- Here is a brief "typing-no-talking" demonstration of the Vermona Melodicer being used in conjunction with the Moog Matriarch and a collection of Behringer 2500 modules.
The Melodicer is really the star of the show in this video, admittedly it is an expensive module but if you are patient they do come up on the used market for good prices, that's how I bought mine.
And the Matriarch? Even though it's Moog and it sells for a lot of money it is IMHO the Bargain of the Century: Four wonderful sounding VCO's, two beautiful sounding analogue low pass transistor ladder filters in stereo configuration, two gorgeous sounding analogue bucket brigade delays in stereo configuration, and more modular patch points than you can shake a stick at. What's not to like?!
Starting out this NEW YEAR with a wonderful video. Much appreciated and enjoyed... Cheers to all..
Lovely, Tim! Happy New Year from southern California! 💥
Love my Melodicer. Exactly what I was looking for at the time and was inspired to actually get one by your review of it a while ago. Chees, nice track 😁
Sounds great, cool laid back atmosphere, plus some elements of Vangelis i'm hearing there too :) Do an Album of this Tim!
Great video Tim …Happy 2023 to you and thanks for the channel. Always a great watch and source of useful information.
I'm gonna be honest: a longer loop of this would be an awesome ambient track. Very laid back, not intrusive at all, so chill and all. It's something I would listen to while working.
And the gear used is irrelevant, no need to justify it. If it's fun to use and the result sounds good to you, that's all you need!
Happy New Year to all! Tim, thank you for the continued vid contributions and learnings.
thank you Tim for your videos! happy 2023!
Hey Tim!! Lovely lovely sunshine somber peacefulness. Went back and checked out your detailed notes. Great vibe!!
Really enjoyed this short video Tim. The music itself was lovely to listen to, and enjoyed the patch notes and info format. Here’s to an amazing 2023!!
I laughed out loud at that chewing. Hey, isn't that what we all want? To just noodle about with gear and eat something delicious? Maybe have a drin... ooh better not near the gear.
Lovely sounds, Tim. Wishing you and your family the very best for the New Year.
Happy 2023, Tim. Thank you for a GREAT video to ease us into this year!
Very nice, very interesting. The behringer modules sound lovely.
Very cool track. Happy New Year Tim !
Thanks again to share your knowledge and your impression about all these gears.
I wish you all the best for 2023, lot of music and video !
Greatings from France.
This short video from a guy who does normally longer in depth videos was a nice break. Loved the nylon guitar at the end, and the snacking. My notifications are off, but just wanted to say thanks for your videos when I need them.
A man that eats while he works lol, what a way to bring it into the New Year, absolutely excellent Tim.
Hope you had a great New Year and the rest to come!!!
I like your 'go to' drum track. It's been on a number of your vids...
Very lovely track. Thanks for posting it.
I always love that feeling when a good bass comes in to immediately deepen a whole track!
Btw I think you were featured in the latest Bad Gear episode :)
Tim and Florian should do a joint video where Tim tempts Florian over to the dark side!
@@unclemick-synths But Tim seems more to radiate on the illumination side!
Beautiful Tim! Like these multiple end evolving sequences a lot! Berlin style 😊with a Tim twist. Cheers 🥂
Happy New Year! Love the videos of you writing music and describing your process.
Gorgeous, Tim..... just sweeeeetttttt!!!💖💖💖👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
All Vermona products are simply awesome !
Beautiful,Tim! Love the sound of the (2500 Osc.'s), plus the snappy (2500 ADSR's and V.C.A.,with filter) combination! What a tight,percussive-attack they have. I have 'rarely' heard,but a few 'envelope-combos' that sound better!💙🥂Thanks' for posting!
I love my 'happy accident machine'. So much so that I'm tempted to splash for another one so they can play off of each other.
Wonderful tune. All the best for 2023!
your ocd made you make this cabinets, I bet it did , looks clean, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Bravo.
You should give a talk on how you manage your time.
Regarding your last piece on “Justification” please disregard the negativity. Keep doing what you do.
Tim, this song "This is not a Song" is now stuck in my head . Beautiful catchy tune ;)
Gorgeous. I love this kind of evolving thing.
love the show&tell format!
Love this Track
Happy New Year Tim ! Lovely jam. Looks like you have the nicest Behringer Eurorack setup on the internet. :)
Lovely as always Tim. I've thus far resisted the lure of modular, but my goodness this is cool (shout out to SynthPunk).
What a beautiful piece. Certainly no need to “justify” what gear you’re using when you’re making such lovely music! I for one love your work, and Happy New Year!
Fantastic use of the B2500 modules, very nice tones that complete the Moog. Great to see you are still into modular. I really need to send you a 1047K so you can make percussive sounds from the B1047, it would really work well in this track! Keep posting more music in 2023 !
Hey Rob, thanks very much. Yes definitely send me one on loan for a few weeks and I'll happily do a review video for you. All the best and Happy New Year.
thanks for the video and for sharing this lovely tune, but next time you eat in a video you must bring enough to share with the whole channel!
Happy New Year Tim. 😀
New Order vibe going on here Tim, Power, corruption and lies ish ❤❤❤❤
Bye the way, happy new year from Ireland.....😊😊😊
Wonderful way to start the year. Reminded of Europe Endless.
Gorgeous
I could hear some New Order in there..
Sounds like a song to me, and a great one at that!
I agree on about the hardware. Last night I was trying to recreate a synth line and sound using analogue hardware only for the step sequencing and voice. What took me about an hour or so could have been done in about 10 minutes using my DAW, but that wasn’t the point.
Happy New Year! Really enjoyed this, wasn't sure how much was Matriarch and how much was modules but it sounded good and the melodicer sounded cool.
Very nice !
Fantastic sounds!
Nice. Melodicer reminds me of Korg‘s KARMA.
Lovely combination. My guess is a mince pie 😁. Thanks Tim
Excellent
One of my favourite noodlings of yours, Tim - the other being your first Melodicer track - thank you! However, it deserves to be a much longer piece.
I have 2 questions for you, if that's OK(?):-
1) Around 4m56s there's a type of ratchet sound. How was that achieved using Melodicer ... or was it purely pseudo-random in nature and not 'planned'?
2) How could the entire set of sequences be moved up and down in pitch? Would they need to be patched through a quantiser (with an external CV input) to raise or lower them by a number of semitones or could a precision (voltage) adder be used to achieve the same thing by adding a set amount to each sequence?
My sincere apologies for the degree of my modular ignorance - I'm still learning the basics here!
Thanks again - I really enjoyed this.
Hey. Thanks very much. I can hear a little trill at that approx timestamp...? If that's what you are referring to then it's me noodling about with an acoustic guitar sound (Nord Wave 2) very quietly in the background to add some depth to the track. As for transposition, the melodicer supports that by way of a CV input to shift the pitch up or down, it can be a quantised shift or else unquantised if that is the effect you want.
Lovely!
More Matriarch content from Tim was not the new year's gift I was expecting but a welcome surprise.
Did you sell your OG Matriarch for the Death Star console version?
Yes I made the decision to get the dark version but, to be totally honest, I am missing the colours of the original now! I know, totally fickle, but actually the colours help to delineate the sections and I realise now I used to reach over to the right control before without even thinking about it. Now I have to double check.
Cool track whatever the tools :-)
Nice. 🙂 Did Harmonaig get the flick? Have wanted Melodicer since your last video on it. Was going to get Harmonaig as my first proper euro module, to go with the semi-modulars I have (a matriarch, a mother-32 and a subharmonicon). Then get melodicer down the line, fate permitting. Wondering whether you’d recommend that, or not (hence, I’m wondering where Harmonaig went - or is it just hiding out of sight?) … ? Love your videos and your taste in things. 😊 Cheers!
Hi, I did end up selling it but it is a very clever and inspirational module in the right hands. What I mean by that is that I realised I like to have full control over chord progressions, so I found myself not using the harmonaig very much. I'm much more at home with the melodicer choosing notes for me but in the scale/chord I set.
Lovely
Beaut!
Ahhh, the go to rhythm track…
What did you go with for your full set of 2500 modules, I would love to know!
Hi! awesome video, so excited to learn about this module. Ok, I have a matriarch, polybrute, DFAM, ARP2600 (behringer) in my studio...alongside Push2, Keystep Pro, etc. My question is how am I to utilize the Melodicer with these synths? Could I patch it to the Matriarch and have it generate melodic rhythms for me through the synth? Great work, as always @TimShoebridge !
Thanks a lot. Any synth that supports eurorack CV and gate will work with melodicer no problem at all
Could you do a tutorial on the melodicer with the matriarch? I have both but I am having a hard time integrating them.
You could've done all that with VSTs! lol only joking. Sounds awesome as always, Tim. How is everything midi syncd, interface or thru boxes?
A man gotta eat 🙂
Hi Tim, can you do a little video, or just include in one of your up coming videos, a little insight concerning your process of actually patching different synth equipment together? How are you organizing power, midi and audio output for example. Also what about the challenge of studio space? Are your returning a lot of instruments or keeping most of them? How do you decide which ones you are going to keep? Love the jam btw!
Isn't all patching pretty much the same CV, Gate, In and Out?
Regarding new instruments, sometimes you just get a feeling straight away, either it will work for you or it won't. Other times you really need to give an instrument some time, see how much use you make of it, see how it fits in with the others. One particular synth, the Roland JD-XA, I bought and sold three times! Each time after I sold it I felt regrets. There's aspects to that synth I really love and missed but other aspects drove me mad! 🙄
subtle hints of Kraftwerk
How does the Melodicer compare to something like the Metropolix?
I just wish the Melodicer wasn't A: Out of stock or... B: Very expensive where it is in stock!
Ps. Who makes the Eurorack snacks?
Really love it ! Hey, did you use 3 Melodicers ? 😮
I’m guessing those are other very similar-looking Vermona modules … but yeah, I see why you’re asking! 🧐🧐🧐 *rubs eyes*
Yes. None of them bought new, I've been waiting extremely patiently for them to pop up used on eBay.
Very mello.
Did you change your coloured Matriach to a black one ?
Yes. But tbh I kind of regret it! I didn't realise at the time but I'd grown fond of those colours!
4:40 😎👍
Do you have two Melodicers?
😮👋👍
