What's this?? A tutorial from Lightbath?!? Never clicked so fast in my life! 😍
Haha! Thanks, man!
Me too ... cheers, love your videos 🙂
woah... so unexpected! that was beautiful. ben does divmas, you're letting us into your thought process... i love this community. 🙏
What a journey. Love how you explain everything at a gentle pace, not skipping any details or tricks out. This taught me very much in my own workflow. Awesome final too. Thanks for sharing.
Great piece, great walkthrough, great editing... More of this please! 👏
That was delightfully entertaining! Love hearing about your creative thought-process! Thanks, man!
this video makes me want to buy so many more modules! looking forward to learning more from you and seeing how i can blend tape loops and modular equipment into ambient bliss. seriously great first video man!
Randall! Thank you, man!
This is on a whole other level, loved hearing you talk about your process.
This is awesome you and rbeny I swear it!!
Such a brilliant video on so many levels... really impressive.
Super beautiful. Thank you for making those sounds.
Make more of these!!!! Awesome video dude!
Sweet! Would actually love to see more of you than the modular spaghetti mess.
Yes! Thank you. That's the same feedback I got from a filmmaker friend. I'll be setting up my iPhone as a b-cam on my face for the next Lightbath Zone video!
Great video, very informative and a gorgeous piece of audio.
Awesome - great video (and music, as always) really inspiring!
This is incredibly helpful and very inspiring for a new modular adventurer like myself. Really appreciate the crazy amount of time and effort that went into this. Your video inspired the bass in my latest (only my second attempt at a modular piece) patch/video, by just keeping it really simple. I'm not suggesting your patch for Holding a Feather is at all, it's very complex, but the way you broke it all down and explained each voice really opened my eyes and I actually understood how each part in isolation works. Thank you, and I look forward to more in the future!
Awesome. Happy to help!
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this 🔥
🤗
Very nice initiative ! Thank you !
Thanks, this is the best video on youtube for this year!
I want to live in the Lightbath Zone. It's a beautiful Zone.
🌟
Fantastic work, beautiful sounds and a generous spirit in offering insight into your thought processes, keep it up😀
This is quality content!! I fucking love it!
Thank You!
Hi lightbath, congratulations on putting full energy into your dream!! Best luck! Very impressed when you started talking about lidian scale and fourths, not only sounds and textures. Keep them coming please!!! Thank you
Beautiful process! Super interesting : - )
Lightbath bro dude man dude bro. Welcome, and thank you for doing this, I hope there is a lot more to come. You helped me with my rack.
bro dude man dude bro ... yo ... lol
Wow man...absolutely amazing video.
Subbed instantly. Congratulations
This is very inspiring for me!
Really well put together and useful.
Thanks for this. Your music is inspiring, so to have verbal patch notes is awesome!
Nice. Verbal patch notes. That's totally it. Verbal patch notes, plus insight.
Very nice explanation of a wonderful piece of music :)
As someone new to modular this is amazing and so insightful. Thanks so much for sharing and giving us a look into your process, looking forward to future videos!
And thank you for supporting on Patreon, Anthony! I look forward to sharing more bonus stuff on there with you all.
Really cool and interesting, thanks!
As if this channel couldn't get any better. Incredible stuff man. Very inspiring setup.
💚
Wow...thank you for sharing your thought process and methods! Would like to see more of these instructional vids. Important for grasping modular synthesis. Happy holidays!
Thank you. I’ll surely be making more!
awesome mate.
Fun stuff!
wow! it was like a zen meditation! fantastic video, so pleasant voice timbre and nice explanation. thank you very much! by the way, it seems I really underestimated the cool sound of STO!
Awesome video, thanks a lot :)
Thanks! really enjoyed going through the process!
Amazing! Thank you :)
Great patch... great explanation.. enjoyed it. peace.
Hell yes. This is great
Very nice!!! 👍
Bravo my dude
Thank you for this. Being new to the Eurorack world, my biggest challenge is approaching performance. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes I feel stuck. This is both inspirational and instructional.
super cool
The Eurorack community is getting even more interesting/ed. I hope more artists will follow this example! :)
Nice work dude I already own a Chronoblob and love it but this video made me really want a T Wrex
Keep em coming man : )
Thank you! I'll be sad if more videos don't come haha
Ha. That's the idea. I surely plan to make more. And that's also why I launched the Patreon - this one was so much more work than any musical piece I've done. But it was definitely fun.
Love this video, very engaging way to walk through your patch/piece. For the next one, I'd love to be able to see a bit more of the synth, like a shot from above or something like that?
Thanks. Yeah, see the similar comment below for my response to the top angle. It's a bit more complicated than it seems to shoot a 12U from above and have it look good. A 6U, though is a different story.
brilliant.
I really love your music and your philosophy. The modular you created and knowing how to use it to get these results blows my mind. Awesome! I've just been toying with getting into modular ... if I could something a fraction as nice with only a 6u 104hp machine that would be amazing. I keep looking at plonk and the rainmaker. In the past it was rings.
Thanks. All three of those modules are great. Rings is probably my favorite. Having 4 notes that can overlap makes for such a nice sound. And Rainmaker is great, but maybe not a place to start. Don’t underestimate Clouds (or a micro-Clouds) - especially with the Parasites alternate firmware - to get some nice reverb/delay/granular stuff.
If you’re ever interested in a group conversation about this sort of stuff, I’ll be holding a monthly Google Hangout as part of my Patreon offerings: patreon.com/lightbath. And I think r beny is going to guest on the first one this January :)
thx man
nice video :)
Bravo.
cool to see you look for the "planetary alignment " :) that's what I do too but I'm less successful at it :)
all the feels
🤗
Good call on that little "Money for Nothing" blip. It really did sound like it.
🎸⚡️
Yassssss!
You among several others have demonstrated how to compose a coherent piece with Eurorack. Other than bleeps and bloops.
gooooooooood～～～～～
This is an awesome video for when I want to see a guy poke a bunch of patch cables and I can pretend I can WTH he's doing.

Wonder about your vision about the Rainmaker vs Dual looping Delay.I see you have DLD in some of your cases. But in your latest case you only use the Rainmaker. I'm about to buy a Rainmaker but don't know if i should also hold on to the DLD... any suggestions? Thanks in advance
I’ve kept my DLD. I absolutely love how clean it is and it’s so great for rhythmic stuff. I look forward to using it more when there’s room in my case. I’m just currently experimenting with the Rainmaker.
Dude, have you spent a lot of time in front of a camera, and editing video? If not your ease, and the fluid editing on what appears to be your first such production. are nothing short of amazing. I’ve been doing TH-cam vids (mostly film photography) for a long time and I’m still not that good. Excellent work all around (yeah, the patch ain’t bad either ;-))..
Thank you. This is great encouragement! This was my first. I've done a small amount of editing, but never anything near this. Most of my practice has been making the modular pieces which only require lighting and framing. Editing in a NLE (that's not a DAW) is still very new to me. And this was definitely my first time in front of the camera. Truthfully it took me nearly 100 hours to produce both of these videos. I hope to get more efficient as I go because 100 hours is just not sustainable if I want to keep up a weekly/bi-monthly sort of schedule. Looking forward to making more!
Ah, but I will say that I've taught music lessons for more than a decade so I do have lots of practice talking about the creative process 🤗
I've been doing vids for years now, for much of that time admittedly at a pretty low/average level of production quality. But I have been improving of late. My photography productions, as they moved outdoors and became more complex, took much more time and it started to feel less sustainable, because all that work doesn't really lead to more views. My synth videos, which is a more recent passion, are much easier to produce, and *also* bring in few views, so there's that :-). Anyway, it's being interesting and creating a rapport with your viewers that does that, IMO. But you still have to compete, at least a little, in production.
All that said, again I'm truly blown away how you got so many things nailed right out the gate: sound, light, exposure, script, edits. Just freaking amazing. And yes, people generally don't realize that production takes 5-25x the length of the final product.
If I can help in any way, I will (though you seem to "be there" already, IMO). Contact me via private messaging here, if you like.
Thank you, Mike! As I try new things maybe I could use a second opinion on an edit before it's finalized. I know in this one, I almost pruned it heavily because it was so long, but in the end I decided to keep all the sidetracks and anecdotes, which, although they add to the overall time, I think they also add to the fun. I could be wrong, though. Maybe a shorter video would perform better. Only time and experimentation will tell.
Generally, the "pruning" approach is right, though sometimes painful. However, if the content supports the length there is no issue. I didn't find the video to feel overlong at all.
Where can I send you a photo of my cat?
Seriously great video! Really helpful tutorial. I'm slowly getting into generative patches so this is an amazing ressource. Thank you!
Ha! Actually, cat photos go here: bit.ly/gimme-cats
14:25 is magical
Fucking beautiful
I like your golden ratio tattoo
Man you look a lot like my late Dad! Freaks me out. And I love your music!
Wow, nice. And thanks. If you feel like it, send me a PM. I have a question for you.
I sent a PM about your question?
Any more info on the upcoming "foundational videos" and more Lightbath tutorials?
Thanks for your interest! Hopefully you’ll see more this Summer or Fall. I’ve been traveling for all of 2018 and it’s been tough to do all the things I want to do.
Sounds like an exciting year then! I will wait patiently;) I do think there is a somewhat surprising lack of detailed and educational tutorials on eurorack patches (not counting module-specific tutorials) so a series by one of the legends in the field would likely garner some attention.
Two words: "Rosetta Stone!"
This so beautifully mirrors my Eurorack journey so far. Not in terms of scope or depth (I'm not there yet), but in terms of ideas, processes, and conceptual frameworks. The use of distinct overlapping voices, simultaneously generative and performative, is exactly what I'm up to. And your quasi off-hand reference to all your tools (modules) provides me with months of peeling away layers and digging deep into possibilities.
Thank you for the inspiration. You are changing lives. Trust that.
Peace in and out,

Weee.....I'm backer number 5!
Yes! Great to have you on board, John. I have some bonuses planned for you Hexahedrons ~
You said emily spriggs? any links to her stuff? I didn't find her off of a quick search...

anyway to manage cables
Not sure if I already tried to contact you as I already contacted a bunch of people today so I hope you don't feel spammed by me..
I am curating a compilation album with music from the modular scene on TH-cam for the Leipzig based independend label 'Pattern//Select'. The album will be released on cassette tape around april 2018 and will be totally non-profit - all the sales will just be used to cover the costs of the production. We wanted to make more people aware of the great music that is created every day by all those creative and talented people here on TH-cam and give something back to this lovely scene. If you are interested in being part of the tape please tell me, I will put my e-mail adress into the comments so we can get in contact for further information about the project. So far, artists like Comparative Irrelevance, Atreyu's Horse, Kupka, Nick Jackson or Mike Thomas will be on the album.
Greetings from Leipzig,
Leon
Ah, yes. Thanks. I'll PM you soon. I've been pretty occupied with launching these two pieces and a Patreon.
Awesome, looking forward to hearing from you : )
Interesting offer, mate - any way to contact you directly? I have a good many doubts on modular synths (especially the recording process) and would be interested in knowing more about your proposal (e.g., pricing, rate, etc) - any form of contacting you?
I have a Patreon that offers a structure for lessons if you’re interested in non-weekly sessions and the sort of bonuses available there, and then I also do weekly lessons arranged directly. So you can check out my Patreon or contact me through my website, both links are in the description.
Thanks for the reply - yes, will do next week - will drop you a line. cheers, s.
Done! (under my real name). This seems exciting!
Aaaah!! i saw you Lightbath!!! you're under arrest...you have the right tomake one phone call or disappear in a bath of light!
I choose option B
All right!...
any insight on clouds original or parasites?
I use Parasites because I like the extra modes. Matthias Puech does some really great work.
i just ordered uclouds...have been on the fence about getting one for a while now. I make videos with camera feedback and or a video synthesizer. please let me know if you would like a video for a specific song. i would love to do one for ya. th-cam.com/video/ccdl91LSQKs/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/2K54Ffs9KTI/w-d-xo.html
Oh, very cool. I'm totally feeling the vibe in Porta 002. Love the sounds, too. Yes, let's talk. We can either PM here or you can reach out via the contact form on my website and we can take it from there. As for uClouds, yeah, I went with the one flashed with Parasites. You'll dig it.
replied via the site.
101 ways to patch your rings and clouds
Top camera view plz
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually tried and it looked really weird. A top view of a 6U looks great because it's at a single angle, but the two angles of the two cases requires, in my opinion, two cameras to get top views that fit into the frame and don't look strange. At the moment I have only a single camera, so the 12U patches will likely have to be a compromise in framing.
And on that note is there anybody out there that wants to buy me this puppy?

I promise I'll put them to good use and make lots of amazing videos. F'real.
I really dig the connections, you're up there with more advanced configurations and trough your video I got introduced to a few modules that I was not aware of. Keep it up !
Thanks for the support!
Can I ask you how do you made cello sounds with such long attack and decay on Plonk? I try to achieve this effect sending slow lfos from Batumi to Polonk, but I only get some percussion like sound :( Thanks!
Sure. You have to not use the mallet section and only use the noise section with the slow attack/release. That'll do the trick!
hah! cool! thank you very much - I'll try it! and Merry Christmas :)
💫
Is this a dream?
Lol. Well, it may actually be...
Just joined the Patreon, admittedly not at as high a level as I'd like. I remember months and months ago mentioning "You should have a Patreon, dude" as you were very helpful when I was trying to interpret your patch notes in order to understand how you were making the sounds you were making (I think on "Batumi Master"?), so consider that me putting my money where my mouth is. Now for the constructive criticism, which I hope you'll take in the spirit which it's intended: this is a lovely video and a lovely piece of music, but it's not really a tutorial. You're reverse engineering your track, which is valuable and entertaining in its own right, but the issue for me is that I don't own a lot of these modules and have no idea what some of them do, such as the Tirana and the Samara which feature heavily here), plus you're always adding modules to your setup faster than I can understand what they're for (I did go out and get a Batumi because of that video of yours and have been slowing working my way through its functionality). What I'd really, really, really like to see is taking an unpatched system all the way through to a patch, as well as explaining how you make the decision to patch modules together in a certain way, explaining what a module does along the way. Like, what exactly is a "Utility Waveform Processor."
Thank you! And oh, just you wait. Your suggestion is great and is in alignment with what I have planned for the near future. I have two more video series that I'll be starting and one of those series is for live patching from scratch. I'll go slower and explain more about what's happening. And the patches won't be as large or as complicated as this one.
But this video series is for peeking under the hood of finished patches. To keep the flow we're just peeking inside of my patch. It's intended for people who are already familiar with a lot of the modules. But I still do recommend this video for beginners and intermediates, if they're willing to either let the details slide, or to check out the patch notes up on Patreon and then Google the different modules to do their own research (or use the ModularGrid link in the description to see what I'm using and Google from there).
For example, if you're unsure what Tirana and Samara are, you can just look them up and see. Then when you re-watch that part of the video you'll catch that I say that Tirana has a 4-step sequence (it's a simple sequencer) and that two channels of Batumi are being mixed in Samara (it's a mixer), and it'll make more sense.
So yeah, I chose to keep the pace moving with this approach and not go into a granular level of detail. It's not a 101 class. More of a 401.
That said, I feel this video is still very much a tutorial. Even if you don't know what certain modules are, if you let the details go and instead focus on how I'm presenting the overall concepts, you might find that it gently teaches you an approach to ambient generative composition.
Either way, I think you'll dig some of the more detailed, foundational videos I have in the pipeline.
Glad to have you on board with Patreon! I totally appreciate it and I look forward to sharing more bonus material to Patrons!
"just listen; don't try to act, don't try to do."
Truer words have ne'er been spoken.
I, too, share your theory that generative patches reflect my inner state. As hippie dippy as that sounds.
5:32 Yup, you just patched Money for nothing. So weird 😂
Lol. Quite possibly my favorite part.
