Thanks for doing this video for people like me who couldn't convince myself that nothing will compare to Moogs sound. Ill have the Crave and Edge currently waiting for them to release Spice

[@gaatjenietsaan9612]

i have the M32 and the crave and can tell u from experience: Nothing compares to Moog! What the reviewers dont tell u, but what u find all over the internet: The crave has a noise issue. Allot of people are reporting noisebleed problems. When u hit a note, there is always noise audible. The only way to fix this is to input a sound source to the ext. in point. Before people buy: Reed some user experiences.

[@neildmonte8786]

Does it have white noise?

[@wesleyleigh4063]

Yeah i mean the filter sound s a little clean to me. I don't why they didn't add an overdrive circuit like on the minimoog? I wonder if it softclips/fattens at all if you push the input... I know you can feedback the filter somehow but i don't think that's the same as just boosting the input. Think i might buy it but then if i don't love the lack of filter grit/warmth ima sell and get the arp odyssey or neutron instead

[@wrmusic8736]

Ladder filters are the best

[@woodswalker88]

which external instrument do you have running out of/into your "external audio"? seeing I have no idea what is going on here, I am simply trying to reproduce the cable pattern that you have & see what happens.

[@StarskyCarr]

I think I’ve got the VCF out running into the external audio in. It can give a nice bit of feedback distortion and add a bit of grit to the sound when dialled in at certain resonances (it’s an old trick used a lot in the Minimoog and Arp Odyssey). It may not be doing much in these patches, as I’m essentially experimenting with it, and seeing how it reacts to different inputs etc. I’ve recorded the videos once I’ve found a sequence of tweaks, switches and notes that come together as a nice short performance - so the patch cables may not be integral to the overall tone in all cases, but a remnant of continuous dabbling.

[@thirfytash7286]

Is it just me, I own a neutron that has the same 3340 chip oscillator as this but why doesn't it sound as punchy, sharp, concise, and clean as this? Is it because of the filter? Or because it's running through its overdrive and delay before output?

[@chancemeeting2849]

I agree with you. Something just sounds off with the Neutron's gain staging. Like it's clipping in the wrong ways. My honeymoon period with that synth seems to be coming to an end. It's very flexible but rarely sounds great.

[@thirfytash7286]

@@chancemeeting2849 I love it for woofy soft bass sounds and sound effects and paraphonic ambient sounds but just sounds a little soft for anything else, I mean other sounds are doable of course but just sound softer than the crave imo, but I haven't tried the trick of bypassing the overdrive and delay yet, that might help things. But still for that price the neutron has got a great range for those aforementioned sounds and it's patch bay is also a steal to use with other gear, but yes it's not a do all mono /duo synth but I guess that's any synth! I'm happy enough with it and being so cheap also buying a crave on top of the neutron doesn't seem so bad, but still wish the neutron could sound like the crave since it has the same oscillator

[@planes124]

[@Toughinger]

Some cooooool patches I mean

[@ramruido]

what reverb/ effects pedal do you normally use for these demos ?

[@StarskyCarr]

I tend to add Eventide Space as a goto. I just j know that within a couple of tweaks fro the basic time I’ll have something that works to put the synth in a nice space. In a mix it might not work as well or may take a little more tweaking but on its own it a no brainer (in a mix it is really too - just covering my back 😂)

[@DJMikeron]

Is the sound really be produced by the crave it Sound like the crave is connected to a specular reverb if I am wrong this crave is amazing .please let me know

As the text in the video said. The Crave was connected to an Eventide Blackhole reverb, also external delay.

The bass station has new firmware with lots more features! The neutron is a great step towards eurorack if you want that I feel it needs more utilities modules to get it right! I can’t make a decision but the new firmware in the bass station is really unbelievable!!

Any reason why you've got the output routed via the mult in a few patches? where did you try splitting the signal to (and why did you decide against it ;) ) Is there much difference between that and just routing the headphones to a destination?

[@Magnus_Loov]

Wow. When I saw the specs I thought "Nah, 1 oscillator. Probably thin and boring". Then you show this video where you get stuff moving with the filter as a second oscillator and even have patches which sounds like 2 oscillators and a sub. This one patched into Behringer Model D would be a great combo for that total price of them. You would get PWM and weird modulated stuff from this one and then still could use the filter on the Model D (which I assume have been used up in many of the oscillator-generating "fattening" patches here).

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@ftj4441 I do know that Model D is Eurorack compatible. What type of standard are you talking about that the Crave supports. It would be strange if Behringer have two Synths and one of them Eurorack compatible and the other not, wouldn't it?

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@ftj4441 I checked the manual. It is not stated specifically that it just accepts 5 volt. It differs for different inputs. The LFO, for example, accepts -5V to +5V which clearly is a range of 10V. Where did you get this "just 5V" from? I mean, if the model D would have been Eurorack incompatible when they stated it was compatible, then there would have been an absolute outrage, so I find this very, very unlikely. Besides, this guy have a working Model D in patched into a Eurorack setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIbUk2t5a7CEqbs How come that works? Edit: Checked a bit more. The standard actually says +-12V, but there is additional info: "The Eurorack format calls for ±12V power (most other current formats use ±15V), in addition +5V is required by some modules. Unfortunately, the orientation of the power connections are not well standardized; the format uses ribbon cables for power and a two-row ribbon cable connector containing either 10 or 16 pins. A "red stripe" on the ribbon indicates -12V. The 16-pin connector uses the extra pins to distribute +5V, control voltage and gate signals from a keyboard to the modules via a common case connection." I checked the Behringer manual again and you have to buy another power supply that supports 12V plus that you use that ribbon that came with it. The mounting doesn't seem that easy... So maybe that is what you mean? That it isn't possible to just patch it with the Crave without this modification and extra power supply? D-man this got complicated now!

[@justinpower4475]

How does a single osc sound like this? Is there a sub?

[@bernarddzido1496]

No, its just a very good osc. Google 3340 chip

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

The filter and amp no doubt add a bit of extra harmonic to the sound. A 3340 waveform just sounds basic raw. So it's a combination of the signal path aswell.

[@VTOLKits]
