Fun to watch! It hasn't been that long since I started so I very well recall the mixed feelings of excitement and confusion. You've put together a very balanced system. I can't recall if the Batumi is triggerable. If so, then you have another potential envelope generator. Disting + Turing Machine will be a nice completion of this row, for sure.

Yes indeed, I also have a Beatstep Pro but both of them bring weird things to the table with pitch and octaves being all over the place. It's so very unlike MIDI - i've a lot more reading and tinkering to do to understand what's happening there.

Interesting because that's the reason why I like using Mother 32 for sequencing, that and the Korg SQ-1. With MIDI I always program more or less the same patterns, but these hardware units help me get results that I wouldn't have thought of in a DAW. From one eurorack newbie to another, you'll be thankful for Maths and definitely look into the Disting (I have two). And if you have space, try and fit a low pass gate in there like the Make Noise LxD - check out Learning Modular's video on it.

Avoid Mutable Instruments?? NEVER!! My favorite modular company. I realize this video is 4 years old. Presently I own: Clouds, Beads, Elements, Rings, 2 x Plaits, 2 x Tides, Warps, Veils, and Marbles. As for Maths, I had one and got rid of it after a time. I just couldn't find enough uses for it to justify the 20hp of rack space it was taking up. So I replaced Maths with two Cosmotronic Delta-V function generator modules at 10hp each. Each module has two channels of snappy envelopes, LFOs, built-in VCAs, etc.

Just installed my first module a week or so ago. A Tip Top Audio Fold Processor in to a Tip Top Audio Happy Ending kit. Already had a Kilpatrick Audio Phenol & a set of banana to mini jack cables. Was very satisfying installing my first module. I’m hooked now. Looking to the second. I’m in no rush as I have all the basics with the Phenol. Looking to add to its capabilities. Maybe a Maths? I also like the Erica stuff. And I’d like an Expert Sleepers ES-8 for connection between software and hardware. I’m thinking VCO that also goes low enough to be an LFO. Some way of taking a signal, splitting and mangling beyond comprehension and beyond! Like the look of the Worng Vector Space. So many options, so little rack space ........

this is THE BEST "intro to modular" video i've seen yet. also, if i ever DID build a modular, your thinking is on a similar page as me... modules that add to TONE are essential, digital stuff is annoying, and who needs sequencers? i haven't been impressed with maths either as all the videos i've seen for it have been mind numbing make it stop! "sequencery" stuff instead of chunky bass & lead tones. my understanding of synths is rudimentary, so it's nice that you explain why you chose specific modules besides the maths you were forced into buying kicking & screaming. besides oscilators, envelope generators & filters (arp wet, distorting attitude, & vocal sounding), i'd go for a ring modulator, sample & hold, some kind of distortion/flanger, midi to CV, and pitch & envelope followers for tone shaping & processing audio before a maths too. not everyone does "knob twisting synthesis"... especially those godawful annoying filter sweeps! LOL i'd try to build something like an arp 2600 with a twist of buccla attitude. never been a fan of "cheesy 1970s sci-fi" moog sound. arps sound juicier (the filters) & more interesting to me. anyways, like you mentioned in the previous video i watched, this is a fun vicarious watch & is so far about the same kind of tone-centric kind of hot rodded synth i'd build too, though i really liked a larger wavetable oscillator i saw with more knobs and some pretty cool tones & maybe more of them along with a knob based FM module. as to modules like clouds, samplers & granulators... WHY?! you can do THAT junk in software & better.

So if I am trying to build a basic modular setup that is affordable and portable at the very bare minimum I would need: 1) Power+case+patch cables 2) keyboard controller+sequencer 3) VCO- oscillators x 2 4) VCF- filter 5) Mixer 6) Modulators- LFOs x2 7) Envelope generators (ADRS)x2 8) Modular Synth unit- Mother 32 or Dark Matter come to mind 9) Drum synth sequencer/sampler for bass AND last but not least: The Maths! How many power supplies would you need for 10-12 modules in a 85HP two row configuration?

I would say: lose the keyboard. If you have Maths then you don’t need those two envelopes. You don’t need a mixer you need a VCA, a quad VCA would be ideal. If you are starting with modules then you don’t need a semi-modular. That should save you a few quid. But the key to modular is that there are no right answers 😊

The cool thing with maths is that you can patch the end of rise and end of cycle out as clock or trigger sources, then put those into something like your envelope generator and it will trigger the eg. also, using maths in cycle or even batumi, you can plug those into the cv ins on your vca and get rhythmic gating effects.

Hi Robin, thanks a load! This has been the most useful "modular" vid I have yet seen. How quickly you could get interesting sounds out of a basic set-up. I have avoided Eurorack, thinking "This way madness lies..." or "Such a lot of money to make fart noises" (have you ever been to a modular synth meet? Farts galore!). But this has made me want to investigate further. I will follow your advice but my own mind is going down the "Standard system from a manufacturer (eg Doepfer)" and then add more and yet maybe that's not the best way... Much research to be done. Thanks for the advice in your previous videos and the tips. BTW just wanted to say that I have also been fascinated by Erica too...

congrats on the new system! i think a dedicated EG and Maths are good to have, though Maths can do envelope duties. A very basic patch for Maths as an attack/decay envelope would be to take a vco output to an input on Veils. Then take the output of either side of Maths into the cv input on Veils. If Maths is in cycle mode, adjusting the rise and fall can produce a tremolo style sound, always running. Or you could turn cycle off and send a gate or trigger to the "Trig" input, like from the M32, to gate the envelope. Sending a signal into the input with an arrow will "slew" the signal based on the rise and fall times. Hope this helps a little! Maths is super deep but incredibly useful after you spend some time with it.

@MoltenMusicTech
6 жыл бұрын
I wasn't doing any sequencing in this video. I was triggering sounds on the M-32 by pressing on its keyboard - the little buttons along the M-32 make up a crude piano keyboard. The only connection is taking the VCA (audio output) of the M-32 through the modular filter and effects. If i want to to sequence other oscillators from the M-32 i would have to connect up the keyboard output to the other oscillator and then the gate output to an envelope which controls the level of that oscillator through a VCA. Yes, there's lots to learn :)
@PoyntToo

Molten Music Technology ahh yes. Sorry my terminology is incorrect but I think I see what you mean. When you play the keyboard at the start when you are testing the first oscillator you just have the audio output of the M32 going into the oscillator? I am just confused how you are playing the little keyboard on the M32 and making it play the Eurorack stuff as I dont see any other cables from the M32 except the pink one going into Ext Audio In. Thanks for your reply. :)
@MoltenMusicTech
6 жыл бұрын
No, you are a bit confused. The m32 has an audio output on the back. I plug this into speakers, I play keys and sound of m32 is heard. The keys/buttons change the pitch and also fire the envelope (or open the gate) in the m32 so that the sound of the m32 is heard. Nothingto do with any other module at this point - all right so far? We want to hear the ST0 oscillator so I plug it into the external input on the m32. The external input acts just like the oscillator inside the m32. So you only hear the external input when you press a button which opens the gate or fired the envelope. A knob on the m32 alters the mix between the m32 sound and the external input. I clearly show in the video turning it one way to hear the m32 and the other to hear the ST0. I am at no point playing the ST0, I am simply opening the gate to let the sound through. You’ll then see me change the pitch of the ST0 with it’s tuning knob. Listen to what I am saying in the video. I hope that helps.

Didn't you talk about how the Virtual eurorack was teaching you what and how to patch? Molten Modular 3 was it. in this regard this feels a bit unprepared. but then, adding what i know so far (teaching myself about the electrical parts for 2 weeks now since i want to diy my setup): as far i know the MATH is an LFO/Envelope/Mixer mixture, so it generates, mix and modifys CV signals. You get a Trigger,Pitch and Gate from your semimodular synth, also you have an sequencer in there. pitch -> VCO Gate -> Math/envelope -> mix it with a LFO -> VCA/all the filter Inputs i would actually look to get some way of drums in to the rack, also ideas are: Noise, sample and hold, sequencer (so it can operate fully standalone) I look Forward to your first steps, may be they change my way of thinking about my future modular. HAVE FUN! [ that's the Main Part ;) ] about my plans: Personally i want to go full diy and i am planning to build all my first modules myself ( cgs.synth.net/modules/ a lot of work already done) the CV side of modular synth is for me the most interesting part, like building Pitch -> Envelope -> VCO to get a gliding voice adding an lfo to the mix and you get a varying gliding voice were the amount of the variation can also be controlled. Thinking about what i want to build, i go kinda crazy and in the and i reach like 5 envelopes, 2-3LfO, a vew mixers etc just to control every aspect of the sound over time etc, you have so many entry points to modify your signal, its just horrible and beautiful. i want to finally start building but the parts need to to be ordered, they are so many xD

It's true, Softube Modular is immensely helpful, but it doesn't make you an instant whizz at everything - i still need to think about it. However, having physical modules and cables helps you learn really fast. I built it three weeks ago so i've worked a few things out since - the video had to wait for me to film the other one first, if that makes sense. Onwards and upwards! :)

Just wanted to add that the Maths also makes an AWESOME CV-able slew limiter! great for processing V/Oct CV.

What type of budget do you need for this?

As large as you like. Modules range from around £100-£500 each. Cheaper if you go for DIT kit versions - but it all depends on the modules you buy. My first rack probably cost around £2000 - you can try out different combinations on ModularGrid.net and it'll tell you how much they cost - like my one here: www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/418259

Like any addiction, the first module is relatively cheap. Eventually, you’ll mortgage away your house and car and retirement account.

Boris Chang The plus side is that you can lose your life but still have 50k modular system that your kids csn pawn for 1oo bucks.

It's a thing of beauty. I hope you'll do some videos of your songs/creative expression to see how it turns out. Whenever I get into something new, I always read about people suggesting things I wasn't as interested in either. For instance, when I wanted to learn piano/keyboards, many say, "Get a full-size 88-key". But then later you get a smaller one & find out you really didn't need the full-size. I was looking at prices and I thought the Mother 32 was $500 but $600...I bet all of it sounds really good...analog hardware probably just sounds better (I assume it's analog).

At this point, I'm thinking that maybe using a series of 2hp modules might be the way to go for expansion due to how much more you can get in a very small space. The only puzzle for me is how many 2hps can you fit into that skiff before you run out of power or slots to plug into. Need to do more research on that...

Yes that’s an issue I’ve never found a solid answer for. Can you just piggy back in some more flying bus cables or do you run out of power?

@@MoltenMusicTech So far I haven't even found a screenshot of a skiff loaded with 2hps yet. I'll probably have to email the company & see what they suggest. I hope they have a sol'n that doesn't cost additional small fortunes. :)

When are you going to do a Bitwig Studio 2 review? Doesn't it work with CV now or better than it used to? I'd like the review to be 6 videos of 1 hour each...a very thorough review. :-)
