As I rewatch this video, my wife walks in and tells me "wow that is a beautiful module", pointing at the Nautilus. If she likes it so much, perhaps she won't mind me buying one hahaha.
Hey just dropping by to comment that last night I patched something inspired by what you did in this video since I have most of the modules you have in this case and it was one of the most fun I've ever had in modular since I started. I can't thank you enough for the inspiration you gave me. 💜💜💜
This sounds wonderful. Would love to see a tutorial on how to set up an ambient machine like this, like how to know what modules are needed and in what order.
This is very hard to catch in a video because there's just so many nice modules out there. I really like to play with Granular related Modules, loopers and effects but my system is changing a lot. I keep buying and selling modules, guess that's also part of this journey.
Oh damn the reverberating plucks around 4:14 took me straight to the chess house scene in Jet Li's movie Hero. Old man silver playing guqin in the rain. Just needs the attack screams and clash of steel on steel. Great stuff!
In younger years I used to drool over these modular systems. They couldn't be complex enough. And there was only expensive Moog in these days (yes it's long ago). Glad that I couldn't afford it. At least a dozen patch cables just to trigger two oscillators and then having a hard time and patience to get to the knobs which on their turn are getting only smaller recently. Not for me. But but a nice video and keep meditating!
Yeah you don't really need much to have fun, however there's not a lot of other ways to patch this so the overall sound is always more or less the same
Mike, I am very glad I found a fellow Dutch creator as this video alone already inspires me to go into hardware modular in 2024. I love the voice over that explains how you bring us up in space with these patches. Can't wait to watch and listen more of you.
Hey hallo Thank you bedankt for you kindness. Great to hear that it inspires you. Be aware because Eurorack is highly addictive and there's no clinic that can help you out. Good luck and keep me posted about your journey
Goedemorgen. Two months after my comment to this video, and I now own a rack that is starting to fill up too fast, and I need more cables every week. The addiction is real, but my wallet is empty, so I better start making patches and show them on my channel. Thanks!
Great Fun - thank you! Brain Ino made me laugh the day when he say, "I bought a new keyboard. Keyboards today are so good that you could make a whole ambinet album just by pressign one key - if you had the patience..." I laughed hahahahahahaha
@14:32 Your comment made me think back to the first album Tangerine Dream released in 1970: Electronic Meditation. And I'll just say that I would much rather meditate to this track you created with your new mini system than TD's effort from back then. ;)
amazing video. lovely mashine morphagene is my #1 module and responsible for my bad addiction. if it were me puting togeter this lovely system, i would change the melodicer against stochastic insperation generator, because of its more cv/gates. otherwise they are very similar of course. SIG is my #3 fav module btw. and my #2 is the sinfonion!
@@LittleAmbientMachine I'm so much inspired by it that I actually threw you a shoutout in my video I just dropped because seeing you use the Melodicer inspired me to make an Ableton MIDI rack equivalent. th-cam.com/video/AFEoCJAHmVI/w-d-xo.html
Yes, but that's exactly what I am looking for with generatve patching. But I think I can get close with Westlicht Performer too. I need to investigate :)
This was incredibly beautiful! I'm getting into modular synth and want to ask you this: How many different "songs" can you make with this little setup which all sound completely different, and not just like variations of the same song? Thanks!
I love how like..... bit crushed the melody was right at first, totallllly gorgeous setup i love that sequencer too! i use a different one but hell yes! Future collab with me please (gerbil hamster records)
Hey there. This video is what kicked off my rabbit hole down into the world of modulars. I heard it - and was instantly in love. Do you have any recommendations on a "baby's first modular" that would bring the budget down but have a vibe similar to this? Thank you so much for sharing!!
This looked like an ideal start in modular as it’s small and compact and I can follow your patch initially. I’;ve now got all bar the Morphagene and the Nebulae 2, but I’m wondering if I need 2 granular delays? I had one for my guitar rig but never found the sweet spot on it. I’m wondering what I could use instead of the Morphagene?
Noob here. What is the app or website you're using in the very start of the video to put together the pieces? And did you buy ALL of the pieces in one place / one website? Thank you
@@julesgaardls you can't recreate it exactly but there are stochastic generators in VCV Rack, and plenty of interesting effects modules that could make up for the absence of Qu-Bit Nautilus. (I want one so bad.) Clouds is in there 1-to-1 and will already get you halfway there if you're trying to experiment with ambient. All the same functionality will be available in VCV but it will look much different. The workflow and patching setup might be different.
This video inspired me to get into modular. I've very slowly been collecting the modules and learning how to use them. I love the melodicer! Question : Little ambient machine now that you have had a chance to work with it, would you keep the nautilus or swap it out for something else?
Thanks for the video, great insights and tips. Quick question about the Melodicer - have you ever considered the Stochastic Inspiration Generator or checked it out? Thanks again, it is indeed a quite useful video.
Hi, I am thinking about buying Nautilus. What do you think? Can you recommend Nautilus for ambient music? Also, thank you very much for your videos! Very helpful and symphatic. :)
Nautilus is pretty good for creating sounds, especially the freeze functions is useful and it also has some other modes that can be used in order to create new sounds. But you really do need a reverbr behind this. I think the nautilus can go pretty extreme and a reverb behind it will soften the sound. So i use Nautilus more as a sound creation module and not so much as a Delay. The best "Delay" for ambient music is the Dual looping delay imo. Because this gives a very long and organic delay and the reverse function is nicer than the one on Nautilus. If you are into drones then the Nautilus is worth trying. If you are looking for a delay to delay trigger sounds then better go for DLD. In the end it's a matter of taste. The Nautilus id definitly a one of a kind module. You can buy it and if you don't like it it's very easy to sell it :0 haha ......Hope this helps !
Cool presentation. Thanks a lot for the inspiration. Question: what is the sequence at the beginning of the video? A website to support configurations?
Hi Samuel, the website for configurations is www.modulargrid.net/ The sequence in the beginning was also made with this little system, the same way as i show in the video. Hope this answers your question, cheers Mike
Great little video, thanks for sharing. At the very start it appears to show you purchasing the whole setup via a drag-and-drop process on a website. Could I ask the name of the website please? This looks to be an ideal way to purchase a small setup such as this, all in one go. Also, what other ways would you go about patching this system, in order to get a variety of different sounds? My thoughts initially are that with small systems like this, there is a limited number of ways to patch in order to get meaningful results, but that could be a wrong assumption on my behalf.
Hey thanks for reachin' out. The site your mean is called Modular grid. It has a marketplace and also the possibility to plan your Eurorack setup. In this case i use one voice and yes there's not al lot of different ways to patch it. This is just one of the many mini systems i build, play with, and take apart. I hve some other modules on the side. However the main thing i like to do with eurorack is playing with loopers, granular and effects. Not a lot patching either but great for the mind. Effects bring so much nice extra harmonics that get me inspired. So with this little system you will be able to have a lot of fun though....
So with the Melodicer, it looks like you can select the notes you want and how often with the sliders, my question is this: Does the device come up with a pattern that loops and you can reseed it when you want things to change or is it all probabalistic all the time?
Hey buddy thanks for reachin' out. The Melodicer can not be programmed. You can freeze a certain melody & rhythm, and you can also store them. But further is probabalistic all the time. All note have a fader and the higher you set the fader the more times it will play that certain note. It's really great for happy accidents and you can also set it to play random melodies and rhythms constantly in the same scale. I hope this helps. Cheers L.A.M.
@@LittleAmbientMachine Rings and Clouds are already a part of the default VCV Rack / Cardinal distribution. Pamela's Workout it's just a clock generation, so you have several alternatives. The choice of sequencer/quantizer modules you're using is even too big to narrow here. Your music sounds good, no disrespect, but if you think you're using some kind of "unique" modular process, I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed. Again, no diss to you music intended, or to modular if it suits your taste, but the basic patch is still clock > random sequencer > quantization > delay/reverb > mix.
@@lagunagfx It's all good :) no worries, thanks for you comment. As for Rings and Cloud you are 100% right (but clouds doesn't have the parasite FW and Rings sounds like shit in VCV) but Pam's can do way more than just clocking. Modules like Mophagene, Lubadh, DLD or Starlab are nowhere to be found on VCV or even as VST (but yes you have delays and reverbs) . But the main reason to me is that there's a big difference between working with a Mouse and VCV or with real modules. I'm very well aware that i'm not using some kind of unique modular process. I do use VCV rack sometimes and I also use iOS apps. My Eurorack setup is for 80% based on modules that can't be found on VCV, mainly FX and granular stuff. I don't take myself to serious it's just a lot of fun to make content and music. Cheers Mike
@@LittleAmbientMachine If it fits your way of working, then fine, man. To each, their own, as they say. I really dig your music. I know many modules have multiple functions, though I find some of them quite overpriced and/or redundant (if we just consider achievable function and disregard size and portability, of course). I personally lean to an hybrid process and don’t mind using computers or even code, so most of my modules are simpler analog elements. Tactile feedback could be achieved through controllers, though is not an “out of the box” experience. I’d recommend you to check Cardinal instead of VCV. They’re very close but since Cardinal is all open source without the commercial aspect of VCV I think it has a deeper focus in stability and quality. Anyway, no disrespect intended in my criticism. The music is what matters in the end and as I said, I really enjoy it. Peace, man
@@lagunagfx Hey man, don't worry about disrespect i don't feel it like that at all. I mean your comments are totally true and worth thinking about. As you said before everyone has his own way of creating things (music, paintings, art whatever.) I really like all these comments, to me it is part of me ever expanding hobby and it also brings me new inspiration. So yeah, i'm going to look into Cardinal althought i'm still now a big fan of Mouse and software hahahaha. Having said that i'm now working on a video about making a sample with eurorack and work on that in Bitwig Studio. Talk to ya soon >>> peace!!
What a great setup! I am planning to buy the Monsoon. The dealer I found offers a choice of Stock, Parasite or Beat Repeat firmware. Do you know which one came on yours? Thanks again!
I have iPad, AUM, Rack, VCv, Vst, iOs apps (like borderlands) , Bitwig, synths. But nothing is more fun than the real Eurorack. It’s so full of happy accidents. I sold most of my Eurorack a while ago and went on with only iPad and so but that didn’t do it for me….
@@LittleAmbientMachine physical world experience is also important, no doubts. I find small cases more attractive and focused. Not going to get into Eurorack though.
@@wickeddubz I should't have done it either but it's too late now, i'm addicted to Eurorack and making content with it. Takes a lot of time and I don't make any money with it. BUT..... it's very good for the mind and with all the crazyness going on in this world i think it's 200% worth it.
@@LittleAmbientMachine it’s all about being happy and focused on creation. I decided to assemble few MFOS devices in the honor of Ray Wilson and his legacy. No matter how many synths i have, i feel i must do this.
Oow yes software of course. But really I don't like to work with a Mouse and keyboard. If you never touched "the real thing" then it's hard to understand. My music became so much more interesting since i started using Eurorack. And i also use Software sometimes but merely just for the presets. I hardly dive deep into VST's.....
@@LittleAmbientMachine I also love to touch my Hardware synths and sequencers. Here your are absolutely right. At the moment I try to perform live with synths, sequencer and sampler, record every instrument in a separate track. But after this I work on it with the DAW. So I hope I can manage to use the best of both worlds. Thanks for your interesting work.
@@LittleAmbientMachine I thought you were making this for sale. And I wanted to test it and write an article of it. But after I wrote that, I realized that it was only one copy of that. Sorry.
@@ScottofOakland could be that it’s a bit out of sync cause i layer the audio on top of the video that i make with my iphone. Audio recording is done via Bitwig studio…
as everything in this world - once you open a door, you learn you know nothing (yet). "How cool is this?" so beautiful. So much more to learn.
Beautiful, this is what modular is all about. You could carry a whole universe in a little suitcase
Lovely little box. First attempt sounds so nice!
Hi Pat thanks has been a while
Woah, *senpai*
Blown away so much so only gone out and purchased this setup.

Its the Rangoon ( rings clone) by BigTmusic
@@LittleAmbientMachine Why not use rings, if this is a clone, copy, not a good thing
What a great setup! I am planning to buy the Monsoon. The dealer I found offers a choice of Stock, Parasite or Beat Repeat firmware. Do you know which one came on yours? Thanks again!
I only know parasites so i can compare the others, i love parasites and my monsoon has that on
Shame the ALM cases, which I’ve been looking at for about a year, are hard to find in the US 😞
I was lucky with Scheidersladen….. they always have lots
Ipad +aum costs around 500 and can do a lot more. Vcv rack is free, so it can be cheaper if needed
I have iPad, AUM, Rack, VCv, Vst, iOs apps (like borderlands) , Bitwig, synths. But nothing is more fun than the real Eurorack. It’s so full of happy accidents. I sold most of my Eurorack a while ago and went on with only iPad and so but that didn’t do it for me….
@@LittleAmbientMachine physical world experience is also important, no doubts. I find small cases more attractive and focused. Not going to get into Eurorack though.
@@wickeddubz I should't have done it either but it's too late now, i'm addicted to Eurorack and making content with it. Takes a lot of time and I don't make any money with it. BUT..... it's very good for the mind and with all the crazyness going on in this world i think it's 200% worth it.
@@LittleAmbientMachine it’s all about being happy and focused on creation. I decided to assemble few MFOS devices in the honor of Ray Wilson and his legacy. No matter how many synths i have, i feel i must do this.
Prachtig!
Hey thanks Yonga !
Impressive device, definitely! But I can‘t avoid to think about what kind and amount of software moduls I get for 2400€ for my Macbook…
Oow yes software of course. But really I don't like to work with a Mouse and keyboard. If you never touched "the real thing" then it's hard to understand. My music became so much more interesting since i started using Eurorack. And i also use Software sometimes but merely just for the presets. I hardly dive deep into VST's.....
@@LittleAmbientMachine I also love to touch my Hardware synths and sequencers. Here your are absolutely right. At the moment I try to perform live with synths, sequencer and sampler, record every instrument in a separate track. But after this I work on it with the DAW. So I hope I can manage to use the best of both worlds. Thanks for your interesting work.

Is there any chance to get a review copy of if? Please contact me.
What do you mean with a review copy?
@@LittleAmbientMachine I thought you were making this for sale. And I wanted to test it and write an article of it. But after I wrote that, I realized that it was only one copy of that. Sorry.
カッコいいですね！パネルの日本語が気になります。
what is the case?
ALM Busy circuits 6U52HP
@@LittleAmbientMachine thank you!
I want the same machine, now. please.
Is it just me, or is the sync of the video off from the audio here?
@@ScottofOakland could be that it’s a bit out of sync cause i layer the audio on top of the video that i make with my iphone. Audio recording is done via Bitwig studio…
can we make rings and clouds illegal
Yeah i'm kind of over it too. But then again it can be so peaceful. So every once in a while we need Rings into Clouds
Where can I buy this kit?
