Modular Techno Patch / Making music just on the few modules
❤️ Support me on Patreon - / ihor
In this video I carefully make a techno patch from scratch using only modular synth. Drums, bassline and master distortion. Modular patching is tricky at times, especially with a tiny 62hp case. I think I nailed it tho!

🌍 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.

This is so good, Ihor. So glad I found your channel. Thank you.
I can't believe how much expression you can get out of such a small case (and without re-patching!) Also, as an aside, basically every video of yours I watch, I end up wishing the jam session was 3 times as long. You have such a knack for performance!

Hi Ihor, i really enjoy your videos. You explain things in a very pedagogic way. To get a beat going and fiddle around with this, bassline and drums is not so difficult (it might not sound good, but thats another question..) The hard part for me is introducing variation. Imagine a 45-60 minutes set. one would need more options to change the sound during the set. Here is where i am struggling a bit to get this to work good and not get boring. Could you possibly make a video discussing this topic?

Thank you Kent for your feedback. Much much appreciated. On the topic of long sets I am trying to wrap my head around it. I think some videos will come eventually. But first I'd like to release a few long jams!

Going to give this a go with my ALM case, see if I can get something similar from Dinky's Taiko. The mimetic digitalis is going to be the tough one to substitute I think.
@IhorMedia
2 жыл бұрын
Mimetic's useful feature is that it can randomise and save CV values on step basis. So that it is created randomly, but preserved and loops over and over again. Which is my desired repetitiveness! You can get similar results from Pam's for example. There is randomly shaped wave and Loop that makes a seed from that random wave. So you keep the repetitiveness and not complete randomness.
Must have modules for dark techno??? Might make for a good video ;)
Amazing stuff
Ok, this video is awesome. Great sounds, but the real winner is the patch walk through and mini-tutorial on Pam’s. We’re you using the start/stop button to control the mutes on the Pam tracks?

If you press and hold encoder and then press start/stop you will mute the active track. Unmute is the same. Thanks for watching!

Well, what you see is my modular haha. I am kinda a minimalist modular guy and like experimenting with a small case. But there will be more modular videos in the future! Stay tuned!
Been playing very similarly (Pam, mimetic lapsus and Basimilus), I added a dfam for the kick (and some noises) so I can use the BIA for some melodic lines. Guess I need to really get that Manis! Noise engineering really is addictive aren’t they?

I had a skiff that had PNW, BIA, and MD in it (along with a couple other things) and I just couldn't get along with MD as a sequencer. I would always just go back to having Pam do it. I asked the NE guys about it and they said, "Well, MD isn't a melodic sequencer, its a CV sequencer" and I get that but...yeah. I just couldn't deal with the pressing the hard metal knob to (attempt to) change notes thing.

Well, MD might not be "melodic to the scale", unless you quantise the CV with a quantiser of some sort. However I am down with not quantised stuff. Like in this exact video. I didn't care about scale. I just auditioned and let my brain decide if it sounds good or not. And this is where MD stands out. It gives results out of any scale. Some unexpected and experimental results. And I am totally down with this!
