olan! - modular techno live set #14 

thanks!!

It's a Death Star's control pannel.

awww thank you!

thanks!

thanks!

thanks mate!

thanks!

Oleh Sobolev TECHNOYES TECHNO OK.

hi, it really depends on what you‘re comfortable with. but a semi modular synth combined with a drum machine is certainly a good idea. i‘d go for a 909 clone if i were you! cheers

stereo as well

hopefully soon. as you can see my setup is pretty mobile ☺️

haaa wessel jij ook hier?

thanks for the nice words! yep that‘s marbles! all my performances are fully improvised. nothing rehearsed in advance.

yayyyy thanks ❤️

thanks! i think the erica techno system is a great start!

thanks! it‘s a music thing modular chord organ through an erica pico vcf3

oops

hi. sorry, i don‘t fully understand your question. can you give me an example?

thanks! almost all the melodic patterns are created on the fly with the turing machines and marbles. due to the properties of the noise engineering sequencer, i sometimes reuse the 4 sequences i programmed there though, since i usually forget to save the state of the module before powering down. with marbles and the turing machines i start blank. most drum patterns are also from pattern- or random sequencers (turing machines etc). on the erica drum sequencer i have preprogrammed patterns for kick, hihat, chord stabs, erica pico sampler, rings and i can change them the common way by reprogramming or using the random step function on the fly

@@OLANGALACTICA Do you use the trigger out from the marbles for melodic sequencing too? I don't find it to be that musical. Do you drive it from a regular clock or another sequencer? Which voices do you find work best for improv? It would seem that wide sweet-spot and simple control is best. I've been using Rings and BIA but find both a bit samey after a while. Got a modulargrid link?

i use the erica drum seq as master clock. yes, i‘ve used the marble triggers. however, i‘ve ditched the marbles now and will be using another sequencer for my bass lines on the next video. i like all kinds of sequencers and voices that are hands-on. i hate menudiving when improvising and the only modules where i scroll through the menu from time to time to use different sounds are plonk and braids. also, although make noise make great modules sound-wise, i only use the ones i absolutely need. because their interfaces feel counter-intuitive to me. here‘s the modulargrid. it‘s a bit dated. it‘s the setup of video #12. www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/command_center/49480

hi, thanks! to keep my patches sounding ‚lively‘, i use the modulation outputs of my turing machines and tides to a certain degree. for example i sometimes modulate the ‚structure‘ input from Rings. But it really comes down to the mix. Having an analog mixer with cross-talking/cross-compression is great for keeping things moving. i use the WMD performance mixer.

@@OLANGALACTICA thank you for sharing your wisdom :) I'm using the befaco hexmix, which is working well so far. I realized that I can use my disting to do compression on my kick and bass. One part I am still struggling with is the melodic sequencing. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and lean more music theory... anyways thank you for sharing. It inspired me to change some stuff in my system around :D

thanks mate! it‘s two synthrotek/mst mixers! i have 8 different voices on there and thanks to these modules i can mute them with a flick of a switch

2 2hp vcfs on highpass mode for filtering the master channel

thanks for the kind words! it‘s a music thing modular chord organ through an erica pico vcf3

hi, i use the music thing modular radio music and the 4ms STS to play samples

thanks! it‘s the wmd performance mixer. awesome (but expensive) module

okcool thx

thanks! i‘m using the music thing modular chord organ going into an erica pico vcf3. the envelope is a MI peaks

yep! and now it‘s back online thanks to you :-) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nFQMLtAxexs.html

yes since i know what goes where

thx man! for cv sequences on this video i use: marbles, 2x turing machines, mimetic digitalis, modseq and sometimes the cv channel on erica drum seq. so it‘s coming from everywhere :)

@@OLANGALACTICA are you quantizing all those CV sources somewhere?

Jason Barile nope, no quantization at all. our ears are the only quantization we need when it‘s just melodies

yeah it‘s definitely the main drum sequencer and also the master clock

I thought I spied a mimetic! Im using one too along with numeric repetitor, turing machine, and 2 westlicht performers, one for drums and one for oscillators

thanks! i‘m currently not using modulargrid to plan my case, but an older version is still online (liveset #12): www.modulargrid.net/e/users/view/49480

@@OLANGALACTICA thanks man!

hi, it‘s all freestyle :)

flew with this around 50 times already from/to germany, france, switzerland, spain, belgium, austria. never had any problems. i usually go to the airport 15 min earlier because sometimes they want me to open the case or check me for bomb residue. good thing i don‘t live in the states.

it‘s an mdr.modular case

nicotine 15mg/ml cuz i tried to quit smoking once

hopefully soon!

slowly getting the motivation back due to clubs starting to open up here

the chord comes from music thing modular chord organ through a erica pico vcf3. the weird delay sounds come from mutable instruments braids (ring mode) through an syntrotek/mst filter

@@OLANGALACTICA Thanks! Im too poor to buy those modules but good to know. (building my own eurorack - my channel)

ok. if you‘re interested in DIY you can build the Braids, Chord Organ and MST Filter yourself. i saved around 50% on diy modules. helped me a lot to get going because eurorack is so damn expensive and my pockets arent‘t very deep

@@OLANGALACTICA I actually allready have two braids. Man you seem like an interresting person. I develope modules. But its kinda hart cuz Im only 15. I would really like to chat with you more so if you could add me on facebook that would be awsome. facebook.com/marek.mach.9047

yes i am :-)

yup :)

@@OLANGALACTICA so we just hearing the master out now? wow. I like the panning then on the mixer

after recording a do a bit of mastering (making it a bit louder and adding a bit of compression), but yeah it‘s basically what you hear, since I also use a compressor when i‘m playing live.

@@OLANGALACTICA That's killing bro. Yeah I have asked cause I am between this choice, I have a multitrack recording but also the master out. Mix and Master ? Just Master? I am exploring some options

i personally like mix+master when recording tracks I release. but for video content I want ppl to hear what it sounds like live, so I only master

ok
