I will admit one thing, the beats you made were great. one of the reasons I purchased this one after watching this video. It really seemed like this machine made creating music easy. I'm looking forward to playing with mine. Keep up the good work Ricky!
What a great module. So obviously useful yet comprehensible and apparently easy to use. I use a Mordax Data as my main clock source and been thinking about getting Pam's to free it up for other uses + I need more modulation so been eying Batumi for some time to. A combination of these two would be and do more but Mastro might give me what I need and bring a more hands on playable solution.
I saw the video manual on Acid Rain's product page and immediately thought this would be a killer interface for the BIA, then I load up your video and see the case and watch you demonstrate it and remove any doubt.
This is such a great module and really fun workflow and at first was wondering if I had made a mistake buying it. Now that I just added it to my setup and started working with it, really loving how creative it can modulate my patches.
I just realized that if you're driving the Palette 62 with a Digitakt, you have access to MIDI trigs. So you could drop the Steppy, and get either a Quadratt or Duatt for attenuation, possibly even space for the Digiverb. I know you can attenuate with the Lapsus Os as well, and that thing is a great module for the Palette 62 The more I play with my palette, the more I see it like a friend to the Digitakt's MIDI tracks. In short, like you I think this size/format is a great groove box but I think if you consider it as always traveling with a Digitakt, it takes on a whole new shape/purpose.
Man when I first saw the channel I saw the last name was "Tinez" so I was thinking this guy must be really into electric pianos, I kept waiting for a Rhodes solo or some funky Wurlitzer chords to come up but it was all just synths and drum machines. Finally clicked when I heard your full name enough times. Great informative content! Jah bless!
Dope module and presentation! Say, are these waves bi-polar and can you switch them to uni-polar? What are the voltage ranges? Seems like this module would pair great with Noise Engineering gear but it would be too much of a pain to offset that many channels to get them in range. Shame about the lack of attenuators as well, but I guess I could pair it with the ET Levit8 module..
@@fts4life hey Ryan from Acid Rain here lurking the comments ;P - the outputs of Maestro are switchable between 0V to 5V and -5V to +5V with the "bipolar" button (it's actually really fun to live play this button while patched to an input that can take bipolar, swinging the modulation into negative intermittently)
Did you stop using your Quad LFO? Did not see it in a while on your channel. I am considering buying it and I do not understand why it is not popular. Functionality is amazing.
Sewerslvt is probably mostly VST/software based right? I really like the newest EP a lot (even though the person behind the project is highly-questionable in terms of being a decent person), but the music on it seems way too clean-cut for any kind of hardware-based performance. A lot of the big reverb-y sounds on the new EP seem extremely digital, honestly.
@@xnflg3074 well yeah, they probably are, but sound is sound, regardless of how its made. i have alot of respect for Jvnko. she has been through some shit for sure. and she still has the drive to pour her feelings into art.
That thing is cool. I will never understand why so few LFO modules don’t come with attenuators. Their missing the boat with not being able to effect the phase. It is kinda like a knob per function PAM though PAM can do more.
So I read your comment and started thinking about phase....there's actually is a sneaky hack to adjust the phase of a maestro channel by using one shot mode, and then driving the trigger input with another maestro channel with a chain of low and high waveforms. Say the first channel is 1/2 down ramp, the driving channel could be a 1/8 chain of low, high, low, low which would offset the phase 90 degrees. Low, low, high, low would offset 180, and low, low, low, high would offset 270. These chains could be stored in channel memory and recalled as well! I know this is probably super confusing in text, I'll make sure to make a video explaining it :)
Hey Ricky, cann I ask you a question? Off the top of your head, MPC1000 or Digitakt? As in if you could only have one. Thank you for the great content!
It depends, if I'd want to jam out Samples and Drums with great live implementation, awesome sound, etc. - Digitakt all the way. If you want a DAWlike multifunction midi beast sequencer, MPC1000... After I got my Digitakt, my MPC1000 started to collect dust, sold it, never looked back. Digitakt is so much more fun, direkt, inspiring and simply makes so much sense. IMHO
Question. Being that it has 6 outs..if i don't have 6 modules or devices ,,can i take 1st output #1 and plug that into the 2nd channel #2 and modulate that? to get even a better response? if so i'm sold
Hi Ricky Nice Video . After I've seen your video and I'm thrilled, I'm thinking of buying this toy. I don't know if you've already found out, but I would be interested in how many steps are possible in chain mode? I couldn't find a hint in the manual.
Hey man, I'm gonna buy herman miller chair instead of elektron octatrack since their service is poor, and the community is just focusing on manipulation instead of firmware upgrade.
I really like the device, purchased one myself after watching a couple of videos including this one. However I thought this video jumped around allot, really not explaining very well the module. Not one of your better videos. Hard to follow what you was doing. Maybe spend more time with it first, collect your thoughts, then do your video. Just a little constructive feedback. Most all your videos I really like, this one not so much. Sorry
Yikes. That thing is clunky and pricey. At first glance, thought it was a matrix interface for assigning lfos. Nope. Then thought it must have a bunch of lfo shapes. Nope. Tempo driven lfos are great but Id prefer to spend the money on a couple modules that offer more advanced features.
Cool as, I’ve been hovering over the buy button on this one, it looks amazing, I can see the new firmware has internal attenuators!!

This is a really cool unit; you def had some great beats and bass lines going with it very quickly...

Cracked it at the end Ricky!
the Chainsaw! One of my fav sound sources. Thanks for doing these videos!
The Outro 😍
fk yeah!
Acid Rain seems to be really on point with their UI, very impressive!
Also, I’m dying for these Navigator kits!
so are we! It's been held up forever by a component shortage we can't avoid - hoping for a restock before the end of the year :)
I hope it’ll be a triple christmass present for myself 🍾
Either way, props on your UI! Eurorack needs more finger friendliness!
@@LYFoulidis we are all about finger friendliness :) Expect more in the future!
Sounds really good! The jam at the end was awesome 😎
Sick dood, don't stop doing what you do! Xx
Nice one Mr T. Would love to see you do a compact creation with this rig.
BIA is like a giant sweet spot
Dope outro!
How can someone be so cool 😭 If Ricky brought his sound and skill to our local techno club I would go absolutely nuts that's for sure
word
Been watching out on this lil guy for a bit. On my list since I love performance based modules.
Wow, this sounds great. Cool outro 👍
Could you have used one of the up LFOs to simulate sidechain compression on the BIA? Are they triggerable?
bro that fuckin outro jam was gas
Thanks Ricky! Would love to hear more about your thoughts on the acid rain chainsaw ;)
and dude your black theme in the palette looks soooooo good great camera work it really shows.

that final beat..dude
Yuuup
Yea so fuckn nice
Malekko Quad LFO is also quite capable at such things, actually. Less hands on, thought, but has attenuator

This is pretty cool, reminds me of the voltage block but taken in a different direction. Very Cool module.
Almost at 100k subs, congratulations man! I've been with you since your first PO-33 video. Keep at it, love your music :)
So when are you moving to Austin? Hahaha. Cool video man. Your Channel is inspiring
That looks pretty amazing.

@@acidraintechnology8913 Cheers for the reply, this is an important feature and sealed the deal for me. looking forward to playing with this.
right after u said "do I like that?" (then started noodling) you had me!!! NICE!!!
Ricky Tinez is The Master
It's just monday but I already feel like raving again
Did you stop using your Quad LFO? Did not see it in a while on your channel. I am considering buying it and I do not understand why it is not popular. Functionality is amazing.
Thanks for getting all techno-y on this vid Ricky!!! Think I need the Noise Engineering BIA now :)
that reverb is insane. it sounds like a sewerslvt song

@@acidraintechnology8913 DUDE! Makes perfect sense! Great idea.
bangin rhythms
Reminds me of a Macro Machines Omnimod but with two more channels and no screen :)
Hey Ricky, cann I ask you a question?
Off the top of your head, MPC1000 or Digitakt?
As in if you could only have one.

Any new music coming out soon Ricky?
love you enrique, thanks for the amazing vides..
you inspired me to get an octatrack, and i have a mk1 sitting next to me rn!
@@aaaper5522 nice! Thanks for hanging out :)
Jam at the end deep and fonky. Schweet.
Maaaaaaan every time you post it makes me wanna start a youtube channel.
12:00 but you have an attenuator in your case?!
Firmware 1.1 adds per channel attenuation!
Hi Ricky
Nice Video . After I've seen your video and I'm thrilled, I'm thinking of buying this toy. I don't know if you've already found out, but I would be interested in how many steps are possible in chain mode? I couldn't find a hint in the manual.
I just ordered one! Looks like a lot of fun and should pair really well with the Shapeshifter. Do you know how long you can chain the lfos?
For multiple synced LFOs (up to 8) I like the 1010 Music Toolbox. They can also be attenuated in-box.
A little off-topic, but what headphones are those?
I was kinda digging that wack, slow tempo...
yep
Same thought that's pretty cool :)
watching you jam is sik!
Imagine quantizing a long chain to a scale
Hey man, I'm gonna buy herman miller chair instead of elektron octatrack since their service is poor, and the community is just focusing on manipulation instead of firmware upgrade.
Chainsaw
This Thing is nice . Attenuation Would have made this perfect . Still Feel like performance Recoder / Sequencer would have made this into a beast .
Get some attenuator cables my guy.
How are you so cool?
Im lost
Time to get rid off my Fourmulator I guess... the Maestro suits better my needs.
