Here’s an I dea for content. You are great at explaining stuff so I’d love to see a video on how to get from an initial loop idea to a full song. Arranging and stuff like that
Another great way to learn a module is to have a friend take a crack at it and observe. I have seen friends come to modules that are totally new to them with very different initial approaches (you can help them out with a quickie tutorial), and these can be instructive for your own workflow.
Idea for video: low pressure parasocial hangout. You make some music at your own pace, feeling no pressure to really perform, and we just vibe, feeling no pressure to interrupt. When in doubt, acid house and puppies.
What makes your content great especially in a video like this, is you aren’t just reading from the manual at the audience. I personally love being able to compare how I would intuitively approach a module vs what you end up doing for example. It’s also a great way for folks to see “what to look for” on first approach before reading manuals. Applies to all experience levels, it’s one of the reasons that makes music so awesome. I’ve been of the mind over the past couple years that honing in on intuition is what makes you more susceptible to the options off the bat - where the great ideas come from more naturally. Great content and jams!
I love this method and your explanation of it. Being willing to mess around is really powerful, but retaining in your head a list of what doesn't make sense yet is very useful.
I have a bad habit of learning only one or two ways to use a module, and always using it that way. Thanks for the reminder I really should learn more buy just playing. The jams were more than good enough. I really liked them both.
Great video! Here's an idea for content - I would love to see you do something similar to mylarmelodies and put together a small case with modules you would think are essential for certain genres/approaches to making music. Maybe a small groove box like case, an ambient one, a performance based one, etc. You could make a whole series out of it. Of course, you do you. I'll watch anything you upload mate :)
Great video - I'd love to see more process and noodling content. I think this is the first time I've seen MIDI out to MIDI in without leaving the rack (though I'm sure it's not the first time someone has done it), and... it feels weird. Like almost in opposition to how I think about patching with analog CV signals. It makes me wonder if I'd have to configure MIDI channels and spend time debugging a one-wire connection between two modules. That's all totally my cognitive bias and there's obvs nothing objectively wrong with in-rack MIDI - I just associate that paradigm of digital connection and control with software and standalone hardware, and have a mental model of modular where all the icky digital signals are hidden behind tidy faceplates and never leave their homes. So yeah, you've given me something to think about & research.
Seems like you just used this format on a lark but it's very good for teaching. We discover as you do but you, with your expertise can extend your knowledge quickly, giving more novice users a direction to head when starting out. I think you are on to something.
Check out the ACL Sinfonion! I'd love to have the Polycinematic (sounds great!) but I need 1v/o in per voice. By the way, fun running into you at that pub in Duvall this past weekend. Cheers!
I consider myself a modular skeptic. I believe in its potential, but usually it’s just sounds and noise wanking, and not musical, you are the rare exception. I need to learn modular from you.

Great video (as always) but just had to say the 'Whilst' is a proper word [conjunction] during the time that; at the same time as. I'm crap at making music but I'm good at googling 😘 but as I said I really do enjoy your videos.
Ive released versions of the tracks in this video as the Born Out of Flame EP: fanlink.to/rmrboof

Wow, that first jam deserves to be a full track, really liked your singing in it.
oh that jam at 12:20 is beautiful. love it when you do songs with vocals.
Gonna get it up on Spotify! Thanks for the encouragement
The outro jam was incredible! Same category as MODERAT and APPARAT 🙌
Check my most recent short. EP is out!

I don't learn modules man the module learns me.
Oh snaaaaaaap

The song at the end is definitely a keeper!
Probably one of the best videos in the history of videos.
Thank you ❤️
Love the singing Jeremy!! Amazing chord structures. Love this module

I love your modular spaceship jams. And I loved your singing!
"It's good enough". It certainly is! I am striving to own that type of finality in music production.

Jeremy, your music is magical.
❤️
i love what you're doing here, this process is good stuff, and difficult to understand from the outside
I fucking love a good manual, people don’t really enjoy talking to me too much.
Haha loved it, it was crying to be turned into an Underworld type of track right off the bat 🙌
Music in this is some of my favorite that you'd made
Thank uuuuuu gonna get it up on streaming
thanks Jeremy, love hearing you go through how you learn , very helpful. Cheers!
Cool vid Jeremy, it’s great to see your process explained in detail. Also cool jams.
Whhhoooaaa I was not prepared for that second song. That's a fuckin sadcore banger. Music is so fuckin cool.
The song intermission was nice.
Are these modules colored that way for a (very cool) reason??
They are to me
Killer jam. Thank you for this Jeremy!!
Really nice approach, loved your bass sound by the way, already struggling with space here and it just got worse now…
I think I need that first jam, as a full track!
Very cool thank u I am just now looking into the euro rack route so this content is super helpful!
Is the vocal processing in the first jam done in Euro? the whole thing absolutely slaps.
curious about the vocal chain too!
no, thats vocalsynth and nectar in the daw afterwards.
Great video - I'd love to see more process and noodling content.

That second jam is absolutely killer holy shit 💜
Gonna get it up on streaming and stuff soon
How did you make the voice at 20.56min?

But it's SO BIG
Great songs in there sir!
8:00 The look - Metronomy sound
More jamimng sessions please
When you find a British word, fun happens.
I don't know what's going on but I still like your videos
Thanks. Have you tried to play chord on a multisampled in the micro beatbox?
No but you could
Awesome! Thanks!!!
11:14 _Robot Waiting Room_ ?
nice

Do other Modules aswell :D I do not like learning alone
Tasty delicous content in my faceholes
So you have the Nahushtan tattoo, are you gnostic christian?
Or it it just a symbol of healing for you?
the latter

no Jeremy I have never seen ghost hands, what are ghost hands please tell us
:3
