A Loveletter to the Intellijel Atlantis

[@TuesBoy127]

Great video Lucas...Atlantis is one of my favorite synth ever !

[@LucasMarchal]

Thank you ! It's a fantastic module.

[@bassywax]

classy as always

[@LucasMarchal]

Thank you :)

[@isaaclevy7469]

Great! Thanks för sharing! Big fan!

[@LucasMarchal]

thanks for watching !

[@ליאורברדה-כ7נ]

Hey, thanks for the video❤What's the name of the sequencer?

[@LucasMarchal]

It’s the doepfer dak time

[@ernestoA2]

would love to see the same video for the Cwejman SM-1 ;)

[@LucasMarchal]

It's on the list for sure

[@DeepPAUSE]

He is back ! love it please also do something with this beauty SM-1, Cwejman deserve your AV production quality level :)

[@LucasMarchal]

It's gonna be a big one but yes it's on the "soon" list for sure.

[@stackenblochen666]

Awesome video on the Atlantis, thanks! I have been loving my bass station 2 a lot for any 101 flavors, but having a modular alternative is very tempting. On another note, how do you make your dfam produce this tasty sub bass, it blends so nicely in with the 909? I assume there is some heavy eq‘ing in ableton involved (and of course the overstayer)?

[@LucasMarchal]

I've heard plenty of people praise the bass station but never tried one myself. But yeah having a "101" in euro is just so irresistible. As for the DFAM you'd be surprised how often it just sits there with exactly zero processing and sounds great. I have a little segment on making bass lines with the DFAM in my OB6 video.

[@mathieumorel448]

Hey! Merci pour la revue, comment ça se comporte dans le sub? Je pense aux bonnes grosses basses dub, sans doute pas aussi rond et puissant que du scwejman j'imagine, mais ça ferait ? Merci

[@LucasMarchal]

@@mathieumorel448 je trouve les sub vraiment très bon je m’en sers très souvent pour faire des sub basslines. Pour cette utilisation je le préfère au SM-1 presque.

[@mathieumorel448]

@@LucasMarchal yes, cool! Genre ça grelotte pas à 30hz ? La sine est propre ? Merci

[@lucaspadini8223]

Thanks for the video! And for your music too! I love Atlantis, and i also have ob6 and love to mix that sound With some more techno oriented stuff ( if synth can be oriented😂) can i ask you the name of the module With glide offset closed to the Atlantia please?

[@lucaspadini8223]

Sorry i Just realized that you answer me in the beginnig of the video🤦

[@LucasMarchal]

@@lucaspadini8223 Ahah yes It's the Manhattan Analog CVP, great little utility.

[@punkotero]

So powerful synth and vey nice video! Is It quantize the pitch from the Dark Time?

[@LucasMarchal]

Thanks ! yes it's an amazing module. The Dark Time does semi tones quantization I think but I never use it. So not quantized !

[@punkotero]

@@LucasMarchal for this genres i prefer unquantize too works better

[@LucasMarchal]

@@punkotero for sure

[@Monopete_official]

Fantastic ! Another tip : you can easy expand the Atlantis due to his various outputs and the audio input. Take the sine output of osc1 into a wavefolder. I use a Bifold for this. than back into the audio input and mix in with the other waveforms. Set second oscillator to ocs-mode and modulate the folder and fm osc1 . Add some envelopes and VCAs and you have a complex Atlantis. AND PLZ : can you do such a video for the Overstayer modular channel and how you use it and connected it ? It´s pretty complex device, but very intriguing ! I am highly interested to getting one.

[@LucasMarchal]

Yeah all good tips ! I don’t have a wavefolder but bringing back a processed wave into the ext input is a great idea. I have a « no talk » video on the overstayer where I just tweak it with the Alphabase but yeah it’s due for a proper video at one point. It’s been on the list for a while

[@MartinStuertzer]

Just stop it! I always wanted an Atlantis, but since it is discontinued, I accepted, that I won't have one. Thanks for the great video!

[@vinylarchaeologist]

But it isn’t discontinued-it‘s just perpetually out of stock. Best is to pre-order and wait.

[@LucasMarchal]

It's never too late ! Quite a few float around second hand. I agree it's been out of stock for what seems likes years.

[@VicBrazeau]

Intellijel replied to my email regarding re stock of Atlantis ...they said "soon" but that was two months ago.

[@a1o1]

@@VicBrazeau Superbooth is close - I would wait to at least ensure there isn't an "Atlantix" announcement.

[@a1o1]

Did you wait - Altantix announced today

[@markbooth]

Nice demo. Some people don’t like Atlantis due to its size but I come back to it time and time again for techno as it’s just so damn playable. I’ve done a whole video on it too.

[@LucasMarchal]

Probably the most playable voice in euro for sure. I don't get why some people want everything in 4hp. It's a full synth ! 40hp in 3u is still insanely small when you think about it. And I now realise I did watch your video before buying mine :)

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

And now the new Atlantix is out!

[@LucasMarchal]

yes looks like an amazing update

[@hestermp3]

Merci Lucas pour cette démo incroyable. Les séquences sont chouettes, la qualité du son est au top. Le seul hic est que j’ai terriblement envie de trouver un Atlantis maintenant…

[@LucasMarchal]

Ça traine d'occasion ! Merci beaucoup :)

[@peterlel7661]

Very nice! how do you use abletoneffects in realtime? Like without any latency?

[@LucasMarchal]

there's latency but it's the same on everything I guess so it doesn't matter. Never really paid attention to it honestly.

[@loveudon6972]

Still cranking out the sick beats brother.....one critisism ........we NEED more uploads!!!!

[@LucasMarchal]

ahah I know :)

[@florafunk4515]

My filter cutoff konks out right in the sweet spot for a moment, but it’s too sad to unrack it for repair

[@andreasschmelas]

Superb, classy minimal Techno just hoe I like it 🎉

[@LucasMarchal]

Thank you !

[@dholb]

The Atlantis really needs all the love, it's in pretty much all of my patches. I'm looking forward to seeing you becoming polyamorous with the new Atlantix aswell...

[@OlivierSarfati]

Love those "simple" loops as well... Hypnotic and mesmerizing. Nice :)

[@florafunk4515]

Thx homie. I got sounds out of my fave that I never got before, hells yeah

[@devondetroit2529]

Wow that module sounds good, SH101 is my favourite synth

[@LucasMarchal]

classic sounds only !

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

Wait it has been discontinued!?!

[@LucasMarchal]

apparently not but they are few and far between...

[@joserancel6255]

...im listening here in my taxi..where im working and i use to.watched all your videos...min 33:32 the car began to vibrate...i though the A/C broke (35° outside) so good the sound..must be crazy listen this in a big system🤤🤤🤤🤤..thanks for your videos.

[@nicogrubert]

Wow, what a fat sounding module! The sine wave has so much power and deepness. I am not into modular yet but started with some semi modular synths (behringer 2600, Dreadbox Erebus V2 and V3). Saw the Atlantix in a demo of limbic bits. Is the Atlantix the follow up to the Atlantis?

[@LucasMarchal]

Yes that's exactly it ! The Atlantix just came out; the Atlantis is almost 10years old, but still great !

[@partialobject]

Loved the bit about Acid :D Thanks for your video, Lucas, the Atlantis has been in my number 1 spot of first modular oscillator to buy for a while now. This makes me enthusiastic to get started!

[@LucasMarchal]

Ahah yeah, surest way to make me leave the dancefloor. Atlantis is the perfect module to start with !

[@burger659]

@@LucasMarchal the quadrantid swarm also

[@LucasMarchal]

@@burger659 never tried that one but it seems cool ! I'm not a big fan of tiny shaft pots though.

[@a1o1]

Amazing - what did you use to introduce swing ?

[@LucasMarchal]

the Doepfer can do it when you clock it with midi. Otherwise I use the Multiclock.

[@a1o1]

@@LucasMarchal nice - yeah I use the multi-clock but always looking for other options - I wish there was something in hardware that had the power of Ableton groove pools :)

[@kosmikmusa]

Now I need to buy one. Very good video. Thanks for sharing this.

[@LucasMarchal]

thank you ! Good luck on the hunt :)

[@hiddenmaterial]

whenever people ask me what first module to buy i always direct them to atlantis, will tell them to watch this. excellent run through

[@LucasMarchal]

I agree, excellent first synth/module.

[@ChrissV234]

I’m so sad I sold mine.

[@Leofunk69]

23 min, wow!

[@richiesantana7628]

I never uses the level before thanks for that tip and like you I literally bought this after seeing Mylar melodies videos.

[@LucasMarchal]

This is a bit of a sideways use of the input, but I find it super handy. Proper velocity works too if you have a spare sequencer, or with the second row of dark time, similar to the DFAM for example.

[@blablanmoguer]

This module is incredible and so fun to play with

[@LucasMarchal]

agreed on all counts

[@josephgrant2580]

@Timestapm 25:50...sounds like Minus.

[@cqntmodular]

That’s funny 😅 I had the same reaction when I started summing the waves of the harmonic together after months of using the complex! Sometimes the basics stuffs are the one you underestimate the most

[@LucasMarchal]

yes sometimes modular makes you miss some obvious features... velocity is another one that blew my mind when I got a proper synth ahah.

[@cqntmodular]

@@LucasMarchal btw loved the video!!!:) just a feedback, I think your voice has too much low frequencies, it's not too bad but I noticed it while I was listening it with the headphones and the speakers too :)

[@LucasMarchal]

@@cqntmodular thank you for the tip; will keep it in mind. I’m shit at mixing voice / voiceovers.

[@ghostinplainsight4803]

Can you make a video on the Analog 4 so I fall in love with it!

[@LucasMarchal]

Ahah don't have that one and honestly never really been tempted.

[@bilonggrisimmeri]

Me too. Very interested in Elektron Analog 4 MK2.

[@ghostinplainsight4803]

@@bilonggrisimmeri It's not great tbh, RYTM is nice though.

[@bilonggrisimmeri]

@@ghostinplainsight4803 Good idea. Let's have reviews on both! I'd like to hear the Analog 4 Mk2 played as a 4 voice synth, to see how it compares with Prophets, Moogs, Oberheims and of course Rolands. There's loads of reviews showing P-lock and Arps and nothing on it as a playable synth. I have 2 1/2 analogue synth, so do I NEED another one or not?

[@MachineMovement]

Thanks !

[@PersohnaOfficial]

great man

[@royd3715]

Hi what is sequencing the atlantis?

[@vanluud]

Its the dark time for pitch and gate in this video right? But whats modulating row 2 on dark time? Filter mod to my ears is that right? Again and again lovely explanations man! Love to see people share their knowledge!

[@LucasMarchal]

@@vanluud yes I used the dark time. It can be configured so that row 2 sequences the gate length which has an impact on the envelope and thus on the filter !

[@florafunk4515]

My fave module !

[@LucasMarchal]

it's really good

[@JesseHerzog89]

That’s not a triangle wave…
