We're all hands on deck with hardware development. But we'll get to VCV stuff at some point ;) All the plugins are still fully compatible as x64 via rosetta 2. I still teach with them with no compatibility issues :)

That's very much the plan!! Now that it has much better optimised, dedicated space it will feature more and more in what we create. And eventually we'll be inviting some artists in to work with it :)

@@instruo Frickin' sweet! Chookity pah

@@mpingo91 for now they are still fully compatible and efficient running on Apple silicon via rosetta2. All developers are hands on deck with hardware development at present but we’ll get to software support at some point :) I teach using the VCV suite, and I use M1 macs, so I have personal incentive to maintain them ;) It’s a case of juggling projects at present.

@@instruo Gee! Rosetta! I had forgotten about that! THX!

@@instruois that with the latest version of VCV?

@@Jin-Hu Good question! I'm currently running V2.4.1 macOS x64 It's been totally stable for me on a 2021 M1 MAX machine. The trick will be to install the x64 version vs the arm64 version. I would guess that the .pkg will be a universal macOS installer which will have both x64 and arm64 in it. There's bound to be a way to install the x64 build for use through rosetta2. This is why I like analogue gear! 🤣

@@instruo ah, that’s what I did too, took a wee bit of sleuthing lol, thanks man

@@instruo Looking forward to it. Thanks for all you do!

A first fundamental approach is exactly as you describe: with filtering and envelope following a particular impulse (kick). The tagh looks for a modular clock signal. So deriving that steady BPM clock signal is ultimately the missing piece of the puzzle here. I designed the tempo follower pretty much with the use case you describe in mind. The primary factor will be regularity. The tap tempo following algorithm doesn't account for missed beats. Meaning that if in 4 bars of 4/4, missing a beat would cause the follower to try to adapt to half time, 2/4 over the duration of 1 beat, which will cause it to fluctuate and lag. How dramatically this will occur will depend on the overall tempo. Precise tempo following from a variable complex audio source (live drums) was never my intent for the tagh on its own, as this is already much better done natively within ableton and other software applications. Adapting to a tempo-variable, consistent clock is what the tagh does very well :) I actively patch and play with a modular system in conjunction with acoustic drums. (I have some videos in the works showing some of the methods I've been exploring) There are always limitations with tempo following. Ableton is by far the best consumer implementation :) Please do keep us updated on any solutions you find moving forward!

@@instruo MI Marbles has so far been the best friend for following a live drummer. I sent a file with Marbles following a loop to Ben, so you can check it out if you want to compare. Marbles was generally more consistent than tágh, and much better at landing on the beat, but unlike tágh it stops when the incoming clock stops. Marbles also tends to do wild clock multiplications when the incoming pattern changes (though it does usually manage to land back on the beat). Marbles will remember the sequence of incoming pulses, so as long as the pattern stays consistent it will follow really well. Marbles will also anticipate tempo changes if the gate length is a function of tempo. Ben did the tágh test for me so I can't be sure of all of the variables. I'm in Brazil so it's near impossible to get my hands on a tágh to do the comparison myself. Thanks for sharing your thinking! I'd love to see some videos with your thoughts and experiments working with live drums.

Yes please!

@@claytonlister25 ahaha yes. It Gets the creative juices going

Only the 2.0.0 upgrade file is for the uSD card. All subsequent updates are done via USB. If you send us and email at info@instruomodular.com the support team will be happy to help :)

@@instruo ah thanks! I updated with 2.0 and it worked. thanks! I ll get the usb thingy from a friend.

@@faruambient Any USB drive can be used. The modules ship with a black 4GB drive which will work for applying the update.

Yep I use the cuïr for balanced outs. It gives a bit of extra headroom at line level and can provide some improvements through common mode rejection of system noise. When producing my own videos I record audio into a zoom F6 which generates timecode linked to my camera(s) to give me ease of sync between the audio and video. The F6 is a 32bit recorder so it captures the signal at whatever level without requiring much concern of gain staging (I’m still getting used to this wizardry!). I will typically apply a basic mastering pass to the edited audio stems after side chain compression is applied which will duck the synth tracks against my voice over. Whatever setup is used, optimised gain staging is critical, especially where Eurorack is utilised.

@@instruo oh awesome thanks for letting me know this. I didn’t know the f6 did this thats pretty sweet. Gain staging is a must i completely agree. I figured you would be using plugins to polish up your stems like compressors/eq, etc…

@@joeymc5272 only the minimal amount of processing to balance levels/dynamics with the voice over, and then a basic compression and limit on the master bus to reign in any extremes for mix down. I set up an Ableton template years ago for: close mic, room mic, synth tracks. The only time I micromanage is cleanup of voice over and to reign in any synth sections that are pure tone demonstrations of oscillators and the like. Which is less of a musical context. Even on more fleshed out musical patches I tend to patch with dynamics in part of the patch so it’s only ever a stereo stem from the synth.

Oh ok that makes sense well thank you for this. Sounds great. Im still newer to recording so getting those loud clear separated sounds tends to get a little difficult for me without really processing in daw/ableton

The update is a considerable upgrade! ☺️ Can recommend!

Not any time soon. But other less cpu intensive designs will continue to be added. Both Arbhar and Lubadh are running on their own dedicated quad core processors. Porting would be one of the hurdles, but then the cpu requirements would be orders of magnitude over other modules. In terms of software alternatives, I would point people towards Ableton :)

The KO2 has a clock input so it’s very easy to sync, but in the vid I’m just hitting play in time.

@@TheUnperson cool, thanks for that, so you could clock it with Pam than no worries?
