    Don't ever stop what your are doing Mr. Melodies. You are really fantastic at exploring modular ideas (the generative music, and melody progression). I think it's great that you share these concept with the modular world with such a light, but still deep, fun and informative approach.
    A great personality exploring great ideas. Keep it up!!

    Thanks for this and especially for not assuming that we all know what utility modules like switched multiples are. Really helps me to know what it is I want for my system. Also, great jam at the end. Cheers!

    In case you plug it just like that, it combines through 1k modular level output impedance(standard short protection resistor that 99.9% modules has). So i think it is perfectly fine to do it, it is fool-proof. But if one is 0 and another 5, you get two resistors in series with ouptput in the middle-> voltage divider with 2.5V on the output. So it may not flip some thresholds. Normally you OR-wire gates through diodes, so drop is just around -1v.

    • @kttkttkt
      @kttkttkt 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      yep, A-186 is diode based "or wired" multiple, so it would be the same
      and for the money you can solder 6 of them, only danger is, that it will suck your soul into the DIY synth world

    Good essay. While I’m not in this for live performance or dance music, it’s still helpful to go through the thought process, and certainly bits of this thinking are perfectly applicable to my own stuff. For example, I can immediately see from this how I would benefit from a simple switched multiple.

  • @JustinUrban1
    @JustinUrban1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This has become my new musical mission. I’ve never done modular so I’m trying to figure out how to go about it. I did get the Rhythms sequencer. I have the Neutron semi modular and I have the black box version of the Lifeforms SV-1, which I intend to mount to the Roland SYR rack I just got.

  • @CapRockout

    Man, I'm kicking myself for not having watched this and your live rig videos sooner. I've watched plenty of your other videos (and subsequently ordered many modules), but in this one you have nailed what I've been wanting to do with my own rack's percussion. There are times when I want to be able to deliberately input my own rhythms, but also times when I want a bit of randomness and variation or just add complexity. Definitely getting myself a switched multiple! Lots of other great ideas too. I'll be jamming in no time. Cheers!

    You'd be better off making an or gate with switches really. If you combine gates like this you're relying on the modules you're using to to have protection. They usually do, but it's best practice to use or gates, or mixers obviously.

    If you're only using the switched multiples for gates and triggers, you would be much better off doing a DIY switched OR logic module. Look at the Low Gain Short Bus. It's basically the exact same passive module you already made, but with diodes on each switch to make sure the voltage only flows in one direction. Look at the picture of the module on Schneidersladen, you can see front and back.

    This is a really sick setup. It's really clever how you use it as a "" groove box "". Eurorack is intimidating as it is. This video for some reason make it look a bit more friendly. One thing thing I would point out are those on off switch on the left of the casses. I would stress me out playing live and I'd accidentally turn off on of the racks. I been mixing for over 20 yeas and when ever I where a big sweater the sleeve sometimes moves the pitch specially if the turntable/ cdj is to close to mixer.... Just a thought. Keep these vid coming..

    Love it, excellent ideas for self-generative beats... I’ve just picked up a Grids, and other than the obligatory play around after unboxing, not had chance to play it. But this has given me a strategy now to just go fully generative with a Plog and a Turing Machine, and not just treat it like a simple drum sequencer!

How do you think the grids + circadian rhythms compares with the trigger riot?

  • @darkwinter6028
    @darkwinter6028 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    On your switched multiple, insert some current limiting resistors between the switch and the jacks to prevent damage to the output drivers. Off the top of my head, something in the 5K to 10K range should do. However, to do this properly, the output drivers really should be connected via an OR gate...

    I have encountered issues combining passive outputs an/or combining diode outputs w/ voltage drops that can cause modules not to trigger --- Synthrotek passive OR Module (diodes used)s a cool 8-chan diode (A-A&B or B --->out switch ) Synthotek "OR"
    Like DIY?
    I really dig these (2) BARTON DIY Modules:
    For signal switching/routing (cv or audio ) or creating rhythm patterns BMC39
    Very inexpensive and lots of fun
    BARTON BMC45. Matrix Router
    Store and recall 16 analog switch routing patches
    Select patch 1 - 16 with CV input and send a pulse to Load it
    {Send any of the 4 inputs - triggers, gates, cv’s, audio - to any of the 4 outputs }
    BARTON BMC39 Step Rhythm Sequencer
    One can select any on/off sequence within a even numbered note events 4,8,16 up to 32 trigger events and Save into channels A and B to later Load any (2) of the saved 16 patches

    Nice video, thanks. One thing I didn't quite understand: If the Grids accent advances the switch to the accent input, what advances the switch back to the non-accented input? And why do you need the switch at all--couldn't you just plug the Grids accent out to the drum module's accent in?

Just got a seq switch last week and started shuffling gates too but now i need another for pitch sequences! also got a radio music to build Im curious tho, you only have the one sequencer, I know its the mighty metropolis but is it playing the braids and atlantis? do you feel you need more pitch sequencers?

      @@mylarmelodies I think I just swamp the soundscape in bass. Because bass is nice. I’d lov/appreciate a video from you on this subject, EQ and avoiding overlap etc etc, your stuff is pretty much what I aspire to make! Thanks for your responses.

    Beginner question here: how can I add variation to velocity if I’m using, for example as this is my current plan, a trigger riot into a Vermona DRM1? Is there a module or method to achieve that? I’ve been using TR08 & 09 so far but it’s not working for me as well as I’d like when it comes to quick changes.

      Thanks! If the DRM1 has velocity input then possibly yes - if it doesn't, you could pass the entire DRM audio output through a VCA and control it with a step sequencer to add velocity too it...?

      Awesome, and I’m guessing I could use the individual outs on the drm to do that to just hihats for example. I’ve seen you mention the Ladik S-143 for this job, is that a good option or are there others you would recommend? It’s small and cheap both of which I like the sound of 🧐

      @@stuartbennett4301 you could modulate the velocity (if it exists) or the vca level as mylar suggested with stepped voltage from something like Pam's, or a Turing machine, or a S&H connected to noise or whatever to add velocity variation to your hi hats or other percussive elements. There are probably other ways to do it too.

      Thanks 👍🏻 I went with a Trigger Riot, Squid Salmple and just added Euclidean Circles. I like the two sequencers very much and the Squid is a good module but im a bit underwhelmed by the sound and the combined outputs are irritating when it comes to adding effects.

    how do you make that passive multiple? is there a diy page for it?

      I have for patrons but it’s very very simple, just look at a pic of the Doepfer passive multiple PCB and reverse engineer it! ;)
