Strega Tutorial - All Controls Explained

[@cohaagenup]

The best explanation of the magic behind Strega that I’ve seen. Thank you so much!!

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

I really appreciate that, thank you!🤘

[@fo76]

Best introduction to Strega - Thanks! 🤩

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Appreciate that, thanks so much! 👾

[@ModePhaser]

Hands down my favorite Strega video I've seen. I've had mine for months now and I've learned more here than anywhere else. Thank you!

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful. 👾

[@ezrawoolnough523]

These videos are the best I've seen so far on the Strega. All hats off!!!

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thank you! Stoked you’re digging em🤠

[@longacre4932]

This is a super clear and useful walkthrough. I learned a few new things for sure!

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Stoked to hear that, thank you!!

[@michaelkonomos]

One of the best Strega videos out there. Seems like you really spent a lot of time learning this! Thanks for spending extra time sharing that knowledge with everyone else!

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thanks very much, I really appreciate that! Stoked you enjoyed 🤘thanks for checking it out.

[@StatsGod]

Really good -- direct, clear, conceptually lucid. Thank you for this, and the guide.

[@StatsGod]

I remain confused about Absorb.

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

@@StatsGod Thanks so much- appreciated! Absorb is a dry/wet control regarding how much of the noise from "Time" bleeds over into the filter and final mix. The Blend knob also contributes to how much goes through. I think they chose to call it "Absorb" because it's how much noise gets "absorbed" into the filter/final mix. I was also confused about this at first! 👾

[@StatsGod]

@@MatthewShapiroModular Yeah I think there's a specific interaction of Absorb with filtering -- that is, it filters the delay.

Your 'cheat sheet' looks useful. My strega arrives next week. Will be coming back to this video. Thanks.

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Excellent thank you! If you run into any questions feel free to drop them in the comments or shoot me an email 👾

[@JudyBurnette-t8s]

Thanks. You provided the perfect map. Just got mine today and you made it simple.

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Awesome, much appreciated! Enjoy your Strega👾

[@parsa.mostaghim]

finally had some free time to watch this, very clear! TY for making this

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching, Parsa 😊

[@ChillMTGtv]

I really appreciate the great quality audio. Nice job.

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thank you! 🤠

[@bg8703]

Great video to help understand the basics. Thanks a lot for this.

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

So stoked to hear that, thank you! Here’s the cheat sheet you may dig as a reference: www.matthewmodular.com/strega-rg

[@bg8703]

@@MatthewShapiroModular Thanks for the link. I'll certainly have a closer look at it when i receive the Strega i have ordered.🙂

[@davidlevymusic]

Very useful. Thanks man!

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thank you!🤘

[@iamYork_]

Great overview… Strega is next on my purchase list from Make Noise… Seems really innovative and unique

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thank you!! And agreed- it’s a neat one. I’m obsessed.

[@iamYork_]

@@MatthewShapiroModular Slowly making my steps from semi to full modular and loving the journey thus far... Looking forward to more of your videos and sounds...

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Enjoy the journey! Cheers👾

[@soundsuncommon]

Great video - I learned a few things I didn't know, and I've had my Strega for over a year! One thing I've done on occasion is to use a patch cable that is patched to one of the Strega outputs to trigger the various circle touch plates. This can yield some really unexpected sounds, especially if you finesse the time/filter circuit.

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Woah awesome, thanks so much! That’s a great call about using a patch cable to activate the touch bridges. I’ve only played around with that once or twice, but now that you mention it, I’m for sure going to dig deeper into that the next time I play. Thanks for the suggestion 👾

[@soundsuncommon]

@@MatthewShapiroModular Yeah - I got the idea from a Cinematic Laboratory video a while back and later created a piece with that idea. The video is here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/opTIlXichr9sjdE), mostly showing which touch bridges I used. The results are pretty gnarly. I saw another video yesterday (this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLGqHZrftKro9U) that did something similar, and also used other objects (like a paper clip) to trigger the external input via a patch cable.

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

@@soundsuncommon woah awesome! Stoked to check these out, thanks for sending.

[@tonysharp1615]

Thank you again Matthew. It all makes more sense to me now. 😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Awesome and of course! Glad to hear it. Thank you 👾

[@vgermuse]

Most excellent, clear and concise 💥🙇‍♂️

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thanks so much, Todd!

[@poltergeist0]

Thanks for the clear explanation! Obviously you know what you're talking about =) Would you mind doing a similar video for the touch bridges and pathways? Or perhaps another section of your reference guide covering them? Some of them are clear to me, like the various subharmonics and activation bridge, but I'm not sure on the difference between the various time and filter touch bridges. Thanks for your dedication!

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

I appreciate that! Thank you. And a vid/guide for the touch plates is a great idea- I’ll start working on those. Thanks for the suggestion! 👾

[@davocado]

hi matthew, love your channel. quick question: is it possible to clock the pops of the subharmonics output with an external source like keystep?

[@MatthewShapiroModular]

Thanks very much! Yes, you can do that. The subharmonic output follows the pitch of the oscillator (oscillator frequency divided by 4). So you’d want to send voltages to the oscillator’s 1v/octave input and have the main frequency (Tonic) set pretty low and dial in the voltage you send it to get your desired rhythms. Does that make sense?

[@davocado]

@@MatthewShapiroModular cheers
