My Top 5 Algorithms on the Happy Nerding FX Aid!

I feel like the Happy Nerding FX Aid doesn't get enough love. In today's video I am exploring my favourite algorithms and using them to make music! The beauty of this module is that new effects are always being added, so hopefully I'll be back again in future with another top 5 vid!

Perfect timing - I just picked up an FX Aid XL :-) Great video as always.

[@Phazerville]

Ahhh these are precisely the recommendations I needed! 🤓 FX Aid is so powerful 💪🏻

[@TheUnperson]

It is ~ there’s so much to explore! ☺️

[@Jaimison]

Always enjoy your videos. I learn so much!

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! ☺️

[@Dekkie61]

Dear freaking god, that last bit with the dual pitch shifter (after you take the beat out) is absolutely gorgeous...

[@TheUnperson]

Haha I liked that bit too! ☺️

[@dankeplace]

Thx 1stly for adding the ducking when you speak, it just makes things clearer. Love the fact this is all made by 3 instruments that are possibly smaller than an average synth, but you get so much more variations of sound due to the nature of the devices. I do have some large synths, but I prefer smaller more impacting devices that just take up less real estate. My ole saying, if it's within arms reach, it's playable. Love this btw.

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! I like smaller synths too ~ can only fit so much on my table and carrying gear to gigs is a lot easier too lol

[@vertigev]

I love my FX Aid, need to check these out. Also those drums sound really good!

[@TheUnperson]

Definitely one of my favourite modules! Thank you ☺️

[@davidsattar]

Damn! Music starting at 19:50min is insane nice vibe!!

[@TheUnperson]

I like that one too ☺️

[@EdEditz]

A very timely video because I just got my FX Aid XL last week. I love experimenting with it. You can even use it as a drum module!

[@TheUnperson]

I haven’t tried that yet! Gonna try it out ☺️

[@earlsfield]

@@TheUnperson Honestly this module asks for another one to be bought!. I have 4 banks split into reverbs, delays, random effects and utilities. It can do really decent 808 stuff, it can oscillate, the ever - expanding library of effects is amazing. Have you tried out grey hole reverb? Obvious origin of inspiration, really cool.

[@untartelette7545]

I'd kinda written it off as a bread-and-butter boring unit, but it's actually pretty wild. Great demo as always!

[@TheUnperson]

Yea it can absolutely do some crazy stuff!!

[@Robert_Babicz]

always a inspiration , thank you

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers man!

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Really well done - Subbed! 😁👊

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! ☺️

[@locavoremusic3680]

looooove the freeze jam!

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you fella!

[@JosephElsherbini]

That freeze mode is gnarly! Any one of The Generation Lost and Blackhole reverb alone would be worth the HP and money - having 32 different effects out of 200 possible is madness with this quality.

[@TheUnperson]

Agreed! I really enjoyed the Grains algorithm too ~ gonna be using that a lot more!

[@SONWU]

Great video, as usual! One thing I noticed…I think the Generation Lost effect is sample rate reduction rather than bitcrushing. At least that's what it sounds like to me :)

[@TheUnperson]

Ahh yes that makes more sense! Thank you ☺️

[@Coldmicrowavepizzaclub]

Nice channel and video, now I crave a FX aid! Your accent reminds me a lot of the Arab Strap singer accent

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! They are from a town quite near to me ☺️

[@modularbias]

Great vid 👏

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you :)

[@PascalMourier]

Very nice dive into Fx Aid effect ! I do run 2 of those in my setup ;) Question : do you send mono signal from the OP-1 into you eurorack input ? If yes, do you use a specific parameter on the OP-1 to send mono only ? Thx !

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! I just use a mono cable. There isn’t a great deal of stereo in the op1 anyway tbh. You can pan things but that’s about it. That’s why I’d love an op1 field.. but could buy a car for that price lol

[@willswitchcraft]

awesome upload.................................................................very well presented....................

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! ☺️

[@rodrigospacecraft_]

Another excellent video, thanks for this! I use FXAid on everything, but the way all the algorithms are copies of other devices makes me feel a little guilty :-).

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! I can say I’ve never felt any guilt at all lol

[@THARTHURs.THOUNDS]

It really blows my mind, how much is packed in these 4hp. Can’t wait to get mine

[@TheUnperson]

Incredibly powerful tiny module!

[@loreleihacking7545]

hey, love the vid. where is your case from btw?

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! It was handmade by a friend of mine :)

[@chambre466]

yep

[@EstroeRoozendaal]

Bedankt

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you ☺️

[@kentinjivek]

20:11 👌🏻💯

[@joeymc5272]

I see you using the op-1 quite a lot. You have any chance to use the deluge by chance? Been curious about the field but the price is ridiculous and it really looks like a toy tbh lol no offense

[@TheUnperson]

I’ve never tried the deluge ~ just watched a video and it looks amazing. I would love the op1 field but the price is insane. Gonna buy a car instead lol

[@scottadams7820]

YesFX!

[@TheUnperson]

Haha yes indeed!

[@Anarchosyn]

If you don’t mind the inquiry, what microphone are you using here?

[@TheUnperson]

Not at all ~ it’s a Rode NT1-A :)

[@LordoftheBadgers]

The only problem with an Fx Aid is that it's not TWO fx aids! Essential module ❤

[@TheUnperson]

Haha agreed! I really want the FX Aid Pro next ☺️

[@linewizard]

ahhh.. the fx aid. if i can get one can i? and will i?

[@TheUnperson]

If you can, you should ☺️

[@linewizard]
