Those orchestral sounds are really beautiful! Looking forward to your comparison with Beads. I love that module, I use it so much. When I saw the release of Mojave it emediately made me think of Beads and if its “better” which is of course a very subjective thing anyway
I'm not sure if it's too much for you to compare Beads to Mojave, but I'd be interested. As there are things I see here that feel a bit more versatile and closer to what I'd like to achieve, and not quite sure if they're possible in beads. As I feel it's good to be aware of my own limitations as a synthesis enthusiast.
@@TheUnperson would love to see a video on that, came close on numerous occasions to picking up beads but for whatever reason just never did and then this came out, again I love this module and having a lot of fun but wonder if I made the right decision or not
@@TheUnperson Thanks, interesting good to know. I might be more interested in Mojave then. Because I use a Tasty Chips GR-1 for the type of thing Arbhar does. Maybe I should more be thinking Mojave vs. Clouds/Beads then. Though, Clouds based modules like Monsoon are quite a bit cheaper than Mojave. Have been very interested in Chase Bliss Mood mk.II for that live processing, which has more of a multi-algo, micro-looper take. (and of course no CV control).
Arbhar can work in that manner using follow mode. Constantly processing live audio and affecting it however you set it. That combined with onset detection
@@compucorder64I need to play more with it now I have mine on v2 but it has double the grain count now so I think it is smoother. 88 combining both normal grains and strike grains. The envelope can be changed to suit different scenarios. V2 has made a fairly deep module much deeper but things like accumulative record and track and hold are pretty killer features
Sounds great. How does it shape up against Beads? Seems like it's in the same sort of ball park. I've got a Beads but seem to struggle with it. Haven't really gelled with it. Love the demos I've heard. But it's a bit enigmatic to me. Even though I feel Mojave would be the same experience for me, I have to say it's peaked my interest.
That’s a good idea ~ I’ll start putting it in the description. In this vid I’m using: power supply, pams pro, maths, doepfer mult, plaits, variable waveform generator, z5000, Instruo carn, dual dagger, mojave, fx aid :)
The module sounds good and has some neat tricks but the interface is cramped and I feel like there are too many mini pots and then a big useless USB port. I've not seen anyone yet use the USB on the front panel of a Qu-Bit module bar the Nebulae. It seems like wasted space
Your channel contains an interesting tension that could be an opportunity you relish and explore further. On one hand your music is a magical and primary seduction. On the other hand you helpfully demo gear which I hope helps you well in the usual ways. The balance is almost perfect! Well done and thank you. Something to consider is how your musical skill and tasteful jam selection can omit the beginner’s experience- whether that is in the modular or musical dimension. I wonder if there is room for some exploration of your points of struggle or to imagine and show what it may be like to face frustration or limitation when using this gear. “See how this is out of tune now… I have learned key positions for this knob… so this really needs the filter… modulating this needs attenuation because the voltage range from this is x but that expects y”. When you do show things like this I have benefited the most. Contrasting with manufacturers demos using golden takes by virtuoso stars, the UA-cam gear demo crowd doesn’t need to trash gear to be balanced, it may be enough to show some more of how the sausage is made or figure out how to use ugly outtakes that are instructive. Either way thanks again Allie ☮️
Hey cheers for the kind words! The videos I put on my patreon are a bit more raw and often include my first explorations of modules before I make a more polished video for UA-cam. But I like your idea. It might be fun to set up a camera when I literally know nothing about a module - that can be the most frustrating part of getting a new module. All the anticipation turns into frustration lol
Sounds wonderful. I have a very basic modular setup at the mo, but there are so many great modules out there. I really like MI Clouds, well mst of their gear tbh but I'm seriously thinking that my next purchase will be the Expert Sleepers Disting EX, as it offers so much for a relatively modest price. My reasoning is that it will give me the opportunity to test out various utilities and help guide me in what would be worth getting as standalone modules. What are your thoughts?
Disting is a great way to experiment with loads of different modular functions! I think there might be some granular stuff in there too ~ plus plaits and rings! :D
@@TheUnperson yes, the granular algo looks very cool. The Plaits algo gives you 4 copies at once too. Not sure about the rings. 8 voice DX7 and 8 voice multisample engine. I've been looking through the Expert Sleepers videos on this and the Mk.4 and its just amazing. I'm also very interested in the quantizer, multi LFOs and Envelopes along with all the logic algos. I think I'll be using it in dual mode quite a lot for FX etc. too. Wonder if he'll come up with a Super Duper Disting EX++ Omega version 🤔😀😀
hey Unperson, so my question is... mojave or beads?
bloody good question!!
Those orchestral sounds are really beautiful! Looking forward to your comparison with Beads. I love that module, I use it so much. When I saw the release of Mojave it emediately made me think of Beads and if its “better” which is of course a very subjective thing anyway
Thank you! There's definitely some crossover - I think I'll tackle that video when I'm more familiar with Mojave :)
I watched this with trepidation, knowing you would make Majave irresistible... 😮
Haha cheers man! Did you resist? Lol
@@TheUnperson I'm giving myself a 24 hour cooling off period.. 🥴
@@Probbiehow’s that going 😂
@@etchasketch01 I'm trying to distract myself... 😎
@@Probbieso what happened in the end? Did you buy it? 😅
I've said it before and I'll say it again: You'd make me buy every module there is ;). Great music and video!
Haha thank you ~ glad you enjoyed ☺️
Great video. Sounds very tempting although I'd love your take on Beads comparison!
Thank you! Will definitely tackle that in future :)
I'm not sure if it's too much for you to compare Beads to Mojave, but I'd be interested. As there are things I see here that feel a bit more versatile and closer to what I'd like to achieve, and not quite sure if they're possible in beads. As I feel it's good to be aware of my own limitations as a synthesis enthusiast.
Also would be really interested to see a comparison
I'm definitely gonna compare the two in a future video :)
Each so-called patch is more of a complete ambient/electro song. Really amazing what you did.
Very glad you’re enjoying the music!! ☺️
@@TheUnperson Yeah mate 16:44 is very special. I do not own Maths and Plaits so I need to find a way to reproduce it.
Glad to see you back, missed you last Sunday, I measure the weeks but your vids 🙂
haha cheers man! Glad to be back. i was playing a gig last weekend and tried to get a video out but time got away from me :)
Me too man… I was in a cold sweat when I saw there was no new video 😅
9:10 sounding a lot like early Kenny Larkin here
not familiar with Kenny Larkin - gonna check him out now!
Gah, I'm freakin jelly, sounds great!
Cheers! Tis indeed a lot of fun ☺️
That just forces me to buy another module . Stop it !
Hahah I’m sorry 😆
Wonderful... Is the rhythmic part created by the Mojave itself ?
Tell me please...
Thank Uuu
Gorgeous tones & demo T U !
thanks! :)
Another great video man! I love my Mojave but will say i have found it a little challenging finding sweet spots but been a fun challenge
Thank you! I think I bonded with it faster than I did with Beads. Gonna explore it a bit more and compare the two I think :)
@@TheUnperson would love to see a video on that, came close on numerous occasions to picking up beads but for whatever reason just never did and then this came out, again I love this module and having a lot of fun but wonder if I made the right decision or not
Ayyyyyyyyyeeee.....10.3k......Next stop 100k!!!
Fingers crossed!! ☺️
can i run straight audio into it and make a grain from that?
Yes you can indeed!
some lovely sounds here, excited to get my hands on this in future!
Cheers! It’s definitely a lot of fun ☺️
I wonder what the most significant differences are between Mojave and Arbhar v2?
The Mojave is more like a live processor whereas the Arbhar can store tonnes of sounds and even move between 6 audio samples at once ☺️
@@TheUnperson Thanks, interesting good to know. I might be more interested in Mojave then. Because I use a Tasty Chips GR-1 for the type of thing Arbhar does.

@@jamesdmorganYes, that's how I understood it. And also, I thought Arbhar had the smoother/denser sounding granular engine, if I'm not mistaken.

It took me a long time to gel with beads ~ it can do some things really well. Mojave is definitely similar but maybe a bit more intuitive
Dude, the sounds you made are so good!
cheers man! :)
Love this channel 💫
Thank you! ☺️
That cello loop ! Then the radio dub sample 🎉
Hey man not sure if you would but can you list your modules that you use for the content on each video? Love to see what your using.
That’s a good idea ~ I’ll start putting it in the description. In this vid I’m using: power supply, pams pro, maths, doepfer mult, plaits, variable waveform generator, z5000, Instruo carn, dual dagger, mojave, fx aid :)
Beautiful as always!
Thank you :)
Nice one bruv. Granulars can just pluck the real from synthetic at times. Even more so when in really capable hands. Thanks again.
Cheers man! I’m a big fan too f granular for sure ☺️
Wonderful as always.
Although I try to resist buying all this fancy gear for monetary reasons - still a great source of inspiration for VCV rack :)
Thank you! I've been dabbling with VCV rack recently - it's insanely powerful!
Beautiful!
Another excellent vid... great work
Gracias! ☺️
Lovely!
Beautiful as always!
Thank you :)
This sounds so amazing! 🤯
Cheers man! ☺️

I do agree with you here - I'd have preferred to have the pitch and shape controls be the bigger knobs too.
That last patch was awesome!
Good? :D
@@TheUnperson haha oops. I fixed it! It was awesome man! Keep it up.
