This was a great idea. The wealth of knowledge and experience at superbooth is immense and this succinctly dips the bucket into that pool and pours a nice whee cup of inspo tea. Yum
inspo tea all round, thanks for the great tip too.
Love this focus on performance techniques. Inspires something better than GAS
These tips go hard. Sync or swim for all other Superbooth vids now - this sets the bar 🙌🏽
🙌
Mylarmelodies leaning into the Yorkshire "get off my land" accent legitimately made laugh out loud.
Yeah, fantastic!
Thanks for passing by, Ben! Happy patching to all!
thank you
Great stuff, thanks for having me and it was great to meet you there in the flesh ;-) PS: oh boy my voice hahaha
Great to see you, wish we had more time to hangout but a pleasure to get the patch tip
Outstanding .. thanks for doing this
A total pleasure and something I'll be doing more of
So many awesome tips! Ty!
a pleasure to share
Tons of great ideas here! Thanks passing by and sharing our little tip. Let's bring groove back into our patches!
Glad I got chance to pop by and see you, too brief of course, like everything Superbooth feels. A great time though.
What a fantastic use of an event, with access to so many minds!
It really is!
Best Eurorack video ever! The community needs more tips like these. Thanks Ben!!
Thanks Phillip I'll certainly be doing more of these at each event I get to and maybe more around that too
thanks for the pdf great work
You're welcome
Gold video ❤ thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool! And useful, thx! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
best modular video to date tbh
glad you liked it
Hard syncing ! Thanks to all you passionnate people for the tips, and for the hard work put into making amazing modules and TH-cam content :)
Thank you for nice comment, appreciate it.
Great idea for a video 👍
thanks
Brilliant. Watched in 24 parts with patching in-between. Whether reminders or new ideas, always inspirational
ah cool! Hope it led to some good results
Hard sync. Great video Ben. I know you're always doing modular vids, was curious if you have some poly synths in your studio. Would LOVE to see a video of you highlighting them and some sounds you've created.
There's a fair bit of other things in here that I enjoy. I'll be bringing in more of my background and other things I used into the channel over the year. Starting the Pedals and Patches series I started a couple of months back.
This was a very cool idea. Interesting to see some people gravitate to the same tip (feedback for example) though perhaps for very different reasons.
I feel compelled to share a tip now...
I use a ducking pedal with chord that is being held, but instead of an audio signal to do the ducking (like a bass drum), I use a clock signal passing through a clock divider and I alter the rates of the clock divider. The particular one I used is a EHX Clockworks, but I imagine most any that you can control how it passes would be good. I love to move between 1-4 divisions with the 3 giving a nice timed triplet for a short couple of seconds.
A great tip! Thanks for adding that into the mix. I often use CV signals or triggers (similar the EHX Clockworks) for ducking too, rarely with a clock divider I'm changing up the division of though. That's cool.
Ready to sprint home and try Mr. Lim’s allpassed sine modulator
I tried this and it only gave me some vibrato like effect
I'm keen to try this one too
I am writing all of this down immediately!!!
Endless exploration to be had here.
Iv'e done that for you, grab the free PDF document with all the tips - divkid.gumroad.com/l/superbooth2024-patchtips
@@DivKid you’re an absolute legend!
Nice got some cool ideas
Thanks!
@@DivKid you’re welcome.
Ben! You hit on a winner here….. I’m throwing in my vote for more of these super quick patch note rodeos!! 🎹🔥🙏
"patch note rodeo" haha love it. Yeah I'll be doing more.
@@DivKid extra tip - your patrons could even do some!
Absolutely, it's great to include the community too. I've been thinking about how to better include them in this sort of thing.
Ping a filter and insert it in the fm input of a vco :)
I like that one. Using already structured notes not just droning VCOs into FM inputs.
Nice, that's alorra tips. @12:26 is the simplist of them all but can be so effective. Even if you have an input attenuator, put another inbetween. Getting a full knob sweep over 1 volt rather than 10 can reveal some amazing stuff!
double attenuation can be really key to dialling things in, I find myself using that a fair bit.
sync...tnanks for the tips, very helpful! Any tips how to rob a bank so I can buy all the modules I want?🤣🤣🤣
I'll go for effective heist tips next time.
what a great idea for a video :)
really enjoyed this, cheers
thank you, feels like I've found "my thing" for event videos and I'll definitely be doing more of this in the future.
@@DivKid Excellent! I was hoping you would!!!
Pure 🥇! Thank you DivKid and all that contributed!!
Our pleasure!
HARD SYNC! Some great tips in here. Definitely a feedback & audio rate / amplitude modulation theme. Love it!
Yeah leaning into things modular does well or does differently for most.
Hard Sync! Great tips from everyone
Thanks!
Hard sync. Great tips! Thank you!
The tip I always give to myself is to watch Div Kid reviews of modules I don't have or can't afford and then try to figure out how to pull off the same quirks, functions or effects using my array of lesser modules! There's always some food for thought or grist for the modular mill!
Great stuff as always. Thank you!
A great tip! I always try to make videos have lots of ideas that are applicable to many other things. You get this obviously but for anyone reading, any filter demo I'm making - just take those filter patches and try them with filters you already have. thank you!
Hard Sync :) There is a famous record collector/reissue label head named Rich Haupt, every year at the Austin Record Convention (ARC) he goes around asking one or two questions to all the sellers and folks there, hearing the responses about what their first record was or whatever the question is so cool and always a highlight. I'm sure this asking of folks patch ideas is kind of time consuming but this is one of the best superbooth '24 videos I've seen, very cool!
thank you so much, appreciate that.
oh yeah hard syncing it!
really awesome idea and super lovely to see the faces of some of my favorite module makers and synth youtubers!
hoping to include a wider range of users, performers, makers etc in the future too.
Some great tips there also good to put some faces to names/voices/hands haha. Was Mr Hawtin's tip soooooo top that you had to keep it all to yourself?😜
I didn't bump into Hawtin this year.
hard sync successful festival...wish i was there
worth the trip if you can make it one year
Hard Sync ! I think that this video will be played many times by the same people ! 😄 what a good idea to make it !
Thank you, I've definitely found the way I want to cover events as I'll be rolling this out again in the future.
Very informative video and a very refreshing compared to the overload of mediocre Superbooth videos! You're the best!
Wow, thanks! Appreciate it. I have to say I'm enjoying plenty of the other Superbooth videos too though.
What a cracking selection of tips from a bunch of lovely people. Bonus points that you managed to capture Mylar Alex using his proper northern voice and not that London/internet one he tries to fool us with usually 👍
Mr. Treacle Tones.
hahaha
This is a video I will be digesting for a couple of weeks (or months) :) Gracias!
Great thank you!
Hard sync. To summarise: put the wires into the holes and listen on the output!
That was really great. Aside from the technical content, it's lovely to see everyone's faces, and hear their enthusiasm.
Yeah showing faces and ideas was a nice thing to do
Oh, THIS. ...is a glorious thing to do.
Can't wait for 2025 Patch Tips!
Hard Sync.
I'll be doing this at other events too, definitely found my thing I want to do at events with regards to videos
love this ! best super booth vid by far ... very useful.
Glad you liked it!
I’m playing a show tonight with my modular. I’m gonna include some feedback. Thanks for the reminder .
have a good one
There's a few in this that I already do but plenty that I need to try out. Great vid!
glad to hear it
Brilliant ideas all round. Will try these! That Yorkshire Alex lad seems like he might have a promising future...
hahahaha
This is great!
thanks
Hard Sync! Fantastic tips, all of them! Thank you all. :)
my pleasure to get this together
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
thanks! :)
so much stuff to try out.. thanks!
you're welcome it's a pleasure to just share tips and the good people at the event.
Thanks, great!
thank you
Lots of gold here, hard sync!
thanks
This was great! Lots of good inspiration here. Hard sync!
thank you
This is gold🎉
thank you
Thank you much for doing this
my pleasure
Hard Sync! Lots of interesting ideas here, thank you!
absolutely, thanks
I enjoyed watching this!
thanks
Hard sync fam

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing. And Hard Sync.
Glad you liked it, I missed loads of people (I need another 2 days at Superbooth I think) but really glad to share some tips.
Great question. This is very informative!
glad you liked it
Great video, I'll try some of those 😎
thank you, shame to miss you this year but next year I'll do it again.
This is my favorite video ever! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be doing more of these.
TMI, in a good way. Thanks!
grab the document to try things out. Lot to take in and things I'll be trying too.
Hard Sync! will be revisiting this one for sure!
Yeah me too, few things I want to try out.
Hard sync! That was a great video. Very useful 👍
thank you
:DDDDDDD Supa Kewl - bedankt !
thanks
@@DivKid It not me bitness , but cat sound ignant,-
I've no idea what bedankt or ignant means. Bitness seems more obvious.
@@DivKid ha haa - I'm not Dutch, but I thought it might be easier to understand than a German "Dankeschön". Thanks for the nice patch inspirations.
Hard sync! Thanks for the tips! It would be awesome if this became a regular segment when you go out to events
Thank you and yes I've found "my thing" and I will absolutely be doing this at events I get to.
Looks like heaps of fun. ^^ I wonder how I can manage that clock start/stop self patching on a sequencer with a separate input for start and stop. . . I have a switch sequential switch that has stage gate outputs -- makes for a great flip flop -- that's a start. . . Even simple modules never fail to offer endless discovery. . . (side note, and I hope this isn't too far into heresy, but I actually just removed the two oscillators capable of hard syncing and replaced them with Stages and Plaits. Every other oscillator in my system uses a PLL for synchronization (Moog 921a/b clones and a dual Tidesv1 from Tesseract modular.) I haven't gotten rid of them, but now the only thing with sync in service is my Neutron. )
even sync in any way you like, there's definitely sync style tones in some of the Plaits stuff too. Thanks!
Hard Sync
I was hoping for a final patch tip from you
Excellent Idea for a video !!!
Cheers
that's a nice idea, end each one with a personal tip. I'll try to remember to do that next time.
@DivKid My favorite patch idea from you
is
Copying the sound source ( Sine )
before a wavefolder and mixing it back it to keep the Low end intact and more
Pure simple
Pure Gold
Cheers
Hard Sync.
Something I’ve been utilizing a lot lately with audio rate modulation is using it to modulate the level/wet-dry/gain on distortion effects. It gives the distortion a wildly different character
that's a bit like the transistor radio tip from Corry at ModBap. I can't say I audio rate dry/wet FX levels much, so I'll give that a go.
Hard sync!! Nice video. Feedback is a very good tip and using ringmods as a tremelo.
thanks, I use my Moogerfooger ring mod as a tremolo mostly so that was nice to hear from Jamie
Lot's off those tips are things you know but you forget sometimes. My TIP would be spend time patching Cv prossesors creatively. My sound and patching really improved with Blinds and the tiptop 257 CV processors. Falls in line with the attanuator Tip from your video. Mixing cv and letting cv control the attanuation really brings the sounds to next level.
And now, after a week's break, we're all waiting for you to recreate the 24 patches for us... 😉
no plans to do that, but I might take some of them and make things in the future.
Every one a gem! Hope I don't break anything trying these out...
nothing should break, I haven't broken anything, but I don't take any responsibility in the outcome of any mad feedback paths.
@@DivKid I was thinking more in terms of shattering glass & loosening fillings rather than gear but all at users own responsibility!
Imagine this is the first video you watch of Mylar Melodies…
haha I hope that's the case for some
Hard sync!
thanks!
Start patching. .. now!
do it!
This video has everything except the hard kitchen sync!!!
haha
Definitely a hard sync from me
thanks
Hard Sync!
ta!
Hearn STOLE my idea ! 🤨
Thief! Call the patch police, file a cease and desist or get him a royalty agreement.
Hard Sync’d me to put some faces on those voices! 😝
Yeah that's always good
MylarM always cracks me up.
Bit racist towards Yorkshire folks tho. 🤣
Aaaaah, I'm in a field!
I'm from yorkshite, yeh kno! eeeeee
@@mylarmelodies coal, pies, warm ale etc etc etc
as a Yorkshire folk himself, and me as a Yorkshire folk (can folk be singular?) I'll take it. I'm all for him embracing the deep depths of Yorkshire farmer vibe.
HARD SYNC 🙊

audio rate hard sync feedback😉
the boss level combination of all 24 tips
3:22 Bono?
I instantly went to Alan Patridge saying he knows Bono.
Hard Sink
hardest of bathroom sinks
HARD SYNC! Interesting how the majority of these tips are some variety of recursive patching, be it feedback, fm with the same oscillator, or modulating modulators with a synched modulator. Time becomes a loop.
Yeah that is interesting, a running theme that emerged unexpectedly.
Hard sync. We want MORE!!!
more to come from future events and of course new demos with are packed with patches to try too (not just on the thing I'm demo-ing)
Hard sync. This could be a series.
it definitely will be from all the events I can get to.
Mylarmelodies accent is way more pronounced. Which is the real mylar?
This is 50% real Mylar, get him near a muddy field, not in Berlin and he'll expose himself I'm sure.
I moved to west yorkshire - so in a few years I fully expect that to be my normal speaking voice.
@@DivKid oh dear. I'll have to be sure and avoid muddy fields...
Hard Sync...
thanks
What a great video! Some of my favorite personalities in the modular community sharing some great tips! I really don't use Feedback enough. Also, modulating decay is something I have been doing more! Good stuff!
modulating envelopes is a real favourite, feedback too. Well worth exploring.
Soft sync against mainstream!
against mainstream?
@@DivKid everything done by more than one person is mainstream! Hence, "hard sync" is mainstream.
two people outside digging a hole is then mainstream? Creating a populous hole digging movement?
Anyway, thanks! Soft sync is great too.
Bit disappointed, The Unperson actually looks like a person!
he's so un-un-person
No women pitching in?
Not everyone I asked wanted to do it, or wasn't ready and wanted me to go back (which I couldn't do trying to get around the event).
@@DivKid I wasn't having a go at you, btw. I guess it's more a comment on the state of things in this scene, which remains predominantly male despite being a bit more diverse than a few years ago. Great video idea, anyways.
I didn't take it that way, it's well worth asking and showcasing the range of lovely people in the space. It's good to be conscious of it.
💙
goat love to you too
@mylar.melodies lol
he went north Yorkshire farmer and I'm all for that!
Hard sync!
thanks
