Live Patterns 2018 - a 21 minute selection of Cirklon scenes for a live performance 2018

[@enneff]

The AFX is strong in this one. Lovely sequencing and patch. ❤️

[@satin360]

best sequencer ever

[@wotmate1440]

would love to see you punch in sequences and create a track like this from scratch ! great sounds too from the euro

[@johnctwenty3]

superb. i'm now working out what i need to steal/sell/pawn so i can afford a cirklon :)

[@TheMachinesWon]

Ur programming is next level. Great tunes!

[@MrSharps02]

nice and hypnotic, the cirklon lust is real. excellent sound design as well.

[@LukeKillen]

Cheers MrSharps02.

[@TJ-vv3ex]

I just put myself on the waiting list but I hear it may take up to a year :(

[@LukeKillen]

Yes, it can take over a year. Worth the wait though.

[@Unifono2012]

stunning

[@R3V1ZION]

This is amazing

[@McOwenWilson]

14/179 videos shuffled in the Modular Synthesiser Patches playlist. I’ve got some work to do. Very very pleasant work. You make incredible patches, man. Brilliant display of discipline and creativity.

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks again, I hope you find something interesting along the way.

[@felixvandenberghe9131]

really good

[@dylanmartin8547]

nice stuff Luke

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks Dylan. It's nice to hear from you.

[@dan_dorjay]

Loving this. It feels kind of effortless - which I know it is not. Damn cool.

[@LukeKillen]

Thank you Dan. About a months worth of patching making patterns.

[@dan_dorjay]

@@LukeKillendo you talk anywhere about how you work? What your process is for patching, building patterns and stitching them together? I'd love to know more about how you do this.

[@LukeKillen]

@@dan_dorjay I'm happy to answer any questions about my process. With live sets i tend to decide on what kind music i want to play for the set, then build the core patch over couple of weeks that enables those kinds of timbres. I giving myself lots for time to ensure that i can certain transform timbres in a few ways and patch enough CVs to the Cirklon that will allow me to to transforms stuff over time. During that time i'll also build some core movements in the set in the form of Cirklon scenes. like snapshots of where I want the music to be at a point in the set. Once i have enough of those core scenes, i'll work out patterns which will bridge them nicely and add breakdowns or variations for a passage. Sometimes at that point i may add more CVs from the Cirklon (if there are any left) to the patch, to enable movements over time. at the end i'll build an intro and an outtro. With non Cirklon music, i tend to choose a feel, a Genre or concept and try to achieve it withing the confines of the modular, living with the compromises which that creates. which is kind of nice.

[@MIDERA]

This is phenomenal. I've enjoyed the whole thing. Thank you for sharing.

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks MIDERA, Thanks for listening.

[@rdomain]

Great stuff Luke. Tight as.

[@LukeKillen]

The legendary tightness of Cirklon really is true. I use it as the master for everything.

[@spybloodjr]

The future is now

[@xquizit79]

nice Carbon Based Lifeforms meets Orbital vibe you got going on here...

[@droxindustries]

Excellent :) loving this

[@albertdesalvo4847]

bravo !

[@Xcentrec]

That’s great!

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks Xcentrac. Thanks for listening.

[@Xcentrec]

We hold a weekly modular synths podcast for Signal Expo Berlin educational event. If you would be interested to join our community we would love to have you with us!

[@JohnLRice]

Excellent! :-)

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks for listening John. Much appreciated.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

I like how it's MONO. Do you always mix/record in mono, or it is just something that heppened for the video?

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks. Most of my eurorack is mono, so I just mix mono and occasionally pan or phase invert and widen if I think it can deal or needs it.

[@remydupon9965]

love this!!! :)

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks for listening Remy

[@SallianceMedia]

Grandmaster Luke!

[@justifeyed]

At which location did you play in Sydney?

[@LukeKillen]

I think this was for the MIDI in the City 10th Anniversary.

[@psilo761]

Lemme get that cirklon m8o

[@KuznecovVictor]

What did you use for recording? Nice jam. Good luck. BTW I have both, G2 and Circklon lol

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks. I record six tracks from the Euro and split the channels from the G2 parts over the four outputs.

[@nikarga]

Another excellent video.. would love to see a video breaking down some of these patches.. also, your tracks are hardly ever muddy and levels/eq are spot on - do you do a lot of post work in a DAW to achieve this?

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks nikarga. I mix all my patches directly into my DAW and monitor live. I use it pretty much as a multitrack recorder/ FX unit. I apply processing as it's needed as i complete the patch. Sometimes outboard, sometimes in the DAW.

[@nikarga]

Very interesting. I noticed you're not using a Drum Mux either, just the Cirklon BoB.. Anyway thank you for sharing these fantastic sequences... You are not only a good musician but a master of the Cirklon (which I am still learning...)

[@LukeKillen]

I would like the Drum Mux at some point. as it would give me more trigger options and free up some gates, but there is plenty to keep me busy on the BOB for now. :)

[@nikarga]

luke btw what case are you using?

[@LukeKillen]

It's an Amalgamod 12RU 104hp. This one is in ABS and Alluminium.

[@nikarga]

those are incredible.. I'd love to get one. Anyway brother Sub'd a while ago and following your music, keep up the excellent work - its inspiring. When/If you ever get the chance, sending a link to ModularGrid for your current setup would be most interesting!

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks nikarga. Current modular grid is in the channel description. For older videos it will be out of date but always what i have in the rack now.

[@areal1853]

Lovely stuff Luke. Just a question re the breakout box; each of the sixteen instrument/track buttons are labelled; how do they each correspond to the outputs from the breakout box in terms of gates/cvs/clocks? I'm trying to figure out the eurorack aspect of it in terms of outputs from the bo box to the inputs of the modules in your rack. (I've been waiting 4yrs and 2 months for my cirklon, so hopefully by April '23 I'll have it if not earlier). Many thanks in advance.

[@LukeKillen]

Thanks, don’t worry the wait is worth it. The jacks on the breakout box have 8 gate outputs as well as 16 configurable I/O that can be anything from cv, envelopes or inputs. So you more or less program it how you prefer it and then save that as an Instrument.

[@PsytoxKoma]

584 views. I don't get it v_v

[@xperimentador]

Probably because of the long title and order of placement of important keywords
