Best thumbnail ever, or what?!
I guess it's kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
15:55 The unexpected BOC cover is the deadliest. Also props for another 0-Coast video, I'm not sure why I haven't patched my Plaits through the 0-Coast before this, but I will now!
the notorious R.G.B. My head asploded when I heard that.
Orange!
Well, I find myself returning to this video again and again on my journey with 0-coast. First I watched it before buying, then when I was taking my first steps. Now I have first-hand experience with some pretty creative patches and still return here to learn new tricks. Thank you again.
I haven't played with my 0-Coast much lately. After these last two videos, that will certainly change. Thanks for the tips and inspiration.
2wwww22#$4 yeah!
man, you deserve a MASTERCLASS course.
thank you so much!
10:08 damn that little jam was beautiful
I love how the way you explain things make it captivating to watch a video about a synth I dont even own interacting with gear I have none of!
Wow, that combination of Plaits with 0-coast sounded sooooo rich. So many cool ideas packed in your videos, makes my head spin a bit. Thanks so much!
loopop is the best! Years of experience and I always learn something new. Thanks for the endless inspiration. Such good work. btw I've paired the O Coast well with the Koma Field Kit & FX, Folktek Mescaline and Elektron Analog Keys.
These 0-Coast videos are extremely helpful. Feeling inspired!!
Loving your videos. No one seems to be anywhere near as thorough. Great work.
Thanks for the inspiration. Love the parting shot of the "Pairing Menu".
was considering getting an o-coast but wondered how to make it play with others. As usual, your videos are superb and answered all my questions - even those I hadn't thought to pose. Thanks for making these added videos.
Very instructive video! My 0-Coast made me want to go modular and you just made me want to go modular even more :)
Thanks for the quality content!!
Another way to look at it that helped me decide where to go next after my 0-Coast, is to imagine that the next module you plan to get is actually what you were going to get BEFORE 0-Coast, and then look at how 0-Coast would allow you to expand that module. Looking at it this way really made me realize how much functionality is packed into 0-Coast, its a total little swiss army module!
wow that combo with the plaits is incredible
Ok, the fact that you played ROYGBIV made me so friggin happy.
You literally read my New Years resolution list. 1) Use my 0 Coast more 2 ) watch youtube patch instructions on 0 Coast and m32 and Clouds and Rings and ES8. Wow! Thanks! and First!
Thanks for making these videos man! They're really inspiring and helpful!
You’re the best ! Thanks again for all great videos and synth help 🙏
Beyond my comprehension, but sounding gr8. Another clever, and creative tutorial.
happy new year! very much looking forward to your stuff in 2019 Loopop! (:
This will go to straight to my bookmarks! Thanks!
I really enjoyed these two videos on the 0-Coast! In a couple of days I'll have had mine for exactly two years and it's been a lot of fun.
For a pairing suggestion the KOMA Elektronik Field Kit FX adds a bunch of nice toys in a similarly sized box.
More goodness. Thank you! I think you will be happy to hear that Make Noise is very well aware of and impressed by your videos. I was in Asheville last week and visited their location. Your 0-coast hacking video was one of the first things an employee mentioned when I said that I had one at home.
Cool - thanks for letting me know!
your presentations are impeccable, brilliance in a bottle, I say
This is awesome, learned a lot from this! Thank you
Thanks for mentioning VCV Rack and the inspirational video
Sooo wasn't expecting that ROYGBIV, amazing video !
one of the best tutorials
Sent everybody I know this thumbnail! With a link to your video! Hilarious creative thumbnail! Got a novation Sl mkIII a couple months ago and have loved watching all your videos as I've been learning! Thank you for this informative channel, and I'll be checking out your website soon!
So excellent! Thank you!
these are incredibly useful. thank you
Ughhh that subharmonics bit is so pretty
Super inspiring video mate.
hands and hardware are the best friends) nice video!
Thats awesome, i love the BEFACO Modules (DIY'd all of them so far). Seems the 0-Coast, which is on my top priority list goes well with them.
Looking forward to "Rampage" the "0-Coast" to continental shift levels.
Yes! Great; thanks for this. For (16:05 PWM 2) with Midi B gate out you can trigger the Slope and use Slope to trigger the Dynamics (as well as Overtone/Multiply at the same time of course)
You were killing it at 10:50
really great video again! thank you!
every single video you do makes me want to buy...
You’re a wizard with these things. 😳
This is killer. love your vids. Cheers
Thank you so much!
Thanks for your awesome content!
Can't wait to pair a 0-coast with my Pro2:).
Great video.
You , ARE amazing ! - And a gift of knowlegde - EXPENSIVE knowledge - Thanx ....i think...!?
I really like the sounds you are creating at 6:11. I have a Korg SQ-1 and a Future Retro Orb, so that should be possible - I won't be able to do the ratcheting with those, but at least they are closer to this non-linear feel you mentioned. I could even do the other connections as well. Looking forward to trying that experiment out... (Thanks for the inspiration! I just got my 0-Coast so lots to experiment with...)
Thanks man this was a helpfull one ♥️
Nick is going to dive into Euro after seeing this. Thanks for the BOC part, you didn't murder it ;-)
My pleasure. Which Nick....?
totally awesome
Damn i love your videos !
Thanks again for these
Oparation loopop 😊
I think it would be really nice if you did two or three base systems people could start with amazing as always my friend blessed be
The thumbnail made me hungry......thx for the clever video 🎼
Thank you for plaits :)
the subharmonic jam reminded me of MASS EFFECT 3
0-coast + Plaits ...pfff...love
Great video. I would also suggest for a very budget-friendly pairing, the humble Korg SQ-1. I can jam with just those two pieces for hours and get tons of great results.
dubdayafternoon the SQ-1 is an excellent recommendation for pairing with the 0-Coast.
I understand like 10% of what you are saying but it looks like fun
...This sub drop at 10:44, epic
Would love to see this with the Neutron!
Very cool, I’m so far away from modular in terms of knowledge and synthesis, but even for me it’s obvious that 0-coast is underestimated, and you are the only one who actually demonstrated how powerful and deep it is. Hopefully you’ll share few more vids with jams or more pairing setups with it. How about pedals ,tape loops and 0-coast setup?
Absolutely! Pedals are recommended in the video and while I love the organic nature of tape loops I'm too lazy and use a looper... maybe in the future...
Don't forget, you can also run your guitar through it!:)
Great demo... amazing sounds... learned a lot.
What what about the analog Novation Circuit Mono Station? Has both CV and MIDI out for up to 3 sequences.
Absolutely!
Worth mentioning that I could never get the CV output (now that you can route the Modulation sequence out of the Aux CV out as note CV) from the Mono Station to scale correctly with my 0-Coast - even just within one octave the tuning was too far out to be useful musically. Still had some fun triggering my 0-Coast using it, but it just didn't quite work as it should! Worked perfectly over MIDI though, though that way you lose/duplicate one of your sequences from the Mono Station.
I think I just pulled a brain muscle. Awesome sounds though!
The first thing to add to most semimodulars and synths would be a reverb and a delay pedal in my opinion.
There are loads of synths and gear circulating on the secondhand markets, making it relatively easy to try out things and resell without much of a loss.
After my first semimodular, a Mother 32, I bought another secondhand. But after buying a Doepfer low cost case and some modules, also used, I resold the second Mother and got a dreadbox nyx V1 instead. The secondhand Nyx was dead cheap to as Dreadbox has made a V2.
Bear in mind that some hyped and out of production gear can be really expensive, and that If you really want that sound or functionality, it can make sense to wait for a while as clones or remakes are likely to pop up.
My first external sequencer was an Arturia Keystep that I don't really like that much, except as a portable and decent keyboard. At the moment I use a Mutamix and just got a Doepfer Darktime. The mutamix was dead cheap and is good as a modulation source, and Darktime is really intuitive and great for instant melody and beat making. It has also made me rediscover new sides to my instruments.
I've also seen many enjoy and making great stuff with the Korg SQ1 both for semimodular and eurorack, so I suppose for that low price it is worth checking out.
Hi Loopop,
thanks again for this wonderful video! Talking about adding voices to O-Coast, I would be interested in adding the voice of another VCO and passing this throug the sound design of O Coast (adding harmonics and so on) is this possible? just addig the sound signal in the "Voltage Maths" mixer? thanks
At 13:25 you describe using the Keystep to control 0-Coast and Plaits separately using MIDI A and B. Please could you show how to do this? Would love to be able to play both sounds independently rather than layered and synched. Your videos are super useful, thanks so much.
Have the 0-Coast and Korg SQ-1 already so I think I'll be adding a Volca Bass and pitch the 0-Coast down an octave (or maybe even just a fifth) for some rich, creamy bass lines :)
Great video. Thank you! I would be curious your thoughts about Mother-32 versus the O-Coast. I prefer less usual surprising sound. Lean away from the typical Moog sound but I understand the Mother-32 is capable good experimental sound as well.
Thanks. I made extensive videos about both - from that point on its up to you to decide what’s right for you
Thank you for an inspiring and informative video. What is that little stand you are using for the 0-Coast?
Thanks! The stand is one of my less recommended purchases - it’s called a wej - it’s a great stand but overpriced due to other unneeded functionality...
I fell into the trap of believing it is was delicious spaghetti on the thumbnail and then I was like "hehe that's a smart move, they are actually confusing cables" !!
very nice!! Do you have a video explaining how to patch to make subharmonics as in minute 9:40?
Somebody forgot to check the description for links ;) Here's a link for the lazy th-cam.com/video/VzLhcJ6g14k/w-d-xo.html
@@robertsyrett1992 thanks!
i'm really late to the party, but seeing a self contained PWM on the 0-Coast, i now know i have to buy one, i'm newer to synths, and have kinda wanted this for a while, but i'm now convinced it's going to work perfectly in my ecosystem
Please don't buy this for the PWM... it's a workaround for fun, this has other strengths
@@loopop i understand it’s a work around, but breaking into modular/semi modular, it seems like being able to use things in multiple ways is a thing to learn with them. And that was just the proof i needed to show some more versatility out of this unit than i thought it had going on, and just gave me the nudge to think that this is the thing i want to play and experiment and learn more with
+1 for the ROYGBIV melody around 16 min mark
Cool-O. I thought for sure you’d have the E touché copulating with this crazy contraption.
Yes the thought crossed my mind! It would be a great partner as well
thanks man...really great. btw way, do you still find the MB2S useful?
Thanks - yes - the sequencer is still way ahead of others
Have you you planned a video about the korg monologue ? I'd like to see some microtunings n' tips
probably not. I hope to do a review of the XD though
you can convert cv to midi in vcv rack with the midi out module and just use your audio usb interface/usb to midi cable to send the cv (midi) to the 0COast
Hi @looppop I’m thinking of pairing my 0-Coast with the Analog Solutions Mr. Hyde filter box, do you think this is a good match? Thanks
How does this synth hold up vs. the Behringer Model D. I debating between purchasing those two.
Other than key step taking a standard synth Micro brute connected to a Roland sbx 1 with a sequencer is fine for transposition via midi to cv or gate control etc too. Yes ? Peace Christo 👽🐕🎶🛸
I bought a volca fm to pair with my o-coast. Do you think those will pair well?
Can I control the 0-coast with a keylab 49 mkII. It has cv out, but it doesn't have the seuences, right?
Gosh ! what a wonderful demo. My bank balance will soon be depleted
This probably a dumb question, but I noticed that you aren’t using the line out. How is the unit producing sound?
Oooooh, those are some rather neat tricks to say the least....
Out of sheer curiosity, what kind of stand did you have the RackBrute 6U on?
It’s called spike xl - see description
@@loopop Ah, many thanks. Did a quick skim through there, but totally missed it. Might have to pick up a few of those now...!
Hi Loop, is there more to be found in your Pdf, on how to pair the 0-coast with Elektron (Digitakt) devices and what the possibilities are? I can't quite get it right.
Not specifically - there are general tips, not specific combo ideas
Amazing stuff as always! Thanks so much. I am the proud owner of a 0 coast now and am absolutely loving it. One question of routing i had though. I hooked up the headphone output to a guitar delay stompbox which sounds wonderful...i have the output of that going into a portable zoom recorder, however i'm only getting it in one ear, which somewhat makes sense since it's not a stereo pedal. Is there a better way to hook this up to your knowledge? Much thanks for any help
Ahh, just figured it out. The zoom will not take a mono input... So it just shows up in the left channel. I can fix it in an editor. I guess a mixer would also solve the issue it go through an interface into a daw...
@@rhdwave thanks for the kind words re the video - another way I'd "solve" the problem is get a stereo reverb pedal and chain that after the delay ;)
You're welcome. Your vids are incredibly insightful and sonically wonderful. And, that's perfect advice on the stereo reverb at the end of the chain. Do you have any recommendations? I know the strymon stuff is top notch, but it's not in my budget right now
@@rhdwave My top recommendation would be H9 Max - I know it's not cheaper but you get that and you're "done". On the more budget side I would go for TC Hall of Fame 2 for $149 - I don't think it's a compromise compared to BigSky and I know people who'd say it's even better...
Thanks! The H9 is definitely legendary though as you said not cheap, but of seen some great demos of the hall of Fame 2. I'm going to revisit that one. S so loving the 0 coast btw. I have gone down some deep rabbit holes in the past couple of days (which is what I wanted) especially with the added delay. At times I feel like I'm communicating with or having a conversation with another dimension
Just got the 3U rackbrute and want to make 0-coast the center of that setup. Overwhelmed now but this helps as a starting guide. Would Muxlicer and Maths be a good combination?
Not necessarily - It really depends what synth you’re trying to build - though one can rarely go wrong with maths and muxlicer is nice too... all depends on where you want to go
@@loopop Thanks! I already like the sound of the 0-coast. Just looking for more ways to compliment it. I like to explore more FM sounds if that helps.
I say, take your time. Try out VCV rack, have a good idea of what you want in hardware form and only then buy it. These things are expensive... it's worth the research to figure out what resonates with you
Just great. Again.
How about a Make Noise 0-Coast - PM Microvolt 3900. No videos out there.
Hi, is it possible to simulate the PWM trick 1 with the external VCA using a Crave? How are the connections?
I found the solution:
“VCA
Apply a CV signal to the MIX 2 input. With the VC MIX control at a fully counterclockwise position, apply a 0V to positive CV signal to the VC MIX CTRL input (EG for example). This will dynamically determine the amplitude of the signal at the MIX 2 input that is passed to the VC MIX output.”
Hi, how do I sync dfam with 0coast? I have clock being sent from my digitakt over midi, and the 0-coast is set so that it sends the synced midi clock output from its tempo which is synced with digitakt, but when I plug in clk out to adv / clock on dfam it stalls the sequencer.
Is the PRGM-B button illuminated? Hold A button and then press B to turn that off.
Hello Loopop. I want to run dynamic microphone through input on maths section. Which is the best way to amplify the signal? Can some microphone amplifier under 100$ do the work (like Behringer Ultra gain)? Thnx, cheers
I’m not sure that would be enough. I use SBG by ALM - it’s a bit over that price though
Thnx very much for answer. I was looking for something that does not require eurorack stuff. I dont have PSU for modules...
what is that VCA? I was looking at intellijel quad vca but that looks much more interesting
Check out voicas.audio - it’s quite simple and no frills but does the job
Haha that subharmonic jam... modular porn ! Amazing skills sir :)
Can you do one on the MS-20?
If I get my hands on one!
How many patch cables do I need to use the 0-coast standalone… with no other euro kit… just the arturia 37
As far as I remember it comes with enough to get going
@@loopop thanks matey… I’m gonna order some extras I think… wondering how I safely pair it with the (banana) cocoquantus 2
Sorry, man - when those greedy Google folks threw a 3rd ad over your video, I had to bail. I could tolerate one or two ads, but it's never enough for them. I'm afraid their obsession with money is going to bring a lot of good things to an end. Cheers!
These videos take quite an effort to make and ads pay the bills. You can always get TH-cam premium which also pays creators and has no ads
@loopop My comment was definitely not a knock on you - I like what you do very much, and understand the financial dynamics for you as a creator. If a monthly contribution to your Patreon would suppress the ads, I'd do that in a minute. But I'm not giving a cent to Google - they have tainted the platform by choosing (as now seems invariably characteristic of corporations their size) to pursue revenue to the exclusion of all other considerations. Pretty much anything on the YT platform (other than completely obscure content that gets no views) has become unwatchable over the last 9 months or so, due to the huge increase in the number of ads. My 2 alternatives - to watch much, much less, or not watch at all - are both detrimental to you and the other synth content providers I enjoy watching. Unfortunately, watching ads with some video content sprinkled around them (which is almost literally the current reality for the content I like to watch, synth-driven and otherwise) is detrimental to me. All the best to you - I'll peek in from time to time and watch until I hit my 2-ad limit. I'm sure that will be plenty of time to see something interesting, given the excellent quality of your work. Cheers!
