Intellijel Metropolis - Multi-Stage Sequencer

[@johnwalterhowell-sayers3051]

fixed mode and pulse count solve my biggest 'issue' with Metropolis. Thanks for explaining this!

[@DominikVogelModular]

that's nice to hear, thank you :)

[@edgarbrocke1807]

Great tutorial! I see the Eloquencer to the right. Which one do you enjoy using more often? Thanks!

[@DominikVogelModular]

i love both, eloquencer for programming, metropolis for improvisation. most of the time i use them simultaneously, having the metropolis pitching the eloquencer tracks. will do a vid on that soon

[@edgarbrocke1807]

@@DominikVogelModular, thank you! I have the Stillson Hammer mk2 but I have often wondered about the simplicity of the Metropolis and always being able to see where the sequence is. It just looks like a very enjoyable to use module. I look forward to seeing more of your videos if you are so inclined. Have a great day!

Thanks for your explanation. How can I change the root note with AUX. I want a sequence to be transpose from e.g. a to c. I would like to do that with the AUX and external sequencer e.g. Eloquencer.

[@DominikVogelModular]

the AUX inputs have the function „ROOT“, which shifts the root note according to the CV you send there. btw, i´m doing the same thing but the other way round: my metropolis shifts the root note of my eloquencer patterns (since metropolis has more steps in a sequence than one eloquencer pattern).

Great overview, thank you. Couldn't decide between a Metropolis and Rene 2 as my first sequencer, but now I'm leaning towards the first.

[@DominikVogelModular]

thank you :) I think metropolis is better for hands on sequencing / live pattern evolving, the Rene is very nice too, but more experimental, for randomness, cross-modulation etc

[@alfredo3980]

noob question, what module is going to the aux inputs of the metropolis? im trying to figure out the possibilities i have with aux a and b, thanks for the video btw.

[@DominikVogelModular]

depends on what you want to achieve and which parameter aux a and b are modulating. for example gate length can be modulated with any LFO or Envelope for "gliding" transitions, if you patch a gate or s&h you will get "sudden" changes etc

[@SorchaSublime]

if you were making a modular synth that you had to use for an extended period of time that would only have one dedicated sequencer, would you prefer to have this or Rene?

[@DominikVogelModular]

as main sequencer (if you need multiple sequencer or modulation tracks) I would absolutely recommend the eloquencer.. if it comes down between metropolis and Rene, it depends on your style.. metropolis is more direct, like programming a TR-style of sequencer, Rene is more experimental. for me its more important to program exactly what I want as fast as possible, so I´d go with metropolis.

[@SorchaSublime]

@@DominikVogelModular hm. Im pretty sure i dont need eloquencer (a bit overkill for my plans). I think Rene would probably suit me best, thought it is somewhat hard to tell given how early i am into doing eurorack.

[@benjamingrey3866]

Good trip cuz

[@ACIDGREENTECHNO]

it can do many great things. to bad the price is way, way to high

[@DominikVogelModular]

not more than other quality eurorank gear imo.. ^^ personally I buy almost all my gear used via small ads etc

[@ACIDGREENTECHNO]

@@DominikVogelModular yes right, but "all" of the eurorack stuff is overpriced. same here. 99% used. but also used: 400 are 400euros ^^
