Adding Syncopation to Sequences

It's easy for a synthesist new to modulars to fall into the rut of just recreating their normal synths with their new toy. This video demonstrates how a unintentional tech mishap led to a different approach for patching a sequenced voice, including why you should strongly consider adding a control voltage processor and clock multiplier/divider to your modular system if you haven't already.

Great example of the variable divider / gate time to drive the filter envelope in a sequence!

[@fablesofsilence]

Very cool. I love the syncopated rhythm this creates. Must try this.

[@housemachine509]

I need to revisit this 👌

[@mattsmith1440]

Excellent video. Very clear and detailed.

Thank you. This was a warm-up for a full course I did on modular synthesis: bit.ly/LearnModular

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

Awesome tutorial, and a great teacher.

[@fl7210]

Helpful as always

[@wariusgaius]

Enjoyable demo!

[@squirrelvalhalla9386]

Thanks! Great info and nice sounds!

[@MartinDoudoroffLLC]

Very good tutorial.

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

Very good information, thank you!
For those who don't have the Roland 572, the Doepfer A-162 dual trigger delay works well for that application.

[@LearningModular]

I just got one of those myself!

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

I love combining the original gate with the delayed gate into an "OR" - can really humanize the rhythm. With heavy ratcheting can emulate mallet percussion technique.

[@LearningModular]

Cool idea. I've been using delayed gates to trigger a second envelope, to help create "plucked" and double-stick type sounds.

[@synthced9536]

Cool thank you. Really instructive!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Good stuff! I need to get a switch and more clock modulation devices to create self generative patches without a sequencer.

[@metalboxhead]

Great demonstration Chris!

[@LearningModular]

Thank you - it was a real case of making lemonade from lemons!

[@MrMiar94]

great tutorial 👍🏻
