Thanks dude.

If you set the random/conditional value for a note to be really high, like around 80-90%, then you get a thing where it almost always plays and just once in a while feels different and more alive. It's worth playing with.

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

The watch was there to prevent us from hanging in there for too long, Mister F ;-) I can hardly wait for your Jamuary adventure with this setup. 31 days of arps are ahead!

Kareeaiiizzy! Nicely done! I "tasted" Tangerine Dream moods (ala Berlin School) exactly like you said. It did worth the listening time.

I’ve messing around with random voltage (Pam’s) to the pulse count last weekend. This was send to a three stage, eight step baseline. I used an accumulator on one of the stages. It was definitely one of those “who knew!” moments.

I’m a big fan of accumulators for sure. Happy patching!

Hell yeah! Right up my alley. I'd love to see a whole modular recording method workflow breakdown. Do you record modular snippets in session mode? I've thought about moving to Ableton for this and other MIDI reasons. Thanks duder, great job

I’ll break it down further in future videos for sure. I do a little explanation in this video here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mpp1dNWYs6ucXYU.htmlsi=fELlBXiqTd1inbHI

Hi, as an exploration it sounds really fine, was setting up gear for a new recording (modular one) and didn't't see any of your comments... Was just listening and one thing that came up in my mind (although Berlin School lovers will disagree at some point): maybe put some randomness on the sequences? Maybe to experimental for real Berlin School? But anyway I would say this jam succeeded for sure... "Cool, mussle memory comment on the end". Looking forward to the next episode. Cheers, SONICrider
@SONICrider 7 ай бұрын
Heard your comment on the randomness, I understand, I use the Home Komplex Sequencer where one part of the sequencer changes the start and length of the part of the sequencer that plays the cv's/gates. That way is is kinda randomness but over time there is a repetition for sure (only it takes longer before you actually notice that). As said, just a thought I liked this one 🙂.

It’ll take time and practice. Plus I’m still learning the gear as of trying to under stand the control structures. I feel good do far. ;)

I think modular is a rabbit hole I'd better stay away from! Safer just to watch someone else.
@synthseeker 7 ай бұрын
Yes. 1000000% yes.
@dejangaletic7884 7 ай бұрын
Not a rabbit hole. It's better to have a few modular cases instead of one huge. There is a time to sell useless modules from time to time but overall it's pure fun.
@synthseeker 7 ай бұрын
And very addictive. At least to me. :)

as a kid, were your science fair projects ready a month ahead of time or were you up the night before scrambling to patch it all together? Nice progress btw!

If you would spend a few moments talking about the voices that you're using, wave forms, modules, anything modulating them, that would be helpful - I have a hard time getting the tones I want from my modules. . .

Very good, enjoyed that. I understand ratchet but what are accumulators?
@synthseeker 7 ай бұрын
As the pattern loops you can define certain notes that change each time it’s their turn to play, where at each pass their note value increases or decreases…”accumulating” new pitches. It’s part of the Metropolix sequencer. :)

I was wondering about drums too, in Berlin school music. I've had a hard time implementing kick or snare. But if you listen to TD's Hyper Sphinx for example, there's a good amount of drums there (I know, later works and all). I especially think the toms work well.
