While I enjoy the more complex patches you post, it is this type of tutorial/patch which gives spawn to ideas I can run with and not feel like "I have reached the end" as rapidly. Thank you for what I call the "more-in-depth-intermediate-patch-tutorial". Where learning how the module works and what it can do, while learning its integration with other modules becomes the focus. This is where learning really takes flight. Thanks Omri.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, with modules like this, it will only be confusing if the patch has too much going on...

[@chriskahn5727]

Agreed. It's easy to find beginner tutorials for synthesis. And it's easy to find people showing or building very complex patches. Difficult to find middle ground, so beginners can hit a plateau very quickly.

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Wow Omri, that was a fantastic tutorial on Tides, the best I've seen out there! It really gave me a whole new level of appreciation of an otherwise somewhat mystical module. Another genius module from Mutable for sure. It sounds like you've read the manual 😜 Thanks a bunch for putting in the time for this one, it was extremely helpful!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I really appreciate it Lars, thank you!

[@jamesdmorgan]

Thanks Omri, amazing video. Very insightful thanks

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nsrocker99]

Today I asked myself if someone has tried mimicking a Lightbath setup and I ran across this! Thanks so much for the tutorial, can’t wait to go through this.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hey, that's great, thanks so much!

[@nathanmulligan6065]

Thank you so much for putting the time to make such a good tutorial!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad it was helpful!

[@OllyV]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I've been digging around for stuff on tides, and there's not that much out there - your video is really well thought out and explained. I kind of knew it could do some very cool things, but hadn't worked out all the stuff you go through. Really appreciate it :)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad I could help! Thank you!

[@mpingo91]

T-OOOOO-DAY - one of the most interesting modules I consider to get in hardware version. Thanks! 😃

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, it's a nice one!

[@HarryFullerCT]

This was great thanks. I remember building the Loom 4 in VCV before I had any of the actual hardware modules. So much fun I had to get the hardware versions.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@ringandtones]

Fantastic tutorial. I have learned so much about MI modules.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

[@mysticvirgo9318]

OOohhh! Now I understand tides 2018!! thanks, Omri!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@ricjenner1120]

Thank you for posting this. I've been trying to decide on which Tides version to buy, but after seeing the lightbath patch and the firmware options of the original I am going to have to just buy both. Love your tutorials and you passion for the music/tech.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad I could help! Thanks!

[@t9h3m]

Amazing and thorough tutorial, thank you so much.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!

[@antoinekerglonou1546]

That tutorial is amazing, very nice work. Thank you sir !

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@brianreilly6545]

Awesome tutorial, thx!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@franciscoraupp]

Amazing tutorial. Thanks, Omri!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you!

[@AliA-kj6cv]

> Really slow L-F-O lol Amazing, as always, Mr. Cohen! Thank you very much!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I'm happy you liked it! Thanks!

[@dietervoser4425]

very good tutorial !!!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks a lot!

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

This incredible. Are you able to put out a modular patch for ambient with marbles-rings-plaits-beads-tides? lol perhaps with Morphagene?

[@Schall-und-Rauch]

Thank you very much, will send some spores on Patreon for sure :-)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you! :)

[@crocacrola]

Finally i know How To use it. Thank you

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@discophone_6214]

Great great tutorial once again

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you!

[@koma2000music]

Another amazing tutorial Omri, thank you! I wanted to see what all the fuss is about with Tides, and this video was so inspiring, I'll be spending months learning about and experimenting with Tides after this! Many many great tips here (my favourite ones were making polyrhythms using synced LFOs with different frequency ratios, and then using Tides in oscillator mode with multiple outputs and all the sonic possibilities that creates). And I even learned something new about Marbles, that you can use it to generate random gates with random lengths by turning the spread knob fully cw, how did I never think of that before? 😅

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hey man, I'm really happy you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@koma2000music]

@@OmriCohen-Music Of course! thank you! It is a really well thought out tutorial, and an amazing module!

[@JustinC905]

Thanks for the video. Really interesting. Giving me ideas. :D

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@CinematicLaboratory]

I have this module for over a year now, but to my shame I now beginning to realize how it works. Always used the slow LFO's until now.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Oh yes, it can do so many things... I really like it as an oscillator with all the timbre control, it's really nice.

[@nathanbryers]

Awesome 👍🏼

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@bobbfett.musiclab]

Great tutorial

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

that was really interesting, thx

Thank you, Wim!

[@fredericdeleporte2239]

What a job! Not the easiest module to present...

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks! Yeah, it took me a whole day to only think how to approach this...

[@TomLeg]

Seems to me output 3 is "not attack" and output 4 is "not release"

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, I guess that it's more or less the same, but in the manual it says 'end of attack' and 'end of release' so I thought it will be good to stick to those terms.

[@TomLeg]

@@OmriCohen-Music Hah .... I heard it as AND of attack :-)

[@shaikothman3135]

I tried to replicate this series when lightbath coneout with the series. Can you help in details with Loom 2 with Marbles..i think most of us would appreciate it.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I will have a look :)

[@matt42hughes]

Mutable Instrument modules seem very complex. Lots of different modes, hidden functionalities on the same knobs... and you just have to know what's going on. Very interesting and unique modules but they definitely don't seem intuitive.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Well, I guess that each module is a sort of an instrument by itself so there's a need to learn the different functions and practice with it. In the VCV world that can be hard to do since there's so much to play with, but I guess that if you have the hardware version, you can have lots of nice moments with them.

[@xTheOxx]

Would you say this module does something significant that Maths or Rampage can't do? Seems like they do pretty much the same things, but through totally different methods. Is the time spent exploring this module really worth it if I'm already familiar with Rampage?

[@GreifiSilmar]

Unless I missed something, you can't clock Rampage. That's a pretty significant difference if that's a feature you like and use.

[@xTheOxx]

@@GreifiSilmar Yes, you can clock Rampage on either of the two sides by using the trigger inputs and turning off the cycling switches. Rampage took me a while to get, and I think Tides might be a more simple way to achieve the same results, but I'll be damned if I let all the hours I spent fiddling with Rampage go to waste!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Well, Tides has 4 outputs instead of 2 like on Rampage (I'm not really familiar with Maths yet), and it has the different output modes that can create interesting results like different phases of the same signal and such. If I would not be using VCV and had the space for it, I would get both Rampage and Tides. With Rampage, you have separate controls for each function, you can use it as a wave shaper and distortion. So yes, they are maybe the same in a way, but I would still use both in a patch.

[@HarryFullerCT]

Not to be overlooked is Tides ability to give you chords.

[@GreifiSilmar]

@@xTheOxx well, that's just triggering Rampage from a clock, what I'm talking about is having your rise and fall times to be multiples or divides of a master clock.

[@xorthontech]

What is that thin module with several outputs on the top left with the trigger button? I don't see that anywhere in my library. Who is it made by and I don't see a trigger list in the drop-down menu. I have version 1.1.6.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

It's called Manual and it's from the BogAudio collection.

[@xorthontech]

@@OmriCohen-Music thank you. I'm trying to set up the patch that you had in the first half of the video where you were getting all those generative sounds
