Thank you so much 🧡

Those are my favourite 😍

Thank you a lot! I just sent a saw wave to excite the filter, but the result sound is 99.9% the Resonant EQ self-oscillating ☺️

Thanks! I return to this a lot. So you are just sending an enveloped saw tooth into the VCFX? What are you controlling with the keyboard pitch? I’m having a really hard time getting such beautiful sounds from my VC res eq. Any tips would be incredibly appreciated.

@@ritosuckerino6763 The sawtooth is mostly to excite the Resonant EQ's feedback on the verge of self-oscillating! The VCFX is mostly there to make it more "spacious" while taming some of the harshness. As for tips, I'd say that with the VC Res EQ is more important than ever to use ears before anything else: I've noticed different bands react differently to feedback, and at high levels they start to interact with each other, so any visual clue is quite useless, and it's a delicate act of balance done by ear. Careful with the feedback in general, I rarely go past 1 o'clock The keyboard is controlling the other sound (a flute sample) layered with the Serge output, sorry if that was misleading!

Thank you a lot! It needs to be excited with sound, with white noise obviously being the best option! As for midi though, you can send a lot more than just the notes, and you are also able to independently address the two sides

Thank you so much! They should be Nazca braided, but I'm not sure, since I got them as part of a trade :)

Thank you so much 🧡

Ahah, no I didn’t, I actually rarely drink coffee: I’m too lazy to make the moka for that tiny outcome 😄 Why this curious question?

I admit my ignorance: what is a water synth?

Huge compliment here, thank you so much! 🧡 Heh, I suppose with SOMA it's part of the allure, that aura of mystery around their instruments, but I don't like mysticism getting in the way of being able to become proficient with you piece of gear, so that's why I made this video. Also because just going full chaos is probably way too easy; fascinating for sure, but when everything is modulating everything, it's not like it is predictable what the outcome will be, so there is no real need for "control" ☺️

That's a great advice, thank you! I really need to try it :)

I forgot to mention that the most ”rhythmic” results are achieved at low rate and speed settings. And that I use the left output to trigger one drum sound and the right output to trigger another.

Thank you so much 🧡

Honoured 🙏🏻 I love the clean slate feeling the Serge transmits, it kinda brings me back to the beginning of my synthesis journey, when everything was wonder: opening and closing a filter, discovering what a knob turn does, and so on. Thank you so much again, there will be a lot more to come 🧡

Thank you so much! No, in this recording I didn't use it, but the previous one was all about the VC Res EQ! I wanted to keep it clear and intelligible, but now I am curious how chords sound like through the resonant eq ;)

These panels are making me rediscover the beauty of raw synthesis, building one step at a time, instead of chasing the fancy module that can do everything

Thank you so much 🧡

FM and the way it is handled by the OpSix can indeed be a bit intimidating. Obviously, we are nowhere near the level of some older synths, like a DX7, but still, messing with the algorithms and the modulations (which are handled so-so here) as a new-comer to synths will be challenging, and ultimately probably frustrating. Minifreak is great, and it could provide you with two things: a more varied sonic palette, and a more thought-out interface, which never hurts. Having more range also means being able to keep it for longer and resist the urge of looking at other synths for other musical duties. If you are more into sequencing and less into keys, you could also consider the Elektron Digitone, which, especially if found used for the canonical $500, is A LOT of synth for the money, but I wouldn't say it is better or worse than the Minifreak, just a different approach to synthesizers. TL;DR - the Minifreak is an awesome starting synth, more than the OpSix ☺

@@Dexbathank you for your insight!

It has something deep an magnetic to it 🧡

Thank you so much for checking it out 🧡

Thank you!

Before filming this I never even imagined how useful this combo could have been! Now it is probably here to stay, to layer Serge over Serge and maybe even some further sampling + easy and portable FX! Thank you for checking my video out 🧡

If you want, you can even download it for free on Bandcamp, to take it with you 🧡 Thank you so much!

Honoured 🙏🏻

Thank you so much 🧡

Thank you for checking it out 🧡

Thank you so much 🧡

I admit I am not sure: most people always recommend using bass amps because guitar amps could break or something like that. I've honestly never dared to try, and in general, I'm always been more worried about not being able to hear properly the whole range of the instrument rather than breaking the amp

My pleasure! I wish I could do more of these tutorials

You're right! I need to get back my recordings at least on Bandcamp, and maybe some other streaming 🤙🏻

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it 🧡

Check out Dexba's Pulsar filter tutorial for how to work this way 🙂

Great suggestion! Unfortunately, life got in the middle, and I had to sell the Pulsar, so that filter tutorial will (probably) be the last one I make on this beautiful instrument, but never say never 🧡

And it sounds SO good! People always talking about analog/digital/whatever, but wow

Thank you so much! I almost never used it as a drum machine (even though I bought it for that), and when I moved to a different country bringing almost only the Pulsar with me... I really had to get creative, and I am very pleased with the result of those explorations!

Thank you so much! I would be curious to check the new Solar42f out, and see how it compares!
