Been in modular for a few years now, and even still I so appreciate when videos actually show the * process* of building a patch from scratch. So many videos edit out the parts where the artist changes their mind, or makes a mistake, and then will go on to use language like "obviously" and "of course". The reality is that this is an art form which is still in development, maybe perpetually in development, so there is no benefit to projecting the image that you know everything, or that you aren't experimenting every time you go to patch. Thanks Lightbath- keep it up!

@daydreamjohnny 5 лет назад

For someone with a modular setup this was so fun to watch. The moments where you're trying to change a voice and you have three cables in your hands and your brain overloads "wait, what comes from where, goes to where"... the euphoric moments when you have an idea and it works 1st try... when something changes for the worse and you can't figure out why... That's why modular is so so inspiring, fun, challenging and good for the soul. To be able to go through all of that live, have it sound good and be entertaining is very impressive. Thanks for taking the time.

I think this video has finally convinced me to start my first modular synth. I've often felt a detachment when watching videos of peoples brilliant sounding patches, but here we get to experience the journey, and it turns out the journey IS the music, not what you end up with after the patching is done. It's almost as if the music dies when the patching stops. Beautiful.

@techsture 3 года назад

I love this for so many reasons: 1.) A look into the process. 2.) The explanations of everything. 3.) Mistakes happen. 4.) It takes a long time. #4 might be the most important because usually in videos creators are only showing the end result. This makes most people say "wow, so easy, I need this module, or that module." Worst case, especially in the case of generative systems, people say "geez, not even making music, it just does it for you!" Seeing that you can't just plug stuff in for 5 minutes and have the end result is definitely worth showing. Bravo, this was a great video, and I'd love to see more!

@Lightbath 3 года назад

Thanks! I really appreciate your reflection on this. I think I’ll do more of these this winter once I reassemble the large system.

@TheSpyFishMan 4 года назад

I'd love to hear more of this type of spontaneous experimentation at the patch board. The creative whispers and whimpers are just as much apart of the sound as the synth and the sight of that growing web of gelatinous cables is as mesmerizing as watching the musician crouched over his array of knobs meticulously tinkering.

@ethermod307 5 лет назад

Alternative title: "Inside the head of a master". I also have an interesting thought about the clocking of Marbles and Batumi messing up with that. Marbles is life, our everyday natural rhythms. Batumi is the events that happen that give our life a more meaningful purpose, push us forward, advancing our rhythms. What a genius idea to have the music move in different levels!

@lucafrancinimusic 4 года назад

I've spent the last minutes thinking about Marbles and Batumi relationship and you got close to my vision of it. I think Marbles is Earth ecosystem while Batumi modulating his rate is humans. With our actions we change our own world, that answers back by pushing us, amplifying our actions in a mad symbiotic loop. Trippy :)

Thank you so much for this video. I am building my first modular synth, 10U. It was very helpful for you to talk through the patch as you made it. I don't have the same modules, but I do have the same functions. I've been using the Richter Wogglebug and a Turing Machine as dual sources of random pitch CV, and the Rene as a single source of sequenced notes. What I don't have, but will be investigating, is an audio repeater function like Morphagene. Thanks again!

Awesome! I've been wanting someone to do a complete patch from scratch. I love that you left all the moments of confusion and second guessing. I would love to take it one step further from the very start like how are your VCO's tuned? What was your mood and inspiration for the composition. I truly love this concept and welcome more vérité style. I've learned so much from this.

@Lightbath 5 лет назад

Ah, nice. That’s a good point for me to mention in the next one: the fact that I always tune all VCOs to C. As for the mood/inspiration there really wasn’t any. I just wanted to show Mimeophon using my ‘standard STO thing’ and then combine that with the bell sounds. The rest just happened.

@Lightbath 5 лет назад

Thanks. Yeah, that's the thing. All of the editing is what is causing it. I might look into some sort of ergonomic controller for all of the most-used NLE/DAW commends. But yeah, I love STO. I sort of want two more. M Geddes Gengras is another good example of a quad STO user.
