Hello, Thank you for the help that your tutorials give, regarding connecting a keyboard via midi to the Crave, it is not working for me. I have a MINILAB 3, I connect the midi output and connect it to the midi input of the CRAVE and no sound comes out, I have already adjusted the midi channels in each of them to channel 7 and nothing. Do I have to make any other adjustments in the Crave in the SYNTHTRIBE software? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND KEEP PASSING ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE. Bye Rui

Great work

and how can the LFO be synced to the clock?

Loving your tutorials! Quick question - once you have an arp pattern playing, is it possible to change the pitch of it? In another demo (not this one) I have seen it, but it wasn't explained. If I hit another key on the keyboard the arp just stops. Can't seem to find this anywhere.

Your videos are the most educational about this synth (and synths in general) I've seen so far. Thank you for these!

None of this is working for me, no change whatsoever

Your tutorials convinced me to buy Crave. Thank You!

Hi Eric, hope all is well. I’ve commented several times now on how good these Crave tutorials are and your high skill level as a clear and concise teacher. I’m not sure why you stopped making tutorials. Maybe life is too busy. I have to say that since the Crave is now part of a trilogy of synths, I’m pleading with you to do another superb tutorial on the Behringer Edge, and when it is more widely available, the Behringer Spice. I know it is a great deal of work, but it would be of such benefit to us users of the trilogy. You really are an extremely good teacher and I want to be able to "Pless Pray” (I'm so glad you left that in, after all we are all only human!) on the Edge and Spice!! The three units are definitely made to be played together and knowing how to use them to their fullest would be terrific!!

Good evening Eric, I'm following your entire tutorial and it seems to me that you are very prepared for the question I have to ask you for my Crave. I had the opportunity to download some patch sheets for the Crage from the "patchstorage" site where the various connections made by the author are practically copied and that very beautiful photonic sound should come out (like trance, psitrance) but which doesn't come out for me even though I set it exactly like the pattern I see. Furthermore, I see that a JAC cable is often connected between "ext audio" and "osc pulse" but looking at the manual "ext audio" is not used to connect to an external peripheral?" At this point I wonder how these sounds come out because the patches do not use with other related instruments is mentioned but they write that the sound is from crave. Can you tell me something about it?

Is it possible to change scale (time division ) of notes when using external clock . As I can't seem to find or figure out how to do it. Example I'm using edge and clock is coming from beatstep pro at 172 BPM and edge at same but 1/8 notes my crave is always playing to fast because I can't find out how to change it.

Hey Eric, great tutorial. How do we enable the tempo to take a cv input? Couldn't find any option on the app. Thanks

Are you running that through some kind of compression? When I turn the resonance up above like 50% there is a huge drop in overall volume and I'm wondering if I got a defective unit, or if every video I'm watching includes compression?

thanks. i really wanna add synth to the music on my channel. but got a long road i feel... my desire is desperate

Watched through your playlist up to here, as I hopefully receive my Crave tomorrow (and Edge in the upcoming weeks). Wow 🤩 what an awesome tutorial series, it’s almost said to see that it’s the only one on your channel 😉 Hopefully you’ll still read this, as I wanted to say thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your knowledge on this one 😊 well done and very helpful 👍🏻

Real Master.

Eric thank you so much for making these tutorials. It helps a lot for someone like me that has a brain injury from an accident and is trying to learn this stuff when learning has become difficult.. thank you.. Hey maybe you can help me with the Behringer wasp?

This is great! When things like this are illustrated it's the absolute best.

Yay, I now know how to make an ambulance sound! 😁

So glad I found this playlist! Even though I learnt the basics of modular synthesis, it was still tricky to operate Crave. Thankyou

Just a note to say "thank you" for taking the time to make such thorough yet easy to follow instructional videos - really top-notch.

brilliant thank you

Youre Great ! Thank you!

Hey, lovely videos. Really thorough. I was wondering if the 4th version of the arp is really random. When I arpeggiate notes of the C major and let the eight of them in a loop with the arpeggiator in this mode it plays a very predictable, tough more articulate, pattern. So I guess you could use it as a random arp if you play say 13 harmonically unrelated pitches, but it still plays a simple pattern. Haven't updated the firmware still, so this might have changed in the meantime. Just saying, try it out with 8 notes from the same scale, and you'll easily notice the pattern it plays.

Eric I just purchased a crave and these videos are like no other thank you! I would like to get the wildest sounds possible if you have a video for that 😊

yes!! this is why I got a Crave

Exxxxtraordinary....what a teacher

Thank you for your wonderful and useful tutorials. You should do the same with Behringer Edge. Greetings from Italy.

So all these tutorials would apply to the Behringer Edge as well? Cheers.

Hello there , did u know it also can play backwards, for this u have to press : „shift and play /stop and than on of the direction buttons(keyboard or step)“ al together and it change direction! For change it again it’s the same just with the other direction button, thanks a lot Eric , have fun….. 👍🎶👽

Hello Eric , u helped me a lot but there are som other questions… is there any guide about the menu in wich u enter while press shift hold and 8??? U can do more things than sync it I think! And when I play a sequence and want to change the pattern it chances immediately at the moment I press the button. It doesn’t play the sequence to the end , where I can change this, I hope there is a posibiliti !

Hey there , my crave arrived yesterday but I can’t actually sync it with the other synthis i got! I go from midi out from drumbrute impact to midi in from the crave! Every Synthesizer starts to play, butnot in the right tempo!!!!! Can you help me please?✌👽🎶

Thank you so much for this video. It explained so much and your drawings helped to visual the settings, especially the fact that decay is applied in place of the release after the sustain. 🙏🏾

Dude you're an amazing educator, I have been diving deep along your videos and feel confident in what I'm learning.

I having issues syncing the Crave's tempo with Ableton. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Demystified! Thank you.

Thank you sir

I thought I understood ADSR until I saw your explanation with your hand drawn chart. I did not realise that the sustain worked in combination with the volume knob. You explained all that so fantastically well. Best I have ever seen. Thank you Eric.

Thank you Eric for such great tutorials. I am quite hard of hearing so I have to put the subtitles on. I am very old fashioned so then I get your tutorial in written form with my old typewriter so I have it all on paper and can refer to it at any time without relying on phones or a pc. I have made a Crave Knob and switch stencil from plastic card so I can draw and record knob settings. I am looking forward to all your crave tutorials. you are a great teacher.

Thank you Eric. Excellent video.

I really like this series! Very well done. Thanks a lot!

I just ordered my new Crave and waiting for it to arrive. I've binge watched all this series up to #14. Such a thorough and comprehensive guide to the Crave. I hope you also have the Edge and have covered that one as well. That will likely be my next purchase to pair with the Crave. Thanks so much. You've easily earned a new subscriber here.

Thanks for the great videos! May be you know if there is a way to transpose an arpeggio up or down an interval by pressing on the keyboard like it is done in the sequencer? Thanks in advance!

So you can't record in a daw without recording the clicking

Excellent tutorial

Thank you Eric, as an absolute beginner I'd have been lost without these simple tutorials, excited to see what I can do with this 😊

Solid data man

Thanks, Eric. Coming to the Crave (and Model D) after a couple of decades using soft synths and presets, so this video has helped me a lot. Thank you.

guys i just have a question why the green light always blinking and how to stop it

What confuses me is the Ext Audio input. It seems like it should really be able to input line level audio to process with the Crave, but from one of your other videos it seems like it needs a 0-5v signal so is mostly able to use the LFO output etc. What happens if you do input a line level audio signal? Is it just really quiet? I hope to get a Crave in the next month or so and am trying to figure out all that is possible with it.

I wish things were the same on all gear. I am planning on getting a Crave soon and later a Roland SH-4d, it will be good to know of this behavior before I might encounter it.
