Patch from Scratch of a Techno Modular Synth

- post edit realizations:
- I forgot to mention how important it was to me to have no jacks on the bottom half of the bottom row, thats where the hands go on this case. I made another video about that when I got some of these modules: • Hooking Up and Playing...
- My side chain envelope from Maths had long attack which made it a bit late to respond to the kick trigger, could've been tighter in the quick live patch here.
- I called the LXR the "drum sequencer" at least once.
- I still have the sniffles
- Why isn't that three letter acronym in the morph settings on the LXR to choose a kit called "KIT" instead of "MTG"?

It's a rainbow unicorn bandaid btw
heck yeah it is. One thing ive learned in life, never mess with a man wearing a rainbow unicorn band aid.
what a fascinating workflow, putting the whole mix through the 100grits and nautilus - you have so few voices too but a lot of cool noises, very inspirational for my own case
Thanks! I think even across both of my two cases, polygogo is the only traditional "oscillator" (though LXR has obviously tons of voice elements in the drum-space). The 100grits and nautilus add more than enough to fill out the mix. There's plenty of times where polygogo is just a drone or maybe an after thought in this case and a track still rarely feels empty (to me at least).
I agree with that. So much movement out of that nautilus love it.
That LXR sounds amazing! I always get a kick out of that chain you have going of the drum sequencer to the LXR and eventually through the 100 grits. Nice way to gain stage it too and use the lapsus for control. Very fun!
Black Hole makes some beautiful cases. Can’t wait to update/downscale my case to one of theirs.
This is the definitive walk-through on this case, now. Glad you mentioned that audio paths tend to be similar whereas your modulation changes more, patch to patch. Excellent results with the new Xfade 1U. Best thing about all your case-design videos is how we get to see you choose tradeoffs under limited resources. That’s a big topic for modular music making, and it’s nice to see you hold the line against (e.g.) adding another case.
Perhaps not clear to all viewers, you already compress a great deal of functionality into this rack by choosing big high-end modules. There’d be no way to squeeze this much flexibility out of the same rack space of classic component analog modules.
good point. There are of course near infinite ways to of course assemble and approach modular, but this one definitely is farther from the "patch programming" end of the spectrum and what you could pull off in the same amount of HP with a pure Doepfer lineup or something.
Really great ! Thanks you!
you know you do say “we” a lot…
Does that mean I am a co-owner of case A and B?? perfect!
When can I come by and borrow my case a for a little bit and I’ll bring it back… 😂😅
Great videos btw!
they are the people's cases 😄

Interesting walkthrough as usual. Since the nautilus has so much stereo movement on its own, I would be curious to hear you patch through a solo 100 Grit and then get your stereo imaging just from the delay.
great suggestion. that'd open up the second 100 grit for other fun independent uses as well. I could also run them in series and get something really gnarly into the nautilus too...

Sounds like you need a gate delay for the drum sequencer. The Black Sequencer got gate delay settings added in a recent update, but I don't know about the DS.
Have you thought about switching the two 100 grit distortion modules with a NE Versio module? The Ruinio Versio is a nice stereo distortion DSP, and you can swap the firmware out for any of their other Versio firmwares. You could fit two Versios in that HP and get two sets of stereo processing!
Yes definitely contemplating that. Although instead of two versios I’d probably do the distortion one, then use the other space for an Overseer and MSCL maybe? Hard to find those Overseers though!
@warbasse IF YPU CAN GET AN OVERSEER DO IT. II like the Messor Compression module better than MCSL
Regarding your accents (I do not have the drum sequencer):
- Do you have the latest firmware on the drum sequencer?
- Did you read the manuals of the two modules?
- The LXR accepts 5V for accent input, the drums output 10V by default. You can change it to 5V.
- You can modify the pulse width of the triggers in the sequencer. Maybe that helps for the syncing.
I would like to know the answer to these questions since I've thought about getting this sequencer for the accents
@@klownklocked8064 it is a common issue that accents are not standardized and sometimes you need to get creative for conversion.
The Erica Drum Sequencer has 10V trig out for accent and LXR accepts 5V gate in for accent (Erica synths drum modules are known for wonky accents). A change in the sequencers config should solve the issue. A friend has die LXR module but I cannot test it with the sequencer. Maybe @warbasse can confirm?
sorry just seeing all these. I'm going to dig back into this later this week and see if I can get it figured out. I'll follow up
@Black Coffee Now appreciate the follow up! 🤞on that next release
@@thismeanswarbasseBump. Also considering both the LXR and the Drum Sequencer.
I've been pleading with Eric to make a stereo 100 Grit. :D
Hah! I chatted about it briefly with him on IG too. That’d be so so nice
@@thismeanswarbasse I just sent him his annual reminder. :D
does the erica drum sequencer allow you to play the triggers and record it in ?
Yep there’s a step/tap mode you can play live and then enable recording to play in the pattern to save it
How do you like the Xfade 1U?
Solid for what it does. Only personal complaint is I wish the panel had a rotated print on the back so it could be flipped and still readable. The CV output is great, curve selection solid too. The actual fader itself is very fast and loose like a traditional DJ fader, which takes a little getting used to
