this is the most in depth coverage ive been able to find and have been needing to return to as a reference to using the crave. thank you very much for putting the time that it took to cover this.
Yes it is. Very cheap, strong build and has a lot to offer. When I started using it I was surprised of all the things I could do. Thanks for the comment.
Just picked up a Crave as my intro to semi-modular. Really thankful this tutorial is out there. Homie had me covered when I picked up my Behringer VS mini pro. Best walk through/tutorials on the Interwebz. Thanks bro!
I am going to watch the patchbay one now. My big question I am looking to answer is whether I can sync the tempo to my drum machine using the patchbay. But anyway, this has been a fantastic lesson. It doesn't always go straight to what you want to know but you learn more by following the path xnb takes here. 😀
As always thank you very much 4 your perfect in depth tutorials!! I cant trigerr Crave Arp & sequncer for my DAW, ableton in this case, maybe you know what to do???
I have this one too! I had to buy a 2nd one because I blew my last one. I plugged in the wrong volts (24v) and fried the circuits but everything else still works, so i can use it as a modulation source. Thanks dude!
Fucxxxxx I hate when that happens. Now I label every power source and synth with either name or voltage ... you could have fixed it, sometimes when you fry it...not everything gets cooked, sometimes its a capacitor or a chip, something easy to replace with the part and a solder. Maybe you ca fix it an sell it, to avoid generating more garbage, the world doesn't need it. I am sorry My wife converted me into this non-plastic, recycling dumbass, sorry for that.
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. It's extremely helpful. I have one question that I'd appreciate your help with too, which is what amp or speaker should I get for the Crave. I know there's some risk of blowing out speakers if the wattage or voltage is wrong. What should I look for with a simple speaker setup for practicing?
Subbing to your channel was the best thing I’ve done as you always seem to do tutorials on synths I have! (but which I’m hopeless at using, just love playing with them!)
Thanks !! I am glad to know they were useful to you. I am not a very good player, I produce more that play. I am a more guitar player, but still you need to learn how the device works. Playing and knowing hoe to operate it are completely different things.
hi, thanks for this whole series, i learned a lot! i'll leave this question in case anybody can explain to me... so first you said that when VCA is set to ON, envelope is bypassed. but then when explaining modulation dest set to frquency with VCA mode ON, output is still modified by envelope settings 🤔 why is that?
I think it is a basic equipment to learn - and then you could connect another syntethizer to make different sound, but you have still the nice and useful sequencer.
Does the CRAVE have a random playback mode? On the Mother 32, with the v2.0 firmware, you can press KYBD+STEP+4 and the sequence will play in random. This is different than patching Sequence Step Random, since you may want to keep send that to other parameters.
Hi, this is a great video thanks but when I record on the sequencer nothing comes out on playback. Could I be missing something or have I got a dud? ( I bought it second hand).
Damn, could be a lot of things. Connect it to a PC, make sure is up o date and do a factory reset. Maybe the oher guy had it connected to something else and the config is a bit off.
anyone know why my crave has a flashing green light instead of a solid green light on "1" of the octave/location? i cant figure out how to change it. also the lights in the same location do not turn on when I am doing the swing function. please help!?
Very informative video.I have 2 questions . Can you use the crave as a sequencer for another synth ? For example the korg ms 20. And the other question . Why when you have the usb plugged in , it outputs that constant hum. I have the same problem with the korg ms 20 mini when i send midi out from ableton to the ms 20 through the usb.

When I press shift and den turn for swing my leds docent change or light up
You may have answered this somewhere else already but what are the uses of the VCA mode switch being set to on please? Is it to provide a sustained note for tone shaping etc? I’ve noticed a similar feature on the Neutron and doubtless it is on other synths too.. Thanks!
vca mode set to on means the envelope doesn't affect the vca, the volume at the final stage of the crave is constant- always on. Sometimes you don't want to have an envelope on the amplitude or at least not the same one as on the filter/mod/etc.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I have a question, I would like to add the Crave to my digitakt setup. That is, the Crave should receive tempo, sync and midi notes from the Digitakt. How do I do that? I get the sync - Midi Out from the digitakt to the Crave - it starts when I start the digitakt. Unfortunately, the Crave does not change the tempo and I do not get any notes sent. Maybe you can help - thanks
Oh, I really have no idea how you can sync it with elekton, never had one of those. It would be cool though, but in my country they charge it like it was a golden unicorn carrying the definitive cure for all diseases, it's ridiculous.
Yes, you are completely right. Cheaper and built good, I cannot really complain about it. If you have the money, the mother 32 will keep it's value, that's the main difference, but if you don't want or can't, this is the best alternative available by far,

I like the Crave. It's simple, but versatile. And now I finally understood what all the knobs and switches are doing 😁
Yeah, it's simple but you can do a lot !!! Thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much. Your way explaining is great.
Yes Herbert, thank you for the help I really need it to keep on going. And of course....to get more coffee ☕. Thanks 🙏👍
Now waiting for your Behringer Edge Deep Dive Tutorial
Just got myself a Crave and this video is an absolute godsend. Thank you my friend 👍
This so great, kind of "missing manual", the very one that Berhinger should have made !
Thank you so much for that 👋👌🙂
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Awesome and very thorough! I also appreciate the timestamps for easy lookup of things later. Thank you!
Thanks, I do a lot of planning before recording so I can keep a lean timeline. So thanks for the comment :)
Your tutorials are superb! Great teacher, clear for everyone.
Glad you liked it, thanks for the comment !!
Man!! Had this synth is a true masterbeat!
Yes it is. Very cheap, strong build and has a lot to offer. When I started using it I was surprised of all the things I could do. Thanks for the comment.

🎉excellent review thank you, I’m so exited to receive my crave arrives tomorrow.
Thanks!
As always thank you very much 4 your perfect in depth tutorials!!

Excelent content, had to break out my crave to look at all this stuff. Would love to see an in depth look just at the assign patch point.
Hey, i already did it. check my channel, there is a whole video just covering the patch bay. The last part of the video is the assign.
@@XNBeatsMusic th-cam.com/video/6XXovlwoiIU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, mate. Very hard but good work! Now there's much more clearer!
Merci beaucoup, that's really great! I'm gonna get my hands on it with some practice and check your video related to the Crave patch bay. THX
Very useful, well done. I like the organization of the contents, awesome!
Thanks for the Video! I knew some things, but u showed so many possibilitys!!!
best walkthrough! obviously i've seen them all ... 😁🤙
I have this one too! I had to buy a 2nd one because I blew my last one. I plugged in the wrong volts (24v) and fried the circuits but everything else still works, so i can use it as a modulation source. Thanks dude!

Excellent tutorial, enjoyed it. A bug for me is that Shift + Gate Length does not work to change the gate length of arp.
1:14:38 you dialed in the NES excitebike tone lol good video

Guitar player myself, your videos really help me learn about synths :)
I own a Crave so I won't miss this guide !!
Hope you like it !!!! cheers :)

luv your efforts man, another top tutorial ,thanks.
Another great tutorial! Thanks a lot! Can I ask you what plugin or software are you using for oscilloscope?
Thanks for the comment. Its the DAW, bitwig. You get that spectrum and oscilloscope. There are free plugins if you want an oscillcope. socalabs.com/
I think it is a basic equipment to learn - and then you could connect another syntethizer to make different sound, but you have still the nice and useful sequencer.
Please make quick tutorial about sync Crave with Bitwig.
thanks so much for putting this together .. you are golden!
Great tutorial, really helping me bud
Does the CRAVE have a random playback mode? On the Mother 32, with the v2.0 firmware, you can press KYBD+STEP+4 and the sequence will play in random. This is different than patching Sequence Step Random, since you may want to keep send that to other parameters.
Thanks mate, great visual manual!
Very Well Explained ..Thank you
great video but one thing that i cant sus out is how to change scale time division when using external clock.
Thank you so much!
Well thank you for the comment :)
Thank you so much for this!!!
Hi, this is a great video thanks but when I record on the sequencer nothing comes out on playback. Could I be missing something or have I got a dud? ( I bought it second hand).
Damn, could be a lot of things. Connect it to a PC, make sure is up o date and do a factory reset. Maybe the oher guy had it connected to something else and the config is a bit off.
Great work , thanks for the video
How do you set exact bmp without seeing it displayed
very complete and usefull, thanks a lot!😊
Hi could you please tell me what frequency spectrum plugin your using please!
anyone know why my crave has a flashing green light instead of a solid green light on "1" of the octave/location? i cant figure out how to change it. also the lights in the same location do not turn on when I am doing the swing function. please help!?

Hey....yea, just like QWERTY said, is a way of removing the envelope out of the way.
Thank you :)
How do you get the graphs of the waveform of the sounds to show with which software?
That’s what i want to know did u find one ?
What did you find ?
Hi! Does the crave have patch memory 🤔? And can you sync the alesis sr16 drum machine via midi with the crave? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I have a question, I would like to add the Crave to my digitakt setup. That is, the Crave should receive tempo, sync and midi notes from the Digitakt. How do I do that?

@Dandini well, how do you then ? help the that man out :)
Is a transcript available or can one be made? I tend to learn better by reading.
Great tutorial. Its a Mother 32. Exactly the same with some added features and cheaper.
Yes, you are completely right. Cheaper and built good, I cannot really complain about it. If you have the money, the mother 32 will keep it's value, that's the main difference, but if you don't want or can't, this is the best alternative available by far,
Man, great tutorial!
thank you
Thanks a lot! Beautiful tutorial.
Thank You🫡🙏
Thanks for the video
You put the volumen nob very low and sound laud, mine I put it all the way up and is not that laud….
Probably the cutoff or filter
