this seems to be the most interesting thing in synthesis this year to me. wow! gto and dgts in one box, combined with a sequencer. that should make you happy for many many years to come… Think I’ve found my dream system.

I can't stop listening to this ... I hope I can get it

so many emotions and brain tickles from these sounds, wow! "Lifeforms" was pretty hideous, but "Offshore" just take me off from reality shore.

Give me this panel + Inori + Siegfried, I'd be pretty happy! But after that I wouldn't have enough money to do anything but making music.

What would be the ideal companion to pair with Mantra II? understanding they can all be..but to get an idea, excluding the sequencing aspect Thanks

Looks absolutely fantastic…can we hope for a 4x4 release of the Dual GTS soon?

are we really hearing just sounds from these modules or is there some post delay/reverb added?

I'm once again asking for patch notes, I know that would help us ramp up on our knowledge of the modules

@cnk1466 3 ай бұрын

tbh you can easily reverse-engineer some of them by pressing pause and patching yourself. well... because gto is pretty dense, some of the patches may require trial and error but it's the way to learn it anyway, I guess.

@@cnk1466 having worked with Serge modules quite a bit in the last few months, I can just confirm complex patches being so highly reactive to certain potentiometer settings, that a mere patch sheet with some coarse notes rarely can produce a repeatable outcome. I tried it, believe me.

@serge-modular 3 ай бұрын

That's a valid point! However, it's not so easy, often that leads to very clustered text descriptions that may still be hard to replicate as slight changes to the knobs can make quite a difference. To make the patches more transparent is also the reason we got an overhead camera, so we kind of use the videos as our own sketchbook.

@cnk1466 3 ай бұрын

@@tihinter Oh of course, I totally agree with you. I mean they can reverse engineer the patch by looking at the video to understand what the modules do. For me there is no way to make a clean patch note of a complex patch anyway. I usually try to write down starting points of different patches. The rest would be improvisation.

@@serge-modular that’s totally fair but something is better than nothing, at least a few words, I have a few eurorack Serge and I haven’t been able to achieve the complexity of your patches, I keep thinking about how much I could learn with just a few words or at the very least organizing the cables a bit more so we can see more? Videos like this are the reason why I bought your modules I’d just love to learn to explore them as you do and learn more
