I'm a simple man. I see a MylarMelodies video, I click like.

@7177YT 4 года назад

agreed

@myowelt 7 лет назад

Mate, you need to stop doing this, you are making me poor. Incomplete list of modules that I bought *just because of your awesome videos* : Metropolis (I was drunk), Turing Machine (I went into DIY because of you!), Intuitive Quantizer, a sequential switch, and god knows what. Oh yeah, and a Maths. Sigh.

@Jimbo386000 5 лет назад

At least drunk you has a good taste in sequencers. Haha

@gooneybird808 6 лет назад

I wish I lived somewhere where people get together and get down to modular music. Sad story - I've been trying to get my friend to buy a proper synth..so we go to guitar center...ya...the only three synths are akai whatever, korg microkorg, and Korg minilogue...he's a classically trained pianist with a $2000 Yamaha with loads of presets...so obviously he has a habit of changing presets instead of writing cool licks to my funky break beats. I try and try to explain to him the greatness of raw analog and on the fly tweaking and sound design and how subtle knob turns can change dynamic and drive of a song.....he still picks the microkorg not because of the deep digital sound design you can accomplish with a little manual flipping but because he loves all the presets.....I died inside Sorry..I have no one else to talk to Thanks

@Jimbo386000 5 лет назад

gooneybird808 Bruh. Your friend has much to learn.

@Anarchosyn 7 лет назад

You should do a video showing off the Basimilus Iteritas Alter. That short clip @1:17 sounded divine.

@Dan2Hibiki 7 лет назад

Nick Batt reference, lol. Nice vid though, thanks man

@charlesbronson2806 2 года назад

Man I held out for so long. But decided to pick up a BIA yesterday. As a techno guy this thing is king. Cant wait to try the gate pattern trick.

@DivKid 7 лет назад

Love you too sweet cheeks! haha

@kiickinballistics 4 года назад

Just keep coming back to the 1:18 insert. Ridiculous indeed. I wish I had one ☝️

@garvinkelly 2 года назад

I got one earlier this year and I have been using ornament & crime's quad turing machine mode to send lots of stepped looping cv to it. Sounds so sick and a blast to improvise with

@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung 7 лет назад

Hahahah Aleks knows how to make a Merry Fuckin Racket I'm waiting so inpatiently for my BiA . 2 months to go noooo

@brianobush 7 лет назад

So many good nuggets in here, thanks!

@noi1989 7 лет назад

Brand new to modular, but I thought I'd mention the MakeNoise Tempi. I'm having a helluva lot of fun with it and would probably pair very well with that Basimilus.. 6 gate outputs.. clock division and multiplication programmable on the fly, mute/unmute, similar buttons like on the circadian.. 10 hp.

@burakeren 7 лет назад

For rythyms have you checked the varigate 8+? Its pretty amazing for both random and specific patterns.

@kay_lpzw 7 лет назад

The Basimilus Iterites Alter seems like I was planning to do with a Achemie's Taiko, meaning to have a percussion voice that can also work as a very small synth voice too. At sooperbooth I checked the Audio Damage Proton and hell yes I fell in love with it! Now there is a third contender in the mix, damn. :D

@TheMaalis 7 лет назад

How about a Malekko Varigate for probability gate patterns?

@mylarmelodies 7 лет назад

Defo would like to try. Soooo many things. In the end you have to draw a line under it and get to know what you have

@thetaflux6267 7 лет назад

the basilimus iteritas is just disgusting...

@alternatingbitmusic 6 лет назад

1:38 "it might be a very proto-techno show, em... but that would be awesome!" LOL. Indeed

@julianjacques6590 7 лет назад

One potential option for signal routing might be to look at the Erica Synths pico switch. It's just below £30, 3hp, passive and has 3 ins to 1 out (or vice versa), so a couple of them would only use 6hp and each would give 3 selectable sources / destinations :-). May be worth checking out rather than splitting the switched multiple!

@jeffhammel4305 4 месяца назад

"...instead of removing some things, I bought a new case." Awesome. That saves me from writing the annoying: "You need a new case" comment. :P Thanks for the video! Good stuff!

@Dogboy73 3 года назад

I just fucking bought one (BIA). Should be here soon. Can't wait to get my mitts on this bad boy :D

@EdEditz 2 года назад

I just got my BIA in. I choose it as my first bought Eurorack module (alongside some utility modules like a dual LFO and dual voltage processor I built myself) and already my setup sounds amazing. I don't think it will ever be replaced :)

@njdpdv 2 года назад

3 (light)years ago, I watched this video, watched Rubadub's video and soon after the Basimilus Iteritas Alter was my first module. Things escalated pretty quick pretty savagely. Thanks for luring me into the eurocrack domain. Regumentally thankful. 💛

@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER 7 лет назад

Looks like an awesome module. Been eyeing it up. You in Brighton this weekend?

@mylarmelodies 7 лет назад

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER Its a winner. no regrets! yes i am, will say hi!

@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER 7 лет назад

cool! ill be on sunday. so yeah! see you then :)

@0Metatron 7 лет назад

For more patterns in a small space try the Antimatter Launch Codes. It's so good for just firing out any pattern thats in your head and it will quantise it and loop it automatically, plus you can save them afterwards. Simon from London Modular recommended one to me and I am totally in love with it

@markanquoe2612 6 лет назад

The hidden module is a Rabid Elephant Natural Gate isn't it? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

@danielsolomon63 7 лет назад

I almost died on th Nick Batt reference :D :D.

@tomwatson7626 7 лет назад

ha, before you even said 'the other people place' I thought 'drexciya'. while we're on the subject of minimal funk, do you have any recommendations for modules that would help get an SND typa vibe going quickly in a live situation? again, thanks for the content dude, well actually I'm not sure if I should thank you because my savings have got no hope now, but yeh, should be able to free up a few more quid n support you on patreon soon too. brrrr'uppp

@deejaydubla 7 лет назад

Totally agree with your Akemie's Taiko/BIA comparison. Also: you should maybe have a look at the Knight's Gallop from Shakmat if you're wanting to conserve some space. It only outputs two triggers, but they interact with each other in ways that would probably appeal to you. Plus it's only 8 hp and £93.20 (DIY kit from Thonk).

@AlexKislitsyn 7 лет назад

i touched that case

@alexjann9349 7 лет назад

He told me to f* buy one too... man alive it's the $hit! Fav module evaaaaaaa

@babyswindle 7 лет назад

Agree with the simplicity commentary - Speaking of Der Zyklus - listen to any Gerald Donald tracks - so much precision

@RawVeganRising 7 лет назад

This is a f-ing awesome video man! Documenting the building of your live rig is so informative and really sparks the conversation of how to design a purpose-built coherent system. Really great!

@jamiestewart1644 6 лет назад

der zyklus and The Other People Place = Drexciya. Good call!

@gabrielmanzanedo 7 лет назад

Holy fucking shit god damn it! It moves up on the list.

@meboyme 3 года назад

Your Rabid Elephant natural gate can come out from it's hiding place now. :)

@theinternetseekers2436 7 лет назад

Benders music is super simple i know he has a huge setup but really his actual compositions are super super simple just perfected. A great mentor of mine told me once that "its not the notes you play its the silence between them" xD kind of what your saying i think

@GuitarsAndSynths 6 лет назад

You can get by with just an Elektron Octatrack and 3 modules- save 40k that way bro

@mylarmelodies 6 лет назад

Or one Digitakt

@ben-7403 7 лет назад

Geert Huinink same

@chemicalBR0 7 лет назад

wow this thing is incredible, now i have to rethink some stuff ....... thanks man ;) 13:30 -16 mins ish, you could more or less play that out on its own. (i'd be dancing that's for sure)

@mylarmelodies 7 лет назад

Haha, yep my hands at 13:34 are basically me going "There you go. Thats a tune."

@SquarepusherCentral 7 лет назад

Check out Dopplereffekt's Gesamtkunstwerk for similar minimal but totally great electro. And most Drexciya is in that vain too, obviously.

@makeshiftsavant Год назад

I keep around 172hp per row power 45 and it's hot to the touch after about an hour, I can't even imagine what yours must feel like after 20 minutes.

@mylarmelodies Год назад

It surprised me that it worked!!! The uzeus is a beast. Having the bigger PSU into it is important though. And yes ideally don’t stretch your PSU…

@thetaflux6267 7 лет назад

Consider the delptronics trigger man for randomness too

@NickHchaos 7 лет назад

Contrast: Yes, that's why CounterPoint is a very central idea of western music. Closely related I would say, is the use of space. Miles Davis understood that better than almost anyone, except possibly for the guy he copied, who's still recording: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SiARr9JhLEo.html

@carianoff 7 лет назад

Love hearing your process. You rambled through some issues I have or had thought about.

@GuitarsAndSynths 6 лет назад

I would add in a wave table synth like Waldorf and FM synth module like Akamie's Castle and use just that and Basilimus Alter to play a show with only 3 modules! Not sure why guys have to spend 50-100k in modules?

@martinhyland4556 Год назад

Did you ever do a video on Copper Traces Seek? I own one and would love to see you use it.

@djsyndicate0001 4 года назад

Broke down and had to "just fucking buy one" haha!! Excellent video man! That loop at 1:25 is insane!!!!!!! :D

@chupathingy5862 10 месяцев назад

Welp, just bought one. Thanks for wasting my money for me.

@mylarmelodies 10 месяцев назад

Not a waste!!

@williamthazard 2 года назад

really interesting window into your thought process! It's so easy to allow things to get overly complicated, and I appreciate your emphasis on paring down and embracing simplicity. Thanks for sharing this

@martiansonmaui1749 4 года назад

i got my BIA last week, using it with a Beat-step Pro, Octo-controller, Erica Synth Dual FX and a couple of Pico Drums...GAAAH!

@ParalysedGekko 7 лет назад

20:20 "...and then i've got the octocontroller supplying pulse width modulation and keep Nick back happy." Fell of my chair laughing...nice one! :D

@louisservet7931 4 года назад

i love your channel name because it sounds like a Joycean bilingual portmanteau creation : my - larme ("tear" in french) - melodies. Maybe this has already been highlighted though ;) Also, wonderful content, thanks !

@hazymind8684 6 лет назад

Basimilus Iteritas Alter is insane ! They are unfortunately out of stock everywhere... Any idea where to get it ?

@Faenith 6 лет назад

As always an awesome video from you! Please, what are these screws you are using to house your modules? I have only two of them, received with a module, but I'd like to use only these screws in my rack if possible...where can I find these screws? Thx by advance!

@v47_music 5 лет назад

I’ve just fed grids outputs to BIA I’m happy that I’ve just fucking got one.

@originaali 5 лет назад

Sometimes i like to slow these down to speed 0.25 so it sounded like you are drunk 😂. It is very entertaining. Im starting to think im simple 🤔 .. 0:28---> your welcome 😂..

@julianm8845 5 лет назад

Can someone please point me in the right direction for a small (less than 10hp) sequencer module to go with a basimilus iteritas? maybe a varigate 4+?

@maxmatson1578 4 года назад

in a weird way I see a lot of similarities with the "B.I.A." and Korg "monologue" I have the monologue myself, and know that people like to use it as a pseudo drum synthesizer. I wonder if I could get similar sounds from that?

@Ellotus13 7 лет назад

Hey man, you're the reason I got into modular in the first place, thank you for that! I have a question: could you do a more in depth video on BIA? It's one of the coolest modules I've seen and there are criminally few videos on it! You mentioned that in order to really make it flourish and expand, you'd need a ton of modulation. So could you pair this up with say Erica Synths Black Octasource and unlocks it's true potential?

@phosfiend 7 лет назад

Fucking rad tip sending gates into the mod ins - going to do this with OG BI and my pair of Shapeshifters ASAP

@mylarmelodies 7 лет назад

Defo add an attenuverter for max enjoyment

@phosfiend 7 лет назад

defo indeed, the original BI can be pretty frustrating without one & I often employ one (or two). Interestingly, the original BI might be especially suited to this technique - it's a bit shite for normal CVs ergonomics-wise as the knobs are attenuators when something is patched in (thus losing whatever you dialed in), but when feeding gates might be pretty rad? Can't wait to try it. I just got a Varigate 8+ with the hopes of moving towards playing live, very much in the same philosophy as what you're proposing here; so big thanks for these vids, super insightful :)

@richarquis Год назад

@ 4m 19s... "Regimentally" is the word you were looking for. Bid of a f***ing sad state of affairs how late I turned up to the party now, wasn't it?

@mylarmelodies Год назад

Ha. Not too late to nab one I’m sure?!

@richarquis Год назад

I hope not! I was planning on ordering a Polydactyl Versio next month, but since BIA is the same price, and won't be around for long, I'm gonna go with that instead, and get the PV later. BIA has been on my "Ahhh, someday" list for a while, but now it has moved forward quite a few steps. On the bright side though, I finally got Morphagene 2 weeks ago, and Mimeophon yesterday. I'm doin' okay. @@mylarmelodies

@thetaflux6267 7 лет назад

great video, wow we play so incredibly different great stuff tho! we use like similar modules in completely different ways haha

@timmyjohnslats 6 лет назад

Drexciya!!!

@TRUEiMPROrecords 7 лет назад

This module is already a techno Holy Grail, selling way over rsp as used.. I hope Noise Engineering keeps on expanding on a killer concept with these modules!

@curtainsinmotion 3 года назад

Great video! Those gates you feed into the different controls of the BIA, could they also be just triggers? Or do they need to be longer, say a 1/16 note gate.

@wackenthaljef 7 лет назад

waaaaoww there are so much vids ,i didnt saw yours,but now i will! Thanks a lot.For once thats very aidful! thanks sir!

@diglet553 7 лет назад

Top vid man, nice to see your live system developing. I'm after building one primarily based around acid house but with the ability to go beyond that.

@CaptureWhispers 7 лет назад

Big ups for shouting out Drexcyia. They have inspired my live set as well.

@2mbst1 5 лет назад

Holymoly. Okay, this went straight into the top tier list of modules i'll have to try. the sounds are exactly my type of stuff. awesome.

@Dogboy73 3 года назад

Should I sell my DFAM and get a BIA? One drum / percussion monster for another with much, much less HP (I have the DFAM in my case as desktop real estate is more valuable than Mayfield, London!!).

@Dogboy73 3 года назад

...... decided to have a reshuffle. DFAM going back in it’s case and moving to desktop, freeing up 60hp in my Mantis case. BIA will be one of the first new additions. Fucking yes ha 😜

Catching up on your videos and love the sneaky covering of the natural gate 😉 no longer a secret...

@LarsDanielTerkelsen 4 года назад

I just love the fact, that you used a DX7 cartridge to cover up the secret module. 😆 Been quite some time since I had one of those. Decades, actually.

@delta-9969 4 года назад

The Other People Place is awesome. Good that you mentioned it. I'd like to know, in your opinion which would be a good module to create that Detroit'ish pads. Shapeshifter maybe?

@mylarmelodies 7 лет назад

Akemie's Castle! :) Two-Op FM with reverb FTW
