that's what I wanted to hear

Derek Jones curious, where did you get the micro version?

@@rynelively5377 Momo Modular sells it on their website and Etsy in the US. I've been building a Mutable system buying from Momo. They offer beautiful Magpie panels on some of their builds.

nice one! Enjoy.

Matt Keenan it should be :) adds a vast set of sounds and a whole other voice to a set up.

Milkpiece cheers mate, appreciate that! :)

SoloStuff cheers

Great thanks Tommy and enjoy your new Elements.

Ilya M it's perfect for it. As are the other Mutable Modules.

discotechwreck or strings, pads, leads, basses, string plucks it's pretty endless! :)

Karl Hiner yeah it is, totally nuts like all the Mutable stuff. Mix in Shelves and Ripples for EQ and filtering along with the analogue VCA clipping possible in Streams and you have a real sonic landscape, not to mention adding in Peaks, Braids and Clouds.

***** Clouds coming next :)

***** Yeah give it a good go, it's a totally different sound and synthesis method to most. It's worth spending some time with and digging through all the content you can find for ideas. Also try out the 'Ominous Voice' easter egg mode. Which is a dual two operator FM full synth.

mCKENIC thanks mate

***** certainly is.

Chartre Khan it's a complete voice alright, but having other VCOs for FM on Elements is great. I haven't used external filters much though can control all that on the module easily.

it came from the right hand side of Elements yes. Modal Synthesis (aka Elements) requires an exciter and a resonator. Left side of Elements in the Exciter (interesting/tonal/samples/clicks/noise sources provide a lot of the shaping in Modal Synthesis) and right side is the resonator. Rings is just a resonator. With a bonus little click/pulse produced internally to turn into a full voice without much patching.

For those of us who have Rings, which module would you recommend as the “Left side” (Exciter) with similar capabilities ?

very much the same concepts.

Vance Stevenson my bad

Milkpiece that's my feeling everytime I use it in a patch.

Audio Damage Kompressor works well as a hard limiter for something you can go bonkers with. But I haven't felt the need to compress or limit Elements. Just been aware of levels and potential levels has been fine so far.

DivKidVideo cool thanks and good to know it's not that unwieldy

I have't found it to be in practice.

Hello, those cables are from Mushi.one although they've been sold out (and the site now offline) for a while. They do change colour for positive and negative too.

darkfaerytales I won't be making any more videos for Elements soon I don't think. Got Clouds demo to finish, Streams "5 more things" and then other manufactures like the ALM Boss Bow Tie, Manhattan Analog MA35 and CP3, AniModule XXX_Or and a lot more. I do have ideas for other videos but they will be later on. I can say it does some very convincing sounds of bells and cello and all sorts of real acoustic sounds. But you have to tweak a little bit to get the most realistic ones. There's always a more synthetic sounding one just a slight knob twist away if that makes sense. So you can do it with tweaking.

***** turn the bottom 3 knobs and 5 attenuators to the left on the excitor side and the bottom 3 knobs and 5 attenuators on the resonator side all the way right and hold the play / gate button. That's if I remember right, are you on Muff Wiggler? There's a thread about 'Ominous Voice'

The LED cables moved along to mushi.one (web link) www.mushi.one/led-cables/ but they're no longer being made either. Surprised no one seems to be making these. I think Igor that originally made them (not the link and the Mushi ones, both him) was looking at his options to make more as it was too labour intensive to carry on.

Hey Jeff, not really. I don't really get the comparison unfortunately. Elements is a one voice module where the Modal is an 8 voice poly. Is it something tonally you're wanting to compare?

Oh ok!! i thaught it was a 4 voice;.thks!

Elements isn't 4 voices. It's a single voice. Newer firmware has a chord mode but it's preset stacked chords. Single gate and single pitch CV input so monophonic. Rings has polyphonic overlap where the release of one note can keep playing while another is played. This can be 4 voice overlapping. So imagine slowly strumming across four strings to form a chord. Still single inputs so effectively monophonic.

Ok,i understand.

StarmanDeluxe2001 thank you, head to the link below for the cables. They're really very good! :) www.utopb.com/category/led-patch-cables/

this is chinese spam??

the cables are from mushi.one going to make a video on these as I get asked about them all the time.

I have seen that they are sold out in all pages. Thanks

I think he's due a re-stock from what he said at Superbooth when I saw Igor behind the company.

nice one.

***** pretty much my first reaction to Elements! :)

***** abnd also the full Ominous Voice mode!

there's no polyphonic strum / overlap mode that Rings do. However newer version has stacked chord memory type sounds built in. Elements is a full modal synthesiser exciter and resonator. Rings is just the resonator. However Rings has the input pulse generator to strike the resonator so does still function as a voice. Although more basic.

Thank you

no worries, ask any questions, any time.

nice one

I didn't realise I had to use my right hand exclusively. Left hand - to keep my arm from covering most of the video leaning over the module, could also have been how I was reaching around tripods and stands filming the video.
