Holy crap, that lighting and videography at the end...my mind is blown. Even though your channel is mainly about music, your visuals are also spectacular.

Yeah, I can't imagine all the work that goes into these. Great stuff.

There's nothing better.

[@famitory]

ironically drummers are notorious for doing exactly this sort of thing. "ok now i'm going to play a 5:6:7 poly-rhythm. you might notice that this bleeds over the bar line in our 27:16 time signature but i'm going to hit a crash on every 1 beat so that we don't get lost"

[@TJ-hs1qm]

@@famitory 7:01 not sure if this example files under polyrhythm or polymetric. Polymetric I guess would be correct. agreed f you can't play a descent 6/8 poly rhythm as a drummer you're definitely not a drummer :)

"I made a bleep bloop." Couldn't have said it better

[@buckbumble]

[@andremitaccent9328]

I finally understand why undertone adds a darker sound, the harmonics naturally fall into a minor chord. You're really helping a traditional musician understand how these electric boxes make music

[@diwakar598]

such a good oscillator......it would be like a free real estate for glitchy songs .. loved it andrew

Love or hate Moog, you know two things for certain when you get one: the oscillators are dope, and the filter is legendary.

Nice song at the end! Honestly, synths and modules like this have often come off as a bit overwhelming. But you really broke things down with this one, and it was in a way that was super easy to understand. Not to mention, also taking time to explain subharmonics. Thanks, Andrew!

[@homeslice1479]

9:30 is why I pre-ordered one of these things. Beautiful subharmonics coming from Moog oscillators? With polyrhythm and quantization? And just/ET tuning?! And a 32-point patch bay?!? I'M ALL ABOUT IT.

[@liamfoskett5220]

The third sound of the intro gives me that feeling that modular does a lot, where you get the sense you're hearing the actual "voice" of the machine, like what it would be if you weren't listening. Why does it have to be 700🤧

[@robappleby583]

Because Moog recycles ancient technologies to make you worship a false god. Having said that, the One is awesome.

[@Vincent-jv1pp]

If you have a Maths module in your Eurorack setup, you already have a much cheaper subharmonicon. Loopop has made a video on how to set it up

[@FatherSaccharine]

@@Vincent-jv1pp Sort of, it gives you one sub, but not two per voice, and then you'd need more Maths to divide the clocks... It's sort of like a bunch of Maths all crammed together. I would pay to just have that sequencer on its own, as long as it could do audio rate.

[@andrij.demianczuk]

My SH sat on my shelf collecting dust for the past 6 months. Now that I’ve gotten into Modular, this thing is the centrepiece of my rig. It took a while, but probably my favourite piece of gear I own now

This is one of those videos I can refer back to multiple times at different points of my life and learn new things every time

[@MarioTorre]

I don’t know why everyone says there are 6 oscillators. The sub oscillators are not independent, it’s “just” a multiplier followed by a divider circuit, the oscillator input is one. This doesn’t mean the value and sound of this unit is divided too ;) but it’s not a 6 oscillators unit.

[@jamesr6562]

Nice instrument. I’m gravitating towards this kind of thing these days, where you don’t fully understand what you’re doing, but it sounds good. You just go with your gut.

I love how you casually drop pretty deep music theory concepts in your videos... Projecting the energy of *If I can do this, so can you* which i guess is true on a very fundamental level..(In practice: if only!)! Particularly, here, the *fun fact* of the first few harmonics being intrinsically "natural" and major while the first few subharmonics are "unnatural" and minor... mind-boggling stuff and very inspirattional! When you *know stuff* and want to share that with other people, there's often a fine line (that I sadly keep crossing) where you talk too much. You never do that! Cheers, bro.
