Patch from Scratch with Qu-Bit Chord

[@katelikesrectangles]

love the "patch from scratch" style, especially with the quick explanations like "into such-and-such, which is a quad adsr". this is super helpful. thank you!

[@seth.graham]

Yeah, make as many of these as you want and I'll watch em all.

[@danruiz79]

Me too.

[@plumcharlie]

Me three

[@mcolville]

"I think probability is very important in any modular device." Strongly recommend the ELOQUENCER. It's the king of probability in sequencing, both gated and CV.

[@mcolville]

Killer vid! Instant music!

[@RedMeansRecording]

I didn't get along with it super well tbh

[@mcolville]

@@RedMeansRecording I retract my suggestion! It was, frankly, folly to imagine you hadn't already checked it out. :D

[@RedMeansRecording]

Oh it's totally all good! I appreciate it!

[@sagencocklin9961]

Yeahhhhh, big enjoy patch from scratch videos I will always watch em!

[@adroc9841]

more patch from scratch!!!!

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

The verbosity in this video is astonishing. You did an amazing job at explaining every step of the way, thank you Jeremy!

[@mattchapmanjones2247]

Yes please many more of this kind of video!

[@scottallencello]

Jeremy, your demos are truly my favorite. You are always so personable, and your content always demonstrative and relatable. Thank you for bringing such excellent content.

[@scottallencello]

Case in point, useful little pieces of wisdom, such as at 3:57, "I think a lot of people think of Eurorack voices, as the note event and the gate event happening at the same time, but it's much more interesting if you separate them." A perfect example of user learning an important concept in the flow of experience...so natural. You are an excellent teacher.

[@walrtbstudios5430]

This made me get a Steppy. Whether I want to thank you or curse you for that is yet to be determined as it only arrived this morning. I’ll let you know…

[@Robert_Babicz]

love it

[@RedMeansRecording]

Getting a comment from you is absolutely fucking surreal and amazing. Your music was a gigantic influence on everything I did and have learned. That you so damn much.

[@Robert_Babicz]

@@RedMeansRecording man i love your videos alot, watching them with joy

[@Wafflethorpe]

Definitely love this kind of video from you. Your OP-1 videos are what first got me here, and you bring the same kind of really fun playful energy and creativity to the modular stuff. I love seeing what you come up with, and how you come up with it. It's always inspiring, and gives me fun ideas to try :)

[@joco179]

omg I need those keystep 90 degree plug thingies sooo bad. btw patch from scratch are my fav!

[@frankdev]

This is really inspiring Jeremy! I really like videos like this. It's a really practical approach to a modular goal and shows the value of various module types. Also these modules are sick and I have microcosm envy.

[@beatsbyjiro8291]

I would cry if i put this patch together and had to remove all the cables. Beautiful.

[@julianeustace8064]

The Eurorack patch from scratch vids are excellent. More please

[@MiniMatthias]

patch from scratch is so much fun to watch! I have recently got my own rack and watching to see your process on generating a sound is super informative and entertaining!

[@JustinKimball]

This was dope. I really enjoyed seeing you step through and build the whole thing up. Would love more of these.

[@DBPawlan]

Sending the Chord through the Muxlicer is also a lot of fun for some wild arpeggiation. Fantastic patching by the way!

[@RedMeansRecording]

Great tips

[@danruiz79]

Just got a nifty case bundle. It’s my first modular synth.

[@lostsystems1]

Yes! I’ve been waiting for someone to make exactly this video, as I myself have been struggling figuring the chord out. Awesome stuff as usual! ❤️

[@mortensmodules]

Just pure soundscape-WOW! 👏🏻❤

[@BottleMakesMusic]

Oh, this is tasty. Love the versatility of the Qu-bit Chord

[@XiXora]

I love your well explained patches from scratch. This ended up great. I didn't know Scanned could end up so brassy. The right-angles on the KSP is a touch a of genius btw.

[@michaelmiller8709]

I really enjoyed getting to hear your thought process as you built the patch! Would love more of that kind of insight on these patch from scratch videos.

[@AsyncLive]

Very much like these walkthroughs from 0 to 100. Plese moar!

[@noisealchemist971]

Metron + voltera + chord is an amazing combination. I use the compose scene that Voltera unlocks on the Metron to program a bunch of chord presets (root note and quality), makes writing progressions very easy to do!

[@pablocovarrubias4431]

Love the patch from scratch videos, keep 'em coming.

[@horrornumber]

sounds so nice

[@sawtoothwave]

Beautiful track! It has Kettel "Myam James" vibes in a really great way! I've been wanting a Chord v2 for a while and this video is the clearest presentation of it in-situ that I've seen so far - thanks/yikes for that!

[@peterreinelt144]

So nice to listen to. Want more of it!!!

[@jonaseggen2230]

I want to dance now. Yes, more patch from scratch please. Shame this is not on vinyl, would def have played it as a dj.

[@alejandropnt]

Awesome patch ! Cool to see people dig into the more “harmonic” possibilities of eurorack :)

[@johnmcneil2431]

I loved this. I knew we where in for harmony on modular, but the richness of the tone is amazing. You convey so much feeling. Time to rewind and try to grok the bit about separating CV from triggering. On first watch it seemed more like magic than electronics I could replicate.

[@spenceralbin7294]

I love the patch building videos.

[@0bsol3tist]

Dude, you're the Bob Ross of Modular now, lol. So fun. Thanks again for the fun video. Seantron

[@plumcharlie]

I loved this video. Super helpful seeing these patch from scratch videos. Thank you.

[@joshforgie9611]

15:14......I got wood. Holy Moly what a sound. The layers fold with each other. I imagine you did some post processing out of the rack and you nailed it.

[@illustrationmaking]

More patch from scratch. Definitely. :D

[@ManCalledMif]

patch from scratch is a great format. thanks for sharing these beautiful sounds.

[@JadanDuffin127]

Awesome as always Jeremy! Love this format. Let’s see more patch from scratch videos with that Keystep!

[@tatelockwoodmusic5733]

Please continue making these types of videos! They are so inspiring and offer so many ideas and suggestions to my patching! Thanks for this :D

[@SnakeOilJohnson]

Nice - thanks.

[@karnblack]

Thanks for sharing! I love videos like this explaining your thought process. It helps me to be intentional with my patching even though there are times where I don't know what will happen and just try experimenting.

[@syncdestroyer]

Came here for the Chord v2, left with some right angle adapters for my Keystep Pro. Brillant.

[@CAPTCHA-ju3ob]

Where do you get those adapters? Looks very practical!

[@miketreanor8859]

This video started me on my modular journey and I am having such a blast. Thank you. Also, this jam reminds me of L'Impératrice.

[@falazarte]

amazing!

[@chrisdaniels4420]

That was fantastic

[@safarius1639]

love those patches from scratch!

[@Winterdagen]

Love this so much!

[@paulmahony4467]

do more of this plz

[@afti03]

whoa!

[@flufftapes]

This is beautiful man, watching it all come together was amazing. I would straight up listen to the last 4 min of this video everyday

[@joshuabpolys]

Very fun! Thx!

[@Officialmotive805]

Please do more of these!

[@mntbighker]

Keep up the patch from scratch

[@cstev3071]

Another cool thing to do is to run the the 4 gates you have in the vid through the WMD Sequential Switch Matrix and step through different matrices.

[@pthomas36]

I love watching modular setups that eventually become melodic and so incredibly generative like this. Awesome work! Also, those 90 degree adapters in the back of the Keystep are very intriguing. Where do they come from?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Search for 90 degree right angle 3.5 mm on Amazon

[@pthomas36]

@@RedMeansRecording I knew that. I uh, ya. I knew that....

[@static-san]

Got a strong Oxygene vibe throughout most of this. :-)

[@danruiz79]

I dig your style dude. 🤙🏼

[@louisharkna9464]

Scratch those patches!

[@agentbo1979]

Keep making these.

[@Neffers_UK]

I wonder if you or someone could 3D print some form of cradle to hold all the 90 degree male to female jack convertors you have on the Keystep Pro, to both hold them straight and also prevent fatigue on the PCB as you insert them. Make the cradle's base so it's level with the work surface the Keystep Pro is sat on - and maybe make fingers around the top of the convertors for when you pull them out? Failing that, a lil patch bay type extension module for it? I only say this as re-soldering the 9 pin D-sub ports on my Atari ST every pair of plates was a pain due its stupidly placed mouse and joystick ports lol.

[@akashnba03]

absolutely stunning! Hey i have a question. what did you do at around the 9:20 mark after doing the all 64 steps. You said youre doing 1/4 time. what exactly did that do?

[@EirikRye]

It makes the sequence 256 steps with 1/4 resolution, meaning you can have a much longer sequence at the cost of only being able to input a note every four steps.

[@RedMeansRecording]

What Eirik said!

[@uniworkhorse]

Bro, I was showing my sister one of your OP-1 videos last night and she recognized your icon - Funnily enough she's the one that you commissioned to make your Angel Chest Tattoo! 😲 I've been watching your vids more recently, so I thought that was pretty rad! Small world.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Woah holy smokes. Small world! She's awesome.

[@uniworkhorse]

@@RedMeansRecording as her bro I can confirm she is!

[@jamessusbilla]

thank *YOU*

[@F_letc.h]

Are you going to do a proper demo of chord? Really interested in this module.

[@RedMeansRecording]

I'll try to at some point! It's in a performance rack now

[@Tasun_]

awesome idea with the adapters in keystep! thumbs up :) PS: which adapters are you using? thx

[@RedMeansRecording]

Just search right angle 3.5mm on amazon

[@Tasun_]

Thanks man ;)

[@tomnaustin1]

Good video...at times very hard to see what you are doing with the cables and the modules you are using.

[@alexandergilman3394]

Could you have used Pam’s for this instead of Steppy? Can Pam’s do basic trig outputs in a fun arpeggiated kind of way?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Its harder to get a deterministic rhythm on the fly with Pam's

[@jbeda]

Really interested to see what you do with the Metron when you get it. I love using mine to trigger voices and sequencers separately.

[@RedMeansRecording]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm doing. It's quickly become the brain of my rack

[@JohnTrasher]

Is it possible to make a chord progression that sticks to a key ?

[@Synmomusic]

The varigate is starting to displace my steppy in terms of immediacy, but function wise, Steppy really handles the workload of a varigate at a great value. I was told that a voltage block was a mandatory accompaniment for the varigate so I picked it up too, but it's not exactly the companion I imagined (I thought I would use it for note sequencing). It's become more of my cv animator. Stepped.....Un...random I guess?

[@ashlama6060]

❤❤❤

[@noahprins4409]

Dang it Jeremy, I didn’t think I wanted this.

[@MemoryVague]

finished this video and now everywhere i look is green

[@DamnHeadHumpers]

The Chord would sound even more fantastic going through a Doepfer A-105-4 Quad Poly SSI VCF

[@useca]

You can also just use the mix output on Chord through any filter if you don’t need the separation.

[@boogerfoot]

Wow

[@borkkorb]

how is the hologram connected to the pan mix? is the output just running into the pedal?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Panmix into Mackie 1202 with microcosm as aux send

[@borkkorb]

​@@RedMeansRecording thanks!

[@jlnschfr]

How did you like it compared to the 4ms ensemble oscillator?

[@mntbighker]

Exactly

[@RedMeansRecording]

Super different actually. Hard to explain in a comment.

[@mntbighker]

@@RedMeansRecording For one the 4MS basically just has the mix out. We'll, you can get the evens, odds or uppers and lowers selectable as I recall. It seems like the Chord is more versatile. OK fine, you can't compare them in a comment ;)

[@jlnschfr]

Nevermind, was more about which one was more inspiring for you. :) I also have the chord and this video was very inspiring for me. Thanks for that!

[@Evergreen64]

Molted? What are you saying? That it loses feathers? If you're going to do all this molting, you're going to have to do it outside. I really don't want to clean up all those feathers.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Needs sfx for zooming or panning to different modules :-)

[@averagepainter]

where is your seventh note?

[@teyathebirb8922]

One of the first comments, 11 seconds.

[@teyathebirb8922]

After this, I'll watch the Arkhis video

[@Breisler]

Jeremy, stop posting I just bought a Digitakt. I can't afford any more stuff yet!

[@foul-mouthfarrah1158]

Uploaders start putting "keyboard" in your titles. I'm looking to play with modules only and not with a keyboard. I wouldn't click on this 💩 if I known you were going to use a keyboard.
