Winter Modular - Eloquencer *FIRST PATCH*

[@kirabarsmith9353]

Another sic bassline, sounds like early acid house with a modern twist, thumbs up.

[@DivKid]

Nice one Kira, good reference!

[@melter_rob]

Love what did with the delay and verb through the freeze. Brilliant textural idea!

[@DivKid]

I find it a shame the freeze passes audio sometimes. So I try to mess with the audio before into it usually. I would like a mode where it passes nothing unless it's active.

[@davidsimons1377]

I like the idea of being able to use it as either a drum or pitch sequencer, presumably together if you want. Pity its fairly expensive but still.

[@DivKid]

Yeah I use it for both. Drums with some modulation (using the pitch as a modulator for the drums) and then one or two synth voices.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@DivKid it is a great sequencer and very easy to use.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

This and Vector are my favorite sequencers for Eurorack.

[@andreasoberg2021]

How do you think this compares to Erica Black Sequencer? I love the red buttons in the middle that shows the track which seems better than in Erica. But Erica has more features as I understand.

[@DivKid]

I haven't used the Erica enough to really compare and I've used the Eloquencer loads. Not saying the Erica is better, just that for me speed and muscle memory beats everything else a lot of the time. Considering I'm having to turn things around quickly a lot of the time with how I use modular for video work etc.

[@JB-xv4bw]

oh my good thats that woody FM bass, goosebumps

[@DivKid]

yeah good fun that patch.

[@kierenmoore3236]

I like it. Looks user-friendly/intuitive, too.

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Kieren Moore Agreed, thats the vibe these instruments/sound tools should give, not feel like a scary science lesson. The module looks very fun.

[@DivKid]

yeah I thought with all the 8 tracks and features it would be more of a learning curve but it's really to get going.

[@shapeshifter9079]

I'm hesitating between the Erica Black Sequencer and the Winter Modular Eloquencer, any advise ? For your information I'm not so beat oriented I'm making more long modulating pieces. Thanks

[@VictorSteiner]

And I got that Digitakt to not start the damn expensive eurorack-drum story .... the Digitakt is good enough ... the Digitakt is good enough.

[@DivKid]

Digitakt is good enough Digitakt is good enough haha

[@mrfmodular4082]

Nice! Good kick!!

[@DivKid]

Cheers!

[@markmccarthy3304]

I can't decide on this or the Varigate 8+ and Voltage Block combined. Which would be better for live performance Ben?

[@Natemasterflex]

Mark McCarthy I have both and like both equally so far for different reasons. I’ve only had the Eloquencer for about a month and still getting used to it. The Eloquencer is more focused on probabilities and randomness. I would get the Eloquencer and a voltage block. Hope that helps.

[@Natemasterflex]

Also, I don’t really care for the buttons on the Eloquencer. They misfire constantly, you can see it’s happening to Ben in this video as well.

[@DivKid]

Varigate is definitely all about probability with every gate sider having a slider from 0%-100% but Voltage Block and the CV side not as much as the Eloquencer. Really hard to pick something for someone else. The interfaces will be better for some than others.

[@johnvdl]

I love that patch, great melody and fat sounds too! Is it important to know how to read notes when I buy an Eliquencer?

[@noisehead]

I have a question about the eloquencer. Can you create swing or off beat gates for hihat and percs while keeping the other outs quantized? I am looking to use it as a drum sequencer :)

[@DivKid]

There's a percentage based swing setting. But it's global. You can use the ratchets to place beats on 1 or 3 positions between the step you're on and the next step. So per channel, per step you can adjust timing. But not totally variably.

[@noisehead]

@@DivKid Thank you a lot it just arrived ^^ I am not able to increase the gate length to more than one step but maybe ill find a workaround.

[@etchonmind3687]

Looks a bit like the buttons for step1-16 didn´t always respond reliably? For example, when you set the probability for the main beats and deactivated 6-8 and 14-16, did you just press them in a wrong way ie user error, or were the buttons not as responsive as they should be, ie less than ideal scanning frequency or mechanical issue or something?

[@MadelnMachines]

What are some good kick modules? That one sounds decent.

[@DivKid]

What sort of kick? Analogue? 808? 909? Samples?

[@MadelnMachines]

@@DivKid What did you use in the video? Any kind of analog really. I quite fancy something like a Jomox 09 or Vermona but wonder what else is good. Something very tweakable with a powerful sound. I'm not really into scanning through samples.

[@DivKid]

Listening to this the kick is the Mutable Instruments Peaks which has a kick drum mode on it's first channel. The snare is also Peaks on channel 2.

[@JB-it3kx]

What patch cables are you using here?

[@mrotaveria]

I was listening "innocence" by Roisin Murphy right before seeing this video. The bassline is pretty similar, i double checked if Spotify was stopped :D

[@DivKid]

ah cool, well the random generators (the bass riff was entirely randomly spawned) must be pretty musical

[@BrunoWiebelt]

a nifty sques-ranger, an elektron Digitakt style good interface

[@DivKid]

Yeah some similarity with the little screen

[@killbun]

Ben - you often talked about making more videos with the Eloquencer (probably on another channel) - did you do so, or didn't it fulfill your expectations?
