@@MNA-22 I'm glad you liked it! 🙂

@@jon_gee Thanks for stopping by and yeah its getting harder to get the full studio in one shot 😂 Happy new years!

@@JPblasc Thank you for the kind words! It surely feels like its home. Took me a while but it sounds pretty good with the rest of my stuff now.

Couldn't agree more! Owning this is a dream coming true. It is so easy to get to where you wanna be with pleasant surprises on the way.

Thanks for stopping by ❤

Yeah its defently one of the synths I'm gonna keep for the rest of my life :)

Thank you very much for stopping by ❤

ladies and gents, we have a real traveler over here 😉❤

You are nice ❤

Yeah It was actually you recognizing me trying to make something out of the video sessions that inspired me to push myself a little bit further. Thanks for that ❤

@@positivebacteriaculture It's good to know that! You really took it out of the park with this one. You're welcome!

❤

Thanks! Nice of you to come by 🙂

@@positivebacteriaculture Always stoked to see something from you come up in my feed. Played it right away.

@@jon_gee its comments like these that keep me going! ❤

Yeah, in retroaspect I kind of messed up the ending but didnt have time to record another round. But I guess mistakes makes it more human. And if you want pixel perfect, make noise is not for you. 😊

@@positivebacteriaculture I usually find the first round to be the better one. Yeah, it keeps it more human and conserves the songs original intention

Thanks man, I still feel like a beginner and that there is so much left to discover with this one, specially if you combine it with other synths and pedals.

@@positivebacteriaculture I feel the same about mine, which is perfect. Many more years of exploration!

Thanks for lovely comment, if i remember correctly the microfreak runs through strega in this piece and then the strega runs through Chase Bliss Mood MKII creating a stereo effect.

Yeah, feels good releasing stuff, i'm trying to produce once a month but its hard with work and kids :) The LED grid unit is Synthstrom Deluge, great sequenser and an all in all kind of unit.

@positivebacteriaculture heck yeah! That's great, broham! I'm on a soundscape/sound exploring kick right now, and they are a lot of fun to record and share haha I'm looking forward to seeing your next piece!

No!! Thank you for listening and leaving a lovely comment 🙂

Thanks man! I appreciate the visit ❤

Yeah, me too! 🤭 Thanks for stopping by ❤

Vielen Dank!! ❤

Thanks for listening! It was a while ago i made this. But I usually connect the deluge to sequense the Strega. Nowadays I also use 0-ctrl to sequense Strega aswell.

@@positivebacteriaculture what you prefer?..c coast sequenser or Deluges?

Yeah, you and me both man. Thanks for taking your time to listen 😊

@@positivebacteriaculture YW ✌️✨🤍💫

Thanks man! I need to work with the mn easel more. It always surprises me what comes out of it.

@positivebacteriaculture man I am in the same boat haha. I have it all hooked up and routed into my elektron kit, and instead of sampling patches, I'm programming a midihub like a mook lol

Thanks man! ❤

@@positivebacteriacultureYW👌✨🤍💫✌️

Haha nice! Thanks for the visit 🙂

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Yeah, I was going for something like that!

Thanks man, appreciate your visit! :)

@@positivebacteriaculture I just noticed how visually appealing and diverse your videos are. Very nice piece, I had to say it again!

@@JPblasc thanks for recognizing this, I like to experiment with visuals sometimes, and sometimes its hit and miss, but I think its more fun and engaging to watch a living set than a static camera, but it all comes down to context of the song.

Thanks man! Would love to see you do more Strega vs the stereo field device videos.

@positivebacteriaculture that was actually something I was exploring today! You can definitely modulate the stereofield and stregas with each other. I've turned the Soma RoAT into a 4 channel LFO using the audio ext in and CV follower gate on the stregas. I just need to sit down and explore the parts haha

@@Abyssolune That sounds interessting. Looking forward to hearing you explore that path 🙂

Thank you! I saw Alessandro Cortini play live a couple of weeks back. It was very inspiring and he remembers you to just take your time, find complexity in the simple things and play something you enjoy playing. Should be fundamental for everyone but its easy to forget. 🙂

@@positivebacteriaculture so awesome! He’s coming to New York in March and I won’t miss it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻take your time…I love that

@@jon_gee Then you are in for a treat! 🙂

Thanks I appreciate it! The microfreak is defently a capeable synth and is really versitale, you can pretty much create any synth sound you like with the right knowledge and its really a bang for the buck at the price range (and they keep on updating it). A synthesizer that can do a little bit of everything makes it very useful but also (to me) not very exciting. Its almost too good for its own good and also on the downside is that it do also need the backup from some pedals or effects in a DAW to not sound flat, but that goes for a lot of synthesizers. In this piece I have a distortion from the mixer and then routed through the Mood MKII and Strymon Nightsky.

This made my day, what a lovely comment! Thank you 🙂

yeah the hats was pretty high

@@positivebacteriaculture sky is the limit

Thank you ❤

Yeah! Its an ongoing project and the learning never ends. But i'm pretty happy with my setup, it got both the reliability but with the happy little accidents always around the corner. 😊

Thank you very much! Dual Strega sounds like a dream 🙂

The Deluge is a very good with a semi modular setup (i now have matriarch, 0-coast, 0-ctrl and Strega) because of the CV, gate and midi out. Its great for creating sequenses and songs. And if you have an idea in your head its a good device to just plot it out on the grid. The synth engine is flexible but sounds kind of mjeh in my opinion. I havn't used it much for sampling tbh. On the old deluge the screen is really small and simple wich makes it very complicated to organize samples. But if you buy a new deluge this will be solved. The Deluge is easy to just get going doing easy songs and setups, but it does need some menu diving if you wanna reach its full potential, but there are a lot of video tutorials out there. I think the octatrack look as the better sampler/mangler though but the Deluge is a better sequenser (but i dont know). I don't always use the deluge for jaming but it can do pretty much everything in a setup, so its great to fill in were it is needed :)

@@positivebacteriaculture That's the answer I needed! I appreciate your response! I think I'm leaning more in the direction of getting one now. It seems much more immediate than the Octatrack and I don't think I'd be doing TOO crazy of mangling, especially since I can do a lot of mangling on the matriarch itself! Btw.... it sounds like you have an absolutely SICK setup, haha, props!

@@Tyler-Nagle-Productions yeah i'm pretty happy with my setup as it is and that is a good feeling :) I was also in the make and break between the octatrack and deluge, went for the deluge because it seemed easier to grasp. It did not disappoint but I found out I'm not a groove box kind of guy and i like hardware that is easy to grasp and dont have a deep menu. What you see is what you get is my kind of thing. But yeah as I said, I'm happy having the deluge because it always helps to have gates, midi and cv. But I'm using it more and more now than I did the first 2 years with it. I recomend watching this before buying though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJCYqmaunLp8js0

@@positivebacteriaculture Haha, I can imagine! I have a Roland TR-6S as my drum machine, as well. So, if I get the Deluge, while also having the Matriarch & Ableton.... I'll be set. Hopefully. Yeah, I'm right there with you. I don't really want to be diving menus all day. I've been doing my research for the past 4 months now, and I think I've finally made up my mind. So, I really appreciate your feedback, it's one of the best ways to do research imo. The CV and gate control seems like a friggin' amazing pair with the semi-modular stuff and the way the deluge presents that seems to be an easy to grasp concept. I'll definitely check out that vid, thanks for the recommendation & again for the reply. EDIT: Funny enough, I've seen that video! Definitely helped in my decision and the slight comedy spin the dude had was great.

@@Tyler-Nagle-Productions Nice to be able to help! When or if you decide to go with the Deluge I recommend going through this series with the Deluge in your knee. Its defently worth it and will make the deluge more fun to use in the long run. kzbin.info/aero/PLrIHpKJ98bAit7QCezdDLIGzmLJ1eYDRr

Thank you! Yeah its great complement to the make noise easel with the ability to create stereo soundscapes and "chord progression" with the effects. Just wished it came as a aemi modular unit. But knobs works aswell😊

Thank you! The Mood is the purple little pedal you see down in the right corner in the end of the video. Its a micro looper/mangler with stereo effect (its the iery sound you hear paning back and forth from the beginning of the video and out during the whole song). It also comes with delay and reverb effects that is pretty good. Changing time signature on the pedal also change the pich of the whole loop and reverb wich in this song makes it progress an extra step than I would normally be able to with this setup. I would say it reminds me of Strega, everything you put in it get a particular sound coming out. But the mood is like the nice guy making everything sweet. Strega makes everything salt. It sounds great but with that said, Its an instant gratification tool. It does a lot of "eurorack things" but its in a box and you just twist some nobs and it is fun and sounds good but doesnt require much of a skill to use (i'm probably dunning krugering muself here) wich might be usefull but boring in the long run. Its great if you dont have the time and money for a full eurorack setup 🙂

Hey@@positivebacteriaculture thanks for the super detailed explanation. I think non-eurorack instrument have the advantage of being ready for use anytime (as opposed to the effort you have to put into eurorack just to get a synth voice going). I guess the sweet spot is a combination of both worlds (which I suspect the Matriarch and your Make Noise synths achieve).
