Patching With Maths - Envelopes, LFOs, Offset, Attenuation, Rachets, Clocking, Generative Sequences 

That's quite a compliment! Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

Yep! :)

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. Glad it was helpful. :)

Ha! Once you wrap your head around Maths everything else will start to make sense. It's such a great module. I use it for so many things and have often been tempted to buy another one.

Thanks! Glad you like it. I've got an outline for another Maths video! I'm hoping to have it up in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned! :)

Yes! Thanks for the clarification.

Great idea! There's just so much stuff to do with Maths. I should probably do a whole other video! :)

Ha! Thanks man! Appreciate the support. :)

Thanks!

Oh yeah that makes sense! Great idea...

Not a silly question. I just use my ears. The data can be great for learning what's going on under the hood of a module when learning it. I imagine it's similar to learning a piece of music by ear. If you're having trouble you might look at the sheet music for a visual representation of the music to make the connection. That doesn't mean you will have to look at the music forever and only be able to play music while reading music. It's all a part of learning. Make sense? (Perhaps a better example would be learning an instrument by reading music and learning notation as opposed to learning entirely be ear)

@@braintree56 Thanks, it makes sense what you say here.

100% that's the downside of these types of swiss army knife modules. I still like having it just because every now and then there are times where I want to do something very specific.

This critique misses the point of the module. Maths is the ultimate +1 to any rack or patch because once you've exhausted your dedicated modules, you have it available to do anything you need it to. Remember it's a utility, not just an EG/LFO/mixer/etc - Maths earns its place by being a chameleon, not a CV hose. You can fit Batumi + Zadar in the space of 1 Maths if you like but these are different categories of modules entirely. They're each workhorses but the shapeshifting nature of Maths and its peculiarities (happy accidents) are why it sits on a throne. That it leans further into the historical side of modular synthesis is also part of its charm, it's simply rewarding to use in ways that a quad module isn't. It's just the nature of being handed ingredients to cook with instead of an already-prepared side dish. No wrong preferences of course, we're building our own custom instruments here :)

@@azulmago No I don't think I'm missing the point. As I said Maths is a very cool module. The point I was making is that Maths doesn't replace individual modules or give you more than individual modules would. But the way its often portrayed would have one believe its like a super computer for modular that does way more than anything else.

Thanks! Yeah, that was goal going into this. There are so many things you can do with Maths, but I find that just using it for basic stuff is the best way to really understand what's going on under the hood...

Awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know. Are there other modules you'd be interested in seeing videos on? Always curious what people have and are interested in seeing.

@@braintree56 As a beginner, I am having trouble with sequencing with quantizing and used with clocks and clock dividers. All so much to get head wrapped around at once. I have many sequencers, Intellijel Metropolix, Mother 32, Berhinger 960, Tip Top Buchla 245T. Plus Addac Quantizer. For clocks I have Pam’s Pro workout and 4MS Quad clock distributor.

That's quite a compliment to me! I have a tremendous respect for Monotrail and to be held in the same regard as him is very flattering to me... :) Thank you!

@@braintree56 my pleasure - I just love it when someone explains things the way my neurodiverse lil brain "gets". Thank you!!

​@@LordoftheBadgers Hey did you end up getting that Addac 506? I'm looking at function generators right now and torn between that and the Falistri.

@@wrenchposting9097 no not yet due to various unrelated reasons but it's still high, nay, number one on my list I could add after later audio qarv too at a pinch... I think cause the four vcas make it attractive. The falistri I know is amazing but I need to research :)

@@LordoftheBadgers I'll let you know if I end up with one of the two before you!

Awesome! Thanks so much for signing up. :) Hit me up on Patreon if you have any questions or anything.

Yep. Pam's and Maths are definitely on my "never sell" list!

My pleasure!

Sweet! Check out my other video on Maths too. I did that one after this one when I received a lot of questions. It's more thorough.

Thank YOU! I love your channel! :)

Thanks! Glad it was helpful.

Thanks.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

It really depends on what you feel you need. Maths will give you more options for modulation and greater control over modulation. If thats what you want - go for it! Here's a video I did that gives some ideas on expanding the Mother 32 into Eurorack. (Maths is one of the modules) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sjpukLphkCQ.html

@@braintree56 - Thank you! 🙂

Totally agree. I also like that they are very focused - knob per function and easy to learn and understand. I've been buying more and more of them.

I disagree. I’d call Doepfer the “father” of Eurorack, while people like Morton Subotnick and Don Buchla would be my “grandfathers” of modular.
