Starting from Zer0: What is Patching?

[@martintaylor9205]

I’m 67 yrs old going on 25 and just got into this modular I now own 0-control O -coast Rosie Erb verb Morphagene but haven’t faintest idea of first patch so this series will be excellent instruction it was watching Mylar melodies review of no control that set my mind on this format he makes those units sing Mylar is Alex and he reviews tons of gear and gigs his modular system as well as working full time in musical retail distribution Excellent show

You’ve come to the right place then, Martin! With what you already have, you can make sounds you’d never imagined possible. In my limited experience (I have been experimenting with modular for about a year and some change now) I’d recommend watching all the Make Noise tutorials on the synths and modules you own, and Mylar Melodies will never steer you wrong. Above all else, have fun patching and making noise! 8^)

So glad to hear you are having fun! Alex/Mylar is a good friend and great teacher!

I’ve been playing modular synths since I was *actually* 21, ~17 years ago, and this video taught me some stuff too! (Second verb meaning of “patch” for starters!)

[@enthusiasticElectrons]

Mylar’s 0-CTRL review made me switch from “I’ll probably get one eventually” to “I’m ordering one right now.” And I’m not one to impulse buy gear.

Really helpful to hear the basic components of patching for a relative beginner (or bassist) such as myself. Making Noise is Very Rewarding!

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Thanks for watching!!

Keep up the great work Walker!! just love sitting here and learning like this

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Thanks, glad you are liking it!!

[@bauhnguefyische667]

Very Basic, and sometimes it's a good reminder to nail the most basic stuff, it makes the more complicated patching easier to follow.

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Phargoomax]

Very well explained, Walker, thank you for your tutorial! Really helpful for newbies to get access to the phantastic world of patching with unlimited possibilities of making sounds/music!

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Thanks! So glad it's helpful to you :)

Sehr gut !

[@timferdinand5761]

Is there a time delay related to the length of a patch cable? So does it make a difference between a very long or a very short patch cable or can I see those both as simultaneously generating the connection?

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

Once the circuit is completed by the full patching of the cable, everything is functionally instantaneous. I'd avoid using patch cables that are over twenty feet long though ;)

[@elyssapalmer2298]

Are there any particular input to input connections you'd recommend trying? or is that too !!ii?

[@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC]

The time to patch inputs to inputs is when using a stacking cable or a mult, which connects 3 or more jacks together. In that case there'll always be two or more inputs or outputs connected. When connecting one output and multiple inputs, it's like sending the same signal to both of the inputs. When connecting multiple outputs to one or more inputs, it only really works with gates (and only on Make Noise products) - this combines the gates together. Just patching an input to another input without an output involved is usually going to have no effect at all.

Really wonder if you can use the 0 ctrl to turn the 0 coast like this : instagram.com/p/B9mixDDAr9K/

[@blitbleep]

What is cables, jacks, knobs!?!?!? WE MUST GO DEEPER!!

[@dionysis_]

blitit what is ‘is’? Is the ‘isness” of the ‘is’ an existent or a no-thing? The most important of questions 🧐

[@susanneratzer2281]

Pst...don´t share all the basic secrets ;-)
