Hi people of modular and fellow GAS sufferers! This channel was created to document by musical journey from zero to somewhere in the world of modular. Ok, maybe that’s wishful thinking, but this channel has been created to force myself to record, and more importantly complete, musical pieces to stop the endless noodling! If others find it interesting then all then better which will force my production quality to improve further.

What is the 1U module on the left of the Steppy that doesn't appear to be being used?
UMidi and yes it’s just filling space as I don’t really use midi much now
Great -- and inspiring -- story, subbed!
Thanks! There are so many nice stories with Eurorack and the community
Getting early LFO vibes off this one!
Batsh1t crazy is what it was lol. It’s so much fun getting 16 note microtonal patterns out of BIA if you have a little patience with Mimetic’s random CV generation and save the fun ones.
Youre a Goddam Wizard. ! All i know og weird timing om my rack , i hot from you !
That yea this one was a little out there timing wise but shows how good BIA is at producing a wide range of percussive and harmonic sounds
@@markbooth sorry for the spelling , i need glasses to find my glasses .... 🙃
Nice sound! I brought a one module from make noise, I don’t own another modules. I have a Arturia MiniBrute and a tb 303. How do i turn the thing on? Does it need another power source? I tried plugging it into my 303 and MiniBrute, but no luck. 😞
What did you get?
@@markbooth “Maths” by make noise. All it came with was tiny Philips screws and a flat cable that connects to module. Do I need something else to power?
Ah ok, yeah that’s not a stand-alone module and you’ll need a Eurorack case with power. It’s an envelope generator so how do you plan to use it with your Minibrute?
@@Guitarist888 yes, sadly you will need a Eurorack case like an Intellijel Palette 62HP case and there are not cheap at a few hundred pounds. What are you hoping to use Maths for?
Oh wow, a true master class! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this Mark.
Your early Eurorack videos in the palette case showing happy accidents and poly rhythms was my main inspiration to get into Eurorack. You know you’ve made it when god comments :)
Cheers for this! I ordered mine last week, it's currently being processed in Customs, and will be with me in the next day or two. Watching through all the videos one more time before it arrives.
Hope you enjoy it!
awesome music
Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
I use the BOC on a LPG, so every now and then It gives som extra notes as a bassline, or ornaments or so. If Its well synced it sounds awesome Its a superb LFO, btw
That’s a great idea. I’ve tried pinging filters but think sending to an LPG would be much more useful.
Hi, i'm late to the party, but as i watched your great video i'm just wondering where does the kick comes from ? it's not the BIA right ? thank you
Hi and glad you're enjoying the channel. Just taken a look and at 10:54 the kick and hats are added from Squid Salmple. Channel 3 (kick) & 4 (hats) on the Quad VCA have the long black cables coming in from it. The 4 yellow outputs are then going out to Expert Sleepers ES-9 and mixed in Ableton with a little side chain compression and a default Ozone mastering mix to bring the levels up for UA-cam. Hope this helps and there are plenty more similar videos more recently if interested.
@@markbooth thank you for the quick feedback ! yes that helps, if you confirm that those are coming from other sources that means i'm not that stupid. haha . Will check your other videos for sure, cheers !
@@bertrandvanasch I try and say where extra sound sources are coming from more recently so people don’t think there is cheating going on in small system sound setups.
@@markbooth yes i saw that in another of your videos. Though honestly i wouldn't think "cheating" but more "what have i missed here ... hmm ?" 😅
Some people like to comment that it’s not representative of what you can hear which is fair enough. I just want to focus on showing the main voice though where possible
how much have you spent on eurorack???? daaaaamn son !
Probably too much but it all holds its value quite well
Amazingly thorough and informative videos. As a newbie to modular I am learning a lot from watching your videos. I love the sound that comes out of the c4rbn. However it seems that WMD are no longer in business and the c4rbn is pretty much unavailable now. Would you have any recommendations as to alternative filters out there that can provide a similar amount of fun to play with and to listen to?
The closest I’ve heard of is Steve’s MS-22 but that is not easy to get hold of either as he builds then on an order back log.
Very inspiring - please do make more performing technique videos!
Thanks. I try not to have any preconceived ideas for UA-cam videos. I just like to play and then record when I feel something is worth sharing. Thanks for the positive feedback and I’ll try to keep them coming
@@markbooth one video I'd love to see is one on finding various sweet spots on the BIA with modulation points. For example with this video you really made it sing!
@@jakegraves5977 funny you should request that as I’m currently doing just that but with the Loquelic Iteritas Percido. It’s an elderly relative killer in the wrong hands but boy does it sing when tamed. I’ll make a note to do the same with BIA
Good tips! I love Steppy for the tactile step buttons and 64 steps. Just got my 3rd Steppy delivered today haha
I’m not jealous at all!!
hello mark , this image is note clean 😉
It is, UA-cam is just taking a bit long processing the 4k version tonight and I scheduled it a bit early sorry. It’s still got another 43 minutes to go
Great video as always. I hear a lot of problems sync the PPW with Steppy. It is the same problem with PNW and Steppy too?
Ah crap it’s published before the 4k version has finished rendering. It’s had almost 3 hours already but should be there soon sorry. I’ve not had any problems with syncing the two. Check out my quite recent video on clock and reset using PNW
Setup Steppy to 'run mode' and run a full gate from Pams into Steppy's reset. On Steppy hold save when powering on to toggle between the two modes. I don't have any sync issues with PPW or PNW.
Great Thank you for the information.
Nice mark - reminds me of a very weird night in Toulouse ! Let’s say no more about that 😂
Ah crap it’s published before the 4k version has finished rendering. It’s had almost 3 hours already but should be there soon sorry.
Why to I get the impression that was a good night? I’m hoping you didn’t wake up with a sprained ankle though…
@@markbooth let’s not discuss the ankle lol
Cracking tekno
Thanks! Most of my walkthroughs after this one are similar and really enjoy making them
Damn can't find any WMD C4rbn's for sale :(
The world is designed to frustrate us! I wish WMD didn’t cease production as people loved their gear.
@@markbooth Well the worlds just got better for me, got one coming tomorrow :D
@@X-101 oh man that’s fantastic! They are really hard to come by but really worth it for the size and feature set! Let me know when you get it
@@markbooth It's Amazing!! thank you to bring it to my attention
@@X-101 glad you like it. It’s a little powerhouse!
I like the set-up, definitelya dynamic start-up case. Nice lil funky groove. 🎉 if it were me, id opt out the pams workout, and put in a Ochd and a horologic solum.
I have a horological solum just wish it had a rest trigger output to reset the whole case like I’m using Pam’s for
Ochd would also need attenuvertors but I could also replace the uMidi 1U with one of those too.
@@markbooth ah good point. Yeah replacing the 1u could be an option. There's a smaller version as well. Also a few 1u clocks out there I think. And a few options for 2-3hp attenuators
@@markbooth if you're outputting to your steppy’s reset, woudnt the reset trigger work?
Or/and using the multipliers
I love that you're going 4k! Wife knows best! Audio is fantastic -- no pops or lip-smacks!!
My lighting is really poor and 4k seems to look better with the low light levels just a pain to edit on an original M1 Mac. If also edited out all the speech issue, just need to work better on prep like Mike position and hydrations. Thanks for the help
Nice, informative video. Love my BIA x Metropolix combo. Looking forward to more from you.
Thanks. Don’t quite a few more recently with BIA especially
Another great vid Mark. Really sound advice here. I wish you had made this vid a year ago before I went bezerk and spent a fortune on Eurorack. As you say it’s too easy to fall for the spell and buy lots of voices, which when you’ve run out of money you can’t use. With this set up you have the core modules that are very playable, but will remain useful as the system expands. The main take is know what you want to achieve with your rack. I thought I knew, I reckon I’ve sold 90% of my original set up as they didn’t do what I wanted. For chuggy house/techno the set ups that you suggest are perfect :)
I’ve learnt the hard way too don’t worry :) we want to make better sounds so we buy new voices but have no way of controlling and playing them. At least the second hand market is pretty robust.
Fantastic content, your video on sinfonion sold me to finally commit to it. Off-topic, I'm really sorry, my only feedback is the lip-smacking--i think I have misophonia, the sound of it was driving me mad lol. There's a lot of easy ways to remove it from recordings.
Wish I’d bought one a few years ago when cheaper but still no regrets as opens up a system to so much melodic creativity. And yes I’m sorry about the sound. I try to edit out those parts better now but let me know if you still notice anything in my newer videos.
@@markbooth It arrived!! I paid about 1,300 USD ($65 for COD) how much cheaper was it?
@@motaki79 cheapest I saw it was £799 so about $1100 maybe
@@markbooth cool! I bought mine from nightlife electronics. I didn't expect the COD charge from UPS.
Great video Mark, always look forward to.your videos
Thanks Wayne! I’ll try and keep them interesting then!
nice little selection there, for compressors ive not looked into getting one yet, but may veer towards endorphins, as it has low mid high button cutoffs
As long as it has a sidechain then that's all that really matters for this demo. One with plenty of control is better though if staying out of your DAW in a live performance setup.
@@markbooth deffo
Thank you for this walkthrough Mark, lot of power in this small case 👌
Room to spare too. Really enjoy seeing what’s possible without a magalithic setup
This makes me puzzle over how closely I could approximate the basics of this patch, despite having a system about five times as large.
There are 6 CV sequences here and 2 gate sequences. Voltage block would work well instead of Mimetic and Clep if you have one. The rest is just a filter, envelope, and delay/reverb effects unit. Then add on a kick.
Excellent insights & overview Mark !
Kept it quite high level to focus on what you can get out of it and the fun performance aspects. Probably warrants a deeper dive into the patch and suggested replacement available to buy modules
Sadly three of those modules are unobtanium. I am loving your use of the mimetic. Ànother module that would work great here would be some version of piques. Don't get me wrong I love the kick all but the kick and snare you can get from a peaks clone would be great.
Sadly WMD modules are no more but I’m not doing anything special with them here so any ADSR, filter and compressor would do. If I were building a setup to mimic this I’d get a Knobula Kickain which handles kick and ducking in one and a Steve’s MS-22 filter if possible too. I’ve not tried a piques but heard good things about them
This is a really nice approach of a small palette case. At some point I do want to get one so I can cram some stuff into it as well. It definitely makes you focus on a main idea like making an ad. Maybe there’s some supporting copy or something. Me personally, I’d probably build it around a bard quartet, a pizza, steppy and a switchblade. Have you considered one of those small mosaic clock modules? Think I might get one for clocking in my case. A couple choices of course: random, clock, and I think tap.
Yeah it really does help you focus on what you have. The Bard Quartet looks very interesting even though I already have a Sinfonion
You make my day - so many time a day ,- 🤩ua-cam.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f601.png
Thanks for this video. I’m just about to get into Eurorack and am glad to see your rack consists of many of the modules I’ve been eyeing. Would be great to have a follow up video explaining a little more on what some of the smaller modules do and why you picked them. Thanks!
Yeah I think this one deserves a follow up as there’s a fail bit going on. While waiting, definitely worth check out these previous videos Why BIA is so special -ua-cam.com/video/cfOwMfEzeHM/v-deo.html Clep Diaz - ua-cam.com/video/XpIqZGeygE0/v-deo.html Steppy - ua-cam.com/video/nnG1QeJISFE/v-deo.html
Ooh! I’m diggin that bass synth! :)
I swear this thing plays itself and I just suggest a few things it might like to play
Once the main two parts of the bassline surfaced I knew this one would form the next video. Couldn't quite believe what came out of so few modules.
Except you wouldn’t sell the javelin 😬😃
Nope nope and thrice nope... to both of my Javelins! Not often you can say an envelope is performable, plus that accent input... :)
@@markbooth 🤣👍
love the set up
Thanks, super simple sometimes ends up super fun
How do you output audio on this case? Desmodus seems end of chain but outs are not patched...
Well spotted! I bypassed the effects unit for this clock walkthough to keep things easy to follow on beat. The Javelin output is going straight out to the audio interface, I just forgot to remove green cables to the Versio.
Love how you approached that programmatic request based on what you have in the case there. Also, seeing Constellation next to Maestro with the numbers in the middle. Haven’t even watched the whole video yet ha.
Lol yes they do go well together!
I do indeed want to see you use it with a bass and a lead!
I do like the quality of the c4rbn filter with bia, for filters i've been using blue lantern modules hermippe, cause of the vol level it offers as well as res and ping option.
Not heard that filter will have to go check it out. And yeah WMD modules go well with NE.
@@markbooth i use it with my palette setup. here is one its used with. ua-cam.com/video/uIkvJUAi_cc/v-deo.html
Thanks Mark, I have been doing this by diving into the channel menu. So good to know it is available on the the top tier multiple menu. Also you just taught me about the end gate trigger, which I can see some uses for, as it could trigger a faller/riser in to a B section or drop back into the main beat again. always love your videos, very approachable and inline with my learning style, thanks again.
Hi Rob, halo to help and thanks for the kind feedback. I love making these videos and all feed back is very much welcome.
