Eurorack Techniques: Chords with Modular

In this video resident expert Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) shares with us a few techniques for making and controlling chords in a eurorack system. Chords in eurorack can be complex and difficult to control, luckily there is stepped voltage and quantizers to help reign in control over our chordal melodies. This video features WMD Metron, WMD Arpitecht, WMD Triad, WMD Voltera, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Acid Rain Technologies Chainsaw, WMD C4RBN, WMD Performance Mixer, and the Blue Lantern Simple ADSR.

Very good video, easy to listen to voice, wonderful camera work. Thank you!

This was a nice watch and I really liked that sequence at the end. I didn't know there were modules that handled chords in this way... I thought if you wanted chords you had to just buy 3+ of your favorite VCO and some kind of module that assigns out the first, second, and third note presses as needed. But this other method seems way less expensive, lol.

"...me, I want it to sound complex" → pans over module called "Simple" 😂

Nice - thanks for this. Nice use of the Chainsaw at the end.

[@exnihilodub]

thanks for the info! it helped me tremendously. here's just a nitpicky, friendly and constructive criticism from me: as an audiophile, I hate it when the microphones and other parameters set in such a way that I can hear the saliva and tongue movements inside the speaker's mouth (1:06 - 1:10).

Great video! Regarding the different routes of patching, it makes even more sense why people love stackable cables so much!

[@whereisboo]

Great video and learned a lot. It would be awesome if we could have a little more description. I am not familiar with each of the modules, so a little more info about why and what you're doing would go a long way. Cheers.

[@chiefthomson]

cool demonstration, currently working on something similar... except that I'm more going for 9th/11th chords to give it a little twist. some good ideas I will use here. thanks

[@CWealthMusic]

Nice! I did a similar video using the Instruo Harmonàig, chainsaw and plaits. Didn't show plaits chord mode tho. Maybe I should try to get some 5 or 6 note chords 🤔

[@galenbaby]

Thank you so much for making this. Sounds amazing and it seems like you have great flexibility and control. Do you have any opinions on Chord V2 with external sequencing as a more affordable alternative? Or the Keystep Pro with the chainsaw or Chord V2 to control each voice independently?

Hi, how is it that you guys haven't made a video combining the WMD Metron with the Rossum Assimil8or? Wouldn't that make for a complete techno groovebox in a tiny footprint?

[@PatchwerksSeattle]

That is a good question!
