This was a great idea. The wealth of knowledge and experience at superbooth is immense and this succinctly dips the bucket into that pool and pours a nice whee cup of inspo tea. Yum
Everyones got something to offer. I have to remind myself sometimes (it's why I love my Roland SH-09 so much) that super simple and the basics can still be so rich and engaging.
Nice, that's alorra tips. @12:26 is the simplist of them all but can be so effective. Even if you have an input attenuator, put another inbetween. Getting a full knob sweep over 1 volt rather than 10 can reveal some amazing stuff!
Looks like heaps of fun. ^^ I wonder how I can manage that clock start/stop self patching on a sequencer with a separate input for start and stop. . . I have a switch sequential switch that has stage gate outputs -- makes for a great flip flop -- that's a start. . . Even simple modules never fail to offer endless discovery. . . (side note, and I hope this isn't too far into heresy, but I actually just removed the two oscillators capable of hard syncing and replaced them with Stages and Plaits. Every other oscillator in my system uses a PLL for synchronization (Moog 921a/b clones and a dual Tidesv1 from Tesseract modular.) I haven't gotten rid of them, but now the only thing with sync in service is my Neutron. )
Hard sync. Great video Ben. I know you're always doing modular vids, was curious if you have some poly synths in your studio. Would LOVE to see a video of you highlighting them and some sounds you've created.
There's a fair bit of other things in here that I enjoy. I'll be bringing in more of my background and other things I used into the channel over the year. Starting the Pedals and Patches series I started a couple of months back.
This was a very cool idea. Interesting to see some people gravitate to the same tip (feedback for example) though perhaps for very different reasons. I feel compelled to share a tip now... I use a ducking pedal with chord that is being held, but instead of an audio signal to do the ducking (like a bass drum), I use a clock signal passing through a clock divider and I alter the rates of the clock divider. The particular one I used is a EHX Clockworks, but I imagine most any that you can control how it passes would be good. I love to move between 1-4 divisions with the 3 giving a nice timed triplet for a short couple of seconds.
A great tip! Thanks for adding that into the mix. I often use CV signals or triggers (similar the EHX Clockworks) for ducking too, rarely with a clock divider I'm changing up the division of though. That's cool.
Some great tips there also good to put some faces to names/voices/hands haha. Was Mr Hawtin's tip soooooo top that you had to keep it all to yourself?😜
What a cracking selection of tips from a bunch of lovely people. Bonus points that you managed to capture Mylar Alex using his proper northern voice and not that London/internet one he tries to fool us with usually 👍
Hard sync. Great tips! Thank you! The tip I always give to myself is to watch Div Kid reviews of modules I don't have or can't afford and then try to figure out how to pull off the same quirks, functions or effects using my array of lesser modules! There's always some food for thought or grist for the modular mill! Great stuff as always. Thank you!
A great tip! I always try to make videos have lots of ideas that are applicable to many other things. You get this obviously but for anyone reading, any filter demo I'm making - just take those filter patches and try them with filters you already have. thank you!
HARD SYNC! Interesting how the majority of these tips are some variety of recursive patching, be it feedback, fm with the same oscillator, or modulating modulators with a synched modulator. Time becomes a loop.
Hard Sync. Something I’ve been utilizing a lot lately with audio rate modulation is using it to modulate the level/wet-dry/gain on distortion effects. It gives the distortion a wildly different character
Hard Sync :) There is a famous record collector/reissue label head named Rich Haupt, every year at the Austin Record Convention (ARC) he goes around asking one or two questions to all the sellers and folks there, hearing the responses about what their first record was or whatever the question is so cool and always a highlight. I'm sure this asking of folks patch ideas is kind of time consuming but this is one of the best superbooth '24 videos I've seen, very cool!
Hard sync. To summarise: put the wires into the holes and listen on the output! That was really great. Aside from the technical content, it's lovely to see everyone's faces, and hear their enthusiasm.
as a Yorkshire folk himself, and me as a Yorkshire folk (can folk be singular?) I'll take it. I'm all for him embracing the deep depths of Yorkshire farmer vibe.
@DivKid My favorite patch idea from you is Copying the sound source ( Sine ) before a wavefolder and mixing it back it to keep the Low end intact and more Pure simple Pure Gold Cheers
Lot's off those tips are things you know but you forget sometimes. My TIP would be spend time patching Cv prossesors creatively. My sound and patching really improved with Blinds and the tiptop 257 CV processors. Falls in line with the attanuator Tip from your video. Mixing cv and letting cv control the attanuation really brings the sounds to next level.
@@DivKid I wasn't having a go at you, btw. I guess it's more a comment on the state of things in this scene, which remains predominantly male despite being a bit more diverse than a few years ago. Great video idea, anyways.
What a great video! Some of my favorite personalities in the modular community sharing some great tips! I really don't use Feedback enough. Also, modulating decay is something I have been doing more! Good stuff!
