I am a metalhead and was surfing for some festival videos. Came across your channel for some reason. Man, I knew that modular synths existed, but it's somehow mesmerizing how you present your content and your passion. I love that it's showing that EDM can be so much more than just pressing the power button of your desktop PC. The complex triggering, cascaded triggering and modulation of all the variables, makes this craft so complex it's almost impossible to wrap your head around the fact that there are endless possibilities for a unique sound. In a way it's "fretless" soundscaping. I love it. You are really doing a great job. Actually I think this is metal AF. \m/ Thanks man.
Glad you came across my channel! I really much appreciate your kind words about my work and your comment! This soundscaping is like exploring an endless universe of sounds and sonics. Sometimes I do it "to fret", sometimes just "fretless". And I am so happy I find people that join me on the journey! You think this is metal? Then this is metal indeed! Thank you man!
@Hans Oslo Tommy Creep has a zine called Black Panels Only and its only the darker side of modular. It has various metal as well as industrial, general blackness, drone, noise based ear-rape, audio sacrifice, ritual, divination and more. Lots of unholy metal-modular unions out there. There is even a module in coffin shape with real dirt in it from Edgar Allan Poe's grave site to send your signal through to distort. If that's not metal, I don't know what is.
Glad you are back my friend! Excellent video as always. I spy a dfam in the background. I hope to see how you utilize that synth sometime. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Happy to see you made a video again! 🙏🏻 Hope, given the circumstances, you and family are OK. Hang in there! We do whatever we can to support your country 🇺🇦 As others stated here; I would be the first to visit your show if you play live; you are an amazing artist!! Unfortunately, although from Amsterdam, I live in the US now, so not much good techno here 😞 Keep up the good work 🎶😎✊🏻
Ihor, you're the best, man. You have inspired me to get BACK into modular after many years away. A decade ago, I got into modular for all the wrong reasons (gear lust), and not actually making music. Your Techno Breaks have broken down the techniques that I always wanted to achieve. Bravo and thank you! PS-What are your preferred patch cables? Very organized-nice job avoiding that spaghetti.
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you dig this format! Cables are erica synths and black market. I am trying to be organized with them and I avoid long cables. For video they may create a mess in the frame.
I'm a total noob when it comes to modular synthesis, and currently happy just using my Reason DAW to make music, but I just wanted to show respect for the DAW-less skills you show in this video. This stuff is fairly complex but you make it seem easy, no doubt from tons of practice, and an excellent grasp of signal flow and audio dynamics. I'm well impressed man. Keep on rockin' :)
I can’t believe how hard you go with superb taste “just” for a tutorial. A couple questions, I’m from Amsterdam as well. Do you play somewhere around here? I would love to hear your music live. Also, would be really cool to listen your songs in Apple Music, like the Modular creations 4 and a jam of the o ne in this video. Ps thanks for the last drop 😉
Thank you Luca for so many kind words, my friend! To be honest, I've never played live yet, but I'd love to. I am figuring out my way into that. Pretty much same goes about releasing music. Glad people enjoy my TH-cam show!
@Ihor, your audience is waiting!! It is almost unbelievable for me that you’ve never performed. You always come across to me as a seasoned performer/producer. Your work is so refined and tasteful, you need to make a set soon and get out there man! Always love your videos too, you are also a great teacher, and I’ve missed you, so I am really glad you’re back! Never stop! Btw, also from the Netherlands :) I hope to see you soon!
Good to see you're back, always love your videos. Thanks to you I started playing out with my modular last year. Just smaller parties, but really fun and the response have been great! Keep up the excellent work and keep enjoying music and life!
I have tried with many different synths and VST's to recreate your initial square-wave before you add anything else. There is layer of polish either from the Elektron or in post production that I cannot reproduce. Please let us know how to get that warm fat init bass.
Can you sample yourself saying "nice" and use it in a tune? Just at the end of a phrase in a loop... Also "but I think we can take it further" any time there's a section change.. Because, your voice sounds sick over your baseline and kick loop!
Nice Ihor! Impressive how much complexity you can get from seemingly simple sequencing & modulation. Would be cool to see you combine this with some other elements, say, adding an arpeggio melody from the Korg, etc.
Wow - the patch looks simple but you got quite a bit going on there - and more to the point it SOUNDS good I know going modular is a TERIBLY expensive addiction - but I cant stop looking :) :) :)
Very very nice Sound I subscribed to Your c Channel about 2 Years ago . . .I watched my first t Tutorial from You about Elektron Devices. Back then it helped me a lot and now 2 Years later i watch Your Tutorials again but this time with Modular Devices. . . . and Your Sound still packs a Punch 👍❤
Hi Ihor hope your well my friend, you’ve been quiet for to long so looking forward to your next exploration Modular Quest,as I asked u to do a case of modules, different Elements that u would take out to do a Live gig, choice of modules??? Control elements of such modules in isolation to morph form a unified sonic Pallette Again wishing u well, many thanks Martin👍🆒🎶🎶🎶🇬🇧🔱👁🌈🕸⚡️🙏🙏
Thank you my good friend Martin. I am indeed on the "not planned" break with my creations on TH-cam. But I am coming back and I hope to do so soon! Thank you for the ideas that you always share with me. Thanks for the support. It means a lot to me.
This is the most helpful video. Thank you! If you have time, could you make a video about making a baseline sidechained with deep plucked bass onto a drum track with a lot of swing ? Maybe something with short snappy off beat snares in a « tech house » type of vibe? I am very curious to see which modules you would use for that type of rythme!
Hello Ihor hope you are all good 👍 I was wondering your opinion on the high quality music daw apps ,I have GStomper studio its pretty awesome powerful virtual analogue synth and drum machine /sequencer , any views on these type of music creator devices cheers
Hey! In all honesty I've never used GStomper or any other studio apps. I guess you mean the once on the phones, right? Perhaps the only thing that I use on my phone is a Flip Sampler. And it is dope!
Really inspiring and great sounding. Your whole approach seems an almost perfect implementation of the expression "less is more" - although the amount of work you put in to make it breathe is staggering. Well done Sir!
Sorry bud, a little correction. 2 pole and 2 peak filter mean different things. 2 pole filter means filter is reducing signal at the cutoff frequency for -12 db. Belgrad has this option toggleable, so you can set the filter to be either 2 or 4 pole. 2 peak filter is a filter with two resonance controls, allowing for more complex signal processing when filter is in any of the bandpass modes. I am not 100% sure but each resonance can be assigned to one of the rolloff frequencies. Nice bass and good video though.
You are absolutely right! My bad on mixing the term up 😊 Thanks for the correction! In Belgrad you can control the balance of the peaks and also the span/distance between them. Basically with the balance control going to either extreme you could achieve something close to what you mentioned I believe.
@@IhorMedia Belgrad reminds me (well, aside from being the city I was born at:) of ladder filter on Moog Matriarch - well, filters, plural , and I believe xaoc was at least partially inspired by it - where in serial mode both cuttoff points, for the low cut and high cut have their own resonance, creating those two peaks. I wasn't trying to be petty and just correct you for a sake of it, you make great videos, I just thought some people might mix poles and peaks, especially people new to the filters.
"If it makes people dance, you pretty much done" LOVE THAT, Great explanation of everything man. I'm getting into sound design with modular synths and this video has been by far the most helpful
Missed you brother. Happy to see you back!

Imagine what goes into making something like this sir th-cam.com/video/SqayDnQ2wmw/w-d-xo.html
The funny part is the ignorance of "metalheads" then it clicks, eventually.. ..at some point.. Haha I was also a "metalhead"
Welcome back my friend. Much love! 🙏🏻💚
Thank you Miles! ❤️
I don't know how the heck I got here, but I sure am glad I arrived. You are extremely knowledgeable and very clear about what you're doing. I love it.
Glad you got here! Thank you for your kind words!
Have been waiting for a new video to drop for a while, and you never disappoint. Keep up the awesome work, it is really inspiring
Thank you Nick! It is important for me to hear such words.
Glad you are back my friend! Excellent video as always. I spy a dfam in the background. I hope to see how you utilize that synth sometime. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Yes! Nice catch!
Welcome back Ihor, we missed you!
Thank you Pat! I missed this too!
Great. Very Daniel Avery sounding. Really enjoyed it.
Hey Santiago! Thank you! I love Daniel Avery ❤️
Brilliant video. Really triggered some avenues of exploration
Nice!
Welcome back! great to see you again, hope you and your family are keeping well.

That bass line is so dank. Really feeling it. I like seeing your creative process 🙌
There is so much in this video, have to watch it again.
So Great ihor 🎉! Please make a Tutorial for tiny techno setup for Beginners. Thats would be nice.
Noted!
Happy too See new amazing content from you. All the Best!

I just spent this whole video wondering why his hair was upside down.
lol
So glad to see you back! Hope you and your family is good. Love your groove!
Thank you Hugo!
Love your stuff. There can never be enough content about basslines
awesome video!
Filter ducking equals win.
Awesome stuff!! Thanks for the cool videos!
Amazing content as always !
So glad you’re back. Peace.
Peace, my friend!
Everytime I'm astonished how easy you can produce amazing sounding music! Please continue.

Thanks bro! I don't have LIP. Maybe some time haha
Hello from Siberia)
Ihor! ❤
Man, this is SO inspiring!!! Thank you Ihor!
Really enjoy your videos. The Belgrad is such an underrated filter....
Good to see you're back, always love your videos. Thanks to you I started playing out with my modular last year. Just smaller parties, but really fun and the response have been great! Keep up the excellent work and keep enjoying music and life!

So nothing got better in the past year except our music. Plus ca change plus c'est..... Anyway, thanks for another great video Ihor.
Can you sample yourself saying "nice" and use it in a tune? Just at the end of a phrase in a loop...
Also "but I think we can take it further" any time there's a section change..
Because, your voice sounds sick over your baseline and kick loop!
Haha! That is a brilliant idea! "Nice! But We Can Take it Further"
Yesss! ❤️
Such a great video.
Nice! Those 20min just flew by! Now I realize my bass-lines are boring. :)
Finally u back bro ! Nice video💛✨
🙂🙂👍👍‼‼
Nice
Nice Ihor! Impressive how much complexity you can get from seemingly simple sequencing & modulation.
Would be cool to see you combine this with some other elements, say, adding an arpeggio melody from the Korg, etc.
Thank you for your kind words and a good tip! I appreciate you!
Amazing video, thank you very much! „If I had more envelopes 😂…“
I’m glad to have found your channel, subbed.
Welcome back. Awesome sound and really catchy bassline melody. Even after 20 Minutes straight I missed it when the video ended. Keep it up!
excellent -- thank you for this tutorial!
Great. A lot of knowledge. Too bad I'll never learn that... 😃
how bassline important is
Amazing Ihor! Please keep jamming
Erica synths Bassline. Period.
The second you put in the ducking and then the kick...holy shit, that groove! Love it
Nice!
Another excellent t-shirt my dude. Great video.
I love the sound but I don’t hv a modular synth, are we able to do it with subtractive synth like moog sub37?
Wow - the patch looks simple but you got quite a bit going on there - and more to the point it SOUNDS good
I know going modular is a TERIBLY expensive addiction - but I cant stop looking :) :) :)
really sick bass sound man !!! I'm so impressed
Oh you're back !!! Really good to sée you
i love your work and this sound, wonderful.
you're the man ! thanks again for your vidz
Welcome back! Love your videos
Very very nice Sound
I subscribed to Your c

Nice to see you back :) . Slava Ukraini!
Good to have you back Ihor, hope everything is okay. Again another great video and nice jam !
Thank you my friend!
Damn that is pretty bass solid tutorial right there :O
love these videos man. Thanks so much ;)
Hi Ihor hope your well my friend, you’ve been quiet for to long so looking forward to your next exploration Modular Quest,as I asked u to do a case of modules, different Elements that u would take out to do a Live gig, choice of modules??? Control elements of such modules in isolation to morph form a unified sonic Pallette
Again wishing u well, many thanks Martin👍🆒🎶🎶🎶🇬🇧🔱👁🌈🕸⚡️🙏🙏

Feel the Music?? YES! Love it! , Gefllt mir sehr gut , zum verlieben !
I think this guy likes XBox
man you are making fantastic work !
Thanks Ihor for explaining meaning of probability. BTW that bassline is sweet.
Thank you!

Your an inspiration Ivor, nice vibes
New Ihor video = instant watch. Welcome back, hope your friends and family back home are safe.
Thank you Peter!
What a baseline man, I'll have it in my head all night.
Hello Ihor hope you are all good 👍 I was wondering your opinion on the high quality music daw apps ,I have GStomper studio its pretty awesome powerful virtual analogue synth and drum machine /sequencer , any views on these type of music creator devices cheers

Your voice is amazing, it will go well with any track if you voice over. Almost sounds like ‘my name is Giovanni giorgio’ voice dudeee.
Hahaha! Thanks :)
hehe bassline go brrrrrrrrr
lol
Use an LFO on a MIDI track in the Envelope shape and send to the CC out on MIDI 1U to get the 5th envelope 🙂
Yes, this is a great option as well!
My face just melted off my head.
Oh no! Not that you get kicked out of the synth-influencer-circle if you release a video without a Syntakt?! 😛
Technically there is a Syntakt in this video LOL
I'm glad you are back!
i want to start with a simple patch…
Absolutely killer bassline! Such a great vibe to it and so much fun to watch you jam with it. Going to try to do something like this in VCVrack.
Must be absolutely doable in VCV! Have fun!
Really inspiring and great sounding. Your whole approach seems an almost perfect implementation of the expression "less is more" - although the amount of work you put in to make it breathe is staggering. Well done Sir!
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate it!
hell Ihor, THIS SLAPS!!!!
Awesome❤❤❤ quality
Fk yeah man you're back! Was worried about you.
❤️
Gorgeous little jam there and great walkthrough. Need to turn that into a track for sure.
Thank you!
dude... welcome back!
good to have you back!

For to make techno rap
Always top notch

I will be trying some of these techniques with the Metropolix sequencing a Neutron synth. Should be fun.
Ducking works ! i'm moving on my chair :)
Nice! 🔥
