Dude you win my day with that

I feel like I left this video learning a lot. I learned about you as an artist, but you were also very real in saying that the test equipment is hardmode. I see what you and other arists do and I was genuinely excited to try some of it out. But of course, it's a lot harder to understand. I don't even know what my sound is. I'm glad I'm sticking with making music but I sure do have a lot more to learn. Thanks Hainbach!

I really think that the thing keeping you out of modular was feeling the urge to create a good kinda of linear sequence, which really gets boring as hell. Having this setup, apart from the brains+PP sequences, allows a dynamic experience with natural feelings and really gets closer to the feedback a acoustic instrument gives you. At least this is my opinion, since I am absolutely tired of sequencing things, and blippity bloop them haha ! Great Vid as always ! :D

I’m a patron now. This video pushed me over the edge. I’ll be getting several of the modules... all the filters and both of the oscillators if I can find them. This was so gritty it’s causing me angst. Thanks for being authentically yourself.

“Nightmare difficulty if I was playing Doom” love it

That kick drum was INSANE

I’ve been rethinking my rack in a somewhat similar way. Some things are a little too “finished” in my current system, that does take the experimantal fun away.. Pretty inspiring, thanks!

Yeah, lots of new modules make so many choices for you, it feels like loosing the exploration part.

The trick is finding a way to make your tools serve your work, your expression, while letting them influence but not to replace that expression. It is not always possible - sometimes we just need time away from an instrument or processor, to let that field of possibilities go fallow before it finds new uses or old ones in new work. When the tools are good ones, our changing lives will usually allow us to find those points of reconnection later on - as you have done here beautifully with these mostly old modules. It is not that the other modules did too much for you so much as you were looking for a different way to work with your current state of mind and your plans to travel. Sometimes it is just wanting a different set of handles for much the same sounds. Sometimes you just need a more or less direct connection to those sounds, and other times you just need a whole new starting point. It's all okay - so long as you understand what you want and you are lucky enough to have options. Thanks for the video.

This is such a high quality channel. Thanks for all your hard work.

Fantastic video. Thanks for posting this. I still can’t get over the fantastic sounds and textures.

Its both funny and interesting. After watching virtually any of your videos I find myself freshly stimulated and often come up with something new, fresh and not necessarily sonically related to the content of the video. There is an infectious nature to your enthusiasm that gets me every time! Thanks!.

Well this certainly answers a lot of questions I had about finding the test equipment sounds in eurorack. Thank you!

I appreciate this one. Its nice to see how accessible some of your sounds are without having to invest the money/space into huge pieces of test equipment.

That track at the end (15:28) oh my word. This is very inspiring to focus my current build. Thanks Hainbach.

I love this video! I’ve watched it like ten times already and here I am doing it again! Very inspiring techniques. And hey, exciting times ahead, you have 99,9 thousand subscribes at the moment! I hope you have something special coming up for us hainbachers!

This is a wonderful video Heinbach. I really dig this approach to a careful module selection.

Omg that loud feedback was so beautiful and then the ring modulated version was even more beautiful. Very physical sounding. Like a string section or bagpipes.. loved that. Phoo

I will watch this video more than once... so much inspiration in here, thank you!

Finally :) Hyped to hear this setup!

Some of your best sounds here! Thank you for exploration!

I have a similar crisis in my studio. With Euro not delivering the same excitement. Thank you for your insight.

youre great man, always look forward to your videos!! so much inspiration to get from this stuff.

Brilliant. My ResEQ is going to get some fresh love after this.

Oh man, Hainbach! I could watch your tutorials for days!

Great case walk through. Thank you so much for the thoughtful explanations of your decision processes! While I don't respond to the degree of difficulty concerns - making music isn't weight lifting or figure skating, I totally respond to the "emotional test" and to being unsatisfied and underwhelmed by modules that do too much for me.

Of all the modular artists I know, your use of filters is the most beautiful/creative :) I'm so tempted by the vacuum tube oscillator and your filter bank of angels. I'mma go sell a kidney, brb.

Thank you! Ever since I discovered that you can play the resonance on my Roland SH02 filters have been my favorite source of sounds.

Thanks Hainbach- you got an amazing amount of power, range and flexibility out of just 6U. A good lesson for all looking to get into modular but are on a tight budget.

Inspiring as always. I like your workflow. I have gone a similar route. I have made a small, portable 42HP modular case which can run off of USB power. I just have the most useful modules in there - two Radio Music modules, a Wogglebug, Turing Machine and Rings. This has been my go-to case recently. I also impose arbitrary limits on how I can configure stuff, much like the Three Module Challenges which everyone seems to ascribe to. I sometimes introduce a twist, for example, I can use any / all the modules in the case, but limit myself to a fixed number of patch-cables. This has helped me overcome the choice paralysis / procrastination barrier, especially when away from home as I can then take just the bare essentials.

Revisiting this as I dive into modular... wow! Clocking a sequential switch at audio rates... With an oscillator that's being affected by the switch... This is a wildly inspiring concept!

Then I realized ! One of your BEST unterständig electronic music KZread’s .

Thanks. Just had a fun hour playing with self oscillating filters and feedback loops, inspired by this video. :)

Love your approach to “non conventional” sounds

I finished this video, went to go tidy up and in the middle of doing dishes realized you have zero dedicated VCAs in your rack. Hardmode indeed you absolute madman.

@Hainbach

4 жыл бұрын

Ha, true. I have gotten so used living without them that even the single ringmod feels a lot.

Not until this moment did I understand how empty and hopeless my life is without a res eq.

I remember seeing the video on the UBM and thinking, "Damn, that sounds a lot like an R54." Cool that you thought so too!

I know I'm late to the party, but I just had to say, that did NOT sound like the typical eurorack type of sound design I've always heard. I LOVED it! It sounded just like the test equipment you built it to emulate! I run a large format Dotcom Box 11 system. It's still in its infancy stage, but now I'm curious as to how I can achieve such a sound on a 5U system. Thanks for the inspiration!

Welcome back to Eurorack!

Maybe it is more important to ave an 'instrument' through which you can express yourself more than a wall of the latest blinkenlights. I think I have found same. Thanks for posting this one.

Great work! It seems you put a lot of careful consideration into the modules you selected. I can relate to the feeling of being stuck within a certain sonic realm, or a mentality that limits your patches. For me, a little bit of alcohol helps me patch differently and discover new sounds, but a whole new system of awesome stuff sounds like a good approach too!

Your test equipment produces super-low-end beyond what is audible. The euro to me tends to have a harder time getting that low, but it was very cool to see how it could be done.

These are stunning results. Bleeptiy Bloopity no more!

Amazing. Inspiring!!

Nice sounds... keep on looking for...

Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic!

Hainbach : *unexpected doom reference* Me : *Swoon*

inspiring stuff

this resEQ is very good sounding,organic,have to take a closer look!

Very inspiring!

Nice video! I had the same experience with going into Eurorack first. However I'm a guitarist originally so I'm used to using effects. So i focused on effect modules like the Strymon Magneto and the Mimeophone which helped me to make more interesting droney sounds instead of bleepy sounds... also got the Morphagene to make even weirder sounds.

Around 15:10 minutes you'll almost in EMS Synthi AKS theritory. Almost sounds like Pink Floyd - On the run. Also your drones sounds fantastic! Great sound! :-)

I’m in a similar situation my eurorack is in pieces and I’ve sold half of it because I feel like I keep falling into a trap where what I build is too simple, I’ve though about selling off all of my eurorack and heading elsewhere (like serge or maybe even buchla) but for now it’s all on hold until I can decide where I want to take it..I can definitely relate to needing that ‘nightmare mode’ difficulty. Your build has definitely given me some ideas

9:28 heilige scheisse

That feedback is loveyyyyy

I listen to Impluse Generator when I need to calm my troubled brain which is often. I was able to get some Hainbach-ish sounds out of my MFB Dominion and Sub37 and I was happy.

Love the Doom reference!

I like what you said about connecting emotionally to music. Connecting emotionally to music is a challenge no matter the instrument, but that's what makes music (or any creative work) special and worth doing. By the way, I feel like Pressure Points/Maths/Morphagene have some kind of indefinable "playable" quality that I don't get from most modules. Make Noise have a musical way of designing interfaces that I find more expressive than most of my gear. I can see why a lot of people would be perplexed by their modules though, they definitely require practice.

Good points! Connecting emotionally to your instrument is pretty much essential I would say. You should get the need to play with it, experiment, create.... Music making is and always should be a very emotinal thing.

Kudos!

my brain just exploded.

Being awesomely unique is very Cool! Now... if you can learn to use your new eurorack system to troubleshoot electronic circuits... you will have created an entirely new circle of bliss... 🦉✨

Resonant Equalizer + Saw Wave... Scientifically known as the brain tickle formula.

have been waiting for this vid...

It is such a beautiful instrument you just created there. Very inspiring, thank you 👍 :) Edit: I also want 4 beautiful Angels in my system..... :(

8:33 sounds exactly like a patch I had going tonight with my Novation Bass Station Rack and an Ekdahl Moisturizer interfacing with the Novation's(way ahead of its time) CV connections.

The Cwejman DMF-2 around 16:00 sounds so good!

I just watched the Last and First Men movie trailer and the 15:30 really captures that style. The takeaway is: You need a 16mm camera (or filter effects)

You're a madman (in a good way)

7:07 - 7:45 ripped my brain apart with headphones on

going to try to do a similar setup on my old Nord Micromodular. fixing up a reso EQ will be the hardest part, I reckon.

_It's nightmare difficulty if we're playing Doom._ Hahaha ... I now know _EXACTLY_ the feeling how difficult it would be! :-)

Ottima sperimentazione

I completely agree, my modular takes effort to create something interesting. These all in one modules are to easy.

Huh, i never thought about using an osc as a trigger source. Pretty neat trick!

It is test equipment thing - you have to always think of ways to create the most basic musical forms, but the results are often so rewarding and unique.

Nice!

I must admit all this test equipment makes me drool! I particularly enjoyed seeing that Willem Twee's studio. I was especially fascinated with your Grundig signalspeicher micro looper. How do you find these beauties? I rarely if ever see them on eBay. Cheers.

Love to see the audio path once it leaves the instrument. Also how you arrange, finalizing etc. not sure if you’re interested in sharing that part.

Hi Hainbach, New subscriber to your channel incoming - hugely inspiring and very moving pieces, so thank you so much! Also wanted to ask, where would you start if considering getting into modular? I've been scouring your channel but haven't seen any finite 'recommendations'. Myself, I've been playing a piano for years, guitar for fewer, singing for a lot and recently picked up an OP-1 which has already been really inspiring. But the gear bug has bitten me, and now I am looking at modular for the tinkering aspect and something I can combine with the OP-1. I've been very moved by your OP-1 + Cocoquantus pieces like 'Friends I Lost', and the Cocoquantus seems so intriguing and inspiring. But being completely new to modular (aside from some electrical engineering basics from my degree), I fear it may not be the best place to start. So yeah, do you have any thoughts on modular starting point, or can you point me to a vid or some other resource where you've discussed this? Many thanks, Niels

Good luck trying to find the Cwejman modules.

Love you sharing the journey and evolution. Not sure I will say this right. I struggle with feeling inspired from sequencers, knobs and cables. I have keyboard synths and eurorack. I also have guitars and an acoustic drum kit. I much prefer the tactile-ness of playing a guitar and drums vs a synth and modular. However, I love the sounds from the modular and synth. What am I missing that could help me feel more from the synths and modular? My compromise is using a sensor on a drum or a guitar pedal to bridge the gap to bleeps but then there is the limitation of the attack, sustain, decay and release of the respective instrument used. Thanks and I really enjoy these videos.

@@Hainbach Definitely on the right track. I need some interface to touch that is expressive. Maybe I just need to get various items to hit or pluck, mic them and use fx. By the way, that metasonix sounds amazing. I've looked for one and have yet to find one for sale.

damnit! now im shopping for eurorack cases again 😭

Hi Hainbach! This is a very inspiring video! Thanks! What's your advice? what would I use instead of these modules: Cwejman RES-4, Dmf-2, Metasonic R-54, Serge Resonant eq. Thank you!

Berghainnbach. Kommt in die Wörter Sammlung!

More of the Berghainbach :D

I like the way you think with this stuff, and I enjoy hard mode too. But the way the Vector is perched up there makes me nervous... Oddly, this video got me interested in Morphagene. I've kind of been ignoring it. Although what I'm reading about Phonogene and its more lo-fi nature might lead me that way instead... hmm.

Have you had a look at the Buchla Red Panel 158 oscillator? It's quite test equipment-like and sounds really great.

Great rack setup. I'm surprised you haven't looked into Buchla Red Panel stuff, as the original system 100 stuff really reminds me of lab equipment with more CV capabilities added. They have also recently announced that they will be doing through-hole kits of the system 100 stuff sometime this year as well. I'm much more excited for that than the red panel stuff, personally.

I've been really considering diving into some of the 100 DiY stuff that is sold on modular addict and discussed on muffwiggler, but may wait to see how the official Buchla stuff pans out. Likely be a bit overpriced. Supposedly the Human Comparator that did the TTSH is involved. That said, I've actually got a Korg 2600 coming in the next month or so, whenever they start shipping, and have just finished building a 1601 sequencer clone for that. Maybe I should try being content for a few months.

Hey Hainbach! Hast du schon mal den Bastl Kastle probiert? Ich finde diese kleine Kiste kommt nah an das Test Equipment ran. In meinem kleinen Instrumentenpark ist es das coolste Instrument!

Amazing that you can fit such a large sound into such a small case.

Have you tried a Benjolin module HAINBACH? I think it would be a worthy addition to your eurorack setup.

how did you got into making sounds for theatre? did you just send them some tunes and waited for response? did you have some friends in the business??
