Intellijel's Quad VCA just arrived in the mail, and I came across this video the next day. Now I've got some more great uses for the VCAs. I always learn a lot from your videos. Cheers.

Nice! The intellijel is a classic, enjoy the module and patching it! :)

Hello there and friendly greetings! I was really waiting for another tutorial! Every time I discover a new way to enjoy modular synths even more! Thanks so much for your good work! :-D

Awesome as usual! Another eye opener on something you always have before you when playing with modular via e.g. keystep pro - but never use it… must try this on my next live performance at Berlin Modular Society on August 11! 🤗

May I suggest you interview other modular/synth/sample/composer KZreadrs to upscale your subscribers? Your channel is far too good to only have 10+k subscribers. Your channel is always spoken of highly on various modular chat rooms. It’s excellent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hello there, thanks! I have been working a lot on my format and improving things over the last year. Was super excited to get to 10k in a fairly short time focusing just on the modular, but indeed, it's time for more steps! Think some team ups should definitely be part of my plans! Glad to hear the chat rooms are positive, and all hte best! :)

Dynamics is the key to interesting drum sequences and cumbersome to implement if you are sequencing in CV rather than midi. This could be a v neat solution to a major drawback in eurorack.

How do MIDI-to-CV modules or gear like the BeatStep deal with velocity in general? Do they change the velocity CV signal level only when a NOTE ON comes in, and hold that level until the next note? Or do they "gate" velocity (having it go back to zero when NOTE OFF event comes)? (Noting that both type of signals could be converted to the other in any case, in one direction by AND-ing the velocity signal with the gate, and in the other with a sample and hold module)

Hi!! Thank you for this helpful video!!! But I have a question, i have a BSP and an LXR Drum Module from Erica Synths, i would like to reach the more natural sound as possible from it using velocity (because at the moment it's SO linear!), but the BSP has just the trigger out for drums, do you think there is a way to change velocity on the drum sequencer using eurorack modules like the LXR? Thank you in advance!! 🙏

Thanks, glad you liked it! The Drum section of the BSP doesn't have velocity outputs, but both melodic sequencers do. You can use both 1v/oct outputs, and both velocity outputs of the melodic parts to program 4 velocity sequences for drum modules. I did a video on the BSP a while ago, just in case you didn't see it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKt1o8SCpZfHe7g.html

Hope you will do a logics video as brilliant as others 🙂

@@MonotrailTechTalk knowing your sense of detail I believe so 🙂

would you be able to use the mod cv from the regular keystep to achieve the cv necessary as described in your diagrams for velocity?

@MonotrailTechTalk

2 жыл бұрын

Hello! You can use any CV you like to create velocity, but it depends on how you can program it on the keystep. I think the mod cv is connected to the mod wheel/strip right? So you would need a way to sequence it, or check the manual if the keystep has a velocity sensitivity you can send to the mod out. What I am sure is possible, is connect the Keystep to a DAW, and use the DAW to send stepped values to the mod wheel/strip, and create sequences that way.

Thanks for another interesting video. Though I like the idea of a "Velocity-VCA" for it's simplicity of usage I don't see that many advantages of using this over something like "Intelligel Quad VCA" or other VCAs, which can be used for several other tasks as well. Am I missing something here?

@MonotrailTechTalk

Жыл бұрын

Nope, it's just a variation with a different workflow and footprint. A quad VCA would be a bit bigger, and you'd need all 4 to make 2 VCA's with velocity. But indeed, all 4 would be separate usable. You could put two of these to create a setup for 4 velocity sensitive drum voices for example. But all just personal preferences depending on case and goals :)
