Thanks for the upload! I teach electronics at university and I plan to make my students design a eurorack compatible sampler as a project. As I don't own one, your video gave me some insights on what CV input the sampler should get.
By far the best, most useful, most instructive channel I've come across - can't wait to see the video on drum samplers - this is all great, thanks! 🤖👍🔊
Woaw, the quality of this video is astonishing. You did such a great and extensive job at explaining what's possible with sample players in modular. Very inspiring.
So much smart things in your videos and well explained! This is the third I watch in a raw my brain is like ”System overloard ÷ Warning - System overloard” thanks & keep going mate 💪🤙
Thank you! This module really opened up a lot of sounds and fun for me in messing around with sounddesign and even more for performing. Glad you got something out of it :)
Thank you! And guess so, modules like the Morphagene are a lot more popular, but I really like the straight forwardness of the 4MS, excelent for planned live performances.
Love the graphics! Have you considered matching the color standard from Patch & Tweak bible? yellow = audio, red = triggers and gates, gray = 1/V oct CV, blue = all other CV, green = random clocks.
Thanks! Actually did :) Eventually went with these colours because I had the plan to be able to mach my graphics with the cables I use in real life, as I like those, but so far that's been to much of a stretch really. But now I think ill stick with it :)
I would like to have seen something on the Disting Mk IV as I’ve found it a little restrictive as a sample player- all samples are looped and there seems to be no way to trigger one-shots. Fortunately, I have an Erica Synths Sample Drum on the way…
Yeah, planned it for some time, but it's complex. The Disting has (if i recall correct) four different sample modes. One is the looping style with playback speed. But there's also a one-shot mode and a mode with 1v/oct tracking. It's not the most acurate though, so if you like to do drums and tight sample stuff I think you will be very happy with the Sample Drum!
What do you think about the Erica Synth Sample Drum? I see you don't mention it, i like it by the fact it has a screen so you can visually know what you're doing
Hey there! I love Erica Synths, all solid stuff. I focussed a bit more on longer recordings and non-drum tricks in this one, but the Sample Drum is great for percussive sounds. Especially being able to record and edit those recordings on screen.
Ok I'm hooked,.your one.of the very very few that breaks down, function, & hands on, that is easy to follow & not like the mass that want to impress with lingo to a select few for that thank you, im new to patron never.been can you walk thru the steps to add a monthly donation 🙏 😀
Glad to hear you liked it! It's so nice to recieve a lot of positive comments on these videos. For Patron should be easy. Go to my patron page, select a tier/amount for monthly donation you are comfortable with, and follow the steps on screen for payment :) www.patreon.com/monotrail
How do you about recording your samples, what format, tools, mic's, I have a sample drum with a micro SD card, but struggle with transferring them to the SD, you think a Zoom recorder , just wondering quickest cheapest best & format, how do you recorded samples? thank you for your channel, once you get past the other you tube videos, "from other you tubers" my new car priced equipment you were like walking thru the coat closet into Narnia, finally some one that makes since ...
@@MonotrailTechTalk I hope you can leave the every day grind & teach more, Patron done I walk the Camino to Santiago Spain every 4 years, with my kids on the cheap (working class sort needs more euro travel) 2022 plan on Running with the Bulls, what great field recording that would make , plus I need more scars God Bless !
Haven't tried it yet but I suppose it would be cool to sample CV, like sequences or complex envelopes and then manipulate them with the Start, Length and Reverse and maybe even pitch?
great video but it's not fair at all to describe Nebulae as a 'happy accidents' machine together with Morphagene. quite the contrary, in contrast with MakeNoise's pseudo-experimental paradigm where they basically do not give you all the normal controls, and bunch a few of those together under a single knob with preset behaviour (like the morph does), Nebulae has all the basic sampler/looper controls exposed and those behave in a very logical and predictable way. this really allows one to be experimental if they so desire. and it's the same with 4ms modules, both STS and DLD and Tapo. on the other hand, MN really force users to constant happy (and often sad) accidents. Nebulae is also pristine sounding (well, within the Eurorack limited standards that is), while MN gives no shit about the noise floor. finally, both Nebulae and Morphagene are more loopers than samplers, closer to DLD in a way than to STS which is a sample PLAYER rather
Hi there! Thanks for the update. Have to admit I wish I had time to properly explore and deep-dive with all modules! Hope it didn't come across in a wrong way though. I wanted to mention Nebulae and Morphagene as they are popular modules and interesting options! I use the straight-forward sample select options a lot, but other and or altarnatives are not less-valuable ideas :)
@@MonotrailTechTalk surely not wrong, and generally your approach to videos is the most clear and educational. I just wanted to expand or correct for those who's got interested but could probably be little bit misguided. MN steals all the shows often ;) and I was sorta wrong myself to claim the N is closer to DLD, that's a stretch, beg a pardon. take care

Glad to hear it, and sounds like a great project, would be curious to see what comes out :)

Thanks for letting me know, really motivates me to go on!

Hey, glad to hear it! Comments like these make it worth it, cheers!
I will watch your other content for sure. And consider Patreonizing you

Thanks for letting me know! These nice comments are really the motivation to keep doing so :) All the best!
Superb. As usual!
Thank you :)
favorite tuber by far! always love your videos
Thats lovely to hear! I hope to get back to making videos really soon!
Thanks for making this!
You're welcome! I'm happy making these at the moment :)
Great video, especially the part about timing the textures with a vco
Thanks! Glad to hear it brought you somehting :)
Really great, great video!! Opened my eyes to sampling possibility in eurorack. Very clear descriptions and great examples!! Wonderful stuff 😊
Thank you! This module really opened up a lot of sounds and fun for me in messing around with sounddesign and even more for performing. Glad you got something out of it :)
Great demonstration, really well done mate.
Thank you, glad you liked it, cheers!
Clean tutorial style! Straight to the facts, no extra bs, clear instructions and quality graphics. Keep it up, it's much appreciated!
Thank you so much! Glad to hear it's working out for people and appreciated :)
Excellent video! STS has not gotten the love it deserves IMO.
Thank you! And guess so, modules like the Morphagene are a lot more popular, but I really like the straight forwardness of the 4MS, excelent for planned live performances.
So much great information presented clearly means I'd better subscribe right away. :)
True story :) Glad to hear you liked it, and welcome aboard!
Love your videos!
Glad you like them! And thanks for watching :)
Thanks for this great video :) Even if I dont have a modular, Im watching every vid
Glad to hear it :) But I might infect you with the modular bug though...
Haha im already infected tho 😅
Very helpful; thank you~!
You're welcome! :)
Hmm, it tracks chords surprisingly well.

That would be cool! But I'm pretty sure the 4MS doesn't record/playback cv, but that's worth checking out!
Erica Black Joystick 2 can record CV in the form of movements made with the stick itself. Super cool.
I don't have frogs in my backyard but sometimes a possum. Gibt es diese in Deutschland?
Nope, we have foxes though, and raccoons :)

Idk, only 600 samples? 🤔😋
Yeah, it's a rough ;)
