Patches for Eurorack Utilities // with the MMx2 Matrix-able Mixer by AtoVproject

[@wavexpander]

Mixing gates for melodies is a great idea. Can’t believe I haven’t thought of this before. Having just ordered a bugbrand matrix mixer, you bring the excitement to the next level! 😁

[@DivKid]

ah nice! I've really enjoyed the Bugbrand format anytime I've used it. With multiple outs on a matrix mixer you could use the same gate inputs to define multiple melodies and counter melodies. All related, all moving in different intervals.

[@solonganyway]

Subbed for your bugbrand!

[@wavexpander]

@@solonganyway Cheers!

[@chromosundrift]

Yeah mixing divided gates! Makes me wonder how well I could live improvise arps this way.

[@GeorgeLocke]

ADC like Drezno is a great source of gates for this type of application.

[@MPCmanNL]

I wish more manufacturers would give you jumper connectors on the back like this to provide normalled connections. I would normal osc outs to a mixer, mixer to filter input, etc.

[@DivKid]

the ability to make a semi modular out of anything. Nice idea for quick playing of a default state/patch.

[@wishbonebrewery]

Really liking that Plucked filter sound, it reminds me of some 90's Techno.

[@DivKid]

definitely happy to reference some 90s techno sonically at least. I'd have to watch this back to remember it though.

[@wishbonebrewery]

@@DivKid It was in this bit with some reverb on it 07:11 Adding FX sends to basic audio mixing. And my attempt kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXK5p4KtjLqImcU I found that you need a good trigger for best effect, and the ADDAC Quad Gate to Trig makes them nice and precise. Though reminded me of this banger kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJjRZoqAasici6M I'd been wondering how to create a Plucked String-like Pizz for ages and never thought to use a pinged filter.

[@DivKid]

ah yeah that's a good clean filter ping type thing. Yeah the input trigger makes a big difference. You can try using samples of different things too to change the the sound. Short clicks and various short percussive blips etc. Nice example in your patch and I get the sound you're going for now. The pizzicato string sample thing. I'd never really thought of filter pings and that sound much. But pretty interchangeable now I listen to them side by side.

Really cool idea... I will be stealing this for my DIY setup :). It always sucks to order a minimum of 5 PCBs when you realistically only need one or two of a given module, but this is the perfect solution... Make 4 or 5 small modules that combine into the one that you want. Not to mention the increased flexibility this approach adds.

[@DivKid]

YeahI love the expandable modular take on this. I could easily see the expansion being that you have one at the end of each row connecting up or down to the next.

[@chromosundrift]

This is a great insight. Is it just me or is ganging several same modules a growing trend? Stereo strip is a perfect example.

[@atovproject]

Hard sync! Thanks a lot for yet another great video!

[@DivKid]

a pleasure, thanks for the nice modules!

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Interesting, and worth stealing… Pam’s will supply anything up to eight variable gates to mix for rhythmic and melodic enjoyment, and I have a Klavis Mixwitch doing not a lot. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@DivKid]

I was using Pam's outputs for the gates in that patch. You could set the levels o the outputs on Pam's and mix them in a unity mixer even.

[@darksparklermusic]

Super cool module!

[@DivKid]

cheers dear!

[@stromwerk742]

dropping hard sync. as always - fantastic video! nice idea to mix gates for creating melodies

[@DivKid]

thank you, appreciate it.

[@chromosundrift]

LOVE these utility vids. My 4ms VCA Matrix is still a partial mystery beyond simple VCA and mixing. What wonders could you reveal with this type of utility?

[@DivKid]

the VCA Matrix is one of those that for nearly 10 years I've sort of got close to buying and never did. I'd definitely like one, lots of potential for a range of patches.

[@chromosundrift]

@@DivKid would a few flexible VCAs together replicate its features?

[@DivKid]

A 4x4 matrix is 16 level controls and points of routing and mixing. So you'd need 16 VCAs. You would split each of your 4 signals 4 times to get into 4 separate quad VCAs. Then the output of the 4 quad VCAs are the matrix outs. Doable but not practical.

[@robertmcmurry5489]

Hard Sync Drop!!

[@DivKid]

thanks Robert!

[@reecedeyoung6595]

Looks very similar to the befaco mixer

[@DivKid]

and other 4HP small mixers.
