Modular System VS Vermona Perfourmer MKii

Lately I have been thinking a lot on how different setups can influence the outcome of your music. Spawned from an hater comment, this video is not gonna tell you what is best, but how you can find inspiration in different workflows. There is not a right way to use a tool, only the one that serves you in a precise frame of time.
..and don't listen to the haters :)

Great to see the OXI as part of this setup. Love the layering of those melodies 😍

[@OoraMusic]

Thank you 🙌

[@HIFI1965]

@OoraMusic - I normally watch the entire video before I make any comment, but I had to pause it to make this. What a healthy approach to haters. I was there, and saw it go down. I will tell you straight out - your best stuff is when you talk about THE CRAFT of making music. All gear will come and go - finding your voice is the challenge of a musician. I don't care what setup or what gear you are using. Talk about art. This video is awesome and I'm not even all the way through it.

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks for your kind words. Messages like this one make me want to do more videos!

[@H_ologramic]

"listen to the dull and ignorant, they too have their story" While the genius' may be wrong it's great to see you turn their polemics into insight and observation! Lovely work as ever 👍

[@OoraMusic]

thanks! I try to get positive outcome ( doesn't work all the time tho )

[@fosburybob3469]

What a nice plot twist in this one - a hater comment triggers a deeply inspiring video with beautiful sounds. That‘s the way to respond to a know-it-all. 👏

[@OoraMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vvcv__00]

Exactly, I got a nice giggle from Oora's positive attitude towards the mentioned viewer/comment. Brilliantly placed, and professionally delivered satire, Oora!

[@Asyouwere]

Thank you for the music and the inspiration. In this video I thought I saw some sort of glitch, it said ‘offline’ I believe. I really like your new space, and you look better and happier in it too!

[@OoraMusic]

yeah is a render error, but at this point nothing I can do ahaha

[@geertmaertens7372]

Amazing and inspiring video - yes I also want to integrate modular in my own way. Be sure to remain sure of yourself and master and survive the YT environment - you're on the right track 😘

[@OoraMusic]

thanks!! really trying to stick to that!

[@goose_music]

Great video and music as always mate! Would love to see a bit more of how you're using the harmonic oscillator, got some lovely tones from it but I know it can do more and would love some inspo!

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks! Will do!Still learning it

[@LowGainElectronics]

Subliminal messaging in the beginning

[@OoraMusic]

ahaha not sure what happened there

[@bigbuttskinner]

Media offline

[@totalSLACK]

AMAZING message in the beginning. also, that's the BEST ive EVER heard the Perfourmer. secondly, I'm thinking the OxiOne kinda is a huge shift in modular controls? third, the Perfourmer is my dream synth. for now, I'll be using Behringer Pro-1 with Donner B1 sequencer. wompwomp

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks and good luck for your journey!

[@nagchumpalot]

Nice! The Sequential Pro 3 can do incredible stuff like this very very modular and best sequencer on any mono I love it..

[@OoraMusic]

need to try one I guess!

[@nagchumpalot]

I actually think you do.. Especially the sequencer part A lot of fun and deep.The SE edition is best fantastic build quality a real tank. If you have time go on my channel and check a video called " Morning Light" Synth Jam.. it is used heavily in this video and shows the sound well. Cheers@@OoraMusic

[@davidebaru7067]

Which modules between mimeophon and the expert spleepers? And between maths and atlantis?

[@krazywabbit]

Even the sun modulates. Genius response to the "genius hater" Always appreciate the message to have fun you share. Safe travels.

[@OoraMusic]

thanks for the kind words!

[@alexg8233]

I think there are several eurorack modules with photoresistors, so you can literally use sunlight as modulation source. Not sure how practical it would be, but just as a fun experiment.

[@SOOCMAG]

Nice work 🎉 I try to recreate your patch but I dont if I have all off the modular parts. You have a modular grid from your case?

[@OoraMusic]

not yet but I will do it

[@pau.vilella]

Amazing stuff Oora! May I ask what brand are the LED cables? They look alike the Analogue Solutions, but I’d say they are not exactly those 😊

[@OoraMusic]

those are MyVolts!

[@HIFI1965]

@ooramusic - If I may ask.. who is or was "Blue". If you don't want to discuss, I understand.

[@OoraMusic]

My father used to call me the equivalent of "little boy blue" when I was a kid. I was always melancholic and probably whine a lot. That's more or less the story :)

[@tendingtropic7778]

very nice video quality mate! what camera are you using here?

[@OoraMusic]

the top down are always an iPhone 12 max, the other shot are Sony A7v

[@matteotamborini9159]

Very curious fur Push 3 future plan and the interaction with the modular via expert sleepers adat converters. I have recently used the same type of setup (push 3 standalone with modular and external synths) and the result was that I passed to Bitwig after a long time with Ableton/push.

[@OoraMusic]

ahahha unexpected plot twist! No doubts Bitwig is amazing on modulations. My plan is more to create something that will facilitate my live shows. Let's see!

[@johnlemak4680]

Did you already sell the zahl console?

[@OoraMusic]

never! i share another studio where i do the mixing with the zahl

[@baconbigbeats]

Love your stuff bro! Don’t listen to the haters. Meanwhile slap a hologram Microcosm on your performer and you won’t need your DAW. One question though, how much was your euro vs mkii?

[@OoraMusic]

yeah I should use more the hologram! cost wise, you dont wanna know. I think that modular would be around 4k. Vermona is 1600 I think.

[@baconbigbeats]

@@OoraMusic well then. There’s your winner.

[@ionianechoes]

Is that the imitor firmware? It sounds like the desmodus. By the way I don't change my car everyday.

[@OoraMusic]

yes is the desmodus firmware actually!

[@neuzethmusic131]

Those slides and sequences... Federico Barbieri? 😝 Jokes aside, I enjoyed the video!

[@OoraMusic]

😂

[@citizenramirez]

Maybe the vermana in to the modular for fx and glichtness 😀

[@OoraMusic]

dont tempt me :)

[@petersirca223]

​@@OoraMusic a real shame that Per4mer does not have a good MIDI implementation - with it one could control everything (VCO, VCF, EG, VCA) over something like VCMC. As you say - we wait for MkII!

[@compucorder64]

I reckon if you are using Basimilus Iteritas Alter not that much, but love it when you do, then you might get more out of the Basimilus Iteritas Alia. Because I could imagine you getting plenty of use out of the other firmware, Manis Iteritas Alia, in particular, as a lead voice. And there's other firmware like Debel, Cursus, Ataraxic and Incus. And that could give you the different flavours you mentioned, but all from the same module. Though Piston Honda, and Synthesis Tech. e352 Cloud Terrarium are both amazing too; though physically big ... and expensive. Cloud mode on Cloud Terrarium is special sounding, DivKid's videos give a good idea of it's voice.

[@OoraMusic]

they are both on my radar... also alia seems like a great idea!

[@compucorder64]

​@@OoraMusic yes, think it's a great way of making a small eurorack very flexible. Especially if you are doing minimal music and would mainly have use for one voice Zoia euroburo too is a swiss army knife, or Lego set

[@synlfo7828]

Have you tried the Melodicer?

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

I wonder if we will see a perfourmer 3 any time soon. The poor midi-velocity sounds a bit discouraging

[@OoraMusic]

yea midi implementation is pretty bad...

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

@@OoraMusic what’s the main issue? are there any workarounds?

[@doomsday.tomato]

I got into eurorack because I wanted a more flexible perfourmer type setup. honestly I think I would have spent more time making music with the perfourmer, but I don't regret my choice

[@sector328]

I like complete eurorack voices, the Vermona is a very nice option, and is generally cheaper than a rack with 4 voices

[@OoraMusic]

i hear you brother

[@happylittlesynth]

No more studio console desk?

[@OoraMusic]

I have it in my other shared studio for mixing

[@g3cd]

You can built exactly what you want with a modular ... but you'll never get the same sound ever again since it doesn't have presets. And it will cost you your right arm and your firstborn. Some young guy at Superbooth last year looked lovingly at a wall of gear at Erica Synths and I told him "You will have to give up your girlfriend then. You can't afford both". His GF didn't like that 😂

[@OoraMusic]

ahahahah. it might be true , but take for example an artist like Caterina Barbieri. She is using the same system since ages. The hard part is contain yourself and not going on a buy spree. Which, yes, is really really hard :D

[@prinzbach]

Yes, you saw it right kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWLGZZWlid9sb68 > No, it's nothing. Great video!
