Your tutorials are magnificent!! Just the right amount of information, a great time-economy. And the background info needed to help me think for myself. You should win a price for tutorialism!
Watched through your playlist up to here, as I hopefully receive my Crave tomorrow (and Edge in the upcoming weeks). Wow 🤩 what an awesome tutorial series, it’s almost said to see that it’s the only one on your channel 😉 Hopefully you’ll still read this, as I wanted to say thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your knowledge on this one 😊 well done and very helpful 👍🏻
Glad you're finding it useful :) I thought about doing others, but realized I'd just be repeating myself with most of it, as this series is more general synth tutorial.
Again, great tutorial. Very thorough and in its totality. It's a lot to remember without referring back, but just doing it over and over again is the key.
The "Pause" between Legato and Tempo is for Live-Permoming - you need some time to adjust the time again. That is really cool feature. Thx for the video
Sorry Eric, but while the sequence is playing, after I vary note 1 of the sequence (at c. 1.57 of the video), whether I press SHIFT + Note 1 or not, if I move GLIDE only, the RATCHET in note 1 varies... always. Is this normal or am I wrong? Is there no way to 'block' that chosen Glide? Thank you for your excellent tutorial.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for this one. It's possible that a firmware update altered the machine's behavior. In another video's comments I mention when I last updated it, and to what version, but I can't recall that information now.
Duuuuude. Is the Mother 32 this complicated? As a brand brand new beginner to electronic instruments, I must say that the Neutron, DFAM, Novation Circuit and every Volca I've been able to pick up and get going with after an hour or so of tutorials. The Crave, on the other hand, is turning out to be SO tedious to learn! Am I nuts? Is it just me?
There are three things going on in this instrument: the internal routing of the synth components, the patchbay, and the sequencer. The first two are very much like the Mother 32, and once someone comes to understand analog synthesis and what each patch point can do, I think the Crave is a very capable monosynth, and especially fun if paired with another instrument like the Neutron, Model D, etc. The sequencer is its own thing, and is not the most intuitive sequencer I've used. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I often choose another sequencing option, typically a Keystep. It's not just you! Look through these comments, and those on other Behringer synth videos, and you'll see many folks bemoaning this sequencer. I would suggest forgetting it even has a sequencer (for a while, at least), and focus on its other capabilities to see if you can find an appreciation for it.
Hi Eric! I just tested the swing on my synthesizer and I managed to recreate what you were talking about. th-cam.com/video/rymVop9PmFY/w-d-xo.html There is no swing in the center, and there is a swing to the left and right. Perhaps there is a special setting in the software from beringer that changes the swing mode?
Glad it's working for you, and thanks for adding the demo vid. I haven't revisited this since recording the video or updating firmware, so maybe it was solved there. Or maybe I just didn't do it right in the first place.
@@music-with-eric I just recently bought a crave and am already head over heels in love with this synthesizer. And I haven't connected it to the computer for firmware yet. It seemed to me that the swing in this version shifts too sensitive. And I would like to have a smoother adjustment mode just in plus how it works for you. I wonder what the developers of the synthesizer would answer to this.
@@music-with-eric just updated my crave and swing start working like in your video:) Btw before update swing was unplayable and updated firmware fix it.
You mean it silences either the odd or even steps when the shift+tempo knob is turned hard left and right? I've read so many accounts of divergent behavior on instruments that ostensibly have the same firmware that I wouldn't be surprised.
Mine works the way it is described in the manual, and not the way you have shown it. I actually kind of like yours better. Or at least wish I had the option to do both. Maybe y’all have different firmware?

Just received my Crave and am beginning to explore. Your tutorial makes it a lot easier. The manual provided by Behringer is rather elementary!

Very good Eric. This is a great tutorial - Thanks!
Just arrived Damn these vids are well done and bad ass. Thanks a ton. Brilliant!
Bout to get ta steppin. (Had to)
Thanks again. Excellen explainer!
Eric, thank you so much! This is a best tutorial for Crave! Can you please, do same for neutron?
Nice video thank you. :-)
My tempo fonction swing and shuffle
Thanks for the vids

Anyway, thanks for the tutorial. It's gonna take a few watches for my slow mind to catch it all, but it's helping!

My swing reacts that way, not sure why mine does this but it does

@@music-with-eric Mine works the same as shown in your video, strange

@@music-with-eric There’s not any settings you need to change in the Behringer software is there?
A lot of these basic sequences sound like the sound library from the game show TicTacDough
None of this is working for me, no change whatsoever
Negative swing!
Sounds like some poor attempts at jazz I've heard
