As an amateur engineer, for a while I was seeing digital emulation as the end of advancing a lot of underdeveloped technologies but fortunately "maker" culture has actually resulted in the slow growing advancement and popularity of systems stylized in tradition but provided modern advancements. *It's a huge difference between a simulation on a touch screen and actual hardware that does what the simulation replicates due to the way most people learn and remember.* Even with such impressive simulations, *dedicated hardware is still superior and still far from going out of style or being left behind by technological advancements.*

Thanks! That was cool! You have actually shown what Morphagene can do... I didn't get it before (typical for me with MN modules....). Damn, another to add to the ever growing list!

Glad to hear that. Totally agree that the layout of all MN modules is just confusing, but they are so hands-on once you spend some time with them!

Morphagene was the reason why I became an eurorack junkie, so much so that I will get a Morphagene tatoo in a month. I also own arbahr. both will stay in my system forever. Gosh I love these 2 modules. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very nice comparison video. Came here thinking the Morphagene was what I was looking for, but now I’m intrigued by Arbhar. I’ve already got Mojave and Beads, so I feel covered in terms of granular textures, but this seems to being another level of control
@TheSoundConvergence

Glad to hear the video helped! Yeah, I would say Arbhar and Morphagene are quite different to Mojave and Beads as Mojave and Beads focus on granular live processing whereas I normally use Arbhar and Morphagene with pre-made samples. Mixing 6 samples into one granular cloud is what stands out on the Arbhar for me, whereas the Morphagene will give you a very different flavour of sample slicing compared to the other 3. I think it comes down to how big your Eurorack case is, much you love the granular sound and if you can justify having a third granular engine.

@@TheSoundConvergence yeah all great points for sure. I'm in the process of trying to put together a compact 64HP ambient system, so space is limited. Likely gonna grab a uBurst to accompany Morphagene to still get that granular flavor while maintaining a small footprint. So many ways of doing things! Thanks again for the reply and the great video.

The ‘call and response’ patch you created on the Arbhar is amazing-it’s probably my favourite patch I’ve heard on it. Would love to see more of this in the future (or a patch diagram :)

And actually, how are you creating that gate pattern?
@TheSoundConvergence

@@wilhelm_yells Hi! Thanks for the kind words. I will try to incorporate more patch diagrams in the future :) The gate pattern of the main synth is a "bouncing ball patch" (not sure if thats the official name): One looping envelope with its release time modulated by a second envelope. In the beginning the release time is short so many envelopes are triggered, the longer the release time becomes, less envelopes will be triggered. Make Noise Maths is an easy module to set this up with / I am actually explaining this gate sequence in more detail in my next video coming out end of the week :)

Can you share anymore on the call and response patch, really nice just don’t follow 100% how you’ve set this up and what mode arbhar is in?
@TheSoundConvergence
@TheSoundConvergence Ай бұрын
Totally, Arbhar is in regular mode (not follower mode) and the intensity is set to 0. In the patch a gate triggers 2 envelopes, the first envelope is controlling a VCA and with that the volume of my main synthesizer. The second envelope is set up to increase Arbhars intensity value once envelope 1 is falling and we can barely hear the synth anymore. So in the patch you will hear either main synth or Arbhar at a time. It is call and response because whenever the main synth is playing it is also recorded into the Arbhar (you can see the record button is on at those times), so when it is Arbhars time to play, it will repeat and granularize the synthesizer phrase just heard, thus call and response. Hope that helps!

Are these modules suitable for creating techno? Is it possible to synchronize them with bmp?
@TheSoundConvergence
@TheSoundConvergence Ай бұрын
Hard to tell. It really depends what you want to use them for. Neither will replace proper techno drums, for example. Both modules play back samples so you if put in suitable samples, Arbhar will make textures that fit techno, and the Morphagene can do similar things as well. Neither works great with (bpm) clock input both both can be sent gate triggers into to trigger samples exactly on the beat or timings you want. That works.

The inability of Arbhar to retune via the pitch knob in quantized steps is maddening, otherwise great module. Just always out of tune
