This is so exciting! 2 days ago I was very confused about the ER-301. I tried watching this video and it didn't make any sense to me. It was so frustrating. I wanted to through the ER-301 out the window, no joke. I thought maybe I should sell it because it wasn't making any sense to me. Then, after keeping at it and continuing to practise even though it was frustrating, all of the sudden, out of the blue everything clicked. It's as if all my previously random and disconnected fragments of knowledge gained in those 2 "unfruitful" days suddenly hit critical mass and it was a eureka moment! The whole picture came into focus. When I came back to rewatch this video I understood 100% of it this time! Thanks so much for this Neil. I finally get the value of these videos. You're a legend 😎
Hey Jordan! I love hearing this, glad the floodgates unlocked! Usually it's just one thing hindering the 'aha!! moment' :) What could I have explained better that would have helped initially? I might make a new round of these as thi vid is almost 4 years old :) Cheers, Neil
@@NeilParfittMusic That’s super cool of you to ask! :) You always hear this question when it comes to the ER-301, which is, "What exactly IS it?" I had the same issue and for me personally, to help understand this question, right at the very beginning, it would have been helpful to see a bird’s-eye schematic of a “patch” (essentially like the screen you go to when you access “Locals”) so that I can see what-we’re-going-to-build/what-it-CAN-build all at once. It would be nice to go through the patch while remaining on that schematic. And then, after that, going into the screen of the ER-301 and building that same patch. This would give me a better idea of what we are doing in the tutorial. One of the biggest issues for me was just the fact that I was trying to learn v0.6 while watching your tutorials for v0.4. A lot of it looked so different! A lot of my frustration came from trying to bridge the gap of how to adapt the instructions from v0.4 to v0.6. One other thing is that I’m new to modular synthesis (been studying hard for the last 2 months though!) and some concepts and terminology I’m just unfamiliar with. I think it would be very helpful for people like me to clearly understand what basic synthesis knowledge you need to have before you can even start with the ER-301. Like if there was a good reference on the basics that you could point beginners to and say, “Look at this, if it’s not making sense, you need to learn this first. Once you do, meet me back here, otherwise you’ll be lost.” But like I said, once it clicked, these videos are so awesome! We all really appreciate them. And thanks again for offering to hear my thoughts. Cheers!
Wow it's almost like Ableton Live in a Eurorack module lol. I can't believe how incredibly intuitive this device seems to be to use. Great overview; thanks for sharing.
I see you picked up one of the 2HP limited edition Cat modules. You might have to plug that in when you start covering sampling. ;) Great work as always, Neil. Nice to see the updated ER-301 series started. I think these are so valuable to the O|D community and to people evaluating a purchase too
Great videos Neil, I have my Er-301 in the post, been working my way through your videos, Great to see a comprehensive one using the new firmware. Thanks!
Heh! Well, check out Video #35 1 2 and 3, #36 and #37 - I go over the the .3 firmware - but i really go into how the slicing works as well as the pedal looper in #36, and using the looper buffer for more advanced stuff in #37
Hey , I know this video is 2 years old , but I just got my ER-301 and as I am loving this video , I noticed I can't find a slew limiter on my device as demonstrated in this video around 13:20 . Is there like a central hub or something where I can go and download more tools? Loving it so far!!
Hrmmm - I dont have my system up atm as it's mid-move but yeah I'd check the Orthogonal Devices forum and just post the question - the community is amazing if you haven't been there yet! forum.orthogonaldevices.com
@@NeilParfittMusic I can find a limiter , but the limiter seems te have different function than a slew limiter. I will ask around on the forum , thank you 🙏 hope to see more videos of yours some day , they are realy helpfull and fun!
"Rabbit holey" - I like it! PS! Your cat needs either a) to be let out, b) food or c) to be petted, haha. Thanks for this, really helpful for a new user.
Any particular reason you chose to use the grid inputs for gates over the available "G" gate for channel 1? I assume just organization/demonstration-friendliness
Neil Parfitt no. I actually JUST got my ER yesterday and am going thru your vids for a quick tour of the works. Awesome vids by the way. Really helping with orientation. 👍🏿 This module is so sick. Waited a long time, years, before pulling the trigger. So worth it! Do you have a link for that stuff or a resources page? Thanks

If I never encountered this vid, I would have left my ER-301 collecting dust forever... Thank you sir
Getting my ER301 in two days. Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate these videos, Neil.
Thanks Johno!
Every time I update my 301 i need to watch these videos. Basically you're forever the man.

I’ve been looking for a 2hp Cat for a long time! I need!
I think they only made 100 of them

Yeah that 2HP is so absurd I just had to have it.. actually.. I'm embarrassed to admit that I bought 2! :)
Great videos Neil, I have my Er-301 in the post, been working my way through your videos, Great to see a comprehensive one using the new firmware. Thanks!
thanks Neil for taking the time to make those! can't wait for #2
Don't have the 301 yet, but really enjoyed watching the whole video, and am now convinced I'll be adding it to my system. Thank you!
great video Neil, a few tips in here that I didn't realize. thanks so much
Learning my module has been a breeze thanks to you, KUDOS!
thanks!!
Always wondered what this crazy thing was about, thanks!
Thanks, Neil. This was extremely helpful!
I love when hings become 'rabbitholy' :)
Genius ! - Many thanks Neil - You LEGEND !
Uhoh! Have you joined the rabbit hole of ER301? :) Welcome! Also - join the forum if you haven't already. It's a great bunch!
Thanks for these videos Neil!
Super useful tutorial, thank you. There's enough content here to play with for quite a while👍👍
"Oh, that's my cat" *looks at the module*
Have you been trolling your cat with that?
Yep!!

Really really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. =) Thanks
Thanks a million for this..
fantastic! Thanks a lot.
I could use an hour on sampler things and
an other hour on recorder/looper mode,
and an other and an other....

Powerfull. But this is exactly the thing I was (and still am) running from when I chose modular.
Still not sure tho...
@@traktorfaktor follow your own way! That's what makes modular great!
thanks so much for doing these

Could you do a video on the Scale Quantizer? I'm curious how this feature works on the module.
thank you so much!!! super helpful

Seems like an amazing module. I don’t understand why this isn’t readily available. So sad.
AdrianVino Brian / O|D is a one-man operation .
Neil Parfitt oh...I see.
Hire me...I’ll work for modules.
haha - I don't work for O|D! I just love the module!

Friendliness - and i do like the led for status. Otherwise, doesn’t really matter
what happened to the Bespoke stuff?
any chance of their being a Chorus added?
Do you have Joe’s “accents” pack? There’s about 25 or so invaluable FX, logic, and some full fledged synths
Neil Parfitt no. I actually JUST got my ER yesterday and am going thru your vids for a quick tour of the works. Awesome vids by the way. Really helping with orientation. 👍🏿
This module is so sick. Waited a long time, years, before pulling the trigger. So worth it!
Do you have a link for that stuff or a resources page?
Thanks
@@NeilParfittMusic found the stuff, thanks
Hey Neil thanks for the Videos~~~ i really appreciate you!!...How do i find the 4.0 firmware ? I looked all over the forums and see all the comments?
Look for this forum heading: V0.4.x Firmware Workout: Goofing off never felt this hard --- up at the top of the thread you'll find the link.
Thanks man and thanks again for all your work
