It's pretty easy, just frequency modulate the right osc with the left osc at lfo speed, saw wave works nicely. find the frequencies/mod index that you like and open you VCA fully, adjust filter/res to taste. Also the phaser here has a strong impact on the sound. Check my demo of the Complex Oscillator, I think I show a similar sound in a bit more details.

Hi Lucas, apologies if you've said this in the video and I missed it but what are you using to mix the individual outs on the Alpha Base when playing live?

Жыл бұрын

For this livestream it was a Mackie 16 channel mixer, but I've never brought the Alphabase again for playing live, I use an Octatrack now, much more convenient.

Je suis impressionné par le son hyper large de l'Alpha Base, notamment sur le pattern avec le deuxième kit vers le début de la vidéo. Est-ce que c'est le son pur de l'Alpha base avec la réverbe interne ou bien est-ce qu'il y a d'autres effets externes à ce moment-là (autre que l'El Capistan sur le tom, si j'ai bien compris) ? Peut-être que tu le précises plus loin, il faudra que je prenne le temps de tout regarder en entier (j'ai eu un peu la flemme pour l'instant parce que le modulaire c'est pas trop mon truc et je n'y comprends rien en général...)

@LucasMarchal

2 жыл бұрын

Hello ! Pourtant tout est quasi en mono, à part un peu de reverb sur les hats je pense et un peu de delay sur les toms (les deux fx sont en stéréo). Je n'ai pas utilisé les effets internes, pourtant ils sont plutôt corrects.

@shallowthenhalo

2 жыл бұрын

@@LucasMarchal Merci pour ta réponse ! Ce sont peut-être ces deux légers effets stéréo qui me donnent cette impression d'"immensité", parfois dans un mix avec tous les instruments au milieu il suffit d'en panoramiser un seul pour avoir le maximum d'effet plutôt que de tout panoramiser (leçon que j'ai apprise du channel KZread "House of Kush"). Ou alors c'est simplement le son massif de l'Alpha Base qui me fait cet effet, haha! Au passage, tes vidéos où figurent l'Alpha Base et ton set Resilience sont parmi les rares exemples d'utilisation de cette BAR que j'aie trouvés convainquants et qui arrivent à en faire ressortir les qualités dans un contexte musical avec d'autres synthés. Je suis fasciné par le son de cette machine et régulièrement tenté de m'en procurer une, ce qui me retient c'est que j'ignore si elle pourra convenir dans mon style (EBM, Darkwave, Coldwave), où typiquement on a souvent plutôt besoin d'un kick très sec genre TR-707. Y a pas, faut que je m'en achète une pour voir par moi-même ce que ça donne :D Au pire, je serai obligé de démarrer un projet parallèle dub techno...

There are problems with basically all Verbos modules. Which makes it even more absurd how expensive they are and the hype that he has managed to build with the cooler than thou Brooklyn-Berlin crowd. A tech person who knows what they're talking about once said the errors are not build errors, but actually design errors in the circuits themselves, which is indeed, a big problem, especially compared to all the great modular companies out there now run by engineers with a strong electrical background and decades of building and repair experience.

It’s quite weird, and for the continual number of people that have threads or comments about “my Verbos module does X when Y..is this normal? Is something broken?” Really not right, especially at those prices. Lots and lots of instances of poor support too.
