Nice video concept. It's definitely a great paradigm to start with. The 3 module setup you use is a perfect example, as is the classic "D set" that Roland suggested back in the day (112, 121, 130, 140, 150). You can then dive off into the more complex stuff from there. Physically patching signal paths and control signals was such an important learning tool for me when I first tried the 100m. It explains things so much better than words can. Nice cases too btw. Looks very neat.
Patching was the better, more rapid why i could understand everything and learn what modules embraced your style/project, and what didn’t. Really-thanks heaps Tim!
I’ve been fighting the urge to get into modular synths for months! Watching a ton of videos on TH-cam just makes the whole thing more confusing! Gotta say this video really has cleared some of the confusion. 👍🏽🙏🏽
Don't fight it. Just embrace the dark side of synthesis. Honestly, I don't make much money, but I put what I can back all the time and have a full small inteligel palette now, and have an empty Moog 104hp case waiting for modules. The palette is focused on generative stuff. So I have a synth that plays it's self now. I'm hoping it can go shopping for me soon, and at some point, go work a damn job for me. The point I was making is you can spend little bits at a time and it doesn't take too long before you have a sweet synth. And you are obsessed with the thing. So many TH-cam tutorials, so many hours on the toilet reading online manuals
Don’t fight it… just do it. Tim’s videos have been a HUGE asset to me and gave me the confidence to venture forth in this thing called modular. I went in on the Behringer 112,130,140 and 150, with a blue lantern Hermippe VCF module, now I do believe I need the Behringer 182 Module to get the desired affect I am use to.
I just ordered that sequencer module. It didn't occur to me to use it for gates. I bet it would make a dandy drum sequencer for kick and snare. You could then feed the gate output into a clock divider/multiplier to trigger your hats. I am super excited to start playing with this model. I saw a video where someone was doing audio rate stuff with the sequencer. It will be fun to experiment with the sequencer as a VCO of sorts. Looks like you get a ton of value for money in that module. I already have the system 100 module with sample & hold, rig mod, and LFO. I definitely plan on getting more system 100 modules given their price and my income level. Thanks a ton for making this video.
I finally bit the bullet and started my modular journey… your videos have been incredibly helpful! These Behringer units are the direction I’m going right now, for a synth module at least. A drum/ percussion unit will be after. Thank you so much for these wonderfully helpful vids.
Tim, this is a perfect tutorial for the Behringer System 100: clear, smooth and calm and perfectly executed, both visually and content-wise - just what I needed before taking the plunge! I have now ordered a set of S100 components to start building my own System 100 setup. Thanks mate!
Full disclosure, Tim. I don’t have much interest in Eurorack as I already own a good sized MU format modular. But this video is excellent. Your understanding and logical approach to the confusing world of modular is a benefit for all viewers, regardless of what gear they end up using. Subscribed.
Thanks for this video, I just got a eurorack and this simple setup you show here made it easier to see what you are doing then watching a video with a super sized rack.
Tim this is a fantastic video and just what I’ve been looking for. You’ve opened a door by providing insight and understanding. I’ll definitely start with the modules you suggest and take it from there. Really looking forward to more videos in this series. Thank you for this. Much appreciated.
Tim, your videos are so amazingly useful and I love the way they are made. It's such a pleasure to watch them. I'm getting so much more out of my own Behringer system 100 now thanks to you. It's such a long time since I fiddled with the Roland ones and I only had very basic modules, so I was kind of lost in the beginning, until I watched your videos. I can see now that I could have gotten a lot more out of my old system back then than I ever thought was possible. Thank you so much for these videos.
Really good stuff Mr. Tim. Very helpful and you've taught me a lot. I'm getting learning a ton information from. Also those little box racks are perfect for what I'm planning. Thanks so much. Your are the man.
Wow mate, great video! Thank you so much for sharing. What a time to be alive. I've been using software VCV Rack (and reason) for a while but wanted to dip my toe back in the analogue / modular world. Wow It's changed a lot :) Great video thank you !
Worth every minute of time watching this video soo much to be learned from this great example of an educational video. And add to that some great sounding music!
Just gotta say Tom ..thanks for these video tutorials ! .. i`ve been thinking of getting into this modular thing for a while now but have been put off by the perceived complexity of it all ..but your explanations and presentation style are a breath of fresh air !.. i`m now ready to take the plunge !...thanks again Steve
That was great. Just the perfect video for a noob like me. Really appreciate that. Too many videos show a patch but never truly explain it. Thanks again!
I enjoyed this so much. It also made me appreciate Range selection to 2600 style frq slider, ms2000 three layer sequencer, effects of nts1 or alesis micron. Your videos are always triggering ideas and very inspirational
What I like about this little sequencer is that you can influence the speed of the sequence with CV. I bought two of these and one controls the speed of the other.
Tim you found the perfect cases for those Roland-esque modules. Really makes it look like the OG 100m stuff. EDIT : 11:40 and then you said exactly what I was thinking.
People hate Behringer because of their awful business practices. It doesn’t take much digging to find people that have spoken out against the company over many years of shady activity. I like his videos too, but I would never buy a Behringer product until they have at least a few years of not stealing peoples work under their belt. Hopefully they do change, I would love to see that. Hope that answers your question 😊
Thanks for posting this! The world of Eurorack is pretty daunting, and this video really is a great primer for starting in modular. I ended up building the same modular shown here (Behringer 110, 140, 182, and a Doepfer low cost case), and it cost me just below $400 US. I lucked out and found the case for $90 on Reverb, and ordered the modules through Thomaans. It really is great value for money, and just great fun all around. Thanks again!
I need more time in the semi-modular world before even seriously considering this an an option- but this would be the place to start. Great video, great looking modules at an attractive price, and- here- great sounds. Thank you- I think...
Very nice introduction , sound of these modules are very creamy and spacy -endless sequencing is perfect way to enjoy them. I supplemented mine with VCF-505 for extra flavour
Such a nice demo of the 110 and 140. Those where exactly the two and only Roland System 100m modules I had myself back in the 80s, together with the case and master keyboard. They were, like you said, the absolute minimum for a synth with these modules and was all I could afford because of the prices back then ;-)
Hey Tim, I want to thank you very much for your fantastic work. I'm a Bass player for nearly 35 years and during this weired times I found my love for Synthesizers. I've sold a lot of instruments and bought my first Moog Synths (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother 32, Dfam) I decidet to buy no instruments with presets or the possibillity to save patches. I want to understand and learn how these beautifull instruments work and react. The possibillity to patch on this semimodular synths is another reason I bought them. The Subharmonicon and the Behringer 2600 are on there way after watching your very interesting Videos about those instruments. I've learned and understand so many things because youre stile of explaining things is on a very high level (even for a beginner like me). This Video is also very mindopening.
Thanks for creating this video Tim. I’m new to the euro rack and am going the ARP 2500 route as they come in. These videos will help me get to up to speed while the modules become available. Looking forward to future videos from you on this subject. Best wishes!
You have made some great videos too, I dig that movie score chill soundscape the 2500 modules do so well, and the lofi drum hits. Keep ‘em coming and thank you.
I hope you earn something from doing this, you are so educative! And as a keyboard player myself, it’s interesting to hear your perspective on eurorack. Thank you.
These videos are great Tim! I think that if I get into eurorack this will be how I start. I have a brother in law with a marvelous wood shop and I have the wherewithal to build the power supplies so that would be my way around the insane cost of eurorack cabinets. Behringer modules would be my way around the insane cost of so many other modules on the market too. At least to start anyway.
Fantastic overview. Main issue with the Behringer 100 System modules is the difficulty in finding the 110, 112 and 182 in stock anywhere. First World OCD Crisis for those of us who would like the complete system! Although using one of the resonant filters as a sine wave is a good start.
Probably the most helpful video I’ve seen regarding modular synthesisers. Keeping down to three modules was an inspired choice and the way you explained the passage of sound using the patch cables really unlocked a lot of mystery. Any chance you could follow this up with showing how you can get different sounds from just these three modules or even which modules to buy next to take the sound in different directions? Overall well done Tim.
Wow actually just picked up a Doepher LC1 case, behringer 150 and attenuators to further modulate a Moog grandmother. This video speaks to me! Looking for the 110 next.
Cool, a nice and small but complete synthesizer in a box. Please keep on making videos like this for beginner in modular synthesis. Using a Doepfer A-156 Quantizer would make it much easier to set the tuning of the sequencer-steps. You have some TC Electronic gear in your studio. The polytune guitar tuner will work well for this purpose. Hope that Behringer releases a quantizer for the 100 series. A combination of dual sequential switches and dual quantizer would be nice. Thank´s for your video and inspiration.
Ah i am seeing the hall of Fame Flashback there too. 👍 i think behringer owes you a lot for this demo, since i went to take the leap into modular because of your Last Video and reply
Nice, there it is. Already got the 110 too by now! Getting started with my planned duophonic Synthesizer... already bought too much stuff to make it complicated... 😅
Bought one of the modules just to check the quality, cheap enough to try it out. Have the 173, tons of multiples. Very good quality. Now I need to grab that sequencer if I can find it.
I love playing with moog eurorack, but these modules look more logically arranged for a beginner and will help me learn faster. 11:36 great Doepfer case. Love the logical module design too.
possibly one of the best introductory videos on modular synthesis & the basics of synthesis in general available on youtube
The first 3 mins of synth music is some of the most pleasing I've heard in a while. Thanks
Nice video concept. It's definitely a great paradigm to start with. The 3 module setup you use is a perfect example, as is the classic "D set" that Roland suggested back in the day (112, 121, 130, 140, 150). You can then dive off into the more complex stuff from there.

Are there other Roland suggested combos?
@@PFDarkside Yep, about 4 or 5 in the original brochures.

Be careful. Once you start there is no turning back. It’s called EuroCrack for a reason 😀

You deserve all the praise you get for your hard work, Tim. This is a wonderful exposition!
He has the looks and voice of an actor, but he's a synth nerd. That's so awesome!

Great "beginners" modular video. One of the best I've seen. Answered a lot of my questions.
This is such a helpful video, thanks so much for posting this Tim. Love these modules, seem like great bang for the buck. Well done.
By far the best modular start up video I've seen, great job 👍
What a lovely video! Thank you, Tim, for sharing this. Very helpful, and not only for Behringer gear.
The 110 is a great sounding oscillator. Fantastic video Tim. Thank you much.
I was really hoping you were going to cover this module. Thanks!! Awesome video, as always!
This is by far the best intro to
Modular I could imagine.
Thank you so very much for your efforts!
Thank you so much Tim for an awesome modular intro video.
Fantastic! I have watched a ton of videos on modular to try and grasp it and yours as by far the most simple and easy to grasp. Thank you!
I saw quite a few eurorack videos, but this is definitly first time I really got interested. Your simple case "wholesynth" setup is awesome!
Thanks for making this tutorial Tim! I just bought a System 100m set of modules and your video has been a great help!
great video, re-awoke my love of modular synths even though I made one of my own and have been working with and designing them for years, well done!
Thank you. I’ve learned so much from this video and you answered a lot of questions I had. Best explanation for patching I’ve see so far. Subscribed.
This is by far the best introduction to modular ive seen. Havent had the confidens to try it out more seriously. This series is great. Thank you.
My first aproach to modular was the Junkie XL series on his 5U wall; great tubes, too complex tho. This one is great and simple, thats true
The key to an successful video presentation is coming up with beautiful and creative interludes.
Tim...I love your work flow, vibe and teaching....thank you my friend.
Thank you. That's it. For abnormally useful (and interesting) content on TH-cam!
Wow mate, great video! Thank you so much for sharing. What a time to be alive. I've been using software VCV Rack (and reason) for a while but wanted to dip my toe back in the analogue / modular world. Wow It's changed a lot :) Great video thank you !

Very well explained the basics of synthesis! Looking forward to the sequels.
I’m just starting out with modular and this video is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
This is sooooo soothing...also I am now addicted to eurorack. Thanks Tim! 🙂
This was absolutely amazing! I am getting into music again after a 15+ year long hiatus. This was truly inspirational!
How's it going?
Tremendously clear and concise as always Tim, thank you.
That was great. Just the perfect video for a noob like me. Really appreciate that. Too many videos show a patch but never truly explain it. Thanks again!
Really nice video- great to see how these modules work.
I enjoyed this so much.

Hi Tim, thanks for this video, these are exact the topics I deal with at the time :-)
Well done as always.
How could anyone give a shoebridge video a thumbs down? All his videos are great

Thanks alot for this great demo! Inspired by your videos I decided to order a first basic set of the Behringer System 100 modules.

Brilliant review on the Behringer System 100!
Now I have to buy it... :D
Loved every second of this video.
awesome video and what´s even more important, awesome music!
thanks for this. Mine arrived yesterday and is my first eurorack module :)
Great, helpful, musical, accurate and elegant. Thank you
Excellent video, exactly the information I was looking for. ✌️
Really nice Video, great Explenation, Made the Things useful to use, its a great Idea for These Tutorial
Thank you very much & all the best for '21.
Very helpful!
Nice piece of work Tom
Great video Tim! I don't have a modular (yet) and I want this three module setup so badly now.
great great content. your channel needs way more subs. The music is FANTASTIC
Great video Tim, simplified the ever so complicated... great tune at 20:18 too :-)
Fantastic overview. Main issue with the Behringer 100 System modules is the difficulty in finding the 110, 112 and 182 in stock anywhere. First World OCD Crisis for those of us who would like the complete system! Although using one of the resonant filters as a sine wave is a good start.

Great video, and really useful to me even tho I dont use any of the system 100 stuff. Thanks!
Great tutorial! Really appreciated.
great intro to modular synthesis!
Bought one of the modules just to check the quality, cheap enough to try it out. Have the 173, tons of multiples. Very good quality. Now I need to grab that sequencer if I can find it.

Thank you for this, beautiful music and advice, aaand for helping to save me from throwing away a whole lot of money on a Original 😊 Kind regards
Great stuff, looks so neat in that case, shame behringer themself does not sell those 3 modules in a little case like this
Or if Behringer also sold smaller, powered cases ... . ^_^
Thank you! Very nice overview!
