Check out Red Means Recording. He is funny, informative, and makes musically interesting videos as well. Hard to beat this channel though, it’s one of my favorites.
That Dueling Sequences 3 part is so juicy. Im really appreciating the amount of work that must go into these demos man. If I hadn't already bought a Metropolix 2 days ago i would've been sold now.
This video is so rewatch-able. Every now and then I'll stick it on again to remind myself of what Metropolix can do, and just to bob my head to the beat.
Dude this is so next level. Using the pitch pre quantise to scale the melody up and down is such a good idea. I was trying to take the metropolix output to a VCA to scale the range of the melody, but it was losing all the slides and other details. This was a ridiculously good demo!.
What does this actually mean? Is he basically transposing the melody here? I assumed it was like raising an oscillator's by one octave but it seems like there's something else going on
The opening patch is already enough to get one. I bet your live case is going to change again! I thought I made a cool demo about Metropolix, but you clearly show how it was intended to be used :). F8kcing amazing.
Was just thinking the same thing. Bought mine 2 days ago and it turns out it was just in time. I was curious if he was gonna do a video. Very pumped for this.
tasty tunes and a compelling presentation of what could have been a dull instruction manual. shit man, you should get paid to do this! oh wait... congrats on this, was just as much fun to watch as v1.
Performing loopy mode is what I love about Steppy so looking forward to finally getting my hands on Metropolix next week as they are like gold dust right now.
Could not stand to listen to the loopop vid on this module, despite all the valuable info it contains. You just can't help but make a bopping (and still informative) demo for this incredible module. 'Face-melting' is a good way to describe it, too. The original Metropolis was amazing, this one looks to be absolutely transformational and unique in the world of music gear. It took me a little time to process the farewell of my old Metropolis--it's just so damn 'immediate' to make a jam--but once you get your head around the X, it's all of the original and so much more; Intellijel did a brilliant job with the succession (and so did you!). Cheers, Alex
This sequencer is an absolute beast , the new firmware does pattern chaining , quick styles , it is so easy and fun still allowing all the mods etc....transpose in octave in etc... i've also been enjoying the tempo change mod as Wes at intellijel prompted me to check it out and it is producing such crazy unique results as well , this thing is a riff machine on steroids hopped up on booze and jazz , such an incredible machine IMO thanks Intellijel
Jams are next level on this one. Nice beats throughout! Looks like suuuuch a fun sequencer but also to call it that almost doesn’t do it justice eh. Just thinking if this will make me part with my 0-Coast to raise some funds. Great info and scope of function as always.
Huh. Imagine if korg started coming out with weird volca standalone sequencers like this, or maybe one thats a tracker lsdj style, or an er-101 et cetera.
The key thing is Metropolix has the ability to really modify and augment the sequences as it plays (accumulators, probability, new playback modes) without needing any other modules to do it with - two Metropolises with external modulation could take you to similar places (although the Metropolix can do things the Lis never could), but takes like four times the modules - but arguably would be nice from a hands on perspective! So a tough call, I think Lix definitely is the one to go for if you don’t have a lot of supporting modules.
@@mylarmelodies it's a bit of work but I know a lot of folks would love to listen to just these jams post instructional vid :) also thank you for all your videos I really appreciate them.
Your first clip about the metropolis sold one to me. Your second one now comes after I "autobought" the metropolix. And now right after watching this video, I`ll rediscover it ... for hours ... and hours ... this was INSPIRING ....."!!!!!!!!
@@EY-zz7xj haha damn that Mylar- Maybe HE'S the gateway drug into Eurocrack! I haven't gotten into the X as much yet... maybe I've been waiting for a more instructional vid like this one...
Intense! Curious to see breakdown of how this changes your live rig assuming you are using it there. Had no idea about the GX! I’ve been doing a similar thing using Joranalogue Compare 2 to get pitch related gates. Have been using one for a couple months now, it’s incredibly complex while remaining so hands-on which is quite an achievement, more hands-on than the wonderful Vector even but with similar levels of automation madness. The accumulator and sequenceable custom scales absolutely rock.
can the Metropolix save sequences/patches for recall during a live set for example? and can it do microtonal/analog voltage tunings? can microtonal tunings be saved and recalled? or is there any sequencer that can do this?
what separates you from other gear youtubers is that your demos are actually musically interesting

How Intellijel haven't yet made a Metropolis-Atlantis standalone desktop groovebox I have no idea!
They work so beautifully together!
Yeah they should
@@jetpacksnake9741 add in a plonk for some basic percussion.
I’d buy it!
@@edjwise and a Steppy for triggering stuff around 😌
@@vinnowater and it could be modular, so it has flexible routing.
Absolutely SOLD
Just ordered mine a few minutes ago!
Never has there been a more pounding and energetic demo of a sequencer.
THANK YOU
What an informative, yet utterly face-melting 30 minutes!
hahaha so true
was lookin for the right term. face melting. Ja
Hahaha, trueee
your metroplis video is what got me into modular. Very much been looking forward to this video. Thanks for the jams!
That Dueling Sequences 3 part is so juicy. Im really appreciating the amount of work that must go into these demos man. If I hadn't already bought a Metropolix 2 days ago i would've been sold now.
I'd pretty much buy recordings of almost any of the stuff you were just twiddling with on here. Amazing stuff indeed!!!
The original metropolis video started my obsession with Euro and Intellijel gear. Terrified to think what this one will be capable of.
This video is so rewatch-able. Every now and then I'll stick it on again to remind myself of what Metropolix can do, and just to bob my head to the beat.

@@RedMeansRecording I've had lots of practice reading bedtime stories, my Gruffalo is pretty much stage-ready
@@mylarmelodies just to reiterate the jams in this are fucking transcendental
@@RedMeansRecording don’t sell yourself short my friend, your jams are of similar quality 😎
@@markbooth But with old wrinkly hands.. it just isn't the same
I told myself I wasn't going to get another sequencer... This is an awesome step up from the original! ... now I just need more hp and free time...
One of the best demos out there.... whiskers and gravy.
It’s something my Dad says that (the gravy and whiskers bit, he’s just slightly bemused at my videos)

@@Dolmens_Art Doing this pre-quantize means whatever the new value is it will stay in range of the pre-selected scale

Love Intellijel! Their modules are so fun and inspiring. Already a big fan of Metropolis, this Metropolix update looks insane! :D
glad that I bought it before this video, it‘s going to be sold out for a long time (haven‘t seen the video yet)
Was just thinking the same thing. Bought mine 2 days ago and it turns out it was just in time. I was curious if he was gonna do a video. Very pumped for this.
Great video. But not great for my future module plans
lucky bastard ;)
So glad to see you back! It seemed like all the modular channels went silent at the same time!
tasty tunes and a compelling presentation of what could have been a dull instruction manual. shit man, you should get paid to do this! oh wait... congrats on this, was just as much fun to watch as v1.
Wow that’s a fab piece of gear. Would love to own that and the Atlantis too. Great demos, some bouncy tunes!
Goddamnit you've done it again. I NEED THIS
Well it's a damn good thing you can't find this thing anywhere or else you would've convinced me to buy it!
Performing loopy mode is what I love about Steppy so looking forward to finally getting my hands on Metropolix next week as they are like gold dust right now.
I’ve had my metropolix for months, but now I need to go back and shed man! So many more possibilities with this thing than I’ve gotten to explore yet!
Talk about a worthy sequel! Absolutely loved this one man
Thanks Charlie 🙌
This is so amazing just like your first video. I‘d like to start eurorack again just to use this module

Great Demo!!! I love to watch your videos, even if I have to spend lots of money after watching them. Good choice !!!
See's the hand...hears "this.." Smashes the like button...because Mylar's module reviews are the best in all of modular media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most inspiring video about metropolix and modular in general - love it. Watched already so many times.
Amazing, thanks m8.
Arrived today. instant favorite module.
Welp, I'm back here watching this video for the 3rd time already. My Metropolix is on the way now. I'll send you an invoice :)
Best demo by miles. Sold

the best sequencer for the money imho
@@looseyfur74 agreed
@@smartassrecords still think so?
@@joshk2181 absolutely still think so , it is a riff spitting beast .

Half the demos here are better than most released tracks... as usual.
Intellijel make great stuff. I would love to try out this new sequencer
This is some of the best music MM had ever shown us. Sick, dude.
Still digging it. Holy dawn, so much electro love.
I keep finding this comment and agreeing with myself...
I knew this was going to make me want to drop money. 7:53 accumulators had me. jeeeesus
Thanks after several months of comparing sequencers I'm finally convinced MetropoliX is the one with XAOC Moskwa a solid companion.
I thought this was supposed to be a how-to demo. The energetic, absolute desk-shaking half-hour jam you gave us was waay better. Love it! Thanks
👍 Ha, we try to do a bit of both here but I think with the Metropolis/lix the proof is in the pudding
My favourite demo video, thanks very much.
My fav demo was the his first one, lol, and now this one.
This demo is a religious experience I keep coming back to
This video is epic from start to finish. Well done 👍.
Awesome demo! Makes me wanna get one more!
i know it's a metropolix video but you just sold me the planar ✈
It would be really cool if Intellijel released a broken out version of this with panels for each function for easier access.
Huh. Imagine if korg started coming out with weird volca standalone sequencers like this, or maybe one thats a tracker lsdj style, or an er-101 et cetera.
So cool! Honestly, how long did it take you before you could operate it so well?
I'll be playing this video on my phone under my pillow as I fall asleep for the indefinite future.
Can’t wait to receive my metropolix !
sweet! Im rocking the Ryk-m185
Dude, I was just listening and thought my phone went back to the live aphex video I was watching earlier!
Excellent stuff.. you have me sold!
Would have been super neat to demo this in the same cardboard "case" you used for the 1st one :D . Great demo!
I know right - alas it is gone, but I kept a piece of it
I hope you recorded all this and mastered. EP vibes.
These jams are delicious
Amazing demo!
best metropolix demo
Any links to live performances u do with all this equipment?
th-cam.com/users/livekjBbKWoTj3s A fave - there's a bunch more if you hunt thru the uploads including actual live ones to audiences etc
shivering, with antici....
`@ 9:21 perfect academic french 👏
Merci
9;42 is that mr Robotnik I hear?
Just candid. Would you choose this? Or a Metropolis, and a Pam? I will get a Metropolix soon enough and find out... Thoughts? love this mate!
If you don’t have any, I’d definitely get the Lix! Does far more in just one module
@@mylarmelodies I have a metropolis now, it looks like a worthy upgrade for sure.
And now we know why there's loads o Metropolises for sale!
FWIW I'm keeping the heck out of mine
@@mylarmelodies That doesn't surprise me in the least!!
When I want to make a similar style of music/sounds, which modules can I skip when I just have 208 hp (+1 1u row)? Best regards from Hamburg 😊
Wow 😮
it's making your table wobble!
My eurorack basically have 4 sequencer metroplix and acid rains constellations
Is this thing making all the sounds? Or does it just sequence other sound sources? New to modular
Just making the sequences, other things making the sounds! See recent video on 10 questions for modular people as a primer maybe?
Oh dear... I want one 🙁
And again, ACE!!!
Ya really quite good at making nice bleeps with slidey things. #Ace
classic mylar ace
And.... I just ordered one.
Epic!
i've got a pair of metropolis - how would you compare that to the 'lix?
The key thing is Metropolix has the ability to really modify and augment the sequences as it plays (accumulators, probability, new playback modes) without needing any other modules to do it with - two Metropolises with external modulation could take you to similar places (although the Metropolix can do things the Lis never could), but takes like four times the modules - but arguably would be nice from a hands on perspective!

i fully agree it is so easy to figure out as it is so hands on and so much feature packed and the new firmware is killin'
Waaaargh, the grooves from 14:43 absolutely blew my mind! Holy crap accumulators are powerful 🤯
This section is Sooooooooo SICK!!!!!!! (Sorry, this ALL is SICCC!!!!!!!!!)
It's a beast! Great demo Alex. Seems like, apart from retaining its old tricks it's now got interesting features for generative stuff, nice.
That's it, I'm getting this and Atlantis.
can the Metropolix save sequences/patches for recall during a live set for example? and can it do microtonal/analog voltage tunings? can microtonal tunings be saved and recalled? or is there any sequencer that can do this?
Taaaasty sequencer and jams… this makes me wanna ditch my Elektron sequencers and go modular 😅
