If you are having issues getting your Bloom working, I recommend chatting with other users on our Discord! discord.gg/3kx59SEfDa We are also on there, and will be able to walk through using the module with you!

It's been a long time coming, but we will be releasing Tutorial 2 with the upcoming Nautilus firmware update. That way we can cover the complete list of available features on Nautilus between the two videos. The firmware update is currently in beta on our Discord, and we expect to release an official version soon!

The Root knob is a diatonic transposition of Bloom's sequence. It will stay in the key of your oscillator's frequency and Bloom scale. That being said your notes shouldn't be 20-30 cents off. If you are having trouble with tuning on your Bloom, our support team would be happy to troubleshoot it with you! You can reach out via the contact form on our site.

Good catch! We will fix that typo. Attenuverter 2 Target for both firmwares affects the right attenuverter.

Those pads are samples played off Nebulae and were curated by @JohnoWells!

@@QuBitElectronix thank you

It will reset the default state for whichever firmware you are on! You can find all the setting states in the manual static1.squarespace.com/static/56feccc7a3360c08ffa34ed4/t/66269138ce104e65067cae35/1713803578907/Data_Bender_manual_2024.pdf#page=17

The perceivable max delay time is ~20 seconds per channel, so you should be able to achieve that with a slow clock rate and Resolution!

@@QuBitElectronix awesome thanks! I've been wanting this beautiful module since it came out and every time I think of something I want to do I find out Nautilus can do it! Seems like it is a bout time I finally pull the trigger on it.

demystifying Eurorack is the name of the game. I'm glad our videos are helping!

Yeah, using the Lock feature as a "record" is more of a neat trick, but using the Gate Input would relieve keeping the click! Maybe we can add a setting in Narwhal that moves the Zone position to remove the first bit of audio!

enjoy!

Yes! It's first on the list for a Narwhal update.

@@QuBitElectronix excellent! thanks for the reply. i'm looking forward to the update then.

The wording here is a bit tricky, but correct. In order for Bloom to know what clock rate it needs to multiply, it requires two pulses from the external clock. Bloom reads the time between the two pulses, calculates the clock rate from that, then multiplies the clock rate to advance the sequence. Let us know if that makes sense!

That makes sense. I do like how Bloom advances 1:1 (and divides) per pulse as it means you can send in some really wonky clocks and it happily keeps track. Nice!@@QuBitElectronix

Nebulae v2's Pulse Output sends a gate signal at the start of each loop, which we use to clock Data Bender! I believe in this patch we use Bloom as a clock multiplier to get the pulse rate up before clocking Data Bender.

sigh….. time to get out the old credit card again….

On MacOS, you should just need to double-click the .zip file downloaded from our site, and the .bin file will auto-extract. Once that is complete, load the .bin file into the web programmer!

@@QuBitElectronixOk, thx! That's what I thought in the end. I was trying to extract the .bin as it seemed to be compressed.

Narwhal definitely makes dealing with configuration files a lot more palatable! Enjoy your Nautilus!

@lectronix I will! Since you're on the line, I have a question re: Nebulae V2. I already have MI Beads, MN Morphagene, and 1010 Bitbox Mk2. Beads and Morphagene are totally different animals, and Bitbox although it can work at a granular level, really isn't designed for that. Nebulae looks good because it has a much longer record time, and if I use that up, I can just transfer it into the Bitbox card which is huge. So, I'm asking myself, is there a reason to buy the Nebulae V2, and my first answer is, given all the alternate firmwares, hell yeah. However, there are very few videos showing the V2 in action in its native firmware, and I have yet to look for videos of the alternate firmwares. Are there any resources you can point me to? Or is it just functionally the same as V1, but with improved processing/buffer size or such, in which case the V1 videos would suffice? Oh, and if I did choose it, are there alternate panels available for those firmwares?

Currently no, the buffer will continually overwrite itself as a means of erasing and re-recording. This is a great suggestion though, and we will make sure to add it in a future update!

The Aurora settings work a bit differently from Mojave and Nautilus, but we will look into adding it to Narwhal!

You're welcome! We are glad that its helpful :)

Thanks Jeremy!

Branches and Paths will introduce both CV and Gate On/Off variations, but are separate from the main trunk sequence. Mutation will only affect the CV, but it's destructive to the main trunk sequence. It's not permanently destructive however; you can revert back to your original sequence by holding SHIFT and pressing the RESET button. Hope this helps!

The Speed knob specifically affects the pitch of the grains. And yes, you can have an unquantized pitch range using Twilight Mode!

You can place the .wav file in the root directory of the SD card! Just make sure that only one .wav file is present on the SD card.

This is a simple Eurorack frame designed to fit in a 19" rack. You can find them online for fairly cheap!

Nothing is more fun than taking any and all sounds and running them through overlapping polyphonic grains :)

Nothing more boring than a rack of modules that are all the same brand. Teaches less, and I switched to a different video 🤷‍♀️

QuBit is my favorite Brand.
