My small techno performance case & patch explained 

Glad you like it!

Glad it was helpful! That's my main goal, share insights on building setups or patches for people looking to do something similar. Thanks for watching!

Hey, glad to hear it! And go for it :)

Thanks, glad you liked it! :)

Haha, well, there's a lot more to come on RU-vid I guess. But that's nice to hear :)

Thanks for letting me know! Positive comments like this makes it worth doing this. All the best!

Glad it was helpful! I enjoy this setup a lot, although I have to admit I combined this techno case with my other live case to create an all-purpose setup. Easier for myself , and future video plans. The case still has the same idea though, a few compact synth voices, combined with percussive elements :)

Glad you liked it! Cheers :)

Glad to hear it, thanks for watching!

Ah yeah, I'm a bit annoyed by my self I didn't record a video about that when making it! :/

Glad I could help! Think semi-modular is a fantastic way to go, so much options and bang-for your buck these days. That allows to be more specific with modular features. Enjoy the journey!

Thanks! :)

Very happy to be able to make these! Thanks for watching :)

Hello! That's lovely to hear, and thank you so much for the Patreon support! At the beginning of the year I asked what kind of videos people like to see from me (with a short list) and videos on making / performing music with a modular was picked a lot! I plan my videos months ahead these days, so there are for a lot of things on my to do list still. But you will see me making more videos about writing and performing this year. I hope they do well, that would open up a lot of possibilities! For starters, I will make a video with this Techno case. A part 1 in making a 1hr set with it. I just promised to do another performance, so that's a good incentive I guess! Thanks again, and all the best!

Danke! :)

Please more insides about the case! Looks great

Hey, that's good to hear! Because that's exactly the idea. I will work on more videos about wiring/performing with a modular. Happy to share my procecs in learning and working with this case! All the best :)

@@MonotrailTechTalk amazing, that just made my day! Best of luck with the process and looking forward to following it!

Thank you! And indeed. Was really an eye opener for me working with it. So much more can be done than I do here, but great as a control surface :)

Me to! I plan to get to it, share the process here, and upload some sessions on my other channel :)

True! But sounds like a good goal to me :) Think it's very possible, although those improvisations will not be so different from each other I guess,

Ha, congrats on the live show! For sure, I wouldn't recommend building this exact setup to anyone. Just take the parts or things you think would work for you! As for FX I come from doing performances with an outboard mixer on the side. This was and still is perfect to me. I'd take different signals from the modular to the outboard mixer, and then just use the AUX send 1 & 2 with a reverb and delay pedal. Works great, and that's still how I use it in my studio. For this case indeed I like to see if I could include at least a simple stereo reverb into the case, so nothing else is needed. But I would still go for a FX send setup. Your setups sound solid. So just a matter of finding the right balance between dry/wet signal. You could always try to use those FX as sends. So listen to the clean signal of each voice, and use a multiple or stackable cable to send a copy into a 100%wet effect. Then mix again within the modular, or with outboard mixer.

@@MonotrailTechTalk The sends are an amazing Idea! I never thought about such a simple thing... thats why modular is awesome. Id imagine, i could get away with just one space effect if i can just mix everything into it. Also my mix would probably be cleaner and i wont have to be as careful with loosing my dry volume tweaking the dry/wet on stage. Ill try as soon as possible, thanks alot!

@@anastasia0zardonova if you dont want an external mixer but instead want mixer with sends in eurorack and use eurorack effects, I can really recommend the ST modular Stereo SUM system. It has a main module with 2 stereo sends and returns, main out and headphone out. And then you add individual mono and stereo channels as you need which conenct on the backside to the main module so it saves on cabling. Each channel has mute, a pretty brutal one knob eq (hi pass/lo pass with boost), switch for a/b send, level control, send level control and headphone/main out mix knob. So basically just a modular outboard mixer in eyrorack format. Only important thing to note is that there is no gain on the channels, the level control is just an attenuator, so it expects modular level. I was a tad disappointed witht this as I have to add somethig like the bubblesound booater stage for my external synths, but it is a minor nuissance. If you only have two mono channels and are fine with one stereo fx chain which it seems like from your comment, the make noise rosie is also a nice output mixer module with send/return. Since it is a bit old you could probably find it quite cheap second hand. Just some ideas if you are determined to keep everything in your case.

I'm gonna go ahead and say yes :) And thanks!

@@MonotrailTechTalk Thank you! Will study the subject!

Nice! Congrats on making the jump! It's a slippery slope, and very a very personal journey. First advice is just to take your time exploring each module and your ideas!

ok tx for your time @@MonotrailTechTalk

Thank you! And yes, you can find all my cases in (most of the time) current state here: www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/command_center/46250

Hi there! It's quite some things to remember indeed, but the whole modular is a bit like that. At the end a patch on DROID is something I end up fine tuning an using a lot. Nothing different from remembering how my Beatstep Pro or any other sequencer works. The programming is a lot of fun in my opinion, using the interface designed for it is great, and doesn't require any difficult coding at all. But for sure, it requires some creativity and a curious mind. If the whole idea doesn't make you smile its best to maybe try out the software (its free) and click around a bit. to see if it is for you. And finally, if you made something and it doesn't have the desired result, just adjust it! That's the beauty of DROID :)

@@MonotrailTechTalk That all makes sense technically and philosophically. I dont know if droid would end up being a reduction in hp and make my engagement more fun and easier. Id want to replace my trigger riot, vector five12, divkid ochd, ne lapsus ox and 2 cosmo delta v.

Hey, I do! Might clean it up a bit and share tomorrow. Will place it on my Patreon, as well as Modwiggler. Will also try Discord again, but my laptop had some issues with that. Will let you know if it's up!

@@MonotrailTechTalk cool

@@effiksmusic Hello! I posted the the .ini fie of the DROID patch used in this video, along with a picture with all knob controls on Modwiggler to download: modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3894584#p3894584

@@MonotrailTechTalk Thanks, I will study it.

I don't care about how 'impressive' a rack is. I care about the music it makes, and the fun I have performing with it.

Thanks! :)
