Love your channel, and it's especially nice because my rack has nearly the same modules + a digitakt! Thanks for being thorough with your patch walkthroughs - very helpful to a new modular user. Ataraxic is wicked.
As always a great video! Just seeing this one now, mainly because I’m orienting myself on the NE modules. Especially the Ataraxic. Your vids are the best to get a good opinion 👍🏻 Thanks by the way for the side-tip on the 1U VCA!! Never thought of that and just ordered one 😂
Great video. Your description is very clear and the walkthrough is very helpful to someone that knows very little about this module. You’d be a good teacher! Keep it up 🙂
Thank you, Kevin! I am glad you liked it! MD is definitely one of my favourite modules. There is also a way to "shred" or randomise voltage values within 1 octave. It gives sort of attenuated CV for modulation too. LO is great too, I have another video on my channel where I talk about it a little: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IRHKDxyumHQ.html
Another great one! Forgot how good the ZOIA sounds, as soon as you turned on that Chorus, it really opened things up nicely (especially wearing headphones). Keep it up, really enjoying this series of patching from scratch! I haven't touched my OT in a while, but you're certainly putting a lot of ideas in my head and helping out with the motivation!
Hey Matt! Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to me and motivates me to continue! I really appreciate you hanging here! ZOIA became a swiss knife for me! For effect or even for rhythmic modulation! Plug the MIDI clock into it, LFO into Filter Cutoff or Chorus mix... oh man, I can keep going...
This is an excellent teaching video on how to utilize the electronic equipment one has- based around a small, yet , thoughtfully well chosen set of modules along with the issue of how to use attenuation among your modules. You also went through how to create a Thumping, danceable Techno song! Great video...very well done. I love Noise Engineering Modules as well- wish they would put together a group of their modules in a small palette - do a few of them, and sell them that way...include the wall plug + some patch cables. They can name the Palettes with Modules Sets in that quasi Latin they use! There could be a "Beginners Set", a "Drums Delight", "Techno/Sound Art" etc... Perhaps I should send them this idea💡. Keep doing your videos and music, groovy stuff and I enjoy what you play + what you say. Bravo~ 💥🎵🙉🤙
Hey Eleni! Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate you hanging here! I think your idea is great and you can address it to Noiseeng themselves rather. Tho I wonder what it would be if Noiseeng create 1U modules 🤓
Thank you! Totally valid point! However I resample 64 steps just for sake of simplicity. And I've never reached that recording time limit yet. So I guess it is fine like that!
Another fantastic tutorial - really love your work on these. And you've put together a great case with some powerful modules. I'm thinking of getting the Mimetic Digitalis as a hands-on groove module. But I've read that you need to pair it with Scales to quantise for it to be useful. What's your take - can the MD be used directly into a VCO without quantisation or does it really need to be quantised to be useful?
Thanks! I am glad you like it! MD can be used without Scales indeed. So one way is to enter values manually. If you press the knob and then rotate - it advances on 1 semitone. I often do that for a repetitive techno lead. Where all steps will be 0 and some +N semitones. Another way is to "shred" and listen. You might also press 0 button to change the notes you don't like into the root one. Also Mimetic is good for modulation too. I often use it for an accent or a reverb / chorus mix.
Thank you! The mic is Devine BM-500 and it is a good mic. But to be honest I find it a little tricky to record my voice on it for videos. It is made kinda for vocals. Hence I have to talk directly into it to get good sound. And this is not handy while filming a tutorial.
Wonderful video. I too have an octa and modular with Ataraxic. My question: how do you keep the sample quality high? Octa at factory settings always seems to slightly degrade the sample quality when sampling my modular. Many thanks amigo!!
Thanks for tuning in, Ben! Much appreciated!✌️ Octatrack recorder by default is 44.1kHz and 16bit. In settings you can change it to record in 24 bit. Check User Manual 44.1kHz at 24bit is enough so far.
@@unifiedfield_thisisit man, I don’t know how RU-vid does this, but it cuts half of the comment!!! I mentioned this: Check user manual 8.6.5 MEMORY and for me 44.1kHz and 24 bit is enough! Sorry
I wish it would be cheaper. But to be honest I consider the Modular as kind of investment. Most of the modules I buy used. They will be sold in the future for about that same price I got them for. In return I have fun with them ;)
@@IhorMedia I decided to build my own. So far I have two 3340 VCO, MS20 low pass VCF, A 3 channel Mixer, a yusynth Envelope generator and Kassutronics simple VCA. Will be building a couple of LFOs and some vactrol VCAs. I’m sequencing it with the Beatstep pro. A TR8 and octatrack for drums, samples, looping. Loving the vids. They’re very inspiring.
@@M4ST_ building you mean like building the module yourself? Like soldering and stuff like that? This is extremely tricky thing, I guess. Thanks for your kind words about my vids. It means to me a lot.
