Noodlebox: My new favourite sequencer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ม.ค. 2022
- I am a big fan of alternative ways of sequencing, especially those with grids - or with a grid style, and so when I spotted the Noodlebox at Signal Sounds.com I knew I had to buy it. The Noodlebox is a dedicated standalone sequencer specifically designed with Eurorack systems in mind. It has a ton of features, is nice and portable, a really interesting interface, and is probably the best value modular sequencer out there.
In this video I talk about why I bought it, give a bit of a demo of its basic operations, and highlight some of its most interesting features (as well as a couple of things to consider if you're interested in buying one).
--- I post all of the music I make, including WAV stems; sample packs; Dirtywave M8 song bundles; collections of video textures; early access to videos; and a whole pile of other stuff on Patreon. I know I know, I hate doing this as well, but if you like what I do and want to get more of it, while also helping me offset some of my ludicrous gear purchases, this is the best place to do it:

If you just want individual sample packs or downloads of video footage to use in your own projects, get them on Gumroad here: gumroad.com/allmyfriends
If you're in the market for new gear, my favourite place to find new and interesting synthesizers and other electronic music gear is Signal Sounds. They are based in Glasgow, but ship all over the place and often have stuff nobody else does. Find them at www.signalsounds.com/
If you're in the US and shop at Perfect Circuit, you can click through to see what they have in stock just now through my custom link. I get a small commission for any purchases made, which keeps me stocked up with whisky and beard oil. link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/...

brilliant review! i make these things :) in the video you said you emailed me about features but i don't think i got the email - could you send again cheers/jason
Hi Jason! Thanks for making such an awesome device. I'll resend that email over just now. I was probably routed to spam for being a dodgy character.
p.s. I've pinned your comment :)
@@StephenMcLeod haha cool thanks! after checking for your message i actually found my email forwarding was broken.. i think its fixed so if you already resent can you do so again.. sorry!!
@@hotchk155 Ah dang! I'll resend again. I'm glad I was able to help with something haha.
Such a cool sequencer, I really love how this device looks and works! A great demo (with sweet dulcet tones as always! 😁) 🙌🐀
The Noodlebox is so dope, I see you using it a lot! Question.. did you get this in 2022 or end of 2021? And what was your favorite gear purchase of 2021?! The M8? Just curious. Mine has to be the C64 and SEGA stuff! 😎🐀
Thanks again! I got it at the end of 2021. The M8 was definitely my best purchase though :D
relaxing dulcet tones, noodlebox looks fun.
Synth ASMR.
I have no need for yet another sequencer, but definitely interested in that haggis.
Burns night is coming up!
I've one (No. 150) and I also love mine! It is such a joy to use both aesthetically and feature-wise; I love the Euclidean gate patterns, and the 'loop' length, position, and reverse functions.
Nice to hear from another noodler!
Way too high brow for my simple mind but this bit of kit looks sweeet. Love Noodles.

Great piece of kit - I love physical sequencing gear.
Hell yeah. Hardware sequencers ftw.
@@StephenMcLeod it’s much like the Analog Four’s sequencer, which is wonderful in itself.
Luv your dulcet tones - I want a Noodle box myself
They are genuinely great. Definitely into it.
Wow this is awesome!
Thanks so much!
I definitely love "weird" sequencers :D Thanks for sharing! I have the first Future Retro Zillion sold to the public >_>
Hell yeah. I've never seen one of those things! They look wild.
nice box! 🍜🍱
The best!
Aye, the Haggis is in the fire for sure!

If I understand your video right, one could use that to trigger chopped drum loop on a mono phonic sampler like a microgranny. I guess every values would be control on the unit. I don’t know enough about the microgranny, maybe another midi layer on the noodlebox can control the values. In fact, does the noodlebox can send CC?
Yep! I mentioned that a bit after the basic workflow stuff. You can send out modulation as well - either by CV or MIDI CC. :)
More weird sequencers please
Your wish is my command.
now this is going too far
you and me have got somewhat of a similar taste in gear
but there's a tiny bit of difference between us
you own these gear, I don't 😂😉
nice introduction video, keep up the good work brother 👌😊✌
Hahaha thanks for the kind words!
@@StephenMcLeod 😊🙏✌
BMO Gameboy 😱
Hell yeah!
YOu are in big love i guess .D Greetings mate
It's awesome!
oh that cheat sheet looks good, was wondering how heavy it'd be on the button combos.
what's your favourite box of actual noodles? I lean towards Pad Thai these days.
It's actually not too awful. I'm wheat intolerant so my choices of actual noodles are slim :'(
@@StephenMcLeod argh, what a drag!
I think I got one of the last ones available on the internet a couple of month ago.
Lucky pup!
@@StephenMcLeod I ended up having to get it from Elevator Sound's EU store, which meant I had to pay a bit extra to import it, but I'm very happy with it.
Is that a midi over trs cable you’re using? Where’s that from?
For minijack MIDI you can just use any old bog standard 3.5mm aux cable, so long as both devices use the same kind of MIDI standard (type a/b).
@@StephenMcLeod lol yeah there's the issue. Or type C, in the case of expert sleepers
Fun fact:
Every song ever is in the key of E
Don't come at me with your music theory!
favourite sequencer? how dare you betray M8! /s
Haha I think of the M8 as a whole different thing. It is king
