Having spent half an hour of patching time just this past weekend trying to “dial in” an XPO -> QPAS -> [ left to Optomix ch.1, right to Optomix ch.2] patch, I have already contacted my preferred retailer and made arrangements. 2024 is shaping up to be a good year for me and my little case!
if you patch the channel 2 outputs into another module, does the mix output still include channel 2 or is it removed from the mix? edit: confirmed via twitter that you cannot remove channel 2 from the mix output.
I did work in Berlin, and had some time to kill before catching a flight home. Walked into Schneiders and on their front desk was a qmmg, just arrived from the US, #75 or something. Let's just say I barely came up cash positive from the job... It's such a treasure that module.
Is this right, that the DXG is cutting some crispy high frequencies, even if control potentiometer is full up and the control input is triggered by the gate signal of the MIDI-to-CV?
Probably depends on the height of the gate coming out of the converter. If it’s 5V then it may not open the gate fully. Also, it is possible to “damp” the circuit by fully opening it with shorter triggers. I’d recommend amplifying the gate signal and/or trying different settings of the knob.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC simple A/B test. Gate goes always to QPAS VCA. Test A: signals routed to DXG channel 1 or 2, potentiometer fully up. Test B: signals routed to DXG Aux channel. Clearly: test A is missing the aggressive and crispy heights, that are observed with test B. That means DXG is not a true mixer because it’s cutting the heights away. Is my DXG malfunctioning?
There is definitly a demand for a dual LPG optimized for a stereo signals. I also think that it is pretty expensive for 8HP without any vactrols. And where can I buy those vactrol ear-ring?

@@sonicspecter and in the US, EU made modules cost more. You can buy a Joranalogue Delay 1 for £244 from Juno Records, from Perfect Circuit it costs $399, which is about £312...I preordered mine from Juno for $267, because they don't charge your card until it's despatched, but it's available for $254 (£199) from other retailers here. At Perfect Circuit it's $215, so it's 18% more expensive across the pond for us, still more reasonable than the 27% increase going the other way, for Joranalogue modules anyway.
@@BappinProductions I don't agree with your observation. In Germany the other Make Noise products are currently 10-15% more expensive than MSRP (which is reasonable considering the € to $ exchange rate).
@@sonicspecter I don't really know why I'm busting your balls about it, but I will stop now. You understand that imports incur additional costs and it's OK to have an opinion about the cost/perceived value of modules or anything really. Have a good one, with or without buying a DXG ☺
No more hunting around for black panel LXD or Optomix! Stereo to go with XPO/Morphagene/Qpas/X-Pan/Spectraphon/Mimeophon. That seems about f***ing perfect to me. But dual stereo LPG plus Aux in mix? That's just wonderful. SOLD.
Dear MN. I scored a 2nd XPO from b-stock at my local vendor. They're holding it for me, and I will receive it in early February. Is there any chance you could do a video of 2x XPO's through the DXG? Just to see what it can do?
Already ordered mine to replace Optomix, got to have the stereo option to go with all the other stereo modules..so much more happy patching in stereo, plus its black. Maybe do the same for modDemix :)
There is not a dedicated panel control for the "LPG" response, but there are a couple fun quirks of the circuit that can be used to alter the decay - we will go into these very soon in future videos!
Ok im not going to lie the beginning of this weird was beyond weirdoville but this module may come in useful for some people. Im on the modules that paved your way, morphagene and mimeo predecessors. V2s with new features to be precise
The DXG is primarily designed for the gating and mixing of signals that already contain stereo image or motion, such as those derived from the XPO or Morphagene, or processed by the X-PAN or QPAS.

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC totally agree, i was thinking about using it with xpo, but then the difference between sides is only timbral, not volume or gate length. If I want some more control over my xpo stereo outs I'll need to add some other module, like xpan or qpas, which doesn't really make sense to me
@ Yes, each module in the system has its purpose. The DXG is very useful for mixing down and gating multiple mono or stereo voices. The X-PAN and QPAS are more oriented toward adding stereo animation to voices that may not already have it. These modules are all designed with each other in mind :)
@@Romanowitch clicks. just read what people write about on modwiggler in the morphagene topic. New modules are always great, but we also need to think about supporting existing modules!
Maybe an all new Morphagene/Phonogene successor is in the works on the new digital platform that Spectraphon is on, since they specifically mentioned it being their most silent platform yet. Hopefully the next version will not have the much discussed "coil whine" noise emanating from the module itself, along with no more excessive "hiss" in the signal path that many people have experienced since Morph released in 2017. 😉
I was on the verge of buying some more optimix modules when I read that the U.K. & EU banned vactrols…. I already have 3 optimix modules and 2 MMGs…… always wanted a qmmg….. actually there’s a thought…. Would it be easier to do a run of vactrol-less QMMGs?🤔

Haha. Surely inspired by Spinal Tap "just listen to that sustain......."
@@SectorSevenSlumz Yes!

Vactrolman is legend. I'm dying to hear his tracks.
Just noticed the DJ Screw book on the shelf! Nice
Absolutely love this video. I laughed out loud during the first part. Great module!
Thanks for watching!

I love the Spinal Tap reference!!! Looking forward to getting DXG!!!
Another great release! Congrats to the MN team! As usual, a great walk-through Walker. Can't wait!
Thanks for watching!!
The tie-dyed sleeves is what sold me on this... 🙂
Great intro, Marty and Nigel! 😉
Loved the beginning lol and perfect timing on this, just preordered!
Happy patching!
excellent with stereo modules - ordered. Thanks MN!

i have 8 hp left. i dont even know what this does. i preordered.
Haha, I came for the feature walkthrough, but found this hilarious introduction. I may need one of these.
Thanks for watching!!
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Thanks for making some of my favourite modules. My DXG is underway

Glad you enjoyed!
Why do I want it already?
Ok Vactrolman. And where are the vactrols for the lxd? We are waiting so long for the module. Can you give an update to the situation?
We have shipped some LxD units recently... it's likely that there will be more!
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC god bless you Make Noise! Europe is waiting for a loooong time. Finally
Amazing intro haha
OMG THE BUCHLA BONGO VOICE IS BACK!!!!! ❤

Got this on pre-order- but I’m still hoping to be lottery-winner lucky and be able to buy an LxD…
Lovely
Stoked 🤘
I noticed you didn't seem to touch or mention the Strike input at all. Hopefully you'll cover that soon in another video.
Yes of course, stay tuned for more patchin'!
Is there a way to alter the attack/decay response of the LPG, or are those characteristics pretty much unchanging?
There is not a dedicated panel control for the "LPG" response, but there are a couple fun quirks of the circuit that can be used to alter the decay - we will go into these very soon in future videos!
Very cool! I got outnof modular but i have a single takaab lpg for patching my synths into. Any word on producing more LxD modules?

Drum loop on the Morphagene :)

I believe that our dealers will be putting it on their sites starting today :)
Hey I want to buy the set up at the end of the vid. make it a one click purchase hahah but really do that.
A cruel tease to those who waited for the QMMG rerelease. Still waiting... Not that I'm not looking for a space for at least one of these.
I wanna be vactrolmen‘s pal forever
Nooooooooooooooooo vactrols! That's alright by me! It sounds great.
How about doing an A/B comparison video DXG vs Optomix to help me decide if I want to replace Optomix :)
Would need to also include a comparison of your Optomix to every other Optomix :P
Y’all knew first question gonna be
WHERE ARE THEY???
nice marketing yall of geniuses
My mind has been opened a little…
❤❤❤
ok guys, not bad. But maybe it’s time to update the morphagen firmware and fix the bugs with unstable green sections and stuttering?
What stutters ? I'm intrigued
Stutters sound fun
My morphagene is a beast
Year 6 Still going strong
