Angelspit looks at Semi-Modular Synths. Semi-Modulars are great way to bridge from analogue synths to modular synths. This video features the Dark Energy Mk1from Doepfer.

[@IpfxTwin]

A blast from the past! I never got any of the 3 Dark Energy versions that came out, but this video absolutely gave me the modular bug bite.

[@dddux]

I could listen to her saying "oscillator", "VCF", "velocity", "filter", "patch it into..." whole day. And night. Oh yeah, cool synth, too. :) Love semi-modulars.

[@FrostNocturne]

I don't know much about music, but from the what you guys show, it looks like it takes some serious skill. But, we're talking about Angelspit. Of course you guys have skill.

[@audiohumang]

I love this video, I love the sound, I love her talking about it, I love her.

[@kurisuchiinathecrocodile333]

This got me into synths. Legendary!

[@sergiohormiga1983]

The best publicity Doepfer can ever get.

[@glyngoll]

Awaiting the arrival of a Dark Energy v1 - your hot tips will come in handy.

[@sella_b]

Wow... I am very, very impressed...

[@megalodongle]

Very cool. It's interesting how the Synth makes the notes with a different velocity sound like an entirely different Sample all-together.

[@angelspitmusic]

it's Cubase SX2 (!!) We've been using it since 2004...never bothered updating because it works fine.

[@Thundercube_Music]

After seeing this, I'm very tempted to buy one of those synths. Sounds epic!

[@errorspending]

sounds great!

[@gearpunk9632]

awesome sounds and presentation

[@MissSpastic]

@YoungerOlderOne they're called Circle Lenses. They're very popular in Asia, and starting to spread towards other countries as well now. They have a pigmented circular ring past where her iris should end, creating the illusion of bigger irises.

[@dubchronic]

I'm hooked!

[@jezuz12345]

Great video, thanks a lot! Your music shreds!

[@agkwtechno]

more vids like this please! we love it!

[@therealKINDLE]

Oh god that bit at the end sounded so fucking Squarepusher beautiful...

[@silversunastrology]

I don't understand any of this but Amelia's extpressions are priceless. =)

[@lesscunning9651]

good demo.

[@idontcareproductions]

you are amazing! thanks.

[@XYtoTheDoubleG]

I'm in love with an ANGEL ...... GOODNESS I hope she's making that music!

[@CartomancerManaKun]

That was awesome. I feel like making some music right now. Too bad I don't have a modular synth. :P

[@acidjack]

Thanks for this nice video. i have the modular version but i see now a other way to use it. thnaks a lot !!!

[@abkamera]

Thanks for your video! What's up with the boys When a woman explains modular systems she is reduced to her appearance. Behave you guys

[@module19]

Is it just me or Why are most Dopefer Dark energy demos on you tube showing lame sequenced TB type analog drum type sounds? This thing is capable of great moogy leads, efx and super fat synth bass sounds. The filter is so sweet and the envelopes can be wicked fast. (I have two Dark Energies)

[@77Tom77Tom77]

Thank you very much for your demonstration! The music in the last part of your video sounds cool (maybe some additional distorted sounds would be great).

[@ISOcaineD3TH]

This is definitely different - Destroyx doing what Zoog normally Blipverts about. It's just as effective though! After watching this, and previous modular and patchwork Blipverts, I'm pretty much convinced making a room full of these puppies :P Awesome work Destroyx! D3TH

[@Kurukusu]

Ive gotten newfound respect for Angelspit now..liked them at first..disliked them later..but..thats a nice mix of modules there!

[@Quiggers1981]

just got a DE-zwo, excellent tutorial!!

[@BSODslayer]

Yes, but it comes with an 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch adapter cable, so no worries there :)

[@juanpelayo7660]

"VERY AWESOME!"

[@Phonosheet]

amazing makeup! not to mention this little synth either ;)

[@jmb102093]

your modular synth behind looks bad ass that had to cost a fortune

[@mynmyself]

i have a semi modular (mfb kraftzwerg, nice little box full of knobs and conexions) and i wanna use logic to sequence (is the only sequencer i have)... but i am really new into all this midi sequencing stuff... my problem is that, for example, i draw the kick in one track, and with midi i attach my synth and do the sound for the kick... but if i wanna do the snare i need to do it separatly, i am not able of doing a whole kit at the same time, only one sound... i have tried recording as audio

[@zaggedout]

epic win right here destroyx 5 stars fershur and nao i wanna make music but like cartomancer i dont have much stuff for it : P

[@Fluorescent523]

ooo! 5/5

[@AngelOfDeath1897]

Damn! Looking sweet =D. All of this stuff escapes me though lol, maybe I'll stick with my guitar.. Great video!

[@kr61ab67]

@Raikonex ha ha exactly what I'm feeling. Blofeld is a great machine but I never find the moment to play with !! those infinite menus for sure..

[@mynmyself]

track, but it happened the same... i conencted the output of the synth into the input of my interface but it will only record the first note on the sequence... how do you do what you are doing at the end? i mean, doing life a whole kit, a bass and even through out some lead lines? thanks in advance, and excuse my english!

[@pierlooqup]

wow, great video! i was wondering, how would you proceed to recreate that velocity-controlled stepping filter on the audio input if you had to do it using software (ableton)? thanks for sharing

[@MissSpastic]

DestroyX- Did you cut off your old wig or get a new one? I'm just curious because I like them both lol

[@benxtan]

Very cool synth. What other options are there for this type of synth? I'm interested in getting a synth that requires patch cables but not looking to spend too much...

[@theemomancan]

so are all the sounds in this video from the dark energy which is being recorded by cubase?nothing is going into the dark energy?

[@weaponEX]

Does the Dark Energy only have one eighth-inch output?

[@salvadory1103]

im in love- lets get MOdular together!

[@rustle9369]

All cv's should be on the front

[@cartesiaLive]

@svenisnumb this is pretty much THE cheapest semimodular

[@DannyBoy89]

omg that sounds sick! and Destroyx i heart u! u look like a goddess of lolita! xxx

[@mogoduc]

@GregorEicher "Krankhaus" macht auch Sinn. Bitte mal ein bißchen weiter denken!

[@Thundercube_Music]

I'd love to buy a doepfer dark energy. I'm sick of all the menu diving involved with my blofeld

[@aikighost]

Im not sure which is sexier DestroyX or the Dark Energy :)

[@pavlovianprogramming]

Because it's more logical to assume that one of the members of an extremely popular industrial band who's been around for 11 years, and has probably been making her own music much longer, has no clue what she's doing?

[@Synthiefrau]

I have one....jeeeaappp

[@greatmajingo]

cubase vs reason?

[@YoungerOlderOne]

Is something strange with her pupils?

[@sergiohormiga1983]

That's called endorsement. Actually :]

[@mogoduc]

Maßregeln - da ist doch eher Dein Ding, oder ? (siehe oben)

[@LizzardHimself]

wow, thats what i call a sexy voice! :)

[@neolojism]

Crazy eyebrows :) Like the raw mixing. I'm really over effects. Sometimes a bit of tape delay is ok, but less is more.

[@floatershaw]

Hi there take no notice of Seth Ogden below !! i am younger better looking and i love your Modular so marry me instead, p,s great vid and the other big bonus you no what your on about ,,

[@epiclyligitish]

dat cameraman

[@acidbat4441]

Marry me

[@cartesiaLive]

@svenisnumb won't get much cheaper than this

[@yakobhat]

I think you misunderstand what a blipvert is.

[@johnisfaster]

somehow I think a hot chick can sell product better than a handful of old synth geeks from the 80's could. ;)

[@accordeure]

Beautyfull girl !

[@floatershaw]

Hey great stuff i wish had a girlfriend that was in to modular stuff like you it would be haven thank,s for the vid ,, :-)

[@witchkingfire]

good to know some of that noice isnt coming from sexual organs ...random thaught =p

[@belagiorgo]

LADY GAGA MODULAR HAHAH

[@columbo71]

She reminds me of that girl synth artist called Synth Bytch, hot chick and synths ....mmmmmmmm :-)

[@IcechickenSr]

OMG, I Love this chick!! She looks fuckin sweet. Love to wake up next to her every morning lol. Anyways this is a really cool modular, I can't wait to get hold of mine. Cool little vid, picked up a little bit of info on what the different filters can be used for. Cheers, IC.

[@felmoe]

I love this very sweet chick!!!!!

[@cartesiaLive]

Lol.

[@daveyc3407]

I bet she tastes great

[@epiclyligitish]

wtf

[@Max2mxx]

man as if this aussie chick actauly knows any of this theres a person behind the camera with notes i bet

[@weaponEX]

Thumb me down, but I suspect that this lady doesn't know what the things she's saying (reading) actually mean. What a chauvinist pig I am the Dark Energy is awesome

[@nikkorocksalot5254]

weaponEX You're likely wrong. I know it may seem crazy to some, but women can, in fact, play music, and learn technology.

[@qishmish]

Suzanne Cianni and Pauline Olivers, or Christina Cubisch would be classic examples on modular synth/electroacoustic women composers.

[@wax83]

makeup girl playing herself..
