Excellent as ever Marc. One small thing with the sequencer, if any viewers don't know (I'm sure you do Marc), it can be controlled via the external clock in. So it will step on every time it receives a trigger. Which means you can swing it or do all kinds of interesting rhythms beyond what the sequencer can do on its own.
I suspect this Mr Fingers track is doing such a thing here, it sounds like the triggers from the drum machine are clocking a sequence that has more notes than the triggers per bar so as to give a polyphasic(?) bassline. th-cam.com/video/pEXhhv019N0/w-d-xo.html
@@piynubbunyip it's usually a good idea to include track names and such when posting direct links... Because links get changed and taken down. As this one has.
Thx for these six videos on the Sh-1O1. Recently got a Rolands Boutique SH-O1a it’s literal little brother. And this helps as the manuals tell you what, but not why or how to use them. This help a lot
you missed the key transpose works on the sequencer playback and arpeggiator too. Hold it while the sequence is happening and it'll transpose the whole key. Also, if you move the Transpose Toggle switch while programming the sequencer, it records that note, so you can write over the range of the synth
Marc, dude, of course Hold is to hold the arpeggio and Transpose is to transpose a running sequence... you so couldn't care less for automation that you managed (for once) not to be exhaustive in your demonstration!!! ;) still the most informative and "groovyest" synth channel out there
The biggest problem with the 101 sequencer is, that you have no visual feedback how many steps you already entered. This oftly ends up in odd rythm figures. There has to be a possibility to limit the steps to 8, 16 and 32...like the 303 does.
Hey, ArtFluids! I can guarantee you that at some point in the future, I will be doing a lot of videos on what people call "West Coast Synthesis." [I actually don't call it that, as it employs most of the same principles as that people call "East Coast Synthesis," only a different intention and application... and I'm sure a lot of people will be irritated by my stance on that, but I spend every day working with Buchla synthesizers now, and that's the realization I've had] Don's modular design, intention, and choices in functionality are fascinating, and I'm looking forward to doing a lot of videos about it!

piynubbunyip Good example. Yeah, I wonder what to call that, it's technically neither phasing, nor is it a polyrhythm. Must have a name.
Yeah, it is pretty tricky and wonder if there are any examples of it in pre-electronic composition? I love how it makes my head feel.

"I don't use the sequencer ..." "OK this pretty cool ... " 😂I think it's a lot more fun to tweak the knobs when you don't have to focus on the notes.
You work for Buchla. You can't say sequencers are bad any more.
Hi, thank you for the great video. Can you play muted notes on the sequencer of sH-101? Or only real notes?
This was the grooviest episode yet! I just need you to sync this sequence with the clock signal from the Buchla Music Easel.
Another great video man! Would love to see you take on the SE-02.

Any chance you could do a series on the Dave Smith Poly Evolver?
Marc can you do some videos about West Coast synthesis?

sequences are not necessarily bad..
But why the dedication?
thx👍
jeesh dont be such a hater on sequencing..
for real... especially after watching these videos is showing that he's no keys player.
