259 | Episode 03 | Modulation

Your videos really are killer. Production value too. Must take you ages to do. Respect!

Love the serie ! Thanks about that. Really love the fact you end with Blades because it's very modern 259 to me.

I really love that you watched it all the way to the end :)

@@CinematicLaboratory I watched every episode. I don't know if you're already plnning a new serie, I her a lot of fm in your music. I rezlly recommand you to try the humble quad operator.. I know it's not black but it matches MI and intellijel pretty well. To me that module is really a link between complex oscillator ( it can be 1 .. or 2) substractive synthesis ( it can run 4 oscillators in unison, but you need a filter ) and digital fm ( it's a quad operator after all) . My desert island oscillator for sure. ( Even before the Csl)

Thank you! It was very interesting!

Always inspirational, and always oddly meditative. Now I have to turn on my DPO ! Wondering what you were using for delay and reverb ? Also, thanks for all the effort that goes into these I really enjoy them.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

I used Clouds in delay mode (mode 2). And thanks!

Très inspirant… thanks a lot. Just a question, what kind of cameras are you using to film your videos ? Is it the same that you use for the beautiful wood/dusts / landscapes close up ? 😶‍🌫️

[@CinematicLaboratory]

I am using the Canon EOS R6 mirrorless camera. I have an expensive L lens, but I am shooting everything with the affordable 35mm that can also do macro. The quality is absolutely amazing. There's some information in my 'End of an Era' video. Still use my phone for POV's that I can't reach with the big EOS. I film in 4K and edit back to HD so I can zoom and crop. It also allows filming in manual mode so you don't have autofocus and keep your point of interest sharp while patching or moving your hands in front of it. here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqW2Zn5uqphja8k

@@CinematicLaboratory thanks you very much to take your time to reply I will have a look at it

[@SamElektron]

Great stuff, as usual! Do you think new DPOs sound different due to other type of vactrols? How about the vactrols Tiptop make for the new 292? Couldn't they sell or license them for other vactrol gear?

[@CinematicLaboratory]

I have no idea if DPO's are shipped with different vactrols. I also heard the old ones contained cadmium which is illegal in the EU, but honestly I don't know. As for the 292 I haven't seen them shipping yet. I saw these 'vintage' vactrols on Reverb for $300 so I have no idea where this goes. Lots of 'no ideas'...

[@CinematicLaboratory]

I have no idea if new DPO's are shipped at all.

[@SamElektron]

@@CinematicLaboratory Thanks dude! I'm still hoping one day they make a new batch of QMMGs, that was my train of thought behind it. Since they clearly still produce modules with vactrols in them, just for some reason no more qmmgs...

[@SamElektron]

@@CinematicLaboratory Yes new DPOs are manufactured and produced. Local synth shop here in Switzerland just got a new batch (House of Sound)... thinking about getting one...

[@CinematicLaboratory]

@@SamElektron Well, it's still not discontinued so there's hope.
