Quick, Fun & Musical! Triple Eurorack Filter with Snapshots // Etna by Patching Panda

[@patchingpanda]

Oh my...! This video has so many amazing and clever patches, the way Ben thinks about sound design is on another level, and there are so many possibilities to learn from his complex patches! You are very inspiring Ben! Thank you!

[@DivKid]

Thank you for inspiring modules to work with, a total pleasure!

[@ogami1972]

NOOOOO! Please god, tell them to quit making modules! What kind of craziness have I gotten myself into? Oh, sure it starts small...a niftycase, a couple of B clones...then you're picking up a module here and there...and another case....then a few more...next thing you know you're selling modules to buy other modules, and a whole damn wall is filled with cases. With their lights, blinking and blinking, telling you "we need more friendsss.."...I am lost. YOU DID THIS!!!! You and Mylar and Hainbach...you have blood on your synths!

[@Tokmurok]

Become one with the modules. For the Omnissiah.

I've watched this a couple times and I'm finally ready to drop a HARD SYNC!

[@DivKid]

hard sync!

[@kosmikmusa]

After 1:24 watching this I bought one. Continuing watching and I am more than happy for my purchase. It just sounds amazing and your videos are superb.

[@DivKid]

thank you, appreciate the kind words.

[@PWMaarten]

A lot of great audio examples and general patching tips in this one! Even if I don’t GAS over the gear, your videos are always informative, interesting and with great sounds!

[@DivKid]

thank you, I always try to make videos that are applicable to lots of things and not just the module in focus. Appreciate it.

[@tropfen]

just as i start looking for an advanced filter for my case this gets released. absolutley god sent! it is so versatile and innovative.

[@DivKid]

good timing!

[@henryside6248]

Crazy good video 😎 Thanks a lot!

[@DivKid]

thank you

[@ThroughTheBag]

Super innovative module design, love it and great explanation as always 🤘

[@DivKid]

Thank you! I feels like it really leads on nicely from the couple of Vibrazum variations and Moon Phase. Nice work from PP!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

YES !!! It´s DivKid Time ! 😆

[@DivKid]

haha yay! Thanks

[@stegnation]

I was already convinced during Superbooth trying it out, but this is some very nice DivKid icing on the cake or lava on the vulcano ❤

[@DivKid]

checking it out in person is always best, glad you got to do that too and happy to provide something else about it :)

[@BrailleSounds]

This looks sick

[@DivKid]

Yeah nice sounding clean and precise feeling filters under all that control is fantastic

[@blindianajones]

You should sell advertising space on the backs of your hands. If that works, then you can expand to each finger.

[@DivKid]

hahaha! Lets take this to dragons den and get a business plan together.

[@Vegamorph]

So if you had to decide between this and the SSF Dipole? (of course both would be nice)...

[@DivKid]

Tricky as they're different. The Dipole is inherently stereo (though can be dual mono) and has 4 filters (though they're in pairs per side, not totally open 4 separate filters). It doesn't have any of the sequencing and snapshot functions of Etna. It also has drive and a different filter character compared to the clean high headroom nature of Etna. The decision would depend on the situation and the goal.

[@Vegamorph]

@@DivKid I thought you might say that Ben. Very different toolsets. Hence I cannot decide and will struggle to drop £800 on two filter modules. Cheers for your review nonetheless

[@DivKid]

Yeah it's a tough one and honestly I can't answer (not because I won't pick one over the other) without some context. 3 mono filters might go further than two dual parallel filters. You might be able to animate with lots of sequence the Dipole to do Etna's thing easily ... musical style, patch approach, other modules all play a part in deciding something. For you I'd try to distil do you want stereo and a characterful and dual filter peak per side type thing? Or is the snapshots and animation potential going to bring more to your set up?

[@voidcat6876]

fuck that sounds so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

[@DivKid]

Yeah it's great fun

Want. Badly.

Hard sync, of course.

[@joeymc5272]

Hey div. Whats your Honest impressions of sound quality of this filter and is there any other modules that can do what etna can in your opinion. Thanks man! Love your content!

[@DivKid]

the sound quality is clean and high headroom, i.e. the filters don't saturate or add that extra character. Similar in tone (they might be the same filter chip/type but I haven't checked) is Atlas from Vostok Instruments (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYbXhZiVermfppIsi=CN4Kam3wXqIv4eIZ) which is 4 multi mode filters so with some clever sequencing you'd get similar results. Like most things in modular with multiple modules and patching you can get similar things. 3 filters, 3 VCAs and mixing alongside multiple channels of sequencing would allow you to patch this yourself.

[@joeymc5272]

@@DivKid thanks man i appreciate it. Does morpheus have anything in common with etna? I dont know etna is standing out for me more than any other filters i have heard.

[@DivKid]

No, there's little cross over really. The filters in Etna are clean, multimode filters, you might have that covered with other things. If it's just filtering & VCAs/mixers under more basic modulation then look elsewhere, if you're into the idea of snapshots and sequencing through them then that's where Etna really shines.

[@joeymc5272]

@@DivKid oh ok great. I am definitely interested in snapshot and sequencing filters. What you were doing in your demo is awesome. I also like clean filters. Not a huge fan of heavy saturation etc… keeping signal clean and true is my cup of tea. Thanks man. You always explain things thoroughly when i ask and i really appreciate that. most content creators don’t even respond to their subscribers questions. Need more out there like you!
