System 55 - Top 5 Missing Features 

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Great idea for a follow up video.

Thanks. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Tony!

Thanks for saying so! BTW, check out the 1630 Frequency Shifter module ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nkwjCYgJKJo.html ). I was not aware of the availablility of this module when I did the "Top 5 Missing" video. It meets the "Ring Modulator" requirement and then some.

@@ozhalljr I have a classic frequency shifter in I plan to use once I get a System 55.

@@jblock41cool!

@@ozhalljr It's the Bode. Should work well. Additional interface is with the Doepfer version of a Trautonium with inputs also from a Behringer 2600. I have the second sequencer and timer already, just as in your setup, plus some nice filters and a quad ADSR. Just awaiting the $$ for the 55 and a couple of the mods you suggested for vibrato, although the Barp has that and I can run the 1500 through it and out. Should be interesting number of possibilities for outrageous sounds and sequences.

@@jblock41please share some videos when you get it set up!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks Tony! What quad LFO are you using? IMHO (no inside info), I don't think Behringer will ever revisit this product line. There are a number of third parties who are filling in the gap. I just received a kit for a HP/LP filter coupler ( see www.modulargrid.net/e/fitzgreyve-synthesis-904c-filter-coupler ). I have not built it out yet. Utility rack is a good idea. Cheers!

Hi, I have the Behringer 4 LFO and 4 VCO modules that came out a little while ago. They work quite well and really give me a lot of flexibility. I have seen that video by Fitzgeryre. He seems really great. Thanks for posting all this great content. You are the man@@ozhalljr

Interesting thought. Microtonal can be very interesting. Also, on many non pitch parameters you don't want quantization. Still, I find myself spending so much time chasing down tuning errors from a sequencer, I have largely quit using sequencers without quantizers.

@ericMT Thx for commenting. I have created an "effects" portable case so that I don't have to replicate effects modules in every format/style. One of my other viewers gave me the idea.

David! Merry Christmas. I'm familiar with the Disting, but have never owned one. A couple of EXs would set you back $800, but what a great savings in space (hp) and functionality.

@@ozhalljr it's not exactly cheap, but the functionality is unequalled. I only recently got into modular, and was a bit lost for what to get. I got an EX and a Mk 4 the other day so I can see what I need standalone, but I think it will be a while before I need to spend any more money. Ive only got a modest setup, but the Distings are really opening it up! Cheers ✌️

@@TheDavidPoole sounds like a cool setup. enjoy it!

ewww

@@ozhalljr well, I lied. I just took delivery of an Expert Sleepers FH2 and gate expansion. NOW I'll stop buying things .... except for a Novation Launchpad mini mk3 to control the sequencers (drum and melodic) on the FH2. And maybe a CV expansion for it. And. And. And! AAAARRRGGHH! THE GAS DONE GOT ME!

Thanks!

I've tried three different quantizers. The feature you need in a quantizer is the gate input to trigger a conversion. The A-156 and O&C both have that and perform well. I have another quad quantizer that does not have the gate. It's NOT 100%. Sometimes it creates interesting variations but often it is distracting. BTW, the A-156 can work w/o a gate, but it exhibits the same imprecise behavior. So ... apparently it's not the 960 but the quantizer.

Check out the 1630 Bode Frequency Shifter. That was OG Moog module that’s available from Behringer. It covers the Ring Mod requirements. I have a 3 part series on it.

@@ozhalljr thank you for recommending that module!! I will watch those series later!

That would be great.

You're right about the Bode Frequency shifter Somehow I missed the fact that this module was available. I'm working on acquiring one. The PP1 pitch to voltage converter is pretty cool, especially for guitar players and singers. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

@@aemilpeters5644 I will probably just add the Bode (which is on order) and remove the dual ADSR/LFO, since there's another LFO in the S&H/LFO/Ringmod. While the "voice" module is indeed the most "expendable" per my list, it's very handy for a sequenced voice. If the PP1 pitch to midi becomes essential, I'll probably add it to an external case, since the look is so different and it falls in the "modern" category. Let me know if you do a video on your rig.

Still a 3rd (empty) case adjacent to your current System 55 would also fit all the other extra's: second sequencer with controller and what not in the future: multiples, balanced outputs, speakers, state variable / sweepable band pass filter, a vocoder (based on e.g. Synton - a fresh offering with all individual I/O a like the later Dr. Moog vocoder is now also available) other Dr. Moog era devices, a 2-4 track (or two of these for ping-pong composing or even a drop in Model D or Korg MS20 clone as you go along - keep a lot empty because at one moment or another you wanna go from mono to stereo to quadro and then all these modern digital do it all boxes will be a double sided sword! I only have my producers do release videos after pre-payment: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kaIZWjItReI.html - www.analogfx.com/product/vxc-2220/ - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lsomotKynoo.html - all these suggestions here will fit in the existing 4 row box or in a 4th empty box, EXTRA - EXTRA _ consider the AMP MOD by Behringer for amplitude de modulations, advanced modulator including r- ring mod for harmonically correct modulations and bell/metal FM styled tones for the cheap: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hNjBMoewfCM.html
