This video is perfect timing for me, just bought a 2nd o&c to use hemispheres with and wanted a comprehensive tutorial, the videos on hemispheres are scarce so far. Thanks!
I loaded hemisphere onto my o_c well over a year ago and have never gone back. I have to admit that I didn't have a clue what half of the apps did. You descriptions are clear and you give so many patch ideas to try out. Cheers
Man, this is such an amazing resource, my deepest gratitude. Your creative approaches are incredible, 1:21:11 adding the scale duet with the Skewed LFO is just amazing, you’ve taught me so much in this video, not just about Hemispheres but about creative approaches. THANK YOU!
Thank You... Thank You.... Thank You... This has inspired me to take a deep dive in Hemispheres. I recently installed my OC module into a small case alongside Maths, 4ms SMR, and Percall. The goal has always been using OC as the main module driving patches. This walk through along with your clear explanation have shown me how to creatively accomplish this goal.
Great video. Perfect timing for me too. Ordered a OC yesterday! This vid had to take a tremendous amount of time and effort. You’d have to feel a lot of enthusiasm for this module to make this. Very much appreciated!!
Thank you so much for this! I am the kind of person who needs musical examples for things and have been struggling but wanting to dig into hemispheres! This is just what I needed.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it’s a great overview! I just picked up an O and C with the hemispheres suite thanks to this, and I’ll be referencing your video a lot in the coming weeks.👍🙂
Hey, thank you for your time and attention to Hemisphere. Excellent video! I admire the way you showed cool interactions between alphabetical pairs of applets.
Excellent resource on Hemispheres. Thanks. Tip: Hemispheres fans should check out the Benispheres branch for an even better collection. And most of the material here applies.
great video! I modified the code for burst to include a probability setting, sort of like like the clock skipper so that I can set it to burst for example only 5% of the time. super useful change! clock skipper btw is super-useful if you think about it as a trigger skipper rather than a clock skipper. it's like trig probability on elektron machines.
Great clip. Hemisphere is a fantastic module. It gives you two cool modules that can be whatever you want them to be. Swiss Army goodness for weeks! But, don't discount the original O_C firmware. It is sublime when you take the time to explore (it's also more elegant than hemispheres IMO) Swapping the firmware is very easy - so don't be afraid to go back and forth Or better still, build two of them!
Great timing for me, been waiting a couple of weeks for my O&C with hemisphere loaded to arrive - my word there is so much in there and your video is a perfect overview of which modes are most relevant to my stuff! Cheers mate sub'd
yo thanks for doing this. there's definitely a dearth of good documentation and tutorials for this module & firmware. i'm sure it will be very helpful.
I'm planning to extend my actual modular setup (Mother 32 + Nebulae + Disting mk4 for now) you' (long) video definitely convince me to buy at least one (and certainly a second to run this os) O_c. This module will help to build a bulletproof 3u/84hp. thanks for sharing🙏 🙏 🙏
I am so happy to use this module for some time now, great with a very compact setup like mine (palette 62HP). The only thing missing to me is a melodic linear step sequencer like in the original firmware like Sequins. but you can always switch back to original firmware, it is just sad it is not bundled together. Great video that explained to me many aspects of the module with great examples, many thanks to you!
o_C looks very nice. Being a DIY guy I have been thinking about a generic module with CV and audio capabilities based on a Teensy 4.1. This not only boost the performance a lot (going from a 72 MHz M4 processor to a 600 MHz M7) but also adds USB Host possibilities. I guess it's time to start building a next generation o_C and start playing with some extra applications for this. With real audio in/out you could also create a VCO, VCA, filters, samplers and much much more :-D
One of the fun things is to use a clock skip to drive a sequence. Great way to break up a clock for a bit more sporadic patterns, but still tied to a main clock.
Massive job mate, big appreciation! I hate to have neglected my O+C awesome depths.. I had an Octatrack headache for far too long, lol... Just randomly skipping to that BitCrusher sound has me exited! LoFiTape sounded lush af too (in our hands at least) I think the Hempisphere is no brainer for O+C, stereo fun and double utilities. Just too often becomes an ADSR and a rhytmn generator due to the limitations of my rack. But how did I nopt have been using this stuff... That Mixer alone is just a perfect addition. Should build another for myself!
Like Pam's this is one of the no-brainer must-have modules that I cannot use because the display size is not compatible with my poor eyesight... This trend for miniaturisation should be reversed, we need bigger displays/fonts NOW...
@@SimpleTrax yeah too bad they banned analog single function per knob modules and you can only buy digital multimode modules now. Seriously, I don't get comments like this. Are you a cop? Why on earth do you care if other people like modules like these? No one is making you use them.
Sorry about your eyesight, the Calsynth o&c variants seem to have a slightly larger screen IIRC? I have shit eyesight as well, but I think imma pull the trigger on it.
Does the Ornament & Crime features euclidian LFOs? I know there is the App "Quadraturia". Doest this feature euclidian patterns for these LFOs? Similar to the Shakmat Mod-Medusa?
@@DashGlitch I found this vid, showing O_C featuring an app called "Piqued". There you can configure 4 channels of euclidian triggers, where you can define the envelope of the trigger, these can be triangels or whatever.
oh yea I use Piqued a lot, my one O_C is set to it almost always, it's just the quad mod generator, it still needs to receive a Euclidean trigger. In that video the mimetic digitalis is triggering the envelopes.
Hello everyone, Im looking for a mode in which I could be able to invert a signal, but I can't find any on Hemisphere.. anyone know if this is possible? Tks!
Altho I cant find this mode on the hemisphere official list, there is only the attenOff mode. I tried searching for the word "invert" on the modes list, but also couldn't find any mode for that :/
(new owner and new to modular) can you help? I’d like to use o_c into my daw via midi however it seems nearly every mode requires an external cv/lfo/clock trigger. Is there a single module I could use to operate all 50 modes? i.e. would Pams provide every possible trigger required? thank you for the incredible overview ☺️
I recently picked up a Pam's and I'm very happy, it is a tad overkill for just your solution I think, but I like to think you will expand the system and at that point it will become a swiss army. Otherwise another O_C or a Temps_Utile
Hi, thanks for the video. I think I have to rewatch a couple of times, haha. Do you know if there is a way to make the o&c generate a trigger or gate each time tve voltage coming into a cv input changes? Also I was wondering whether it is possible in hemisphere to limit the quantizer range, ie from c2 to c3 and if for example voltage according to f3 comes in it is quantized down to f2?
bought O_C Plum audio, thinking to have double sequencer, but mine only add some cv variation , am i wrong? atmosphere firmware can help to change mode (double sequencer mode) or not? ty
I'm confused about the gated vca. the gate goes into the trigger and audio into cv1? All I'm getting is pops but can't get the envelope on cv2 to show up from either output.
@@DashGlitch I think I was using input 1 and output 1. I did read that this applet is meant more for cv than audio I think. did u have success with audio?
this was fantastic. one of the very beset tutorial/overview videos i've ever seen which is not an easy task when it's such a behemoth of a module. i've watched a couple of times and because of that i have a pretty good grasp on most aspects. the one part that i really enjoyed and piqued my interest was the section using a dual quantizer on the left and Enigma Jr. on the right. just lovely, but i really need to ask a question if i may: how do you have that patched? would you mind describing or explaining it in a bit more detail? i'm guessing you're cross-patching right to left? the camera is just a bit too close to see for sure, but i'd guess the output of the Enigma is going into the quant, yes? if you could be a bit more clear on this patching i'd be so grateful! once again - stellar video - thanks so much!
Thank you! and yes, Correct - Enigma into the quantizer, Enigma is like a bank of turing machines or RNG's which can loop, they are great for creating sequences but are often atonal, so the quantized keeps the generated loops in key :) side-note, check out the alternative applet (in the select/save menu) called Darkest Timeline, it's a mix of a sequencer and Enigma with a bit of quantizing built in, it's a bit obscure but it's really fun to play with and reminds me a lot of the enigma quantizer combo
@@DashGlitch thanks a ton - that helps, and i will check out DT - but for a dummy like me (lol) can you tell me exactly how you patched Enigma into the quant on the left side? it's probably obvious to you, but O&C is still an Enigma to me! thanks!
Very usefull video. I just installed my O&C. Weird thing is that I can't find some modes... I was very interested in the Annular Fusion but it is not in my hemisphere list...Any tips on this ???
They're so significantly different that it's hard to choose, PAMs is the best at clock stuff hands down, and the 8 channels is enough for almost any sized rack. O_C is more of a replacement for a bunch of the other utilities, like voltage generators, attenuators, modulations etc.
Hey man you should do another run through on O_C with phazerville firmware if you have it. You have the best overview of OC i have seen. Im struggling to all hell to figure out how to use it
i have 2 disting ex's in my system which is quite powerfull as well eventho still a lil buggy , but i always wanted an O_C as well. im gonna get it for sure. seems to be a tremendous module!!
Damn, this looks awesome. I've heard the name so many times as my rack has been building, but never looked into it until now. Most of my rack is genuine MI modules, so I have a lot of these functions already, but there are some great ideas in there that I don't have, or haven't learned how to do yet, which makes it look like a worthy addition. One question, if you please - Will the CalSynth uO_C run all the same firmware updates / alt firmwares as the original 14hp? I don't have an issue with rack space. I will be buying some modules off CalSynth though, as the original MI modules are long since discontinued, and his clones are the only realistic way for me to find them, and his prices for brand new modules with 2yr warranties and smaller hp are the same or less than original used copies. Since I'll be getting his clones of grids/branches/peaks, I may as well get his uO_C too.
@@KNHSynths I've made them using Vital VST :) I have some tutorials on my channel to get that sound, then you can render the samples and load them into Disting :) I also have preset packs to buy on my shopify page (link in description) to make it a bit easier
@@DashGlitch Cool, I'll have a look to your shop. I have 4 distink and 1 EX but I never used the wavetable VCO. It seems to be an error... Thanks for the video and the information !
@@DashGlitch I would like to try the Plum-Audio OCP-X. Do you know this module? It seems to be an extended and four-part version of the Ornament&Crime? And its only 10 hp.
i want to try this mode but I am buying a acid rain chainsaw soon to do polyphonic stuff and I need the original apps. might have to buy another o_c and a million attenuverters haha
honest question: how is one supposed to remember all of this? i mean it's an insane amount of information that isn't really there to remind you later in a gig for example.
can i be a noob and possibly a dumbass and ask whether hemisphere includes any original apps from the OG O_c? I still want a quad quantizer and acid curd. Thanks!
@@DashGlitch thanks for the reply mate! I reckon switching firmware around is easy enough anyway, so i'll most likely dip my toe into both, starting with stock. Thanks again, and great video!
After watching most of your video (excellent stuff), I went and installed Hemisphere and started to have a look around. I have to say, I'm surprised that you are so excited about this firmware, yet you've not - if I understand correctly - really looked at the original firmware? Hemisphere's strength is that it can run as two apps. However, in comparison to what the original has (and does) is really more complex. As an example, in Hemisphere you have a couple of LFO apps, but very basic. In the original take a look at Quadraturia, a complex quad LFO with multiple shapes from very simple to very complex. Then, have a look at Piqued a quad envelope generator, which can be looped, and so used as an LFO too. Several sequencers (some using shift registers, others as note sequencers), all with the possibility to have multiple patterns, chained, looped etc. And the list goes on, you should take some time to have a look around. Anyhow, it's great to have the possibility of both apps, but to make it into an even better utility tool, it would be fantastic to be able to have both firmwares installed in the/a suite, and be able to choose (without reinstalling) one or the other.
I already wondered what this thing can do. I always see it in your streams and it looks really complicated. Seems like I was kinda right. Nice video though! Now I now how it's used and that its not my cup of tea.
I never used my µO_c with the apps I had too much menu, in the end you don't even understand what the hell you are doing. You convinced me to install hemisphere and basically have a powerfull usefull tool next to my disting EX.
This video is perfect timing for me, just bought a 2nd o&c to use hemispheres with and wanted a comprehensive tutorial, the videos on hemispheres are scarce so far. Thanks!
What I appreciated most is that you built off each mode introduced, reusing them in later example patches. Thank you for making this!
I loaded hemisphere onto my o_c well over a year ago and have never gone back.
I have to admit that I didn't have a clue what half of the apps did.

very cool, I wondered if I'd do it in french, but I'm sort of lazy, even if I use this lil beast on almost every patch.
Cool 👍👍👍
Why is this module so huge? The front panel space is not utilized well.
there's a micro version, but the micro tends to feel a bit squished imho, I have both actually but use the larger one for videos.
@@DashGlitch I would like to try the Plum-Audio OCP-X. Do you know this module? It seems to be an extended and four-part version of the Ornament&Crime? And its only 10 hp.
Some of the extended O_Cs don't work with hemispheres (firmware in this video), so make sure with the manufacturer before going that route.
nice video ......
looks like a better tool than es-disting
i want to try this mode but I am buying a acid rain chainsaw soon to do polyphonic stuff and I need the original apps. might have to buy another o_c and a million attenuverters haha
Well, you can always get an OCP and only need 999,996 more attenuverters :p
honest question: how is one supposed to remember all of this? i mean it's an insane amount of information that isn't really there to remind you later in a gig for example.
How does one remember to speak language? Repetition
More flexible than Disting EX? :> That thing has like a 100 algos by now and you get 2 distings! (at the price of 2 distings hehe in € and in HE).
Jesus! It’s a melody!
can i be a noob and possibly a dumbass and ask whether hemisphere includes any original apps from the OG O_c? I still want a quad quantizer and acid curd. Thanks!
No sadly not
@@DashGlitch thanks for the reply mate! I reckon switching firmware around is easy enough anyway, so i'll most likely dip my toe into both, starting with stock. Thanks again, and great video!
After watching most of your video (excellent stuff), I went and installed Hemisphere and started to have a look around. I have to say, I'm surprised that you are so excited about this firmware, yet you've not - if I understand correctly - really looked at the original firmware?
Hemisphere's strength is that it can run as two apps. However, in comparison to what the original has (and does) is really more complex. As an example, in Hemisphere you have a couple of LFO apps, but very basic. In the original take a look at Quadraturia, a complex quad LFO with multiple shapes from very simple to very complex. Then, have a look at Piqued a quad envelope generator, which can be looped, and so used as an LFO too. Several sequencers (some using shift registers, others as note sequencers), all with the possibility to have multiple patterns, chained, looped etc. And the list goes on, you should take some time to have a look around.
Anyhow, it's great to have the possibility of both apps, but to make it into an even better utility tool, it would be fantastic to be able to have both firmwares installed in the/a suite, and be able to choose (without reinstalling) one or the other.
I already wondered what this thing can do. I always see it in your streams and it looks really complicated. Seems like I was kinda right.
Nice video though! Now I now how it's used and that its not my cup of tea.
this is like a swimming pool full of little knowledge nuggets
👏🏾
I never used my µO_c with the apps I had too much menu, in the end you don't even understand what the hell you are doing. You convinced me to install hemisphere and basically have a powerfull usefull tool next to my disting EX.
Great vid. Too much Reverb.
