Most Underrated LFO Module // Clep Diaz Overview

Yes i said it, LFO of the year... even though it came out in 2017!
I think this is the most underrated eurorack module ever. Why doesn't everyone have one these?

13:18 the essence of this video

[@placidesulfurik]

I was vibing so hard during this demo. Every time you went "oof", I felt that.

[@SchugarSchugar]

Just revisited this video! Still so useful!!! ❤❤❤ thank you!!

[@Microwaved_Nachos]

Bought the Cd because of this video, and every day it justifies the purchase more and more in my setup.

[@luma345]

9:50 was insane to me. Something about that deep sub with those tiny mouth-like pops really got me grooving. Awesome video!

[@mrcwalker33]

I enjoy your modular videos a lot and love that you focus on stuff that might fly under the radar for most people. I did not know how cool CD was until this video!

[@davidleemyers7628]

Thank you Ricky, one of the very best vids of its kind, so clear and instructive while just having a good time. I just ordered two CDs myself!

[@doctorauxiliary]

thanks much, enrique. this was really helpful shizz.

[@halberkstresser]

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST LFO MODULAR

[@MrElectroduck]

that patch sounds quite a bit like a dfam by moog - really love your videos keep up the dopeness!

[@dariusmorgan8302]

Dude, I just got it in today! All because of you and this video! What a great module and i was hurtin for LFOs before. Thanks for all the great content. You've helped me get into modular and feel comfortable doing it.

[@whikidazz]

That’s how you open a wormhole! Pretty sick bro!

[@caydilemma3309]

It’s insane how much functionality Noise packs into basically no HP.

[@jeanbonnefoy1377]

just needs tinny-weeny fingers! Dreaming of seeing them manufacturing the whole range in 5U for old mooghead geezers as yours truly

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@jeanbonnefoy1377 yeah I have fat fingers not sure if the tiny modules work for me. Same with the Erica Pico Synth modules. Guess big case is way to go for me.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Thanks for this video! I got bitten by the NE bug recently, had no idea what the Clep Diaz was about and I was absolutely unaware it could complement Maths and Stages.

[@athaphian]

That beat at 13:30.. NICE! Can listen to that for a long time. I’ve got the BIA, ordered a Clep, can’t wait for this madness.

[@eqz666]

9:18 sounds so insane!

[@madguy228]

You managed to make a gabber kick and acid bass out of a single voice, that’s impressive

[@SuperPedalhead]

Love this module! Took me a while to fully understand it but once I did it's endless fun. The BOC and CV mute features are ace! Pairs well with the Worng Vector Space. Nice to see you covering this Enrique

[@jgoney]

Since you're into that WMD filter, you might also enjoy their DPLR delay for your small case. Great sounding stereo delay in 4hp, with some cool added features. Takes modulation really well. 👍🏻

[@mrotaveria]

strangely, this video sold me the BIA :)

[@ayaaum123]

nailed that at 13.30 cuz

[@WolfgangDelToro]

I love your videos! It’s like hanging out with a friend. Thanks!

[@mrcwalker33]

Got this module just because of this video and I AM LOVING IT!!! However, after playing around with it, it feels more like a function to me than a LFO, haha ^^ So flexible!

[@ptngptng]

ricky vs my skepticism ➡ 1 : 0. bravo, master!

[@valeriegrey8328]

i can’t stop watching these vids! i love how you get sucked into the synth 🤣 very relatable

[@fakshen1973]

Ricky, man... try this... get your hands on a Temps Utile and a Noise Engineering Mimetic Digitalis. Set up the Temps Utile to give you a few channels of Euclidean gates, resets, and even logic based on comparing two Euclidean gates. Between those two modules is 18HP of rack space. But the modulation capabilities are insane, especially if you keep what you have in this skiff. I love Euclideans and other schemes like that because I can concentrate on relationships rather than programming in specific rhythmic patterns.

[@RickyTinez]

Whoa.. thank you for all this information! I'll check this out now. A lot of people mention the mimetic digitalis

[@AntonNidhoggr]

Digitalis definitely worths the money. It’s not just a sequencer but more like a 4 layer voltage matrix where you can go where you please, as soon as you have enough triggers :)

[@konstantine8054]

@@RickyTinez It's an easy to set chord progression module. Definitely worth your time. Also, missed opportunity in your patch: feed the CD back to control the clock rate. When you immerse yourself in the world of feedback patching you'll go wild!

[@toonertik]

@@RickyTinez Just seen your minimal modular vid.... now you know why we love that MD... ;)))) and pair well with a CD.. or 2>>> greedy :P

[@ndubb100]

Really want to hear a jam sesh with these modules... sounds rad

[@reheller]

Awesome modulatrix :-) I finally need to put my CD to work. Love how you work the BIA which is another real golden module!

[@strongocho]

This is actually my favorite module in my case right now. I like to use it with a filter so make a kind of pad out of the resonance self oscillation over like 4-8 bars. The reset input is what makes this thing a beast imo.

[@ekoboydj]

does it need a clock in order to work?

[@strongocho]

@@ekoboydj yeah, I use a clock divider so I can change the rate.

[@nickjones5641]

Totally agree about NE and not digging the sound sources, but the modulation sources and utility modules are some of the best. I keep buying more of their stuff.

[@MatheusLeston]

This MMF filter sounds amazing with the BIA! Might get one to to exactly that.

[@simondanielssonmusic]

You could kind of almost play a whole gig with just this little box.

[@RickyTinez]

Yep! I’ve somehow came across entire beats with just 2 LFOs and a single voice

[@ChuckLeone]

That’s what makes the BIA so amazing!

[@fecktoph]

Still one of my favourite vids,and wondering why i waited so long to get Clep Diaz into my rack .i must be crazy !

[@derecwilsom4546]

i have a pavlovian response to your voice, every time i hear it I want to buy things

[@gay_milhouse1160]

Agreed about NE cv modules. They’re so interesting and good. Personally I jive with their voice modules, but have a bunch of their stuff in my system.

[@samuelswartz7249]

8:59 oh God damn! when you find a sound that hit juuuust right.

[@weepwow]

Proving once again, less is more. Great stuff. Thanks

[@joshuabpolys]

Awesome!

[@modularcuriosity]

I totally agree with your view on Noise Engineering modules. They seem overwhelming and weird. But with some research you can find some real gems in there. It's just that the benefits of some of there modules are not immediately obvious.

[@andrewnancarrow]

And they are aesthetically ugly bordering on childish in terms of design. Super confusing looking, and just plain ugly which is what keeps me from buying them

[@wackenthaljef]

Very useful,thank you from France.

[@PaulJBurns]

Bubblesound uLFO - Shaped sine. Thanks for the excellent videos.

[@TOMLEW1S]

Dude. Mimentic digitalis. Get one, best modulation source / sequencer I've ever used.

[@yawevans8398]

I just brought one of these thanks to this! 😁

[@UncleBoogieRF]

Didn’t understand a lot of that but still awesome.

[@cold_fashioned]

Man! That little box you have looks like a lot of fun. Makes me wish I had seen this when I was still doing Eurorack. I was so aimless and lost when it came to putting my case together. Eventually grew frustrated and sold it all.

[@cellrok]

Look into Ornament & Crime 8HP. There is a custom firmware called "Benisphere" that includes Clep Diaz and Mimetic Digitalis, just virtual and you can mix and match 2 instances on a single o_c module. I have 2x O_C in my case now and they cost about as much as a single Clep Diaz. Better value, cause they have 30+ other interesting modes to play with if you wanna do something else.

[@madamelagent8520]

I came to the comments section to say this

[@PatrickOBrien]

Agree! Great lil module that crushes!

[@seanchud]

It's funny, I was going to actually suggest he check out your LIP brass patch if he hadn't already.

[@christofferainek]

Man, this just sounds too good! 👌

[@slymind4919]

Too damn cool... I may just have to build a...

[@hyderhydra3269]

really cool

[@felixcato8811]

Dope as usual! Can you make a video about setting up a modular setup for beginners?

[@brianobush]

His compact creation videos are spot-on for a beginning setup.

[@kellymerrill5294]

Pretty sure it’s in the Guinness book for most underrated LFO

[@wishbonebrewery]

I basically bought one on the strength of this vid, loving it :)

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Sold.

[@BaileyHeredge]

that's some squelchy goodness

[@cybermortal1983]

ah holy wow at 10:15 absolutely crazy.

[@keudj]

killer little config

[@chancemcniff927]

13:28 is Bosssss

[@nodfactor8808]

Pretty sick, dude!

[@BlackMan614]

Bought the module based on this video. Only regret... I don't have 2!!

[@arbeitmachtfries]

I want to learn how to do this.

[@quantum_ocean]

just wait until you discover Mimetic Digitalis and Lapsus Os

[@RickyTinez]

Hahaha. That’s me nowadays!!

[@wishbonebrewery]

funky.

[@DCBMusic]

1:35 I kept thinking my Facebook window was bugging out lmao

[@DirtleTilbury]

Very interesting

[@sbontheswitches]

So dope!

[@stickymeat88]

Gettin an early kraftwerk feel with this. Whatta beaut.

[@rudegunz]

me got it too (clep diaz)

[@inevitablecraftslab]

awesome, i have got 8HP of space left in my micro-setup and was about to order the doepfer A-145-4

[@toonertik]

I hope you went for this module... as demonstrated here, it's fantastic...I use mine if every patch... multed, attenuated and switched... modulating many things .. make 'em work for you... ;))))

[@inevitablecraftslab]

@@toonertik i am thinking about it, just bought plaits and radiomusic, gotta wait a bit to throw more money out :) the doepfer is 4 LFOs, vs one but a nice one ...

[@toonertik]

@@inevitablecraftslab It's always a juggling act.. money out for value in.. :)

[@inevitablecraftslab]

@@toonertik also space is a problem, i built a very very small rig, its just 59HP wide, so 1 cool LFOs or 4 plain LFOs ...

[@toonertik]

@@inevitablecraftslab oh yes... the space problem... definitely 4 LFOs in that CASE... cool one in the next CASE... haha ;)

[@Kkidzz]

...into Magneto :)

[@Dygerster]

damn son

[@jeffhammel4305]

about 11:30...that's what I like to hear !

[@Justicefu]

haha nice video editing skillzzzz flex on the outro =)

[@AntonNidhoggr]

I have only a single NE module in my system - Mimetic Digitalis sequencer. Damn, it’s so deep! But sadly it is also quite power hungry, so I’m struggling using it i my powerbank friendly setup.

[@matyas555]

The video is not about the LFO aspect of the module but the CV seq part. Which is fine, because as an LFO it not interesting. It is interesting when used as a tiny step CV seq.

[@shakeyshapeshifter]

Fresh trim my man

[@michaelmazochi]

Yo Ricky you should check out the Cursus of you want to try the less harsh NI sound sources. It can be pretty subtle and sweet.

[@BurkhardusX]

Clep Diaz is doing the same like Pamela’s workout, right? But Pamela’s workout is doing 8 times more than the Clep Diaz, right?

[@MrJLouisS]

I thought the red stackable was blurry because it was oscillating

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

What case/power and modules are you using? Love your compact modular setups! Can you link your setups to modular grid for us? So inspiring.Question: why are you using two Clep Dias LFOs?

[@eddraper]

Cool!

[@damiansalza7297]

So looks great, Love your vids. One thing I am confused about is what exactly the step buttons are for?

[@audeon_visual]

9:04 did u just curse bro?? I did not expect that.

[@nickhem12]

Trying to decide between a nano rand or one of these. Like the price of these way more.

[@PandaPotPies]

Someone should make a stepped lfo with random vibrato steps that are wavy flat parts

[@12copablo]

Hey, great video! What case are you using!? It's great, so tinny!

[@RickyTinez]

It’s the Erica synths Pico case

[@bengoldberger1113]

Hi Ricky, great video! Does it remember your length selection on power cycles or do you start from scratch?

[@DKAS-g4h]

I imagine it will work great paired with quantizer

[@RickyTinez]

Insanely well

[@wesleyleigh4063]

so it's just a really simple compact sequencer that can also render CV or gates?

[@naisammon4986]

This should be called “ The KZbinr most desperate for free shit from Noise Engineering “

[@geocache66today]

Great LFO, well it would be if it wasn’t for the TINRS Wobbler.

[@danimal818]

Dude

[@thomasgrobner1567]

Which screws do you use? 😅

[@Jormaleena-k7i]

Really cool video, love these tiny boxes with endless possibilities. Btw, what 2 hp module is that far right? Preamp, some line level module?

[@RickyTinez]

Headphone out. Called HPO by ALM

[@Jormaleena-k7i]

Thanks a lot!

[@drtytech9885]

ok 10 minutes in is amazing. how much is what you got there all together? looking to build my first rack. just a small one and this sounds amazing!!!! cheers in advance.

[@brianobush]

That case with modules is over a thousand. I would start with a case, a voice (Like BIA that Ricky has), clep diaz for modulation and maybe a filter. Just tweak and enjoy the process. You can get a lot of good deals finding this stuff used; see Reverb and look for good sellers.

[@PCHSwS]

Love it! Which case are you using?

[@RickyTinez]

Erica synths Pico case

[@johnrichardson3297]

Ricky Tinez, better than Yorick Tech LFE?

[@LittleMusicBoxes]

Would you have to put this through a quantizer to make it work with other sounds? Is there any way to set the scale, or root note?

[@brianobush]

No scales

[@City2x]

Ricky, is that the 4ms pod48 case? What module are you sending audio out the with?

[@RickyTinez]

HPO is output in this video. And it’s the Erica synths Pico Case

[@symbiat0]

Would love to know who makes that cute case ?

[@massimookissed1023]

It's an Erica Synths Pico case. 42hp
