that was incredible, im lying here high as a kite surrounded by four speakers and this just sounds like heaven, them tinkling noises are insane, the richness and feel of this is perfect. thank you so much, im rambling stoned but i really mean all that lol

[@zekehayward7643]

You should listen with headphones on. You'd be surprised by how much you're missing. Enjoy!

What an amazing soundscape...

[@stateazure]

Thanks Omri!

[@medenine4828]

Incredible how much you’re getting out of these few modules, these are some of my favorites, amazing to hear them together so beautifully.

[@sonicaddiction]

This is so good! It's really inspiring to hear what you create with your modular setup!

[@jonesthestone]

Absolutely stunning, just what we need in these testing times, thank you.

[@zekehayward7643]

Awesome as usual! It's so interesting how those little boxes can make such beautiful music.

[@JAM-rp6fi]

I always come back to this video when I'm in the mood for some granular ambient vibes. It's a shame there aren't more Morphagene videos that actually use it to make ambient music. I often see a lot of tutorials, but a lot of the time they're using transients or short plucks to demonstrate how it works rather than using samples to create big sweeping pads and drones, which is what I think it really excels at. Thank you for being awesome! :)

Killer video. I get recommended your stuff frequently and have watched a few kind of in the background. This one really grabbed my attention and blew me away though!

[@mistergenerator5430]

So much from so little. Really impressive.

[@substan_music]

lovely piece !! .... what a great little ambient case.

[@giuseppemilazzo2649]

Even though it is only 10.43 mins long, I'd play it for few hours and I would notice the loop, simply because our senses perceive and emphasize or down pairing certain sounds morphically and ever-evolving and different each time listen to it. In other words, we "hear" different harmonies and sense resonances never in the same way as time pass. This is a gift from the musician's ability in playing with time and perfection.

[@PoohBearsReasonChannel]

Very tranquil and incredibly inspiring.. Loved it...

[@kaosmossound]

This is the most fascinating thing I've ever heard in my life 💫

I missed out on my first listen by wearing mediocre earbuds. Thankful I happened to play this piece again when paired with good speakers. Fantastic depth with such a seemingly simple setup. Thank you for sharing

[@souravkanr3996]

It's amazing just how with the turn of a button you could make such heavenly sounds... Omg.. 😍😍

[@dreamdealer]

absolutely masterful, so much sound with so little gear. Less is more.

[@SlowDescentToWild]

Marcos Carvalho totally agree

[@RobinSchuster]

"so little gear" - still four digits :D

[@dirtreverse]

Well if you use 2 samplers, you get a lot of sounds, depending on your samples. I think mainly the source samples are well chosen/created and matched here, and they fit well onto the possibilities of these modules. (and who knows how much gear and experimentation went into creating the samples?) I have the privilege to own both of these modules, and I can assure you, they won't easily sounds like this together.

[@bobschrei2029]

@@dirtreverse I also have multiple granular sources and I agree . Nothing I have done sounds like this! For me it demonstrate clearly that it is no the gear you have but the musicianship you bring to your instruments. Instruments don’t play themselves, even with so called generative music. You still set the parameters up beforehand.

[@mazzazza]

Beautiful

[@maxbennedbk7085]

this tickles mt brain 0w0 idk how you did it but making sounds like that just with the touch of a radial dile is amazing

[@Limbic1000]

well.. this is amazing... i love morph and now i will go for arbharrrrrr too..

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

So impressed with what you have done here SA that I immediately sold some of my 'no so sure about it' gear and ordered a Morphagene and a Arbhar. I've been thinking about them (and lots of other things) for a while as I chose my direction musically speaking with modular. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction with this wonderful and masterful display.

[@stateazure]

Thanks IP. Glad I could help with your decision making. I've had Morphagene pretty much since the very beginning of starting eurorack, I think a lot of my tracks would sound a bit empty without it. Arbhar compliments it very well.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Thank you SA glad to hear that the Morphagene is a good choice and the Arbhar compliments it. Still waiting for them to arrive but will be a great start to my proper modular journey.

[@MTLarsen1]

Amazing big sound with a little box 👍😊❤️🇩🇰

[@aeronemcq]

this is really inspiring to hear. i recently bought a small intellijel palette case and 4 modules to start with the intent on making ambient and generative music. i still thought id need at least a larger 8u case to get even close to what you normally do... apparently that isnt true at all. this is really beautiful!

[@stateazure]

Thank you! Some of my favourite tracks have been done in smaller cases, either with the Pico or my Intellijel 84hp. They tend to be rather heavily sample based though, which makes things easier. For generative you obviously need more supporting modules though, which I don't really have.

[@Audiorial]

I usually don't like such things, but this was mindpeacing !

Simply AMAZING ..... How beautiful is THAT ! You did what ive been dreaming of - two modules of perfection - in a desktop unit - thats how to do it - the ONE thing that , probably will do the trick - ...Get me into Modular - those 2 units are ... funny enough , my favorite, all i want also , is a Metropolis secq. an Empress ZOIA and Soma 23 and im good for cross pollenation with my o-coast, GrandMother Erebus etc. the Dtakt will handle secq. drum,N bass ,- (oh no ... here it comes ...the GAS... )

Epic. I find the Arbhar to be an incredibly "playable" module.

[@music4screens]

Absolutely wonderful textured piece with top modules. Nice to watch and listen to it. The output is line level or you connected it to something before your audio interface input? Thanks!

[@bystander85]

Beautiful! I would love to hear the raw samples you used so I can have an idea of how they were transformed by your patch and performance.

[@frakaelectrosonparis7819]

that will be great to ear this non polish stone...

[@syntheticpulse5291]

Fantastic, as all of your work that I've watched. Impressive how much ambience you can create just three (albeit it pretty mighty) modules. Do you mind filling us in on what the samples were that you used and a bit about how you prepped them?

[@stateazure]

Thanks! I don't remember exactly how I created the samples, just that I usually make them in the DAW with various synths, just from improvising then I send the finishes samples to these modules for manipulating.

[@thierrythierry1013]

This is exactly what I call ambient music and it's really rare to hear some with that level of quality ! Really beautiful ! This is exactly the kind of music that makes me want to go modular ! I have a question though and sorry if I sound naïve, but how is the module's audio input organized? Do you trigger samples from a controller or is it a track you've already made but transforme live through the modules? How many % are input samples and how many % are modules tweaking? I wish I could see what is going on beside the modules.

[@stateazure]

Sorry for the late reply. The samples are constantly playing, but I'm tweaking various parameters and moving through the waveform in a non-linear way, improvising. Both modules operate quite differently to how/what they're playing back. Without CV modulation or manual adjustments, just playing back normally it would still sound pretty decent, but you'd soon hear repeating and more static sound.

[@Wakeup382]

cutting edge sounds with no melody or beat is amazing how traditional music is compared to this art form which makes you feel. like a piece of art on a wall.....to the creator. Keep pushing the envelope

[@stateazure]

Thanks!

[@milztempelrowski9281]

Ok, next on the list is: making a song just using cables? xD Really neat example showing (off) just how much you can get out of granular synthesis. Good job. Now give me the arbhar, pls!

[@tomjepson2295]

So good; what a beautiful sound. Both modules are using pre-prepared samples?

[@Raku777]

Thanks for sharing. The composition sounds and feels spacious. Did the Pico case come with its own power supply?

[@stateazure]

Thanks, Raku. Yes it has built in power.

yess please tell us..!?

[@cameduke1]

Make Noise Morphagene es un sampler estéreo y un módulo de grabación y microsound para el Eurorack, que utiliza carretes, empalmes y genes para crear nuevos sonidos. Todos los parámetros se pueden controlar mediante CV. Los sonidos procesados, que pueden ser grabados en tiempo real o llamados como muestra desde una tarjeta SD, son en parte comparables a un eco de banda y tienen un carácter granular.

[@rustikinc63]

Can you give me the details to replicate that box ? Please thank you

[@relaxingelectronicmusic775]

cool.............

[@jerryrush892]

I love the title almost as much as the music. Very well done...what was the sound source?

[@stateazure]

Thanks! The Morphagene reel used was a 2:40 minute ambient piece that I created with various soft synths, Pigments, Omnisphere etc. With the Arbhar module I recorded some improvisations, again with soft synths.

[@racalik]

@@stateazure hi! did you aim for the ambient piece and the improvisation reel to be in the same, specific key? or how do you manage this to be so well aligned musically?

[@stateazure]

@@racalik Yeah, I record them both in the same key. Probably C Minor.

[@racalik]

@@stateazure great! thanks for the answer, much appreciated!

[@stateazure]

Erica Synths is who makes the small case that those three modules are sitting in. Those are the only things used here. Although the samples themselves were created in software first.

[@stefanhansen5882]

@@stateazure Ah! Samples! Of course! Thanks.

[@soupeauxchoux714]

some way to do ambient with samples. Bass, background, sounds ... is there a place for a melody or not?

[@stateazure]

Not really in this small set up, unless I bake the melody into the sample itself, but it will probably repeat too much.
