Hi, i'm late to the party, but as i watched your great video i'm just wondering where does the kick comes from ? it's not the BIA right ? thank you
@markbooth Жыл бұрын
Hi and glad you're enjoying the channel. Just taken a look and at 10:54 the kick and hats are added from Squid Salmple. Channel 3 (kick) & 4 (hats) on the Quad VCA have the long black cables coming in from it. The 4 yellow outputs are then going out to Expert Sleepers ES-9 and mixed in Ableton with a little side chain compression and a default Ozone mastering mix to bring the levels up for KZbin. Hope this helps and there are plenty more similar videos more recently if interested.

Another great vid Mark. Really sound advice here. I wish you had made this vid a year ago before I went bezerk and spent a fortune on Eurorack. As you say it’s too easy to fall for the spell and buy lots of voices, which when you’ve run out of money you can’t use. With this set up you have the core modules that are very playable, but will remain useful as the system expands. The main take is know what you want to achieve with your rack. I thought I knew, I reckon I’ve sold 90% of my original set up as they didn’t do what I wanted. For chuggy house/techno the set ups that you suggest are perfect :)

Sadly three of those modules are unobtanium. I am loving your use of the mimetic. Ànother module that would work great here would be some version of piques. Don't get me wrong I love the kick all but the kick and snare you can get from a peaks clone would be great.
@markbooth Жыл бұрын
Sadly WMD modules are no more but I’m not doing anything special with them here so any ADSR, filter and compressor would do. If I were building a setup to mimic this I’d get a Knobula Kickain which handles kick and ducking in one and a Steve’s MS-22 filter if possible too. I’ve not tried a piques but heard good things about them
@turbotambourine Жыл бұрын
This is a really nice approach of a small palette case. At some point I do want to get one so I can cram some stuff into it as well. It definitely makes you focus on a main idea like making an ad. Maybe there’s some supporting copy or something. Me personally, I’d probably build it around a bard quartet, a pizza, steppy and a switchblade. Have you considered one of those small mosaic clock modules? Think I might get one for clocking in my case. A couple choices of course: random, clock, and I think tap.
