I agree ! they are my favourite as well. Hall too at lower mix levels. What I like about the onboard FX too is that they will really react to whatever processing is after.
I bought a Prophet 5 (that was, always one of mein dream synths) i use for techno, always the chord memory, this is the ultimate function for me to make fresh techno grooves. I love my p5.
It is something special about Sequential synths. They sound massive. Im currently saving up to the OB-6. Don't know why I specifically want it, but this is the one, that I do know
Thanks for the inspiration to pull out my Rev2 again which I almost sold to discover, with a good sequencer, its worth integrating into my setup. For purposes of keeping everything in the same timing I'm using the Octatrack but with the velocity and 2nd and 3rd notes its giving me some dissonant sequences.
Great video, thanks! I have an OB6 for several month, found it really nice as a source material for resampling and transposing hard to get some more unusual sounds with good character
@@LucasMarchal After working with computers all day I can't bear to look at a screen - even for plugins. But the Hapax has been great for sequencing with my OB-6 - gets pretty close to what you have with the VST here.
@@a1o1 Hapax seems nice but It's big and quite expensive, not really worth it just for the OB6...The thing with sequencers though is it's hard to know if it's for you until you've tried them.
@@LucasMarchal oh man - yeah - hapax is controlling everything "non-Elektron" for me - so I can justify the expense - also I don't have the cost of the laptop/computer and upgrade hell to contend with there :)
Very interesting to see your workflow, thank you! Really appreciating your channel and your sense for techno music. I would love to see a more detailed video on how you are using the DFAM live. I absolutely love mine but I am never exactly sure how to use it in a controlled way live besides using it for my kick drums. Right now I am using a Drumlogue, a 303 and the DFAM in my setup but the DFAM still needs to find its final role somehow...
you have no idea how much I love your music and video (on instagram too)... its always great to have an inside of the process, especially with the OB-6 that you have been playing lately, for me the vocoder effect really take the sound to the next level, it make it sharper and more interesting somehow... will definetely experiment with that. later ! keep it up 🤘
thank you, appreciate it ! It's fun to try different FX, plug ins etc... processing is fun, and the OB6 is a beautiful tone to build upon. Doesn't hurt that it sounds great on its own too.
Yes ! After I found the sequencer I also saw you were a user ! what a wonderful bit of software. I keep it pretty simple but even then there are so many options for cool little grooves.
@@LucasMarchal I know 😊 I check your stuff on Instagram all the time. But Instagram as a platform is totally ephemeral. You might get less views here on TH-cam, but in the long run these will be the videos that people will still watch in years to come. I still regularly watch old stuff of yours on YT (and unlike Insta, it’s not a total pain in the ass to find the old stuff).
now the question..Ob6 or OB-teo5..waiting for reviews between this two great gears..Ive been watching this video more than 20 times.Very good combination with Moog dam ,RE909 and modular synth.Thanks a lot like always.
Lucas, I bought the Prophet 6 and ended up buying the Arturia Keystep pro to sequence it, very immediate and easy to use, great also with chords, the ARP works well too for techno melodies, but it's interesting to see this Stepic sequencer opposed to a hardware sequencer with the OB-6, P.S i bought the Sequence Selector from you off MG, its a great edition to the multistage. All the best!
great insight! Have to check that sequencer! Recently I sequenced my p6 with the digitone keys. Fun part is to send midi lfos to both filters and tweek the filter envelope amount. Should work on the ob6 too :). I think you are right, biggest difference are the different filters on both. But both sound like huge (techno maschines)! But the p6 envelopes are a bit clicky at fast attack. How is the ob6 with fast attacks on the amp attack?
Thanks for doing this! The OB6 wasn't really on my radar until I heard what you're doing with it, so it's nice to see how you're sequencing it. You mention two Elysia Qubes one the master, which ones are you using?
i saw you use the sequencer in the advent calender videos and was amazed. I tried it within Studio One but its not sending the notes to my synths for some reason. Really frustrating as you show again in this video how amazing the sequencer is! (and the ob6 ofcourse)
One of the best videos from You. I love it :) I have got a question regarding sync. When you are triggering OB-6 notes from steppic it's easy and usually is in the grid. How do You send clock to DFAM?
@LucasMarchal Me too but recording audio through SSL Big Six mixer I have 3 ms latency and I can feel the bass doesn't fit the groove so precise like making bass inside ableton.
Awesome video, thanks for a glimpse into your process. Have you tried the Squarp Hapax sequencer? It's the first hardware sequencer I actually like. It's very powerful yet really easy to use. No learning curve at all and very hands-on.
I've checked it but when i got the OB6 I wasn't ready to sink an additional 1K into a powerhouse sequencer... Maybe one day i'll try something hardware. Torso T1 seems interesting too.
Hi Lucas love you for doing online class with us :--). Would be sick if you could do a 909 Overstayer processing video one day. I have this very short spring reverb and it is adding a lot of good things to my lowend... Somehow it is very tight just Amazing room and sub bass and that goes into OTO Boom. I'll send you an Audio if you're interested.
Ah yes small reverb can really work well on the low end ! I've been running the 909 into the eclipse with good results too ! I'll try to do the 909 into overstayer soon :)
Salut Lucas, merci de partager ton travail. Le Dfam est il séquencé avec la même séquence que tu utilises pour L' Ob6 via le Stepic ? Reprends tu la même séquence ou utilises tu une nouvelle séquence dans la même gamme ? Je le trouve vraiment intéressant ce séquencer, je ne sais pas si l'on peut faire plusieurs séquences différentes en même temps comme avec L'Euclidean ? Merci
Hello, Je séquence uniquement le DFAM avec son propre sequencer, sans faire attention aux gammes ou quoi que ce soit; mais c'est une sequence différente du coup. Stepic ne peut séquencer qu'un seul instrument il me semble, mais rien n'empêche d'en ouvrir plusieurs dans ableton (je fais ça pour le Syncussion)
@@LucasMarchal Ok, merci pour ta réponse, je l'ai acheté ce week end grâce en parti à ta démo, c'est un super jouet créatif ! je l'ai signalé à Jens de Devicemeister ;) . Pour info, je me suis aperçu qu'il y a une octave de décalage sur le stepic, EX : la racine C3 correspond à C2 en vrai, ça va être corrigé dans la prochaine mise à jour, Enjoy !
They sound a bit different. The filters are really different. Not to say you can't make great bass sounds on the OB6, I just like the DFAM for this purpose.
the spring reberb + bbdelay are actually super great sounding on my opinion, use them all the time

jesus lord when the kick comes in that's a whole ass techno track made done and finished

Great video! For me it's one of the best videos out, because I really like your music and have a similar working style 👌
thank you, glad you found it helpful :)
I’m really enjoying sending triggers to the internal sequencer. Just load it up with notes or chords and play with rhythms. Great to see you are back.
never messed with the internal sequencer but I'm sure it's fun !
Great tutorial! Thanks!

I have the enveloppe attack mostly at minimum and never notice extreme clicks... I've heard the Rev2 can get clicky too.

@@ennobehrens2608 something with a blue screen ??
@@LucasMarchal and some really clicky buttons - we're not only doing this for us after all!
great vid, thanks
why use a plug in Sequencer rather than Anleton’s midi thing?
Great video on your process. Have you switched out the jomox for the 909 now?
Just got a dfam and loving it with my 909. Cheers
Thank you ! Haven't sold the Jomox yet, but probably will. DFAM and 909 is a killer combo !
Really good video. Please let me know witch screws you use for the modular? Thank you.
those are ALM thumb screws, quite handy !

which stand do you use for the mdlr? guitar stand?
yep a super basic K&M guitar stand
btw lucas, what stand do you use for your modular? or are you laying it to the wall?
Oh it’s a cheap guitar stand; I could find the reference but it’s one of the first that pop up on thomann ahah. It’s perfect for that use !
i like your music but before ob6 i liked it more🖤
some change is nice too ;)
You use ob6 in mono, one note only not in poly? Tnx
Look at the sequencer, I also enter chords.
Awesome stuff. Can I ask is that syncussion an original or a kit?
If so where did you get the kit?
I badly want one
It's a 1:1 replica from Michigan Synth Works with a few enhancements such as midi and separate outputs. They do DIY kits too.
@@LucasMarchal Ill have to check it out, I want one bad.. Can you do a video on it dude?
@@devondetroit2529 I might later yes !

time to get another one :)

They sound a bit different. The filters are really different. Not to say you can't make great bass sounds on the OB6, I just like the DFAM for this purpose.
@@LucasMarchal yeah i get the point.. also i agree that the sequencer of dfam is really fun for techno patterns

it does, nothing stops you from using it.
Trade the Alpha Base for the RE909?
Still have both :)
Hey. Did you sell your Alpha Base and bought 909?
I still have the Alphabase but I've mostly been using the RE909 since I got it
