Pamela's New Workout (A Beginners Guide)

[@RedMeansRecording]

Talk about my bandaid here

[@ben_burnes]

Hope you're ok :D

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

bandaids are the new black, just ask "The Weeknd" ;-)

[@dlabrador]

Sad you didn't quite steal Nelly's schtick

[@jeremygee972]

Bono would be proud.

[@LEdHeadW]

I have positive feelings towards band aids. I use them at work mostly after I draw arterial blood from my patient. I stick it to my glove so it's right where I need it after I get my ABG sample, makes me feel very pro. Glad to see Jeremy is also a fan.

[@BrandonAaskov]

I don’t care what the view count says, these videos are so helpful to the ecosystem. You really show how Pam’s can be pushed. Pushing our existing gear further is a great way to battle GAS and supply chain woes. Thank you for making this.

[@CamelJam]

I'M BRAND NEW TO MODULAR- and I'm looking to get Pamela in my rig. I'm now convinced. Thank you for making this video.

[@jimmcd1101]

This is a ridiculously great overview of this module, best one out there. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these videos, and being so articulate about all the functions and speaking and such an easy to understand manner - there are very few tutorial videos out there by anybody that are as good as what you do.

[@stereopsis]

In June this year I ordered the OP-1 and watched your tutorials while waiting for it to arrive. I really loved using it when I got it, and while I love the creativity it brings forth I also wanted to get a synth with a great sound. So I got the Moog Matriarch. Now the Matriarch has a lot of patch points, so obviously I had to start a eurorack...and now I am here, watching your videos to get inspiration for which modules to buy next. Thanks for all of your videos!

[@wolfdesk]

One of the first modules I bought, it is not only super versatile but also a joy to use. But there is always more to learn in watching the way someone else uses it. Great video!

[@morrismarschik6846]

Sheesh, that's one hell of an outro jam... Gimme some of your musical powers pls. Thanks for the sharing of knowledge!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

this module was always a riddle to me - thanx for this indepth explanation - now i believe - in what , i have no clue , but my faith is STRONG !

[@KattKirsch]

As someone contemplating a DAW rack with modules to control VSTs, which was really informative and gave me so much to chew on, not just w/r/t shopping for toys but also kinda made me think about how I use my current sequencers. Really great stuff, Jeremy. I love the edutainment vibes

[@williampugh4706]

Just bought Pam's, and even with only a beginner's rough understanding of the module it was already a game changer for me. Can't wait to try out all the goodies outlined here. Thanks for this!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Nestled in right next to my ornaments & crime. Thank you so much for making this video. Super helpful.

[@JJTFishing]

As a drummer for 30+ years thats looking into building a modular system, this is now on my "to buy" list. Great demo!

[@gluepet2074]

This is the perfect video to watch after you have absorbed DivKid’s excellent intro and have a basic understanding of Pam’s. It taught me several new things, answered some lingering questions and inspired me to use Pam’s in new ways. Great job and Thanks!

[@BeniRoseMusic]

I'm not a Pam's beginner, but I love this module so much I'm gonna watch this whole thing anyways!

[@TheNimasan]

same here. this module is a MUST for any system! this module is just a genius engineeing, like all other amazing ALM modules.

[@njdpdv]

Same same here 😀

[@EVILJAMARR]

One of my all time favorite modules. In every single patch.

[@ChumpyDumps]

I needed this video. Just got a Matriarch, to go with my Grandmother and Minibrute 2s and each of these synths was supposed to help me jump into Eurorack but hasn't lol. But I've now dedicated that I won't buy anymore synths or grooveboxes going forward and I'm just gonna expand on my Matriarch with eurorack. I know this module always comes up and I could figure out what I'm supposed to do with it so thank you for this video. Love the direction you've taken with your channel.

[@MisterAJ1982]

That’s my setup, too! Matriarch + eurorack = 👨‍🍳👌

[@jascooly]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I was using mine basically as a clock/start-stop button/divider, knew it had more to offer, didn't really understand what, this got me all hyped up!

[@memskew]

Thanks for the Pam’s rundown! Vid also made me realize the importance of kitty-head-boop visualizer on Data’s next firmware update.

[@rtfmmodular91]

One fun trick Pam’s self patch to rotate the row of inputs when it’s fed a trigger into Run. I like to pass random looping melodies between voices like singing in a round or have distinct modulation be passed about. Logic operators will point to the same positions when you rotate, leading endless permutations.

[@Blackeyedangel]

Skadooooosh.... Mind blown. Thanks for the quality content, once again.

[@PocketUnv]

Damn Jeremy, you always deliver great content. I always look forward to your videos of modules i already have, it's always such a great source of inspiration.

[@XxXSEPIOXxX]

Hey! Just a cool thing I thought you might like with making videos about pams. You can take that red plastic out of the module and it has a much more visible white display. I really like it alot more that way tbh. The nuts on the front of my pams were too tight to take off without a wrench, but you can pull the plastic off from the side with a pair of pliers. Idk if theres any photos online, but maybe i can upload one if you're interested!

[@stevekirkby6570]

Now I just need a second Pam's. Yes, I had the v1 and eventually the LED gave out on a segment or two... so got the v2 last year. Brilliant. I had been thinking of a second, and this tutorial has shown how brilliant that can be. Thanks!

[@TheCheeriosMan]

My goodness this is amazing! I’d love to see a video on the LIP. The vid on the CIP shows it off so well. Anyway, thanks for all you do and for showing us the sweet musical vibes of the modules that go into your rack. It’s nice to hear both extremes from noise to sweet sounds in modules.

[@falazarte]

I love the video, but it was like watching an advance class on rhythms. Way above my paid grade. I've got a lot to learn. You are amazing.

[@chitlun]

I’ve just ordered my very first case and and a few modules, comprising some effects & Maths to play with my semi-modular kit… DivKid’s video made me realise Pam’s was a pretty essential module, this video just made me order one! Excellent video squire, cheers 👍

[@plumcharlie]

Great vid. I’ve only been using Pam’s as a trigger happy clock. Time to explore! Thanks Jeremy

[@2020_Gaming]

I gotta say, even though I don't own a single module, I get so much out of these from just a thought process perspective. Your way of approaching music is so unique, thank you for sharing that with the world. 💙

[@joelnicholson]

Thorough, helpful, exciting, and expansive walkthrough. Excellent stuff, as always. I've kinda been overlooking the whole aspect of using CV to modulate Pam herself, and this has definitely given me some awesome new ideas for that - as well as reassuring me that I'd been making some good use from the rest of her. Keep up the good work man!

[@bob-rogers]

I didn't realize how much I have to learn about my Pam's! :-) I guess I need to watch DivKid's video, and then come back and watch yours again.

[@BigPlasticPlant]

I love PAM’S, I love everything Noise Engineering does, I love this video, I love manchego.

[@MojoJojoMojo]

Great timing. I'm planning to get myself a Pamela's next. Thanks for this video, Jeremy!

[@dlabrador]

Wonderful - this video is a service to humanity. I share your views on PNW. It modulates BIA like a beast among other things it also does good.

[@vonehrenheim]

I love Pam's and I love this channel! Things couldn't be better! 😍

[@sokamiru]

This is going to get SO many views - answers so many questions

[@MrHihowryou]

Immensely helpful video. Thank you for taking the time and energy to put this together.

[@ejpurkis]

The slop function reminds me of Corporal Jones from dads army who always stamps his feet just behind the beat of the rest of the platoon! Dope!

[@RedMeansRecording]

Aka the white mom clap

[@borkkorb]

thanks for your breadkdown! i need to explore the CV input more and you've given me some good ideas

[@rengerkoning1932]

There are always features I forget over time, thanks for this 'reminder' video!

[@xa1a]

Just got mine this morning! Great way to start the New Year! Thank you!

[@EZBOT_]

One of the best modules available 10/10

[@Richie086]

Great video. Do another one on the semi random waves and using the logic function. Thanks for showing me how the CV inputs work, never messed with it before but you opened my eyes to the possibilities

[@bonsaibloom]

Goddamn, modular really is something so magical. That was killer, thanks Jeremy 💕

[@ian84]

always overlooked quantized random because I just sort of assumed the range couldn’t be adjusted…so this video has been verrrrry helpful indeed!

[@Lewp77]

I like the close ups of the band aid.

[@kevinsint]

Great Guide, I'm no beginner and I learned things, Thanks !!

[@richarquis]

Mine arrives tomorrow! Reeeeaaally looking forward to messing with the Euclidean mode, but those claps in the modifiers section are gonna be an idea to work from - Straight into the percussion banks of Bitbox, start playing with hats and toms and whatever the hell. Thanks for the tutorials as always!

[@r-omega]

That was some smart stuff, sending a square wave in to essentially open and close randomization of the pitch 👏👏

[@marcussmith5959]

Great video and awesome jam at the end! Might need to get me a pams. Love the use of the Loquelic too! You really did a good job of getting clean and pretty and then a bit dirty towards the end there ;)

[@njdpdv]

🌸✨EPIC✨🌸 Good serial tutorialist is becoming you. The Force is strong with this one. Very good build-up. Greetings from my pet New Pamela's Workout.😀

[@andykandolf1948]

it's one of my fave modules. The 8 outs pack a lot of functionality!

[@oliverbutterfield9844]

Bot watched it yet, but I *know* this is going to be exactly what I’m looking for!

[@andreaspeter4779]

to reset a sequenzer you can also set a „negative Gate“ in the section where you set the tempo...

[@sebp400]

just bought my first rack and first module yesterday, this is inspiring.

[@willernst]

08:12 "The gate basically stays high all the time" Don't be like the gate, kids.

[@underthinker6943]

If you only have one Pams you can get it to modulate itself by plugging one of it's outputs into one of its cv inputs. This can give you changing amounts of triggers in a Euclidean sequence for example.

[@walrtbstudios5430]

I already wanted one of these. Now I need one. I’ll also need to refer back to this video, lots…

[@jantuitman]

The independent speeds of Pam is exactly what I miss in the Korg Wavestate: there I can set each sequence lane an independent length, and tweak the length using modulatable loop points, but all sequence lanes run at the speed dictated by the timing lane, and you can globally multiply and divide, but not for individual sequences. For the rest you can do really crazy stuff but I really miss this feature. Sigh, I will probably cave in to eurorack one day….

[@AnalogueRecall]

Thank you RMR. Big fan.

[@okkoto]

Pam's Old Workout and Intellijel Linix are the only modules I've never sold and I've had them both since 2014. Old Pam now sits next to New Pam.

[@radical_ans]

I'm imaging them clocking into work like the dogs in the old looney tunes cartoons. "Morning Pam." *ka chunk* "Morning Pam." *ka chunk*

[@okkoto]

@@radical_ans and that Raymond Scott factory song deal starts up

[@pmumble76]

Great video on Pam, thanks. I don't know if it's partially the module face design, but I wanted to clean the faceplates during the whole video. They look kinda crusty.

[@snoogllies]

I haven't even watched this yet and I'm already saying thank you 😅

[@bertstang3006]

Great video, thank you! It’s nice to you can quantize certain musical scales but can you also set the key to match it to the key of your song?

[@mattgriffin2545]

Apologies if I am missing something obvious, but is there a way of generating a gate of a specified length at specified intervals? what I am thinking of is being able to do things like control the chord type in Plaits to generate diatonic chord progressions; so if the first four steps are a minor chord but the next four are major it could fire a gate on every fifth step to change the setting; it would then stop after each eighth step so that it drops back to minor for the next chord. if that makes sense 😄

[@Gmartin4049]

Great stuff, love Pams

[@mikemarion2154]

Hey! I watched The Golden Child Starting Eddie Murphy last night.... Do you know of Sardo Numspa? do you get this often?

[@nodz007]

loved this video, I have a pams and a temps utile. I like using temps for the basic clock multiplier / divider stuff and pams for some of the funkier stuff

[@Limbic1000]

Hi. Temps utile is absolutely not as versatile as pams is, right? How do you like temps? Can you play melodies with? Or random notes like pams can? Greetz from Austria.

[@nodz007]

@@Limbic1000 yes one channel will output random cv. I like temps, I use it regularly as a divider / multiplier, euclidean sequences and random triggers. This frees up my Pams module immensely.

[@nodz007]

@@Limbic1000 also as versatile as Pams is, you will never be able to get away from basic rhythms if you want your music to have structure to it.

[@PaulBreitzmann]

I think we need some t-shirt merch with a modular theme and the phrase "Let's get weirder".

[@CaveWay]

Agree!

[@R3V1ZION]

Praise be unto Pamela, the Mother Clock

[@GeorgeLocke]

lol @ "Mother Clock" brilliant

[@cliffanger]

Really nice informative video. Thank you. I'd still love to know how you got that kick drum pattern on the outro jam though!🤣

[@declanbrown]

how doI enable that bobbing cat mode on the data? :P thanks for the great video!

[@TheNimasan]

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS JEREMY!!!! i already watched divkids fantastic video 5 times. now i have 2 ' go 2 ' videos if I wan't to know something!!! i don't know if you own a disting ex in the mean time. if yes it would be so great to create a video about the single mode of that module. mine doesn't work properly so i am waiting for a replacment. you mentioned couple of times in your previous videos, that you are waiting for a disting ex.

[@michaelshenton5760]

Huge fan of magnified fuzzy bandaids

[@anoniconoclast2030]

This is amazing. Can it get the string sound on Led Zeppelins "I'm Gunna Crawl?

[@nodfactor8808]

Love those clap samples. Are those stock on the Rample?

[@RedMeansRecording]

No

[@solongyouth]

I must have watched this 20 times by now. Are those handclaps part of the Rample stock samples? They sound so good!

[@antinolfithierry6324]

excellent wprks; thanks for sharing

[@rainerd9890]

thanks for the demo! i'm still not getting the cv-in aspect of pam's. if i want to cv a 16 step euclidean pattern to bounce between 9, 10, and 11 triggers and i move to cv in the trigger options, what is the starting point for the trigger amount, 0? and then any cv increments that value up?

[@funkl0314]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

[@RealBassist]

Thanks for the video! A bit of an odd question, do you know what's going щи with Divkid? he hasn't been active for a while? Is he ok?

[@RedMeansRecording]

I don't and I think about it a lot. I suspect he's just really doing his life and that's enough for him, but I don't know. Think good thoughts.

[@jenniferw8963]

39:50 So you don't need the expander then right? YOu can use one of the 8 channels on pams to spit out 24ppq to sync with other eurorack modules?

[@ayelandaudio1927]

Hey Jeremy, got a query I'm wondering if you can help me out with... I've got Pams and am trying to get the sequence to run with clock from my octatrack, atm I've only a Midi box splitting out signals and a little MIDI to CV lead converter which is going into the clk input. I'd like the clock to start with the octatrack rather than needing to hit start on pams, I've looked online but not sure if I need to buy a different midi to cv device like Mmidi or CVOCD. Any

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

Ben DivKid is such a cool dude,- and a natureforce of Eurorack knowledge - ;-)

[@noelmorronimusica8212]

Thanks!! Amazing tutorial ! How can i change the root of scales??

[@walterclements2]

I love your slop knob jeremy

[@derelictelectric2216]

I've been using a triatt to control rskip on all clocks and certain events since I saw you doing it on a much older video. And I always use it. Thank you for reminding me that I really could and should be doing that with every parameter. Because I can. Curious though. Is there an easy enough way to break out of 4/4 with pams? And I often feed clock to a varigate 4+. Did hear you say one time that the varigate needs 4ppqm?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Varigate generally wants 4ppq but maybe you can change the last step to 12 and treat each step as an 8th note triplet

[@Cutflower]

Just what I need led for purchase, thanks!!

[@nickyjay2009]

This js a very informative video. One thing I am trying to work out is how can i output a gate signal to my ADSR in line with the rhythms being out put by Pams ?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Mult or stack cable?

[@patchnovae]

Divkid is awesome! Curious, do you still use your Squarp or did you retire that from your racks, Jeremy? Great video as usual!

[@RedMeansRecording]

I still use the Hermod and the rample

[@robertsyrett1992]

PNWO is a modern classic. I can't seem to update the firmware, but even version 1.0 is amazing.

[@mastermachetier5594]

This seems like it would be a good module to do some generative rhythms for melodies as well

[@sldkjfasljfwaoptiuwa]

Any plans to cover the Logic functions in Pam's from the most recent firmware? I was hoping it'd be covered in this video.

[@RedMeansRecording]

No plans because I don't plan on going through the hassle of updating the firmware and I never really thought of a musical application for it.

[@breadwarandcircus]

I have bought myself a bandaid like yours. I think it may have improved my sound.

[@electrichartstrings6706]

I recently was without my Pams for nearly a month, LEDs were no longer at proper intensities after global reset so Busy Circuits repaired it for me. Although they were amazing in how fast they fixed it, I had to deal with both postal services taking their sweet old time. I’m sure it wasn’t as bad as withdrawal, but it was bad. It has literally become the heartbeat of my system. Although I have other modules that could spit out clocks, it was impossible to even come close to what I can do with this module.

[@AlexanderCook87]

Pams = GOAT

[@marcohuerta510]

This video really makes me want to get a second Pam's

[@RP-mp4ow]

If I'm wanting to start and stop PNWo from an es-8/analog 4 what should I plug into the Run input?

[@JustinKimball]

So much good info.

[@joystickcan]

insane need to try a lot....thanks for the video cheers!

[@spenzasequenza]

Damn, Pams needs more CV Inputs!!! Who do we have to talk to? : )

[@GeorgeLocke]

I wish there were an expander that was just a bunch of extra CV inputs! It's probably not possible without redesigning the hardware.

[@GeorgeLocke]

Also wish it could do negative offset.

[@spenzasequenza]

@@GeorgeLocke oooh yé!
