Almost forgotten rhythm generator for just $70..? Featuring Doepfer A-151 Quad Sequential Switch

Consider giving the video a like - best way to support the channel! Peace ✌️

I love the passion in this man for eurorack. you get my like and my follow good sir!

[@axis_8]

Thank you! I needed to hear that.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Love the tones around 2:23

[@CatFish107]

I use one to create longer, and varying sequences by feeding different step sequencers in, and switching between them at varying intervals.

[@axis_8]

That's yet another possibility. Thanks for sharing!

[@russ254]

that is a very good idea!

[@justinhuffman2430]

Yes. Exactly the type of thing i have seen STEEVIO discuss. ❤

[@apeirogonmusic]

Excellent Video SS from Doepfer is simple utility with infinite applications The Best part of Euro

[@axis_8]

I want to do more with the SS, so many possibilities. Thanks!

Been messing with 4 LFOs going into a sequential switch as a trigger for Plaits. Currently don't have any of these modules so I've been testing it in VCV rack and it sound amazing. It's rythmic and a bit random

[@axis_8]

I really think there is much music to be discovered using this sequential switch method. Keep it up!

[@angebruneel]

headphones on, what do I hear in the back at 3:37 ?

[@axis_8]

Hehe... Before the recording my son was watching cartoons on the Disney+. I asked him to pause it while I was making a new recording, which took place in the living room. He was not pleased and sighed to express his impatience, I guess...

[@russ254]

was wondering if that was a eurorack non-appreciator. . .

[@axis_8]

@@russ254 Hehe... A non-appreciator of having to wait for me to finish my YT recording, definitely...

[@wilhelm_yells]

Excellent video - I can see how I can use my Joranalogue compare 2 in a kind of similar way to generate textures. I had not thought of this before!

[@axis_8]

Thanks! The Compare 2 is on my shortlist, btw. Eurorack is rich in that you don't need fancy stuff to create interesting music. It lets you create fancy 'modules' by combining simple ones.

[@wariusgaius]

I use Compare 2 + A-151 to switch between different outputs of 1 or 2 oscillators at audio rate. New complex waveforms emerge. Lot of fun.

[@axis_8]

​@@wariusgaiusThanks for sharing!

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

Great tip, with explanation. Thanks.

[@Petros_Michalakopoulos]

I actually ordered one but i really think of it as an arrangement tool

[@SeQFreQ369]

Very informative, thank you, just won yourself a new subscriber. Cheers

[@reorderdj]

Very cool mate 🫶🏻

[@milan-murratti]

another great idea, thanks

[@cmnit61]

Just grabbed one 2nd hand for 45€ mate! I can't wait to experiment with your suggestions! 👍

[@axis_8]

It is such a versatile module! Try to use the reset input for additional variety.

[@cmnit61]

Great! And BTW I’ll put Scanned once again in good use as a source for such experiments like you have done!

[@axis_8]

@@cmnit61 Scanned is my favourite voice. ✌️

[@kosmikmusa]

0:53 What kind of effect you are using? Sounds psychedelic.

[@kosmikmusa]

Aiihh... I see it says in video... My ears are bigger then my eyes, but I can see it now.

[@axis_8]

Yeah, I use what is described. Nothing more. Peace✌️

[@cataraxis]

i bought one and use it constantly, thinking or getting another another

[@axis_8]

Imho it's pretty close to the essence of eurorack. Two are not one too many.

[@russ254]

sequential switch is best module!

[@axis_8]

Best bang for the buck, imho.

[@smartassrecords]

sometimes I like to leave a couple blank when using gates etc,,, so as to allow some space .

[@axis_8]

👍

[@ngDetecter]

exquisite pun

[@axis_8]

It is, indeed.

I have 3 A-151s in my system!

[@axis_8]

Warms my heart! 😁

@@axis_8 gotta make them boogalydoots!

[@nystada]

Yeah, might be. Still fighting to understand a sequential switch :D so your video comes handy

[@axis_8]

Hi, take a look at this Reddit post of mine explaining the idea of using A-151 Quad Sequential Switch as a rhythm generator: www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/14sfr5x/almost_forgotten_rhythm_generator_for_just_70/?

[@colourbasscolourbassweapon2135]

well is it granular synthesis so yeah 😎

[@axis_8]

Hehe, you are making a point that's partly true (no pun intended) if every part of a soundwave is considered a grain. But not true if you consider the synthesizing part inherent to granular synthesis as this is all analog and played back as such, hence no synthesizing of the individual grains (unless you would maintain that the reverb is some kind of granular synthesizing, which it is to some extent, but then all reverberation using a DSP is granular synthesis). Personally I would rather refer to it as analog wave slicing.

[@colourbasscolourbassweapon2135]

@@axis_8 i see

[@colourbasscolourbassweapon2135]

@@axis_8 yeah true that makes a lot of sense i see nice😎

[@smartassrecords]

erica synths used to make a 3hp one , I cannot seem to find it anywhere so I assume they're no longer making it

[@axis_8]

The only one they have at the moment, although currently out of stock, is the Sequential Switch v2, 10hp. It packs very interesting and advanced features. Worth checking out.
