always love it when people get sounds out of my modules that I didn't even know were in there 😊😊😊

[@dragonstuff1983]

We need more modules from you!

[@smartassrecords]

@@dragonstuff1983 Agreed Vlad has super mojo for modules ... .

[@dragonstuff1983]

@@smartassrecords I don't know why the Quad Drum isn't bigger. It's the most versatile and feature packed module I've ever used.

[@smartassrecords]

@@dragonstuff1983 I agree it is a banging module , Vlad has a cool way to make these modules very user friendly too , I find his modules find their way into my live case quite fast .

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@dragonstuff1983 this and the BIA are superb for smaller sized percussion modules.

if there was fresh air on youtube it would be this channel

[@RedMeansRecording]

That's a great compliment thank u

[@afterthewar54]

I've had a QD for probably two months now, and this makes it really _really_ obvious that I'm significantly under utilizing it. Time to go explore it again, I think.

[@shawnc4957]

little late to this module but I got it today and I love it. thanks Jeremy for making this video !!!!!

[@AlexBarnes86]

Awesome video Jeremy! Just got my QD and excited to give it a spin :-) For reference: walkthrough tutorial starts at 6:17

[@illumin8us]

The stereo width of the beep boop is phenomenal...

[@256k_]

i was instantly in love with this as soon as i saw it the first time. such a cleaver design and i 100% believe that you could do a full live set playing with a minimal case with just this module and some sequencers

[@bobbfett.musiclab]

I want to like this tutorial a few times more. Luv it

[@h2g2guy]

Literally just said a day or two ago "there aren't enough good reviews of the QD; it looks really interesting from Jeremy's videos, but I'd love to actually hear what it can do" Good stuff man, I've got something to research now :)

[@256k_]

there's an awesome demo from modularsquare unfortunately it's in french so that's not great for some.

[@WillisZzz]

Absolutely ridiculous, right from the start (in the best way possible). This module has been on my want list since before I even knew about it.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I would love to pair this up with my Noise Engineering BIA and maybe get a Pamela Workout and Euclidian sequencer and have bass and drums covered. Pure techno bliss.

[@disastrousrobots]

What a great looking module, the sound is incredible!

[@dr.eville]

Wow this does a lot more than I thought.

[@TonydeKaro]

The lovely QD!

[@pulsedsignals7082]

Great Demo/Walkthrough of a great module. Thanks for this one! (to both Jeremy and Vladimir :))

[@TenThumbsProductions]

The legend grows.

[@realPhotoMocha]

Ace, thank you Jeremy

[@strophariusmusic]

My QD arrived yesterday, i'm so happy!

[@LombaxPieboy16]

Really liked this video, was super fun Jeremy!

[@FernandoDCDuarte]

Love Modular Mondays! Don’t understand most of it but I guess it’s a matter of time XD

[@mychucksaremagic]

Very jelly of that dark panel'd Varigate!

[@inf0tr8r]

thanks, still a good resource as not many videos on the topic :)

[@SorchaSublime]

when i saw an image of this on modular grid I thought that they were trying too hard to look like 4MS modules. but nah, I was wrong, they've outdone 4ms, the slightly bigger everything looks way better.

[@VeitchyVeitch]

Bonk, plink, blapp, boom. Nice.

[@paulriggs42]

Hi Jeremy, I hope you are having a great day, thanks for making my day better with your modular video.....

[@demitemudrin163]

damn, i need one! (boombap producer)

[@KiddsockTV]

these things make me drool. and i wish i understood how it works but it;s all just experimentation

[@tomnicholson1653]

Great stuff! Look out for the expander coming this autumn 2021 - two more outputs, so four in total (so per-voice outputs are possible :) ), four more CV inputs and some buttons ....

[@RedMeansRecording]

Omg what???? Hell yes

[@tomnicholson1653]

@@RedMeansRecording Indeed! vpme say it will be shown at Superbooth - I read it on muff/mod wiggler. Bring it on :)

[@tomnicholson1653]

@@RedMeansRecording Great videos, btw. You have helped my buy this and the Ensemble - thanks!

[@coreyostman]

Another inspiring video. Thank you!

[@maxtox3]

So funky stuff right there

[@modularnepl900]

Must have!

[@bobbfett.musiclab]

V/oct works, you just need to turn down the other modulation. I have a demo on my channel.

[@Barefoot_Joe]

The time on your watch is 808 :D

[@mrparksy]

Great review, love mine!

[@hmfddawg]

Great job!

[@hyprballads]

You didn't even show the wavetables :) Load the Plaits and Braids wavetable and bam, you have 4 at the time. And the CV can be quantized so it sort of does 1v/oct. I love this module a lot!

[@AntonyBailey77]

Purchased!!

[@vinylarchaeologist]

0:34 “we're gonna go over what makes it _tick_” -- haaa, I see what you did there 😅

Christ on a bike, this sounds good.

[@ekoboydj]

i was about to pick the rample after watching your video but then watched this one. QD it is..

[@gregbradshaw7220]

sounds so much more creamy and organic than queen of pentacles or black noir

[@igorsabara7438]

Your clock problems come from your Arturia. Use Pam's. It's the most stable clock out there.

[@djgocatgo]

sorry to see that the arturia clock is unstable… just last week found that out because Pam’s is quite picky when you want to send it an external clock. The Keystep pro is not up to snuff

[@SrgWy11]

brb gonna overthrow the government while listening to this jam

[@Josephkerr101]

That was... Unexpected. O.o

[@steletext]

Any luck? I checked outside my window and it seems same-ish out there

[@naught101]

@@Josephkerr101 I dunno, it's been coming since the 70s.

[@Tyler_Durden987]

Newb question about clocking here: Are you clocking from the Keystep Pro to the Varigate? But then how is Pams involved with this setup? Sorry, I'm new and have plenty of stupid questions.

[@BeniRoseMusic]

12:34 Wait, do you voice over your footage?? I always thought you were talking while patching!

[@lennyhamakerahto_leon3363]

Are you using the pico dsp or the black hole dsp? Just wondering as the pico has only a mono input but stereo out and black hole is stereo in and out. Love this video. Now I want one to pair with my varigate 8+.

[@happylittlesynth]

@5:48 you mention a stereo module...which module is it? I couldn't quite find it via google based on what i heard (spelling being the issue)

[@RedMeansRecording]

The qd has panning

[@TheHifiEnvelope]

Is loading samples on it a hassle? I read it was recommended to delete everything from the card then resave all of the folders every time you want to add something to prevent fragmenting.

[@metamyther]

I see you have the Rample as well, how does the Quad compare with it? Which do you like better and why? Have been looking at both.

[@johnm4498]

4 trig inputs, 4 CV inputs, 2 outs. Feels a bit lame to be pushed into buying an external add-on module just for 2 output jacks. There's panel space.

[@JohnTrasher]

Hey jeremy! Do you use the factory presets in the beginning? Or some of your own samples?

[@Bavinckovic]

Question, these samples that you demonstrate at 5:00 do they come included with the Quad Drum, or are they yours?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Likely mine

[@MrMaxthommes]

Hey! Great tutorial. I just tried for the first time to put samples on the card, but it seems like it cant find them. dont know how to handle that. it all wave files and i erased some of the ones that came with it, because it said it will find just 32 banks,... so now i m a bit lost... do have an idea what i do wrong? Best

[@znxster]

15:32 aren't sublimal messages meant to be sublimal?

[@sethsmith927]

pairs well w a befaco burst.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Saving up for this and larger case. I have the Euclidian Circles sequencer which would be great for this. How does this drum module compare to the Endorphin.es drum modules like Queen of Pentacles and Black Noire? I have Queen of Pentacles which does more but is larger and costs $200 more but has filter and onboard FX.

[@lennyhamakerahto_leon3363]

Just bought one. Eeeee

[@mrnymms]

This demo is great. Really want a quad drum. Also where did you get the black VG8 panel?

[@mntbighker]

So how does it compare to the Rample? Months later what is your preferred drum voice combo? I have a BIA, Plaits and uPeaks at the moment in the percussion case. And technically, my Nerdseq now has quite a lot of drum sample playback.

[@RedMeansRecording]

The qd still absolutely rocks

[@andirose]

How do you use this module in the context of ambient?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Load ambient sounds into it

[@andirose]

😂

[@oharaboy]

hey Jeremy! I was convinced by your vid to get a QD but I am having some trouble getting samples to be recognized on the memory card once I put it back in the unit. Have any insight?

[@Deep_Flux]

Same here.

[@JohnTrasher]

Same. But i didnt check if they have the correct filetype

[@TheNimasan]

jeremy, after spending some time with this modul, would you still recommend it??

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yes!!

[@TheNimasan]

@@RedMeansRecording if you say so ;-) it arrived today alongside magneto and disting ex! with the midi break out. i should be good now…. and very thankful of course.

Whats going on with your eurorack simon?

[@xorthontech]

Do the synth engines track 1v/oct. for sequences?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yes

[@medenine4828]

How would you compare to the drums from a disting ex, Jeremy?

[@Metro6am]

What are you using for sequencing? the Keystep pro? \

[@freefinancialadvice]

Vargate 8 is right next to it

[@alancalvitti]

-1 can you redo w/o fx?

[@JohnTrasher]

Do i need a VCA for this modul, or is one already inside?

[@JohnTrasher]

Thanks for the answer. Ofc no vca is needed... 😅

[@ayeland8202]

Whats the main thing you use to program the VPME's grooves

in this i think it was Varigate 8+

[@martijnsalomez4523]

Are these stock samples and sounds ?

[@RedMeansRecording]

In some cases yes. In some no.

[@martijnsalomez4523]

It all sounds extremely good anyway. This module seems really powerfull and versatile.

no volt per octave? sad face

It actually works, you just need to turn of all other modulation. I use it as a synth also:)
