Harrington 1200 Ornament and Crime full tutorial. How hipsters play chords

[@dtkincaid]

This was excellent! Thank you for doing this. There is a real shortage of good O&C demos/tutorials out there.

[@SynthDad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

This is by far my favorite video series on ornament and crime so far. Thanks.

[@SynthDad]

Thank you for watching!

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

@@SynthDad Thanks for creating them.

[@nyeus]

Top notch production and great explanation as always. Love the videos. Thank you for all your work. You are a incredible source of inspiration.

[@SynthDad]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I enjoy making them, stay tuned for more!

[@potatothistle]

my brain is humming along thinking of the possibilities of making music with these type of tools! Very stimulating! Great exploration. Thanks

[@SynthDad]

Awesome, thank you!

[@opwave79]

I’ve been watching all your Ornaments and Crime tutorials and they’ve all been very helpful. This app would be very nice for ambient music. Thank you for sharing!

[@SynthDad]

Thank you for taking the time to watch!

[@b_r_i_z_z_y]

Inspiring! Def moving my OC to my skiff and going through your tutorials. Thanks again SynthDad!

[@SynthDad]

You’re welcome!

[@duaneduane8533]

hello i m looking for a module as modular maritime DECCA ; do you have an idea about something similar. Cause i can t find the DECCA thank you

[@duaneduane8533]

by the way thanks for yous modulars tutorial

[@rayderrich]

Every video you make inspires me to try something new, thank you very much.

[@SynthDad]

Happy to hear that!

[@ricksanders]

GREAT ! Super clear and usefull tutorial. I am a big O & C fan and use it a lot (mainly Piqued, Quantermain and CopierMaschine) but still this video helps me further, as I have not been using Harrinton 1200 much till now. But this will certainly change as results of this video.

[@SynthDad]

Great to hear! I need to go look at Piqued and Quantermain next

[@kalubandali2241]

love this series, thanks for your hard work!

[@SynthDad]

Thank you for watching!

[@pyrofiliac]

absolutely stellar vid

[@SynthDad]

Thank you appreciate it!

[@seanspartan2023]

I need an O_c module stat! Thank you for this awesome tutorial. The SWN has an arpeggiator mode but this gives you better control over making chords than using the spread control.

[@SynthDad]

Glad you found it helpful! I really like the arp mode on the SWN (and have been playing around with it a lot). Harrington + spread mode on the SWN is a killer combo

[@GrizzlyWang]

very cool. please do more in depth videos on making chords with the oc plz :)

[@SynthDad]

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind

[@Jaysusitsme]

Superb video, very explicit and easy to follow/understand. Stupid question: would there be three VCOs required to produced a chord? (question is based on yours having six but only using three) cheers and thanks!

[@SynthDad]

Thanks for the kind words! Yes you would need a 3 VCO setup to produce a triad chord, or 4 VCOs for a 4-note chord etc.

[@Jaysusitsme]

@@SynthDad One final thing - would you mind (time permitting) making a tutorial on Noise Eng.’s Mimetic Digitales? it’s such a useful sequencer, but it confuses the be-Jesus out of me!

[@walrtbstudios5430]

I’ve just bought a uO_C (and recently sold my SWN, but no matter) and am finding this series invaluable. I’d had the idea of semi-random triggers from Pam’s before you mentioned it, so my brain must’ve attuned to the H1200 concept faster that it did Quantermain!

[@Felbify]

So good! You made me buy an o_C. I would love to see more videos like that.

[@SynthDad]

Thanks! I’ve a series of them on my channel which I’m adding to all the time. Stay tuned for more

[@thehowlingterror]

So helpful aided by your delivery. Ta.

[@oxiinstruments]

Perfect video, thanks for taking the time to explain all the features!

[@SynthDad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Robert_Babicz]

thank you, very interesting

[@SynthDad]

You are welcome!

[@PocketUnv]

This was exactly what I needed to know, thank you, instant sub!

[@SynthDad]

Awesome, thank you!

[@dr.feelicks2051]

Thanks for quieting the menu dive demons that take hold with this one.

[@SynthDad]

Happy to help quell those demons!

[@HenricWallmark]

Received my O_c yesterday. Thanks, friend!

[@SynthDad]

Hope you enjoyed it and found it useful!

[@rainerd9890]

Thanks for this. I'm looking to use more chords in my tunes but can't afford to use 3 or 4 oscillators doing so! Is it possible to run the chord outputs to something like the microfreak (paraphonic) with a cv to midi converter?

[@SynthDad]

Yes absolutely! That would be a very clever idea

[@drivemyrocket]

Great video! I’d love to see you cover other apps in the o_C.

[@SynthDad]

Working on it - stay tuned. Have you seen the tutorials I made on Copiermaschine and Sequins? Let me know which app you'd like to see covered next?

[@magnusmyrtveit4306]

these videos are great man. thanks.

[@SynthDad]

Thanks for watching!

[@chatolars]

excellent, thank for sharing. This firmware in the Ornament does other things as well right? is the inly firmware that does this? its confussing between firmwares and modes...

[@SynthDad]

Yes it does, "standard" firmware comes with 13 'apps' built in which I cover in these videos. Because it's open-source in design others have developed alternate firmware images for it. You load these using a USB cable - I show how to do that in my Hemispheres tutorial video in this series. Different firmware provide new apps, or a whole new way of using the O_C

[@jockcooper8888]

question about that Decca. I got one awhile back after seeing this video; but I notice the push buttons "bounce" a lot of the time. Meaning they will trigger twice. Do yours also do this?

[@SynthDad]

They do unfortunately, seems like it is part of the design

[@endless_arps]

Very good tutorial , thanks!

[@SynthDad]

Thanks for watching and glad you found it useful!

[@djsurmah]

Nice tutorial, thanks. Do you know another module similar like Decca? Thanks again

[@SynthDad]

Not sure really; a quick search on ModularGrid should give you some ideas

[@thewonkwonk]

Hopefully you ll be reading this, can i utilise pams instead of deca to send open gate? - obv given the question im new to this world Thank you again for all the videos very helpful

[@SynthDad]

Hi - yes Pams is perfect for gates/triggers. It is one of the most common uses for it. Lots of videos explain it, and the manual covers it in great detail too

[@thewonkwonk]

@@SynthDad thanks. Is there a way to send a continuous open gate - or is it a case to play with modifier values?

[@SynthDad]

You can choose gate types on Pams, for example there is a mode to fire a trigger once only, or open a gate and keep it high for the duration of playing. If you want the gate to remain open for a vaiable amount of time map the Width parameter to CV1 and modulate it with a CV into CV1

[@ianpk5234]

Is it possible to input 3 pitches from an external source that are already in a chordal relationship and have it do a transformation?

[@SynthDad]

Unfortunately no - the CV inputs are only for mapping the transforms or euclidean mode parameters

[@CapriciousBlackBox]

Nice! Thanks for the excellent info!

[@SynthDad]

Thank you for watching!

[@blaythessteuer]

wonderful and useful

[@SynthDad]

Thank you!

[@HatredPrime]

What a convoluted way of making music

[@SynthDad]

Pre cicely - eurorack is all about making the easy stuff hard and the hard stuff easy

[@SyncdAlien]

I recently heard that the term 'hipster' was started in the 1940s to refer to fans of jazz music and their friends. It wasn't meant as a pejorative.

[@SynthDad]

It's funny how words shift and change over the years.

[@SyncdAlien]

@@SynthDad Yes, now 'hipster' is developing a connotation of someone who is trying too hard to be trendy but disingenuously so.

[@peterantens8290]

Great explanation, Would you be so kind to do the same for Curds? That app just baffles me :D

[@SynthDad]

Yes Curds, Piqued and Quantermain are next on the list to make tutorials on. Stay tuned!

[@peterantens8290]

@@SynthDad subscribed :) Keep up the good work!!

[@nealohara782]

o+c is so good for microtonal

[@NoizeInsomniak]

thanks for French subtitles

[@SynthDad]

You're welcome!

[@cr0wland]

Great video....but...as a total noob who's just built o_c and doesn't have any experience of pams/SWN/whatever that other module is, it's kinda hard to follow what is actually happening.

[@SynthDad]

Thanks for the feedback. What parts of it need better explanation?

[@davidrosset4457]

I was using this app on my O_C but when I shift chords, it keeps pitching down infinitely... is there any way around that?

[@SynthDad]

Oddly enough I find that mine pitches up constantly. I found the best workaround was to send a trigger into TR1 to reset it

[@nealohara782]

btw if you haven't fell down the rabbit hole a purchased a sinfonion, it's a super module. Not for then bank balance.

[@SynthDad]

Yeah I've been steering clear of the Sinfonion, not because it's not amazing (it is) but because of the cost!

[@lostomen6079]

Wow. What perfect timing. I just got my uO_c yesterday and am pretty lost. Great video and thanks for posting!

[@SynthDad]

You're welcome! Enjoy exploring the module

[@NoxBoxdy]

Hipster friends.. Lol... They can't afford the modular my synthnerd friends have. They spend all their money on other thiiings... 🤔😁

[@NoxBoxdy]

Also. Nice tutorial. Subscribed.

[@SynthDad]

Thanks! I don't think hipsters want to spend time with an uncool synthdad like me :)

[@NoxBoxdy]

@@SynthDad You will be fine.. Lol ;-)
