I Like the Jam starting around 4:50. Eurorack and Samples are well combined!

thanks man, i needed this today!

Thanks for this Mutant Brian video. It was very helpful.

Thank god for you. All the questions you mention right at the start are the exact same ones that are motoring around my skull right now. Cheers!

Thanks Bo!! great video

Awesome video @BoBeats

Great demo of the Mutant Brain. Wonderful module. Great company.

I’m really considering it for my octatrack

Very nice there, now the modular got MIDI. You got some great options with the gear you got.

Hi Bo and thanks for this...just getting started on this madness! I am going to use the Deluge with midi out into Poly2 for the same ends....I hope :-)

Sounds great!

Great video!

Hey Bo! I'm currently trying to utilize the Digitakt in the same way since I just got a new Moog tower with the 60hp at the top. I control everything form the Takt, so I didn't want to buy a seq module. I was curious if you used the CV.OCD at all? The only thing pushing me toward that as opposed to the Mutant Brain is that it's standalone and won't take any hp from my rack. I was about to pull the trigger ont he Mutant Brain after I saw this video, but I just found the CV.OCD and I'm torn!

Amazing music. Thank you!

Hi Bo, I control my Mutantbrain from the Digitone and have slight latencies with the clock. Do I have to change the trigger time in the global settings of the Mutantbrain? Have you had similar clock problems? BR, Dauna

Great Vid! Would also suggest making a video where u talk about the rack (compressor? Etc) underneath your Eurorack. Think a lot of people would be interested

Hi and thank you Bobeats. Do you know if one of the 12 gate outputs can send the clock that he receives from the midi?

Nice vid’!!i have a weird stuff with the duo digitakt/mutant brain...:it’s not the same octave range on the digitakt than on the mutant brain ?Do you have the same deal?

Love this! I was wondering if there was a solution for the opposite direction - eurorack controlling tracks on the digitakt. E.g sending interesting patterns from eurorack to the hats track in the Digitakt. Thanks!

Many thanks for the intro!

Thanks a lot for your videos, Bo - astonishingly you are pointing exactly the questions i had right in time. Just connected via social medias with you to get the latest news by you :)

The conversion rate on the Canadian Peso can be some fairly tricky math . . . . . smooth groove amigo

That "bo" sample is a thing of nightmares. And to be productive... check out the tubbutec utune. It is a pretty feature packed mid-cv / quantizer and microtonal swiss army knife.

@@BoBeats hahaha thanks man. I dont have the pro vid gear so just focus on brief processes and then writing notes about it about anything i struggle with. Figuring others may as well. Best way to set it up would be on Channel 10 with individual notes for all trigs, but i wanted to keep it using the default profile it ships with to make it easy.

Sounds fantastic. Would love to know what all the other modules are as I'd like to replicate using my Digitone as a first venture into scarry modular world?

I'm awaiting the new Circuit tracks and the Mutant Brain seems the perfect solution for getting it to speak to my Eurorack. MIDI is something rather new to me, so I'm not exactly sure how to connect the Mutant Brain to my computer so that I can configure the channels. Can I use the Circuit as the hub for this connection? Or should I use my Focusrite? Or a cable/adapter to just plug the M Brain into my Mac? By the way, I really enjoy your channel and your review of the new Circuit convinced me that I need one of my own! I am going to subscribe right now!

Wonderful module! Will buy it for sure.

Thanks BoBeats, can you somehow translate MIDI velocity into voltage level? Will that trigger eurorack drum modules at different levels like some old Simmons drum brains or do you also need to trigger VCAs after each drum modual? Thanks!

I'm using it with the dfam that has a specific velocity input in the patch bay. If it has an input like that you can send it there and it should work fine.

Hey bo! Got the Digitone the same sequencing capabillities as the Digitakt? Nice Video by the way!

@BoBeats

6 жыл бұрын

It has 4 vs 8 midi tracks but very similar yes.

4 CV and 12 Gate outputs? Compare again to the outputs of the BSP. I suspect the fact that the gates outnumber the CVs by so much means they are intended for sequencing drum tracks (which generally do not change pitch). I guess they don't change velocity either, but you could have, say, two of the gates controlling a snare but with different pre-assigned velocities.

I have an octatrack and it is amazing. You don't need VCA, EG, VCF or FX in your rack, cause the octatrack has all that already. And with the Mutant Brain I'm sending 4 LFOs to the modular, so I don't need these modules either. Result: I have lots of space to put cool sound sources :-)

@alextkalenko

Hola Manu! Question about LFOs to Eurorack. Is it smooth? or you can listen the "steps" when slow modulation?. I don't know if you know what I mean... It has to do with the midi resolution...

Great video, i am new to this world and currently using maschine mk3 more recently with moog mother 32. I am interested in basic eurorack setup, could this be used with reaktor blocks and hardware?

@BoBeats

6 жыл бұрын

Sure! you could send midi from the maschine mk3 to the eurorack using this. Not sure about Reaktor integration, I don’t really know how well it integrates with CV gear

nice tips

So from here on, we appear to be saying adieu to the Minibrute 2. I didn't notice a lot of use out of it or its keyboard. Maybe this is a good reason to get the 2S instead, since something else can program the 2S & the keys never get used. Also, I noticed all of the Eurorack wires are covering the full-size keys, which further makes it inconvenient. I'll need to check out that Digitakt. That thing & these Mutant Drums are giving you some really interesting sounds & I'm trying to figure out why it sounds different from VST or built-from-sample drum sets. In theory, I should be able to get the same type of sound & setup with Reaktor...but currently not sure how.

@BoBeats

6 жыл бұрын

I think the 2S is better for a eurorack system for sure. The 2S sequencer has more features which are useful for a eurorack.

Great video and jams/tracks! But man, gotta do something about the noise! ;-)

Your selection of modules is Very uncluttered! And the modules are very good choices for their straight forward architecture. I like it . Except for the Arturia which I recently checked out but didn’t care for the imbedded functions on the keyboard (yuk)and shift keys. The euro rack sounds good though.. Peace Christo ✌🏻✌🏻🐕🐕🛸🛸👍🏻👍🏻🎶🎶🕺🕺👽👽🙏🙏🔦🔦👏🏻👏🏻

Great module this one Bo, one thing: as I see it has 4cv outputs , so I can only send 4 midi different sequences (pitch) from my external midi sequencer ? Hence the gate outputs are mainly for triggers and gates that send length information not pitch?

@BoBeats

6 жыл бұрын

Yes. So you could do say 2 voices using 2 cv for pitch and 2 cv for velocity, then 2 gates for triggering. Or 4 voices no velocity using 4 cv and 4 gates.

Side note: These tracks sound great. I really dig the second one in this video. So I’m currently learning how to produce with my Digitakt, and a buddy of mine just got around $10,000 in Eurorack gear. Long story, but let’s just say I have a feeling this will lead into my journey with it all. He plans to build a couple smaller setups and He told me he plans to let me use them as we swap and trade units. I feel the Mutant Brain and Digitakt is a great option for controlling them. I do have a Beatstep Pro but I also love working with the Digitakt’s sequencer. So this video is super helpful. Thank you 🙏 I can see my self going this route while also using the Digi’s internal sample based functions.

Bo, one thing I do not understand. Why purchase all these different sequencers and connection modules trying to patch all this stuff together? Why not just buy one great computer with a great DAW like Cubase? The computer with it's built in DAW sequencer takes care of all of this nonsense and also records the session at the same time for easy callback and editing. My Cubase sequencer is the most versatile and complex sequencer I have ever owned and will do any job easily without all these crazy connections.

@BoBeats

Using a DAW is ofc the most straight forward way to do things. There is no real denying the strengths and cost efficiency of a DAW. However, people do not go for hardware synthesizer rigs or eurorack because its effective. It has to do with the fun of having physical objects to work with, the explorative nature of eurorack, the actual patching of physical objects. Many different aspects which might not have a utility in itself, but rather have to do with the feel of it. I mean why do guitarists buy particular guitars? Oftentimes it comes down to a combination of sound and feel, not some objective list of functions.

AHH, It's that mojo nature feeling thing. I wish I had time for that, but I never do so I tend to purchase full featured hardware synths these days. Maybe that is why my modular sits dormant most of the time. Each hardware synth I purchase has its own Mojo but in a full featured midi/usb, patch memory kind of way. Thanks Bo for the reply I really did not see the reason why you went in that direction, but now I understand.
