7 Patches with the Behringer Neutron [4K]

A tutorial video demonstrating some patching examples using the Behringer Neutron Semi-Modular synthesizer.
01 Kick Drum
02 Pulse Width Modulation
03 Vibrato
04 Shape Modulation
05 Hi-hat Tone
06 Clean Waveform
07 Sample & Hold Pattern

[@adamrisch]

Nice vid! FYI, you could create your pulse width modulation patch without doing any patching at all, as the LFO is normalized to go through Attenuator 2 to both Pulse Width 1 & 2 by default.

[@rishabhrajan]

Nice! Didn't know that.

[@livelooper]

also Gate 2 is Normalled from Gate 1 (wouldn't need to use mult). ..and a v. nice vid :-)

[@wombra8314]

Rishabh Rajan manual 🎛🐛

[@PaulBoos]

Nice vid...

[@ericMT]

That’s what I love about the Neutron. It’s a good entry into the modular world. Even though some paths are normalized, it’s interesting that you can get the same results from patching. For educational purposes.

[@daveknapik]

This was incredibly clear and you chose 7 examples that are not only useful, but manage to teach the foundations of the patch bay. I would love a sequel! Thanks!!

[@chunkystylemusic]

Great demonstration. I've been thinking about getting a Neutron, but now I'm convinced, thanks to you. And the added animation is a nice touch. Well Done!

[@RANDOMLOOPGENERATOR]

Cool sounds there Rishabh, I was torn between the Model D and this and although I'll most likely end up with both I will definitely be getting the Neutron first. Thanks for taking the time to put together such a cool video.

[@ynnn991]

This video is extremely helpful and inspiring. I'm really looking forward to seeing more videos about patching the neutron in the future. Greetings from Germany.

[@moldovans]

I've only got till the end of your 2nd patch and already laid down an hour and a half long minimal-tech session, ohh gosh I love this synth!!! Thanks for this video, definitely opened up new dimensions for me!

[@BigKaTrob]

Almost skipped over the kick drum sound until I heard you quickly put it together. That's actually an amazing kick. Thanks for sharing.

[@216by773]

Great presentation style and content. Appreciate that you went past, "Here's what OSC2 sounds like," explained a bit of theory behind how the mods and patch recipes work. And I love the comments with other ways in, they show how flexible the synth is for achieving sounds in different ways. More Neutron please!

[@BrianFunkMusic]

Hey man, This video is incredibly helpful. I'm just beginning in the modular journey with the Neutron. You really helped me connect the dots! Thanks!

[@stefanhansen5882]

Thank you so much for this! I just got my Neutron this week. This helped a lot getting to know it, being new to modular synths.

[@Zengetsi]

I just got a neutron and this video was the best I've seen yet with teaching the basics of not only this synthesizer, but also how patching and the general circuitry works!!

[@vaiman7777]

Dude, just bought this and this video is gold dust. Please do more! Classic sounds and new style patches would be great... I'd even buy these!

[@TheMerrisi]

Some people can teach and some can't. You gave me a masterclass so that I can take my first steps into the modular world. Many thanks.

[@blave549]

Your videos are consistently excellent. Thanks.

[@reaktiv1408]

Thank you so much for this video, it gives me some great ideas for exploring this amazing little box!

[@coltranius]

Wonderful video! Got my neutron yesterday and can’t wait to rewatch your video with it in front of me.

[@GaryWalker]

Great video! I'm shopping around and thinking seriously of buying the Neutron and this video was a great intro into what the patch bay can accomplish. Very good presentation and no nonsense. Commendable work, sir.

[@GaryWalker]

Update. I bought that neutron after I wrote that and it is a filthy casual's dream.

[@josephwright5921]

It is pretty cool that you got the oscilloscope visuals appearing between the two cables!

[@adamoliver82]

This is a really great video. Good ideas explained clearly. Just what I need as a newcomer to semi-modular.

[@cliffordjaysnider7200]

Thanks for making this helpful video! Great teaching and great sounds. I’m excited for try these patches.

[@valdiskrebs566]

Greats sounds/modulations @ 8:00! Interesting sounds from sample and hold - very instructive video.

[@gneissguy4342]

Great vid! Wonderful instruction and it looks and sounds professional. Nicely done! Thanks for posting.

[@VictorSteiner]

Went for the Model D but this sounds really good and the given options like delay and the clean patch bay look great!

[@sebastienlelong2661]

best tutorial out there on patching the neutron, thanks !

[@SourceRE]

How great is this module?!? I just got mine today and I'm BLOWN AWAY. This feels like a $600 or $800 boutique synth. SOLID. And super friendly with my other modular gear. They really did a great job of creating a really great voice with a normalled path, but a TON of patch points that I don't consider it semi-modular. I think of it more like a super complex voice module. FOR $300. It's insane Thank you Rishabh! You did an excellent job, I'm sending every new modular convert to your video after telling them to start with a Neutron. Out of the park, Behringer.

[@strangersun7721]

Yep. That's why I bought a second one when they dipped to $220 new. That's insane.

[@iShrekedJoeMama]

FACTS!

[@MSNGR415]

I picked up a used one for $150 but the normalized patch doesn’t work because of faulty hardware... and behringer doesn’t cover their products unless you have a receipt even when it’s a known hardware issue....however. The stock normalized patch is still capable through patching and I’ve grabbed a couple stackable cables to rectify making the used ports free. Even in its quirky state I love it.

[@SourceRE]

Hey! Try putting the cuttoff around 12 o’clock and feed the LFO to the filter cutoff at audio rate. Somewhere around 2 o’clock on the LFO rate knob works. Now, raise the res until it self-oscillates. This sets up a vocal formant sound that is very belchy and human sounding. Like the bass line in that “Ride My Pony” song. LOL Adjust cuttoff, res, LFO speed and shape, and the modulation amount in tiny bits to find the vocal sweet spots.

[@HansBaier]

Best neutron video so far. Please do more!

[@jvk86]

A better way to achieve "Clean Waveform" is to patch VCF1 (out) -> VCA IN, which will bypass the overdrive circuit for BOTH oscillators without using up an attenuator.

[@telumatramenti7250]

Finally. A video where you can actually SEE the labels under each patch point. Kudos, bro. )) It's 2022 and people are still filming their music experiments with a potatocam.

[@erazeTHEborders]

Thank you so much. Just what I needed!

[@davesandison2588]

Great stuff. This video has been a mahoosive help. Thanks

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Had my Neutron for a few days, and although there are patch ideas out there, nobody seems to explain WHY. You do. Coming late to semi-modular, I would like to know the theory, and this is probably as much theory as I’ve seen in a yt vid. Thank you!

[@patientzero4889]

Nice work! I'm definitely going to buy this synthesiser.

[@joshuaguerrero1855]

Hey, I really appreciate this video you did on the Neutron. I'd definitely like to see a few more like this if you've got the time for it. I'll definitely check out the videos you have using the Mother 32. Thanks!

[@DMC-mp9sx]

The patch bay really adds value to this already cool synth. I’ve decided to go with this as the patch bay won me over and there’s so much flexibility that I don’t see being matched at the price.

[@92beebo]

I successfully could replicate these and they sound awesome. Thanks a lot for the good tips! :D

[@Boddhisattva007]

great video, thank you! I think I might be buying the synth

[@wimwijn1]

Thanks a lot, great tutorial, very clear and educatief, hope you wil do some more

[@WokeUpScreaming]

Great video!!! Currently saving up for a Neutron now and getting clean waveforms through bypassing the overdrive section was something I was really hoping was possible so I'm glad it is!! :D Why they didn't just put a blend knob on the overdrive section is beyond me though.

[@theretrodept]

Thanks, that's helpful..! Just got this and trying to get my head around the patch bay and everything.

[@lofidarkambient]

Great Tutorial. Thanks for sharing!

[@TROGULAR10000]

that oscillator section is the perfect design. I thought of trading in my minibrute 2S for a second, which is amazing but not without flaws.

[@KnochenMarkSaege]

Very good and informative video! Thank you very much, great work :)

[@THEREALDATALORD]

Crazy good video. Thanks for the detail.

[@dumbpublichater9365]

Hohoo , very nice. I am getting one soon. I love these patches. The kick is killer./!!!

[@cqbs]

Awesome as always ! Thank you !

[@eliasskawronskistudio5358]

Very useful! Great tutorial! Thank You!

[@Giaci8914]

Man.. that kick drum Is awesome

[@rmanpojo8485]

great video! top quality video and very helpful for other users..Thumbs up.

[@Psychlist1972]

Great tutorial and great synth.

[@ElliotAtkins]

Fantastic video. Many thanks!

[@StereoConspiracyDnB]

Thanks for this. Really useful!

[@HansBaier]

The kick sounds lovely, su lush and round.... Can't wait for my neutron.

[@digitaldiezel5870]

NEEDED THIS!! Thanks!

[@Beholderz]

Thanks for the demo.

[@kimwjustice]

Just brilliant. Thanks much!

[@amphitheatre]

last part was dope, great sounds

[@iqi616]

Excellent video.

[@igorveprev9178]

Thanks! some examples are very helpful!

[@Subtronik]

Just bought a second neutron for stereo width. I know there’s much more to this synth but I have yet to scratch the surface. Thanks for the video!

[@N.A._McBee]

Thanks a lot for this insight! Very interesting, although I don't even possess the Neutron (yet).

[@sdachannel4715]

Great tutorial!

[@BeatCommission]

Just got my Neut yesterday, and was lost... the manual changing language from page to page really deterred me from reading it... This is perfect! Thank you so much!

[@Malef1x]

You can download the manual in your preferred language from the Behringer website

[@BeatCommission]

@@Malef1x that 100% never even occurred to me. I wonder how many other simple solutions I've missed by being dense lol

[@Oscilatii]

Thanks for your video! Some good information here :D

[@larryradice5851]

Super helpful! Thanks!

[@Emontop1]

Thank you for the tutorial👍👍👍👍👍😀🎛🎹

[@ThePeibol99]

Great vídeo !!!

[@DJDigitalJosh]

Great Stuff, Subscribed!

[@hehimes]

Great tutorial as always. Would love to see a tutorial on the Behringer Model D in the future.

[@thierryangers9997]

He did one on the Moog Model D, I watched it and it applies to the Behringer Model D

[@johnpaullovetek1809]

A true Masterclass!

[@subwolf3719]

This was really helpful, thanks! Can you do some more videos on the Neutron please? 🙏

[@housemachine509]

Great video

[@tomphillpotts]

Thanks for the tips

[@sexynerd1312]

Great Video! Thx alot :)

[@ademozarslan]

Amazing!

[@wianbrilson]

Very, very useful! 👍🏼

[@valley_robot]

Thanks for this I got a lot from it

[@coldwar1977]

great vid, thanx!

[@kepasweet]

Wow thank you!!

[@AgentsofRush]

Very helpful thank you.

[@kostantinosmag2986]

Nice video

[@recbuttonprodcutions]

Nice video! Btw. you can completely turn off oscillators by switching octave range to +/-10 (all 3 LED's on) and turning oscillator tune knob fully clockwise.

[@pablocruz477]

You’re good man

[@douglasfink131]

Thank you!

[@robert_h.2404]

Thx, Well Done!

[@federicogoez]

Increíble!!!

[@lordundhimself1310]

Damn that's a good kick.

[@Pellelunden00]

Worldclass tutorial

[@OldPsytrance]

thanks man

[@charliedronkers]

sick

[@housemachine509]

Going to try these we need more good patches some videos don’t do justice

[@Oakich]

thanks!

[@mod3l]

Just a quick note: by default the pulse width modulation is already normalized to uni-polar attenuator 2.

[@purba999]

the best!

[@chrisliddiard725]

Very interesting. Thanks for the vid. It would be interesting to see what this board does to 'remix' an incoming sound track. Also can midi cc be used in any way?

[@dumbpublichater9365]

Sick kick!! I am deleting all my percusive samples!

[@jdubbs9655]

I am new to all of this but very interested. Great video! This reminds me of an electronic science kit I had as a kid by Radio Shack. How many patch cables do you recommend getting for a Neutron and what other module works best with this one?

[@harrytuttle5810]

One tip for those lookin for some kicks, make the patch like this with variations then use the delay on that (longest time,short repeat for ease) ,sample and enjoy dirty lo fi kickers.

[@frankm.2533]

Very helpful patches so far, could you please describe a patch for formant/vowel like sounds on the neutron, please ? I am really interested in this.

[@jeremyjquinn]

Great video - just got a Neutron so will try these out. What do you use for an oscilloscope?

[@NathanSchwermann]

I've watched this many times and always pick up something new. Thanks! Also how are you showing the wave form in the video. What equipment and software?

[@moldovans]

I would be really interested in this one too!
