Join me as I "Walk The Path" learning the fascinating world of Eurorack/Modular synthesis as well as other music-related content including reviews, tutorials, walkthrus, live performances and original music!
I have been an electronic musician since 1982 (that's right kids, 40+ years!) and have been involved with numerous rock bands and music projects throughout my career - if you can call it that. I was there when the Juno-60 was born and became Legendary. I saw the dawn of (affordable) home computers and computer-based sequencing and digital recording. Man, I'm old.

YouTube Offers OPT-OUT of AI Training on our Content!
มุมมอง 461วันที่ผ่านมา
This was a shocking reveal today, signing into my TH-cam Studio App to see an option to Opt-Out of allowing 3rd-party AI to "train on my channel content". I think this is HUGE, though admittedly I did not do a ton of research behind the decision to see why this is an option... maybe there's some legal thing that went down. Either way, I am excited about an entity the size of TH-cam/Google offer...

Sonic Experiments - This Song Has No Title (More Early Modular Jams)
มุมมอง 246หลายเดือนก่อน
This is something I recorded in September 2021 using almost every module I had at the time. I have no idea how I patched this, so I cannot do patch notes nor recreate it, but I thought some of the randomness sounded pretty cool. Again, just trying to appease the Algorithm, who is hinting I upload something. So this is what you get, until life stops being so busy. Soon, I hope. As always, thank ...

nice jam! you sold back the Disting NT? cheers
WoW! That’s the Tops.
Thank you for a rookie easy video! Im gonna by this for my Keystep pro as well as a quad VCA and Quad ADSR. Cant wait to route midi signals from my DAW to the Keystep pro and see how it works, or play from a 88 keyboard thru keystep to all 4 VCO´s or just use this A-11-4 as a single fat Oscillator. :) Cheers
Big youtube win that this is disabled by default, too many companies just opt all their users into AI
I accidentally clicked on this while watching an unrelated (well, still modular, lol) video. I'm getting this module next week and am thrilled to have another great tutorial to go through.
🤣 Thank you for accidentally clicking! 🤣 I think you will love Monsoon. Great little module, while not being super complex.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I messed up and bought the ALA Cumulus because I thought it was the same except for knobs instead of sliders, but now I know that I'll be missing the 4 additional CV. Oh well. I'm sure I'll still have a blast with it.
Thank you sir!
Can’t wait ❤
Hey, Season 4, Yeah!
Maybe buy a quantiser next?
Is it safe to opt-in? Will it affect our privacy?
I am no Privacy expert, but I assume because our Public content can be seen by anyone, there is no real Privacy to speak of there. I do not think allowing this will expose your personally identifiable information in any way (at least not beyond what Google shares with the world anyway :-) )
Since mine was unticked by default: That would make it OPT-IN and not OPT-OUT. Perhaps yours was the reverse?
Yeah, un-checked by default means you do NOT allow permission to train on your content. At least that's my understanding of the language on the screen.
how do i do this on mobile
I do not see this option in TH-cam Studio/Mobile yet.
@ damn
Go on youtube creator on google and click the bar that say login. It logs you into a window like a computer. It will show
For some reason, I don't see the subcategory "Third-party training" amongst the advanced settings yet. Am I the only one who experiences this so far?
Nah, I have the same thing. Kinda hoping it might just be a delay with it rolling out for everyone
Good question. Probably the global rollout taking time as usual. I also realize I do not see the option in the Mobile app (TH-cam Studio) though I rarely use mobile for anything.
Thank you for the video! I just saw it as well this morning and well finally we have some type of control over that. For now we don’t know what it really means since our information has been sold for years, but I hope it is a beginning of something 🎉
Any thoughts on this? Is this inspired by some legal activity? Is this a thing other content-related sites are doing? I'd be interested in your thoughts, or if this affects you in any way. Thanks for watching!
As a content creator, do we benefit anything by giving them permission to use our content to train AI models??
@@ShlokaEchoes no, and it actively harms you and your content because its essentially stealing your video and sending it to a machine to "learn" how to replicate it.
These sound scapes are really nice and dark! Absolutely enjoying that performance and btw. I learned a lot by watching your videos during the last 12 months. Thank you so much for producing all that nice content 👍❤️
Adding myself to this comment. Thank you for your content, it helped me a lot in my modular journey I started months ago
Thank you both so much! ❣ That means a lot to hear.
I learned so much. Thank you for making this.
Thanks for making this video. You are right, this process is arduous to be kind.
I want to try the Python script approach for my next firmware upgrade. Thankfully, Expert Sleepers is churning out the updates for us!
What is the voltage out of the channels and if the voltage value can be changed in general settings?
I think it depends on what app is running on the channel. Check out the documentation here: github-wiki-see.page/m/mxmxmx/temps_utile-/wiki/using-temps_utile
Great video !
digging the FFJT!
enjoying your foray into harmony!
You mean, like Zen? Harmony with the Universe, and stuff? 🤣
it took me years to get around to filters - can’t get enough now!
lovely conclusion!
I'm a little confused. Did you get one of each of the modules,or did you get multiple of the same modules?
A little of both. See the Description, there's a list of Specs of what each module is. Thanks for watching!
15:41 Ah, beautiful Plates. . . .
the last piece is thought-provoking
that reverb . . . . . . . . .
Nothing like a light splash of reverb, I say.
Thanks for doing this and being so open about your noobness! A lot of us ARE noobs. Like you I really wanted to get a System 100 system and have just ordered my first four modules, so this video has been really helpful.
I enjoyed your modular journey so much that it's nice to hear from you again!
Вырубай
double blipyban then!
I think Behringer adjusted some things in the production meanwhile. My power cord is much longer, I don’t have the spacing problems. Bought mine half a year ago. Hope that helps 😊 Very nice video! Thank you!
Hi! Thank you for watching. I recently purchased my 2nd GO case, and it's pretty much the same as the first. In fact the top gaps are a bit more dramatic, even. Not a thing I'll lose sleep over, it's a great case regardless of my OCD :-)
Update: I just now got around to using both of my GO cases, and you're correct that the power chord is indeed much longer! I hadn't noticed because I was using my old power brick until just now 🙂
@@VisionsMusicGroup BTW, the best cure for OCD is looking at a picture of the „Monk“ DVD box sometimes. How the hell can somebody do this to people 😂😂😂 Nooooooo 🙈🙈🙈
Hello, How to do it for vc1+vc3 stereo and vc2 mono and vc4 mono please?
Hi! I have not tried this myself, but looking at the jumper guide, try this: JP4 in upper position (VCA2 controlled by CV2 - mono) JP5 in lower position (VCA3 controlled by CV1 - stereo) JP6 in upper position (VCA4 controlled by CV4 - mono) JP7 removed
@@VisionsMusicGroup I'll try! thanks!
Couple of dream machine tips for getting initiated into the dark arts of just intonation… use the transpose control rather than fundamental to tune it to a particular key to start with. I’d leave the primes at their defaults initially and then really get your head around what numerators and denominators do to each voice. Keep to small numbers for both initially to explore more familiar intervals (or rather their shiny justly intoned versions!). Then for further exploration, employ a bit of cross fade and frequency slew to get all gloopy. I actually quite like have a very very short cross fade and very quick slew and use the numerator control to play little melodies up and down like something out of early Terry Riley. Works great into a delay (or even better, the Kirbinator ;-)
Thank you, Simon! And thank you for Kirbinator! ❣
I think it's really interesting to look back at our earlier work. This piece definitely has some redeeming features.. 😊
Whoa, noticed the albums, part 1-5 . . . will check them out!
This is the pinnacle; you completed your modular journey 3 years ago. Everything else is extra credit.
🤣 My work here is done.
I recommend listening with headphones. Very cool!
Not sure even headphones will help this one, brozensky.
Hello, my module only goes up to A#2, even after I removed the JP8 in the back. Is there something else that needs to happen?
Hello. Turn the "BAL" pot all the way to the left (CCW) and I can get A#3 with the octave switch +1. I think that's as high as it gets, until you add v/Oct CV (pitches). Hope this helps.
lovely story! I'm lucky to have you share it with me.
NT has taken over my modular life! are you on the Expert Sleepers discord? I shared my monster drone preset consisting of two Dream Machines, one Granulator and one Kerbinator Dream Machine takes some cracking but once you have it sussed it is a super drone maker cheers, andy 🙂 oh, I should mention that Dream Machine really comes alive when you start exploring all the various wavetables and using LFO, either internal or external, to scan the wavetable position
Thank you for sharing your preset. I did "attempt" to use an LFO to scan the wavetable, but in editing I realized I used the same Aux 1 someone else was using, so it didn't turn out so great 🙂
20:00 sounds great! BELGRAD!
enjoying your channel - love the way that modular has expanded beyond all reason or control. The beginning: Behringer System 100 isn't available, so I'll buy 150 other things The end of the beginning: and the System 100 The beginning of the middle: and a grand piano The middle of the middle: and a synth voice so I don't have to use any of my modulars Delightful!
🤣 Definitely a great recap 🤣 but I will always need that grand piano 💓 btw, what you see here is only about 10% of what I actually do. Be thankful I do not have the free time to upload it all 😁
0:26 that’s 2 years ago!
I never think of some of these sonic experiments that you do - cool!
This entire channel is "an experiment" :-)
9:17 I don't have a cat
these multi-function utility computer modules don’t float my boat
Logic AND deterministic OR stochastic probability is what makes Modular so darn fun. (seewhatIdidthere)
jesus, mary and joseph you bought a theramin!
🥺 Yeah, you'll find I've made many mistakes along this journey.
excited to see the AJH minimod!
Me too!!!!
I'm looking for a module that I can load Ableton Live into, with a screen at least an inch wide.

terrible quality on Castor & Pollux
Hardware-wise, it was surprising. The sound of the module itself (aside from my half-ass demo) is really nice though.
nice to see my old pal, System 8
