I hope this shows you can do a lot of things live. Did you notice the 3D sound on your headphones?

I've been wondering about this myself for a long time. Serge is about 'making a VCA' if you need one. The top channel of the Wave Multiplier can double as a snappy VCA. You can also 'make' a VCA with the GTO, the GTS and the ANC (crossfade with silence). All filters can be closed like a VCA, but with additional filtering obviously to make really nice sounds. It's a completely different way of thinking and patching. Since I am still learning, I often sneak in a makenoise low pass gate or a Mutable Veils.

@ Thanks! So much to learn 🤓 But luckily I also got a Mutable Veils clone from Big T Music.This will have to do for the beginning

@@DonaldSchuster Just found out the Serge Stereo mixer is the VCA we've been missing. Very expensive....

@@CinematicLaboratory well, as far as I can see is 480€ pretty reasonable in the Serge universe 🙂 Edit. Ooooh,I see...the Mixer is a DIY kit! Ouch! Edit2: on various websites it's a readymade module,on Serge's website it's a kit.Now I am really confused 🤔

@@DonaldSchuster Random*Source doesn't do DIY kits anymore. The 480 price is a built one. The description also mentions banana outputs so the website has a few errors. Just look at the module and listen to the Soundcloud examples which kind of explain why one needs to pay 480 for a balanced VCA mixer with panning. It's the waveshaping overdrive :)

It just never ends. Can't wait to experiment with my Serge gear, but not sure if I'd post it because it feels kind of niche. However, I share videos I make for myself, like a diary. I love tons of modules and brands, I absolutely love Buchla inspired gear, but Serge is #1 for me.

@CinematicLaboratory I've never owned either.. 😖

3U euro only has three V/OCT inputs where the 4U version has 11. I think Serge's intention was also to just feed them attenuated LFO's and woggle movement - and cross modulation.

@@CinematicLaboratory 4U is the only way to go!

@@Wysiwyggler I envy you without being jealous!

@@gladlawson61 Dual bruxa coming in a few days. Definitely going to use Medusa.

Thanks for the tip. Getting the RIGHT modules for the job will save you a lot of budget. Check out my Starterkit series for more information. I will keep an eye on this and make a Low Budget playlist before the end of the year :). A monster low budget module is Laniakea. Also check out my Behringer System 100 series video it doesn't come any cheaper than that.

​@@CinematicLaboratory thank you for the fast answer! oh, did I miss the "B-series 100" ? I'll have to check it out right away!

Please disregard that feedback. People come here for your unique content and module coverage. I come here for euroserge. There are already hundreds of other synthfluencers shilling budget modules that don’t inspire anything. Pls pls pls pls don’t be a divkid clone.

@@ritosuckerino6763 There are inspiring budget eurorack that could use some "press". Take a look at Ladik's modules for instance.

​@@ritosuckerino6763 Don't worry, I can't be anybody else than myself and I am not doing videos for a living so it never feels like work.

Yeah, I loved that shot. The case is now full of Mutable (as intended).

There are many ways to 'build your own Medusa' but patching a Spread would be a masterclass CV excercise. I guess one knob gets inverted and attenuated. Cool idea for a Dual Maths video with four Plaits and a mixer. Thanks for the inspiration :).

Thanks for sharing, Stu! I'll check it out.

@@andrewnancarrow thanks for reminding me too :)

I think you should fire up modular grid and move things around because it's hard to make combinations that fit in 2x104 HP. My top row would be 266, 259, 285 and 281. The second row would be 258, 257 on the left and 292 on the right. Which leaves a big gap in the middle. 'd use this gap as a variable. You could fill the gap with a 296 but then it's case-closed. You'd have to sequence with a BeatStep or Keystep. You could fill it with a 245, Pams, a Quantizer and MFX or FXAID. Or you can do something special like Intellijel Metropolix + Sealegs and it would really complete the case as a system with tons of production value. A full case of Buchla/TTA will always have something missing so I think this only works if you have another modular on the side...

Stazma's top case layout is also a cool starting point with Pams. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXakknuZf7F-abc

@@CinematicLaboratory Awesome, great ideas. Yea I have Modular grid setup to play around. Thanks for the suggestions. I do have an 0-ctrl too, and could throw in an OC for quantizer and other various CV duties. I have a Beads or Mimeophon I could stick in there. Possibly toss in a Clank Chaos, for random sequencing duties… or looking at that new Morphor sequencer which seems amazing in only 4hp. Pam’s for sure…

Oxi one and oxi pipe seem like a wise choice as well

One thing, you left out 245 and 292… just wondering why? Also wondering if 285 is necessary… Thoughts?

Thanks for your confidence. However, I am kind of an airhead with no discipline and I don't use color conventions. Most of the time I don't even secure my modules because a layout can often change between scenes, like getting the huge 296t spectral processor in. Asking money for a service feels like a job to me, and I am happily retired. If making videos feels like work, I'd quit :). Besides, the Monotrail Channel always takes the time to make fancy diagrams and makenoise nearly always documents every step in a patch. However, I may be able to make a patch diagram series on a small set of modules to teach some more of the basics. I could then make a template in Powerpoint and do some fancy diagrams. The Buchla modules would be a great startingpoint. I recently saw a novice user who did not understand how an envelope and VCA work together and why sequencer notes still play when they don't have gates patched. I am doing this for about five years now and I incorrectly assume everybody has seen my 600+ videos and know the basics by now. Thanks for your comment, I'll keep it in mind - but there's no way you need to pay for it.

I composed it myself so you will not be able to find it anywhere :).

@ it’s nice .. I don’t sample .. I play instruments :) you’re a huge help in my modular journey !!! 💪💪💪💪 my studio is 99% complete,ill send u a link then

@@andrewnancarrowI am afraid it will be 2025. But there will be an EP 02. Cs-L two years later...

Nice, looking forward to it. By the way, I think you corrected it in the comments, but the internal index routing to the wavefold CVs comes from the sine waves of A and B oscillators, not the PWM outputs… but that’s just getting nitpicky lol.

Maybe you said that… I probably didn’t quite understand. I still don’t fully understand everything 100% yet, but it’s fun playing around and figuring it out
