Had an MMG, never really cared for its sound, plus it was the first MN module I had that developed a dead spot and it was on the cut off knob. As I understand the QMMG is 4 MMGs...and seeing the ludicrous 2nd hand prices of the MMG, this re-issue will be a bargain for the people that like it. Its a good thing they are re-releasing this, only to piss off the scalpers.
not gonna lie, I was hoping you'd start playing Michael Anthony/Van Halen's "Sunday afternoon in the park" there... the patch in the "feedback riding" section sounds perfect for it. Thanks for making this video. All my fingers & toes crossed for getting one of the reissues!
It sounds so great, but I don't think it'll work for my setup, as I rely on strike inputs for envelopes. And I can buy two modules for the price of one of these.
I do love the QMMG but never felt like the price was justified. I understand the collectibility since the first run was hand-built by Tony Rolando, but never was blown away by the sound. Really flexible, but not the best sounding filter (nice squelch but nothing mind blowing about it) or LPG (it does ring, I guess?). The damping feature is quite nice and the panel design is lovely, though. I am sure the new batch will sell out immediately and folks will be scalping them shortly thereafter all the same. lol. But maybe people will get their hands on them and realize the hype was not quite justified? I hope people love them, but I think people should temper their expectations.
Like everything it has it’s own character and I find some of it’s quirk are very hard to replicate with other things (mostly the wacky wet resonance). Indeed the hype will make you think it will make anything sound better and make you write better music and of course this is not true. I still find that it is one of the most pleasing interface to play with in eurorack land tho.
How does the QMMG compare to the Tiptop Buchla LPG? I definitely see some added features on the QMMG but curious if you have any thoughts on tonal comparisons and/or the vactrols?
Video on the subject (and a few more lpgs) coming this week ;-) Globally I find the « both » / « combo » mode better on the 292t but the additional features make the QMMG a real monster of flexibility
QMMG has resonance in LPF/HPF modes ... and has an HPF mode. OK, you could patch up a resonance circuit, since it's just a feedback loop, but that means more mixers and more patch cables
@@BrandonAilion if you can get a QMMG and compare both in person I’d recommend that. I find playing them over listening to TH-cam videos best. The videos are a good start tho. It’s not like reselling the QMMG would be hard if you still favored your 292t.

I'm a tragic MN Fanboy.. And I only live once.. So I'll be hopeful to get my hands on one and shoe horn it into my shared system XL
Hell yeah, I wish you good luck ;-)

@@Stazma interesting. I do have a 292t so looking forward to that video. Thanks for the reply.

I'm thinking the same thing... Do I sell my 292t and get a qmmg or just stick with what I have

900 bucks? Nah, I'll wait the Behringer Clone of this one
There is already other alternatives that are cheaper and not B.
@@Stazma like?

If I remember correctly there’s a Thomas Henry module that is a quad MMf and looks a lot like the QMMG.
