SO so happy to see another video from you in this series! And honestly, you've put that module on my radar. I've held off from buying a drum machine because "I want the most bells and whistles!!", but honestly, the amount of mileage I've watched you get from a $200 drum machine is making me feel more comfortable with just accepting more "simple" machines, and using modular to push them into the stratosphere.
24:42 onward is absolutely GORGEOUS! Very glad to see you and Joran finally got to collaborate. If you ever had time to do a vid on *comparators* (similar to your vid on *S&H*), consider doing it with Compare 2 :) Take care!
Ugh! Right around 40:40 it gets so sick with that kick riff drop! You're a madman, Mylar. I love you're tutelage! Bring the pedantic technique lectures combined with dirty riffs. That's why I come to your channel.
Just yesterday I was thinking how I missed you digging into modular. I wondered if you’d ever venture back and here we are! Bloody great. I have a delay 1 and this has given me loads of ideas. The dc offset to the v/Oct. I forget about these things. Absolutely choice. I love this module. It sounds proper and can get wildly close to the time modulator which is just nuts. It’s way more flexible too of course. Bingo!
This video was great because it gave me about 6 brand new things to try on MY modular rig. Excited! Also, the Delay 1 looks like a great flexible, yet specific utility with 1,000 uses.
Like a hungry octopus, I have watched you pluck tasty sounds from the aether. “Aerospace Industrial Music”? It’s 4:30am and I must now go make some noise. Thank you.
I learn so much on these suggested systems videos then any other. You just go really into awesome details on a specific range of techniques . Thanks again. I’d watch the hell out of more of these 😂
One of my favorite uses of short delays is using a short delay with fast fall-off with bass patches (especially FM and physical modeling) to mimic the sound of an upright bass. It creates that feel of a large body resonant instrument where the length between reverberations is long enough that it almost veers into delay territory.
I gotta say thank you for these videos-your performance tips/tricks vids are priceless, when I set up my rack in some jacked out, confusing & confused manner I go back to one of yours to get my bearings straight. Yours is the first and really only channel that gives step by step advice on how to optimally lay out your mods and to get the ol muscle memory goin(I’ve never even seen another modular “influencer” even mention that or go on about ergonomics and it’s SO important), You also don’t make it all hinge on one piece of gear, an uberwaffen that’s going to MAKE YOU GOOD(bunch of shill horseshit and you’ve never slid into that shill “influencer” zone either-you’ll recommend things but you never have pimped yerself out as far as I can see). Then at the end you demonstrate the value of your advice and lay down a heavy jam at the end of the vid-something conspicuously and suspiciously missing from some of your contemporaries. You PROVE it works at the end. So like how John Schussler just shows you exactly what a mod can do without being pitchy and Quincas will go in depth on a heavy mod, giving you deeper insights on voltage etc, you are my go to for MAKING MUSIC with the stuff-it’s wonderful, I appreciate it so much man. Ok-Keep tearing it up! ⚡️🐉⚡️NAI
Pulsar synthesis makes for a great exciter, and Beads excels at this. Either with a held buffer or using the internal wavetables (fully wet), set it to emit grains when triggered or at a constant rate. Feed this into any resonator, eg karplus delay or Rings, convolution, etc.. All the parameters of the grain, eg pitch, envelope shake and duration, become timbral controls on the resulting resonance. Playing with audio rate/ near audio rate grain input into a pitched resonator provides lots of fun.
Cherry SEM is a free VST that does exactly the same sound like you have at 9:30. It's delay unit does this combined with a noise burst. Sounds exactly the same. I made a separate instance for each note (tuned each one). Only issue is it comes out different on the far left/right so you have to tune them separate. Lots of instances.
I use short delays more than long I think, especially ones with modulateable stereo width - I love that Steel chamber electro sound on drums & rhythmic percussion.
Mylar a great track. I have a question if you dont mind. Im getting a Cirklon this week but cant decide whether to get the CVIO version upgrade with the Breakout Box. I see you are a Cascadia fan and im thinking it would be a great companion. Having no other modular that is. Can i route several intrument patches from the Cascadia to the Cirklon? Are there other modular options that wont be too hard to start with.(Thats why the Cascadia appeals it looks so friendly. Cheers dude!
Thanks - I think if you don't have any other modular then perhaps it's not justifiable to get the CVIO (I obviously did buy it with it fitted but then I have loads to drive with it!), and the Cascadia does have several MIDI to CV lanes on it so you could use Velocity, CCs, Modulation from the Cirk and get CV out.
10:58 No don't replace it - combine them! For a brief moment, the 303 and karplus sounded great together. I wanted you to turn up the 303 sound in the mix (it was coming from the T8, I think?) rather than remove it! Maybe get some additional data points first, but I suspect that combo could be a crowd pleaser.
I mean 303 and karplus in general, not necessarily the exact parameters that were dialed in right then. Which were fine, but you could spend all sorts of time finding the sweet spots.
21:09 Doepfer’s range of BBD delays are completely unfiltered. To get rid of the clock whine, they recommend a filter with an ever steeper slope of -48 dB, which is double that of a standard 24dB Moog-style filter. Of course, they make one or two of those.
I must add that the clock's frequency is above audio for about half of the knob's range, so you can get a clean(ish) delay of around 150ms with the 4096-stage module and without a filter
I’ve recently been doing something similar. I put together a 48 hp pod with a Befaco CV Thing controlling midi modulations on a digitech studio quad four. Then sending a drumbrute impact through the digitech
short delays act similar to a reverb. a reverb being a collection of delays from multiple surfaces (with different absorption properties) at different distances. Really every effect is just a way of manipulating resonances in time.
Well, I liked the bass simulation, but it all went west pretty soon thereafter. I’ll stick with my Mimeophon… Great demo though; just not my thing at all.
The rules: an average delay (clocked) + reverb as a bonus ON A SEND. We know who that is!: Make noise (cheap), Strymon (less cheap). Both wil do it. A delay (non clocked) for specific tracks (bass, percs etc - on a matrix even better) and the best sounding possible: The mighty Sarajewo (nobody knows how to use it lol). I confirm it's the best delay on the market. It's a small cheating Verbos delay (for live thus). At last, yet another specific delay for resonant, front-of-the-spectrum short ambient, karplus, dist: the unique and only CG Products - Delay 1022 mk1 or mk2. For the rest of humanity, as always: take the chronoblob, or the nautilus with your regular Mutable Average Soup Modules who sound like sterile shit. Have a good week. Andy
I've just realised that the actual time of day when the final jam ended, was 3:03.
Delays are one thing that makes you feel like a sound design genius, even years into your modular career. :)

Love it - ping a reply if you uncover any interesting tips along the way?
Man this get wild. The last 10 mins are 🔥🔥🔥
I've always enjoyed watching your videos because not only are they informative, you can actually get the music coming out of your rig to sound good!
flabbergastingly awesome... major mad scientist vibes! the fun you seem to be having is infectiously inspiring
Wow, another amazing creation from Joranalogue. Their stuff is so well thought out.
i love p-locking short delay times. i love that you described it as a force multiplier. SO TRUE

Stay subbed and I'm on it!
Mad modular design, going with the double row of 2U tiles!
Jesus. Had me a switch over to headphones for the kick sesh. Yes lord. The destroyer. Kickers kicking kicks.
finally my favorite youtube format is back 🎉🎉🎉

´´hello , this is sugested systems..... SEGSSSSS´´ yeah i know but my ears dont lie
This was great! Enjoyed the examples a lot
Thanks m8!

yessss it's backkkk
I must confess,I do enjoy modulating the zing
🫸⚡
36:54 is godlike ***hands up ***

Thanks. True ill go with just Midi for now 😊

I love these videos
I didn’t think I needed any more convincing to buy this module, I thought wrong 😅
I think you want to turn the internal feedback all the way down on the delay when you patch your own feedback loop.
6 and two 3’s but yeah I did a bit of both using the internal feedback and filter as well as external! In any case ya get the idea 😜
@@mylarmelodiesyeah experimentation is the way.
insanely cool stuff. you make me miss modular
Ahh well as per the intro, take these principles and apply them to your plugins (or hardware!)
@@mylarmelodiesas far as I know they aren’t any daws that allow feedback routing on the mixer. Are there any?
You mean from one channel to another and back? Absolutely - ableton live for one (enable all the sends and you can feedback them in circles)
Already knewthat delays are the sh!t but damn.
This demonstration is Jedi level.
Thanks! This has actually inspired me to eff more with Valhalla UberMod too...
Depending on which firmware you're running, you do have en envelope follower in the O_C!
😗 Ahhh didn't know that, thanks! I really need to dig into that module fully
I came here to mention this, too! There's an envelope follower Hemisphere applet 😉
Could this be the most Autechre-y Mylar video? 🤔
I’ve recently been doing something similar. I put together a 48 hp pod with a Befaco CV Thing controlling midi modulations on a digitech studio quad four. Then sending a drumbrute impact through the digitech
Ooh that would be banging. Would like a CV Thing for such things - CV to MIDI is by far the most interesting direction.
The CV thing is a great module. I would love to see you make a suggested system with it. I’m using it with a modbox, maths, quad vca, and quad atten.
Wicked!❤
is this like the uhmmm... Ursa Major space station hardware?
short delays act similar to a reverb. a reverb being a collection of delays from multiple surfaces (with different absorption properties) at different distances. Really every effect is just a way of manipulating resonances in time.
I'm reminded of Sean from Valhalla saying that his favourite reverb was Valhalla Delay...!
Delays are my favorite sound design tool.
Unrelated fact : the Volca Drum is actually six DFAMs...kinda.
The Only Musical Delay 1 video up to now
Great Work Mylar
Killer patches on this one
Well, I liked the bass simulation, but it all went west pretty soon thereafter. I’ll stick with my Mimeophon… Great demo though; just not my thing at all.
Ha yes Mimeophon is a different beastie
