Ornament and Crime - All 50+ Modes in Hemispheres OS explained with Examples

[@shane_l8085]

This video is perfect timing for me, just bought a 2nd o&c to use hemispheres with and wanted a comprehensive tutorial, the videos on hemispheres are scarce so far. Thanks!

[@maroonraj]

What I appreciated most is that you built off each mode introduced, reusing them in later example patches. Thank you for making this!

[@mcshafty1]

I loaded hemisphere onto my o_c well over a year ago and have never gone back. I have to admit that I didn't have a clue what half of the apps did. You descriptions are clear and you give so many patch ideas to try out. Cheers

[@bradscott3165]

This is a great video. I don't know if repeats count, but I must have watched this at least a dozen times by now.

[@Jin-Hu]

Man, this is such an amazing resource, my deepest gratitude. Your creative approaches are incredible, 1:21:11 adding the scale duet with the Skewed LFO is just amazing, you’ve taught me so much in this video, not just about Hemispheres but about creative approaches. THANK YOU!

[@liquidfunksoundlab602]

Thank You... Thank You.... Thank You... This has inspired me to take a deep dive in Hemispheres. I recently installed my OC module into a small case alongside Maths, 4ms SMR, and Percall. The goal has always been using OC as the main module driving patches. This walk through along with your clear explanation have shown me how to creatively accomplish this goal.

[@forestine_]

Thank you so much for this! I am the kind of person who needs musical examples for things and have been struggling but wanting to dig into hemispheres! This is just what I needed.

Excellent resource on Hemispheres. Thanks. Tip: Hemispheres fans should check out the Benispheres branch for an even better collection. And most of the material here applies.

[@Bestmann3n]

great video! I modified the code for burst to include a probability setting, sort of like like the clock skipper so that I can set it to burst for example only 5% of the time. super useful change! clock skipper btw is super-useful if you think about it as a trigger skipper rather than a clock skipper. it's like trig probability on elektron machines.

Great clip. Hemisphere is a fantastic module. It gives you two cool modules that can be whatever you want them to be. Swiss Army goodness for weeks! But, don't discount the original O_C firmware. It is sublime when you take the time to explore (it's also more elegant than hemispheres IMO) Swapping the firmware is very easy - so don't be afraid to go back and forth Or better still, build two of them!

[@Robert_Babicz]

[@yoothfilms]

I am so happy to use this module for some time now, great with a very compact setup like mine (palette 62HP). The only thing missing to me is a melodic linear step sequencer like in the original firmware like Sequins. but you can always switch back to original firmware, it is just sad it is not bundled together. Great video that explained to me many aspects of the module with great examples, many thanks to you!

[@DashGlitch]

For this exact reason I have ordered another one for Sequinz mode :D

[@yoothfilms]

@@DashGlitch that is exactly why I am jumping to a plaette 104 HP, to get another one just like you. :)

[@samyamasutra]

this was fantastic. one of the very beset tutorial/overview videos i've ever seen which is not an easy task when it's such a behemoth of a module. i've watched a couple of times and because of that i have a pretty good grasp on most aspects. the one part that i really enjoyed and piqued my interest was the section using a dual quantizer on the left and Enigma Jr. on the right. just lovely, but i really need to ask a question if i may: how do you have that patched? would you mind describing or explaining it in a bit more detail? i'm guessing you're cross-patching right to left? the camera is just a bit too close to see for sure, but i'd guess the output of the Enigma is going into the quant, yes? if you could be a bit more clear on this patching i'd be so grateful! once again - stellar video - thanks so much!

[@DashGlitch]

Thank you! and yes, Correct - Enigma into the quantizer, Enigma is like a bank of turing machines or RNG's which can loop, they are great for creating sequences but are often atonal, so the quantized keeps the generated loops in key :) side-note, check out the alternative applet (in the select/save menu) called Darkest Timeline, it's a mix of a sequencer and Enigma with a bit of quantizing built in, it's a bit obscure but it's really fun to play with and reminds me a lot of the enigma quantizer combo

[@samyamasutra]

@@DashGlitch thanks a ton - that helps, and i will check out DT - but for a dummy like me (lol) can you tell me exactly how you patched Enigma into the quant on the left side? it's probably obvious to you, but O&C is still an Enigma to me! thanks!

Massive job mate, big appreciation! I hate to have neglected my O+C awesome depths.. I had an Octatrack headache for far too long, lol... Just randomly skipping to that BitCrusher sound has me exited! LoFiTape sounded lush af too (in our hands at least) I think the Hempisphere is no brainer for O+C, stereo fun and double utilities. Just too often becomes an ADSR and a rhytmn generator due to the limitations of my rack. But how did I nopt have been using this stuff... That Mixer alone is just a perfect addition. Should build another for myself!

[@Rob_65]

o_C looks very nice. Being a DIY guy I have been thinking about a generic module with CV and audio capabilities based on a Teensy 4.1. This not only boost the performance a lot (going from a 72 MHz M4 processor to a 600 MHz M7) but also adds USB Host possibilities. I guess it's time to start building a next generation o_C and start playing with some extra applications for this. With real audio in/out you could also create a VCO, VCA, filters, samplers and much much more :-D

[@DashGlitch]

I’d love to see what you come up with

Does the Ornament & Crime features euclidian LFOs? I know there is the App "Quadraturia". Doest this feature euclidian patterns for these LFOs? Similar to the Shakmat Mod-Medusa?

[@DashGlitch]

I'm not sure about LFO but hemispheres mode has the Annular Fusion which is a 2 channel Euclidean triggers generator

[@BurkhardusX]

@@DashGlitch I found this vid, showing O_C featuring an app called "Piqued". There you can configure 4 channels of euclidian triggers, where you can define the envelope of the trigger, these can be triangels or whatever.

[@mathieumorel448]

Hey! what did you use for the 303 sound like? Thanks

The Clock Skip algorithm is the most used mode in my setup. For me it's the equivalent of using just one of the two outputs of branches.

[@DashGlitch]

Oh damn I never thought of it that way, thank you!

[@mubalicious]

One of the fun things is to use a clock skip to drive a sequence. Great way to break up a clock for a bit more sporadic patterns, but still tied to a main clock.

[@lushlab.x]

Hello everyone, Im looking for a mode in which I could be able to invert a signal, but I can't find any on Hemisphere.. anyone know if this is possible? Tks!

Altho I cant find this mode on the hemisphere official list, there is only the attenOff mode. I tried searching for the word "invert" on the modes list, but also couldn't find any mode for that :/

[@RedCloudServices]

(new owner and new to modular) can you help? I’d like to use o_c into my daw via midi however it seems nearly every mode requires an external cv/lfo/clock trigger. Is there a single module I could use to operate all 50 modes? i.e. would Pams provide every possible trigger required? thank you for the incredible overview ☺️

[@DashGlitch]

I recently picked up a Pam's and I'm very happy, it is a tad overkill for just your solution I think, but I like to think you will expand the system and at that point it will become a swiss army. Otherwise another O_C or a Temps_Utile

They're so significantly different that it's hard to choose, PAMs is the best at clock stuff hands down, and the 8 channels is enough for almost any sized rack. O_C is more of a replacement for a bunch of the other utilities, like voltage generators, attenuators, modulations etc.

So when you are using a mode in OC are you locked into using only that mode at once or can you use different modes for different outs?

[@richarquis]

Damn, this looks awesome. I've heard the name so many times as my rack has been building, but never looked into it until now. Most of my rack is genuine MI modules, so I have a lot of these functions already, but there are some great ideas in there that I don't have, or haven't learned how to do yet, which makes it look like a worthy addition. One question, if you please - Will the CalSynth uO_C run all the same firmware updates / alt firmwares as the original 14hp? I don't have an issue with rack space. I will be buying some modules off CalSynth though, as the original MI modules are long since discontinued, and his clones are the only realistic way for me to find them, and his prices for brand new modules with 2yr warranties and smaller hp are the same or less than original used copies. Since I'll be getting his clones of grids/branches/peaks, I may as well get his uO_C too.

[@cardboardmusic]

After watching most of your video (excellent stuff), I went and installed Hemisphere and started to have a look around. I have to say, I'm surprised that you are so excited about this firmware, yet you've not - if I understand correctly - really looked at the original firmware? Hemisphere's strength is that it can run as two apps. However, in comparison to what the original has (and does) is really more complex. As an example, in Hemisphere you have a couple of LFO apps, but very basic. In the original take a look at Quadraturia, a complex quad LFO with multiple shapes from very simple to very complex. Then, have a look at Piqued a quad envelope generator, which can be looped, and so used as an LFO too. Several sequencers (some using shift registers, others as note sequencers), all with the possibility to have multiple patterns, chained, looped etc. And the list goes on, you should take some time to have a look around. Anyhow, it's great to have the possibility of both apps, but to make it into an even better utility tool, it would be fantastic to be able to have both firmwares installed in the/a suite, and be able to choose (without reinstalling) one or the other.
