Love how it started out with just explaining things and ended up being a big jamfest. This shows the power of music and modular.

Thank you so much for posting this. So much gold. I'm on the cusp of diving into this stuff and you have confirmed I'm heading in the right direction. Cheers.

Really informative video, I have benn into modular for just under a year now and am hooked on it. I really like the way you have your drums set up, being able to instantly switch between regular patterns and probability, really brilliant mate.

One of the best videos about modular. Thank you.

This is even more helpful than your intro to generative music! It's making my head buzz with ideas. Excellent job.

I love your videos. Great explanation. It's been a huge help in planning out my rack. I might be ripping off some of your switched multiple techniques in the near future...I also have a basimilus on the way after watching these series of videos. Anyways, a huge THANK YOU for being awesome!

This Was Awesome! You have a good way of explaining things very well....learned a lot from this.

listened to one of your lifesets on yt, and asked myself how you like to rig your drums, how you sequence leads etc. . glad I found this, this is not necessarily the patch you ran in that other video, still does satisfies my curiosity. cheers!

This turned into a funky ass jam! Thanks for sharing this info once again

i like very much your patch switches . I was just thinking about making switches like yours on my liveritmicrack. His video just helped me finish defining what was going around my mind. thanxz a lot !

This is great. Really illustrates thought process and how much can be wrung out of relatively sparse modulation.

Thanks very much. Very clarifyer about your workflow and about the need of a fast response of the system.

You've been building towards a banger of a rig like this for months now, and it shows. The jam at the end is a real mover and shaker. Real bomb-ass shit, DOOD.

Fantastic video! So many great ideas. After watching the rhythm part, I coded a "Coin Toss" sketch for the Ardcore! It works the same as one channel of Branches. Cool stuff!

Oh my.. I could kill to see you perform this configuration live on proper sound system, it’s really good

Brilliant setup. I've been trying to think about how I can get more variation out of life sets with my setup and this gives me lots of ideas. I have a very different module arrangement but I think I can get something similar in terms of options. I've also been thinking about building myself a bunch of passive switches and now I'm definitely gonna follow through with that.

How very “The Tuss” of you, in the last 3min haha - awesome as always man

The pulsing camera is super trippy!

So tempting to go straight to your 'disastrous performance', sounds fascinating :-) I adore modular music but use a looper myself with two Mother 32s so when I perform I know certain things are defined and reliable. Even so I am deeply interested in building an actual modular suitcase.

This is so useful thank you so much for sharing!

I love how much you like to experiment with live stuff and I love how much you share and theorize about your tactics.. I've been learning a lot from you, thanks bro

I love these videos. Thank you

many thanks for the videos, very handy and time saving

Good walkthrough!

Thanks for sharing that your setups and brainwork in it 🥇🎚🎛🎚

Love the digital zoom on the camera, very Vulf-y

this is really awesome. seriously.

You are hella funny Mylar dude, always saying "Yeah, Uh, Ace" almost like if Beavis and Butthead were smart hipster Eurorack guys. Nice dope video. You definitely have spiked my interest in learning modular. The companies need to hire you as their sales guy.

very interesting and clear, thanks!

22:50 i'd love to see more ideas around rhythmically chopping vocals for riffs!

Bit of an eye opener to say the least..cheers !

Very interesting setup...the switched multiples are cool...have you ever looked at 2HP's 3:1 Voltage Controlled Switch and Rout Switch? The Freez might also be a nice addition...

this was awesome thank you

Welp, there go my original plans... hahahah **confused sobbing** (top-notch video and info btw - thank you)

one of the most dificult and interesting things in modular universe.is undrstand the whole huge posibilites you have to built your spaceship. see your videos feel like hear the guy ho explain the gadgets to james bond XD so cool to share knowledge whits us milar ☸

Explanation is great but would love to hear more of you just playing some funky tunes.

Thanks !!!! Very good lesson !!!

beautiful chaos. that is all I can say. more of this type of thing

The voice chopping around 23:00 with the clouds is insanely great ! Seriously, have you signed somewhere to push your waves on wax ?? Would love to hear that on vinyl (would love to hear that live too, but I'm in France and not in Paris and I doubt you'd come around any time soon)

I've just started doing something similar to your percussion after seeing your vids. I use a combo of grids and a triggerman to make my breaks and such. I would at some point like to add a xox style sequencer in the mix. Like the circadian rhythm or the pittsburgh modular lifeform percussion sequencer.

Can you elaborate a bit (maybe in a video in the future) about the decoupling of sequencing and gating you mentioned in the last minute? Thanks!

What is that switching module you were using with the various rhythms and high hats - I didn't hear what module you were using to do that switching around. You reinforced why I thought Branches would work well in my skiff. I'll be installing it this weekend.

I really need 16:14 as a 6 minute wav please Absolutely gorgeous

Well, I am reasonably exhausted, in an invigorated sort of way. Hot damn man. I see the light. ¡Thanks!

Recognize peter blasser on this youtube video....fourses top fourses bottom....fourses top again...i build a few circuit of peter(ciat lonbarde)....this esoteric sound machine is awesome.....mylarmelodies....you are the best modular youtuber around the world!! Your "gestuel" and your voice is nice...renaud from france.

hey mate, thanks for sharing your set up can you please tell me where I can get a kit to build those Switched Multiples?

what are you using to sub mix all of the modules before the Direct in ? a studio mixer? I like the lifeforms mixer but wondering if an 8 channel mixer with send and return buss ( for clouds) might be a more robust way to go than a module format mixer....thx!

As I'm trying to follow along, all I can think of is the Charlie Kelly scene in Always Sunny where he's working in the mailroom trying to explain Pepe Silvia

nice set up

Cymru Beats...I see what you did there :D

Great video! Would you recommend the Tip Top drums over the Pico?

thank u for the audio caffiene

Amazing video and system! I'm slowly getting my plan for my rack together & have a question: would a BeatStep Pro's drum triggers and MI Grids going into a Synthrotek Either-Or (then to drum modules) work in a similar way as your drum setup?

Man, really can't emphasize enough how inspiring your videos are. Do you ever mess with the z8000 live? I seem to use my SQ-1 a lot live because its fairly easy to tweak and understand what I have changed. Between the trigger riot, the grids, and the z8000 I think it might be difficult? Maybe that is what you were getting to at the last bit of your video. I've recently turned my Frames into a euclidean sequencer and using that to advance other sequencers and for drum fills (using your blending of triggers technique) and it completely changed my game. "You can't have enough switched multiples" has gotta be the new "You can't have enough VCAs"....

Loads of ideas n insight here - gets ya thinking on a deeper level when it comes to making proper danceable music with a modular, live. Thoughts on mutant hats, bd and clap? I see you have the snare, but tip top everything else. Just wondered if there was any reason why you'd not gone for more Hexinv stuff - hp reasons, overall sound, simplicity of the tip top bits?

I understand very little of what's going on but these are still fascinating side note: where did you get that watch from? haha

interesting to see the relative devotion of hp to functions - sequencing, mixing/switching, filter, voice etc.

Love your videos and am finding the live ones fascinating. Why did you turn off the $10 patreon?

How are you liking that Jove Jupiter filter?(Seems like you kind of answered that here I guess!) I used to have the Tonestar 8106, really great. The new Vermona twin filter is really amazing for CV inputs...you get SIX, 1/2 of which have attenuators. I was kind of intrigued by their upcoming 808 module, but a friend of mine who has a real one said he didn't thought it sounded that much like one. I understand why people do it, but the masking tape thing is always something that seemed very tacky to me and strange when juxtoposed over thousands of dollars (or pounds) worth of fine instruments. It seems to me that you should understand your instrument well enough when you spend enough time with it that you mostly know where everything is; if you make a slightly error in switching up A vs B you can correct it and will be provided feedback, and live, no one will notice anyways. Another way to achieve analogous results of variation of rhythms e.g. probability gates I've been playing around with is to not even necessarily be having different patterns of when hat is open or closed at a given time persay, but if you change the timing slightly (or more) frequently, you'll also achieve different densities of different instruments per time, e.g. speeding up on the closed hats and slowing down on the open hats--been experimenting with this via complex cv clock modulation to my MFB Tanzbar Lite via Erica synths midi to clock/clock to midi, which I can also do independently of main melodic sequences (In my case from Stillson Hammer). This is sort of like what jazz drummers do. I think you sort of describe some of that here. Funny how if you think about something enough a lot of people end up in the same place/similar ideas.

Your using the Radial ProD2 to interface w/ a compressor? Thanks.

Thanks for a fun tour of your rig but how does everything connect to the outside world? There's no obvious 16 channel(+) mixer tucked away somewhere.

Btw this is super inspiring thanks

Instead of a switched multiple, you could just use an OR trigger combiner to combine Circadian Rhythm and the Trigger Riot triggers for say, hats. Then just mute a specific single Trigger Riot channel when needed, right?

22:22 .. "turned the man of techno - into techno" . .lol.

is theres a reason you chose to use mutant hotglue as your mainout? over something like a rosie, and do u come to any problems using it as your main out? using the hotglue as a mixer can you still use it as sidechain?, great in depth video, totally worth a sub

Sometime when you redo your case, please show a blank slate and explain each wire addition. This would be great.

Yes, inspiring, for sure :-) But, I'd like to ask, what camera are you using and where do you place it for your video productions? cheers andy

Nice tweeking!

Question: If i use 2 sequencers with built in quantization and add them trough the precision adder will the result be the same as having a quantizer after the precision adder? Or will the resulting pitch be to unpredictable for Live use?

Ayup me duck! I'd be really interested in your thoughts and consideration on the varigate and voltage block combo fitting into a system like this. Ta

Got a link to this system om modulargrid? Great explanation!

No VCA's = Mind blown haha.

How do you think, would it be cool if there was a module that transmits all input signals wirelessly to the reciever module? Not for audio, but for clocks, triggers etc. And you could make all kind of switches with wireless switch module with buttons, switches and stuff. I'm going to make a prototype - I do not have a modular myself, but seeing all that wires needed to control drums is pain.

Can someone tell me how that last module he showed is called? something like percimolous.. sounds awesome!

What are some modules with mute switches (not buttons) I'm having a hard time finding them lol any suggestions?

You should get my ShortBus Module. ;)

14:26 min this is f...awesome synth sound

Can you speak to the One versus Radio Music? I have been super vague on that. They seem *super* similar.

Cool.

Surprised you don't have a mute 4 from malekko. Seems like a no brainer for live rigs

27:51 wooow!

Dat Swatch.

Hey Mylar, how do you out everything? Do you have an external mixer?

Got a bit Jeff Mills in the middle there !

Diary #2 was the one so far.

Whats making that amazing bass tone at 27 mins on..?

and the most funny think is when the translator work when sound comes and writes thinks like *uouo

Gotta ask, Is the Z8000 solution difficult to use for thr melodies? I realise it is quantised to turn out alright, but I think I'd want a bit more precise control than knobs, like a stepper acid or even a metropolis. How do you find it is to play with?

i want to do this with Puredata, raspberry pis; buttons, leds and such.

i wonder how much the whole system like this weights? :)

27:15 is the testicle!

Brill!

what happened to poor Atlantis?

How come I cannot see any VCAs? :)

Have you seen the Pittsburgh Switch? It's not quite the same as a switched multiple but it's what I use to instantly reroute audio around my system: pittsburghmodular.com/switch/

I dream of wires. How do you not get confused or lost by the maze of cables?

What's the delay/reverb you're using? thanks

this is amazing. And I shouldn't be watching this at all.

I wish we coulb be friends...

huh
