Well, i recommend you modules with big knobs then, and everything knob per function. Meaning, no digital modules with menu-diving. The big knobs are important so you have clear where everything is and also it just feels lot better than the tiny pots. It would be very interesting to me to hear about your experience, i imagine you experience sound way different then others, especially when you turn a knobs and it changes.

This is my favourite video you’ve done, you two are both geniuses

it’s literally like installing the flight controls in a cockpit

This is seriously one of the coolest applications of modular synths I’ve seen! Sounds sooo good

I think this type of video could work well as a livestream. I also seriously appreciate how you work advertisements into your videos. It usually interrupts the flow of the video, but you’ve made the effort to have the advertisement feel like a part of the experience. I wish more creators did this.

This was really fun! It's interesting to see the process of figuring out how to get certain sounds. Final result is really awesome! Maybe a little aggressive for sleeping though, especially with the light show 😄

this reminds me of an experiment i was doing a few months ago with synthedit, where i had a single vst creating and controlling other things. it had wave sounds, wind, chirping birds, crickets, rain and thunder, as well as some other ambient stuff, all with different controls for frequency, volume etc. tho i ended up getting tired of how unstable synthedit2 was before i added the final features i wanted (namely an input to be able to manually trigger thunder). to make the rain specifically, i ended up using different noise layers and filtering them in different ways, taking inspiration from how minecraft has different rain samples played together based on how far underground or under a ceiling you are. there were: - "far droplets" which were just lightly filtered white noise - "close droplets" which were brown noise with some a very fast and randomized volume envelope - "wet drops" and "dry drops" being a few sine plucks making very simple "bubble" and clicky sounds for droplets that just happen to land nearby on solid surfaces, with some filters to simulate whether they were falling on a mostly solid and dry surface (dry drops) or into like a puddle (wet drops). all of those filtering steps were actually performed * twice * on two different sets of noise generators, cause i wanted you to be able to control just how stereo each part was. I had it set so that by default, far rain was essentially mono and near rain was almost fully stereo, with the wet and dry drops being somewhere inbetween. thunder itself was just bandpassed brown noise, with the frequency of the bandpass being controlled by an envelope so that it started sharp and quickly dropped to lower tones. the volume of it was controlled by more brown noise, heavily lowpassed so it turned into a very random wave, without having to rely on regular delay. other things like the birds and the crickets was essentially just a buncha weird waveshapes being triggered at certain intervals, honestly most of the fun stuff was in the rain generator. gonna go see if i can dig out that project now. EDIT: oh yeah how could i forget there was also a module in it to generate "walking noises", which let you filter how fast or slow they were, how strongly the person was stepping down into the ground, and if the ground was solid, muddy or sandy to different levels, and my favourite feature of it: a drunkness knob that let you control how irregular the steps were lol EDIT2: can't find the project but i did find this video i uploaded of it kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZniBrslqaavJZMo.html

So happy to have more modular synth content!

haha Rob! I'm really enjoying how you are immediately drawn to just making some nice relaxing soundscapes. Funnily enough I had a similar experience when I first played with my Empress Zoia, I immediately started making a beach soundscape with tweeting birds. Somehow it's a soothing concept and good imagination fuel to have a little organic scene emulator inside an electronic box. Love these playful collabs. Thanks for documenting and sharing :)

This session was awesome, the journey through the modules to achieve something so natural was truly amazing 😮 need more of these please

I really love the result of the thunder and the rain. The boat sounds a bit more like a spaceship to me though :D

I think this video is really cool because it really shows just how complex natural sounds can be, even when it doesn't seem like it. Like you guys being surprised at how much goes into just a lightning strike was really fascinating to watch.

I love how rob just continually asks Andrew to make more complex sounds throughout the video

Great video! Can’t wait for the first of October!

Really cool non-musical dive with modular synths & you guys are always super fun to watch. I almost fell over laughing at the end, unexpected but hilarious.

A short film where all of the sound design is created with modular synths would be so sick

To me it sounds like an 8 bit attempt at a storm sound effect it like a mystery video game. It also gives me vibes of like a cosmic horror kind of lighthouse thing like the game "No one lives under the lighthouse" It's a very ominous and creepy sounding storm you guys have made here and I honestly would like to see another attempt at natural sounds using just modular synths.

this was a fantastic video. I want to see this exact thing again with different sounds. please do more! I felt like I learned loads without it feeling like a tutorial.

Spent the afternoon making wave and wind noise on my Zoia. Still working on a decent thunder sound. Fun and relaxing project. Thanks for your ever inspiring videos.

This is awesome ! I’d love more content like this

This reminds me of how textures are often made in CGI and games. Instead of using a picture or painted texture (musical instrument or recording) they will generate a texture using masks and filters and generators, the out put can be as realistic or stylised as the artist is capable of designing. These would be your different modules. This is used instead of a picture or painting because it’s easily editable can have triggers applied to it, and could be cheaper memory wise than a high res image. At least this is my limited understanding of it, as I never got too deep into it.

I was so stoked when the milkyway module went in, that was one of my first two """nice""" modules I got and I love it so much, it's such a versitile module

This is such a left field interesting way to understand how modular synths work... which I personally don't, but it somehow felt much clearer looking at it from this perspective. Also, parts of it sounded like something from Carl Sagan's Cosmos... Vangelis stuff. xD I kinda remember some episode of the show making correlations between space travel, alien worlds, and finishing up in a beach or something. :P Anyways, awesome video Rob!

FIRST OF OCTOBER SOOOON AHHHH I LOVE YOU GUYS YOU MAKE MY YEAR

Great vid! the ending had me squeaking with laughter!

When I was a kid in the .. a long time ago 😙.. I took apart radios and flashlights, Walkmen, stereo receivers, record players, fans, anything electronic I could get my hands on, put them back together and get jinky with whatever noises the “broken” Franken-machines made. I’d lay my head on the floor next to the speakers for extra effect. The dials, buttons, wires, antennae, plugs, solder boards.. so tactile. I’d always wanted more control over the results. This is what that is.

This is honestly one of the most enjoyable and fun videos I've ever watched

oh man this is getting me stoked for the next first of october lets get some wild modular in there this time! curious Rob, what are the lapel mics you and Andrew were using in this video? they look very convenient and wireless lol. great stuff as always

This is a great way to learn more about building a modular sound from scratch

I think the idea of using modular to control 'the room' (i.e. with lighting effects but maybe also vibration, dry ice, even bursts of wind) is a super cool idea, especially if integrated with the music you're making.

I had to learn in school the physics difference between all the types of noise, very cool to hear it!

I need to know what watch that is that you're wearing! Also, I loved everything about this video. Always enjoy your content with Andrew Haung!

One of my favorite video genres is people geeking out over things I'm barely knowledgeable about, but deeply affect me as a person. There's something nourishing about watching people sharing what they love and is one of my favorite characteristics of humanity.

I could watch you two do literally anything for hours.

A soft murmur is a fantastic background noise website and app that lets you mix in different ambient sounds and even has a setting for slowly varying the levels of the sources you choose. It’s great for blocking out noise when studying or trying to sleep. Also not hundreds of dollars in modular synths, but it doesn’t come with built in LEDS, or a fun time hanging out with Andrew.

Rob's plea for more delay has become a staple of his musical style

Great video and definitely fascinating for someone like myself who absolutely needs background noises to sleep or even to just stay sane in the heart of a biggish city. However, I find it rather ironic that you put all that time and effort into building a one-of-a-kind machine to do exactly what can already effectively be done simply by going to a website like Noises Online or similar site. Except for the lighting, AFAIK that part can't be replicated simply by following a link. But you ended up with something so very close to what I constructed for myself simply by spending a few minutes on a website... I will admit, however, that the way you guys did it shows way more class. So well done, I guess. In the end it's the journey and not the destination that's important.

FYI, red noise is the same thing as brown noise. It's called red noise, because it's a colored noise. (White noise is colorless, because it has the same loudness across all frequencies) Red noise has the most loudness in lower frequencies, and every octave, the loudness decreases by 6 dB. It's also called "Brown" or "Brownian" noise after the "Brownian motion". It's named after Robert Brown, and not the color brown. There is also blue noise, which is the opposite of red and brown noise. Loudest in high frequencies, and the loudness increases 6 dB per octave, as the frequencies go higher. There is pink noise, which is between red and white noise. It gets quieter at higher frequencies, but the change is slower, and only 3 dB per octave.
