This is a weird analog polysynth 

I suppose it COULD have been bluetooth, but ya gotta cut them a little poetic license

Also plane travel sometimes does feel like teleporting I find (wake up in yorkshire, go to bed in california etc)

Haha, I know that quite well@@PortableCoincidenceMachine

And to make matters worse, it all ends up in psychosis.

Or have the midi inputs all normalize to the previous module via small cables on the back of the module.

🧈🧈🧈✨

Nice groovebox!

thanks 🙌🙌🙌

🙌 thanks m8

Meant to bleep that but it snuck in(!) Welp, one sometimes can’t help it.

You’re welcome petal 🌭

What is the ART you speak of

@@ukuranew tech from tiptop audio :)

@@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES oooh. Which module youre referring to? they have a few art modules what would you recommend in addition to the telepathy?

Thanks! Yea this is a paid demo as I’m full time making videos (gotta pay that child care!! 🥶). I didn’t get to keep the machine alas, I wouldn’t mind having at least a few telepathies to make a poly but I have got a Nymphes…

Ha, thanks Alex!! Yeah and ofc the idea is one we can pretty easily apply with layering in a DAW, or clever MIDI routing.

@@mylarmelodies Using Telepathy modules looks a lot more fun!

It is the coolest groovebox of 2024

What synth?

That’s the Making Sound Machines Stolperbeats sequencing the 6mod6 - defo a good combo, enjoying it

Thanks! Def checking those out

A really flexible CV controller (in my case keyboard) would be helpful. The Arturia Keystep Pro gets you 4 zones I think but doesn’t have any poly address of its own unfortunately. Like you can’t play all zones at once for poly. I guess there’s nothing out there so far.

yeah would definitely have to get some right angled TRS cables seen to. It’d be annoying reaching over cables all the time.

It’s defo not like using a trad poly (but then it isn’t one!) but FWIW it wasn’t too hard to learn the structure and then have a good idea how to bang thru and edit it. But one major thing to highlight is you can control it with MIDI CCs, so the option is there to map something to control it (hardware or software!).

Not to mention it'd be at least twice the size if it was knob-per-function! Sizecrafices!

Sounds simply beautiful! But yeah, each voice is $300… sooo… 👀

Look at the price of the actual bundle! (The thing in the video is a bundle you can buy which is significantly cheaper than buying all the parts separately)

@@mylarmelodies $1200 isn’t crazy for a true analog poly, especially one with patch points. Cool

🤣 made me laugh this, please pass my apologies to your partner

@@mylarmelodies she said apology accepted if you pony up for the summer holiday in Greece I’ve just spent thanks to you matey😂. Keep up the good work :)

I definitely had it slightly out of tune at certain moments, can't be sure whether that was it needing a tune (there's a routine you can run to autotune each Telepathy) or user error (you can freely tune the oscs with the 'Hz' page, so it's possible to knock each one out by degrees if you wish, plus you can apply modulation to pitch), as I do like that woozy slightly detuned aphex vibe.

Microtonal! Like!

I’ve definitely heard it being slightly out of tune in other demos too. Kinda important for the oscillators at least as I’d want to be calculated about beating. Gonna have to try one out I suppose, hopefully the autotune will keep it in check.

🐄

Until the the last section it's all either dry or the built in FX of Psychosis, but the last jam has some big reverb from Tiptop Z5000 on the pads!

@@mylarmelodies sounds great, you the man Mylar thank you for your wizardry!

The point of modular is that you can custom create your own dream synth/sampler/granular mangler/MultiFX/MIDI controller/etc. and a mix of everything inbetween! All with every possible feature you could imagine-and MORE-in exactly the layout you want. But even more importantly; the PATCHING is modular as well! So you can run anything you want through anything else, simultaneously, unlike a standard hardwired synth where you can only run an Osc through a specific chain with no ability to change it... And modular has full-Analog/DSP/hybrid forms of everything, as well as module-formatted versions of all the most famous synth voices, filter topologies, envelope generation, etc. - you could build a custom OB-6 + MS-20 hybrid, with a built in Euclidean step sequencer & 5 different filters. The possibilities & customization is literally only as limited as your imagination.

@@goonfish yeah I have a fairly large eurorack system but I am against polysynth approaches in modular. It's too many resources to create something really simple compared to what you can do with a polysynth. Modular is ideal for monophonic or potentially paraphonic patches. I have both the Minifreak and Poly Brute, and they do a fairly good job of finding the sweet spot between modular and keyboard synths with their mod matrixes and options.

I know what you mean regarding resources to make a modular poly, it’s a massive effort just to make something coherent/in tune. IMHO I think the Telepathy approach has legs (hence agreeing to do this project) as you can get a few voices of poly, with presets, recall, individual CV control for each module, in a small space and minimal faff.

@@mylarmelodies yeah, I think you demonstrated that well.

thanks!! two things - I have scale quantisation on the keyboard engaged, and you can freely tune the Telepathy VCOs!

fair nuff - you could at a push DIY new panels! Or one massive panel for all of em

haha, the tricky bit I found was breaking and remapping the setup once set up one way, but you basically have to just start from scratch.

@@mylarmelodies Yep, no presets for all those wires!

@@RikMaxSpeed Actually there are presets! You can save presets and recall em in the units

Sorry what plugin?

@@mylarmelodies sorry I was typing in the comments on another channel while making food , and autoplay brought up this video before I was able to submit my comment to the video I meant to. lol.

​@@mylarmelodies Anyways love your channel all the same. The interviews is what attracted me to you in the first place. I dont even own any modular gear. I do have an idea that eurorack will definitely, be the optimal solution for, but I'm ADHD so I have schematics mapped out in my head for years and years worth of projects, so it could take some time before I'm able to see that through. Although all your evangelism on the subject of live looping has been extremely helpful in regards to the kit Im currently piecing together for a live hardware setup. Which will be A Norand mono, erica synths LXR-02, model samples, 1010 bluebox as my mixer, live looper, and master compressor, and a strymon el capistan, and, chroma console. also a midi controller to use with the bluebox.

Case isn’t rackable (without a bit of welding!) but you could transplant the modules into another case

@@mylarmelodies I see, thanks for answering. Do you think I could integrate this synth with the patchbay on my Minibrute 2?

@@itsJoel59 Ya, they both speak CV

the ooft was strong with this one 🪺

2ms at most.

@@alexandrosliarokapis227 you made the product? Could be anything if not. 2ms per is no fun, but also not sure how you could say at most unless you make the product. (I do engineer products like this, and see no reason one could know the most latency another engineer could have landed on there.)

@@lee_at_sea Yes, I work at Dreadbox, hi :) ! Midi is directly passthrough in the main path so main latency is due to the inherent midi baudrate. This is around ~0.25ms latency per unit, so the 2ms was for the full 8 unit chain.

@@alexandrosliarokapis227 ahh. Sub MS per unit is really good! Kudos on getting it that tight, and thanks for the info. :)

Quite the deal innit

Sorry you don't like the cover of my book m8! But take it from someone who's been making demo videos and tutorials about synth gear continually for 12 plus years that you either try to distil the essence of what's interesting or different about your video and communicate that in the title and thumbnail, or people don't bother to watch it.

my brother in christ this reaction is so over the top dramatic and you should be embarrassed for have typed it

Embarrassing comment

Did you see the price of the bundle? The price of the Telepathy Bundle is IMHO quite a surprising discount on the price of the individual parts - currently £1219 in the UK which is inc VAT. Whereas a Telepathy alone is about £240. You basically pay for about five telepathies and get a sixth, plus mixer, plus case.

@@mylarmelodies I didn't see that no. That's very nice including the case and mixer.
