Best of Both Worlds :

It's not a secret that I am an Intellijel super fan, and with Cascadia my love for this brand went even higher.
Cascadia is Intellijel first semi-modular synth, and with it you can have the best of both worlds: the conveniency of a desktop synth and the depth of a modular one.
In this video I will show you how Cascadia works, do a patch from scratch and share my opinion on semi-modular instruments.

have had the cascadia for over a year now. this is one of my forever synths

[@OoraMusic]

same here!

[@AceGarpTruckingCo]

@@OoraMusic and here! And it just keeps getting better. Paraphony for Christmas and MPE for Easter!

[@davidhrivnak]

Here too in a major way! It's seriously one of the best synths ever made

[@jon_gee]

Brilliant. I love what you say in the closing talk. ‘It speaks to me’ -so real. Cascadia has become my best friend and I’m still learning. Looking forward to the follow ups!

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks Jon!

[@crtzmo]

I’ve been waiting for a video like this - thank you!! I’m new to synthesis at this level and am struggling to understand how to use CASCADIA , so this is so helpful. Very inspiring, cheers!!

[@OoraMusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@herbiebrady568]

Awesome breakdown of the Cascadia! This will definitely be the next step for me in the semi-modular world. I dig the sound a lot. Thanks for your thoughts on this. 🙏🏾

[@OoraMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robjames5009]

Excited to hear more from Cascadia! Eyeing up this white fog version...

[@OoraMusic]

looks really good!

[@Noise-Maker]

Thanks for this! Really appreciate it and great job demonstrating it!

Perhaps, for my birthday, Mother will let me touch one in the store. Mother is very kind.

[@OoraMusic]

good to have a kind mother!

[@chinabellebadol]

LOVE the sound possibilities. Im buying the exact setup you presented in this video 💙

[@OoraMusic]

great one!

[@Audhentik]

great video about a great instrument!

Thanks!

Great!! Thank you

You are welcome!

Man, I really would like to get into a module synth instrument. The options to work, with such an instrument, reminds me of painting in the studio, with all the different materials, colors, and ideas I could use without a preconceived 'idea' of what will be created. In addition, if the sound becomes too familiar for you, you could always buy different modules, just like i'll buy a specific color I typically don't paint with when i want change in my work. Despite all these great points, the one thing i just can't get past is the overall sound of Euro modules for the type of 'sound' i typically use in my work. Who knows, perhaps one day, and i'm always keeping an ear on the Eurorack world.

[@OoraMusic]

it is both a beautiful and daunting world. I spent too much money getting modules thinking they would change my life and then never really used them.I feel you need a good amount of discipline to make eurorack working for you, but of course it can be extremely rewarding!

[@itsdrawkcab5899]

Random question but I really like the background music at around 29:00, is that done with the Cascadia too? I wonder how good it is for those type of melodic ambient textures

[@OoraMusic]

Yes, that was made sending the cascadia to S4 and then slowed the tape down! With some processing any source can go in that direction I think!

[@mauromantovani5937]

It seems like a wonderful machine. The question is how does it compare to a Behringer 2600 that is a fourth of the price... I understand it's a boutique instrument but competition is fierce. Very good demo anyway.

[@stephengriffiths3009]

Love the concept and realisation of this synth, but it seems to lack a distinctive sound, which the Analogue Solutions synths have [or, the Vermona PerFormer]

[@OoraMusic]

To be honest, I didn't touch on the sound design 9 coming soon0. It might surprise you!

[@charlesbronson2806]

Caterina Barbieri Fantas vibes.

[@OoraMusic]

I can see that!

[@honer777]

Cascadia is based on the SH-101 with modular capabilities…a pretty nifty upgrade is on the way…

[@OoraMusic]

dont forget a second independent voice :)

[@honer777]

@@OoraMusic I would never!

[@SOOCMAG]

@@honer777what is on the way?????????

[@TwinCitiesOxygen]

What’s on the way?

[@antikytheramechanism7909]

It's pretty much like the ARP 2600 so the Behringer ARP or Korg ARP Mini would give similar results.

[@intellijel]

The Arp2600 was certainly an inspiration, as was the Buchla Easel, System100m and CwejmanS1mkii. However, the Arp2600 is missing the following key features found on the Cascadia: - Wavefolder - Multimode Filter with totally different topology from the ARP filter - Secondary Diode Ladder filter - TZFM with FM index VCA - FX Send / Return Loop - Much more complex envelope generators with CV control - Synthetic noise sources - Output Distortion - Extensive MIDI implementation including MPE capability and dual mode Cascadia is also substantially more compact and will fit in a backpack.

[@Taketaketak]

Plus, this is more sexy.

[@MrArpSolina]

Cascadia is a perfect mono semi-modular. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio is very bad!

[@OoraMusic]

I didn't do the math bu I think is a good deal considering what it offers?

[@1adneumann]

I think they spent more time on desigining the chasis then what's under the hood.... Not impressed with the sonic output...

[@OoraMusic]

respectfully disagree

[@Spalacidae]

nothing exciting

[@OoraMusic]

Fair enough :D

[@joeymc5272]

Oora do you offer mentorship/tutoring 1on1? If so where can i get in contact with you?
