In this video I experimented with my Mini Modular Eurorack System. In particular I explored the Pamelas New Workout and its Euclidean Rhythm generation complemented by the Loop option. Pam is a really good tool for melodies creation and rhythmic modulation. I am satisfied with this melodic techno tutorial and a modular jam, even though it doesn't necessarily sound like techno. This video is also a good tutorial about modular synths for beginners.

🌍 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.

The best way to explain these functions is with some graphic illustration that you flash while playing back the perfect example.
Loving your setup! Amazing vibes! Keep on doing those vids!
I keep telling myself I won't jump into modular, but this is the exact kind of compact rig I'd find super fun to make and play with! One super flexible oscillator and the ability to generate interesting rhythms and patterns on the fly. Plus pairs so well with the OT for live contexts. Nicely done:)

Thank you James! I actually love Plaits a lot! It has so many different sounds in it. Really capable!
I've been learning so much about modular from you, thank you for taking the time to create these detailed videos, it's finally allowing me to really understand the modular workflow, and your videos are incredibly visually pleasing as well. You are going to blow up with subscribers soon I know it.

i don't know why, but i think the way you do room audio voice recording is much more engaging than delivering some polished voice audio that competes with the nuances of the material and techniques you're trying to highlight. there's an aural shelf, or demarcation, that helps me focus on both what you're saying, and the musical material. keep up the great work!

I have exactly the same feeling about compressed and polished voice recordings for videos. It makes them sound somehow "unreal". The room reverb, on the other hand, gives the feeling that you are sitting next to this person. In my latest videos though I improved quality of the voice recording. However I really wanted to keep that "room" a little bit, so that people feel like on the one on one coaching session. I wonder if I managed to keep it sound real. If you watched one of my latest videos I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks for watching and your kind words!
Great Video, same technic I am using with Pamela. Such a great module and must have in every case :)

Great walkthrough in creating unique rhythms with PNW. Very inspirational. Opened my eyes to a feature I need to try. The module is awesome and you really nicely showed how it can be the center of a cool, vibing patch. Really enjoy your videos. Creative and flow well. Many thanks for the modular inspiration.

You are welcome and thank you very much, Chris. Your words mean a lot to me! ✌️ Pam can also quantize CV to a certain scale. I guess the combination of Mimetic and Scales could be avoided in this patch actually. Such a module!

Wow. I guess I really need to dig deeper into this module. It is a recent one for me and a workhorse for clocking, LFO and even a little ad hoc CV, but from what you’ve shown and mentioned, I’m only scratching the surface. Thanks Ihor, this is awesome stuff!

I m fairly recent to modular but now I can see how Pam's can work really well with the Digitalis or my Ornament and Crime. That video sold me to it.
Sounds awesome! Have you tried using right angle cords for the audio output of the Intellijel? That way you have more freedom with hands in front left corner.

Hello, i like your video very much! It is very useful. Im beginning with modular systems and dont have a lot of experience yet. I also bought the Octatrack and have one question to you. The Octatrack i haven´t use it. How do i connect the Octatrack to the modular. Which module could you suggest? Im happy to hear from you soon. Greetings from Berlin. :)
@IhorMedia

Hi! Glad you found my video useful! ✌️ When it comes to connecting the Octatrack to the modular I think we talk about MIDI clock and sequencer. For that you will need a MIDI cable and a MIDI to CV converter module. I use MIDI 1U from intellijel and I am happy with it. But any other converter module will also work good. I like the 1U module, because it doesn’t take any 3U space in my little system. I have a few videos on my channel about the Octatrack and Modular, and also one about MIDI 1U module. Check them, they will be useful for you and hopefully will answer some of your questions upfront 😉

Have you ever tried to use MPC One for your eurorack sampling/recording / beat making? And using the 8 CV/GATE out of MPC one to control the rack? I have a MPC One. Been thinking about Digitakt.. you really make me want to get a Digitakt after watching your videos :) Seems perhaps quicker and better for live jams, vs MPC One.
@IhorMedia

Hey Jennifer! I’ve never had an MPC, so it would be hard to say for me. From what I’ve seen on KZread MPC is much more complicated than the DT. At least for my taste. I think that having CV and Gate outputs/inputs is amazing! On the Digitakt I sync it with Modular via MIDI, which introduces a bit of latency. With CV and gate there won’t be any latency.

You weren't kidding you got Pams that quickly! Was it next door?! haha. Regarding Pams, could you connect RST on uMIDI to RUN on Pams so you can control transport using OT (or whatever external MIDI you have connected).

Yeah man! It was almost next door, to be honest. I went on modulargrid and there was a guys selling it from the city nearby. Coincidence? 😝 That is such a module! Thanks for pointing out! I thought to go with Run connection, but was lazy to configure MIDI 1U module (I would have to take it out and connect to a laptop and so on). 😝 But certainly to a bigger extent it is a way to go!
