I think it’s so crazy that you went from being like a melodic metal guitarist channel to doing synth stuff too. Great content.
Whatever brings in affiliate clicks I suppose right?
She got a techno boyfriend. 😂
This was a super great build. Great choices and sounds awesome.
Thank you!!
Big props right off the bat for opening the video with what it sounds like! Sounds really good!
DAMN girl, that was some sick tune at the beginning there oh my..
First 2 musical parts went from Drum & Bass to Doom Eternal real quick lol
It’s very versatile 😁
Lol
Sick
Damn, this is literally the most inspiring build I've ever seen and the sounds you're getting out of it are so good. I'm definitely gonna steal a couple of those module choices.
I reckon that a drum focused modular beat system outworks and outpaces any dedicated drum machine by a fair few miles. I have a MFB drum machine, a vermona DRM 1 and a behringer rd-6 and an MPC X, granted, I am nowhere near as creative as you are, but when it comes to a modular set-up there's nothing else more inspiring. The ability to patch point X to point Y and get really crazy with it is what makes up the bigger picture.
That’s an awesome setup and super cool sounds you’ve created
I think this is the coolest music I’ve ever heard from a modular setup. Fucking nice!
amens to glitch in less than 60sec, now this is my type of demo ^^
Amazing combo of modules! Never thought about getting into modular before, but you might just have inspired me to think about my own custom drum machine.
Can you do a full video on how you got into Modular systems?
I've seen them before but I didn't know what they were or how to use them.
Cool lil system that sounds huge! I have a similar system but a jomox kick instead of the BIA. Haven’t bothered to load samples into the Rample yet because there is already plenty of cool stuff in there. Awesome as always!
Brutal Drum sounds . Love it
That looks like such an wildly fun, inspiring system!
these all sound sick af
I'm in it dude, I'm in love with modular, this shit is the coolest.
Thank you that skiff rocks!
Can't believe I only just discovered your channel, subbed!
This is very cool Sarah.
that opening pattern was sooooooooooo nice!!
Nice little rhythm box, but damn that's a lot of money.
Could probably buy a TR-8S and a Pulsar-23 and still have change...
But having been into modular since '97 myself, I understand the desire for absolute control.
love to ALL, feel no hate
Don’t disagree that it’s not the cheapest solution, but a pulsar is about $3,000
@@ryanthompson4423 Agreed, it's not cheap at all, - Pulsar-23 is only around £1,700 in the UK,
- I'd rather have a Pulsar-23 though, wouldn't you?
intelligel pallette £288, erica drum £289, Squarp rample £279, noise engineering BIA £320,
Pam's workout £230, Xaoc Zadar £260, Intelligel 1u Quadratt £70, noise engineering clap Diaz £120
= £1,856
current UK price for a Soma Pulsar-23 = £1,720
- Maybe she won't be able to afford the TR-8S as well, but probably a secondhand TR-8 instead.
Having personally spent thousands of £ on eurorack since 1998, I feel the prices just get more and more extravagant, and ridiculous, each year, - to the point that I can now see that many, now well established, boutique companies are starting to take advantage of their customers by not passing on the benefits of their own successes over the years, - not all, but many. Sure, I don't have to buy it, and I don't anymore, - but it's slowly becoming a play field, just for the wealthy hipsters.
Still I agree, £1,720 is a lot for a 4-voice drum machine, but unlike eurorack, it is designed from the floor up, circuit by circuit, as a singular self-contained instrument, and in that process I feel Vlad has created something much greater than the sum of it's parts.
love to ALL, feel no hate
@@corrosiveabuser I saw this video and got all hyped up, I came close to buying a Eurorack case and start throwing money at it so I would some day have an amazing drum machine. And then I started to think, just like you did. And came to the same conclusion.
So now there's the LXR 02 by Sonic Potions and Erica Synths, I've ordered that and I'm 100% sure that was the better way to go.
Yea that lxr2 came on my radar I am seriously considering it just sold my Roland tr6s to raise money
Haha! Falling into voids can happen surprising often. There are worse places to be though. My attention is being slowly peaked by mudular, so it was very interesting to hear about your setup. Thank you.
i would spend hours twiddling on that great stuff great build merry 2022
Tasty grooves here! SWEET set of Modules as well.💡🎵💥🤙
This is insanely dope! Im to old to learn this 1 but il listen all-day
Thanks for this! I had been wondering what kind of modules to get for just a percusion set up.
Never seen the Zadar, love how it was used
That's SICK!
that sound in the beginning is so good haha
that was very interesting, nice set of modules put up together.
Looks like you have a bigger space to make your music in! CONGRATS!! FYI: when doing videos, more lights, more lights and then one or two more lights! lol OH! The rack has great drum possibilities!! WOW!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've been working exclusively with drones but hankering after some fucked up rhythms to pair with them. Now I just need the money!
I really like the sound of this set up it has its own style
Great little, compact rig. Love the sounds. A lot of possibilities for a small set-up. Very inspiring ...... and I still need to buy a BIA 👍
You can use a passive mult for triggers/gates. The buffered is for CV/Audio signals. Nothing wrong with using it for triggers/gates, but the pallet case already has 2 buffered mults across the top. You could probably find something better to do with the 2hp. Or drop both the 2hp and the Diaz, use the zadar for modulating the BIA, and take the 6hp back for something else, like a second BIA. XD I dunno. It's a good kit.
mannnnnn! Sarah is so cool! Those sounds were sicccck! I love it
I have a drum case similar to this, it definitely comes in handy, never know what band you are gonna play with
I had those same chairs in my first studio that’s crazy
I’ve watched this video so many times thank you for making this and inspiring me to get into eurorack. Just built my first setup
Every time I see one of your modular synth videos, I feel I ought to point you towards Vile Electrodes, who are a UK band that have been doing (very atmospheric) modular synth stuff for years
Keep up the good work. It was your guitar stuff that brought me to your channel but the synth stuff, the Electron Digitakt that kept me here
(I seriously want one of those, just need to do enough gigs to pay for one, and those have been in short supply over the last 18 months)
i have been mucking around with the microBRUTE doing bass line stuff like this i think it would pair nicely.
I have the Pam’s, and the Squarp Rample is on my wishlist, so I feel that I’m partway there- especially as I have two drum voices on the Erica Synths Pico Drum, plus Plaits, and some 2hp gear. All I need now is your ability…
My god that's insane. Bravo! Mind blown
Fantastic video! This makes me want to get into modular for rhythm!
(I really really hope you do more videos just performing with this.)
what a beautiful system. So cool sound
Sarah. Our modern shred queen.
Very cool modular!! Been thinking in building something similar, thanks for sharing!
Sweet drum “machine” 👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome.
This is, in the "DIY analog synth context" named as: "Military-grade quatum high tech engineering with cutting-edge advanced cuasi-alien technology". Expensive but powerfull. Gorgeous stuff!!!!!!!!
I'm curious how weird a Sarah Longfield concert gets
i would say there is no upper limit on this. You can always go Longfield but there is no upper bound on how much and I love it
Super cool!
Rample fam here. This is a nice case!
This was incredible! Could you recommend a combination of modules for something similar, but on a budget? Thanks a million. :)
Here’s my suggestion for modules on a budget - no modules !
I’m hearing a lot of people asking Behringer to make modules. They make some cool and very affordable semi modular synths to start out on. VCV rack is another suggestion. It’s free modular synth software. You can buy modules for very cheap (for the software of course) and they give you more than enough to play with off the bat. You do have to have a really good computer for it, preferably a pc. They also have all sorts of modules that are actual on the market. Good luck!
i just biult the rack on modular grid .. 1499 euro RRP plus another 300 for the case ..
i dont agree with her comment on the workflow being better than a digitakt one bit ,elektron work flow is fast when you know it well ., but the sounds youd get from that little rig would be a nice option to have ..
@@ArkaHtun For me, it's not so much the workflow is faster, but modular is different. It makes you think about inputs and outputs in different ways and that is worth the price of admission, if you can afford it.
@@Kaleil I guess I’m just trying to warn people who are potentially wanting to get sucked into modular before trying the cheaper options .. your sponsored by perfect circuit right?
Seems a great setup!
Awesome! Looking to get more percussive sounds in my modular and this gave me a few ideas 😎 subbed
What would be really helpful for us newbies is a signal flow video. Showing how all the ins and outs work and how to get them to either a DAW or to a set of speakers.
I built one of those and accidentally travelled back in time to last wednesday.
I feel this. I modded monotron delay , added two craves and zoned out completely. If i build modular synth, void will take me away. There are two big synths looking at me right now, and i’m struggling to start dig them.
@@wickeddubz I feel ya! I just bought my second Crave too - insane machine. Always wanted more Crave and it arrived today! And I have that Korg Nu tekt NTS1 Cheers!
😂
I'd love to see a long video of you performing with it or just playing around
Why not add a link in the description to your BIA video you mentioned?
i think you could have expended to 84 and a few filter and effects modules to reach the super awesome drum rack , but i suppose you already got that in the big rack just beneath
lovely case sarah!!
That was dope!! New sub here!
This blows my mind
So. Damn. Sick.
This episode ruled
the kick coming in at 0:27 is that from the sample drum included samples?
Whats that little pink thing you cut out? Almost looks like plexi glass?
Love the modular gear yet I'm curious about that dope mixer in the corner
Sincerely, I understand each time less and less from your work and the items, but it surely sounds incredible! 🥳
Those pink cables and that cover thingy scream (in modular synchrony) Sarah Longfield :)
It sounds so cool.
How do you program all the steps of the drum sequences?. I’m from the classic hardware step sequencer background (like the Digitakt) and I can’t figure out how you enter individual steps in that step up?
Just got the DFAM. Got any suggestions for a drum module to go with it? Great video!
Sounds awesome!
My wallet wasn't ready for this video to show up in my feed. Love the setup!!
can you just route DIY piezo drum trigger pads into module trigger inputs ??? or do i need some drum trigger interface module?
Really great, congratulations. 1 question: there is no Sequenzer, right? You use Pamelas New Workouts triggers?
Thanks! And correct, Pam’s is sending triggers to every module to sequence the drums
love
Does it do any sort of traditional synth sounds? Idk if I missed that...
Great video, really helpful. Subscribed!
you've nailed it
Loving this!
Pls make a video using this, it'd really help us decide if it's really worth it. Thanks.
How is the workflow better here than a digitakt? Seriously. Ive had the rample and sample drum. Please explain.
You’re trying to get me addicted to eurocrack...I mean eurorack 🤪
No, I do not need a drum modular.... No, I do not need a drum modular.... No, I do not need a drum modular.... No, I do not need a drum modular.... No, I do not need a drum modular....

you don't need YT either lol
Very helpful, great vid
Doesn't the palette already have a mult?!
this is super cool!
Some nice choice there, but what's wrong with the rest of the 1u row with a noise generator or something? Also, how come you need 2 multis in such a small case? The built it one is more than enough and your demo doesn't even use it. Using the palette as a drum or bass synth is awesome though, agreed!
I could def add more 1u modules they’re just hard to find (usually out of stock!) and the mult that is built into the case is passive, so to avoid a drop in signal I have the small buffered mult on the end
@@SarahLongfield the built in mult is buffered according to the Intellijel website. I generally only use them for clock and reset triggers though so I wouldn’t know if the signal drops.
Nice breakdown... curious if you played around with Plonk and your thoughts on it? Also could you drop a link to your noise engineering demo?
I have no idea what any of this means but i like it
You should look at Future retro Transient Plus. highly underrated
What would be the price point on all this
looking at around $2,500 not bad you kind of sold me on this based on just the sounds you were making.
i found the answer to my own question....but the cheapest solution is the PAIA 9212K Sensor Processing Amplifier Kit ( i would have to make my own module, to get 8 triggers into +5 CV )
and OMG, Behringer is going to be releasing an 80HP Clone of Pearl Syncussion SY-1 !!!! ( i hope i can afford 4 of them )
but then i would have no way of recording MIDI performance .... so i am thinking " eDRUMin 4 " ( 4 dual trigger ins = 8 )
oh man that looks and sounds great! Wallet, forgive me for I will sin
Damn you. I just found something else I know nothing about that I now want to know everything about.
How dare you be so interesting!
If the two sample modules are basically the same, why have one of each? Is the only difference in the presets (which is kinda against the whole modular concept)?
does each module have it own out put for recording into an audio interface ? be perfect for mixing then
The beats must flow.
Wonderful
