5 Ambient Patchlets with the Basimilus Iteritas Alter

Want to learn Modular Synthesis? have a look here - bit.ly/learnmodular
I also created a document full of patching techniques and ideas that I will continue updating - / document-full-37811574
Here are some patch notes:
------------------------------------------------
Patch 1 - 00:00
--------
- I'm triggering the Basimilus with the pulse output of the 1U Noise Tools module, and I'm increasing the rate until I get a constant tone.
- I'm sending THIS to Microcell in Granular mode with lots of reverb.
- In VCV Rack I have the Black Octasource from Erica Synths modulating the harmonics, decay time, and morph of the Basimilus.
Patch 2 - 02:07
--------
- I'm sequencing the Basimilus from VCV Rack with a random sequence.
- I'm multing the Basimilus once into the Mimeophon, and once into Microcell in the Oliverb mode.
- The Rate of the Mimeophon is being modulated twice, once with S&H, and once through the micro input with an LFO.
- I've also recorded the Basimilus into the Morphagene a bit, and I'm playing the sample an octave lower and in revers.
Patch 3 - 03:12
--------
- I'm sequencing the Basimilus with Marbles in VCV Rack.
- It's then going into Magneto in shift mode so it creates those additional notes.
- It then goes into the Microcell for some extra reverb, and from there to Freak with a distortion model.
- I'm also modulating the morph control of the Basimilus with S&H, as well as the reverse function on Magneto.
Patch 4 - 05:04
--------
- I'm sending an arpeggio from VCV Rack to sequence the Basimilus, and it's going through LedRover.
- The signal is being multed into 3 different destinations: Once into the Microcell for some reverb, once into Freak with a HP filter and from there to the Mimeophpon, and once into Arbhar, which continuously records the signal and processes it.
Patch 5 - 07:11
-------
- I'm using a burst generator in VCV Rack to sequence the Basimilus.
- I recorded it onto Arbhar, and I have its built-in reverb on wet to it creates this nice pad.
- I also recorded a short sequence onto Magneto, and I'm playing it one octave lower. I'm also triggering its revers function randomly from VCV Rack.
- I'm also modulating the harmonic, fold, and morph functions of the Basimilus with an LFO in VCV Rack, built after Ochd from DivKid and Instruo.
- The Basimilus is then going through the Mimeophon for delay and Microcell for extra reverb.

These are some beautiful patches!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hey, thanks so much! I really enjoy the sounds I'm getting with the Basimilus, it's a very inspiring module.

[@NickKruegerMusic]

Patch 3 was heart-wrenching.

[@giovannigramegna8566]

Patch 3: mother of god!

[@kaerkiu9815]

I am thinking about selling my BIA but videos like these make it more difficult. Exactly the inspiration I was looking for which is almost impossible to find on youtube

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I love my BIA and I use it all the time... I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the sounds :)

[@bertrandvanasch]

great use of BIA, quite not in the common vein ! i particularly love the drone in the first patch, inspiring ! Cheers 👊

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@williamthazard]

lovely patches! Thanks for exploring some new (to me, at least) territory with the BIA

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@stevekirkby6570]

Very nice... and shows how flexible the BIA can be. Nice creative flow and patching :)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@dreamdealer]

this is absolutely golden Omri, thank you for this, amazing BIA skills man.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@ledgendairy3056]

Excellent, I love the notes also. So helpful!!! Great patches

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

[@Dogboy73]

Very cool. I’ve just bought a BIA. Had it in mind for drums, percussions and lots of crazy, glitchy noise type madness. But this is a whole other interesting dimension to take it in. Amazing little module. Glad I’ve finally pulled the trigger on this one.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, it's one of my favorite modules, right after Morphagene.

[@francescocottone3171]

Beautiful and creative, you absolutely sold me on the BIA

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you! I love my BIA...

[@adamjlipper]

Really liked this. Very inspirational 👏

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you!

[@osten6159]

Thanks for this, I was waiting for more ambient BIA vids. Considering swapping my Plonk out for a BIA now, as it looks like more of a versatile module after watching this

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Plonk seems also really interesting. I think NE have a video with both on their channel, they work nicely together.

[@LowPassMountain]

Excellent patchlets. The BIA is a fun module. Cheers.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, it's definitely a favorite!

[@DopeSkills]

sweeet patches and niceeeesetup !

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@mmmodular1878]

Great patches as always Omri. I love using my BIA for ambient :)

[@Gruftgrabbler]

I didn’t even know if that’s possible. Great patches and great ideas :) I honestly though you can only use the BIA as a kind of drum voice, good that I was wrong

[@mmmodular1878]

@@Gruftgrabbler Thats also the reason why I bought the BIA; its a very well thought out module that can do ambient, basslines, percussion, etc when tuned right :)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Great sounds Omri

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@marsooh302]

Beautiful man

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@bastismusikbutze7450]

So lovely!!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you! 😊

[@0wlieboi647]

The third patch is just breathtaking

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks :)

[@makato01]

Well Done Omri

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@coltranius]

Very beautiful.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

this is one of the stranger modular racks I have seen. Definitely great for ambient sounds. I don't have many atmospheric modules. Mostly drums and basses lol. This vid inspires me to get some reverbs and delay or granular stuff.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Oh nice! The world of sound is endless and there's so much to explore...

[@eratodisques]

nice to see the BIA in another sound territories... !

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I love this module...

[@djformalin]

Nice job....again 🎼

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@h.r.terror9421]

Soo good! Now I really need a BIA.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks! Yeah, it's a nice module indeed :)

[@saren6538]

Wow what a module ... that’s going onto the wants list

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Oh yes, it's so versatile and it sounds great!

[@Jimantronic]

I really need to explore BIA some more. Thanks Omri for the inspiration 🙂

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@TeaspoonUlysses]

Patch 4 is orgasmic

[@danikoenig]

great!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@TheStellarMaster]

Sweet use of BIA, still haven't clock mine in audio rate(it will be the first thing to do next time ). Big ups Omri!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@TheStellarMaster]

@@OmriCohen-Music I ve been watching you since day 1 Omri, thanks for sharing knowledge its beautiful how kind eurorack (& VCV Rack) community is!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Oh wow, thanks :)

[@purfakt]

I really loved all of them. Probably the 3rd and 4th patches are my favorite! One of my favorite thing to do with eurorack is experiment with feedback loops. It seems your rack would allow for a lot of possibilities there. Did you have in mind to explore this and/or to post videos about that kind of craziness too?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Well, I have to be honest, I didn't try it still with hardware, but in VCV I tried it more often... I will try this though, thanks!

[@purfakt]

@@OmriCohen-Music Yesssss! Can't wait to hear that! I'm sure it's unnecessary to say, but keep your gains in check to avoid damaging you ears and speakers.

[@JAM-rp6fi]

Patch 4 and 5 are really representative of the kind of music I'm hoping to get out of Eurorack. I just bought my first case a couple days ago, and BIA is one of the first modules I want to put in it. Wish me luck!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I still have the BIA, and I still use it all the time. It has such a unique sound. Good luck!

[@massimopetrozzi1451]

Who says that NE is only for techno? :) Very beautiful patches...

[@danieldixon2174]

yeah, especially if you process it with microcell, magneto, mimeophon, arbhar, morphagene... FFS, even my burps would sound like angel choirs!

[@Gruftgrabbler]

Daniel Dixon haha 😂

[@gmreynoldsjr]

Hey Omri, I've got a new BIA but was wondering if you knew of something in VCV that is in the same neighborhood as it so I can do some rack planning. Mainly just the percussion with modulation thing.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hi! Well, there's the Percussive Vibration form Life Form Modular. It's not a BIA, but it's a percussive voice with enough modulation possibilities. You can get it here - library.vcvrack.com/plugins?query=lifeform&license=&sort=buildTimestamp

[@gmreynoldsjr]

@@OmriCohen-Music Thank you!

[@DBPawlan]

What is that distortion module next to the BIA?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

That's the LedRover overdrive from VoicAS

[@jasper374]

Do you prefer the Magneto over the Mimeophon?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

No, not at all. They're quite different from one another so I cannot really compare the two... I love them both!

[@mpingo91]

Omri, do you still have Basilimus Iteritas Alter? At some point you were replacing the modules in your rack. I don't remember when... I have the opportunity to buy probably the last new BIA on the continent. :P Is it worth it?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hi, yeah, I still have it. The only reason I wanted to replace it, is because I used it way too much. I love that module. It's a bit tricky to tune, but when it's tuned, it's a beautiful voice.

[@mpingo91]

@@OmriCohen-Music _"because I used it way too much"_ * Ha! 😃

[@johannasbjoernson918]

haha. your case is the first I see that comes with no modulation, clock, sequencing sources, has only a single synth voice and no vcas, envelopes or mixer. several tape-machines&effects, granular processors and an assortment of filters and a BIA instead. some nice patches in there. triggering the BIA at audio rate yields some strange results. running a complex VCO (like synthesis technology or ericas wavetable vco.. w. fm-mod, morphing through wavetables.. ) through the BIA.. makes for some raw industrial voice.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Well, I'm using VCV so I have many modulation, clocks, etc. coming from there. And thanks for the tips!

[@stevekirkby6570]

yea - patch 3 is ace

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!
