Wild stuff
😸
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Excited for the next episodes on bitwig and vector! Having nice sounds is great but only if you have control over them. Youve figured out some really interesting techniques and combinations to that end
damn back when you said you were going hybrid i could only envisioned basic recording and midi between both systems. this excels in flexibility, potential, interaction in so many ways. it expands the limitations of modular, and enriches the sometimes dullness of working with a daw. don’t let anybody gatekeeper this new vision. congrats!
Your are amazing
Always looking to improve and refine your method from the inside out... adapting it to who you are and what you want to build...
thank you for your time and effort in sharing so many hours of testing and tweaking. It is invaluable! so so cool
Daaaaang! I first jumped on the Lighbath train to learn about this unknowable frontier of modular, this feels like such an exciting next step to see you take and teach!
Morphagene with the expression pedal is just beautiful, you play it like the instrument it is!
This is next level! Intelligent. Beautiful. Impressive. Witnessing the evolution of Modular. Breaking trail. Love it.
Amazing my friend! And very inspiring!! It makes me want to get back to improving the control aspects of my performance system. ❤🔊
Thnx James 💫
This is mind blowing… much higher level of… modsynthing? than I’ll ever have the competency for… but it’s magnificent to behold
Compact + utilitarian. Super nice.
This is incredible! All modules in tune, ready to go, changing sequences on the go, having the ability to record each channel!?!? The level of control is impressive. Really nice work with this. Definitely something I'll have to explore.
P.S. nice glove tan 🚵😁
I was waiting for someone to mention the glove tan! Been riding the bike a lot. I hadn’t noticed until after I shot both episodes. Have literally been doing the road climbs gloveless to start to blur that line a bit 😆
This video literally came at the perfect time for me. Been designing a hybrid system using ES-9 and Disting EX. Will definitely sub to your Patreon to see the details of your build and how it can inspire/solve nay routing issues I may run into. I'm still trying to decide between using Ableton or Bitwig (just dived into Bitwig about a week ago, so lots to learn, but I'm floored by the UX/UI already).
Thanks for making this! :)
Thats awesome ….i was attempting something like the gestural control with beads and a doepfer joystick … i am going to have to try that again …
Honestly, I feel like every modular enthusiast is starting to transition more into hybrid.
Personally for me, it started with Monome crow to ADDAC 222 now. Really brings versatility to my modular.
Love to see what you're doing with the Touché. In principle there are six independent degrees of freedom for parallel plates, but I'd guess that implementing them all would be even more expensive and that much harder to learn. (Three displacements and three and three angles. Look up "rise slide shift twist roll tilt" for a diagram.)
Nice! Thanks. Kick Jump Twist 💃🏻
I've also decided to go all-in on the hybrid setup using much of the same gear, but also trying to inject my guitar in the mix. I've a ways to go, yet.
It can be a long road, but well worth the journey
Interesting setup and great explanation! Also, what case are you using in this? I like its smaller size and profile.
That’s an MDR case made by Dmitri from Russia. Same person that made my Mutable Instruments Loom series case back in 2018.
This is fantastic but man im so in love with the marimba sound that shows up in this - is that all from Plaits (via disting)?? Cant seem to tweak it to get it sounding so woody!!
Ah, it’s a secret that gets revealed in the next episode dropping in about a week. Stay tuned 💫
@@Lightbath incredible - can't wait!

Insane. I don’t know of anyone who’s gone this far. Maybe Kaitlyn and Maritime but unclear actually.
Curious: how do you deal with loss of detail in the melodic contour as the recorded CV is judged against different points of quantization? Or are the quantized notes stored as points with continuous distance from one another, rather than as divisions in V/8 space?
Good question. Picks up on our Colorwheel topic. The quantizer is just taking all the MIDI notes as they come into Bitwig and snapping to their nearest new scale note, so it doesn’t change the source all that much.
That is, it’s not quantizing from the sequencer perspective, but afterwards.
That said, I’ve not yet done extensive testing with it to really understand all the implications 😏
Saving that for Episode 4 😉
I'm sorry -four- instances of Plaits?
DEX’s Macro Osc 2 is a four-voice poly Plaits
Where are the effects? 🙃
Lots of Bitwig and VCV Rack. The next episode covers all of that 🤙
Small correction: Moogfest 2019
Nope. My first Moogfest set in 2018 when I played MotS. When I came back in 2019, that’s when I had my own performance event in addition to a MotS set 💪
I saw you both years though, right? @nutritionalzero
@@Lightbath Ah my mistake! You put the same tapestry/cloth thing under your case both years. Also the modules at the far left of the case (Pam's and Marbles) are the same both years. I could have sworn this was 2019's rig but I went back and checked and you had a little sidecar with René and a Planar in it in 2019 instead of the monome grids.
Carry on!
😅
Ha yes! I love your config tracking awareness here 🌟
First
This kills all the modular vibe……
I must not hybrid. Hybrid is the modular-killer. Hybrid is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my hybrid. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the hybrid has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
@@Lightbath😶🌫️
I went hybrid a couple years back, so that I could do quadraphonic mixes. At first, it was not a move I was happy about, but I quickly found that by moving mixing and FX to the computer, that freed up space in the modular for more voices, more patch options, etc. It's great to be able to work completely in the box, but it's also great to be able to expand to outside the box.

@@Five12 Are you saying that if you move modules into the DAW you have more space in the rack? Now I get it. You guys are true geniuses.
