This is one of the best and most straight forward videos, that show how something usable in live performance, can be built on the 301. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the kind words! I've been following you on instagram for a long time and your stuff is always super inspiring. Hopefully some new content will be coming soon but I'm in the middle of some intense job hunting.
Thanks for this demonstration! I also use these three modules, Per|former, fader bank (sweetsixteen), and 301. Giving me lots of patch ideas. I've been doing something similar with Per|former and Sample Drum to sequence slices/samples with v/oct.
No problem, and it's cool that we have a similar setup! I love this little system and I'll be definitely be demoing it further as I build more patches for it.
Thanks for sharing this...I really like this approach to using the 301 with drum samples...Subscribed......I hope to get one......well somehow....see ya back on facebook......
Hey I am curious as to what you mean by any DC coming in your audio path (Slow moving CV?) and is this the case with eurorack in general? CAn you please share some examples where it could happen? Thanks :)
Sure! DC signals are indeed slow moving or not moving at all, typically used for control-rate CV: sequences, most LFOs, envelopes, offset, etc. Audio-rate stuff is AC meaning that it is periodic and has a very high number of cycles per second, which moves your speakers, which makes air vibrate, which we perceive as sound, etc. In general it's a good practice to AC couple (read: slap a hi-pass filter around 30hz on an output or before an input) at least the final output of your modular synth as there's a good chance in any patch that you will introduce DC somewhere into the signal along the way, and DC can limit headroom on mixers and otherwise muddy a signal headed for other equipment. Shakmat makes a 2hp, quad fixed HPF specifically for this application. Whether or not there is DC offset in your audio path depends entirely on the modules and patching employed. DC coupling is, however, common in modular because it allows greater flexibility in terms of inputs for, say, mixers: you may want to use the same mixer to merge audio and/or cv signals. Mixing in DC offset with a signal going into a distortion or wavefolder is also a classic technique as it can affect the flavor of the output drastically. You may want to AC couple an audio signal which is FMing an oscillator, as you don't want a DC offset affecting your carefully calibrated tuning. Here's a good article from NE explaining everything quite clearly: www.noiseengineering.us/blog/2017/5/12/ac-vs-dc-coupling-what-where-why
Keep an eye on the Orthogonal Devices twitter, seems to be where Brian drops info about the store. I think he said there should be another batch of 301s by July.
I think these videos are great, the ER-301 is very good but has a high learning curve, I'm slowly getting on thanks to these tutorials. I also have a sweet sixteen but I can't get it to work, which firmware do you use for the tesseract?
Glad you're enjoying the videos! Unfortunately I am using a F8r, not a Sweet Sixteen. You might get some tips in this thread over at the OD forum: forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/i2c-setup-with-16n-faderbank/3221/262 That post is nearly a year old so maybe a fix has been pushed to the latest firmware by now? Anyhow, good luck!
@@crumbdinger4990 yep! I wanted to make sure I didn’t know about any other places. (This is the one I knew of) I was lucky enough to purchase one of the few ones he made this month and getting shipped in a week. Which means I am doing my homework (so I appreciate your video immensely!)
@@TRaddcliff I personally have no experience with the FH-2. I assume it’s pretty fast but the overall speed must depend on your computer and DAW. If you’re using a dedicated controller or hardware sequencer it’s probably very tight. I2C is as fast as I could ask for, though.
@@crumbdinger4990 thanks for reply! I’m not super technical :( I found this 2hp module made by someone on lines forum. Trying to find out if it does general MIDI or if it’s dedicated to the Teletype module. If it does what I hope it does, I’ll be pretty stoked. Thanks again
Mad tips, especially with the slew after the grid quantiser, that's really nice! I'm interested in what you did with the sequence from the Performer? Is it random or programmed?
Thank you! Hmmm, probably a combination. I usually start with the random generator and then tweak things to get them more in line with where I want to go.
I came here looking to see this in action (so far BitBox is my kinda sampler even if Assimil8r has higher resolution) but all I saw was a lot of talk talk talk, (I HATE all talk no demo videos!) and no demos of all those things it could do and then, at the end, mundane uninspiring sounds. Not giving a thumbs down, but I hate all talk and no demo. I prefer NO TALK and ALL demo.
Well, it's a tutorial for beginners you know. The thing sounds pristine if you're using it as a straight up digital synth, or it sounds like the recordings you feed it. I will keep your HATE for talk-heavy demos in mind and maybe do a patch from scratch vid with it in the future.
Great video. I love the 301. A really inspired device.

Wow. That quality! I would have SO MUCH fun with this beast! 🦖🦖
I just wanted to add, your super amazing with your creative process on a logical ecosystem. Evidence is in that beat son!
@@LikeMinds_ thank you!
This is a great video. Its really helpful to see the tools the 301 offers with practical musical examples. Subscribed, thanks. Hope to see more!
Thank you very much for subscribing! New material pending.
this is so great!. Thank you for explaining everything! well done my friend.
Good Stuff! Keep it coming please !
Ahh, stutter glitch oriented er-301 video would be much appreciated
@@michalkuligowski4538 hmmmm good idea!
This is very helpful, I hope you do more of these.
Awesome 👌

Been trying to get one of these things for a minute. Damn near impossible.
I was hoping for more detail on editing slices, particularly how tf to zoom. There used to be a zoom button.
Hold down the coarse/fine button while turning the encoder to zoom waveforms. Coarse for horizontal, fine for vertical.
Nice video tutorial! Keep making these! Subscribed!
Thank you! More to come soon!

Link to where you downloaded the extra programs from?

what brand of the patch cable？😮❤
ctrl crono!
sick man.
so you're connected via i2c then?
The F8R in this system was hooked up via i2c. Things have changed a bit since, now i sequence via i2c with a Teletype.
@@crumbdinger4990 I’m using an FH-2 with mine. I wonder if i2c is faster?
Thanks for reply.

I clicked 35 times in a row at random spots in the video trying to find the sound of it actually playing and didn't find it
You could have saved yourself about 33 clicks if you had read the description ;). There's an extended demo using the whole patch around 20:50.
