XAOC Devices - Kamieniec

[@buyukberber]

Rule number one in Eurorack: If you ever get the itch to sell a module, go watch a DivKid Demo of that very module you own before making a decision of letting it go... Works very time! Thank you Ben!

[@DivKid]

nice one Oguz, glad to help out with modules you already own.

[@i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

Love how the Rampage has fun with itself.

[@ryanpwm]

Lol yeah. I wonder if he charges for those slots on the side. I have no idea if this is a thing or how he sets up compensation for products that companies give him to review... Just if I had all eyes on me for demonstrating synths I would offer that lol. Like x amount of videos your stuff is next to the module I’m reviewing.

[@devmiles]

this module sounds so good and rich. i can listen for hours to such a good phaser!

[@DivKid]

it's definitely a lovely one.

[@simondemeule3934]

Really great demo, well thought and carried out. I love it that you show feedback patches, FM, pinging and a variety of inputs. This thing has lots of character, both harsh and subtle. It'll will most likely end up in my rack at some point

[@DivKid]

Hey Simon, it's a great module lots of good features and it often makes it's way into my patching.

[@PatrickOBrien]

I've never heard anything like it. I'm pretty stoked to demo this myself. Great vid Ben, as always.

[@DivKid]

Cheers Patrick!

[@Basimilus]

you make every module sound so good.

[@DivKid]

There's honestly so much good gear around that sounds good. I just try to show it for what it is.

[@homeslice1479]

This module was at the top of my list of odd-numbered hp modules BEFORE I watched your video. Now I gotta have this thing haha

[@DivKid]

enjoy it

[@RobinRimbaudScanner]

Now that's sounding very tasty! I love a good phaser! I like to set them to stun :-)

[@DivKid]

ba doom tish!

[@homeslice1479]

Stun is 10 o'clock or below. Taking that resonance past 12 o'clock goes well past kill and into "whatever-you-point-this-at-is-gone-forever" territory O_o

[@ChrisBrooker]

Good gad, this thing is nuts! The typical phaser sounds are beautiful but that resonance is what sold it for me. Helloooooo bonkers territory!

[@DivKid]

:)

[@RobinRimbaudScanner]

and nice to hear you are a funk guitar master at the end!! :-)

[@DivKid]

haha thanks Robin. Lot of that style of playing in my gigging history. I'm a stay at home string fiddler at the minute though.

[@MAXDOG34]

Great via as always, Ben. Gotta check one of these out, love a good phaser.👍

[@DivKid]

Thank you, appreciate the comment.

[@pedroeustache5511]

This is amazing, insane new sonic territory... just fantastic!!! thanks for this!! brilliant!

[@DivKid]

Thanks Pedro.

[@ryanpwm]

So glad I found this. So many phasors always have to have lfo modulation but they’re so useful for like heavy bass design when operated manually or with an envelope. Or when you can just find a spot and hold it.

[@MUNRO13]

Yes! You put some drums through it 👍👍👍

[@kr61ab67]

Great modules from Xaoc, another winner !

[@precarious333]

Damn! That thing is hot! I love phasers so this is must have. Even sounds great static as a nasal filter. Looking forward to the demo of Belgrad.

[@DivKid]

It does sound great, I've been playing guitar and keyboard synths through it a lot.

[@ys521wow]

DivKidVideo have u tried importing instruments w Sewastopol and out to Kamieniec ?

[@schwajj]

"... Smallstone, the wasted mode I'm not so sure". 😂 at the deadpan delivery.

[@DivKid]

haha unintentional I must haven't forgotten mode was what!

[@richarquis]

@@DivKid Was that the bit at 4.20?

[@lauprellim]

Thanks so much for this really helpful demo.

[@homeslice1479]

This video got XAOC a sale! Pay the man!

[@cold_fashioned]

I thiiiinnnnnk it sounds like "Kam-IN-itch", but I'm no expert. Great vid, as always, and a really cool module.

[@DivKid]

Good call, probably much closer than I said it :)

[@mpingo91]

Actually it is pronounced something like come yeah nyets. Or after wiki - [kaˈmjɛɲɛt͡s]. Named probably after former polish city and a legendary castle.

[@outaspaceman]

I was going to be sensible and get the Doepfer a-125 VCP, then I watched this...😍

[@DivKid]

haha bye bye sensibility.

[@wackenthaljef]

Beautiful modules....

[@DivKid]

absolutely

[@proxymerchant]

Well damn it I fucking need this now. STONED / WASTED?!? Yes please. XAOC can do no wrong. Thanks for the push Div!

[@phosfiend]

my god this sounds good

[@DivKid]

certainly does.

[@philtobin9510]

This is a tasty module Ben, Love those sweeps, and self mod sound phat. Off topic, I should never have sold my Rampage.

[@DivKid]

No you shouldn't Rampage is great! Shame on you :)

[@philtobin9510]

After spending the time building it too. Hmmmm

[@DivKid]

long build isn't it?

[@philtobin9510]

It was quite a long build. I'll happily buy it again.

[@DivKid]

Yeah well worth it.

[@yoianrhodes]

wasted and stoned, i mean... im usually one while i mess with modular

[@DivKid]

fair enough.

[@WillFehlhaberMusicOfficial]

GODDAMNIT BEN MAKING ME WANT AND FEEL THINGS THAT I SHOULDN'T! great module though. seems okay for the size as well. just a question though. what do you suggest for doing stereo. do you think just mult to duplicate final stage of signal chain to your out? or do you know of any good pseudo stereo module effects?

[@DivKid]

Stereo FX on the output maybe? Or actually make stereo chains which is the same as doing polyphonic stuff essentially. Two VCOs, two Filters and two VCAs then take each VCA as left and right. That's just a basic idea. For big wavetable drones something like an E350 taking the XY to one side and Z to the other is nice.

[@echopraxia1554]

so if you just run both outs into the mixer panned Left/right will you achieve a wide stereo field effect?

[@DivKid]

Hey, I do this on with the guitar later in the video. Skip into 11:09 at this link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIPWn5SQbppsbKsm9s - and I recorded both outputs in stereo. There is an image but it's not super wide.

[@frankpalomacity]

a need one of this!!

[@DivKid]

yeah certainly do, we all do!

[@frankpalomacity]

it sounds great,reminds me phaser effect on Phedra (tangerine dream)

[@DivKid]

good reference.

[@zacharythostesen4891]

Killer! I love that you experiment with the 'not so pretty' bits of the module. Just curious have you had experience with the Deflector Shield and if so how do you think they compare? I've loved my e560 but this guy is much smaller and a bit easier on my power consumption. Plus the feedback on this is really nice.

[@DivKid]

Hey Zachary, thanks for the comment. I haven't tried the deflector shield so can't comment on that one. This is fantastic though! It gets a lot of use from me.

[@schwajj]

This makes me want to hear you review the intellijel Polaris

[@DivKid]

I'm sure I'll have some more demo stuff to come with Intellijel in the future. Rainmaker was the first I did with them. We briefly mentioned the Springray2 on Facebook so that could be next.

[@lucasdenefle7960]

hi mate, I'm trying to start modular, could you make a video explaining what modules are good to start with ?

[@DivKid]

Hey Lucas, I'd say join Muff Wiggler and Facebook groups and start reading and researching loads before buying anything. I'll have some things in the future that will be useful. For now I strongly suggest Tuesday Night Machines channel and his modular basics series. Also Chris Meyer and Learning Modular is fantastic too.

[@lucasdenefle7960]

DivKidVideo thanks mate

[@el_dani]

Best introduction today: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmPFoGyYpMqXe9U

[@davemaier8350]

Thanks, sounds great! (I don't know about the vowels, but I bet the "c" sounds like "ts", so I'd guess "kah mee nee ehts").

[@DivKid]

Cheers Dave. Closer than me I'm sure.

[@piotr803]

Something like: kah-'mye-nyeh-ts (stress on the second syllable). Either way - great review Ben!

[@Noizefield]

Awesome

[@DivKid]

thanks

[@Symmetry77]

What is the oscillator going into it? Sounds very roland-ish, or is that the effect of the phaser?

[@DivKid]

More the effect of the phaser than the oscillators I imagine. I can't remember what the oscillator was going into it to be honest. Could have been an AFG, PDO or Dixie thinking about what was around the set up at that time.

[@Symmetry77]

DivKidVideo cool thanks appreciated

[@DivKid]

no worries.

[@T8ped]

can it reasonably track 1v/oct?

[@mynameismynameis666]

it is pronounced CHAOS devices. why? because the "X" is the kyrillic letter for the sound that "CH" represents and the "C" in kyrillic is the "S" in roman letters. so "Chaos" is literally what you get if you transscript the letters from kyrillic to roman

[@DivKid]

can't remember what I say exactly from years back in the video ... but thanks for the clarification, appreciate it. And glad I've been saying Chaos Devices.

[@mynameismynameis666]

@@DivKid great video still, still wanna have the module. still confusion about the company name...

[@slopedefinition]

kamieniec vs deflector shield ??

[@DivKid]

Don't have a Deflector Shield so can't compare.

[@genemaruszewski4660]

sounds like KAH-myenyetz

[@DivKid]

thank you.

[@djangomixify]

Anyone tried 2 of these in stereo?

[@DivKid]

now that would be a thing. Or twin a mid side matrix!

[@brnsndwch]

aroud 9:26 it made my whole body vibrate :O so weird

[@DivKid]

hopefully a nice vibrating body episode

[@brnsndwch]

@@DivKid yee, twas nice

[@kierenmoore3236]

Coldest phaser I ever heard. :/ How many stages is it?

[@DivKid]

"coldest' really? Compared to what? The stages are on the panel on two different outputs which I go through in the video at multiple points. But, there's a 4 stage and a 6 stage output.

[@kierenmoore3236]

I'm used to vintage analog guitar pedals: eg (re phasers) Mutron, MXR, even early Roland/Boss. Which is why pretty much all eurorack FX modules (even effects most synth players I know are familiar with) sound pretty cold/sterile to me. Same with eurorack delays, and most reverbs.

[@kierenmoore3236]

I tend to prefer fewer stages (typically 4), but analog.

[@DivKid]

This is an analogue phaser, but totally fair enough if you're not into the sound of it. Some pedals sound great, others not so much. There's also a range of great and more basic or lacking FX in euro too that are just simple re-hashes of a specific chip or well known circuit.

[@kierenmoore3236]

A lot of it is to do with the chips they use these days. They just don't manufacture those old delay chips anymore. It's nothing to do with the eurorack format, per se.

[@ЕвгенийПолянский-м4ц]
