Thanks for the kind words. Glad you found the patch notes useful, its always good to get feedback. The 16n is a really fun way to add hands on control and modulation into you patches, I definitely enjoy using it.
Thank you so much for listening! Glad you enjoyed the patch notes... I am trying hard to add those to my TH-cam videos. It’s not something that is a natural part of how I like to make music but I really appreciate how they can add to the videos in particular. I really appreciate the comment. 🙏🏼
Thanks so much for the kind words, really means a lot to hear you enjoyed what you heard....sorry it took me a while to get around to getting to this comment, busy days 😅
Thanks so much! And I think you’re newborn’s approval of falling asleep is the probably the greatest complement I’ve received so far. Wishing you and your family all the best.
écan't believe I missed this for two whole weeks! It's so gorgeous! The chords are wonderful, it feels free and opened. Stereo field is insane in this and I love how you used the 16n. Such a fan of this video!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you found it. I’m really loving the 16n, using it to ‘play’ the ensemble oscillator is my new favourite thing. Thanks for the support as always. All the best 🙏🏼
This video made me reconsider selling my 4ms ensemble oscillator for the time being! What is making that subtle warbling reverb sound in the background from the very beginning to the end though? Is it the magneto?
Thank you for the kind words. I agree midi implementation for Disting EX is really great. The 2hp module is a MIDI breakout adapter, connects to EX via a ribbon cable and then gives midi control.
Thanks for listening and for such kind words. Hermod is great! But I’m pretty new to the ensemble oscillator... my advice with it is definitely go ahead and reprogram some of the scales, that really helped me begin to learn how the whole thing works.
It’s called a 16n Faderbank, it outputs CV, or MIDI over 16 faders which you can then map to any controllable parameter in you setup. It’s pretty great!
Curious on your thoughts on the Ensemble Oscillator versus QuBit's Chord V2! I was all set to purchase the Chord after watching your piece "Bide" but this video has me reconsidering!
Hmmm 🤔 they really are so different and I’m my opinion achieve very different things. Chord is a great, low HP, answer to adding true polyphony to the eurorack and I have really enjoyed using it in its polyphonic modes as well as the quantised chord modes (like in ‘Bide’ and also ‘Echo Voice’) BUT for me the way you programme custom chords felt unusually clunky and often took me out of the moment when playing music (this may be due just how I think about things and like to work). The 4ms is not polyphonic! You can simply distribute a number of oscillators over a given set of intervals so very different. What I do really like about it though is that the programming of interesting scales/intervals is very intuitive and extremely fast and easy to do. This has made programming what I think are interesting pads and chords has felt very immediate whilst writing. My general advice would be to go and read the manuals for both, that will give you a good idea of their capabilities and how you programme them. They are very different approaches to similar musical concepts. However if you want proper polyphony then only Chord really does that.
I had them both and sold both of them - couldn't get along neither with the sound of the Chord nor the operation of the 4ms. From my experience, buying a rather distinct module after listening to a particular song here on TH-cam might not be your best bet - did it multiple times, rarely works out ;). You usually don't buy modules for a single song - and if you do, it should be _your_ song. When you listen to what you hear in your head, then there's a good chance to make better choices. Just my four cents.

Excellent impro jam with fascinating machines. Very interesting and inspiring for my own ambient work.
Thanks you, the machines are endlessly fascinating I agree. Always happy to provide inspiration ✨🙏🏼
Excellent sound, great patch notes - I think I need to get a 16n as well to get some control over my rack..
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you found the patch notes useful, its always good to get feedback. The 16n is a really fun way to add hands on control and modulation into you patches, I definitely enjoy using it.
Beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing. I found this as I was looking for examples of different people using the EnsOsc...
Thanks so much for stopping by and for such kind words 😊. And I hope the EnsOsc example helped in some way.
I, too, truly enjoyed this.
Very clever. Will have to check out the 16n faderbank.
Yes it’s a great combo, would definitely recommend checking it out.
really beautiful.
Great work and thanks for the excellent patch notes. Faderbank rocks with the ensemble, so that will be my next experiment :)
Thanks so much for the kind words. I agree Faderbank + Ensemble is a great pairing! Definitely a fun experiment.
Sounds lovely!!! Appreciate the very detailed patch info as well. Keep making good music 🙏🏽

This is so awesome. I’m blown away. Many thanks for sharing.

very nice one, also my newborn approved by falling asleep nicely 😄
Thanks so much! And I think you’re newborn’s approval of falling asleep is the probably the greatest complement I’ve received so far. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Beautiful and inspiring!
Thank you so much for such kind words. Really means a lot. 👍🏻
Beautiful and calming, great work.
Thanks so much! Really happy I can help provide some calm.

This is so wonderful dude, really well done! So sublime...Will check out your new single!
Thank you so much! And thanks for checking out the single, I really appreciate all the support.
Great stuff! I like the texture of it all.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the textures!
Wonderful sounds! Well done!
Thanks a bunch as always 🙏🏼✨
Stellar.
Wonderful as always👌👌
Thanks as always! 🙏🏼

really really good! dig that disting EX midi implementation. what is that 2hp module? does it connect to the EX on the back? great work
Thank you for the kind words. I agree midi implementation for Disting EX is really great. The 2hp module is a MIDI breakout adapter, connects to EX via a ribbon cable and then gives midi control.
damn thats lush
😊 ‘lush’ is always good in my books. Thanks for stopping by and listening 🙏🏼
Sounds great! I have a hermod and ensemble oscillator and I just want to use them a bit better :P thanks for sharing
Thanks for listening and for such kind words. Hermod is great! But I’m pretty new to the ensemble oscillator... my advice with it is definitely go ahead and reprogram some of the scales, that really helped me begin to learn how the whole thing works.
that background loop...what makes it?
There are a few things in the background including some looping guitar and then some plucky sounds going through a rhythmic/looping delay.
Very nice. Is the disting ex on poly wavetable?
Thanks a lot! No not using poly-wavetable here...I haven’t updated firmware to that yet, using multi sample engine here.
What is that sliders black box?
It’s called a 16n Faderbank, it outputs CV, or MIDI over 16 faders which you can then map to any controllable parameter in you setup. It’s pretty great!

@@FormsMusic Thank you for the reply, I'll definitely have a look at both of their manuals. Looking forward to more of your work!
@@stefanbreitenfeld You definitely raise a good point here hahaha
I could only click “like” one time
🙏🏼 If only we could give multiple likes! I’m super happy to just get the one though. Thanks for stopping by and listening, means a lot.
