I hate to say it but the interest of Richard Devine adds some push to me getting this lol. Would love to see you (Richard) do one of your short clips with this thing. Maybe a little more down to earth for us humans to understand though 😂
Came from Richard Devine's recent instagram post! Probably will never get one (I'm not into eurorack) but just wanted to say how cool this product is and how much I appreciate the artistry that goes into making tools like this!!!!
I just picked this up at Velocity this last weekend in Seattle. The manual is well written and this video is fantastic. I want to thank the Mystic Circuits team for the very informative powerpoint presentation.
I got one cause IDM and the promo vid gave a good idea of what's possible. Just got to the clock manipulation section (my mind was already blown) and you said "that will get you through the basics" I'm like there's more! I'M TOO DUM FOR THIS! Really incredible and you clearly have to be a genius to dream this up. So sick. Great walkthrough too. 10/10
Since starting in Eurorack 5yrs ago Ive been wanting a module just like this. The closest one Ive seen is the Qu Bit Pulsar. I never bought one as it seemed too fiddly, and with button combos which I cant stand. Good work! Its in the cart
Thank you so much! I try to make things that I want to use in my own music and I just know that if a module has a ton of button combos or a screen which can't be mostly ignored I'm not going to use it as much. IDUM isn't quite one-knob-per-function as there is a hidden menu but I tried to make it as "set and forget" as possible.
Since first seeing this module I’ve been confused as to weather each channel could perform different functions independently. Like if it where truly a four channel device. Psych to hear your implementing this feature in a future update.
Yes this is definitely a goal that I don't see any issue in doing but it might take awhile as there are lots of small decisions that need to be made in order to do this effectively and then lots of testing to make sure everything is working right. Goal for next firmware is to iron out any bugs that pop up, increase the looper resolution and add 16 step sequencer support. Then after that I'll be working on the split mode and whatever other ideas come up by then.
Would be interesting to have a unit that like this that can output rhythmically relevant CV's / trig'd LFO's / envelopes / ramps etc rather than just gates.
your using the performer i cannot see this sequencer not working because of the rates it can achieve. have you found that it works in concert recieving the IDUMs clocks.
Sorry I'm not sure I understand the request, are you saying to make the ratchet speed stay the same during a modification or to make the ratchet always the same speed regardless of the param knob?
Great walkthrough, amaazing module! Got it yesterday and absolutely love it. I have a question: you mention to keep an eye out for firmware updates, but the link in the manual gives a 404 (and I wasnt able to find it via search), mind posting the link to this somewhere? thanks
Hello Hannes, apologies for the late reply. I was hoping to have the github page up and running by now but I've been so busy simply trying to keep up with IDUM orders that it has taken longer than expected and so it is still private while I clean things up a bit in there. I am very close to having the first firmware update ready at which point I will be opening up the github and the error message will hopefully go away. This is where the list of friendly sequencers will land as well.
I don’t typically do percussion in eurorack, but I’m trying to envision the best way to use some thing like this with melodic sequences and voices. I’m thinking clocking inputs on Renee or sending different gates out to different voice modules…what do you think? Also, sorry if I missed it in the video, but does it modify incoming sequences to change notes in its output?
The module mainly takes triggers in and out but can modify note sequences with the "clock" output which can scramble the order of steps in a connected sequencer.
is the Param knob position saved for each mode independently or is always effecting all modes with the same range? I could imagine that I find a Param range 8-12 useful for one mode and a 6-9 range for another mode. I read the manual, excellent written btw., but I´m still unsure about this.
Apologies just seeing this, the param setting is shared across all modes. I did my best to make sure that turning the knob right makes things crazier and turning it left makes things less crazy but yes sometimes the sweet spots do not line up between modes.
Its currently available! Check the link in the description. If you are in the EU we will be shipping to Escape from Noise next week so get in touch with them if you want a place an order early.
Looked for list of sequencers that IDUM plays nice with in vid description and on website but couldn't find anything. Can you point me to list? Was interested to see if Muxlicer was on list but would also like to see what else is on list. Thanks!
Im going to need some time to compile this, chances are it will need to go out into the wild before I can give more info on these things. Since muxslicer is digital but fairly simple I suspect it will work nicely. Its been tested with the ornaments and crimes sequencer, Make Noise Rene v1, Korg SQ1 and Make Noise 0-ctrl and it works nicely with all of those so far.
@@corticallarvae next time I drop off modules at Perfect Circuit I will try these modules out, I don't own either and am relying on borrowing/ trying out my friends modules.
I miss your old logo from 4 years ago a ceremonial magickal circle with circuit based symbols I cannot see why the IOT haven't expressed an Interest in using it for technomancy.;)
I think that my style and interests have transitioned from more occult/ spooky/ metal to more mystical/ harmonious/ techno :p. I still have some of the shirts for sale with the old logo.
@@corticallarvae I'm not familiar with this module, also its usually easiest for me to respond over email. Going to start a list of modules that work with IDUM soon (tm).
@@meudiademorte Working on it, I've been swamped with orders and was expecting to have some more time to work on IDUM by now. I do know that the performer (westlicht) doesn't work well with IDUMs clock manipulation. Let me know if there are any specific sequencers you want me to test with.
They technically could, its all based on an arduino nano which is way less powerful than the teensy that O_C uses. At some point I'll open source the code and maybe people will port it. But yeah the thing that sets MC apart is not the NASA level engineering, its that we have creative ideas.
This is the biggest bull shit I've ever seen. The idea is really good, but not everything is thought through to the end. Check out Patching Panda they did a better job with the particle.
This is such a tough choice. Can it run more than one mode at once? Kinda between this or a Pamela’s new work out, but the fact Pam’s workout has been out there awhile makes me know I won’t ever have trouble finding one of those, but $295 is slightly rich for my broke yet into modular self… BUT…. damn those modes are the things I’ve been trying to find
Currently only one mode is accessible. We will be working on adding multiple modes to a future firmware but its not going to be as simple as on Pams where you get a screen and encoder to set exactly whats going on, more like modulating the parameters will let you do more than one mode at once. Its important to keep in mind that the difference between Pams and IDUM is that Pams actually generates the triggers and IDUM only processes them so I hate to say you might get the most out of your setup by using...both.
@@MysticCircuits honestly I agree haha. I think both is eventually the way to go. I’m probably going to watch this video a few times and let my brain process it awhile but it seems like even if I were to still get confused and overwhelmed, I’d have a hell of a good time in that state of mind
Is it possible, be it currently or in the future, to jump between modes? I mean I get that’s probably an absurdly complicated request but that’s the nonsense my adhd comes up with haha
It can currently jump between modes when you modulate the mode CV input. Do you mean having modes be different for each channel? We are working on that in another firmware.
@@MysticCircuits I realized awhile after my comment it does clearly go between modes as you described which is incredibly awesome, I’m gonna pull the trigger and grab one. The other feature you mention would be a mind blowing update but the device seems totally worth it as is
Wow must get this one! Awesome!

this is so brilliant. love it (and the video manual really helps the concepts sink in).

Thank you for the kind words sir
Crazy cool. Perfectly explained, thx!

Love it...shouldn't it be called DDM ?
I can send a sharpie with your order if you would like to correct it ;)
Would be interesting to have a unit that like this that can output rhythmically relevant CV's / trig'd LFO's / envelopes / ramps etc rather than just gates.
We plan on expanding on this concept with CV sources and pitch sequencing in the future. Gates were just the most simple and obvious place to start.
your using the performer i cannot see this sequencer not working because of the rates it can achieve.
have you found that it works in concert recieving the IDUMs clocks.
How do you hook two IDUMS together?
Lol this man made the device too? Dayyyum...... THE SOURCE.
Just uploaded a video of my playing around after I watched this.
Would it be possible in the future firmware to remove ratchet speed from the incoming clock?
Sorry I'm not sure I understand the request, are you saying to make the ratchet speed stay the same during a modification or to make the ratchet always the same speed regardless of the param knob?
