Clouds!

Thank you, this is great to hear, always glad to see people taking inspiration from my patches and videos!

Glad you enjoy the patch, it's all about the ambiance with these patches :) !

Merci Olivier, tres magnifique, je suis contente!

To you as well Dalibor!

Slowly getting back into it, thanks Harris!

Thank you!

Very good guess! I was tempted to use Clouds but did not for this one, on the right track with the shimmer though!

Thank Harris, always appreciate the support!

Thank you!

Technically yes, Pluck is the only voice of the patch. Clouds takes the sound from Pluck and adds reverb to it, which helps generate the background that's then plucked on top of. Also, if your decay parameter is "long" enough on Pluck, you can trigger ("strum") it, then send it different notes while its ringing out. The best analogy I give for this goes back to Guitar Hero; remember how you could strum once then hit multiple notes? That's pretty much what's going on here.

@@UnclePeter I've never played guitar hero, but your explanation is high-value... Also, I have one of these in the mail now, so I'm excited to pre-learn some of its tricks. Thanks! ...Perhaps I won't need to buy a bunch of them to fake a guitar.

@@buckstarchaser2376 Glad to help, you'll definitely enjoy this module!

Thanks, I was surprised that the timing of the delay worked out so well, considering it's an unclocked delay. Glad you appreciate the notes as well!

Agreed! :)

Yes, this is the most recent firmware available from the Mutable Instruments website, just updated it a few days ago

Thanks Lars, great to be back!

Thanks! I agree, Rings is simply amazing!

Thanks!

As do I, I'm eagerly awaiting my FX Aid XL, that will be a game changer for me, love the reverb it can generate!

Thank you! In this patch, I'm using Pams Workout (older version), but I would bet the newer version is more than capable. If you don't want to use Pams, anything that generates a periodic trigger or gate would work, like a EOC trigger say. I know Stages can do this.

Thanks!

It's very hard to compare the two, imo. Rings is a beast and has many sounds, but is a pricier module (well worth it tho). Pluck is a single sound, but a very very good one. In terms of usefulness, Rings can do more. But for the price of Pluck (keep in mind that on the used market, they are practically a steal), there's no reason not to have one. I'd say they have more/less the same price-to-performance ratio and both carry a ton of respect in the modular synth world. I'd say get both if you can lol! Also, Pluck is only 2HP of space, packs a lot of punch, if you're concerned with space-saving. Sorry if that's not helpful, but its my honest opinion of them.

@@UnclePeter thanks for the reply. Yes it helps. Its the sound of the pluck that I first fell for so I think that's the one. 🙂

@@newtronix That's great to hear, enjoy it!

Thanks, means alot, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

hahaha!! I just realized that I already said pretty much the exact same thing when I listened to this some months ago. well... consistency... that's a good thing, right?

Thank you!

Thanks and congrats on the purchase! Yes, so Western Chords is an alternate mode. To enable it, simply set the resonator to yellow (sympathetic strings), then hold the button until the yellow light begins to flash. It's one of my favourite modes!

@@UnclePeter Thanks for the info, I have to say I didn't know it was that simple. Are there other modes you can get - that easily? If you have anymore tips don't hesitate to put them here. I'll be having a play later this afternoon. Thanks in advance.

@@cardboardmusic Yes, pressing and holding in any of the colors (green, yellow and red) will give you alternate modes. Additionally, there are "Easter egg" modes, which can be entered by setting the knobs to a specific configuration. Here's the cheat sheet I use to keep track of Rings' modes: www.infinitesimal.eu/modules/index.php/Mutable_Instruments_Rings

@@UnclePeter Brilliant, thanks.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words!

So in this video, the ramp mode for Tides v2 is set to "cyclic bipolar oscillations", meaning that it self-generates envelopes (essentially generating CV like an LFO)

@@UnclePeter Gotcha, I figured that had to be it, but I'm trying to assemble this great patch but it escapes me. I'm using a scales/wogglebug combo in place of the Disting/Arp pair. Still working at it, but it is too low end and abrasive, deteriorating in clouds.

Just listened to it and I see what you mean! So awesome, considering this patch was randomly generated!

Glad you enjoyed the video, I was in a similar spot, a new Pam's was overbudget for my beginner rack. The old version is excellent and I'm still discovering new things about it even today!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

To my understanding and from what I've experienced, yes. You'll notice this sometimes when you hit a note and the sharp of a note (say F and F#), the "quantized" note that results sounds the same.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you like it!

Thanks for the input, this is such useful information! Believe it or not, this is something I find myself debating every time I make a video; I never know how long to make the patch notes slides.

@@UnclePeter😊 I got that from somebody who used to work in subtitles. You should be able to quickly but comfortably read the text twice through, then it’s the right length. I’d argue with this kind of stuff it should be on even longer, because sometimes it takes a while to wrap my head around what’s going on…

@@vinylarchaeologist That makes sense to me, will definitely give it a try in my next video! Thanks again!

She's a beauty, if I do say so myself ;)

Thanks!

That's a very interesting idea! I've never done it as a "song" but many times I click across the timeline of my longer ambient videos to see how the sounds evolve/change over time.

@@UnclePeter That's exactly how it started with me. I'd want to "cheat" and see where it was going. Then I'd notice that there were bits that were "the same" (or very similar) at different points in the timeline. That lead to me thinking of the space between those points as "octaves" and you can probably see where it went from there. I can fall back on the "same" bits like a I chord. For example, in your video 3:49 and 8:08 (ha) seem like the "root". Man, I feel like a crazy person.

Awesome, yes what I love is its versatility, especially when you send different inputs into it!

Seems about right! :D

Thanks!

No problem, thank you for the kind words!
