      It's not an easy feat to mimick the Sherman in Eurorack, it is truly unique. In my Eurorack setup I'm missing a great sounding distortion/pre-amp uf I want to get close. The VCF-4 does provide that filter sound of the switched capacitor sound chip well, however, which not many Eurorack filter can do!

    Great tutorial! That randomized patch is super psychedelic. Nice work. I own the Voltage Lab 2 which I have come to love so much that I am reconsidering the Tiaga as an addition to fill in some of the missing pieces within the VL2 such as simple ADSR envelopes, Hi pass/Bandpass Filters, and sync jack inputs. I love how large the filter knob is and how much space is around that knob to get performative with it The shape knobs are also nice in that respect. A well throughout layout by Pittsburgh - much better than many other semi modular synths and modules. I would personally hesitate to include the phrase "subtractive synth" to describe this synth due to the fact that at least 50% of its features are not typical subtractive/east coast features. Three wavefolders and a lowpass gate, combined with the subtractive filter makes it a well rounded synth. It is a shame that it doesn't have cv over envelopes or the lfo rate and that the envelope times are hard to have fine control over. Pretty important stuff. I do find that the course tune on the voltage Lab 2 is a bit too sensitive. I wish that all modern oscillators had a lock-in-place button like the frap tools brenso to avoid accidentally knocking it out of tune.

    An all-round great tutorial! Looking forward to more. Your delivery is awesome. Your patch diagrams are easy to read, I like how they appear either next to or overlaid the camera view. And also, its so refreshing to hear the patch in the context of music that is well produced and mixed. That seems to be very rare in the EuroTuber scene. I would love to see more XAOC, FRAP TOOLS, & JORNALOGUE.

  • @NoahLifMusic

    Great video, I like the way you go through things quickly yet in detail. I had a Quadigy and while I loved its functionality I found it to be too fiddly for how I like to work, and I ended up with a Quadrax for my workhorse 4-channel AR/ASR/LFO needs. There's just so much it can do and I found it quite easy to get around once I got used to a few button combos. CV routing is a little wonky and I wish it had more CV ins, but it's so good I'm considering another. Zadar is simply too menu-based and fiddly for what I like with modular (tried it at Perfect Circuit a while back).

  • @Pspiralifemusicandedu
    @Pspiralifemusicandedu 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like your style of tutorial/overview. The diagrams really speak to me better than other TH-camrs doing Eurorack. I really appreciate the comparison of these modules. Often i am comparing several modules to make the best choice for my needs, and you have just made it very easy to do some of that reserach, Thanks and keep it up!!

  • @ElectricWound
    @ElectricWound 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The Zadar can realtime warp each waveform along time and amplitude, mirror along the time axis and you can freely adjust the timing from audio rate to half an hour. Also you can freely adjust the amplitude from 0 to 10V. And with the NIN expander you have CV control over 2 parameters per channel (while I seldomly use more than one). It is unquestionably less direct than the other modules. Its handling can be a little tedious, but it is intuitive nonetheless and it provides by far the most variety and most complex waveshapes in all frequency ranges, especially when you use cross-modulation. I think, it is the best envelope generator for complex sound design, generative patches and ambient pads. I also have the Quadigy, but I confess, I haven't ever considered CVing it, yet. It is my go to ADSR+ envelope. I should spend more time on making use of more of its features. The Quadrax sounds very interesting, but I'm good with what I have.

    • @TheSoundConvergence
      @TheSoundConvergence 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for sharing! I agree that the Zadar is capable of the most complex waveshapes and the most extreme time intervals, whereas the other two modules are more straightforward but also more limited. Kinda fun that they each carve out their own ideal use-cases!

    Good video. Whilst its correct that you cant use a keyboard with the base Nerdseq, you can use one to speed up workflow with the multi-io expander. This also gives an encoder for faster input and allows you to use a Launchpad for on the fly pattern launching! So cool.

    • @TheSoundConvergence

      It's the relatively new USB expander by Instruo! It is now part of every Arbhar you buy (marketed Arbhar 2.0) or can be bought separately for 100€-ish. All it does is it makes the USB input from the back of the Arbhar available on the front, for easy sample swapping via USB stick.

    • @TheSoundConvergence
      @TheSoundConvergence 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I normally use the Quadigy for exponentially-shaped ADSR curves in all of my subtractive synthesis patches. I tend not to use it clocked but only because I have the ModMedusa, PNW, or Performer for beat-synced envelopes. That being said, I like the Quadigy a lot for sidechaining hihats or bass as the Quadigy has more control over the exact envelope shape compared to the other 3.

    • @TheSoundConvergence
      @TheSoundConvergence 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, let me paste this message directly from Doepfer: "The module is a copy of the filter used in the EDP Wasp synthesizer which "abuses" digital inverters (CD4069) as operational amplifiers. The disadvantage of this circuitry is that the inverters die now and then. The only solution would be to replace the inverters by standard operational amplifiers but then special character of the Wasp filter would be lost. It's impossible to predict if or when the CD4069 will die and of course we test each A-124 carefully before it leaves the factory. There are A-124 which work flawless since over 10 years, others become defective after weeks, months or years. Fortunately the CD4069 is a very inexpensive standard part (should be US$ 0.5 or less). The circuit is plugged into a socket and can be easily replaced by the customer if required." So it will break some day and can be replaced. I also know some producers preferring the broken Wasp sound to the functioning one (altough I have not heard it myself yet).

      Yeah i can totally understand that! It's definitely one of my least used modules due how specific the use cases are. But it ends up in every feedback loop I patch up, which makes it worthwhile for me.
