An indepth look at the Behringer 297 Dual Portamento CV Utilities module. I go through the features and how you can use them in your setup. I also test out the voltages on a multimeter and check out the waveforms on an oscilloscope.

Great presentation!! I was disappointed in the very small portamento range but the trick of adding in the +10 voltage made the portamento far more usable. I now have enough range with enough controllability to make the portamento controls usable. Thank you very much!!

Really cool to see the oscilloscope display what's happening, well done.

Thanks Kira. I'm also liking the immediate visual feedback when using it.

I'm a noob in modular, this was really helpful for me to decide what next to buy from the Behringer 100 series. I really liked the square-wave envelope follower in the last couple of minutes!

If you feed a vco output into the 'sig in' on the mixer and out (labelled 1 or 2) into the behringer mults module. It raises the power enough to stop pitch drop when using several outputs. A tip I found on the Tim Shoebridge page 👍

Apart from the portamento section, and it being dual, it’s similar to my AJH synth CV mix - offset - vca module 🤙🏼 Dreadbox Utopia has a similar section, I guess they were all inspired by the system 100 💯

Definitely food for thought with this module... do I have buy a multimeter and an oscilloscope now?

@ranzee 3 жыл бұрын

You don't really need one, as you know - but they are so handy when you need a little bit of help to visualise what the hell we're doing ;) ... There are some cheap Eurorack modules that have small oscilloscope screens - then there's the more pricey MORDAX DATA (which actually costs more than what I spent on my Siglient scope!)

Excellent video, thanks for your in depth explanation! One noob question: can I use the CV mixer (1 and 2) as regular audio mixers? Thanks!

tip: for anyone living in the US, get your Behringer modules from Thomann USA. They are SO MUCH cheaper than anywhere else.

@kgreggbruce1552 5 ай бұрын

Lies, damn dirty lies. They are in fact MORE EXPENSIVE at Thomannn. Avoid at all costs.

@kgreggbruce1552 at the time I posted it was accurate. Maybe sweetwater finally lowered prices.

Thank you for your series about system 100, I just received my first basic modules last Friday, no portamento yet. For me the CV for portamento seems to be very interesting. Have you tried to modify a gate voltage by controling portamento with noise (maybe via S&H)? I would expect, that this results in a „humanization“ of the gate since the slope changes continuously… what could be nice for Hihat sound or similar rhythmic patterns.

Are those silicone patch cables? They sure drape nice. If so, which brand are those? (the flourescent green one and the red one)

I am new to all this. I am looking for a module which will simply take a clock signal which is on 1 and 3 and output a signal which is on 2 and 4 - e.g. for a snare drum. I am assuming this can be done with an inverter. Would this module do the job? Thanks! :)

In reading about this module online, there is talk about a v2 coming out in the 2nd half half 2022 the had "fixed" the small porta range. Do yo happen to know about that?

Hey, thanks for the detailed video! Im already a synth geek but im out of mixers and this fella seems like a nice buy.. i really like that the mixer has static voltage outputs, its very useful, especially if you want to fine tune the slew. The slew.. well is a slew but its badly calibrated. But i like this kind of stuff, thats what makes analog analog right?
