So nice to see an early Mylar Melodies Demo. It makes clear how much you have progressed in terms of presentation since then. Could maybe make it again? This time with your current clarity of image and sound, the index and the timeline? The rainmaker deserves it, it is still one of the deepest and most interesting modules around..

Another musical classic from MylarMelodies. It is so helpful to hear an in depth exploration of a module that examines musical potential and possibilities. Thank you. John

This module (and thus partly this video) made me get into eurorack around these times last year. What was meant to be just an external send effect for my DAW,evolved into an entire eurorack-setup which is now just a tad short of 800HP. Phew - that escalated quickly!

Dope video, the rainmaker deserves so many more of these. A note on the Karplus Strong and Ping Arp presets-you don't need an input, you can just ping the trigger (gate/trig or red button) to get it to pluck, and then jack your pitch into 1v/oct, tweak from there, and push the comb through the delay to to pitch shift, make chords, or make it rain harder.

Rainmaker is looking like a must-have because, believe it or not, some of us modular people aren't terribly creative and really need help from presets and randomize functions in order to figure out what we want to hear. I definitely like having the machines show me what's good, at least as a starting point. Great video!

But as ever you demystify and your enthusiasm opens things up. Im still battling with getting to the bottom of my shapeshifter to go for one of these yet and a new cabinet too lol. Thanks again.

To be fair, it is the complete opposite to how Eno works. The only thing in common is "weird sonorities". Eno considers every single note he puts down on tape. I enjoy both approaches, but instant Eno is a poor assessment. It'd be like saying all silence sounds like John Cage. (Although Cage would probably be OK with that).

Was wondering if you were going to do this module as I think I saw it in your rack when you did the logic module video. Very intimidating front panel. I admit, I looked at it and dismissed it thinking, "nah, looks like you need to go menu diving for hours to get a sound you like." I think it is much easier to wrap your head around than I initially thought. It may creep into my rack at some point thanks to you.

29:27 fckn amazing!

You referred to Brian Eno, but I'm hearing tons of Kraftwerk in this thing! They used to use a string machine/choir sound, and it sounds like this is taking that sound, chopping it up and doing cool shit to it. Makes me wonder what my Streichfett would sound like through it. As you say, ACE.

holy shit this is sick. I've never used modular synthesis before but my first buy soon is going to be the moog dfam...and definitely this too now! not sure how you actually load a sound from the dfam into this tho?? i suppose id have to just work it out!? ha

This is a module I could build a rig around.

I have Ableton Live and I was thinking of using it for effects processing while I'm getting started with modular. Do you have any suggestions how I would have to wire things from the modular setup to an audio interface so that I don't necessarily effect every sound ? Maybe create some sort of send system with a mixer?

"Thats a lot of words, i said a lot of words" - but then, holy crap, did you make good noize, lots of good noize

Everyone doing ambient seems to have one of these. If I knew I wanted a delay unit AND a reverb, would this do a good job as a reverb unit? Seems like it's possible but perhaps fiddly

these videos are way more dangerous now that ive gotten into eurorack

How are you getting along with rainmaker in 2022? Still discovering new things with it and loving it?

This machine would be devastating in the hands of VCOADSR, incredible sounds at 16:00 :-0

nice one. are you in germany in the near future? lg

It feels so overlooked to me that this is also a modal synth, one with much finer control and sound quality than what you'd find in Elements and Rings. That alone is enough to sell me on it.

@sumocloud

5 жыл бұрын

Can this really do everything rings can do? I know they both use comb filters, but I assumed rings would have some extra parameters. I don't how you shape the sounds with rainmaker beyond feedback and filters (?) and it doesn't do any physical modelling stuff like elements as far as I can tell. Another way of looking at it would be, instead of spending huge on this, get a cheap delay and rings. That would probably get you close to some of these sounds and give you v/o over the echoes. This does look cool though. The granular stuff takes it to another level of spacing out.

@sumocloud

5 жыл бұрын

(Also the concept of "sound quality" as some kind of absolute is problematic.. It sounds good but then so does elements to me.. Higher resolution doesn't equate to better sounds. Ppl pay good money for bit crushers and vintage samplers because they sound good, not because they have "fine sound quality")

great tutorial mate...! how would you handle this module as a Stanalone? i want to plug it into my patchbay to feed in some lowlevel outboardgear... like my synths or a e-guitar... how could i use the rainmaker to work for me? or is it that simple that i use the output of it like it is outboard gear? thank you

@LoudPaul1

2 жыл бұрын

If you're still thinking of doing this, you will want to bring your line-level audio through a eurorack amplifier/preamp to get it up to 5v. and probably attenuate the level of rainmakers output back down on the way out. but yes, otherwise it is that simple.

i've been thinking a lot about these kind of "infinite-modules" which are kind of limitless in their capability of creating sounds. (well, most of us have to, because after watching this video and wanting a rainmaker really badly you have to face the reality of a limited budget........) but on the same time i start thinking about why i started to build a modular synth, which for me started with the idea of heaving a completely unique costom instrument fitting perfectly my personal vision of music and evolving its very own character. So for me, uniqueness and character are somehow defined by the limitations your system faces relatively to the others or to the vastness of the modular world. so the question i'm stuck at right now is: can rainmaker, being this monster capable of swallowing any sound and turning it into a soundscape of infinite shapes and variations, be a threat to the specific character of your system?

Got one a couple of weeks ago. A lifetime is not enough to explore all the things it can do and I was always looking for a hardware version of Logic's Delay Designer in Logic Pro, especially since I moved to Ableton about two years ago. Its huge, its insanely expensive and I sold my Scooper and DLD to fund this, but I have made a "pseudo" DLD preset on the Rainmaker so its there to recall. My main gripe with it is that even though I can set up the gain inside the module so that the dry and wet sounds, are equally loud, the mix knob drops both dry and wet outputs substancially at around noon where the dry and wet sounds are equally loud, so when its under CV control, I have to compress the f@ck out of it inside the DAW to tame the parts where the sound is mostly dry or mostly wet. Another smal issue, that I am still trying to figure out, is that with no rate modulation, no Slip, when you freeze a loop in, it slowly goes out of sync after a while. I mean ok the Rainmaker is not a looper, but it would be nice if it held the sync like it does when it just works as a delay. No deal brakers and unfortunately the mix knob is analog so an update cannot change the mix curve, so it is what it is.

There is a used Rainmaker in my local community at a decent price, I'm hoping to nab it in a few weeks.

The used Rainmaker sold before I could get it, so I'm still trying for a new one, but out of stock each time. Trying again next week though. In the meantime, I got Morphagene and Mimeophon (finally!) plus Spectraphon. If Rainmaker is available, the the first idea in my head would be Metropolix A pitch sequence into XPO1, into Rings or Elements audio input, then into Rainmaker. Then, Metropolix B pitch sequence into XPO2, into a mix of Morphagene/Spectraphon/Mimeophon, order may change according to the weather, with a mix of both those A/B channels through X-Pan. Then a mix of dry and wet outputs into Zoom L12 to Ableton, so I can have the dry stems in Live for daw fx, plus the live modular mixes, all as separate multitracks. So, if the pitches went bad, I'd still have the dry signals anyway, good for later editing. And if it worked, the live modular signals would give results that the daw never could. Lots of possibilities. Just wondered if you'd done it or what you thought. Guess I'll just have to jump in the deep end and give it a go, since I know I want it anyway. Cheers, as always.
