Techno Break evolving with Clep Diaz / 8 bars Filter Modulation, Ducking Techniques for Techno

[@MrCshmn]

Once again. Diamond quality tips for getting compression effects without using one.

[@BungHoleCamper]

Awesome explanation of very practical techniques! Thank you!

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

I finally understand Clep! Thanks for the great explanation. Also the DT rumble trick was awesome.

[@IhorMedia]

I am glad you found it useful! Thanks for hanging!

[@user-oe6wp8jy9p]

I love how you explain the tricks/techniques you use in a way that applies broadly to all types of gear. Thanks Ihor!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you, James! I appreciate you hanging here! ✌️

This one is fire! Such a sick video. The Noise Engineering gang running wild once again. Those guys hit it from so many angles! At this point, I wish Noise Engineering would make at least one module I don't want. This one shows the flexibility and usefulness of the Clep Diaz but Lapsus and Pons are so integral in the success of this patch it could be a trio demo. Ihor, my dude, this is the content we came here for, bro. :) Don't. Stop. Yo.

[@IhorMedia]

Trio Demo sounds like a good idea actually! Man, NoiseEng are on top of the game. I admire their genius in Modular World. Thanks for hanging here, Jonathan! ✌️

[@MrCshmn]

I’ve not seen Pons before this video. No I’m intrigued to know more. Is it an envelope generator?

[@Tofu_Pilot]

@@MrCshmn Yes, it does 3 different shapes (up up-down down) and LFOs as well. Each CH can be independent or you can pick as many of the 4 you want to control at once.

[@Nick-kb6jd]

Techno Techno Techno. Love it. Very inspiring and giving me ideas thanks

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you Nick!

[@AdrianCrovetto]

This is definitely one of my favorite ways to use the Clep Diaz. Rhythmically evolving modulation is just so delicious!

[@IhorMedia]

The most delicious! Thanks for tuning in! ✌️

[@SteveMaggioncalda]

boom. brilliant

[@andreasstrohlein6772]

I had no idea the offset and attenuate inputs on the Lapsus Os are summed! Ah this makes this module even more useful! Thank you!!!

[@IhorMedia]

Hey Andreas! Thanks for watching! Glad you found something useful for yourself! ✌️

[@henningstrandvik8245]

Great videos! Learn ALOT!

[@jeliano]

fantastic channel!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Your sound is perfect and you make it look so easy

[@HumanMotives]

Great explanations Ihor, keeps perfecting my (and your) skill 👌

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you!

[@mit136speichenumdiewelt]

The explain is from ground, perfect. No one talk about the basic.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@murat_buyuk]

Love the idea using a low pitched filtered snare for rumble. The Clep Diaz is a workhorse. For 8 steps though, you would have to set it to the 4th LED only. Like this (first 3 LEDs on) you'll have 7 steps. Since you reset the CD, it doesn't start to shift. Which can be also interesting.

[@stujay]

Great walk-through, thanks.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you!

[@letxequaly]

A great sounding track out of a minimal set-up and all done in 21 minutes! I'm going to use some of these techniques for sure.

[@IhorMedia]

Glad this was useful! ✌

[@Jimantronic]

Great guide, thanks. Very well explained and clear examples. I didn't know the rumble was a thing but as soon as you put it in I recognised the classic sound 😎

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! It really means a lot to me that you found it useful! ✌️

[@teeeeba]

Sweet! +1 enjoying the lapsus ducking. I have bought so many noise engineering modules because of your videos 😂 keep on rockin!

[@IhorMedia]

Sorry 😊

[@ModulatedMusik]

That was excellent. Also, that’s a great trick with the Lapsus to create the ducking effect... I’ll have to make use of it.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! Great you find it useful.

[@dtrsrg]

Impressive ❤

[@aaronrosenthal5310]

Y You might not find this suggestion all that helpful, but you can improve your videos by continuing to make phenomenal videos! Please keep em coming!!!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! This is indeed a helpful suggestion!

[@kenniferlopez1]

Good thing I have a job where I can start buying modular again. Dammit!

[@RoomReflections]

Really like your videos man, keep them coming

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you Lorenzo! It means to me! ✌️

[@user-tv7jx9pw1q]

Really great stuff.. the empress sounds amazing but seems like veeeeeeeeeeery deep menu diving ;D

[@IhorMedia]

Thanks! I am glad you found it great! Yeah, on ZOIA you firstly need to create a patch with kinda deep menu diving. Though it is a lot of fun! It's almost like using the Modular. Also there is lots of patches out there shared by people!

[@rnx317]

Seriously brilliant stuff my man!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! ✌️

[@CrossTekk]

Great job Ihor !

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! ✌️

[@SynthDad]

Great tutorial - thanks for sharing!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! Glad to see you here! ✌️

[@interference7480]

Thank you for this video. I have learned a ton. Greatly appreciated

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! I am glad you’ve learned something! ✌️

[@EnviroDouglas]

you’re sooooo right about noise engineering.... they have many great modules. makes me wonder if you’re considering a monster rack to house all your faves. and i like this one too. 2nd time watching.

[@IhorMedia]

I've got 104HP Palette for that purpose! I am planning to assembly it per project. And for techno EP it must have some many Noise Engineering modules! Thanks for kicking in!

[@alexbarn]

Another great tutorial, thanks!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you, Alex! I appreciate you hanging here!

[@tilliinfinity]

really like your videos but i would like to see some breakbeats from time to time. i just do techno music in a live context and i just love deep oldschool dubstep or dnb

[@IhorMedia]

I am exploring different genres and breakbeats too! Thanks for feedback!

[@gastawson4398]

My man! I love your vids... I am slowly going this digitakt+modular direction as well and I was wondering if you could implement more digitakt's MIDI sequencer ... maybe even instead of the steppy and mimetic combo for a video? Anyhow keep it up, it's great, what you're doing!

[@IhorMedia]

Hey! Thank you for hanging here! ✌️ Using DTs sequencer for my modular is my goto thing usually. With MIDI 1U module (or any other MIDI interface for modular) it covers A LOT of use cases. Tho a big advantage of Mimetic and Steppy combo for me is its melodic/rhythmic randomness and ease of use. Have a look at one of the videos on my channel about MIDI 1U module. There I use DTs sequencer a lot. ✌️

[@gastawson4398]

@@IhorMedia Yeah, just came across that Techo Break😄. And you're right.. I guess DT sequencer could work just fine if you prepare your patterns in advance, but for live improvisation Steppy+Mimetic make more sense. That's bad news for me, because it means 2 more modules in my schopping list.

[@IhorMedia]

@@gastawson4398 exactly that! Tho Steppy can also be replaced by the DTs sequencer easily. Always so many ways 😊

[@IhorMedia]

@@gastawson4398 also! Tho I think these were bad news for your wallet, not for you, mate :)

[@gastawson4398]

@@IhorMedia yeah, those are the things, that go hand in hand with one another.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

I bought two Cleps. No reason why. Just did. Trying to ambient with it. Slowed all the way down 32 steps. Added marbles. N clouds. 🙌🙌🙌🙌. Again. Perfect sounds. Anyone have the fx aid. I have my eye on that one ☝️

[@MDWeezer]

Love it!

[@IhorMedia]

✌️Thank you for hanging here!

[@OlivierSarfati]

Really like what you are doing :) I am wandering in modular for the first time and although I know about subtractive synthesis, modular remains a bit of a mistery...

[@IhorMedia]

Hey Olivier! Glad you like it! You could try VCV Rack (which is free software version of a modular system) to get the idea what to expect from modular!

[@OlivierSarfati]

@@IhorMedia Thanks I had it downloaded already :) What basic modules would you recommend to mess around with DFAM & Subharmonicon?

[@IhorMedia]

@@OlivierSarfati Oh DFAM! DFAM is so much a techno box! I don't have it, but I gave it a try on Superbooth in the Moog Circus! Amazing! For modules to play with it tho I don't really know what to recommend. Sorry :)

[@inf0tr8r]

I think if you're using a modular for techno, you really should take advantage of a good kick module or two, for raw power live

[@IhorMedia]

Maybe! Which one would you recommend?

[@inf0tr8r]

@@IhorMedia oh man, I just saw this now. The Erica Synths Bass Drum 2 is really really nice, I just added one recently. The absolute best one, a bit out of my budget is the Jomox mbase but really, I'm very impressed with the BD, it frees up my BIA that's for sure :)

[@warpigs330]

Sounded great. Got a mimetic recently and have been trying to really get to know it. Noise engineering is quickly becoming my favorite modular company.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! Noise Engineering is amazing! I have even more modules than shown on this video. Now I’m thinking to make one with “Noiseeng only” modules. ✌️

[@Tofu_Pilot]

@warpigs330 I never intended to like one modular company way more than most. I somehow let Noise Engineering into my life and now it's starting to take over.

[@gstyle11]

Awesome! Is this possible to shift the timing of the clap earlier per step on the digitakt?

[@IhorMedia]

Yes, of course! There is micro timing feature that you can use per step.

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz__]

this is awesome! so high quality and knowledgeable. you need more subs! +1 from me))

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! I am glad that you admit the quality I am trying to maintain! This means a lot to me! ✌️

[@earthman_]

I like a lot. How do you sync Digitakt with the Modular 🙂

[@IhorMedia]

It is via MIDI. On the modular I have a MIDI to CV converter - MIDI 1U from intellijel. This is it!

[@boydw1]

Do you have an "Ornament & Crime" module? I suspect it's "Quadraturia" LFO mode might be able to be employed essentially as a quad channel alternative to Clep.

[@boydw1]

The Xaoc Devices "Zadar" looks interesting too

[@IhorMedia]

I know O&C is an outstanding module! But I don't have one. Something is holding me back from getting it. It might be that "programming" feeling that I don't really like. Like in Pam's. It is great, but to get things done you have to sit and make considerable, logical, at times complex choices. Whilst Clep is just immediate and simple. Thanks for your comment and suggestions! Much appreciated.

[@Ratimus_]

The Benisphere alt firmware for OC has re-creations of Clep Diaz and Mimetic Digitalis. I just installed it last night but haven't gotten a chance to play with it yet.
