@9:30 ...Every electronic musician has that moment that they create something so dope that they are no longer in control of themselves and become a dancer to their own music.

[@dumafuji]

You have a nice style. It’s like back playing my parents organ and you hold down the “rock2” preset and the “samba1” preset at the same time then let one go and the rhythm kicks in different. I could do that all day.

[@djrandomjavabass]

Noise Engineering should pay you. I bought Mimetic digitalis and BIA after watvhing your video. Now I want this too.

[@RickyTinez]

LOL

[@djrandomjavabass]

@@RickyTinez It finally arrived and it's amazing. Thanks or this video.

[@joelsherman5832]

This module is great when combined with the digitakt 2 euclidean sequencers sending triggers through a midi to cv converter. You can generate a trigger pattern then commit it to the track and edit it which you can't do with eurorack sequencers like the turing machine or marbles.

[@RickyTinez]

YO! that'd be insane!! I need to try this with my uMidi

[@mungewell]

As he was disabling steps in his mini sequencer I was wondering how this would play with a Torso T-1...

[@eurotium]

Can't you do this by sending triggers to marbles ? I´m almost sure you can. Marbles will only advance if you send a trigger to its clock, I dont think it has to be a clock sent in, but any trigger. So, the way I see it, this can be mimetized (pun intended) with marbles.Marbles adds a few things, has less cv outs but on the other hand has more triggers.Even stuff as the uGrids is great to send trigger streams to these sort of modules (gamut included) and you can use grids to send either preset phrases, as well as euclidian stuff (alternate mode) and you have a chaos factor that you can dial so it varies the trigger stream a little bit. Modular is such an immense world it hurts :)

[@eurotium]

also, there is an alternate firmware for Marbles that allows a sh1tload of new stuff, namely up to 128 steps (infinity was always there if you unlock x or y) and there is one option in that firmware that allows you to reset marbles by sending a trigger to the right clock (x). if you have a marbles unit you are losing a lot by not using the alternate firmware, especially since you can opt in or out of each particular alternative function (so you can have clock reset on X while keeping the remaining functions unaltered).

[@NoobeyTunes]

This is so incredible! I've seen so many modular vids that weren't interesting to me. This one grabbed me right away. Stands out as being less experimental but so much more engaging than atmospheric dones/pads/etc. It's got a beat and bounce that makes you want to move!

[@RickyTinez]

Let's groove Noobey! Thanks for the comment and the view :)

[@Andrew-ku5mn]

Controlled randomness is the shit with modular, spot on

[@RickyTinez]

Oh yea, It's something I chase big time

[@mdeerocks6792]

Or you can get Squarp Hapax, or use similar tools in Ableton.

[@cyroz1s]

More modular!! Love this demo. Your modular vids were part of what got me to pull the first euro trigger early last year.

[@joeljae]

Awesome! This is basically what I've been trying to turn my turing machine into. You could use a sample & hold to update the pitch only on trigger. The cool thing about modular is that you can often fix the shortcomings of a module with another module.

[@jamesbaynton1881]

Me too, Turing machine, mixed with synced lfos and offset to 'control the' spread', plus S&H, with separate pitch and triggers. Although I'm sure this NE module ends up being more than the sum of my parts.

[@dbregel]

A delightful throwback to the small system videos. Congrats to years of inspiration, education, and JAAAAAAAAMS!

[@RickyTinez]

Yo! Thanks for sticking through it all. Hope all is well

[@iLEZ]

This is fantastic, your presentation style is so comfortable to listen to and the grooves are immaculate. Love to see you doing modular stuff.

[@lefunghi6151]

It's modules like this that get me sidetracked from what I actually want to build my rack around. It seems like so much fun.

[@lovedeathdisco]

it's okay, you'll get where you're going then find ways to work these random sources in. i just added a opp ned after using exclusively deterministic step sequencers for years. it's even better to add those flavours once you have dialed in your own distinct sound w/those core building blocks.

[@kay_lpzw]

Dope stuff. I am doing a similar thing with CVilization in mode 3 .. it has a normaled noise to the CV recorder and quantizer. I just dice until it clicks and then let it evolve by itself

[@Dekkie61]

I love how I'm kind of in sync with your inspiration cycle. I've been jamming with the desktop synths for a while now and just started touching my modular again this week. Wallet's empty, but I can always recreate some of this with what I've got.

[@RickyTinez]

haha! it comes in waves right?

[@stretch1807]

I'm dancing to this KZbin tutorial and loving it! Thanks, Ricky

[@touthowzander]

Last time I watched one of these, from you, I spent all my money! Haha. No regrets, but I am more careful now. Learning! Thank you!

[@EZBOT_]

If only I had invested solely into Noise Engineering instead of the hodge podge system that I have now, I'd be so much happier with my modular.

[@RickyTinez]

hahah! There are a few brands that I realize I gravitate towards, NE heavily being one of them

[@el_dani]

@@RickyTinez It's hard to decide on what task to focus your Eurorack on (unless you want to spend a fortune [you do anyway in modular land] and have a huge wall of modules) - For example I wanted to shift my rack more towards experimental-drone-ambient but after this video I'm hesitating to pull out my "simple bass line"-setup..

[@defjeff2907]

I'm down to a small case of Noise Engineering and Bastl modules.

[@clonzee]

I keep thinking the same thing lol

[@defjeff2907]

This is a must have module, NE nails it again! I'm surprised it does not sample and hold pitch on the trigger or have the option but a sample and hold module solves that. Sliding pitches can be fun too.

[@martebar6700]

If you want to lock the note just use a sample & hold ! Honestly, you could emulate what this module does by sending a turing machine to a quantizer through an attenuator and a scaler to change the "height" and the "amplitude" of the sequence and then sample the signal with an S&H. But with modular the possibilities are so vast, mix an lfo or noise to the sequence, or another sequence with a different clock and number of steps. If you quantize and S&H, you will always get something musically and rhythmically relevant (sampling a sequence with a rhythmical gate is kinda like a rhythm quantizer if you think about it) Anyway, that's probably my favourite thing to do with modular !

[@festuswilliams654]

I was thinking TM with the scaler plus Doepfer precision adder..

[@eurotium]

this is something that NE can do easily through firmware. but that's true, a sh module with a multed trigger in will only change the note if triggered.

[@ekoboydj]

Ricky is the dude anyone would love to have as a friend. Dope presentation once again, killer track and sold on the module.

[@BlackMan614]

I bought a Clep Diaz based on your recommendation. So great, I bought another. This thing has my interest as well, using it as a modulator or using a clock div/mult on the trigger input. But yeah… NE is addicting. Bought a binseq and a newer version BIA. Just awesome stuff.

[@genxfeedback]

I have a very similar setup, and I noticed that extra note thing a few times now. It's almost like an extra upbeat.

[@RickyTinez]

exactly! haha sometimes it works and sometimes it's funky. Almost like a 303 slide lol

[@clonzee]

If you route the pitch through a sample and hold after the gamut and your trigger into both the gamut and the s&h you can kill those note tails.This module looks killer tho.

[@unbelievableasmr]

Ricky, I bought this immediately after watching. It’s amazing!!! Thanks for your take on content. Big fan

[@TRaddcliff]

You can always put in a 3ms signal delay on your trig to make sure your pitch selection is made JUST before the trig gets there

[@alxfuture]

nice to hear this gear pushing out some soul, great work Ricky.

[@92JelaniMusic]

This is absolutely incredible! Changing my ModularGrid layout tonight.

[@solongyouth]

great video, and i really love that filtered chord on the Digitakt

[@RichardStroffolino]

Definitely reminds me of what the Bastl SoftPop 2 can do, but this setup gives you even more granular control. Very cool

[@munke33e2]

Couldn't you use a sample and hold module to get rid of that pitch sliding effect? There are probably some 1u modules small enough to fit in the setup you already have

[@RickyTinez]

ah ha! That' s a great Idea, I bet I can get a 1U tile that would fit!

[@mgyb8269]

Dope basslines! To fix the gliding pitch issue, I think you have enough space for a 1u sample and hold. Just send the pitch cv and triggers to the sample and hold

[@RickyTinez]

Thanks for this info! I'm going to give it a try

[@fabmeyer_ch]

This module has a nice groove. The created sequences are really good.

[@DanielNayberg]

Sooo - sounds like it’s a NE take on Marbles basically. Marbles is my favorite module so not a bad thing.

[@eliaswiedner9695]

Is that „Organ sounding“ Pad in the background also from the modular?

[@jdavis.fw303]

Super refreshing video, haven't watched the channel in a while, will definitely be watching more often 🙌

[@Chris-qq7mt]

The manual states that the trigger outputs can be switched from passthrough mode to rhythm generation mode by holding down the reset button. Does that change the behaviour of the CV outputs in terms of sampling/holding the value?

[@eurotium]

I also remember seeing that in their module video ... I think this should "fix" the sliding notes.

[@roscius6204]

I love this. whats the most minimalist, guitarist friendly way of achieving this equipment wise? starting from scratch

Cross Mimetic with a Metropolix and a Turing Machine in a nice little box

[@RickyTinez]

Yea exactly, I almost got a metropolix, but in the modular world I love leaning more into the "random" generator less programmed generators

[@BastianBenjamin]

wow, this module is basically what I've been trying to achieve with much more HP for a long time now. Guess I can put all of those on reverb now hehe.

[@MarcoLongoMusic]

Unbelievable timing! I was looking into something similar just now and this module might be what I need. Thanks Ricky

[@RickyTinez]

haha! Yea there are some older modules that kiiinnddddaaaa do something like this but to me this is the best there is for the "random sequence generator" that you can loop. I mean it's got 4 of them! c'mon!

[@Qwiv]

Huh, I basically made this module in Droid. I recreated mimetic and added these same features because they were there, so I have the combo of the 2 with the save, etc. I like this version from NE better as I don’t use Mimetic as much anymore. It needed to many attenuators, which Droid adds basically for free.

[@d.b.cooper5775]

[@bitboxmodular8838]

NI did update the firmware as u proposed. U should get an award 🙂

[@Half_Plus_Seven]

Ricky, I watched another video that was talking about the inputs being sound sources (pitch?)... But yours is the sequence or trig - from Steppy.... and that makes more sense... I still don't quite understand the whole thing....

[@RickyTinez]

TL:DR when you send it a trigger, it moves forward one step in its randomized sequence. When you lock in a sequence, it will still move forward one step within that locked in sequence. If you use audio at its inputs it'd probably be moving forward really fast haha. I like using Steppy to move the randomized sequence forward because it allows me to add breaks or new rhythmic patterns instead of having a steady 16th note clock. And if I like/lock in a pattern, I can keep those notes but explore the rate at which they play by adding or removing steps from steppy

[@mcolville]

So many sequencers decouple pitch and trigger so i get new pitches on every clock pulse, even when theres no trigger. Its annoying as hell and i always have to slap a S&H in there.

[@RickyTinez]

haha! That might be the move, I'm looking into them :)

[@brianbrill]

Re: That not carrying over (5:00 mark) - how about a simple Sample and Hold? That should fix it, right?

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Wow this is slick! It's like Mimetic but you don't have to keep generating new patterns. (I don't need to get into modular, I don't need to get into modular, I don't need to get into modular!). I wish these devices were like small midi guitar pedals (or a VST!).

[@RickyTinez]

haha! exactly. Yt takes, Mimetic's generation, Scales's taming of the CV, and technically Steppy's pattern generation and puts it in one place. but before I took Steppy out I was curious about "clocking" it with Steppy and I was blown away

[@MrMarcLaflamme]
