Eurorack Patch From Scratch & Gear Talk: Sequencer-less Organic Texture Patch
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.พ. 2022
- I've been fielding a lot of questions about my Eurorack patches, gear and techniques over the last 6 months or so, and today I finally got round to doing a patch from scratch video that will hopefully answer a lot of queries, and inspire you wigglers to try out some new ideas 😊
I've tried to keep this video accessible by using modules that a lot of people with have in their system, a couple of VCOs, a noise generator, a mixer and a wavefolder are the key ingredients, full list of what i used is below.
You can check out my latest release 'Building the Forest' via bandcamp here:

Modules used:
Instruo CS-L
Verbos Noise & Filter
Doepfer Stereo Mixer A138s
Joranalogue Fold
Happy Nerding VCAx3
Monsoon (clouds)
WMD Fracture
SSF Vortices
Konstant Labs BaxandallEQ
Bizarre Jezabel Mimosa
Doepfer Clock Divider A160-2
Beface Rampage - เพลง

Hey everyone, thanks for all the amazing feedback 🙂 A few people seem to struggling to get a similar result when trying the LFO and noise mixing trick. I forgot to mention in the video, you'll get different results with different mixers, it really depends on how much headroom the mixer has and whether the mixer amplifies signals or not. I've demonstrated it here with the fairly inexpensive Doepfer A-138s and it works great. I can also confirm it works well with Serpens Hydrus, NLC Clump, SSF Vortices, Bear Modules Matrix Mixer, Doepfer 138-M Matrix Mixer.
You could also try putting a static DC voltage to the mixer to push the summed signal off the 0 volt axis and smack it into the edge of the mixer's headroom.
Even if you can't get the same result directly from your mixer, mixing noise with an LFO is still a useful technique for crunchy sounds. Wavefolding, amplifying and compressing the output should result in something fun. Experiment!
This chanel is the sheeet :)
I was wondering and apreciate immensely if you had time to answer a noob :
a friend of me Borrowed two synths from me and his car got stolen.
Now he asks me to accept some eurorack modules in return,but i have NADA knowhow and info on eurorack.
So : does these modules work together
: Intellijell PLONK / ATLANTIS/RAINMAKER/SHAPESHIFTER
erica DRUM SEQUENCER/FUSION/PICO SYSTEM 3/
If they dont, would it help to buy either of these systems to make it work?
doepfer a 100 system
Erica black system 2
I really hope you or someone with some knowledge would take time out.
Keep up the good work.

If I remember correctly the manual of vortices explicitly talks about effects of adding DC to your audiosignal for different styles of saturation. But using dynamic DC is a great idea!
@@blitzkreiscollective520 yep! works great with distortion modules too, adds some movement to the character of the clipping
@@joaquinhino as long as you've got a eurorack case to put them in, there's heaps of fun to be had with those modules together :)
@@Earther._ Great thank you so much ! They come in a 9U arturia case, but i dont knmow if there's an out from it ot if Ill need to run everything through a mixer. BUt cool, Ill have a go. BEst of days to you😊
This is by far the most inspiring and helpful video about eurorack patching I've ever come across. After watching this, I felt like I've been at couples therapy with my rack :D Thank you!
Also I just finished listening through "Building The Forest" for the second time. Amazing work and skills, very inspiring!
Ben Carey has brilliant patching videos similar (but even more in depth) to this th-cam.com/video/53YnBCsTV0w/w-d-xo.html
Insane ideas in this. Very unique content
Very informative video, love the organic dynamics you’re got out of this patch.
Thanks for this video, not just the information but also the calm explanations! This is a great resource!
This is gorgeous, excellent work my friend. Keep it up!
Crazy, was thinking about sending you a message the other day asking all of these questions! Love the things you get out of the modular, thank you for this! 🙏
Really interesting synthesis ideas here that also sound awesome! Thank you!
Monster patch, big ISAM vibes!
Wow! Amazing patch man! Thank you so much for sharing it! I hope there will be more like this!
Glad it was helpful, I'm sure there'll be more in the coming weeks 🙂
Great patch and sounds. Nice to see the process behind building these textures from simple components. Lots to explore. Shout out to the plant patch assistant!
great video on an interesting technique and well explained. I've been trying these techniques out previously, but hadn't tried out the tube after the mixer, and picked up a few other techniques as well - keep up the great work and thanks for posting this! :)
Please do more of these! This is crazy inspirational! This video inspired me to get started with modular!
That was super awesome! Great work! Really hoping to see more videos like this!
Thanks! There'll be more for sure :)
Thanks a lot ! I learned so many things watching that video.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Super inspiring. I’m definitely going to grab that Verbos Noise & Filter.
Such a handy little module!
Absolute beast of a sound. Great ideas and I love your use of the Fracture, got my eye on it too. Looking forward to more of this!
Cheers!
Awesome stuff Micheal, demo patch worked out great. Thanks for sharing some of your techniques. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thank you!
Thank you! Would love to see more patching from scratch videos!
Nice idea, very interesting stuff, and this for me has been one of the best modular videos I've watched in ages.
Hey man! I really enjoyed your approach to patching - very inspiring.
Cheers!
Really sick patching mate!
I’ve watched this about ten times now. Love this patch and exploring the sub frequencies mixing and no sequencer.
Bought the 138sv vintage mixer. I thought it best to get this one to achieve a similar results with sub audio signals.
This is great content!! ✌️
Mate I watch this video once a day everyday lol great patch
So inspiring. Thanks. 🙏🏻
Love this! Thanks
Thank you for this !!!
Awesome video
Man I loved this !
Cheers man! Hope you got something out of it 🙂
At about 18:45 the automatic subtitles interpreted the patch as "Applause"
I couldnt agree more. Excellent video.
Half way thru this vid and already picking up some ideas. Definitely going to put something together and reinstall my old Doepfer matrix mixer with a pair of Flight of Harmony Plague Bearers.
damn, that was great !!
Thank you for this! Very informative and good patch! It’s such a relief to not hear sequencer based sounds. With literally millions of patch possibilities, why not venture out? I enjoy the territory you are exploring in working this way.
Thanks very much Bob, I totally agree!
Very interesting indeed
Thank you, super inspiring stuff! 💚
Thanks!
@@Earther._ I did some experiments of my own using my Tšl in LFO mode mixed with white noise from Intellijel noise tools. To my great discontent I couldn't get the noise to be squished as your lovely demonstration :( The noise just keeps sustained. Any tips, do I need a particular kind of mixer? Thanks again for the great video 🙏
@@srcrer bummer! What mixer are you using? It needs to be DC coupled, most modular mixers are, but there are exceptions. Is the LFO coming out of the output?
@@Earther._ Thanks! I tried with a 2hp Mix that's supposed to be DC-coupled from what I've read. I do get the LFO signal coming out. Might have to do some further testing :)
@@srcrer yeah it should work with the LFO at max and the noise quite low. It's possible the headroom of the mixer is bigger than most, depends what opamp they've used in the mixer I guess 🤷♂️
This guy is a wizard...really inspiring...
Wizard? All that waste of money to make noise?
@@PedroMiguel-if3ll continue to produce your shity pop music on ableton...it's over... and for your information.people do what they want with her money miguelito pedrolito.
please make more of these. so fuckin good man. gonna buy ur bandcamp album tomorrow
Interesting stuff, definitely some interesting things to play with. I started off watching wondering why you weren't using the matrix Mixer but then you explained 😀
It was tough for me, I love a good matrix mixer 😂
@@Earther._ Gave it a go th-cam.com/video/fEIzXu79lMg/w-d-xo.html its different!
@@Earther._ I had another go th-cam.com/video/278mgQL2Dv0/w-d-xo.html
dude ive watched this video everyday for the past month please come back to utube 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This was awesome! Also love using the Cs-l wavefold output as an LFO :). I’ve never tried mixing an LFO into the mixer before though!
Would love to see a tutorial on animal/bird sounds 🐦
If I grabbed those two outputs from the wavefolder and took them to a resonant filter, modulating the cut off frequency and resonance, probably would have ended up with some nice bird sounds 🐦
Interesting methods, thank you and sounds dope. Ps. Thank you for introducing fracture, i need to look more into it as i love clap over snare and good claps been diffcult to find. When i started in eurorack. i didnt have sequencer and after i got one i feel like my patches got more dull and less personality. As without had to find ways to build the construct and it gave more surprises of sort. So been thinking to learn to just use different kind of envelope/function generators and clock dividers ect.. to build sequences
Blow my mind after 6 minutea
Dude you have that actors voice mang - love your videos
This is completely gold, thanks a lot. Very inspiring and original. Do you plan on making a series of videos on this format ? I'm usually more into an autodidact approach,, but if you would consider lauching a patreon on this path, I'll suscribe on day one.
Also everyone, go listen to his release, it's incredible.
Thanks Alexandre! there could possibly be more videos, anything you're interested in seeing in particular? I don't really have the time to do this super regularly like a patreon setup would require, but happy to upload here when I find a free afternoon and the mood strikes 🙂
Nothing particular comes to mind, I just love the philosophy that guides you to patch as you do, so I couldn’t think about a precise subject without being you :)
Now that's a really good modular idea video !! Very inspiring, I've been thinking about getting a module for noise, maybe Fracture would be great... Do you think we can achieve similar results with a sampled flat noise played by something like a Bitbox sampler ?
I'm entertained!
I am curious to see what you are using the zoia for in your patches!
I love this vid-I’ve watched it multiple time now. Can you talk a little about your case? What is it and how is it powered? I saw a Zeus, but that couldn’t possibly power all of those modules, could it?
thanks! Sorry bout the delayed reply, but no the uzeus is just there to bolster a Doepfer PSU i pulled out of my old case, there's also a PSU i pulled out of a NiftyCase powering the bottom row. It's a bit of a frankenstein haha
@@Earther._hmmm the absolute delight of working out the absolute mess that is eurorack power
Good stuff! Thanks! I like the aesthetics of your Rampage module a lot. I am working on the DIY build right now but I am following your example. Question: were did you find the caps for the momentary push buttons? Answer would be much appreciated! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thanks! I didn't build the rampage it was second hand, not sure about the caps sorry!
Amazing patch, I’m trying to something similar, but I’m struggling with few things, so far I can get a nice squashed sounds with white noise (verbos) and the osc from the graphic vco, for the lfo I’m using the vector lfo(ornament and crime) but when I duplicate the signal from the mixer and send it to my dopefer a136 waveshaper doesent work as it does on your patch, also since the lfo I’m using doesn’t have wave fold and depth like yours I don’t get that nice cycle you get, last thing last also my new Pamela’s workout doesent get triggered by the lfo.
Any hint?
Thanks a keep the good work
Great video. How much hp is that case?
Is all that powered of the tip tip Uzeus? Or is there another power source in there. If not, that is incredible if all is powered of that small power supply.
after doin more research, this is pretty much creating non linearity with the double wave folding. been looking for more sources about cybernetic patching like this but can’t find much. guess i’ll jus watch this 100 more times
So I try this trick at the beginning and it doesn't work as i'am expected.mixer is not a vca...or the doepfer mini stereo mixer have some Easter egg???!?!?
Hey!!! What brand are your cables? they look very flexible!
the black stackables and slim cables are from Gulltronics, they're nice and flexy! Endorphin.es trippy cables are really nice too
@@Earther._ Thanks for the reply!
is this possible to repliacte on vcv ? :)
I too am interested in this question :)
How much of the sound is the poor uzeus crying for help?
There's 3 power supplies in this Frankenstein case, uzues is only powering s few things 😂
Hey! your patch is very helpful but you don't answer !! my question is if you can get the same lfo loop with a DPO??
is 1 uZeus powering all of that?
