🌍 Hello World! My name is Ihor.
This is my channel where I share my experiences, ideas, reviews and tutorials related to Electronic Music Production. I focus mostly on Techno and House music. In my Studio on my Music Production Desk you will find a variety of different gear like: digital and analog synth, eurorack modular, drum machine, sampler, effect, mixer, guitar pedal, MIDI controller. Also software: DAW, Ableton, VST, plugins.
I am myself an engineer and I am quite obsessed with the Music Technology and Sound Design. I like making music without a computer. I like playing Electronic Music Live with my Minimal Dawless Setup. I love Eurorack Modular Techno and always keen to talk about the modular workflow.
I strongly believe that nothing can be better than a good Dawless Techno Jam!
I watched all the Techno Tutorials on KZread! (I think)
📺 Thanks for watching! And have fun!
✌️ Peace.
#Modular #Techno #Dawless

You are one of the very few guys i found on the internet that make modular system sound good. 99% i see are only making random clicks and bips, sounding like chaotic noize more than actual music. I'm glad i eventually found someone like you who can make music with modular.

So timely! I just ordered my first semimodulars (Minibrute 2 and Moog Mavis) with the Rackbrute 6U. I've been spending my last couple days researching other modules and then this pops up. I guess I'll just stay poor then. 😂😂

Sorry ☺️
I think it's interesting how you purposely divided your setup into sections, I did something similar but on a larger scale. Every section has its own smaller case so I can only bring with me what I need for any given show. There's a main section in 84hp that contains everything I need for a full voice (2 oscillators, VCAs, lots of modulation, a filter, a sequencer, and a clock divider). Then I've got several smaller purpose built cases that do their own unique thing. I've got a drum case with a sampler, a 909 kick, and hi-hats. Then I've got a drone case with a heavy reverb and a Mutable Warps. Then there's a "glitch case" with a few modules that screw up and scramble the sound like Morphagene and 2hp freez. And then finally there's a case for ambient generative music that contains the ZOIA and the 4ms SWN. It's not the most efficient setup but it works for my needs perfectly.

Nice, my main case is a Rackbrute 6u, and it's more about three voices for ambient (Generate3, CloudTerrarium, and Rings; with Twin Waves for FM). I'm putting together a similar system to yours as a modern acid house expander. Basimilus for drum synth, SSF Entity UK for BD, Fracture for Clap. Piques for 808+snare, ADDAC T-network for toms. Similar to yours, Versio for effects, and Legio for Virt, but to use as Tymps too. Erica for Bassline synth too, but a DB-01. Also Manis, for tearing leads. Then Generate3 can do monosynth bass/analog FM, Twin Waves supersaw into Ripples or digi-FM; and Terrarium on evolving timbres/FX. I haven't decided on a module for hats yet ... leaning toward Patching Panda Hatz, Tip Top or maybe even Befaco Noise Plethora ... 606 or 808 are my favourite flavours of hat.

@@IhorMedia If I use a sampler, my hats will sound sample. Not fat, warm and round, like hats should sound ;) But yes, for now, MPC One on drum duty (Acidlab Drumatix sampleset). And ABL3 VST for the wiggly worm basslines. I'm getting the Basimilus this week, and will use it to fill the MPC One with samples, but and then just drive one live sound from the module, using the MPC CV/Gate outputs.

Nice video and kickass jam ! Why not using Maestro built in attenuation ? You can attenuate each channel by pressing HIGH + MUTE and selecting the channel and the attenuation level with 1/2, 1/4, etc.

Thanks! Yeah, there is an internal attenuation menu in Maestro. However I wanted to have a bit more precise control at that time.
Hello Ihor my friend, very interesting choice of Module in this case, not what I thought you might pick, no MD must be first time u not used and no Steppy, quite shocked but not disappointed, think Dfam bit large for its part in patch but u probably use more in other patches Excellenti as always👍🆒🎶🖐🌈🕸🔱⚡️👁👽🌟🌟🌟
Ihor, I think perhaps KZread censored my comment for containing a link. But you might look into the Expert Sleepers Disting function called "counter". There's a video by Os in which he demonstrates how it can solve a sync issue with the DFAM.

Watching it again... The Legio's are both end of chain in series and after that the Versio? There is no 'external in' of the Legio involved where it processes the kick and ducks the stereo in? It 'listens' for the kick in the sound itself?
@IhorMedia
Жыл бұрын
You are correct. There are 2 Legios and 2 Versios here. It is pretty much like this: Versio -> Legio -> Legio -> Versio. When it comes to a kick drum and ducking - it is all Tymp Legio. It is a drum module with an ability to duck the incoming stereo audio and mix the kick drum on top of that. Another Legio in the chain is Librae that saturates and compresses the audio.
