I haven't read all of the comments, but early on you say something like "one head (#4) is engaged". Until today I thought that's what the 4 pushbuttons are for, but now I know that they are for sending heads selectively to the feedback circuit. AFAIK only the 4 knobs control the "engagement" of each dTape head. At any rate, thanks for the video. I've had my Magneto for years but never really dove into it until today. I still don't completely understand it, but I'm a lot closer to doing so than before.
Please make more Magneto videos. I’ve owned this module for a little while, but have not come close to getting out of it what it has to offer. Great to see what others are doing / have discovered. Great video. Thanks! 🙏
I probably will. I feel like I’m still learning about the loop and sample features. As soon as I get a better handle on them, I’d love to share. I think the biggest thing is just being willing to suck at it for a bit while figuring it out. Thanks for watching.
Super inspiring video, thanks. Magneto and Starlab got me started on the slippery slope on Eurorack recently 😂 I've not scratched the surface of what they can do yet but having great fun exploring. True, I could do all of this on my laptop, but there's just something about being hands on.... 😁
Thanks for watching and for the compliment. You’re totally right, there’s something about having hands on control that makes it sound and feel different for some reason. (Even if it’s just in our head)
Great demo. I wanted this module, but you’ve just about persuaded me that I need it. I was briefly tempted by Intellijel’s Sealegs, but this looks not only deeper, but more wide-ranging in what it can do. Oh, and subbed too- you have some eclectic-looking content!
Flipping brill! - ill never afford that module and your performances made me watch all the way to the end where you pointed out free/affordable alternatives. Showing the modules uniqueness gave me some ideas on how to build my own chain. Keeping it real - 5*
I just liked and subscribed.. I understand how INFINITE works in LOOP mode (disables the record head to continuously loop..) ..but I am still confused about how the INFINITE button works when in SAMPLE mode..? ..thank you for explaining in advanced..
@@normdurkin6425 thanks for watching! To my understanding it works the same way and just disables the record head so it will playback the most recent thing played. In sample mode, it would just disengage the the record head. If you engage it it will hold that sample. I’ll keep looking into it but that’s how I’ve always understood it.
@@amberelmmusic ..yes after I wrote the comment I recorded voice samples into Magneto to better hear what is going on.. if you disable INFINITE when in SAMPLE mode the sample loop will fade out depending on the REPEATS and Tape 4 potentiometers settings (nice bonus sample fade feature).. now I am trying to fully understand INFINITE in ECHO mode.. if you press INFINITE when in ECHO mode it seems to loop one delay cycle (heads 1,2,3,4 looped)..but I not sure if I am understanding it or explaining it correctly.. ? ..I got my Magneto cheap from someone who didn't do much with it.. it might not have the latest firmware updates yet.. I think it has done some glitchy things but it might have been me not fully understanding while learning.?.
Excellent concise videos. Thank you. I’m a big strymon fan and would love a magneto/starlab combo but have promised myself I won’t get into modular. I will make do with a dig/night sky combo instead
I use mine most in sample mode, often pitching/slowing down an octave for a real wonky old tape loop sound. It's odd your video ignores sample mode altogether. No mention at all. Or maybe I missed it, idk.
Thanks! The closest non eurorack might be the el capistan pedal by Strymon. I’m not sure if it has a shift mode. The Volante is also a pretty similar pedal. I actually wanted to do a section in the video comparing it to the pedals because a buddy of mine has both of those…but I couldn’t get a hold of them in time. Maybe another time.
I subscribed to your channel at 1.79k, I feel special. Good review view. Just enough talking. Magneto sounds cool. Where would we be without Echo machines.
The Strymon Modules are an absolute joy. Awesome vid. Thank you.
Love it brother. I plan to bring back psychedelic guitar and ambient music together. 🎶
I’d love to hear it when you do!

Hey! That was a very good demo of Magneto. Bravo!

I love it so much. It’s so versatile. Thanks for watching!
Great demo and nice sounds.
Congratulations!!

Thanks a lot ! I’m glad you were able to get some good ideas from it. If you solidify your chain, I’d love to hear what you come up with.
amazing module
Nicely done, reminded me of a few features I keep forgetting that it has as I too often use it in "easy" mode as a ping-pong delay.
Ya. I’m still learning all of its secrets. Even using it as a ping pong though, awesome module.
Thanks for watching.

great vid, great sounds. and very inspiring, made me patch it up right now..🧡
Glad to hear it!! Thanks for watching!

Haha. I fought modular for a while. A dig/night sky combo is pretty sweet set up though.
Thank you for the video.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching.
subbed and liked ;)

sold!

So when are we getting a modular rack instruments album?
Oh man…thanks for asking. Hopefully not too long from now.
Great !
Thanks!
Wow, this is fabulous. Is this also offered as a pedal/box for us non-eurorack users?
Thanks! The closest non eurorack might be the el capistan pedal by Strymon. I’m not sure if it has a shift mode. The Volante is also a pretty similar pedal.

Still the best delay in Eurorack, that pitch mode/ping pong delay is 💋
Strymon is the "crème de la crème" ❤
Agreed. They are so much fun.
4:56 fucking beautiful man
Thank you so much!
