Hi there! You could make a similar sounding patch for FREE in VCV Rack. My first generative patch sounded like this.

[@lit2021]

@@shubhampaul7845 VCV rack is absolutely amazing! :D It's great for people who want to explore modular, but don't want to risk buying modules when they don't even know how it works and which modules would fit their purpose. However, having actual physical knobs gives you a different feeling. :D

[@lit2021]

Truly amazing soundscape! I'm getting into generative music, and I'm torn between getting one of the Behringer's synths, either Crave (Mother 32 clone) or Neutron, or maybe even Pro-1.. Which one do you think would suit my needs? Thx! :)

[@FUNKINETIK]

Hi… just wondering if you opted for any of the above?

[@lit2021]

@@FUNKINETIK I bought Crave, liked it, but very quickly figured that the patching options are too limited to get any kind of rich sound (don't expect rich bass), so I returned it and got an MS1 (Roland SH101 clone). I'm really satisfied with it! The sound is less squelchy than Crave's, but it's got more different waveforms and a suboscillator, and the sequencer is the same as on Crave, very simple to use. I combine it with Keystep to get two sequences running, basically the Keystep sequence transposes the MS1's sequence, so I get harmonic progressions. I still want to try out the Pro-1, though, just to satisfy my curiosity. Point is, the patching thing looks cool, but is not always necessary to get what you need!

[@KAYVEAUDIO]

Awesome patch man! I am having some issues with patching the random into tempo. After the first few triggers, the sequence just stops for some reason. If I move the tempo knob it will retrigger a few times again then just completely stop again. Any tips?

[@lilskullymane4057]

Kayve Audio make sure that little light over 8 is green and not red? green (8/random) is step 8 without holding shift. had the same issue and i was holding shift making it 16 which lights up red

[@jestertears4640]

Thanks a lot!! I am sure you don't have your assing output set to random! Check the manual: you just have to get in the setup Mode and on Page 1 choose option 8. Good luck!!

[@KAYVEAUDIO]

@@jestertears4640 Hey man, thanks for the help. I was on the right assign setting, but for some reason my tempo (page 3) was set to DIN sync. I set it back to CV input mode and it works perfectly now

[@jestertears4640]

@@KAYVEAUDIO great!!

[@darelbvcr687]

is that backing track behind and m32 on top of it? or every sound in this video is form m32?

[@jestertears4640]

Everything you hear comes out of the mother32. The large amount of reverb is making each note sound longer. So it's not a backing track, it's just the previous notes processed by the effect. Cheers!

[@DaGhost141]

This is not the raw output obviously, it's most likely run through something like a valhalla reverb in a DAW or pedal

[@kenjidrake7809]

How do you connect the mother 32 to an audio interface and play/record in sync with a daw like logic pro x?

[@Larry30102]

I just purchased a M32 due in part to the midi capabilities in use with a DAW. I don’t have it yet...So my 2c worth. I have a USB to converter box. Easy to use. Plug in the USB to your computer. Then get a 13 pin midi cable. Attach the midi out of the converter to the input on the M32. My PC identifies the box quickly. I use Cubase but it should work with Logic. Create a midi track in Logic. Assign the midi channel in Logic as it needs to be the same as the M32. The converter boxes can be had for ~$50. On the audio side, it appears for me any way, a 1/8” to 1/4” cable (or what ever you audio input is). Create a mono audio track in Logic assigned to that input. In Cubase I’m going to have a mono in, with stereo out so I can have stereo effects. That’s about it. Like I said, mine hasn’t arrived yet, but just looking at the vids on KZbin this configuration should open up a whole new world.

[@ScottLHines]

If it is truly self-generating, why is the sequencer running. I'm trying to learn.

[@jestertears4640]

You are right! The sequence itself is not self generative, but its tempo, and the diffeeent parameters of the sound (filter, resonance, LFOs....) are generated almost randomly with the connections I show in the description. Cheers!

[@ScottLHines]

Could you save patches ? How do you make sounds like this when is monophonic ?

Reverb is the key to have that "polyphonic" sound!! You cannot save patches, it is all done with the cables, but that's a good thing! It makes each session unique!

I am a beginner and recommended you on my channel

[@mark555241003e]

What do you mean by self generating?

[@jestertears4640]

The tempo and some parameters of the sound are generated randomly, so the synth is playing the sequence and "generating" the song as I just change some of those parameters tweaking the knobs :)

[@atlasglaas2575]

hmm... followed the patch notes. For some reason the sequence won’t play unless I manually hit run / stop over and over again. Any tips?

[@jestertears4640]

Maybe It is the Assign output, make sure It is set to "Sequencer step random"

Jester Tears I did. Still couldn’t get it to work for some reason, but I did patch in it into to GATE for some cool effects anyways 🤣

[@bulkheadz]

@@atlasglaas2575 i was having the same tempo input issue. it needs to be setup to accept CV. do this by putting your mother32 into setup mode, scroll to page three with the octave buttons and press 1 on the sequencer then exit. it works after that.

heyya i want to recreate this when i'm home, so above are you patches?

[@Manolobhbc]

I'm trying to reproduce this - well, you know, something similar - and though I've used the same patches, I can't seem to get a similar sound. Two questions, if you don't mind a look behind the curtain: how are you doing the swell in effect, and how are you doing the secondary voices? Is there another sound source playing? Or is that all due to the Studio One reverb?

[@danieldelapenagonzalez2163]

Hi!! All you need is a very long reverb. All those secondary voices are just the continuation of previous notes in the sequence, emulating this "chord" vibe. That reverb combined with a not too high cutoff and a high envelope attack create this round sound. I'm happy you got inspired by mi video! Feel free to ask me again if you need more help!

[@Manolobhbc]

Daniel de la Peña González Thank you for the additional info. Sorry it took me a while to reply, I've been out of the country this week. I've got more travel coming up for the next few weeks, but I'm looking forward to experimenting some more when I'm back in town for a while. And, actually, I've been looking at reverb units for a while, just trying to decide which to get, so this info will definitely push me to decide.

[@jestertears4640]

@@Manolobhbc Hi! Sorry, I answered you with my other account haah, that was me! As you can see, digital reverb works great and can be very cheap but in case you are looking for a good analog reverb, for me the Eventide Space is the best one for this kind of sound. Good luck!
