I love using pigment's sequencer via hermod and it's easy to save them but this module does look good as a standalone, can you load sequences into it from a computer ?
@rolandsreiters19376 ай бұрын
Three years ago, I got into modular synth because of the Metropolix. I created some super funky jams with it. I sold it a year ago to do sequencing with the Octatrack, but that didn't work out. Now I'm using the Oxi One and getting the best of both worlds, but I still miss the Metropolix :)

The hapax seems a beast too. I am not playing live so I cant justify any purchase, really, but these machines seems capable.
@OoraMusic6 ай бұрын
definitely oxi is a beast ( in fact is my main sequencer) but metropolix has something unique for sure!

I love my Metropolix. At the beginning I was getting stuck in a loop too much but as a spend more time with it such a great tool for evolving Melodie’s and harmony. Aeolian is my favourite scale so great to see it in work with this. ❤

A nice video. Metropolix has also been on my wish list since its release. I really like your channel. I was also pleased again, or rather I got confirmation of my interest in Metropolix, because you show exactly the functions that Metropolix essentially offers for my "theoretically envisaged application" as an essential unique selling point of this module, which ensured that it was very high on my wish list. As I can now pleasantly see and hear, very justified 🥰

I know metropolix is more playable, and more fun in ways but i just cant believe people don’t suck it up and go with hermod+ for in rack sequencers. 8 midi tracks, 8 cv tracks, can record cv, on board fx, quantizers, euclidean, random, lfos, etc… it offers so much and if you play with it for a bit it gets easy. My 2 centz
@mamakuproject6 ай бұрын
the more sequencers the merrier
@OoraMusic6 ай бұрын
I think each sequencer has some strength. For example I end up with very different things using the metropolix instead of oxi or t1. Obviously I am privileged having multiple ones.
@joeymc52726 ай бұрын
@@OoraMusicagreed. I like metropolix. Like i said very playable and one of the easiest sequencers to me to come up with musical melodies and not just noise. One of its biggest strengths to me. The one thing i know i want but still haven’t decided if i will use it on the regular is your vermona. Seems like everything that comes out of that thing screams dreamy melodies. I know you use it a lot so i assume its a big piece in your workflow. Is i the sound that keeps you using the hell out of it?

If you go Hermod, you might as well go NerdSeq and not deal with the weird limitations the Hermod has.
@cp99music5 ай бұрын
I had a Hermod at first for the same reasons you mentioned. Building sequences on it was just not engaging enough and I felt like I was fighting with the menus just to get the sequences I wanted. Sometimes simple is just what you need imo.

@@OoraMusic grazie mille!, Io habito a Torino. I think, the metropolix can be a good partner to use with the o coast, but maybe, I´ll go for the o-ctrl. Thank for your time.

I've heard the midi in is only for changing its internal params but you cannot really use it as slave to another machine, is this true? aka, the metropolix is either the master of your whole setup or nothing
@OoraMusic6 ай бұрын
I need to check on that
@intellijel6 ай бұрын
Not true. MIDI IN can definitely be used as the CLK and transport inputs to Metropolix. You can sync to your DAW or whatever other gear is the main MIDI control source. The intellijel YT page has an example video of this where Metropolix is synced to Ableton Live (which plays drums) and then the output of Metropollix goes to an OB-6 and a Cascadia via midi.

No my friend, I said is one of my favorite> I use Oxi daily, metropolis is on my desk sequencing a lot of the modular stuff. Then I use Torso T1 and the elektrons. those are my choices!
