great module, just got it today. most reviewers of modules/synths are so painful to hear (musically). I always come back to your channel to see if you have the module I want on review, cause I enjoy your melodies and sounds you do. Keep the vids comin'
Thank you for this in-depth look at the Nautilus. I own it for a couple of weeks now and still have a bit of a hard time getting pleasing sounds out of it. I feel like most of the time the delay lines don´t really come to a rythmic sweet spot, but maybe I didn´t try hard enough. Also most of the croma effects aren´t my cup of tea, but I will definetly keep on messing around with it after I saw your inspiring video. Keep up the great work, it´s always amazing to see new content from you! Greetings from Germany
Thank you! I’d definitely recommend sticking with it. It took me ages to get anything decent out of Beads, and now it’s one of my favourite modules. With nautilus i recommend using the freeze button often and using the effects subtly to add variation to the repeats ~ so much fun ☺️
I can hardly tell what's Nautilus and what's Data Bender at some points. At 21m50s, everything gets seriously weird and wonderful. Brilliant as always. Happily, a friend has offered both Nautilus and Data Bender to me for sale, so I may soon be equally confused in real life as I am on the internet!
Oh bebeh :) I wanted to check out Nautilus for some time but always forgot it existed somehow, and here ya come with just the right video. Thanks for sharing, Ali!
@@TheUnperson as someone who does not have hardware, I keep trying to find ways to replicate the Nautilus in VCV Rack. Your video today has revealed some helpful details of the signal path that make it potentially possible to mimic some portions of the awesomeness of the Nautilus in VCV. Thank you.
Man there’s about four or five module companies who should be paying you money. Managed to pick up a couple of plaits. Pretty much on the back of your channel. I’m sure there’s been plenty of other sales directly linked. I want a nautilus and data bender now 😂
I was checking the Qubit forums last night and it looks like there's a hidden Easter egg, check it out 😜. I'm going to have a play later. Lovely demo, I've been really enjoying Nautilus, one of my favourite FX modules.
@@TheUnperson it's AMAZING. Not what I was expecting. The inputs don't work I think, It's a kind of like a sonar blip, try messing with the clock button and the different delay modes work too. Be interested to hear what you get out of it. Going to try the modulation inputs.
Haha yes, I didn’t even notice! I guess the shimmer is doing the octavey stuff, and when I got freeze going you can hear more clearly what the z5000 is doing :)
@@TheUnperson Just came back to this video. You think you will replace the Z5000 with the Nautilus in your FX rig? Or is the Z5000 more musical for you? I'm on the fence re Z5000.
Hi Ally, awesome as always! The sound on sound feature was a real eye opener with this module ! Question if I may…if hp was a premium, and budget aside, (I too have a Nifty Case inspired by your amazing videos), which effect module would you recommend for best all rounder ? If you had to pick one out of the 3 in your rack, which one would you go with ? Nautilus, FXAid (s, xl or pro) or the Z5000 ? Many thanks and keep up the great reviews! 👏
Hey man - thanks for the kind words. I think the FX Aid Pro would be the best all rounder - and if budget isn't an issue then 2 Fx Aid XL's, or 3 FX Aid 's S haha! There is something crazy like over 200 algorithms to choose from so it really does cover all the bases. I guess you can also throw Disting EX into the ring too. It does a crazy amount of cool things!
Many thanks for the recommendation, much appreciated. The FX Aid Pro looks like a cracking unit and one I keep coming back to. Your input may have just swung it for me!😄👍
Thanks man, .. you make a pretty compelling demonstration. On the "sound on sound" feature .. do you know if it's possible to set, (or clock?) an exact of time, for each cycle?
Not exactly.. I was clocking the module with pams and would change the delay time until I found the position which is a couple bars in length ~ takes a bit of tweaking!
Hey man can you just get effects modules and not need oscillators etc? Im really into different fx and was considering getting fx mods for my deluge and hooking up to my pedals like chase bliss but am completely green in eurorack. I have no idea what modules are have to haves to get the system working besides a power supply case like intellijel and then modules and patch cables.
hi there! Yes absolutely - in fact, I focus mainly on using the effects modules. I made a video a while ago about my eurorack fx rack where I talk about every module and why/how I use them. ua-cam.com/video/gSnH2oiK7jU/v-deo.html&t
@@TheUnperson oh yes i actually watched part of this a little while back. Thanks. Good to know. My only other question is what is the bare minimum on a setup i could start out with? That rack is basically what im looking at except i am interested morphagene and nautilus. Can you literally just start out with getting say morphagene and power and not need anything else to get going? Would be using this with deluge, hydra and my guitar. Thanks you content is awesome
@@TheUnperson oh great to know my man thank you so much for letting me know. Im not sure if i will jump into it but could not find out an answer to this. Ive spent so much on fx pedals and synth gear i dont know if i want another obsession but i will definitely watch your content. Keep making it man. Thank you.
Just stumbled across this one, great vid and demo of the various modules and features. I'd be keen to see ore about how you decided to setup this particular rack and why you use the OP-1, for example. Also, no one ever discusses how they route audio out, e.g. mixers, speakers and so on. This sounds really basic, but a few mins talking about that is useful when deciding on setups. Could you for example see the above modules working with the Moog Sound Studio?
really nice demo, really like your playing. Is it me or i'm the only one not liking the panel design for the Nautilus. I find it too charged. I would love a replacement panel that still has the lights moving and all but in a more minimal aesthetic.
@@TheUnperson 3 max... Thats how it goes right? I just need to master my Digitakt and my Hydra is not seeing much usage lately... Thanks for the videos!
hey man, im sure you mentioned it and i just missed it are you running an external power supply to power this system instead of using the niftycase power?
You are so incredibly mysical, my dear man... I haven't ever heared you do anything on your channel that doesn't hit the button. Wonderful
why thank you! A very lovely comment indeed :)

The obligatory like on this video! You have an amazing result from your amazing touch with electronics! Ho baby!😂 glad you kept that in!
Hahah I forgot about that ho baby!
Your videos are literally a live performance! I could come back just to listen to the sounds
Very glad you’re enjoying the musical side of the videos :)
That sound on sound mode is a beaut. Your looping was class!
cheers man! :)
Love what you do, very inspiring. I'm getting my Nautilus tomorrow! Peace!

The section around and beyond 22:43 felt like delving into slow synthwave while time-travelling across a slew of chaotic timelines.
haha epic description - I made use that in future!! :)
Other people have made this module sound shit, and here you making me think that I need one. Awesome video again!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :D
It’s an amazing delay… I bought it after hearing it when it was launched. Super musical as all qubit modules
And btw: you’ve done the best demo of it I’ve seen
@@Hessencemusic thank you! You're right it's soo musical and fun :)

Them little patch cables are mint..where can i get some like that?
I actually can’t find them anywhere anymore. I’d really like some more for myself but no one stocks them. I’m not even sure who made them lol
Great one! But hold up, did you leave the z5000 on during the whole drum part of the shimmer section? Delay into delay is cool, but what’s what? 😅

awesome demo! did you clock everything from the pam's clock including the op-1?? cheers
Thank you! Everything in the rack is clocked by pams, and the op1 is at the same bpm but not synced. I just hit play in time :D
interesting workflow and sound. How does it sound with Rings? Can you do a Rings + Nautilus Video?
That's a great idea actually! I'll add it to the list of future videos :)

Simple enough
Hi there
hello!
Yo.
I want to do this stuff so badly. Can't afford. Sad face emoji here.
There are definitely cheaper ways to achieve this than eurorack. A basic looper, some effects and a cheap keyboard can be endless fun!
