Square one was my favorite. They came to my school to recruite some kids for a skit, and I was one of the 4 kids chosen to meet with them. I wore this bad ass breakin outfit with a neon yellow shirt with puffy triangles and squares because it was made of math. I wrote a horrid math rap as I was the only hip hop kid in the school. I was so hyped to meet them, and in the end all they did was take headshots and bounced. I was devastated and I think I actually cried. I believe it was the first time I ever cried in school. The second was because I got second place at the math Olympiad.
Wow that's an amazing story! I think Square One introduced me to the Fat Boys with their song about how many burgers they were going to eat
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC that’s right! I think they also had kid and play in an episode. Fat boys was my first piece of vinyl as a kid. My mom was so mad I was scratching with her pointer sisters record. I wonder how many kids got put on to hip hop from that show.?
This is such a safe space on the internet where we just explore sound. I watch something from makenoise daily.
This just gave me so much respect for Danny Carry being able to visualise the polyrhythms he played on the drums in Lateralus is incredible.
I love these videos.
Make Noise is my favorite synth maker, and these videos are part of the reason why.
Thanks so much for doing what you do, and sharing with us.
Happy synth trails.
Thank you so much ⚡️🎶⚡️
sooo true, its a kind of Lifestyle... Make Noise !
Mathematical, musical, and inspired. Gorgeous patch!
Thanks Edgar!
Square One! Yes! Walker once again proves his awesomeness. Thank you for the nostalgia trip.
Thanks for watching!! Happy to see how many people also remember Square One :)
That episode was how I learned about Fibonacci, too! Excellent.
Awesome!!
Holy moly I can't believe that someone else remembers Square One! Whenever I hear about the Fibonacci Series I always think of it. Also, their amazing song about Archimedes.
Sometimes when I revisit childhood TV memories I'm disappointed but all the Square One I've found on UA-cam has been even better than I remember :D
i love this patch, the song that it becomes is seriously fantastic
Thanks!!
maybe one of the best videos so far
That mod knob added some brilliant textured fuzz.
Lots of really neat mathematical principles out there just begging to be used. I mean, look how we've embraced Euclidean sequences and the like. I like having clocked stuff in powers of two, either divide or multiply. Also like using my 4ms Rotating Clock Divider driven from a random source to futz around with different clock divisions. Odd-metered polyrhythms are my bag
Square One! I still have the theme song in my head. Square One and Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego were my after school routine.
SAME
Great idea ! Thanks , this is gonna be my next patch, looks so fun.
Happy patching!!
MATHNET... my new obsession.
Square One overall was unbelievably good - you might enjoy this sketch about Tony and the Togas ua-cam.com/video/6DzfPcSysAg/v-deo.html
How fascinating the relationship between math, music, art and technology. Love to try some out on my Make Noise Shared System.
Happy patching!!
This is so badass.
I wish my area had a music scene so I could sell off my gear and buy a shared system.
I'm trapped with gear I can't sell, and I spend my time drooling over the modular kit you produce.
sell it on ebay?
Beautiful patch.
Thanks for this one. The Fibonacci is seen in nature for instance the spirals of a shell. I use the numbers in my paintings. If you plot out the sequence in a spiral on paper. Then where you begin is where you place the center of interest (subject). BTW the beats you triggered were polyrhythms. Nice!
Fun times!
Art and synths seem like a great combination, to me too.
I feel a strong connection between my abstract synth music, and my abstract art.
Very interesting. I thought this was going to turn into weird IDM mush, but the ratios and/or your approach made it actually quite pretty in the end. Nice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It would be interesting to have a bank of LFOs, each of whose ratios to the previous LFO in the chain was the ‘golden’ ratio. Sorta like DivKid’s Ochd module, which I don’t THINK follows that rule… It would be cool if it did though!
You could easily program this on a EuroPi - even just adapt the harmonic LFO code
with larger fibonacci numbers, the ratio between the current fibonacci number and the one before is approaching the golden ratio.
Subharmonicon?
I would not wait until the last 3 seconds of the video to ask for comments. When it comes to math patterns in music, intuition tells me the simpler the better. Thinking of the Tempi output controls as a complex time signature, I like 1,2, 5, 7, then trigger additional sounds with the remaining two outputs using 2 and 5. Or multiples of the 2 and the 5. Sometimes I delay trigger signals or use them to change signal routing, usually to create rests (too many sequencer patterns avoid rests, which helps give synthesizer music a non-musical reputation).
when the pitch sequencing started, it reminded me of Lateralus by Tool, which also uses the Fibonacci sequence 🙂
Ah nice! Somebody else also mentioned Tool - will need to check out that song!
Genius
You are blowing my mind
Thanks for watching!!
Ha! Love it. What a great inspiration source for a patch 😊👏👍
Thanks!!
absolutely fabulous !
Thanks!
this is such a fun patch!!!!
Great one Walker! I reallly like your tutorials.
Thanks!
It would be cool to have an Ornament & Crime app that does exactly what you did with Tempi. And an ability to rotate through the number sequence. As the numbers got larger you would have something like a truly mental "Sloths" clock.
This is a great idea. I think this would definitely be possible on the o_C
Love this!
you got some nice grooves there🥁
Awesome as always!👍👍
Thank you!
Steevio's piece "Primes" is based on prime numbers. Euclidean and non Euclidean sequences of prime numbers length and oscillators tuned to prime number harmonics
Good rec! Thanks for watching!
Sounds lovely
Thank you!
This is really cool! Is anyone aware of a clock source that works like Tempi in VCV Rack? Great video man, peace ✌️
clocked should work, only 3 clock divisions but you can link 2 clocked modules together
It just occured to me that a clock division of zero (of a multiplication of zero) has the same outcome as muting a channel... Maybe science is overlooking something that will enable warp speed or time travel. Very interesting patch and rhythms!
Mathematicians recommend against dividing by zero. I’ve done it and it’s been a trip.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC You need to get your Riemann Sphere out then all will be ok at least for a while...
I have a habit of hiding all videos marked with PREMIERE with a date set in the future. Needless to say, I haven't seen many videos of yours since the feature was implemented. Finally I got to catch one.
You'll miss out on a lot that way unfortunately. I understand the dislike for this launch method but the way UA-cam works, videos that don't use it are basically buried. On our channel all such videos stay up and can be viewed anytime. It can also be fun to sit in on the chat during the launch if you're able! Hope you decide to check out our videos in the future.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC I will, of course. Can the 0-Ctrl do the Phonogene drum slicing trick, like the Pressure Points can? It's one of my fave Phonogene uses.
@@bitspacemusic Yes, should be able to!
That‘s a nice topic! I asked myself, when will make noise make a video about the Fibonacci….exciting about your new episode! Greetings 🖖☺️
Euclidian algorithm might me one to explore as well! cheers!
one math trick I know is using prime numbers to generate long sequnces. Olivier Messiaen used it in his composition Quartet for the End of Time (both harmonicly and rhythm). also Lateralus by Tool uses Fibonacci for distributing syllables in the lyric
Good examples, thanks!!
very very nice patch thank !
Thanks for watching! ⚡️
Now that was cool!
Thank you!
8:07 sequence pitch of osc1 is fire 🔥🔥🔥 prog AF
⚡️⚡️
Holy crap I loved that show but forgot what it was called. Off to a youtube hole after this vid!
I’m actively working on using a smart chessboard to create interesting rhythmic patches! Currently using a Pulsar-23 as my main voice, and I’d love to use modules but the Make Noise 7U case still isn’t available… 😅
This sounds like fun!!
more U's please
How about these?
Recamán's sequence,
The Busy Beaver problem,
The Catalan numbers,
The Mersenne primes,
For some other fascinating sequences see “Pictures from the OEIS: The (Free) OEIS Store”
Hey sounds great! the modules used !
Thanks!
Can we expect a new batch of LxD's this year?
Trying to understand why this is making me so giddy. Freaking brilliant.
Glad to hear it!! ⚡️⚡️
golden rule sequence, taken straight from life itself
I never really saw the need for a tempi.. the shares system has so many clock and trigger sources .. some more obvious and controllable than others .. I have a function in mine next to the maths for a 3rd function generator .. I always was reaching for a 3rd that wasn’t tbere ..
anyway …. I’ve never seen the tempi used for complex related divisions. I may need to find a space in here for one.
*I got the OG CV system .. went back to PG.. less menu diving and more immediate and the mk1 Rene .. I’d happily upgrade that but never get around to it
Wonderful patch idea man
⚡🤘⚡
so good
Thanks!
Makes me want to listen to Tool "Lateralus" again!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks :]
Fibonasty 🔥
When are you and @bradyharen going to team up and do a bunch of videos for Numberphile? There seems like there would be an infinite number of ways to talk about mathematics and music when it comes to modular synths and synthesis in general. How can we make this collab happen?
I don't know that one, thanks!
Oh yes. Numberphile could definitely do an episode about mathematics and music and why not with Make Noise.
@@electronicgarden3259 @makenoise They have done music episodes before but I think the ability to actually hear different mathematical concepts would be a natural fit for numberphile. In my ideal world you would be one of their reoccurring guests so you could explore all sorts of math/music intersections.
Mathnet, that was my jam. 1123, wasn't that the tile patern? And the kid played drums, and said "badum dum man!"?
My recollection was that kid was in a different mystery - his name was Rimshot and he was a big fan of Steve Stringbean 😛🎶
We should be friends :)
TOOL's Patch!!
The solar systems in the original Elite computer game were created using Fibonacci. That was the first I‘ve heard of it.
Whoah that’s cool
Check out the work of dance choreographer and performer Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker. Her floor patterns for basing compositions and movement on are based on the same maths. Her taste in music is not bad either but she could use some modular I think ;-)
Thanks for the recommendation!!
I was going to reference this as well - she uses Steve Reich's music in some of her dance pieces.
In my guitar pedalboard signal chain, I was told that reverb should come after everything else. Is that the same school of thought in Eurorack?
The only thing not allowed is rules 🤘
I can almost hear Oumou Sangare singing on top of this.
COOL!
Glad you liked it!
i think you might have just sold me on tempi
🙃
Fibonatch for the win
+1 for square one/mathnet!
LOL, loved Mathnet
Damn, you just sold a Tempi 🥳!
Happy patching!!
Nice patch, Walker. I got confused when you started sequencing the pitches. Seemed like the number of steps in the sequence didn't correspond to the clock divisor gating the same oscillator. Not that that's bad, but could you do it?
I actually noticed that too, I believe it had to do with the fact that that sequencer channel wasn't being clocked yet. I try to feign non-confusion whenever possible 😛
Very cool. I’m thinking this might be doable with René?
Via States you could probably do it - would be complicated to get the higher numbers accurately though.
MATHMAN MATHMAN MATHMAN!
Mathman really couldn't catch a break... though I think I do remember at least one time where he won
Conlon Nancarrow from the future
So.. I have no Tempi. What els could I use?
Most clock dividers could handle the lower numbers. Also sequencers with gate outputs and differing step lengths per channel, you can use the first or last gate of the sequence to divide by however many steps the sequence is.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Great tip, thank you!
💚❤️ Make Noise!🥹
Noise 😀
⚡️
Omg. Mathnet! YES!
The names are made up, but the problems are real.
Do you guys have bloopers for these episodes?
Stay tuned 😛
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC I hope you mean it!
Oof Ooof Ooooof Oooooooof Ooooooooooooof Ooooooooooooooooooooof!
