Strymon Magneto and Starlab Demo
Переглядів 9142 роки тому
Simple track demo of the Strymon Magneto tape delay and Starlab reverb modules. In my opinion the best delay and reverb modules available. There are plenty of 'how to' and more in-depth demo vids on these modules already, but not many vids just showing them in action on a track, doing what they do best. So I thought I'd upload one. Having said all that, I will probably make a more in-depth demo...

Can you add some steps into the MS-101, and then trigger the MS-101 sequence with using the tr8 16 pads? Oops! 4:00 looks like you answered my question. Similar workflow, except for that swing activated, and also having to turn the glide knob per step. I could have sworn the SH-101, you just selected legato in the sequencer.
@@dpalaoro yes
Just rediscovered this. It's still excellent
This is Gold!!! Thank you so much.
Love it!
❤ beautiful thnx
There is a module available now (4hp) from Australia (GP-82) that adds ratcheting and other cv functionality to the Behringer 182 and further functions to the 960. Available in kit form or ready made. Ive just ordered it so looking forward to having in my system. Just google GP-82 and you'll find it.
Will this do the classic self oscillation?
No offense.. but I don't understand these videos sweeping osc and filters like a laboratory A/B (ish) comparaison. From my experience. It's only when you have a patch and play around that you get the real power of a synth vs another. From the build, to the sound I was always desapointed by any Behringer tools I had (mics :p (yuk) , pedals, synths.. cheap components, noise floor.. cheap build there's always something that's annoying in the long run.
thanks zvook - nice to see you back. Love your channel its so chill :). Really appreciate learning old skool production techniques from you.
Thanks for sticking with me Nodz, apologies uploads have been few and far between recently, I’ve had a lot going on (and also need to kick myself into action). I will be uploading more usual content very soon, with the aim of providing some helpful advice.
@@nodz007 great stuff nodz! Glad to be of service mate, you’re most welcome. It’s nice to hear that my videos have helped my subscribers and viewers. I’ll have to do a video on basic music theory - i know a few hacks that helped me learn scales and chords that you might find helpful.
that'd be wicked@@ZvookUK
Thank you for sharing... best Metropolix video. I learned alot
sounds ultra close to me, perhaps no difference to my ears.
Great harmonics! Sounds amazing
oh my god... thats it they cloned ALL the gear I had :/
Attack of the giant hand!!!
terrific! your cable link seems to be broken for me. Whats the name of the cable. Cheers
It’s a cable I made and sold on eBay for a little while. But there’s a video on UA-cam how to make one for the Moog system - it’s just same only with mini jacks. S-trig to CV conversion cable. Link: ua-cam.com/video/EpZPOFYxfFE/v-deo.htmlsi=GKWGoarRMYrDyFtU
thanks for the info. cheers@@ZvookUK
cool change of feel at around 18.00
cool groove, awesome sound's coming in at around 12.30 (your accent sounds like your from the UK?)
Thanks! Yeah, I am from the UK - Midlands. Thought it was about time I spoke in one of my videos
I borrowed the drum pattern from trans Europe express (I mentioned it in the first version of the video which I screwed up - wrong audio input selected 😑)

Do you know how to pronounce Activity? There's no D in it bro
It ain’t me singing in it bro - it’s a VST program. Tell it to the programmers
Just received the Disting for my 960 sequencer. Love it. You could do the transpose also via input Y on the Disting, but I understand you did it on the oscillator to make things simple and universal to use. Intro with the words of the master himself gave me goosebumps before the track even started.
This is gold. Thanks for explaining your patch!
Please more video like that
Excellent cover. I'm in hospital at the moment and have been trying to work on a cover of this brilliant track, my nurse said he's a mate of yours and and to check out your channel and I'm not disappointed!! What exactly are you using for choir pads in the background?
Hi Ullish, Thanks! I’m using a VST for the choirs - I believe I used the Omnisphere soft synth
Say Hi to Adam for me! 😜
That’s some very creative patching. Thanks for sharing.
Novice here. Would it be possible to hook up a 960 with a Crave? The Crave is basically a Mother 32 clone.
Yes you could - the Crave had CV and trigger ins - it has a lot of CV modular capability with plenty of CV ins and outs
@@ZvookUK Thanks, will check it out. The idea is to broaden the Crave's possibilities, so that the sequences sound more interesting.
What port are you feeding the sample into on the MS-1? Love these tricks!
The external input
Very informative. We need more explanations of the Disting mk 4. 👍👍
Yeah it’s been a while and Expert Sleepers has bought out A LOT of updates / new algorithms… so a new video is definitely due. I shall get on the case
Rad!
I’ve just recently bought a System 15 and I’ve noticed a drop in level whenever I patch into the 914. Is this normal or do I have a faulty module on my hands? It’s the same when I patch into the low pass filter as well…
I’ve watched a few of your excellent 960 videos now and have learned enough to convince me to buy one, thank you. A new sub for thee here!
I should really stop watching videos about modules that didn't exist in my mind before watching the video... That VCO driver is really cool :D Thanks for uploading
Nicely done.. please, what is that tuner module that you have on the right of the 960? Thx
That’s the Disting MK4 (sorry for the late reply!)
Just got mine 2 weeks ago, so much to learn... Currently going through the global settings as shown here, setting stages and pulse counts, run actions, scales etc. Your videos are so helpful, thank you.
Youre welome, thank you! Yeah the Metropolix is so versatile, it can even do what the new Vermona Melodicer does... I was planning on doing a vid on that next.
@@ZvookUK I have absolutely no ida about the melodicer. I've heard the name, and I know it is loved by many, but I never looked into it. I saw the Metropolix videos when it first came out, and it showed exactly the sequencing style I was looking for. It just took a long time to get to it among the list of other modules. I just ordered the Gx expander a couple of days ago too.
Ohhhh okay, I was confused. I thought you were comparing moog and behringer equipment side by side, but it appears the moog sounds are from a pre recorded demo. Is that a fair comparison? And is it fair to Behringer? 😅
It’s the best I could do unfortunately- at the time I made this there weren’t any comparison videos and I couldn’t get my hands on a moog system 55 (I would have loved to have been able to do a proper side - by - side) so I lifted the demo from another video (details in the description). I tried to be as fair and accurate as possible given the restrictions. In the original video you can see what the demonstrator is doing and he also talks through what he is doing. To be honest I originally did it to satisfy my own curiosity but ended up sharing it and making a video for others who were interested.
I thought that was the uploaders voice in the beginning, being put through a reverb that sounded like a television. But then I read your description. 😂
Thanks for making this video. I bought a Metropolix but struggled to make it sound acid-y. (I know, right?) Turns out I just needed to shorten the pulse count and use mod lanes to spice it all up. (I was trying to do it via high pulse counts.) It was good to see you work through idea methodically, instead of some other videos where they just show snippets of good patches without actually showing you how they got there. A+
Thanks! - I need to kick myself into action and make some more Metropolix vids (- I’m planning on posting one soon). It’s my favourite sequencer - so flexible and great for jamming with - loads of hand-on fun basically. Re acid lines - yeah repetition and variations in repetition. The accumulator is a great way to add variation too. I’ll have to post a vid up on that as the settings on the accumulator can be tricky to get your head around at first
great work
Thanks Anthony - means a lot. I’ve been a big fan since the 90s. Absolutely Love your music - you’ve been a huge inspiration. A good friend of mine passed away this week, and old friend who I used to go clubbing with - dancing away the night to your tracks. Funny old world.
@@ZvookUK 🙏🏽 I'm sorry for your lost. Thank you for your kind words. Most Carpenter Remakes don't get the harmony and chords right. You got it right. I really loved it. I did listen several times to it 🙂
What did you do to make the noise snare?
Hi, if I remember correctly I used the noise (obviously) and either the square wave or triangle for the mid/bass ‘body’ of the snare, and since the MS-1 doesn’t allow envelope control over the pitch I believe I utilised the glide function from a high note to a low note at a quick setting for a bongo type pitch effect. Messed around with the envelope to get the right setting for snappy hit with a decaying tail. Then sampled a few “hits” and picked the best of the batch to use in the song
@@ZvookUK Thanks 😊
wish the accumulation would rise +1 within the scale you are working in instead of just semi tones.
It does - just set the scale for the track and set the accumulator limit to +\- 1 and the accumulator setting on the stage you want to effect to either plus 1 or minus 1. It will then increase just one note up or down within the selected scale. You can go up/down by two or more notes too but the settings can be tricky to get your head around
looks fun : )
I wish this had and addition where each pot's position settings could be recorded in real time for asynchronous or clock synched playback.
Is it possible to do this with the 960 sequencer & 962 swithch? How would I patch it from RD-8? Help please
You just patch one of the RD-8 triggers outs to the envelope driving the VCA and VCF that you’re using. And patch the Pitch CV to the VCO as normal from the 960. You just have to make sure they are synced together, so patch the osc out (clock/trigger) of the 960 to the RD-8’s sync in. The trigger outs on the RD-8 are 1/4” jacks so you’ll have to have a cable with a 1/4 mono jack on one end and a 3.5mm mono jack on the other
Thank you for the information 🙏 It works great!
I just start with my modular (Behringer) 55 so the tutorials and demos like this are of high demand and very helpful. Thanks a lot Mate for this. Keep going and best regards. P.
Here is another nice trick with a 960 sequencer ua-cam.com/video/sVu3x5M_yDM/v-deo.html
You use film ?
I should have said “footage” - no it’s all digital
Really appreciate this video! Also, great sound and images 🙂
noice.. did this back in the dayz with the tr 606 trig and an juno 60 arp.. this can lead to very unexpected results in changing notes/steps on the rd 8 (606).
so wait is the 55 polyphonic or is this a multitrack? how polyphonic are we talking with the 55?
Classic discrete transistor opamp saturation.
This is awesome. What are your synth voices in this track?
