Awesome! Do share your results if end up putting them to tape! Since recording this, I found a video from the one and only Colin Benders breaking down a very similar technique- if that helps you get ideas. He seems to have found the technique in the same way that I did- desperation to create "sequenced" melodies when there is no funds left for a sequencer and like me was too early in the modular game to have a system assembled. ua-cam.com/video/GEm-7Cu6yvc/v-deo.html

Amazing! And will do!​@@manweilermusic

Oh no! Now I have to make my next jam even darker... pure, high-quality void-of-happiness for everyone to enjoy their suffering in! :)

@@manweilermusic Ha! ;D

Thanks! Agreed on the SQ-1. I am not aware of another sequencer anywhere close to that price point that does so much. :)

@manweilermusic Exactly! SQ-1 is one of a kind! There would be the SQ-64 too but it's much more expensive so I decided to get a second SQ-1 and I have two eheh!👍

@@hellf.o I got an Oxi One somewhat recently, and still use the SQ-1 from time to time :) I was having problems with clock sync on the SQ1- but finally figured it just doesn't like hot timing gates.

danke schön

@real_angxt Nom Nom Nom.... Nom.... Nom Nom CRUNCH. Nom Nom Nom.... Nom.... Nom Nom CRUNCH

@manweilermusic One.... ah two ..three. CRUNCH. Ah three.

That is a great way of describing things! It is nice to have another performance oriented tool that quickly helps uncover these patterns, and snap back to earlier ones if so desired!

Modular Synthesis tends to move more in that direction, but gives us control over every element of the sound in a way stock synthesizers can't reach! They are a great set of tools for composition and sound design!

Such an inspiring weekend! Thanks for taking time to perform and talk about your setups.. I am seriously loving the Xer Mixa... Side note, I have heard multiple people talk about your magical set last Thursday night - and hope it gets shared sometime!

@@manweilermusic I just posted the Knobcon set from the church: ua-cam.com/video/z34jiCOrYF8/v-deo.htmlsi=c65zXqK3ko5nxkU2

Absolutely! I used my fair share of braided copper on this one.. Mainly for when my tip wandered into unsettled pad territory. Putting in a row of headers is so much easier when one of the holes hasn't be closed up accidentally. It is taking musical restraint to not turn all the knobs at once.. it is so gratifying. I would love to hear your creations with this! 1100???? 1100 PADS?? HA glad I didn't count first :) I did go over with a magnifier 5 or 6 times from both sides before closing her up and turning her on. so paranoid that I had a bridge or missed resistor someplace.

@@manweilermusic The old desolder pump was my trusty friend, I blindly followed the iBOM thinking it had the same order of resistor placement but nope, no I mixed up a whole bunch of those lol. I really ought to pop some music up on here, ok will do

When you do, make sure you share your creations!

Thanks so much!

@fallprecauxionsmusic So happy to hear you enjoyed this! Let me try to do a followup video and isolate sounds with some explanation, as there are multiple ways to sequence the mood with external sources (Joel & Team did a heck of a job with the internal LFO though!)- You are correct in hearing - I have multiple parameters being controlled here- tuning it is a bit more in depth than a short text response field.... and some controllers on the market will damage Chase Bliss with their control voltage - (the SQ-1 has the potential to if it is not set properly) but at around $100 it is an AMAZING little sequencer... So I do want to attach the proper warnings and "what I learned" as well to get these sounds

I should also note- the original intent of this video was "document composing to remember what I did." It ended up a different direction than intended once I started turning knobs :). I occasionally post some of those to my channel in their raw form as snapshots/ diary entries into my process-

aaah... video documentation of the composition process, when that process is gear-centric... that is a brilliant idea!! I love it!!

I don't know if they have added any new features. The last time I used the program one needed to manually move blocks over by the latency in the system.

Dan, awesome to hear! I have a video coming down the pipeline with a few things simplified on how I tune Granular effects like this for Pizz and Arco, that will be a little more friendly to people's CPUs. How much experience do you have with particle effects?

@@manweilermusic I love granular effects, not sure I know what particle effects are. I'll keep an eye out for your video. I tried building some of this patch by hand just by looking at what's on the screen but I couldn't get any sound when patching the violin into the IN L input of Clouds. That's why I would love to see the patch...

@@dantenenbaum6288 My bad- I was typing before my coffee kicked in. Granular. :) What I have coming down the pipeline is a look at not just an exact copy of this (which you could do with what I am working on), but a view under the hood into how I look at Clouds to get these types of effects on violin, and a few more very nice symphonic sounds... by adjusting several of the control parameters. I also have been leaning pretty heavily on Grayscale's Supercell module recently instead of the Audible instruments clone. - I find it has a bit more gain and control- with more breakout control of Émilie Gillet's internal functions... I will likely release a patch storage patch with that video! Do you have a place where your Modular Violin music can be heard? There are not too many of us out here that combine both mediums!

@@manweilermusic I'm still in the exploration phase with modular, so nothing to release yet. I have also been enjoying Supercell. Looking forward to seeing your patch!

Thanks so much!

So glad that helped out! I would love to hear what you end up coming up with.

@@manweilermusic hehe I've actually put a vid online yesterday directly inspired from yours ua-cam.com/video/sfGmCnODYUI/v-deo.html

Thanks so much, and Agreed! I seem to always find a new hidden functions or controls every time I dig in. There are many parts of many of the module collections or control areas I haven't gotten to deciphering yet... The more time I spend with them the more I fall in love with them though!

Thanks so much, I am glad you enjoyed listening!

Thanks so much! I am working on several videos aimed at helping getting bowed string players into this space, and how to process signal chains! VCV is such a great creative tool beyond the amazing things it does with synth sounds!

Thanks Matt!

Lots of good questions Virtual Modular, it is slightly complicated for a comment thread response...... I don't hide my patch cable to make it hard to follow- but keep around 20% opacicity to keep my sanity. I also am loving the monochromatic look, but realize it is hard to trace things... Let me try to do a walk through on how this patch was built, and post hopefully this weekend- with full cable views. In the mean time.... 99% of the clicks I have are dealt with in 2 ways 1- right click in Simpliciter, got to FADE IN-OUT MODES, check both fade in, and fade out. Secondly, on the output portion (upper right of the module) you will see a click knob. I generally turn that pretty aggressively. Let me know if that helps! I normally use this technique for live performance, as opposed to editing samples... but since I had both hands busy- and my foot controller wasn't hooked up, it was easier to have a looped sample for this video.

@Virtual Modular I posted a followup video w/ cables in view! ua-cam.com/video/-AzRv9XmZaA/v-deo.html

@@manweilermusic thanks, watching that now 👍

@@VirtualModular Does that answer all of you questions/ solve all of your current issues? This module is such a creative powerhouse! Amazing work by NYSTHI

@@manweilermusic yes, nice tutorial! Are you on Mac or Windows? I've found that as soon as I connect the record trigger input, it completely bombs rack. Nothing in the VCV log, but Windows event viewer shows Nysthi having an application crash. I'll have to fire up v1.6 to experiment further...

Brian, thanks for watching! In this Video I am using a Yamaha YEV-4. I use several different electrics, but tend to spend most of my time on 5- 6 string string electrics (Yamaha YEV-5, GlasserNY 5 string, Mark Wood Viper 6 string). If you are interested, check out my friends page at @ElectricViolinShop. Matt has tons of great info on this electric violin, and tons of comparison and info videos for instruments like it!

Rob, Good catch! :) Yep- this is my standard MuRF clone running in Stereo (updated and based on viniciusnisi's Murf 2.0 and tuned to match the murf) - I tried the Wide frequencies and the Bass frequencies- but the balance was not where I wanted it to be. I need to send you my updated versions of all 3! Midi tap tempo is included now.

Thanks! I am so happy you enjoyed it!

Thanks! When CV routing and control space was more constrained than my vision for the patch... unused modules were just unorthodox ways to get the job done.

And Congratulations! on your wonderful patch/ composition getting the recognition it deserved!

Some unsurprisingly gorgeous 3D renderings of them are floating around the interwebs somewhere :)

Thanks! and, I agree about the look- they are amazing- I love the circular flow w/ a pinch of an Art Deco vibe.. The only thing that throws me is the mix knobs are circular - as Unity points to the center, not South..... I can't tell you how many times I mixed Black holes the wrong way.

Thanks! I really enjoyed your patch as well- I loved the distorted/ fuzzed out bass you had that came in a ways into the song.
