a new module and also that you show alternative ways to do things.

@MonotrailTechTalk 6 дней назад

Hey, thank you! I hear this comment more and it makes me happy. Since the start of this year I consciously stopped doing module specific videos, exactly to aim for this effect. I'm very glad to hear people get use out of it :) Cheers!

@electronicgarden3259 6 дней назад

I think you always been more into patch techniques than specific modules even though you use one in the video.

@MonotrailTechTalk 6 дней назад

Glad you think so. Even when doing videos on specific modules I liked to bring out as much 'general' patching ideas and tips. This just gives me even a bit more freedom :)

Interestingly many patches you showed can somehow easier being done on a Serge, than on a Doepfer. Despite Serge modulars being regarded much more complicated. It seems to me, the way you approach certain goals are rather "Serge-y". Ever tried it?

@MonotrailTechTalk 6 дней назад

I think all these patches are pretty easy, mostly just directly modulating parameters :) But haven't had a chance to work with a full Serge System!

@HarryKelvin 4 дня назад

What Eurorack modules provide “smooth random”? Thanks!!!

@MonotrailTechTalk 4 дня назад

Hi there! Glad you ask :) I need to work on my own pr, because I completely forgot to mention. But in this video I use the module I designed with ADDAC: the 507 random bezier waves. It's a dual 'smooth' random voltage generator: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9PxVmeMrOoQ.html To be fair though, of course I love my module and designed it because I felt there wasn't a module that did exactly what I wanted, and it's great. But if you any other style of slewed or linear random that will work pretty decent ;)

@HarryKelvin 4 дня назад

Oh good! I already pre-ordered one from PC a couple months ago. When do they ship…?

@MonotrailTechTalk 4 дня назад

Hey! That's awesome, you'd have to check with PC. The modules are already available for 3 months. So looks like they sold out and might need new ones. I can't tell when that happens.

@sonicspecter 3 дня назад

Too much information, need to rewatch the video multiple times to get it all! Please do more and longer videos on those patching techniques! And give us more time to listen to your patches.

@MonotrailTechTalk 2 дня назад

Hi there! Thanks for sharing, tips are always welcome. Have to say though adjusting to a rather wide range of viewers is really difficult. I want to have a bit of tempo to not bore faster generations, be clear and thorough for people that get into modular in a late age, show music clips, but not lose viewers when showing sounds that are not their genre, and so on :) I did quite some other videos that are diving deeper into some of these topics though. The slap back and transient video. videos on envelopes and audio rate amplitude modulation etc. Just browse my channel :)
