this is such an _ABSURDLY_ well made video. it should be the new standard for synth related videos.

This should be THE video for guitarists getting into eurorack! Loved that you tried to compare everything to pedals to make guitar players feel at home

Such a shame it took so long to land in my feed! I got bit by the Eurorack bug last Sept (it's been a super exxy quarter!) and, coming from a sort of "folk music" background, talking to people about buying all this 'acid techno' gear to record with gets tricky. F*ck it- I'll just send them a link to this vid instead! Good job.

Yeah and he said one thing that I had never considered since getting into this stuff. If I’m using the synth for a guitar or with another keyboard, I don’t need modules that produce sound. Just typing that out makes me feel dumb but it’s the truth. I think I’ve just been looking at it as “get the best of everything and all of it”.

One of the things I immediately loved about the modular synth world is that I recognize so many terms from guitar world

This is one of the clearest overviews and explanations of how modulars work that I've heard. Also was cool how you made compairisons to guitar pedals and spoke about the differences. Nice work man! Thx for the informative video on the art of eurorack...very helpful 👍

This was a great follow up to the Mojave series. I just put together an effects system with an Erica Synths Dual Drive, a Kamieniec, Qi-bit Prism, a 4ms DLD and a 2hp Verb. These are helped out by a Doepfer A-119 and 177-2 for input and control. So much fun.

Awesome, that sounds like a great system for effects!

I love the idea of having a massive modular rig hooked up to a large matrix switcher that’s converted into a pedal and made to work with a midi pedalboard for presets. You can use it for guitar and if you also do keys or synth work you can go straight to that.

I like the presenters style and ease. Great job!

Ryan you make it all sound so easy with you’re calming voice. Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶🛸☮️😉

This is a very interesting video. There is an item called the "patchulator" which is effectively a patch bay for guitar pedals. I can see that eurorack is definitely more versatile in terms of raw sound design, although it can also be more intimidating. I guess its about just getting into it and having a go. Maybe ill get into modular some day.

Very insightful and well explained. thank you

Such a great video so clear and easy to follow, thanks for sharing

If you are in the Los Angeles area come to our showroom in Burbank tomorrow 7/31/2019 from 7-9PM to see a workshop where we go over more modular synthesis basics and have live performances from Zachary Paul and Dillon Bastan! www.perfectcircuit.com/events

Appreciated this presentation so much! Is a big help!

Wow I learned so much from this. Thanks, man!

Thanks so much for this great presentation.

I feel relaxed and encouraged

Dude thanks a lot. Such a chill video

This was so useful. Thank you

I'm very interested and the power and space management are the main reasons. My suggestions is a switching bar with 1. a full stereo path 2. a scene switcher 3. a per pedal by-passable stereoizer that can at stereo character (subtle differential eq?). All these elements may already be on the shelf waiting to be selected an configured. If so, point me the way! This looks very good.

I have an idea to make a special pedalboard that is made to be modular in every sense of the word. It would basically be a pedalboard with a bunch of female 1/4” jacks or even spring loaded male jacks. It would let you control the signal flow and set presets for different configurations. Say you want one effect before or after another, or you want an effect to go to the effects loop and then change it to go straight in. Would be pretty convenient. Another thing that would be cool is a eurorack module meant to profile or mode pedals, and another module meant to do it for patches. It can have a touch screen that lets you both profile the patch so you can use a dsp version of it as a starting point later on for ease of workflow, as well as record how the patch is made.

This video was fantastic. Great Job!

Thank you!

What a wonderful presenter!

Yes this is what i need. Modular synth plus my insane guitar rig........ I just don't know enough about modular synth yet to know exactly what to get...... Which is landing me places like here

Really informative

thx!

For anyone wondering you can use SEWASTOPOL II for the instrument connection.

From the first time I saw a synth, I wanted to plug my guitar into it. Well, actually, the first time I saw a synth, was in some TV show(I think Six Million Dollar Man), as a super advanced computer.

this was an awesome video. i think all the questions i ever had about modular gear were answered with clarity. stoked you presented the offerings of eurorack and not a spicy kool-ade cult, because i woulda been on your side either way haha.

Didnt know Michael Grey Gubler was into Eurorack (I'm sorry, great explanation of Eurorack here)

Hi! What would I need to use a little Eurorack as a Fx chain from audio directly from Ableton and to record the Eurorack output in Ableton like a Guitar peddle ?

NICE

I'm trying to find a way to create a sort of mono vintage sampler ala Emulator, Prophet 3000 etc. Perhaps rather than use a modular sampler, it would be better to use a simple 90s sampler and use the Eurorack as an effects processor.

holy crap! Thank you, I have been looking for This video for real I learned more about this stuff now than Any amount of stupid sweetwater videos, (god have you heard the sounds that sweetwater guy makes.. its terrible) subscribed!

Great video! Shame there aren’t many decent looping modules out there…

is there a eurorack equivalent of the earthquaker devices corrupter

@SorchaSublime

there isnt an exact equivalent, but you can accomplish anything that can be done with the corrupter and way more with a variety of different modules.

It is absolutely worth mentioning one of the first musicians and youtubers using only modular on electric guitars. He made also an album and BTW is one of my favourite ambient albums.. His name is Wilfried Thierry (or IKKINI on YT). Here is the link to his album. I don't know him, I'm not affiliated to him in any way, is just that he deserves this. wilfriedthierry.bandcamp.com/album/un

Exactly the same range you would expect building a pedal board. Budget or boutique, used or new, d.i.y. or pre-built, large case or starter case. It’s a balance between your needs and your means. …it’s a deep rabbit hole!

hey in some point its right what you said with less wallwarts but what about the so called "cable-clutter" in the modular world? i guess its not right to recommend less power supply's around then handling with a colour coded cableclutter in you rack. what we see in the video is an unpatched system witch looks super clean but real modular audio and cv rooting can be a big "mess" where you dont know where you started or ended. in so point pedals are more "easy" to handle because there is NO cable clutter around. but hey, i have no single pedal/ i went modular for sure. so expect more cables then less wallwarts 😅

@SorchaSublime

3 жыл бұрын

the difference is that the cable mess in a eurorack system is entirely isolated to the synth, which can be moved around whereas a wallwart mess is far larger, involves larger individual pieces of clutter, is always on your floor and cant easily be moved as they have to be connected to the wall.
