Simple Mini Modular Setup / What is there in my Mono Bass Synth?

[@aquaexperiment]

Overall best eurorack rundown ever, thanx alot for your time!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you very much! I am glad you liked it! ✌️

[@kdsf12]

Ihor, this was very nice. Simple for beginners, deep enough for intermediates... it's good.

Best tutorial for a basic synth patch for modular. Also thanks for using Maths. This video helped me - a modular newbie - a lot! Great A/V quality and teaching too. Good job.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you very much Lee! Glad to get such kind words! I appreciate it! Good to know that it helps.

[@AzraelSilent]

Many offer beginner patch walkthroughs, but none that I've seen have been so clearly demonstrated as well as narrated on the fly. Superb oratory and teacher skills dude.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you for feedback! I appreciate it!

[@conk971]

i'm familiar with modular synthesis but even if i wasn't, this is such a clear and concise video on a really nice setup. great video. cheers!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you very much, Will. I appreciate it! ✌️

At some point you lost me patching everything with everything. :D But the sequence sounds absolutely amazing. Love your sound man!!

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you!

[@markbooth]

Thought I was watching the Ricky Tinez video again there. Bold move putting maths in such a small case but good to see you using it for two functions. Also such a simple oscillator which needs a separate envelope and vca.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! Yeah, lately a lot of voice modules come with their own internal envelopes and vca/vcf/lpg. This is kinda handy! However I still like the "standard" analog vco's :) Regarding Maths - I always hesitate before putting it into the build. Tho never regretted :)

Thank you, Raymond! I am glad you found it useful! ✌️

[@gastawson4398]

Love it! And thank you for using just digitakt sequencer instead of mimetic+steppy... it really helped me deciding what to get first.

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate you hanging here! Digitakt in pair with a MIDI interface is indeed a powerful sequencer for modular. It can not only send triggers and pitch, but also MIDI to CV - hence any sort of modulation: envelopes, LFOs, CV locks per trig. I love it!

[@daneguitarist1]

Hell yeah bro! Sounds great

[@IhorMedia]

Thanks for hanging here! ✌️

[@gruker]

thank you, was just about to buy a bigger case. Got me thinking. Was going to move up from the nifty case. But sometimes less is more!

[@IhorMedia]

Indeed! Thanks for your comment! I have a Nifty case myself, but I never used it after getting Palette. I think one of the biggest advantages of it is 1U modules which solve some connectivity and secondary function questions. Which leaves all 62HP for actually musical modules. You could also have a look at 104HP Palette. This one might become a neighbor for my 62HP.

[@gruker]

@@IhorMedia hmm to be honest I think the utility added on top of the intelligel 62hp probably comes close to the nifty 84hp :). I was looking at the Behringer go, but 2 x 140hp, my wallet is cringing at the thought. But would see me through for a long time. :D

[@IhorMedia]

@@gruker actually NiftyCase is a really good one! For its price especially! Like take MIDI 1U module - it costs as NiftyCase but it is just a MIDI module tho :) without even inputs. So I agree. The only thing I kinda didn’t like in Nifty is power. Since all the modules are hanging on one flying bus it could cause some issues. For example my Maths itself produces some noise. Not in the output, but by itself. In Palette all good!

[@gruker]

@@IhorMedia yeah I had issues with tip top forbidden planet and noise on it. :) cheers for the vid!

[@chiefthomson]

cool overview on such small form factor. Didn't know there is a NE programmable module, I'll certainly check it out. Would have appreciated a little longer jam at the end though ;)

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! I am glad you found it useful. The programmable NE modules are part of World of Versio. I think they even made the framework open source so that there is a possibility to create a custom firmware. Tho honestly I am, myself as a software developer, a little afraid to jump into programming synths ;) Next time I will do a longer jam at the end! I am glad you like them! It means a lot to me!

[@chiefthomson]

@@IhorMedia yeah, tell me about it, I love coding, but synths & DSP, well, I can't bring myself to get into it.

great video, earned a sub

[@IhorMedia]

Thank you! ✌️

[@BrandonAaskov]

You mention in this that you swap modules almost daily. I have this same case and an almost identical 1U row. But what’s your strategy for doing that swap especially when some Noise Engineering modules need different cables than others?

[@IhorMedia]

I usually keep all the cables needed inside of the Palette case and connected. That's pretty much it. For those cables with more pins I have no strategy really. I just keep them around and go through a struggle of plugging them in when needed. And by the way not only Noise Engineering modules require a different cable!

[@sevnever]

Thanks for this video, truly great video! I have made some decisions of what modules to buy based on your videos. I am in the process of building my first eurorack and I have a question about modules for headphone. It would be very helpful if you can provide some information. I am planning to use headphone directly plugged into eurorack just for now, what module would you recommend? Thank you!

[@IhorMedia]

Thanks for your kind words! I've never used headphones directly into the modular, but I assume there must be plenty to choose from. For example this one: intellijel.com/shop/eurorack/1u/headphones-1u/

[@colebiere4978]

Brilliant! Subscribed! May I ask: when describing the intellijel 1U output module, you say that you're outputting to a mixer.. Do you mean the Digitak? Or a standalone mixer off camera? Thank you, Ihor :)

[@IhorMedia]

Hey Cole! Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate you! At the moment of this video I my modular was plugged into a standalone mixer (or rather audio interface). However nowadays I'd plug it into the Digitakt directly. Because now Digitakt has controls over incoming audio. Before it didn't have.

[@colebiere4978]

@@IhorMedia Ah, I see. Thanks for this reply. The Digitak seems a like powerful tool. I wonder if one would be able to connect Digitak directly to studio monitors in this case? In other words, would it serve as an appropriate interface between a modular system and studio monitors? Thanks again :)

[@IhorMedia]

@@colebiere4978 it will indeed! More than that you can use it as an audio interface for your computer too. Just plug that USB cable in. Done! You may have to check one of my videos called "Techno Break through the Digitakt"

I watch your videos and I also watch Ricky Tinez's videos on the same modules. and You both sold me the entire line of noise engineering. I have almost the exact setup as you and I am learning how to use it thanks to you! Much appreciated. I have a clock question if someone can answer. I get a four on the floor clock from my novation mono station via midi because I like all my synths synced all on the same clock but If I want to send a faster clock to one of my modules say the steppy. what do you suggest to i use to get a clock doubled or faster? I hear I should get a clock multiplier or? Any suggestions. I know your busy but if you get around to it or someone else can help please let me know. Thanks again

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Clock dividers are going to be more reliable than a multiplier because it's easier to divide a known clock rate than interpolate for multiplying. See www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/6503f8/clock_multipliers/ for a good explanation (more technical).

[@IhorMedia]

Hey Anthony! Thank you for your comment! Your kind words mean a lot to me! Regarding your clock question. Exactly as Marc mentioned in his comment it is more reliable to divide the clock instead of multiplying it. However if you get the MIDI clock you should have a possibility to access it's "faster" speed, than 4 on the floor (or quarter notes). Because by its definition MIDI clock is 24 pulses per quarter note (or ppq). This means that your MIDI interface is already dividing it by 24 to achieve quarter notes speed. But access to such a thing depends on your MIDI interface, I guess. For example in my case I have MIDI 1U from Intellijel and there is a button "CLK ÷" which switches between the different dividers of this 24 ppq. Including /1 - which practically gives crazy fast 24 ppq. Check your interface if it has this. Then if you access the faster clock you can divide it to the desired speed in Steppy. Steppy has a clock divider per each track, which is pretty awesome! For example I mostly use 16th note clock (24ppq / 6) and this is good for most sequences. I think 16th is the most common clock division. Then if I really need quarter notes clock - I divide 16th by 4 in Steppy and I am good to go! I hope that helps you to get the idea!

[@digitalvamp]

@@IhorMedia that’s exactly the answer I needed thanks and I’ll let you know how it works out

[@digitalvamp]

@@MrMarcLaflamme thanks for your reply I will check this out now !

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

@@digitalvamp a good solution would be a dedicated module for clock (such as Pams or Tempi). If the device is making the clock it already knows the tempo and can reliably provide divided or multiplied clocks from other outputs.
