Exploring the Microcosm / When DFAM makes Glitch Techno!

[@digicat247]

I have been actually dying to see you do a video on the DFAM and techno. Do moooore. Thanks!

[@CoolnezzzSA]

Your techno from scratch videos inspire me to make music with my Digitakt, you're doing great things with the Microcosm. Thank you for sharing with us, Ihor!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you!

[@ynnn991]

Wow, I always thought the microcosm was kinda overrated. Now I know why everybody likes it that much. It's an absolute BEAST on kicks! You blew my mind. Keep it up!

[@bonvoyagemodularforms2363]

So happy to see you tweaking a DFAM! Hope to see more soon, integrated in your modular system why not! Thanks Ihor !++

[@luk4s81]

That ones amazing. Please more DFAM Content!!! I really love your chanel :)

[@IhorMedia]

Thanks! I think more DFAM will come ☺️

[@charlesbronson2806]

I second more dfam 🤪

[@beatsandbuttons]

Yeah the smell is great:p

[@kevinbatchelor9566]

Yes. More DFAM please. ❤️

[@sklandarok]

NICE! ... guy ... content ... to have u back, ihor U deserve that success, here on utube go on, dont change 🙏❤️

[@davidkinard4304]

Every time I plug in the microcosm I find something new. Thanks Ihor very inspiring! 😊

[@guymitson9057]

Awesome vid as ever Ihor! More DFAM for sure 👊

[@macognia82]

You inspired me to get the micro, can't wait to try it as well as put it trough the M32and my MS20. Cheers !

[@78thandSynth]

This consumed a few hours last night. Really helped me delve deeper into the MC. Thanks a lot for the work here.

[@ModePhaser]

Gotta love the microcosm! I really want that DFAM and a Mother 32 as well. Great video as always Ihor. 🤘💀

[@sr.rockefeller]

good Ihor I hope your channel grows massively so you keep doing awesome stuff.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! ✌️

[@SURCOlive]

Love it! Thanks as always for the great content!

[@flomoller6096]

I love the glitches, it sounds so organic

[@MilesKvndra]

Wow that is awesome my dude! I'm using the Microcosm way too little on percussive sounds - your results here are really cool.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you, my friend! I really like to use it with the kick drum! I think it’s just like magic!

[@Trovarsi]

Great video Ihor! Love the straightforward concept and sounds great!

[@IhorMedia]

Trovarsi! Thank you!

[@gatorgoforth3097]

DFAM into Microcosm into Roland TR8S. You can sync DFAM with trigger out from TR8S. You can sequence the trigger out, too, so you can get poly metrics with the DFAM sequencer! The Master FX on TR8S can also effect DFAM.

[@parristaylor]

Great showcase of the DFAM as an amazing piece of kit for the studio. I'm now also more convinced that the Microcosm has something of its own to offer above my Data Bender + reverb modular combo.

[@denardimusic]

Gracias Ihor, buena música y buena vibra de persona!

[@IhorMedia]

Gracias!

[@chrisbunchofflowersmusic]

Excellent performance. Like it a lot.

[@DionDeGennaro]

This is one of my favorite synth pairings! Techno monster duo

[@DionDeGennaro]

It also pairs really well with the Subharmonicon for techno basslines

[@IhorMedia]

Subharmonicon’s sequencer is a super powerful thing!

[@ashorii]

thanks for this. very intricate explanation. more pedal / drums pls :)

[@ZerHour]

Incredible content and sound 👍👍🎹

[@smalltown2223]

Love it!

[@iamYork_]

This is exactly what I needed… SOLD

[@fischergreen4134]

Nice video I have these but haven't paired them up yet. Going to give this a try

[@sanderzabicki]

Amazing stuff!

[@johndeluca-howard4442]

Great stuff.

[@pawsgerby]

as someone who's trying to take the plunge into physically performing techno, you've rly let the microcosm shine as performance powerhouse!

[@IhorMedia]

I like how you say physically perform techno.

[@pawsgerby]

@@IhorMedia lmao truth

[@R41sound]

Sound from another dimension...

[@a_w_young]

the DFAM and MOOG Studio 3-tier bundle was one of my first analog purchases (perhaps ill-advised by some, but I wanted those filters and analog sounds and it was a nice bundle), and I've been struggling to get the kick sounds I'd like (hard, techno-oriented) and think what I'll end up doing is getting a kick module and just using the dfam for weirdness which is what I've had most of my fun using it for. This is a fun video and def. shows what kind of things it can do when you stop thinking of it as a specific utility. I also like using the FM to make speech-like sounds.

[@smalltown2223]

Great combination of gear. I use the interrupt on the microcosm a lot. Don’t know a lot about modular but it doesn’t look like the type of thing that has a midi out to connect to the microcosm?

[@ftlaud911]

Nice!!! Loved example three. Been eyeing the Microcosm. It seems to have a mind of its own and doesn't stay exactly on the beat. Great suggestion about recording and then selecting the part to loop that is sync.

[@IhorMedia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mamakuproject]

Midi sync it

[@juliusway]

Ah this is great, expanded my ideas of how I can use this pedal. I picked one up a month ago while in a covid fever dream 😂 Been playing around with ambient guitar, nice to consider some other options 🎉

[@dillipphunbar7924]

shoulda jammed along with the maracca....kewl sounds

[@minorjoy-records]

More great content, I find your videos very inspirational even if I don't own the exact gear it gives me ideas for stuff I already own. Although I have been eying up both of these for a while. (The never-ending shopping list lol) Keep up the good work 👏.

[@IhorMedia]

Nice! Thanks for tour comment, my friend! This is exactly what I aim for! Sharing inspirational ideas!

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

The DFAM is an instant background / groove foley generator. Would love to get one someday.

[@drkakophanos3013]

25% way through and smash the like button...... journey, nah, ...trip, yay!

[@IhorMedia]

Nice!

[@pinkbuddha_samplepackreviews]

this is amazing!

[@charlesbronson2806]

The dfam is a monster!

[@IhorMedia]

It is!

[@reneheijt]

“And we can go into space, basically…” 👽

[@maxlangen2986]

From 05:10 i totaly beamed out

[@uberzone5836]

I bet this combo would be even better tempo synced.

[@IhorMedia]

I think tap tempo is fine for such occasions. It wouldn’t be much different if synced. Less headache though haha

[@axel_huth]

thanks

[@paulderbyshire6953]

18:33 ❤

[@synthced9536]

Fantastic 😍 amazing jams 👏👏👏 thanks Ihor. Please what is your headphone?

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! My headphones are DT 770

[@isaac.anthony]

i hope you made audio recording of all this that will be chopped up for making of song, much appreciate good sound design tutorial!

[@IhorMedia]

Thanks for kind words, Isaac! I was actually thinking to make those recordings available on my Patreon.

[@noartifacts1983]

Is DFAM into microcosm the new rings into clouds? Lol thank you for your videos! I was literally thinking of pairing DFAM with beads or even qu bit data bender. DFAM is absolutely a beast.

[@IhorMedia]

The new Rings into Clouds LOL 😂 I had a good laugh! Thank you my friend!

[@noartifacts1983]

@@IhorMedia hell yeah . Thanks for the videos!

[@davidchipman8730]

14:00 is 🤌

[@jerem680]

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE

[@patricketp8356]

Where did you buy the Microcosm? I can´t find a retail in EU.

[@IhorMedia]

I got mine when I was in the US. Not sure why there is no retail here in the EU

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

so the microcosm is basically a meris ottobit jr + reverb??

[@IhorMedia]

Never tried the ottobit jr! It is a bitcrusher, right?

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

@@IhorMedia It is a bitcrusher + analog filter + glitch/stutter sort of box. To me it seems like if you added a reverb unit with some weird modes on it after the Ottobit, it would basically be a Microcosm, or at least very similar.

[@IhorMedia]

@@VincentsVideoVisions Good to know! I also really like how Ottobit looks like!

[@creatingspacesproducer]

Very inspiring again, true master! Do you think you could achieve same result with a bigsky? Before i empty my bank account again to get a microcosm :)

[@IhorMedia]

I've never tried the Big Sky! Damn how hard I want to get it every time people mention it 🤣 Thank you for kind words!

[@creatingspacesproducer]

@@IhorMedia shit dude, sorry, it's awesome :D

[@martintaylor9205]

Hi Ihor my friend very interesting although I could not afford either of these as all my cash goes on Modules for Eurorack but might be a further Vidio hitching up Pallette case with this, maybe Digitakt as well , sample Dfam into then slice up process , Sequence?????? As I’ve said before like to see you put case together for Live sets, two of my favourite Vids u have doneCLEP one and the INSIST one combining the two in one case???? 👍🆒🌟🌟🎶🎶🎶🔱🇬🇧🕸⚡️👁😎👽

[@IhorMedia]

My Palette is getting ready for the next video! For the live gig I am thinking to get the 7U Performance case. And lots modules… which is a bit challenging. You know the price haha

[@martintaylor9205]

@@IhorMedia yes GAS is extortionant and it dosnt help with so many new modules released before we’ve learnt ones we got it’s perpetual, like new NE Polydactyl so beat goes on for must haves 😃 Have good weekend, await next instalment 🆒👍🎶🎶🎶👁

[@Bronwyn031]

My problem with the Microcosm is that it will just go off and do its own thing. Instead of complimenting you playing it, it will hijack the performance.

[@IhorMedia]

I can definitely see that happening! And that's true for most of the presets, I guess. However when you clock it, it does a good job! Presets like Pattern, Seq or even a bit of Interrupt should be great for performing. But that is in theory :) I should do more live performances to learn what works and what doesn't.

ihor the trip advisor, can i get a taxi number ber ber
