Great Demo ! Thanks !

Thank you for this video. It reminded me of why I didn't get Xer Mixa at first. Considering yet again how to upgrade from my Qu-Bit Mixology, my first and only eurorack main audio mixer since 2018, today I chose Boredbrain Xcelon. For me, as someone who comes from the 'last third of the 20th century' era of standards for studio audio mixers, my ideal for a modular synth audio mixer is based on two elements: physical immediacy and CV control. That will always result in massively multiplexed physical controls and indicators. Physical immediacy includes one-to-one mapping of functionality to hardware interface and in-place indication of state, both of which you commented on. CV control is what makes a modular synth main audio mixer... well, modular. Qu-Bit Mixology has both of those elements, but its small size and well-spaced layout precludes it also having other features, such as multiple returns. Cosmotronic Cosmix has the first element, but lacks CV control; except for CV over its two stereo channels' panning, it has none. Boredbrain Xcelon has it all. It even has per-channel peak indicators. The only penalty is its size. After seven years of doing more with less, I am ready to allocate more space for my audio mixer. Now I will be unstoppable. 🙂 Thanks again!

Great video! Loved the little freestyle! Wait, I just realized you don't have a 1U row, but instead use a converter. Am I correct??

Thanks for vid polycinmatic is my flavour this month .

I just ordered one because I want something that can sequence my modular stuff without having to use MIDI. I freaking hate MIDI with the burning passion of a thousand dying suns. So yeah I would have liked to have seen the MIDI jacks replaced with more CV outputs, but as it stands now, the RS-9 looks like it's exactly what I need. I ordered a Cre8audio NiftyCase just to power it and the case cost more than the RS-9, but I will have 32HP to spare for that Modbap Trinity I've been eyeing. But before I go all in on that, using the RS-9 to sequence it, I want to see how the RS-9 does with my Edge and Neutron. Fingers crossed I made the right choice.

For me, I don’t care whether an instrument/module is digital or analog. As long as it sounds good and does the job then it’s worth it. Neither is ‘better’ - it’s purely subjective

Sweet jam 🔥

Can you have it as stand alone like the beatstep pro , might be awesome with pulsar 23

Nice organic hypnosis sir👌🏻

Great, terse explanations. Your voice accent and inflection are lovely.

Thanks for a good demonstration. Sounds ok. It's stupidly expensive for what it is. The first Erica module that I don't love.

I wanted to like this so much since synthesized strings are my favourite sound. But I just don't like it at all. I made a string emulation in Vital that I much prefer for it's warmer timbre and nicer tone. I also wanted to like the Waldorf Streichfett but passed on that one too. I guess i don't like retro sounds as much as I think I will.

Best/better is subjective. I ignore Black Friday, it’s meaningless to me. Play with your modular, when there is something you cannot do which you want to do, then you know what to get next.

Did you keep it? I'm about to replace mine now as it has gone in and out of my two cases many times. I feel I gave it to many chances. Same with Bloom. Not saying that Qu-Bit doesn't make good modules, like the Data Bender is very popular, but these two are the only ones I have from Qu-Bit and I won't buy any more from Qu-Bit as those two doesn't work for me.

what is the octave range?

It is pretty big (52hp), I’ll have to get another 82hp rack and willfully force myself to fill the other 30 with modules to compliment the rs-9. Be ready to spare some elbow room for yer space 🫳🏿

Great tutorial, thanks for helping to understand the workflow. I’m loving the rs-9 so far, this is worlds away from the clock divider action I was trying to make a simple beat before with. Everyone needs to experience the 15:40 roller lol

Niiice!

No. Two of the cats are my cats 0:30

I chose the same faceplate option 😍

Fantastic demo video! So glad you're into it!

Great feature! Mine sounds great.

Thanks for the video. This module looks great. A welcoming different style of design 😇 I wish there were CV inputs for the controls though. Kinda defeats the idea of modular in my opinion. Maybe a mk2 version with CV inputs and it'll be an insta-buy?

Love hive mind synthesis, the guy that runs it is fantastic

It sounds nice!

The lack of CV control puts me off somewhat

Have you ever used any of the other M4TM/Hive Mind Synthesis modules?? Do you like this for hi-hats more so than say Prok HH or 2hp Hats??

Still on my wishlist 🎉

Can be used as MIDI in clock and CV clock out?

This guy talks just like the guy from bag gear 🤣

Great video Thanks. Your Swede to English is great 👋

I got this mainly because it has all the trigger outputs, I still prefer the Erika Synths black sequencer as there is quite a bit more depth to it than this, but unless I get a second it is limited by the outputs, especially if using it both as a note and trigger sequencer. The behringer here is like the beer and pretzel sequencer and Erika Synths for complexity when needed, but it too at its basic level is easy to get started on.

Thank you for taking the time to record and post this. I appreciate your clear speaking and the pace of your illustration. I found this informative and helpful.

Appreciate this video..only one actually demonstrating its range and sound. Nothing beats Sine imho for bass but the wavefolding option provides room to deviate if needed. Thanks

Found your video that captures some of my recent thoughts. I am new to the modular scene and as I am building my kit I am facing similar design decisions. The feature packed digital modules sound appealing but you need a decoder ring on how to use them, especially when they dont even have a little screen. Also I am over 50 and honestly reading little screens in the dark is not getting any easier. I do strive to build a portable rig for events, even though i mostly use it at home. So I want to have as much capability as possible in modular form factor. SO back to what mixer should I get ? the Cosmix is an interesting alternative.

Can you send notes for bass for example from triggers 6-10?

Everyone else hates this. I hate that I missed the sale when it was $59. I'd have bought two. They've since been discontinued; I got one of the last new ones and I couldn't be happier. Going into an industrial/percussion rack. You absolutely were the one who sold me on this one.

Cool little modules! Not perfect, but at that price, no complaints 👍

Yeah, totally agree. I’ve just picked up a boredbrain excelon. The menu diving on the NE mixer was a bit of a turn off for me. Not going to lie, the excelon hurt my bank balance a little this month, and arguably it’s less featured than the xer mixer, however the simplicity of the design just gives me a little bit more confidence. And don’t talk to me about firmware updates either. You can have a module that is perfect, apart from one bug. Update the firmware to fix the bug, and the behaviour of the good stuff suddenly is less good. Annoys me no end! Disagree with you on the compressor though. I’ve just bought a third one haha. I’m not using a daw, so that’s probably why! One thing I am lacking is some EQ though. I’ve just been making do with filters as a poor man’s EQ, but would love to add a proper EQ over a couple of channels though. That’s a problem for my future bank balance to solve right now! Hahah

really helpful thank you

For me and my hybrid setup this is probably the perfect solution, I use an MPC for sample drums and to cover some extra voices and other modular stuff im missing, but ive never enjoyed programming drums on it. my mpc also still does too much This means i can program on the RS9 and record midi into the MPC for future sessions and should make it easy enough to swap between sampled and analog drums, just need to finish soldering my drum modules

💙

Does the RS-9 send accents through 5 pin MIDI OUT? Or is it just midi notes and sync? Thanks

Shuper review of Solina! Thanks! Like, and suscribe.

Personnaly i would like more CV output, at least 2! Very often you will find drums modules with CV in

without wading thru whole 27min video... is there any reason i need one of these when i have the BeatStepPro? does it do anything extra apart from 2more triggers?

Thing is so big

I think the accents are weird (level control and only one global accent track ?!). I was expecting equal triggers on the ACC and TRIG outputs and the ability to set accent patterns per track. If you compare the manuals of RD-9 and RD-8, the sequencer is more like RD-8. Otherwise the RS-9 is fun.

Can this control a rompler if you don't want to go the modular route? Looking to sequence multiple voices off one device via midi

I'm too stupid to operate the module (the manual is a joke) and I returned it after one day, so Thomann should soon have a return available for purchase.
