Exploring the crazy world of CHIPZ!

[@TheUnperson]

Apologies for the wobbly camera in the beginning! Unbeknownst to me, my chair was rubbing against the boom stand.

[@thebigb3ard]

I've come straight to the comments to complain. I was all dizzy. How dare you.

[@richarquis]

You have a real knack for finding the sounds that others don't. That's why I keep coming back to this channel.

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! I appreciate it :D

[@obsidiananvil9719]

Undoubtedly the best walk-through/play-around of this module I've seen. The electro-munchkin choral group @16+ was really entertaining.

[@TheUnperson]

haha thank you! Can't beat the electro-munchkin choral group!

[@freddiefranklin1]

Wow some really impressive sounds you got out of this module. I think both Chipz and Cellz from the nifty bundle are massively underrated. I got the Nifty bundle recently and after a bit of playing around, I'm really happy with it. I don't have any modular FX yet, but sent Chipz into Valhalla Supermassive and it sounded amazing! Thanks for the videos dude. Really enjoying them

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers man! I haven't even tried Cellz yet! I keep meaning to give it a go..anything into Supermassive sounds amazing to be fair lol

[@312dasbkilla]

Best demo of that module I’ve seen. I just got the nifty bundle along with some other modules I bought separately. Just waiting for the other modules to come in

[@0z33y]

Great demo of chipz , my create bundle should arrive this week , can not wait to play around with it lol ….

[@digicat247]

This module. I just couldn't stand it and I couldn't sell it. It sat around for the last year. Then you do this video and it really just highlights that time and learning is everything with eurorack. This video is wild man.

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers man! Did you go back for another shot? :)

[@digicat247]

@@TheUnperson yes and working on learning it better than I did before!

[@magnopere]

yessss another Chipz lover! This module is way too underrated. Glad you made this video! hopefully it inspires others who certainly own this and don't utilize it

[@TheUnperson]

It really is underrated - especially at that price point!

[@SHABBA-OVERLOAD]

It's garbage

[@jodo985]

Now I’m new to the whole eurorack scene but I think “ listen to that noise” is not the best endorsement😂. You managed to make this module sound cool. Btw, your videos are really good and I appreciate them.

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! You really must be new to the eurorack scene - you're gonna hear "listen to that noise" quite often! :P

[@sstrudeau]

So lovely. By far the best demo I've seen of this module and you didn't even use the internal LFO (I'm wondering if it could have subbed in for Maths on the drone or funky sequences patches?)

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! yea I should have used it in the droney patch - just so used to using maths lol :)

[@32bitflow]

This is the best modular synth channel !!! You are most likely the reason I am going to order a NiftyCase to pair with my minibrute 2s and dive deeper into modular, although I see you got rid of yours(?) in the newest videos, but you certainly was able to squeeze a better sound out of it than anybody else. Thanks for your videos

[@TheUnperson]

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the vids! I did inevitably upgrade to a bigger case ~ it happens to us all lol

[@32bitflow]

Lmao, what kind of rabbit hole am I getting into? 😂

[@niknice1646]

I’m curious- why are you using that Behringer PSU instead of the built in one? Love the vid, Chipz is life:)

[@FursAndMasksMusic]

Lovely stuff man. I can see ppl digging out their Chips for a proper go on it.

[@jonnymartin6177]

Yup. Just about to do just that.

[@TheUnperson]

It's kinda what I did too. I dug it out to have a proper go :)

[@variousdispositions]

Nice! Really enjoyed the noise!

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! :D

[@777Thomas]

I am made up to see this. I am hoping to very soon see Chipz and Cellz incorporated into my system. I love you vids in general, you sound majorly chilled out. I was drawn to the Chipz module because I wanted a dirty sound, and a synth you wouldn't take home to you mother 😀

[@TheUnperson]

haha! It definitely is too dirty for mums haha!

[@manstuarta9066]

This is one of my favourites you tube channels.

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you!! :))

[@frankhumphries1927]

Ambient with chips! Yes

[@yeahright73]

I'd been on the fence for a while, but finally ordered a NiftyBundle. I've seen a lot of videos that really make Chipz & Cellz look pretty meh, but I figured any oscillator and sequencer at that price would serve a purpose at least until I budgeted for something better like the Behringer 110, 140 and 182. Your video, however, highlights the idea that Chipz can actually make some pretty useful sounds! How long Chipz & Cellz will stay in the case after I start accumulating other modules remains to be seen, of course...

[@TheDavidPoole]

Sounds lovely - gives a kind of 1960s-70s computer vibe with all the glitchy, unintentional sounds and the addition of a spring reverb and tape echo and the ratcheting. Makes me think of the Michael Caine spy thriller "The Billion Dollar Brain". Nice demonstration and again, I really like yer patches! Did you investigate John Foxx by the way? Cheers Un!

[@TheUnperson]

Thanks man ~ it’s really an underrated wee module in my opinion! I did indeed check out John Foxx - great musician and I’m diving into the Ultravox back catalogue too! :D

[@mpstrgc112]

9 minutes sounds sooo good.

[@TheUnperson]

Thanks!!

[@mpstrgc112]

Actually just bought chips for 40 bucks. That’s the real beauty of it.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

By the way your video is what convince me to get rings oh it’s so beautiful

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers man! Very glad you're enjoying it!!

[@thebigb3ard]

4:13 intro to my new industrial metal track

[@TheUnperson]

Make it happen man!!

[@stereotypegoham]

Thanks for doing a video on Chipz! Can you do one for Cellz in the future?

[@TheUnperson]

Yea good idea - I still haven't actually used it yet so will give it a spin!

[@grunkgrunk]

What is the harmonizer algorithm for the FX Aid called? It sounds great!

[@Slamagotchi]

Have you taped in the FX aid instead of screwing it in haha? the problems with a small case I guess!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

I sold cellz. Bought marbles. But cellz is good. For sure. Now I’m a rings guy and plaits as well. I have the same case also and I have to say I kept chips because of its raw analog waveforms and lfo it’s nice to have that kind of oscillator in your rack and I think this module is very much over looked

[@TheUnperson]

Definitely - i think a lot of people overlook Chipz because it's so cheap but I love it!

[@apparently_sonam]

Glasgow’s own Mylar melodies… Ace!

[@TheUnperson]

haha i'll take it!! :)

[@piewars12345]

man I loved my chipz and it randomly just stopped working one day. Sad times for sure 😩

[@sstrudeau]

Good news! These are easy to find and cheap used.

[@TheUnperson]

Oh no! Really hate when that happens!

[@johntbd]

Thanks. I’ll give chips another try.

[@TheUnperson]

Hope you had some sonic adventures! :)

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Chipz into clouds for reverb. How about that sound

[@SHABBA-OVERLOAD]

Like smearing poop in the sky

[@planetplex]

So so good!!!

[@outaspaceman]

Works well with PO20 Arcade…👍

[@TheUnperson]

Great idea... i really gotta pick up a PO soon!

[@outaspaceman]

@@TheUnperson check out the LPZW kit that mounts PO’s in a modular.. Thonk have’em.. All I need now is a SID chip..

[@Dogboy73]

Never taken any notice of this module before. Now I want one 👍

[@stupidnamegenerator]

Great vid! The keytracking on this chipz is much better then mine with the same arturia controller. Anyone have any tips?
