Ooooh intriguing. Sounds lovely.
Btw your video really pops - looks great in the new place.
Great review, the comparison of blck_noir and the queen is just what I was looking for!
Most hypnotic kick I ever heard!
Thank you Bo ! Not into modular (thanks god 😉😉) but always happy to watch, really like this Black Noir Box !
Thanks for doing the side by side comparison! Was curious about some of the nuanced details, e.g. noise floor
Sounds great Bo.
Sounds really good!
Nice demo and review as always Bo! I finally made plunge this year into Eurorack and hard to believe that I already have two 6U cases full. One thing about this module that I wish it had was more CV control over pitch and so forth. Still, for a drum synth it is quite good for small setup with FX as well. I do prefer individual percussion modules for the flexible modulation choices.
I’m mad I sold most of my modules but love this channel
No Bo. You already got me buy the blck_noir. I can't keep spending money.😃
hope you are enjoying it!
@@BoBeats I love it. But i like the different sound of the queen of pentacles a lot. Thank you for comparing the two.
Aaaargh. This is definitely a luxury problem.
@@tanksmoonchild glad I waited as I much prefer Queen of Pentacles. Still, I am waiting for Ground Control sequencer then would make portable techno dance modular rig with these and a good bass oscillator.
@@GuitarsAndSynths check out the Erica synth bassline
I bought both, they are a perfect pair!
{The Bo Bounce } never skip intros kids. 00:45
Had a ton of eurorack drums and some drum machines and, even if these don't sound perfect (I think they sound great), the workflow is pretty great. Can use modular to trigger in interesting ways, and there is no way to come even close to 30HP (try 100HP) to get 7 sounds + FX and a mixer going on. Been loving the Blck_Noir, going to take a leap on the QoP and install some sounds ripped off the Roland TR-6S (and elsewhere!)! I love the TR-6S also, but, pretty menu-divey and a bit obtuse to use; after doing modular I was kind of dumbstruck that Roland wouldn't have a euclidean mode on it. A 4ms Pod + QoP + DOT and we're jamming. JMHO @BoBeats love the sequencer choice!
It sounds soooooo good! Tell them to make a desktop version for us non eurorack inclined persons.
Yes! We need this. A queen+Blck noir desktop thank you
You can get s 4ms pod and you're sorted
@@BoBeats even better- a techno system with both Black_Noire + Queen of Pentacles with mixer and Ground control sequencer to compete with the Erica Synths Techno modular system!
@@Symmetry77 indeed a portable modular drum techno machine. That is what I would do if I was doing a live show.
six and half minutes sound stuff around there was cool, that deep industrial techno vibe, very cool.
At 1:00 I found myself at a rave party :D
I got QoP, the 909-esque sound is more my style; which drum sequencer did you use in your video and which one would you recommend, Bo and audience?
That's a nifty case you got there
my kind of joke!
@@BoBeats Thank you for all your Insight in this field, really valuable. I always come to your vids for your take.
I personally like the black noir more since it's an all analogue drum manchine.. I love the individuals outputs but the trade off is not having them on the signal processor once routing them to the record it as individual voices. I can work around it but originally I thought I could still record the voices individually and still have under the effect processor and the filter ...
hello, great review, like it. could you please explain from 0:58, how you did the nasty sound, I see you hold the track 4 button and let it through its own effect, so what does hold down track 4 button do? in the review you said hold down a track button will let the sample repeat, but the 0:58 nasty sound doesn't sounds like a repeat sample.
Oh shit I already have 6 drumcomputers and want to get the Behringer RD-8 next. But this one sounds great for hard stuff
I love them both!
Take my money and send it to Endorphin.es!!!
The only thing I dislike about your channel is how nearly everything you review/showcase is so damn expensive! Otherwise, great work. Great content.
It looks like there is a left and right output, or out 1, 2 but I can't see how you might assign the drum voices to one, the other, or both outs, or whether there is panning per voice. I sure hope so, this thing sounds quite nice, but I just can live with mono drums for my style.
I have the Noir - excellent machine. There was a firmware upgrade from endorphin.es to address the noise-floor issue..
Hey I'm looking to get my first (semi-)modular and I was wondering if you'd consider the soundmachines modulör 114 a good choice?
I have not tried it
Question for the gallery: Being as something like this is cost prohibitive for me, could a Volca Drum create sounds akin to this? Thank you!
I have a Volca Drum. In my experience, no, you won’t get sound like this. The. QOP module is part analog, part sample based. The Volca Drum is a digital percussion synth. I don’t hate the Drum, but I don’t love it. I think your best bet is the PO-32 Tonic Pocket Operator. I’ve heard it described as the best drum machine under $500. My plan is to sell my Volca and get a PO-32. It’s digital, of course, so there’s that. I also have a DFAM that I want to throw in the trash. It’s cool, but not $700 cool. This module that Bo showed us IS cool. I’m just not ready to sell my soul to Eurorack just yet. :) Watch some more Volca and TE videos and sound demos I’d say.
@@vprice509 Microtonic (the software which the PO-32 is based on) is fantastic. Well worth checking out especially if you get the PO-32 as then you can export new sounds from the software to the PO. (Edit: meant to address this to the person you were responding to)
I love the Volca drum a lot! It hits hard and you can do varied sounds with it. I highly recommend it for the price. It sounds way better than it has any right to. It does FM type sounds too and it even has a bit crusher. It’s one of my favorite drum machines ever and I’ve owned a lot of them
Gnarly!
Is there any SIMMONS SDS-5 CLONE around?
LOL Watching this while converting files for the VPME QuadDrumVoice :D
I’m looking for a good all around drum was thinking vpme or the queen. What’s your thoughts. Is the vpme more flexable
There’s no link in the description to the Bkck Noir review?

Nice demo but why no tunning controls? Strange. Filter, effects and samples open up the possibilities which is nice
That Moog sub37 floating in mid air. 😳
If I could afford it I would have bought it yesterday.
I know you have already done some noise treatment, but I think you might want to consider a curtain to separate that area behind you. The VO has a a bit of a hissing echo.
no worries, im far from done :)
Cool module. The flanger needs to get fixed in a firmware update. It's quite a thin and boring sound that detracts from the music instead of adding to it.
weird basic question but how can I record my portable synth set. So it must be battery powered. Is there a mixer on the market which I can use also as a recorder at the same time?
(I don't want to use a recorder and a mixer separate) I want an all in all version
Nachbarsjunge DNB 1010 Music just came out with the Bluebox. That might be a nice fit for you.
The saturation sounds too nice man
Why don’t you make some Halloween music? You could call it BooBeats.
😂🙏
No, that is not for me. My TR-626, RD-8 and RX11 are enough for me, with all those wires pre soldered :D
Great i just put all the 727 samples in my Akai Pure drum machine , but with the 707 kick :)
Queen of Pentacles price £489
BLCK_Noir £439
That is like DFAM money.
@@mikehydropneumatic2583 or 3x Behringer RD 6 money
or more than roland TR 6 or TR06
okay they are not "euro rack" but they are drum machines and some do have triggers ands sep outs...plus internal sequencers.
lots of options out there for drum machine sounds now.
second
Top comment owes me a new synth
Im happy with my Digitakt and some money in my wallet. 🙃
Removing the unit to load samples? No thanks.
