Friday Fun - Synth Jam Korg Minilogue and Mutable Instruments Clouds

[@dankro279]

You're not old, Nick. You're vintage!!! And. I'm saying this with the deepest admiration!!

[@koalemos1679]

I just wanna say, I wanna hear your out-of-date old man beats.

[@Alkatross]

Robert Humphrey I just want to know what an "old man" beat sounds like. Dude, that beat was hella grumpy! And sick!

[@ConwayBob]

Being an out-of-date old man, I can tell you that we consider ourselves amazingly fortunate just to get reasonably steady beats in the cardiac musculature.

[@DRZADV]

sad @@ConwayBob

[@ConwayBob]

@@DRZADV -- Just kidding. My heart's fine. ♥️

[@yodhanhunter]

Yes please. What once was old is new again. You might become he new got beat maker

[@Digiphex]

Clouds is available as a free VST for those with . no modular.

[@bedlegs]

@Chris Lindsay It looks amazing to me! Price is is pretty high but I think worth it. Im not able to spend the money atm. To me it seems like a hardware version of Ableton's Granulator which I am in love with.

[@umonox]

i really like how you freeze the machines and then play along whats there. its obvious that Clouds delivers for this (thanks to its dedicated freeze button), but you did similar things in other videos too and i really like this approach! its such a really nice way to make so much out of just so little. dont fear youre out-of-date Nick! you were voted the top-most influencer of MusicRadars Poll in 2017 for a reason. you entertain us, you educate us - and you show your skills in music technology pretty much everytime you put your fingers on any machine that you have on the table. and lets not forget: you explain stuff in a way that we all can follow along - novice and professional alike! not everyone can do this. be proud of your talent and your skills! you are an established person here on KZbin. never forget this ;-)

[@MicaelAzevedo]

Man you are amazing also! Beautiful words Over there.

[@solaryzer]

I say YES to "not very current " beats !! The Minilogue and Mutable Instruments Clouds sounded great .

[@meneerjansen00]

I love those vids where you noodle w/ synths. Soooooooo much better than talking 'bout it in a podcast for an hour. :-)

Damn nice Nick, and now you know we all want to hear a friday fun session full of your beats, c'mom do that for us!

[@mmhcreates]

3:24 wicked mate. Sounds lovely. Take me to the clouds.

[@WxkR]

Old or new it does not matter when it is enjoyable!

[@Alkatross]

Need more minilouge videos. That thing sounds sweet

[@robertsyrett1992]

minilogue = future classic

[@sholz124]

i felt this way when I bought it. Loved it ever since. My first real synth!

[@locksh]

Just thought about this today. I own this synth for a couple years now I think? And I just realized it really is the jack of all trades, especially for a first synth.

[@WillieG1016]

I sold my og and miss it so much that I’m looking at an xd. It really is an instant classic

[@mikeexits]

@@sholz124 Me too :) It's got a great cold-yet-warm sound pallete.

[@subfifth]

Goodness gracious are these lovely sounds. Thank you for sharing, sir!

[@earthman_]

One of the best „MI Clouds“ performance so far!!

[@TannithVQ]

Full of fulsome flavours. Nice to see those beauties in action.

[@shavemymind]

Hi Nick, An ambient album please! Many Thanks Everyone xx

[@ZElTGElST]

Plus 500

[@Bendy2K]

Yes! A thousand times yes! I literally came here to post this!

[@env4n3]

this is exactly how ive been using vcvrack with my minilogue , ill get you one day eurorack! one day!

[@mikeexits]

Have you gotten into it yet? I'm looking at the Cre8Audio Nifty Case bundle right now.

[@env4n3]

@@mikeexits 2 years and 2 rackbrutes later xD

[@Superlover]

so rich, so vibey sounding. absolute sound heaven!

[@jtanafreq]

Well you sure sold me on Clouds. I think it and my A4 mk1 would play real nice together. Thanks, Nick!

[@BosseCory]

Jeff Santana plus you should be able to send CV out of your A4, so you can control parameters on Clouds. Opens up a lot of possibilities that way!

[@Broomfondle]

Feels like I'm floating on Fulsome Clouds, very dreamy. Thanks Nick.

[@richardkimmel6823]

WE WANT BATT BEATS *clap clap clapclapclap

[@xorthontech]

Don't you need a pedal/guitar or instrument module to change the audio signal coming out of the minilogue before you patch it to clouds? To change the signal to a suitable eurorack signal?

[@jadeone]

i believe clouds has an input vca, monsoon/typhoon give you further control😊

[@jasonschmusic]

I recently got my hands on a DIY mutable clouds with parasites installed and tried plugging my korg minilogue into it like on this video but didn’t have the same results. It seems there is not enough gain coming from the minilogue to be loud enough for clouds plus I am guessing the output also needs to be at a correct level to make it usable. How did you have this hooked up? I would greatly appreciate some guidance on this as I really enjoyed the sounds you made with this setup and I would love to know how to set it up myself to get these incredible ambient sounds. You mentioned that the minilogue is going directly into the clouds and out of the clouds into the mix. Is there any other modules involved behind the scenes or adaptors to get the line levels from the minilogue to work?

[@ThreeBeingOne]

The best beats are ancient they are called Euclidean strings. A guy named toussan has a great paper on it.

[@nielsblume]

Nick... you should edit your Friday Fun sessions (audio only) so we can download a collection of them. Fade in and out so we have individual tracks. They are full of atmosphere. This one especially.

[@raffitchakmakjian]

Nick, I like your beats. I'm tired of all the samey crap that's saturating every medium these days. You have a following because you are different, don't sell out.

[@tomexistsonline]

Nice. So you can use things like Clouds with external gear right off the bat? I want to build up a small modular rig to use alongside my Octatrack but really don't know where to start... This is neat; being able to process sounds without any other modules.

[@swordghoti]

It's things like this that inspire me to experiment endlessly. Great demo of the gear.

[@markuscone]

Nice the Clouds sounds great and just add so much depth.

[@Fluxwithit]

Glad to see you enjoying the fulsome clouds nick. Lovely jam.

[@CharleyHale]

Damn I hope you recorded this as a track. It makes me feel a love

[@DoctorJezz]

Got a prologue review coming up by any chance? I’d say it definitely IS in the ballpark of the Rev 2 and then some IMHO - what says Nick after a play? ;)

[@czcx403]

Hello! Could you tell please, how you connect outputs of clouds with audio-interface?

[@Radar23]

just picked up a cloud.. and while scanning through the many YT demos.. as every NB does the best

[@christoroppolo8742]

This is nicks calling! It reminds me of Brian Enos stuff but more intense and beautiful! Great performance Nick! No offense Brian! Peace Christo 🎶🎶🛸🛸👽👏🏻✌🏻🕺🐕🙏👍🏻🔦

[@carbon.creates]

first vid of yours i've come across. unbelievable man, great stuff

[@EmilHarder]

Fantastic sounds. Would be lovely to listen to a full album someday ;)

[@snoolee7950]

Nick, really nice. I don't how you sort all this stuff, I really don't. You do a great thing. Thank you

[@jonaseggen2230]

No beats because I'm old.. LOL ! :D Being into minimalist, ambient and drone stuff clouds was the firs of three modules I got, and was the reason I bought a eurorack in the first place. Tnx for inspirational video.

[@whitenoisefromelectronicto1728]

Clouds is definitely the first module I will buy!

[@donaldpriola1807]

As always, lots of fun. Keep them coming!

[@Genshi]

Very nicely done! This video makes me miss my Minilogue... but at least I have TWO Clouds! ;)

[@christoroppolo8742]

There is a harmonium deluxe feeling in this that is intoxicating! You need To release a new cd! Or whatever! Peace 🎶🎶🎶🎶🐕🐕🕺🛸🙏✌🏻👏🏻👍🏻🔦Christo

[@LUGER97]

Hi Nick, love your work. How current need beats to be?

[@ikkini]

Well it sounds good as always, but imho using Clouds without any modulation source is pointless. You could have done the same with an Eventide pedal. Add a single LFO and a random source and you'll start to hear why Clouds is such a piece of great gear ! ;)

[@HiGlowie]

ikkini what is your take on the Clouds plug-in?

[@Matthewsavant]

I bet you can get very similar results with some creative programming in the Octatrack, like micro sampling Rec/playback, tempo synced LFO etc to create and play back “grains” In a way.....I’m going to go try that right now 🤔

[@AlexSimesky]

Another good one, thank you Nick! Some parts of It remind me of JMJ's Oxygene part 3 (with the sustained chord drone and heavy bass underneath).

[@mariwarren9897]

I have been tempted to buy a minilogue but an SOS review pointed out that it cant be used to control other synths (ie my Neutron) because the midi cc is messed up. Have Korg sorted this out?

[@manne3d]

Sweet ambient noodlings! Have a fulsome Friday! :D

[@officialExcerpt]

Wow mine does not sound like this at all. Does it always need stereo out to work?

[@cameronv205]

This was awesome! I have an MS-20 Mini, but this synth seems to have way more creative potential and possibilities for my taste as a musician. I've got to get me a Minilogue!

[@lostboy5861]

Yea it just honestly depends on the artist i love my ms 20 and would never trade it do to all the patch points that only started making sense to me 2 years later once i got into eurorack. So my opinion is if you know your going to get into eurorack keep the ms20 it goes very well with euro and i use it all the time with my clouds module, but if you really just want to play chords i say trade the ms 20 on craigslist for the minilouge they come up all the time !!!

[@Alkatross]

I bought one a year and a half ago and still use it at least once a week.

[@cameronv205]

I love my MS-20 Mini too! It was my first synth and I plan on keeping it. They can be amazing instruments together with their unique differences. I'd have both lol.

[@cameronv205]

Edgar Moreno Thank you! I definitely plan on keeping it.

[@alexanderthomas542]

Wow love the freeze function

[@ZElTGElST]

Awesome demo... its a pity is not 20min long at least... You totally should release some EPs or an album. In the meantime, it would be nice to have your NEUTRON review, Nick!!

[@brandonbanks32278]

@sonicstate I'm new to your channel...and i've never been more fascinated with this level of music before. being a modular virgin. I've done research through watching your uploads on this channel. And i personally feel i'm ready to tackle and experiment with mods. of course i want to start small. and that mod box is it? How can i build a box such as that? what all would i need?

[@Psychlist1972]

Mutable Instruments has stopped making Clouds. Too bad, it looks like so much fun.

[@sonicstate]

You can run it on the vcvrack I think they released a software version of it

[@jonaseggen2230]

You can get it as a DIY and people make them and sell them to. Also you can get them secondhand, that's what I did. but it is expected that they will make a sort of replacement as they have done with Braids and make Plaits instead.

[@NicolasMelis]

Where can i find this small eurorack case Nick has?

[@photonal]

Search for Doepfer A-100MC

[@benbainbridge]

Made my Friday this, great sounds

[@oddvorbis]

I enjoyed this one quite a bit! I would love to do similar stuff with my minilogue, but am still a beginner and generally building up my knowledge base. Are there cheap alternative to the fulsome cloud that can do that of effect/control that isn't too hard to find?

[@oliveris95]

Ableton Granulator. It's free if you have the full version of Ableton (not Lite).

[@blanet]

I just bought a second hand microclouds clone (because I watched this video hehe), and when I connect my minilogue the same way as in the video all I get is electric ground noise. When I connect my roland tb-3 there is no problem. I am using a 6,3 mm unbalanced jack connector (0,5 m long) plus a 6,3mm to 3,5mm jack adapter (also unbalanced). ¿What can I do to get rid of that noise? ¿different cable and no adaptor at all? ¿Or something else more tricky? BIG THANKS!!

[@r_dreamer5462]

This was beautiful

[@yeppy013]

What is the mutable cloud mostly known for and for what application use?

[@sonicstate]

its a granular time based effect with delay, reverb and time slicing - (very simple explaination!) I dont have a full understanding of what it does or can do, but sounds great.

[@hafstrat]

Loving that custom clouds! I could do with some ambient inspiration.

[@mathieutorres1130]

Un furieux must have pour les "lives" malgré les apparences. Ciao tutti ! 😑😀😆

[@suga4all]

5:00 Starts to become Blade Runner-esque

[@willvine4921]

I've just managed to get a second hand MI Clouds , it's not fulsome unfortunately ! ;-)

[@KristerNielsen]

Sounds great. Have the Clouds... all i need now is the Minilogue :P

[@JesseWarren]

well that was beautiful

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

That is a cute little eurorack.

[@FingersInTheNoise]

beautiful combo, where we can find this small case please?

[@photonal]

It’s the Doepfer A-100MC

[@AnnGracevideos]

Where can I buy the Fulsome Clouds?

[@pizzamanmep]

Funny to say that clouds production has been stopped

[@Zinfidel1]

"Ha, *Fulsome* Clouds, haven't heard of that version, but with that title it seems like it was made in heaven for Nick..... Oh it was literally made specifically for him. Awesome."

[@jupitor919]

Can you go straight out of the mini. Into the clouds ?

[@kristian1120]

did you find an answer to this question? and from clouds, do you go back into the mini or into a separate mixer or amp?

[@TheDazlermac]

Another great combination

[@daneguitarist1]

this is so god damn good

[@overdueresidue]

This sounds amazing.

[@HisXLNC]

You make this look so easy. When I sit down to do one of these it always turns into garbage.

[@TheColebyArnett]

Freaking incredible bud. 👌🏻

[@mattsynth]

Beautiful.

[@saintnicholas5507]

That sounds fantastic

[@HELLADJ]

8:15 so sick

[@ArctaProductions]

Vibes vaguely reminiscent of 2814

[@azulcobalto]

This is wonderful.

[@markolijus]

Love your jams Nick , that part from 8th minute.. beautiful. MI CLouds can do so much more, you need to make more jams with it, maybe use CV and gate- outs from minibrute 2 or Neutron to modulate Clouds in many ways, and use that attenuator between those connections! Would really love to hear another jam with clouds! cheers mate, keep up the good work! PS Where's sonic talk this week?

[@canecreek00]

Enjoyed the video but I must point out it really upsets Oliver when he sees a Clouds being used without modulation.

[@simonlittlebass]

Beautiful Nick 👌

[@three-leggedcat6241]

Really good

[@nikherold5345]

Where is friday fun of this friday?

[@sonicstate]

Cant do them every week sadly, but as and when

[@inthefade]

Just throw A cr-78 organ beat on there with some reverb. No one here is looking for "current" from you. We like the old-school.

[@adamhill1614]

Sounds very Tycho-esque

[@Rgdonaire_07]

What a legend

[@overseasterritory8983]

Nick what happened to your eurorack case?

[@sonicstate]

Nothing just thought a smaller one would work better for this kind of thing

[@jonaseggen2230]

Good, We were worried you had cleaned it on high temperatures. : p My jokes are bad but I'm old ; )

[@blunderspublik]

Put that on Bandcamp right now with a blurry landscape photo and make yourself $124.00!

[@chucklouis3549]

This is great fun!!!

[@jacco1967]

“...... I’m old and my beats are not very current ....” hahaha....

[@dcupmusic]

Do some soundtracks!

[@C1c4da]

now I wanna hear nicks beats :)

[@mathieutorres1130]

Un furieux must have pour le "live", sans se fier aux apparences !😑😶😉

[@triplebacon1]

Simple and massive!! ;-)

[@Fuzzboy100]

this was other worlds

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Lovely sounds Nick! Almost a little Vangelis moment there :-) And what a nice gift....

[@synthnseq]

I've sampled Nick's comment and run it through a couple of proccesses - 115bpm, ripe for remixing with uncurrent beats!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foHIgWyQZa5_bLc
