Mariposa // Eurorack Modular Ambient

[@jackantharia]

I wish your tracks were at least 20-40 minutes long, can't get enough of them.

[@odinmp5]

What i love about modular is that you have almost exactly the same modules that a friend of mine has, yet your music is totally different.

[@paulborg9239]

... incredibly, Beethoven and Shostakovich also had a similar set up to each other, and also made music that was totally different from one another... ;-)

[@cz3865]

@@paulborg9239 Odd... Eric Clapton and I have the same guitar, but for some reason, I still sound nothing like him!

[@nntblst]

I like the same thing about it!!!

[@juno3242]

I just keep coming back to this one. It's the video that finally pushed me over the edge into starting a modular, and it remains one of my consistent favs. Such impressive texture work

[@joncharnis4679]

still so good in 2023

[@chatolars]

Great Way to start the day ...beautiful track, lovely liquid sound 👍

[@floatingdoor]

Fuck man. This was severely heavy. Felt like it was the unraveling of someone’s entire life within just a couple of minutes. Phenomenal track man.

[@rbeny]

thank you. it's one of my favorite things I've made. just spontaneous.

[@aminal5]

i absolutly love this peace!

[@danielbaker1273]

Beautiful as usual. A great balance of tension and restraint. Keep up the good work!

This made my heart feel the energy of life again. Thank you for this form of unique art, pushing senses and feelings to the next level. Love and regards!

Yours, Millolab’s and Midera’s are definitely my favorite channels on here. Always quality.

[@rbeny]

love those channels too

Very nice music for my morning

Lovely stuff Austin! I always enjoy your tracks, and i'm loving the current setup.

[@YannGuillermou]

Falsely quiet, absolutely lovely

Love the melody!

[@perebdrup2842]

Very nice. Love your noise and textures.

This is stunning ! Love your work

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Back again for another listen. Wonderful sonic textures just amazing. Could listen all day, in fact I think I will.

[@praimwz]

Again and again. Lovely vibes, thank you!

[@jacobrichards5087]

Beautiful piece, Austin! Really digging this setup that you're using too. A lot of power in such a small system.

[@thomas1ouf]

woah, that soundscape part starting around 3:35 is breathtaking. good job on that new one, really like this setup!

[@jericho2x2]

love the mood. Sounds like the intro of a movie I would like to watch.

[@rbeny]

Jericho definitely a movie with a car driving down the coast at sunset on a summer day, the protagonist starting their long journey back home. thanks for the kind words, 🙏

[@Nachtdwaler]

I like the focus of your setup, it doesn't fuck around. It knows exactly what it wants to do and excels at it! Been waiting for a new upload :) Great work man

[@Almanacs]

DAMN! I love all of your music and stuff.

[@star.trails]

Absolutely beautiful work. Your channel has inspired me to start making music with modular synths, so thank you.

[@marvinjones4415]

Another excellent piece of music.

[@bellyfullofstars]

Beautiful. The melody has an almost vocal quality to it in places. Lovely.

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Gorgeously wonderful soundscape.

[@paulborg9239]

Love the lo-end noise on this one Austin... xx

so good...when is the next full release coming?

[@rbeny]

september maybe, october likely

[@wackenthaljef]

Stereo effect is cool...too.

[@rbeny]

this is why i tell everyone they need to use clouds in stereo

[@wackenthaljef]

Oooh ..ok...i'll get another one...

[@wotmate1440]

Worth the wait.

[@CablesForClouds]

I likey👌

[@juno3242]

This is so inspiring! I just started building a small modular rig and I would love to eventually get to this level. This sounds like its heavily based around the morphagene? Definitely have that module on my list.

[@nntblst]

will callender im on the same point like you but a year later... A few days ago i just received a uBurst Clouds clone and my original system become in a massive ambient system in just 84 hp!!!

[@Chevrolet-Case]

Please patch notes! I''m trying to make a similar setup myself

[@floatingdoor]

What modules were you mainly using in this?

[@rbeny]

mainly 301 (playing back novation peak loops I made), and then clouds, morphagene, and magneto for effects. modulation from marbles and stages. 301 has some effects stuff going on as well.

[@floatingdoor]

r beny awesome thanks man. Again stellar track.

[@sayhellojordan2671]

@@rbeny nvm read this rn. thanks G.

[@VictorSteiner]

Which units are doing the long lasting sounds? Is that a reverb? Nice system and VERY nice soundscape!

[@rbeny]

that's clouds and magneto doing their work. they can turn anything into a pad-like sound

[@ChrisOtchy]

What is sequencing here and what are the sound sources? Or are they already all recorded and being played back thru the ER-301 and MG?

[@rbeny]

sound source is 2 loops of novation peak from the 301. in the video they are running through the different processors, samplers, loopers etc

[@ChrisOtchy]

awesome!

[@guilhermerocha1555]

Hi! First and foremost, what an amazing channel you have! Your sound is incredible! Congratulations! I stumbled on it because I'm planning to get into eurorack sampling and I was looking for good stuff made with Morphagene and Nebulae V2. But I'm still considering selling some gears to finance an ER-301 or Assimil8or. And man, you have a ER-301 and Morphagene! So I'd like to know everything about them from you but that would become a long interview. So I'd like to know how much of Morphagene the ER-301 can or can't be, and why do you have them both (maybe the question is how do you use Morphagene, having ER-301 in the same rack ?) ? Cheers!

[@rbeny]

Yep, to go in depth on them would be quite the essay. The gist of it is that Morphagene is very tactile and its controls and features are completely set. ER-301 is more open ended. You could make something that kind of acts like Morphagene, but it's not quite the same. It's deeper in some ways (I mean 301 can be used for hundreds of things besides sampling, but in sampling alone it could be deep), but also lacks the immediacy and specificity of Morphagene. That may sound vague I think haha.

[@guilhermerocha1555]

@@rbeny no, it's pretty clear. That's exactly what people tell me about those modules. Thanks a lot man!

[@jeffjeffjeffjeff2588]

isn't that magneto sweet? I just got my hands on one and Its amazing.

[@rbeny]

yes. i love it quite a bit.

[@VincentFirebird]

Beautiful ! No external sequencer ? Just your modular system ?

[@rbeny]

well, audio loops. but they were made with an external keyboard (keystep)

[@ben1304]

This is a very great piece! fantastic job with the melody, is it coming from the ER-301?

[@rbeny]

Ben Tunell yes. one of the internal oscillators with a custom unit sequencer i built

[@freddiefranklin1]

Ah man beautiful! Quick question - is all of that degradation and warbliness coming from the Magneto or is there some processing in post? If it's all Magneto then it sounds incredible! My case is 208hp and I went with Mimeophon on delay duties which is a much smaller (and also incredible!) module. Would need to do quite a significant redesign to fit in Magneto but maybe it is worth it!

[@rbeny]

so it's been a while, but from what I can gather Clouds (in looping delay mode, with a lower audio quality setting) is actually providing a lot of degradation and warbliness (and noise). Magneto is also excellent at warbles, but the feedback degradations are a bit different to Clouds in looping delay mode. Magneto's feedback sound can be a bit cleaner.

[@freddiefranklin1]

@@rbeny thanks for getting back to me! Ah yeah ok. I like to use Clouds in looping delay mode but don't think I've ever got it sounding as nice as you do! Is that with a frozen buffer? Or just using it as a standard delay?

[@sinewriter]

WOW

[@Almanacs]

Do you use an external sequencer for those sort keys/arps? Or is it all clock dividing? (numb question, I'm a newbie).

[@rbeny]

in this case, i recorded a loop using a looper in the er-301 (far left module) before doing the video shoot. i just played a few notes on the novation peak with the keystep.

[@Almanacs]

Interesting process. Thanks for sharing and please do more

[@natbaldino6497]

Please post your modules!

[@indiefilmcomposer]

I hear what sounds like lofi junky, but I don’t see one, is magneto bending the notes in that fashion? Awesome patch.

[@rbeny]

indeed the magneto! can get into lofi junky territory with the longer delay times. lfj is something special tho
