@@aubrey5495 yeah the sequencer can go pretty fast and make cool Drones, bringing it down to a groove is fun!

@@matthewtunnicliffe201 thanks dude, this was my first day with this synth and I found it to be a very wonderful piece of gear for sound exploration. I don’t have it anymore but sometimes get the feeling like I’d love to jam it again, there’s nothing else quite like it.

Thanks dude and nice to see you here again!

@@streetdoghanoi It's been too long brother!

Totally agree, far too easy to waste money when getting into hardware, especially eurorack. It's probably the most niche version of an already very niche hobby!

Thanks dude it was fun getting this system together!

@@GGTBB I'm wondering the same thing. I'd love to take some mushrooms and do what he did in that video.

Wow man this is a big question and I'll do my best to answer properly. Ok so I've been into hardware for about 3-4 years but the eurorack thing only for the last 3 months or so. I avoided eurorack for a long time as its just a very niche and expensive space if you dont know what you're doing. See, you can build anything in this format but is it worth it? I've got $20 apps on my iPad that wipe the floor with $600 eurorack modules (mostly talking about granular synth stuff here) so there's some things I don't think I'll try to do in this format. Also, there's a lot of cool modules out there and the whole thing is very moreish, month after month you'll buy more and eventually realize you got a kinda limited system that costs more than a high end synth. So why did I go there now? Because I found an really cheap and complete setup on the local marketplace for about $300 that was perfect to get me started (and I just kinda like hardware). This was a good test for me to see if I clicked with eurorack. Next I asked myself what do I want from it? See, if you dont have a plan then you're going to buy things you dont need and that's a very expensive route in this format. The way I normally make music is with only one or two pieces of gear but what I mostly "jam" is the fx I apply to my system. I wanted a system that would let me continue to make music in the workflow I'm comfortable with. Based on this I needed a system that had good utility, rack space enough for one voice that was dynamic enough to be enough to carry a whole track and all the fx that I normally used previously in software. Even without eurorack, hardware music production is costly and this actually got me into some good habits like always buying used so I can get my investment back later, doing gear swaps, keeping a gear in / gear out rule, stuff like that. This enabled me to try a lot of stuff and gave me a good understanding of how synths, sequencers and drum machines work. Next I go to my favourite music production platform which is IOS and on my iPad I use an app called Drambo and start building some synths and fx chains. After that, feeling ready to make a system for real I then go to a website called Modular Grid. Modular Grid is great because you can make your rack there and it'll tell you how much space you need, what your system would cost (new) and what your power requirements are etc. In my case I had a faulty DFAM so I just stored the synth away for a rainy day repair project and decided to use the case for this setup. Using a DFAM case gave me a really useful limitation, size. IT's 60hp (horizontal pitch) and I set my system in Modular Grid to be that size. Then I started adding modules. I knew I needed a filter for example but that site let me state that it couldnt be more than 8hp as thats the space I had remaining. working this way made me really thing about what was going in the case and what I really did and didnt need. My last requirement of this setup was that I could chill and jam it anywhere, this meant I NEEDED reverb, a headphone jack and ideally be able to power it from a power bank. Also I have an amazing sequencer (Oxi One) but for this build I wanted something in the case that could do that job, turns out Pam's Pro Workout is an amazing sequencer as well as a clock source and waveform generator so that module is kinda like 4 modules in one. My last consideration was what else can all of these modules be used for ?I know later I want to make an end of chain performace fx box and all of these will fit nicely in that system. Once you have thought about all this stuff, created your own parameters you need to build within and are clear on your vision then go buy stuff! Also there's a free software called VCV Rack (MiRack on IOS), you can build setups there, patch them and hear how things will sound. Here's a link to my rack: modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2739176 Here's VCV rack: vcvrack.com/ Here's Drambo website: www.beepstreet.com/ios/drambo Hope all this helps you in some way and answers your questions, thanks for the listen dude!

@@Jt76542_ Thanks for the listen dude and check my answer to GGTBB :)

@streetdoghanoi thanks so much for the reply. I really appreciate it.

Beautiful music and thanks for the very informative post

@@Jt76542_ thanks dude, appreciate the listen and yeah it’s really nice building your own system with things specific to your vision. I avoided eurorack for a long time but I see its value now.

@@PumpedOnAcid such a nice combo right! I’m really feeling that brings module right now, just sounds so cool.

@@SequenceMode thanks for the kind words and it’s a great synth for sure, does need a little composition when setting up a jam but still gives you space for improvisation. It’s just really unique, I think you can totally just add reverb to this thing and lose a lot of time in it.

The Peak is in a league of its own, just so good!

Thanks for listening dude! ❤️

Hey dude it was more than likely from my iPad using an app called FAC Alteza. Glad you like the video dude!

Thanks dude, I was amazed it held the scale so well, great synth!

@@neilhartop1979 thanks dude, more to come!

@@RollectricSound you’re welcome and thanks for putting the bloom app on my radar, looks great! The mini 6 was definitely powerful enough, I upgraded to an M4 pro just because I had the chance but the mini was always enough, it’s more powerful than it looks.

@@remigiangolec7420 this jam was all of that, I really had no idea what I was doing as it was the second day I had this synth. Total sound exploration synth, really takes you to another place. I could never get a normal sound out of it, all my jams were like….this 😂

@@markzenk178 hey dude! The iPad mini 6 is great for music production and remember all these devices are is midi controllers so I don’t think a lot of processing in the iPad side is involved, all that happens on the device. The Oxi One and the Torso T-1 have some feature overlap but they are not the same in regard to workflow, both are very immediate once you know them. A key difference which will let you know which you prefer is muscle memory. The Torso wants you to just play it and remember it’s shift combos etc and once you get into that space with it you can develop a real state of flow, it’s really nice in that regard but you have to get to that level to feel it’s true value I think. Personally I love the Torso for this and miss having one. The Oxi One is amazing for me as a controller that generates melodic ideas that you can sculpt over time. It’s have the Euclidean features of the Torso but it does a lot more than that, it’s incredibly deep and for that will fit into more workflows I think. I find it very inspiring and I won’t be selling it. Know this though, both of these devices are serious RTFM devices, to really reap the benefit of their feature set you have to put the time in but they will reward you for doing so. I made a video a while back that was just torso plus iPad and the run up to that video was a pretty solid week of just learning and developing some muscle memory but yeah, once you’re over that then it’s very immediate.

@@3rdPersonProductions thank you and I love the iPad, it’s in everything I do musically pretty much, so powerful!

@@streetdoghanoi can you explain how do you use the ipad exactly in this modular dawless set up ? amazing work

@@Neoncrusader-oo1ij sure dude, I actually go much deeper into my iPad workflows in this mini-series I made: th-cam.com/play/PLHzgEbQwIjLdI63AWvRLZTzw6csS77g7Y.html&si=ocrHlF-ZANrNfdom In short I got modular to interface to iPad where I process the audio and record it. The videos will show you all though.

​@@streetdoghanoi thx a lot. great set up.

Thanks dude ❤

Merry Christmas mum! X

@@G0nz0uk thank you dude! Yes it’s fx and recording only. I’m using a delay called Other Desert Cities. That goes into FabFilter Saturn for some saturation. Then there’s an app called transit for performance multi fx but I didn’t use it much at all here. Lastly we go into a reverb called EOS2. Normally I’d add normal end of chain stuff like. Compressors and limiters etc but in this jam I didn’t want to squash the sound to much, preferred to let the level sit low and let it have room for movement.

@@Vishesche-Electronic thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it!

@@itsmaxmint thank you for listening dude! For what you want to do though I recommend just download koala sampler for your phone, it’s a great tool and very powerful.

@@streetdoghanoi Hey! Thank you for the recommendation. Koala is definitely 500 times cheaper to try out. So far experimenting with it was fun, even though I did not come up with anything recordable yet. Is there any other haptic instrument you would recommend to start with?

@@itsmaxmint well hardware samplers have different use cases I feel. I never liked the MPC software but their pads are the best out there in regards to feel. The Roland SP404mk2 is amazing for ambient stuff and has great fx and you can sample long passages of audio but the sequencer and workflow is not nice, too many updates lead to too many hidden features and button combos to access stuff. The Digitakt is the most fun and immediate but mostly it’s good for shorter one shot sampling, I love it though and the mk1 can be found used pretty reasonably priced. What you can do though is add a midi controller to your koala setup, I recommend getting a Novation Launchpad X, it’s great. Then you can just map pads via midi learn. It’s a lot about what style of music you want to make though and remember all these devices are digital, so using an iPad or iPhone is totally valid, you just want to build out from there with the right midi controller to give you a tactile interface.

@philaesfarewell thank you and subbing so I can check out your jams tonight ❤️
