This individual is what i consider exemplary as a real DJ. This person is the real deal.

[@SegaFrumentarii]

Oooh this makes me happier than the 0% down and low-APR financing on select vehicles at this week’s Capitol City Sign Then Drive event! Seriously, good stuff.

[@Junkbreed]

Man those voice-sequences at around 02:00 are super sick. you need more likes for real

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks!!

[@ronaldc8634]

very cool, nice skills

[@tidalwaveforms3813]

Take a picture of the patch they said. That way you can recreate it... :) Great set.

[@touiarrial5823]

Excellent work thanks for the inspiration! I am willing to start into modular world but maybe should go semi modular first (Dfam +M32? Dark energy)? Which drum machine (Jomox? Tanz)? Sequencer and sampler? This has to sound hard tek old school (Spiral/Cirkus Alien) and then I would add eurorack modules step by step. Any advice welcome!

[@OLANGALACTICA]

hi, it really depends on what you‘re comfortable with. but a semi modular synth combined with a drum machine is certainly a good idea. i‘d go for a 909 clone if i were you! cheers

[@martinmint1985]

I like this shit very much! The ending is great too! Thats the i want to go with my own modular setting. Very very nice in my opinion!!!

[@ocod0]

Love it! What module is making the stabby chord sounds?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks! it‘s a music thing modular chord organ through an erica pico vcf3

[@tomburnell7674]

Great set! How much of the sounds/melodic patterns are created on the fly? Do you take snapshots of the Turing machines and marbles melodies that you like before you start? What about the drum patterns? I presume you have some preprogrammed kick/hat patterns in the DrumSeq?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks! almost all the melodic patterns are created on the fly with the turing machines and marbles. due to the properties of the noise engineering sequencer, i sometimes reuse the 4 sequences i programmed there though, since i usually forget to save the state of the module before powering down. with marbles and the turing machines i start blank. most drum patterns are also from pattern- or random sequencers (turing machines etc). on the erica drum sequencer i have preprogrammed patterns for kick, hihat, chord stabs, erica pico sampler, rings and i can change them the common way by reprogramming or using the random step function on the fly

[@tomburnell7674]

@@OLANGALACTICA Do you use the trigger out from the marbles for melodic sequencing too? I don't find it to be that musical. Do you drive it from a regular clock or another sequencer? Which voices do you find work best for improv? It would seem that wide sweet-spot and simple control is best. I've been using Rings and BIA but find both a bit samey after a while. Got a modulargrid link?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

i use the erica drum seq as master clock. yes, i‘ve used the marble triggers. however, i‘ve ditched the marbles now and will be using another sequencer for my bass lines on the next video. i like all kinds of sequencers and voices that are hands-on. i hate menudiving when improvising and the only modules where i scroll through the menu from time to time to use different sounds are plonk and braids. also, although make noise make great modules sound-wise, i only use the ones i absolutely need. because their interfaces feel counter-intuitive to me. here‘s the modulargrid. it‘s a bit dated. it‘s the setup of video #12. www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/command_center/49480

[@wollewolljamin6363]

nice modulkar techno! what a kind of module is in left down corner with the 8 knobs? Your hands told me its very important ;) nice set

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks mate! it‘s two synthrotek/mst mixers! i have 8 different voices on there and thanks to these modules i can mute them with a flick of a switch

[@TheHoinoel]

Man I'm listening to this for the second time and it blows me away. Great job man! I am trying to build a similar modular setup (live performable) but I'm having a hard time getting variation to keep it interesting without it sounding like too whacky. i think it has to do with modulation and sequencing. Do you have any tips about this? :)

[@OLANGALACTICA]

hi, thanks! to keep my patches sounding ‚lively‘, i use the modulation outputs of my turing machines and tides to a certain degree. for example i sometimes modulate the ‚structure‘ input from Rings. But it really comes down to the mix. Having an analog mixer with cross-talking/cross-compression is great for keeping things moving. i use the WMD performance mixer.

[@TheHoinoel]

@@OLANGALACTICA thank you for sharing your wisdom :) I'm using the befaco hexmix, which is working well so far. I realized that I can use my disting to do compression on my kick and bass. One part I am still struggling with is the melodic sequencing. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and lean more music theory... anyways thank you for sharing. It inspired me to change some stuff in my system around :D

[@josephwright5140]

Seriously the best techno SET I've seen on a modular yet. Is that marbles upper right corner? How do you feel it lends itself to your performance and is this mostly improvised or carefully rehearsed?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks for the nice words! yep that‘s marbles! all my performances are fully improvised. nothing rehearsed in advance.

[@nvss613]

What is making that chord/stab at around 15 mins? gorgeous sound and overall killer performance

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks for the kind words! it‘s a music thing modular chord organ through an erica pico vcf3

Holy hell what an outro.

[@OLANGALACTICA]

yayyyy thanks ❤️

[@bradpruitt896]

Olan was made in Detroit!

[@mrgregsully]

nice... wel done :) where is most of your synth based CV pitch and fate sequencing coming from?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thx man! for cv sequences on this video i use: marbles, 2x turing machines, mimetic digitalis, modseq and sometimes the cv channel on erica drum seq. so it‘s coming from everywhere :)

[@jasonbarile2014]

@@OLANGALACTICA are you quantizing all those CV sources somewhere?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

Jason Barile nope, no quantization at all. our ears are the only quantization we need when it‘s just melodies

[@OLANGALACTICA]

yeah it‘s definitely the main drum sequencer and also the master clock

[@justinurra2718]

I thought I spied a mimetic! Im using one too along with numeric repetitor, turing machine, and 2 westlicht performers, one for drums and one for oscillators

[@quizakmusic2469]

Pretty good stuff! What’s the mixer u using on right side?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks! it‘s the wmd performance mixer. awesome (but expensive) module

[@mumblerocks77]

What the fuck this is amazing! Keep it up you'll be big if you stick with it!

[@TheUnknowKING]

question what modular can i use to prevent distortion between a oscillator and a granular modular ?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

hi. sorry, i don‘t fully understand your question. can you give me an example?

[@djfree5435]

Great, how do you make the vocal sounds?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

hi, i use the music thing modular radio music and the 4ms STS to play samples

[@RobHiness]

brother.

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

very dope what are you using for chord stabs at 20:49?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks! i‘m using the music thing modular chord organ going into an erica pico vcf3. the envelope is a MI peaks

[@nicolasdelaunay4329]

hello! You have deleted a really cool music with metropolis footage from you channel is it still possible to find it somewhere ? by the way really nice live!

[@OLANGALACTICA]

yep! and now it‘s back online thanks to you :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHe0fn-qdt2YrtU

[@DayflightTrok]

Very Good......but can you ever reconstruct your setup?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

yes since i know what goes where

[@jasonbarile2014]

What effect/module are you controlling with that ribbon strip thing on the bottom right?

[@OLANGALACTICA]

2 2hp vcfs on highpass mode for filtering the master channel

[@djcsts778]

Great music! Do you have a modulargrid.net page of your setup? I’m curious which modules you’re using in this setup.

[@OLANGALACTICA]

thanks! i‘m currently not using modulargrid to plan my case, but an older version is still online (liveset #12): www.modulargrid.net/e/users/view/49480

sick set dude. are you just freestyling? and if not, how long did the preparation take you?

hi, it‘s all freestyle :)

[@OB1techno]

😮

[@machmar]

16:23 what is that sound/module? (pad)

[@OLANGALACTICA]

the chord comes from music thing modular chord organ through a erica pico vcf3. the weird delay sounds come from mutable instruments braids (ring mode) through an syntrotek/mst filter

[@machmar]

@@OLANGALACTICA Thanks! Im too poor to buy those modules but good to know. (building my own eurorack - my channel)

[@OLANGALACTICA]

ok. if you‘re interested in DIY you can build the Braids, Chord Organ and MST Filter yourself. i saved around 50% on diy modules. helped me a lot to get going because eurorack is so damn expensive and my pockets arent‘t very deep

[@machmar]

@@OLANGALACTICA I actually allready have two braids. Man you seem like an interresting person. I develope modules. But its kinda hart cuz Im only 15. I would really like to chat with you more so if you could add me on facebook that would be awsome. facebook.com/marek.mach.9047

good luck going through airpot security with that

[@OLANGALACTICA]

flew with this around 50 times already from/to germany, france, switzerland, spain, belgium, austria. never had any problems. i usually go to the airport 15 min earlier because sometimes they want me to open the case or check me for bomb residue. good thing i don‘t live in the states.

@@OLANGALACTICA so we just hearing the master out now? wow. I like the panning then on the mixer

[@OLANGALACTICA]

after recording a do a bit of mastering (making it a bit louder and adding a bit of compression), but yeah it‘s basically what you hear, since I also use a compressor when i‘m playing live.

@@OLANGALACTICA That's killing bro. Yeah I have asked cause I am between this choice, I have a multitrack recording but also the master out. Mix and Master ? Just Master? I am exploring some options
