Why You NEED a Verbos Electronics SCAN & PAN

This video we're looking at the Verbos Electronics module. I talk about the features, show example patches on how to utilize this module, and my favorite things about it. After creating the start of a track, hopefully this demonstrates why it is a great module to add to your eurorack synth collection!

I just found your videos, they're immensely helpful in understanding what I can do with my modules, as I'm still early in my modular journey. Also, apparently we're neighbors! Excited to hear and see more from you!

[@Nematomusic]

Awesome to hear! 🤙🏼 Thank you!

[@millieinthedark]

The production quality of your videos is great! Keep it up!

[@Nematomusic]

Thanks for the support! 🤙🏼 Should have some more content up soon!

[@Gandi800]

Randomly came across your channel and have been going through your videos and laughed when you showed you were in MN! So hello from the southern metro!

[@Nematomusic]

Bill Allen awesome! Always nice meeting people in the same state with this wild hobby/passion!

[@robvbeats]

awesome! I Think I need one of these~

[@piotr803]

Good video. One thing I wished you showed was turning that gain knob to impart saturation, e.g. using a couple of drum samples and synth sounds. Maybe in a follow-up video? cheeers

[@Nematomusic]

Can do!

[@lockyp204]

Cheers bro... Been on the fence with this

[@Nematomusic]

If you get it I hope you enjoy it! I think it’s great!

[@lockyp204]

Nemato You’ve definitely planted the seed

[@bio303]

Really lovely. What’s handling your chords at the end?

[@Nematomusic]

Ah of course! Underneath that Manis oscillator there are two AJH Synth VCOs, sharktooth waves, running through the transistor laddder filter being sequenced by the Rene! 👌🏼 Thank you!

[@junaidf]

What lens, camera and LUT settings are using for your videos? Looks clean AF

[@Nematomusic]

Sony A6400 with a Sigma 16 mm. I used to use a Canon t5i and will probably incorporate that back for some more angles, but I just use my own color correction within FCPX

[@ivanpresicci587]

Just bought my one! ;)

[@Nematomusic]

I hope you enjoy it if I influenced that! 😅

[@ivanpresicci587]

@@Nematomusic I've been keeping an eye on this module for months, and now i just decided to grab it to complete my verbos rack! Thanks! 🙃😜

[@stolencoats63]

Good stuff. Automation skit had me cracking up. Def gonna pick up this module. Seems perfect for what I'm looking for. One question for ya: is that one or two tiptop mantis cases? And did you paint them black?

[@Nematomusic]

It’s just one. At the time I had a 5 row (15u), 126 hp per rail custom case next to the Mantis. Yes I painted it black…which I wish I would’ve spent a little more time on 😅 The power supply in those is super easy to remove so I just spray painted it black. Wish I would’ve used a better clear coat to protect it, but I sorta rushed it to get the modules back in. Overtime the paint started chipping and I eventually just built my large case for my studio now!

[@stolencoats63]

@@Nematomusic future tip...painting is kinda one of my things...moreso than modular haha...krylon fusion spraypaint is the best hands down for plastic...2 or 3 light coats then a wetter final coat so finish is nice and even...no need for clearcoat.

[@stolencoats63]

Kinda making me want to paint my mantis!

[@Nematomusic]

@@stolencoats63 You should! I could only handle that tan type color for so long when I was swapping most of my panels for black ones 😅

[@gertvanessche6568]

I would have loved some more info on the distortion you mentioned

[@Nematomusic]

I made a separate video highlighting the saturation with this module on my channel 👍🏼

[@scottfowles]

You basically built your own model d with all those mini mod vcos, that's awesome. Does it sound close?

[@Nematomusic]

It sounds sooo good! Definitely my “go to” part of my system for just about anything. I’ll try to get a video up on the system here soon! 👌🏼

[@lenylecointre3304]

It's not exactly the same but it feel like the make noise X-pan could do similare things with the paning. I didnt realy get what the scan part was but is it similare thant the x-fade ?

[@Nematomusic]

For sure! Very similar designs with slightly different executions, and I would argue this one gives you a little more. “Scan” is definitely like X-fade, just across all four channels instead of two, plus you have the “attenuator” options of width and center to kind of define where it’s scanning from in the stereo field and how far/wide. PLUS! individual panning control and modulation across the 4 channels. It can get wild! 🤙🏼

[@jonathanmeager8263]

Does it crossfade as such or is the fading between the channels pretty abrupt? Can you use CV on the VCA channels at the same time as the scan functionality?

[@NBSStudioMusic]

And the most important! Where can I order those knobs from?

[@Nematomusic]

www.adafruit.com/product/2057 These are the ones I have on the majority of my modules. Liked them because they were similar to the Noise Engineering modules, which you can actually get here: www.electro-smith.com/parts/noise-engineering-knob

[@NBSStudioMusic]

@@Nematomusic thank you so much for the reply! Unfortunately, I see the shipping to where I live cost 40$ :(

[@Nematomusic]

@@NBSStudioMusic Bummer! Customizing these things sure gets expensive with panels and knobs.

[@NBSStudioMusic]

@@Nematomusic yep... already replaced almost all panels to black... (which was crazy expansive) I will try to think about a solution for this crazy shipping cost. Anyway, thank you for replying. Love your videos ;)

[@gdhancz]

Good stuff! Zadar seems useful, Any cons?

[@Nematomusic]

With the Zadar? I’d have to nitpick, but I wish there was a way I could create my own envelopes, but with the 270 that are in there and modulation, I don’t know that it would add much. I’m not much for menu diving, but it’s really an easy module to navigate and tons of modulation capabilities in only 10 hp!

[@Nematomusic]

I actually did a video on the Zadar too if you haven’t watched it!!

[@bleekzaXXX]

god that outro jam was beautiful

[@Nematomusic]

Thank you! ✨

[@NKHHOTUK]

Its rainig here in manchester uk

[@kevinhattori9661]

I might have a couple spare knurlies if you decide you want to screw down your mult in that case! :P

[@Nematomusic]

Just filling the space until the Paratek modules get here 😋

[@kevinhattori9661]

@@Nematomusic haha, so you have some but you're too lazy to use them. I see how it is! What other corners are you cutting in your life? :D

[@Nematomusic]

Using a Scan & Pan for panning effects 😉

[@ericmosh]

At the moment there are a pleasant 60° in Germany. :D

[@Nematomusic]

I need a vacation it sounds like!

[@ericmosh]

@@Nematomusic Sure, why not? :D

[@vinylarchaeologist]

So wait. You exchanged the Verbos knobs for another brand? Instead of exchanging all of your modular's knobs for Verbos ones? Is that even legal?

[@Nematomusic]

Having Verbos in my system at least has to count for something... right? Ha! I’m a sucker for the Noise Engineering style knobs, but many would agree with you!

[@vinylarchaeologist]

@@Nematomusic Thank you for replying to my silly comment :) Indeed, I’ve always only seen people going for those red Buchla-style knobs for their entire system, and not sacrilegiously exchanging their Verbos knobs. Which makes it all the more cooler that you did :)
