Thanks, I quite liked it myself

@@StarskyCarr I like it too. Feels good.

police in helicopta

what a nice beat

Glad you like them!

Thanks - this was a really fun one to make.

Thanks 🙏

Thanks.. I think the drumbeat was made from individual samples and bounced.. but I can't remember tbh it was a while ago.

Nice one, cheers.

Thanks, glad you noticed 🙏. As with anything - you do something simple .. get an idea to make it a bit better.. have a go.. try something else and over time things organically improve. Unless of course you have a specific vision of how you want it to look/feel at the outset. I didn’t... just bumble along 😂 trying to get info across as clear as I can while having a bit of an extra creative outlet. They take A LOT longer but hopefully it’s worth it.

@@StarskyCarr thank you so much, keep up with that awesome work, I’ll enjoy and learn every time you have a new video.

I've just looked it up. Yep looks the same! It would be a good way to learn the unit, and maybe save 'patches' but I doubt it sounds anything like this... all the crackles, clock noise, locking filter/clocks etc that give it the crunchy madness would be really difficult to replicate. Pitty I'm Mac based so can't have a play :(

@@StarskyCarr yeah as Sherman says it himself there is not enough numbers in digital to make distortion sound good and he is right !!

Many thanks for the tip! it's really awesome sounding and flexible! also has randomization button which can lead to some interesting discoveries (sometimes pretty extreme!)

@@subradial np:) It’s a great little plug. And you’re right, you can get some crazy results with it. Well crafted functionality, great filters, nice little toy. Also the ability to assign FM to the adsr is a neat option. Lots under the hood.

I demo this (or at least mention it in the other video). To control the envelopes I use a simple sawtooth from another source. You can then have the input as low as you like and have fine control of both envelopes.

That’s a very good question! I’ll ask.

yes it does

They’re completely different in most respects. The 105 is great for those sequences, sounds lush and I can’t fault it, but it’s a different type of filterbank. On the 105 your basically playing a graphic EQ (but better!) This is more of a complex tool that can completely overhaul the input signal. I think lots of people have a misconception about this being uncontrollable or unpredictable, but I disagree. It was at first, but after deciding to go through the steps in the manual it’s all very obvious tbh! Yes it can crunch something dramatically within a couple of degrees of rotation, but once you understand what’s going on it’s quite predictable. Obviously the more complex something is the longer it’ll take to dial in exactly what you’re after. I think the main issue people have is not triggering the envelopes with a separate signal... using the main input results in the input level and distortion being interdependent - trying to balance that with the envelopes can be difficult with sounds with long attacks. that’s my big tip ;)

First time learning of this right now and was going to ask the same thing. No response, huh?

Its not badged as a v3 it's just the FB2. It's been manufactured since 2018 so any that are in stock will be the newer version. You can tell by the writing on the front under the '2' . The original FB2 didn't have it.

@@StarskyCarr thanks a lot

@@StarskyCarr all online store are selling that one m.thomann.de/es/sherman_filterbank_2.htm

@@StarskyCarr do you know where could I found the newer version with the Letters under number 2?

@@srmone11 It depends where you live... I'd just google google for the Sherman Filterbank 2

As an artist I don't like to pigeonhole myself into any specific boxes and find myself liberated in the expansive experimental divide between the two genres :)

@@StarskyCarr I'm the same when It comes to production and the music that I listen to. I like what I like :) but at the same time I still like to define things by putting them into boxes sometimes. Makes it easier for me to analyse and such. It becomes quite interesting and also a little annoying for me in certain contexts when I can't make something fit anywhere exact 😆 Boundaries doesn't really exist as such. It's and illusion we create for ourself to make things easier to measure. For instance if we look at time, we have hours, minutes, seconds, miliseconds etc. If we need a new way to measure smaller, then we invent it. In other words we can keep zooming in and going smaller in all infinity. So where do we find where the exact startpoint and endpoint is if we can keep zooming in to find it? We can't find them. Nothing is never really exact. It only seems that way to us. So where do you find the line that divides past and present and the line that divides present and future? We can't. It's all just one big transition. There's actually not really any past, present and future as such. It's all just one thing. What was present becomes past, and that was also once the future. It's really just in the way our brains process. Just because something is in the past or in the future, doesn't mean that it is not in existence. It's just existing in a different time according to our brains. Like whith many of the stars that we can see from Earth, which doesn't exist anymore in their own time and place. But to us they still do, because it takes the light (the signal/message) a very very VERY long time to get here. Everything else that we look at and sense has to get through our "filter" and get processed. And the travel for signal takes "time". Sorry I'm rambling on... 😂

Haha you certainly are .. but all good stuff!! But you’re correct, knowing the genres, DJs and labels that fit your tracks is pretty important if you want any sort of commercial success.

As someone just getting back into production I’m finding it difficult to stick to one genre and stay within the confines of a particular genre. Trying out techno at the moment kind of dark and evolving, it’s going well today but next weekend might be a different story, when I’ll feel like making jungle :)

@@jrlx86 Yeah and the good thing about trying different genres is that when you just make tracks without focusing on any specific genre is that you automatically use the different techniques together :)

I’m using a simple sawtooth as the trigger. So I have a separate track sending the envelope trigger which can be whatever duration you like per note - it gives amazing control via a DAW or if playing live send a separate signal from another synth. Something with no attack or release to act as a gate. It tracks the pitch of the input so I was using a simple sound again for the FM (as far as I remember - it was a couple of years ago).

I’ve never thought of locking the harmony knob to one of them.

Ok, now i understand! Thank you for the superfast answer! Cheers

Changes from sine to sawtooth and triggers via the envelope.

@@StarskyCarr thank you!

I thought I gave myself permanent hearing damage one time. Blew out my headphones.

@@VincentsVideoVisions what!?!? Dude, that's scary.

@@tcnotrvlr definitely recommend using a compressor/limiter until you understand a Sherman very well! It is no joke! It makes a MS-20 filter seem docile.

Yes and no... but mainly no :)

@@StarskyCarr thank you! Great channel! Thanks for sharing

It's Eventide... quite old now, but was a complete eye opener when I first got it. Amazing modulation in the FX.. instantly realised how many tracks were made - not using loads of complex interweaving sounds as I'd always thought - but by simply plugging one of these in!

@@StarskyCarr Shes a beaut!

It was enough to make my dog go nuts lol

Wow, just listened on my phone too. Wacky.

Maybe it’ll become a classic... one of the rare ‘bad batch’ that spawned the improvements? 😂

@@StarskyCarr naah, that 3 position switch is pretty standard, i had 4 or 5 filterbank 2's and they all had it. My dual rack also and it's SN 7024

You can do pseudo stereo things with the different filter outputs etc. but it's only got a mono input and signal path.

Hah the lighting on my shots not ideal... it grey in real life. I’ll have to see if I can adjust that :)

@@StarskyCarr na think it’s just my brain or eyes thanks
