Melody & Chord Progression Generator

[@RedMeansRecording]

This is really rad

[@suturesound]

😘

[@4ToMiCoR4Ng3]

Wonderful Patch 👍. I'm very pleased to have found your patch on this channel, Andrew.

[@joelkulesha8284]

I love modular in general but I gotta say the art and panel designs on eurorack are unparalleled. This rack is so pretty! Like Aurora 😍

[@suturesound]

Aurora is gorgeous with the way they did those lights!

[@snoogllies]

I love all of shakmat's modules. They're all so deep in scope but super playable and compact!

[@ShakmatModular]

Thank you for writing this as it is exactly the goal w try to achieve!

[@Data1457]

That's what they where designed for ! I own 4 knights gallops and i doubt any trigger generator can compete with them !

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

@@ShakmatModular I’ll definitely subscribe to you! Really new and unique! At this point, coming up with something this exciting must be challenging! Well done! 🎉

[@krysidian]

Modular really feels like magic while looking like a spaceship, the best combo. And this is another patch I could listen to for hours!

[@jamisonpickerill4256]

One of the coolest generative music breakdowns. Sounds fantastic as well.

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

Not a wasted unit. That’s super satisfying. Great choices. I don’t think to use so many fx but it’s a treat. Great stuff

[@suturesound]

Oh man I associate you so much with fx though haha. Prime Time on everything??? 😄

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

ha. I suppose you're right! AMS, time modulator, Infernal machine, Prime time, H3000. My 80s roots! lol I just need to shrink them to euro size :)

[@alexmeeres5072]

Thank you for this fantastic walkthrough, and also the beautiful and mysterious finished music.

[@p166sux]

Was listening to this in the background for a moment but had to check back in because I was wondering why a module would be named "Night Scallop" .... now I get it lol

[@suturesound]

Haha sounds like a great module

[@lefunghi6151]

Your modular videos always bring me joy. Had to disassemble my system and only the case is left by now. Itching to get back into Modular with a fresh approach sometime!

[@bastlinstruments]

❤❤❤❤ oh wow

[@kritischparken]

always love to see a new upload on this channel:)

[@traviedoodle]

Never knew a Plonk could sound so much like a cello!

[@DivKid]

A mix of random and repetitive with unsynced modulation shifting things around - always nice!

[@67to94]

Watching this while eating chia pudding thanks Andrew! 👌🏻

[@turbotambourine]

Ooooh love the patch! Nicely timed! Definitely looking at the Bard Quartet for the harmony function.

[@ritec]

Modular is amazing 🤩 great patch Andrew.

[@JohnLukich]

Noise Plethora wants to get involved!

[@robbed_copy]

Love these patch breakdowns! As always, im very inspired

[@StefanCreates]

Can we get a 20 minute video of this one? Would love to listen to this longer

[@ChasMusic]

It amazes me how you can keep track of all this and sequence a pathway through all these devices so that cool sounds come out.

[@suturesound]

Well you always go one cable at a time!

[@kdsf12]

Waiting to hear back from them. "My academic background is music theory and composition. I think of -and use- modular synthesis in an orchestral manner. However, I do not “generally” write diatonic music. As much as we all hate labels, I write “neo-serial primitivism” (the twelve-tone serialism of Schoenberg , the rhythm and ostinati of Stravinsky, combined). The Bard Quartet interests me. I have a few questions: 1) • “User editable microtuning capabilities”. “it includes highly customisable Microtuning and Arpeggiator options”. I take this to mean I can take a series of pitches and detune certain notes to be quarter tones. Eg. C ¼ sharp. Do I understand this correctly? Can I do that? I would like to explore Arabic Maqam(s). Is this possible? 2) “The Bard Quartet composes and sings along with your complex harmonies!” I understand this to mean that I may take a tetrachord (a collection of 4 non-diatonic pitches) and have it “navigate through 8 customisable harmonic progressions”. Eg. C,E flat, E natural, F sharp -- E, G, Gsharp, A sharp -- B, D, D sharp, F natural. Do I have this right? Can I do that?

[@patchingpanda]

Super interesting patch! 👌

[@aLiquidReality]

do you have a video where the music just plays with no voice. would love to zone out to a long form version of this patch!

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Yes! Same!

[@TheOneVictor]

This patch minus the ascending and descending melody would be awesome for background music.

[@FairuzOsman]

Sick!

[@bcornels]

oh I am close to first. Thanks as always Andrew!

[@unconcernedsalad2]

love this

[@conk971]

great explanation. thanks!

[@karlklee9418]

Ohhh it sounds so good after hearing Sams new Sausage- Synthesizer …

[@kleeo1991]

At 7:21 the bells decided that they would play Moonlight Sonata kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3iydmatZ7-IqLM Honestly, I could probably be listening to bass+bells progression evolving for hours

[@second-ratemachine]

Dude, how have you managed to tune the 2HP Bell and C&P with each other and your other voices in this patch?

[@suturesound]

Just by ear

[@second-ratemachine]

@@suturesound Thank you for the reply. I find the tiny pots near impossible for specific tunings. It's good to know it's possible though.

[@PebsBeans]

why does it honestly sound like a viola/cello at times

[@bcornels]

Plonk is a physical modeling module so it’s probably exciting a string type thing in that example

[@PebsBeans]

@@bcornels interesting, also I checked out some of your music and I dig the weirdness

[@bcornels]

@@PebsBeans oh thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed

[@Speechrezz]

the chord progression reminds me of something out of Portal 2

[@LeoPerantoni]

NICE

[@SonicVibe]

Insane

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

I’m imagining having each panel fed into an AI computer to see what it would come up with! Probably millions of possible patches!

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Alright this eurorack case's puzzle was solved, time to put it on the shelf and build a new one! 🙂

[@DinorrificMusic]

That stack of stackcables on the clock is giving me so much anxiety right now

[@suturesound]

4 IS MY MAX

[@zairadile]

@@suturesound Makes me wonder if there are any modules whose sole purpose is to multiplex one input to multiple outs just so you don't *have* to stack 'em!

[@dmcgee7571]

@@zairadile Yeah, somebody should design something like that. 😇 Kidding on ya…. They exist. Called a multiple.
