Modular Drum Machine Show & Tell
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Here’s a quick look at a “drum machine” I put together for a studio session, built around System 80 880, Korgasmatron, Mutable Ears, Euclidean Circles, Cyclebox, Basimilus Iteritas Alter, Akemies Taiko and Hologram Microcosm to ambiently pad it out. I hope this shows the fun of digital stuff - always the most bonkers, versatile sound generators, paired with an analog ‘backbone’.
It also reminded me how I love envelope following drums and mashing them up with filters. One of the videos on TH-cam that made me actually want to get into Eurorack was “Prophei” mashing up some 808 through an MS-20 style filter (Doepfer Xtreme filter), so this process has a LOT to answer for...
This system was paired with a “voice” and FX system (being mainly Atlantis, Metropolix and Rainmaker). Anyway hope you enjoy the peek. Sorry for the quick vid, I’m in the middle of a house move, we’ll be firing on (more) cylinders shortly. 🙌

Nice. I've just got a Beat Step Pro and am now deep diving into modular drums. Some sweet ideas to try here. *Salutes*
Just what I needed, a new Mylar 🤓
I love how you encourage people to really think and be creative rather than just buy new modules, without being preachy. It’s great. You have really changed my mindset about how I should be approaching this - less broad and more deep exploration.
The Metropolix looks insane... I cant wait for that video, so I can put 'certified in metropolix' on my resume.
Start with a simple idea, but ending up at “oh wow”. This is why I love modular. 🤗
12 mins in and this case is an amazing industrial machine ( say early skinny puppy era?) love it!
Extra points for mentioning SP!
Just got into Modular Synths after real nailing down the recording process of acoustic drum sounds. I am now just figuring out that tracking modular synths and well-recorded drums is just *_voila_* perfect. I am officially entering the rabbit hole of modular. Wish me luck.
How’s it goin
First view and comment :)
The groove and condiments are ZEXY N DIRTY AF
Your voice is always dripping with pleasure. What's that left hand doing LMAO

Sounds very Trent Reznor-esque with all the distortion. Ace.
Thx for this mate. Need to hit you up on Patreon for help with Modular-Mecha blueprints. Cheers
Love your videos! Very informative and fun. Where did you get those red and yellow knobs for the 880?
Thanks m8 - those are Thonk Tall Trimmer Toppers, they’re great!!
Luv the 880
That was like' half a nine inch nails song right there!
This was phukin hella based and phat as phuk
when you dialed up that MT mini drive I instantly went to thonk and ordered a kit.
DAMN it sounds bloody amazing
for 46 quid Tom is practically giving it away
💡
same here!
filth! pure filth
Love that envelope follower from drum machine to filter tip, I'm using that in Ableton, different playground but same fun. Cheers.
That 880 is impressive.
I just got on the preorder list!
Nice one Chris, it’s a banger (the good kind!!)
Me too. Been looking forward to getting my hands on one and having some fun. They sound great.
Love your videos I think you are so humoristic 🤣🤣🤣 do you tried the qubit pulsar! I have one for my drums. Only 4 tracks but awesome
Just when I said "alright, modular drums just aren't worth it", this video comes along. Now.... 🙄😭🥰
I recently picked up Ripples. I can’t understand what took me so long. Such a great filter!!
This video is, um.......well, Ace!
Alex another gem inspiring vidio that’s always innovative as to endless possibilities of Modular
I’m struggling to thought process what route to take in choosing modules for drum duties so it can be altered from tune to tune performance not easy, don’t want to waste funds on unwanted gear, design wise for case
This helps though watching your ever evolving rigs
Cheers🆒👍🎶🎶🎶👌
A great inspiration as always, but you do seem to have misplaced your Grids!
The only constant is change.. I love that Heraclitus quote.
Very natural feel to the rhythm - how much is swing vs using the tap button?
Ooo, awesome case! Microcosm is such a good modular companion. It's just a magical factory of ear candy. Love mine!
What you mention about using both ends of the cables is interesting as I had some funny experiences assuming that audio was directional whilst trying to route audio around my system using
switches and realising that using mults sometimes causes audio to go to places you didn't expect it to.
This was such an amazing explanation and a whole show love it
Explain ing modu lar synths tothe beat 🎶
That clap was so intense I think it gave me the clap! Off to see the doc...
the polyend preset is fucking insane, its the module of all modules that does what it was not designed for
Great stuff Can you teach it in a daw with vsts? Please
Cyclebox is definitely my favorite osc. I don't think I'll ever let that one go.
3:45 - I made the exact same sound with my mouth... huhhhhhh
Filthy (at times). Very cool. I’m about to pull the trigger on a BIA, having removed the DFAM from the case back into its own home. I’m also thinking about one of those Thonk Distortion modules for my first DIY 🤔
All of the music thing modular are very easy to diy. Most detailed build guides out there.
I believe you have gone mad.
Another great source of inspiration
Dude I love this groove.
wicked grit. very nicw
I bought one of these 880’s and returned it because clap sounded awful, bought another exact same thing. Were there different iterations, clap is basically not useable.
Did you speak to Jeff at System 80? There are trimmers you can adjust, he would be able to talk you through your options
@@mylarmelodies any risk to unit outside tuning of adjusting them? Ill prob do that, thanks for the tip
that is mental. Ace.
Amazing. Full stop.
robotron 🤘
Too freakin' sexy... the synth is pretty decent, too 😉
😘
Yes mate
This video couldn't have been anymore better timed! I'm currently starting my modular adventure and in the market for drum modules, and it just so happens that you make this! Cheers 😁😁
Nice one. Defo don’t take this as a “definitive” take - which should apply to any system - there’s so many approaches and amazing modules!! Which probably isn’t very helpful, let me know if you need suggestions!!
ACE!
I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again. Korg arp 2600 in 62hp.
🧐
Or spend a quarter of the money and get Behringer Arp 2600 + complete “Boog” System 55 module set. Decisions decisions. ;)
That's a really well put together setup for the studio. What are you working on in the studio? A collaboration or are you just helping out on a project?
🙌 Just helping on a project!
@@mylarmelodies your help has gotta be in high demand. Cool drum case. I'm gonna try that when I get a couple more drum voices. I have the Pico Drum and Plaits that are my main ones now but that's it
You're a true 21st century Renaissance man
What was warps used for again? I must have missed it!
Didn’t mention it, but evil processing/wavefolding!!
@@mylarmelodies YTB thanks!
What's wrong with the Cyclebox?
It's sick!
Ya just don’t hear much about it in everyday modular chat I don’t think, but it’s amazing
Nothing other than I don't think it fits in that case :-)
Let's watch the 2nd hand prices rise now !
Très dope
😱
Dope AF
that clap
It really is quite the clap that one
for this sound you don´t need to spend 2k, really NOT! What a waste of money...
OMG Love that you’ve taken time to check out my channel guys, Computer World is the best x
