I just bought a Crave today, and these videos are just incredibly helpful. I'm watching them in order, and this one in particular is not only instructive but full of really cool ideas. Thank you.

The way your videos present clear understanding of this unit is highly educational... I much appreciate the time and effort that it takes to share your knowledge in a video format... Thank you very much...

I honestly think these videos should be shown in schools! They are AMAZING! I've been using synths for years, but this is still very watchable! The simplicity is the beauty. Cheers! 🎉

Was trying to find a comprehensive tutorial on the Neutron's patch-bay. Could not find one, but this was a big help. Much appreciated.

Dude you're an amazing educator, I have been diving deep along your videos and feel confident in what I'm learning.

Just bookmarked this video forever.

Best video yet in a fantastic series. Patching finally makes (almost) perfect sense! I have thoroughly enjoyed all your previous videos, even the early ones covering the basics. I wish this stuff had been around a couple years ago when I got my Crave. Something here for everyone from total beginners to forgetful old gadgies like me. You explain everything in an ultra-easy to understand style using an ultra-affordable synth. Great stuff mate. Thank you and keep 'em coming....PLEASE!

I feel like I've advanced so quickly listening to your videos . One minute I got it out the box and I can do some basic stuff next minute I'm watching your videos and doing what I thought I could do and more . Thanks

Brilliant instruction. Bravo. Outstandingly helpful and informative vid. Thank you!

This is one of the greatest series of videos on youtube! Thank you so much. A Neutron series might be the only way to top it :)

Beautifully explained, thanks so much, I’ve learned so much about semi-modular from this series.

"Oh, there's that *swing* again!" My chromebook with maxed volume, you're hard to hear clearly, but I have a fan going because the sun lives over my house, so it's even harder to hear. I thought you said, "Oh, there's that *slime* again!" Honestly, it works either way. The swing on the Crave is slimy, it's always creeping out of the shadow and gooing you up. Straight DIRTY! BUT, now consider that the phrase that was accidentally swung was in the harmonic minor, so it was extra creepy and slimy. I never really hear the harmonic minor in that way, I think I use it for epicly triumphant, but gilded lines... naw, I've a tune (prayer) that was in harmonic minor and it was a little slippery, like a serpent, which is quite dry, but evokes a kind of slipperyness... but nothing approaching "slimy." But in your usage, boy did that creepy, unexpected slimy swing exponentially increase the slip in the harmonic minor into profoundly slimy territory. And now in reflection, I'm realizing a class of music that employs the harmonic minor with swing to immense slimy effect. I never really considered what motivated the slime in this music, but now I see, you take that slippery harmonic minor and swing it, and ear wax just pours out your ears. DIRTY! I jest. Though, I did really mishear you, but the term I heard slime really did click for me, and made perfect sense. It was a mistake, but it lead to a serious music history and theory realization! But, nonetheless, I jest, but I am serious, your series on the Crave has been revelatory. I have substantially greater command of the sequencer. Artfully, not technically, mastering it is unfortunately a ways off, but without the technical proficiency YOU'VE given ME, the realization of its full artistic potential was impossible. It is now possible, thanks to you, so, thanks to you! And with this patching video, what I felt to be a somewhat limited set of patch points based upon my previous usage (before this last week) has exploded with potential, I've had so many tricky patching ideas that are totally novel to me, to the point where I think I know what *should* (maybe the slimiest word of all) happen, and the sound that should result... but with modular synthesis... I find concepts that should "work" in a certain way, and they might in digital, but in analog, with micro lag, or slew of waveforms of voltage changes, especially at audio rates, produces something else entirely, demented wave forms with bizarre harmonics. Anyway, I go on, only meaning to thank and encourage you and your teaching work here on KZfaq. I greatly appreciate what you've done here from the portion of your body of work I have so far experienced. Which, isn't much, but from what little (I hope, I hope there is a lot more yet undiscovered) I have experienced, has produced great advances in my understanding and facility with the Crave.

Exxxxtraordinary....what a teacher

Hey Eric, your vids are fantastic. With your help the crave is a very nice machine. Keep it up. I will watch the other vids too.

I can't thank you enough for this video (+ video #7). As a 40+ right-brained creative, who broadly understands LFOs and ADSR envelopes - but is hopelessly new to CV patching - this kind of thorough breakdown is really informative to me, and has given me a path to using the Crave more creatively. Really appreciate the forensic, molecular-level approach. Next video: a guide to the Korg MS20 patchbay, ha! I also have one of those, and am yet to actually figure out how to use the patching on it.

yes!! this is why I got a Crave

your videos about crave usage are very usefull. thanx forn your sharing

Real Master.

You did it again!

Thanks again . Amazing . Please give US morencontent on Crave . All the best !

Nice tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow. Ty. ❤️

Thank you kind sir! Helped tremendously! Where should we sign the petition to make you an official representative for any analog\modular synth manufacturer? I've never seen something so complicated explained so... i don't know, accessible?

According to instruction ENV out can give voltage up to 8V... while all INs can accept only max 5V (at least instruction says like that) ;)

Nice Video! Is it Dawless gear?

Holy saints!!! I did not reduced the sound, when I plugged the speaker into the VСF output !!! It was loud ... Why I hear anything, when connect the VCF and ex audio input?

Were you the narrator in American Psycho?

So all these tutorials would apply to the Behringer Edge as well? Cheers.

Could you please create so great tutorial for Modal Skulpt SE?

Can you send vca to multiple for two outputs?

where is that black cable in the vca/line going to please??

7:48 - 8:36 🤤
