In this video I make a patch from scratch to make percussive sequences featuring Zaps! Zaps is a 24HP percussion synth voice designed for creating organic percussive sequences that can mutate over time. Together with Mimetic Digitalis and a few Versio effects it goes very groovy! Enjoy!
Exclusive Sample Pack with percussive loops made with this modular synth is available on my Patreon!

0:00 Hello World!
2:55 Patch 1
12:52 Patch 2
🌍 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.

So we need a part 2 for the other features of ZAPs. 😊
Great to see another video from you again, it's been a while.
Ihor! Been watching your videos for quite some time now and I must say you are one of my favorite musicians to draw inspiration from. I love your personality and approach to making music. Hope this finds you well. Cheers 👋🏻
Hey Ihor! Thank you for the video. You've truly created some incredible beats from Zaps. Your ability to bring out the best in the sounds and rhythms is impressive. Amazing work!

I've been watching the Zaps module for about a year, and this one sold me on it. Super cool grooves! Ihor is kind of a master of 62hp ; )
Happy you expanded on this module. The request for more advanced usage is needed. Powerful module, but no one really expands upon why the other cv inputs on the ZAPs are there and what one can do with them. Definitely Best Zaps yt seen yet! Keep it up! & TY!

First time watching your channel and Im having a blast. This is probably one of the best demos/jams I´ve seen on modular gear, and I have seen like pretty much all them... Kudos for that natural way of made machines sing

Thank you! I love sequencing in that way! Glad you like it!
You should try out some IME gear. I sold all my NE stuff after getting my first IME oscillator. Now I have mostly IME stuff. The IME oscillators are very powerful and have a weight that I felt was missing from the NE oscillators. They sounded thin to me. I could get along with their wave folders. That’s my opinion at least.
Welcome back sir, great content as usual

I was sceptical at first, but by 11:18 you really brought some groove!
So its routable which is extremely open which saves youre presets winter is good at this workflow asset ... openess. I think this overlooked by other hybrid module designers.
awesome sound
Always a nice surprise when you post a new video brother! Cheers!

I was actually looking to get sounds like these but I'm still on the fence about eurorack due to costs. I found Glitchmachines Tactic VST does get pretty close to those random like sequences.

Oh yeah, that's nice.

What style/genre of music would you call this? It’s not quite techno, glitch or electronica (IMO). I’d like to discover and listen to more of it. Anyone have suggestions?
@IhorMedia
Жыл бұрын
Hard to say, to be honest. Something like Glitch IDM. Electronica has become to broad. I don’t really know what electronica really is. However IDM is the same. Looking for suggestions too!

Hello Ihor! I would like to start with techno production (groove techno but also hard techno). What kind of devices I need as a beginner? Is a Rytm MK2 enough for everything? Or should I buy different multiple devices? I don't care about the learn curve, I am patient and I know that learning takes time. Thank you in advance.
@IhorMedia

Well, Rytm can get you covered quite a lot. It has a lot to offer - drum synths, vco synths, samples, sequencer, performance mode, etc. It integrates great with any DAW and can be an extremely useful part of a hybrid workflow. It’s a bit expensive though. Partially you pay for all the analog circuitry in it. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But still there are cheaper alternatives like Syntakt that you can have a look at. What I would recommend is to watch a few different takes on the Rytm or Syntakt on KZread. Listen to how it sounds and its character. From the workflow perspective I think any Elektron machine is great!
He's back ❤

so great. trying to find any samplers like this - please let me know of any if anyone knows, im unfamiliar!
so zaps is creating that glitchy transistion mainly or is that another module? would like to build something up that doesn't neccesarily require all these modules but get close enough to the same sound. im assuming the zaps module at minimum?
@IhorMedia
Жыл бұрын
Zaps is the one that creates those glitchy sounds. Other modules sequence it and add effects. To make it very minimal you’ll need at least CV and gate sequencer to make it work 👌

@@aikighost well, this is a synthesiser first of all. I can expect the sounds that it makes to be processed in a way that fits into a specific production.
