This is how imagined Tides worked when I was still new to modular and figuring out what everything did. I love Tides and have two of them, but it's cool that my original naive expectations are also being met.
Thanks, I thought the same exact thing when I read about this concept for the first time! I like it a lot and it can be both very musical or pretty wild!
@@CinematicLaboratory I'm not familiar with MI Tides so I can't really give you a proper answer. I just tried the VCV Rack version and it seems to me they are quite different while sharing some similarities: they can both spread the output signal over time (like a delay / mode A on the ADDAC508), the 508 is always cycling (no trigger, clock or V/OCT input), and it has 2 gate outputs that work in a specific way. I don't think Tides has the various different clipping modes, especially the thru mode. Also, they can generate very different shapes: it seems to me that the 508 truly resembles ocean swells, with different shapes and evolving amplitudes, while Tides has fixed shapes and you can't really play much with the amplitude, but as I said I just gave it a quick look and I might be completely wrong :) both seem amazing modules to me, Tides gives me the impression to be a cool function generator while the 508, as I said, gives you a realistic swell simulation, it really makes you feel like you are playing with the ocean surface! It may be the Gerstner wave it's based on, while maybe Tides starts form a different design concept. Not sure, I'll have to experiment more with Tides!
Your demos are amazing. They really show in which direction you can go with different modules musically. Not just with random bleep bloops and weird noises
I'm a bit confused can you add to the descriptions for what it is actually doing to the sound source, I'm assuming its controlling VCAs for Level and the Panning??
@@emmanuelhourquet3693 yeah, the bitbox doesn't have VCAs but the concept is the same: I'm modulating the volume of each sample. Sure, you can use it any way you like and it should make a nice pair with the 112!
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried but 10 minutes of that was a little fatiguing to my ears and I wanted to use something different than synth sounds this time.

I tried Tides and compared it to this one and in the end I find them quite different, but both are fantastic!
Lol my thoughts exactly, except I now own three tides and still love making feedback modulation between the three of them to operate my deck.
Wow, super interesting concept and a wonderful demo! I think this module is totally my cup of tea!

@@DanieleGiannattasio Do you know, by any chance, the difference with MI Tides?

@@DanieleGiannattasio Wow, thanks for your research. I also found the ADDAC marble simulation which intrigues me even more!
@@CinematicLaboratory no problem! Oh yeah, again I totally agree with you, Marble Physics is fantastic!
This is incredible, definitely on my list.
Your demos are amazing. They really show in which direction you can go with different modules musically. Not just with random bleep bloops and weird noises
Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love addac, I need more of their modules. This reminds me of NLC sloths but less random, and faster. Nice demo!
Thanks! I'll check that one out!
Oh this is really cool!!!
Amazing 😮😮😮
great video, thanks!
Thanks!
Excellent 🤤
Thanks!

As I explained in the video, it's just controlling the level of each sample :) so you can hear each piano sample getting louder or quieter.
@@DanieleGiannattasio I must have missed the explanation. thanks
@@wishbonebrewery no problem, it starts at around 0:56
Really nice demo and powerful module. How are you playing your 4 loops from if I may ask?
Thank you! I'm using a sampler, the Bitbox MK2!
Ok great so you are opening and closing the VCA of the different tracks on the bitbox then?
@@DanieleGiannattasio
Guess it could work also with the addacVC112 loop and grain loop vca too
@@emmanuelhourquet3693 yeah, the bitbox doesn't have VCAs but the concept is the same: I'm modulating the volume of each sample. Sure, you can use it any way you like and it should make a nice pair with the 112!
The piano loops are too distracting for me, I would prefer a simple demonwith vcos or some simpler sounds
