Filthy Nirvana with Knobula Kickain and Vult Freak

A filthy look at two fun modules.
The Knobula Kickain is a kick drum module with reverb and stereo spectral sidechaining.
The Vult Freak is a super multi-mode filter with a TON of awesome filter models.
We'll give them both a nasty workout with our good friend, the Modbap Osiris wavetable oscillator.

30 minutes of acid bass and interesting commentary. How can I complain?

[@LightBranches]

Brutal. My earwax has become sentient and sends warm regards.

[@justinsincl]

My fav RMR videos are when Jeremy is having so much fun he almost loses his mind. 😍

[@estes_was_here]

this is disgusting the sounds you're able to crank out of this little set up, oml beautiful noises im in love

[@brunsomarrr]

18:00 I didn't know I needed modular synths in my life. Now I do.

[@iamsushi1056]

I was just expecting a raw sounds and filter sweep sort of demo-why that was all I was expecting from the madlad Mr. Blake is beyond me in retrospect-but when that sweep turned into a drop I was sold.

[@7177YT]

Leonardo & Vult deserve to be featured. Math PhD working for Wolfram goes rogue, starts writing modules for vcv rack and ends up building his plugins in hardware. You gotta support that. (;

[@stevebaker2896]

Absolutely. Incidentally, he also codes these in his own custom programming language...

[@ndf3]

Hell yes

[@CatFish107]

Oh, nice to get some backstory. I use caudal all the time.

[@seth.graham]

Had to smile every time you cranked a new filter up. That little guy makes some amazing sounds.

[@Logarithmmusicofficial]

Holy shit I listened to this on my casual morning walk with my one year old. She probably thought we were off roading

[@calderwood9641]

This was fun.

[@pamdemonia]

So nice to see loving a filter in hardware that I've been in love with for years in software! Vult was the first set of modules I actually paid for, around vcv rack 0.6, mainly to support his amazing work, and the wonderful nastiness they produce.

[@lycosa2000]

I don't normally comment on videos, but I just have to say a couple things. 1) I love your videos. Your demos of gear are the best around. Your videos are always musical and interesting and never feel like they're droning on. Even this, which is pretty repetitive, still stays interesting and doesn't get old. That's pretty unique in the KZbin gear demo environment. Having said that, I also hate your videos because you'll blow my mind with a demo - and then the mad rush ensues to buy the gear.... and it keeps being sold out when I go to get it. If your Patreon gives inside access to videos before they hit KZbin, count me in. 2) This is just friendly advice from somebody you totally don't know and my opinion is pretty irrelevant to your personal life. But!!! I truly hope these companies are paying you well. You are certainly lining their pockets. I realize the integrity of 'keeping it real', but man I think you're big enough in this scene that you should be free to speak your mind... they should take it or leave it. Maybe it's just coincidence, but every time you demo something it's out of stock within days (I don't think it's coincidence). From one human being observing another human being from a different perspective... I just hope you know your worth to the community. And I hope the Vult Freak comes back in stock before I die. If anyone has one to trade, I have a bunch of Ramen I'll gladly trade for the Freak. Not the cheap stuff either. We're talking "Top Ramen", chicken flavor. ✌❤😄

[@RedMeansRecording]

Thanks for the kind words. Sometimes I get paid for videos. If I do it will mark them as sponsored and you'll see that as a pop up. Other times I make videos because I love the thing and want to show it off.

[@egorpanfilov]

Wow!! These guys sound sooo good! Great demo, Jeremy!

[@chridmeister]

I feel very fortunate to own a Vult Freak and this video makes me appreciate it even more

[@silofuse]

Love the filter expose. I use two Vermona Filter Lancets so I can run stuff in stereo. I am not yet a MODHEAD. Thanks again for taking the time to make this video - I learned a ton!

[@jacobhanson606]

the vult rescomb module in VCVrack is so sick. I wish there was a pam's module so i could build your IRL patches along with you. Forever inspired watching your videos.

[@NicStage]

The Vult filters are so nice.

[@NicRowManSir]

Looks and sounds wildly fun

[@jokeairmontpelliercity]

Merci beaucoup pour cette belle démonstration !!!

[@AdamAlpaca]

Your channel makes me buy modules 😭

[@timk8021]

I've been waiting for the Vult Freak for so long.

[@JustinKimball]

Good lord the freak sounds amazing

[@gelatinous6915]

YOOOOOO he's vinally been converterd to the Vult side. I've used vult filters in VCV for years and years now, if I can ever afford eurorack Freak is on the top of my list

[@untilitsgoodagain]

Great sounding filter. Reminds me of the Freqbox moogerfooger at times. Cool vid!

[@friendlypartytown]

The Freaks have been hard to find lately, but I think I finally got my hands on one. Thanks for showcasing. 💪

[@jchrispy3621]

Awesome

[@medusajapan]

Awesome!

[@ArchieFunker]

I bought two Freaks so I could run one as a Vraids, but I might have to switch it back so I have two Freaks to modulate.

[@solarnights4931]

18:02 Quote of the year.

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Damn this looks like a lot of fun. I’m about to pickup a Korg Volca Drum because that’s all I can afford right now haha. I find synths, drum machines and sequencing so entertaining.

[@CoolBreez69]

A little over 10 minutes and I feel like I am listening to some unpublished Nitzer Ebb music from the 80's-90's. LOVE IT!!!! WAY-COOL! I HOPE YOU PUT THIS PIECE OUT FOR PURCHASE!!!! Because I will buy it! 🤩😍🤟🏼👍🏼💙💙💙💙

[@katelikesrectangles]

oh damn this filter sounds sweet

[@benholmes4154]

Thanks

[@AgonalRhythm]

Here's hoping Vult can manufacture some more of those monstrous filters 🙏

[@masonarcher2998]

Seriously, I’ve been looking for one for awhile now and have kind of accepted I’ll be lucky if I ever have a chance to buy one. Assuming society doesn’t collapse of course. Lol.

[@AgonalRhythm]

@@masonarcher2998 what a vibe

[@masonarcher2998]

@@AgonalRhythm Caught me on an off day, happy wiggling!

[@exquisiteoath]

This was great. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Some very nice music to F to along the way. :)

[@LoudPaul1]

Bless you for adding those Ableton drums in post

[@RedMeansRecording]

It really helped :)

[@Ariakiri_]

Thank you Jeremy. Holy shit, the Freak is exactly the kind of filter I want. Multiple modes, and SO much character and fun. I'm sold, now I just need to find one, haha. Also your demo was AMAZING, and in such a small package. I've been extremely resistant to buying a Pam's because I've been worried that the workflow of it won't suit me. I'm hands-on, and I worry that it being super menu-divey will kill inspiration for me; but maybe I'm being too harsh on it without actually sitting down with it and learning it. I've been struggling to feel inspired with eurorack, and I'm trying to figure out why before I sink thousands of dollars into a system. Here's to hoping I'm not going crazy, lmao.

[@masonarcher2998]

Yeah, good luck ever finding one! The only other thing that’s pretty close as far as functionality is the Industrial Music Electronics Bionic Lester, which is only slightly less hard to find and certainly more expensive.

[@el_dani]

ah filters, I‘ve got too many in my rack but might need to get on the notification list 🙈

[@EarthnikNews]

It was fun for me.

[@AndrewPRoberts]

I want a Kickain SOOO badly

[@CatFish107]

Awe, I have to get some headphones on for this one. My phone speaker sounds like dogsnot. No bass, only click, and Jeremy speaking.

[@Yoah777]

That is awesome...I want to put Lyrics to that!!!

[@masonarcher2998]

You must have had a Vult Freak already, I don’t think I’ve seen one for sale in the wild for a long time now. It’s too bad too because it sounds like a lot of folks would like to get one (myself included). Great vid as usual, thanks Jeremy.

[@kalmarnagyandras]

My face hurts from the constant stankface during the freaky bits

[@zachstarr2543]

Freak filter is niceeee 🤪

[@popwa6977]

GOOD JOB 😋

[@guysmiley7289]

You made it sing.

[@ta6te]

Please make a full techno mix using this...

[@TheNimasan]

freak is absolutely nasty.... i dream about this filter almost every night....but it's impossible to get. at leat i can't get one… great vide, jeremy!!

[@blackprophesy]

That cat was enjoying that nastiness 🐱

[@zhexum]

I never truly understood the importance of filters until this! Bummed this sucker is out of stock. Curse you semiconductor shortage!

[@Makebelieve123]

Looooove !! What’s that small gizmo module on the left going into Freak ? Great bud mate

[@zauwee]

Great work, Jeremy. As usual. Hey, anyone, what’s that oscilloscope on the top right? Looks nifty and useful.

[@unkeneke]

Love the result of this in such a small size, the Freak is an amazing module! I have also been trying to figure out where the snares, hihats , reverse hihat and claps are coming from, are all of those coming from Osiris and triggered by Arpitecht?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Ableton

[@isaacanthonydj4124]

Master class in Side Chain! I tell Roland software devs to pay attn, as Zenbeats DAW does not have side chain feature, and they expect electronic musicians to use it... LoL

[@isaacanthonydj4124]

if they can implement everything you describe, steps in the right direction!

[@brunsomarrr]

Alright I don't know how all this works so I have to ask: is the only thing generating a waveform the kickain on the right? It's just generating a kick, then the Osiris and the Freak alter it? And that makes all this nuttiness we're hearing? 😳 (Except for the added drums in Ableton)

[@jimspectre]

Vult is straight up G, been ogling Freak for a year

[@parristaylor]

Outro jam full track pleeeaz

[@Roydonovan38]

All your mix and the snare enter in knobula sidechain ? What is your snare ? Sorry if the answer was said in the video. I had trouble translating everything sometimes Thanks ! For all your job 🥰

[@RedMeansRecording]

The top loops are from Ableton added after recording

[@NickVu]

What brand are those pastel patch cables?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Hosa

[@Tw0Sevenths]

What's that little scope on the right? I love how small it is

[@blackprophesy]

KORG NTS2

[@Guilhermemezari]

Where can find a "day 1" modules class....it's all so cool but I don't understad anything 😕

[@RedMeansRecording]

I do lessons ;)

[@tyroneshoelacez3498]

What’s your fav filter for Ambient stuff?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Depends. A very nice stereo one is zagerzeb by xoac

[@JonnyPez]

Does anyone know where you can find the FREAK for sale?

[@RedMeansRecording]

It's severely unavailable right now

[@snoogllies]

aww yiss, where the heck can u even get that freak?

[@RedMeansRecording]

I wish I knew :(

[@etainafuzz]

I've wanted the Vult for a while but unfortunately it is unavailable until the microprocessors become available again. 😞If someone knows of a source with stock please let me know!

[@stevebaker2896]

I'm not sure there is any source other than from Vult/Leonardo himself. There will be more at some point.

[@CNTRRNDM]

😮😮😮

[@isaiahhudson5470]

Are the 808’s really that deep sounding?

[@RedMeansRecording]

They're almost pure sine wave with a click at the start and a slight pitch drop

[@Kaleil]

oh yeah, yeah.. those modules are cool and all, but ID those cable ties for me real quick?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Amazon Velcro ties

[@dillipphunbar7924]

Bangin'! dirty, grimey, crunchy, gnarly, squelchy, belchy, ...just bonkers! sadly, out of stock = (

[@RedMeansRecording]

I know :(

[@NullFX]

I miss Papa Franku 😢

[@global-sequence]

I saw the preview and got excited that it was a new filthy frank vid

[@majicboxstudios3996]

Put a gate on that reverb. Problem solved :-)

[@idantion]

Kind of a weird suggestion : I was thinking that your voice talking over the introduction, as shown in the video, is very clear and highly projective, which is usually great. but in this case I wish that your speaking voice over was a tiny les bright so I could really focus on the device you're showing without your voice being so sparkly in the mix. cheers (Watched on a good phone)

[@symbiat0]

As has become normal these days, you can’t buy half these modules… 😞

[@RedMeansRecording]

Ugh I know :(
