Intellijel Metropolix Eurorack Sequencer Demo
Рет қаралды 58,378
Күн бұрынHello. Here's a demo of the shiny Intellijel Metropolix Eurorack dual sequencer module and Gx Expander. It's like two Metropolises plus internal modulation, accumulators and other performance tricks (plus drum sequencer) to keep those stages fresh. LINKS BELOW!

Dude this is so next level. Using the pitch pre quantise to scale the melody up and down is such a good idea. I was trying to take the metropolix output to a VCA to scale the range of the melody, but it was losing all the slides and other details. This was a ridiculously good demo!.

I've been coming back to this video over and over the past few days just for the jam between 8:26 and 9:20. Would love to have just a 10+ minute jam of that idea. Same for the pattern between 3:11 and 4:26. But really all the patterns in this video are great, same for your Atlantis video that I've been listening to as well for the great jams. Safe to say you've sold me on these Intellijel modules for when I get a modular case.

Could not stand to listen to the loopop vid on this module, despite all the valuable info it contains. You just can't help but make a bopping (and still informative) demo for this incredible module. 'Face-melting' is a good way to describe it, too. The original Metropolis was amazing, this one looks to be absolutely transformational and unique in the world of music gear. It took me a little time to process the farewell of my old Metropolis--it's just so damn 'immediate' to make a jam--but once you get your head around the X, it's all of the original and so much more; Intellijel did a brilliant job with the succession (and so did you!). Cheers, Alex

Intense! Curious to see breakdown of how this changes your live rig assuming you are using it there. Had no idea about the GX! I’ve been doing a similar thing using Joranalogue Compare 2 to get pitch related gates. Have been using one for a couple months now, it’s incredibly complex while remaining so hands-on which is quite an achievement, more hands-on than the wonderful Vector even but with similar levels of automation madness. The accumulator and sequenceable custom scales absolutely rock.
