Finished building mine last night, I know I'm barely scratching the surface of its capabilities right now. Demos like this are really helpful, and I can't wait to dive deeper!
Got mine built up and firing away this afternoon. What a corker! I'm going to take the individual gate outs into a sequential switch and use the EOC to start switching through reset points to make even more complex gate sequences tomorrow.
Demos consistently good, I’ve really slept on Befaco and normally mix and match but could totally see a Sequencer skiff focussed on these and a few of their others you’ve shown us. Thanks from Aus
Awesome module. I'm just getting started and was looking for other "more complex" sequencers... not sure is want I want anymore, think I'm going to explore this one for a good while. Thx for the tutorial!
owww , i've just ordered it, seems to be the ultimate weapon alongside my matter & transient. glitch all way trough !! haha thanks for your vidéos man, cheers!
The spawn of the Doepfer A-152+A-155, sort of. Looks great. Thanks again for your comprehensive coverage of things! I don't really like the layout of the controls+jacks at the top, and also don't like the idea of using an encoder press for tap-tempo (would prefer separate buttons that are actually buttons), but those are both fairly minor whinges. If I hadn't already just submitted a Thonk order I'd go submit a Thonk order!
To be honest I nearly exclusively clock it from other sources so I haven't really thought about the tap tempo. Good comparison to the Doepfer units, it definitely brings a lot of things together into a useful package of it's own.
Is the address mode necessarily quantized by a clock? Was hoping this thing could do exponential rhythmic patters (accelerando, rallentando) with curved envelopes.
a fun way to use this module is clocking it at audio rate to get a lo-fi graphic vco with a harmonically related (until it drowns in aliasing that is) pulse wave on the gate out
This sounds interesting. Can you explain a little more in depth. Noob here but would love to try this out. So far I'm guessing you send a square wave at audio rate to clock it but then what are you doing from there?
just a question, it seems that in the first simple sequence example, the sync between the gate and the cv change for pitch is slightly off, shouldn't that be more together? thanks
Ah ha sounds like an issue I was having with a quantizer. Just tried the module and I can't repeat that behaviour (minus said quantizer - it's not in the case).
I've been telling myself that my rack is going to have no sequencing modules and that I'll just keep doing it all externally, but this is making me very conflicted about sticking to that...
The price of this thing is amazing... Just bought an ADDAC206 which is more expensive and nowhere near as feature packed. That said, I could see the ADDAC206 working very well in conjunction with Muxlicer in the same setup.
Yeah having multiple similar but slightly different units can yield some interesting results when you chain them or push them into the areas where they differ. I don't know the 206 well.
ADDAC stuff is nice but sort of overpriced IMO if you buy it new, and their digital modules are a mixed bag. I sold the 206 because there was only one out for all the ins.
Awesome video and such a cool module. Thinking about this for my sequencing because of the patch programmability. Is there a way to trigger it to advance 1 step at a time, say if you had a trigger sequence running into the clock that wasn't consistent, say just hitting on 1,2,3 but 4 had no trigger? Or does it just try to maintain the clock at all times? Wondering if I need something like a Clep Diaz to gain that additional functionality.
DivKid, if you have time, I'd like to know more about addressing the switch in order to move to non-adjacent steps using probability from Marbles or the ADDAC504. I haven't done this before, but it looks like if I was using all 8 steps with the run/address knob sent to 0-10v, that each step would have a 1.25v trigger range. I don't see this in the manual and have been looking everywhere for some clarity.
great demo. I have the diy kit but i think it has a problem. When i try to do a basic sequence with a vco, puntting all faders down, the step one sounds higher than the other 7 steps (wich sound the same between them) any ideas of what could it be happening? thanks!
I have been rewatching this again and again. I am trying to sequence a beat using the muxlicer and some patching panda moduls. Is there any way to get shorter gates or to turn them into real triggers?
Do they need to be triggers? If it's an input that expects a trigger that module will likely ignore the sustained gate length any and just read the rising edge of the gate (the start). So you might not need to do anything.
DivKidVideo thanks, ben! I am using the n.v.h.s from patching panda. It seemed to me that I couldn‘t reproduce the same sound with gates as I could with short triggers. Maybe that‘s just my lack of knowledge because I am still learning. Your answer gives me hope and I am going to try some more!
Great demo, as always, I bought one! Spent all day trying to stop the Pico drum double striking from the gate out of muxlicer. Which drum modules were you using that ignore the second stage of the gate?
not sure to be honest but I haven't had issues with the PICO Drum double firing. It might be the level of the gate, can you attenuate the gate output and try that?
I'm wondering if you can make use of the slider voltage to control the clock speed and thereby have an adjustable step time. Either way, looks pretty dang cool...
Not by patching it back onto itself. You could use an external clock generator, clock Muxlicer with that, use Muxlicer's output to modulate the clock module and you'd have what you want.
I just got mine working. Despite the fact this can sequence pitch, would you classify this as primarily a percussion sequencer/tool? What is the default CV sequence voltage range? What's the best method to limit it to say a 2 octave range, so the sliders are less sensitive to pitch change? You should totally do a video of this with OCHD.
there are two ways to limit the voltage range: you can plug an offset into all in or you can push the switch up or down while holding down the encoder to limit it internally
Wow...this looks incredibly useful. Kind of like a sequencer and sequential switch married into one...this can replace quite a few modules in my rack! Any idea on future price?
Hey, I have the Muxlicer now and want to use it to step through 4 notes of a chord. I have the CVs coming out of the Harmonaig into the i/os and the common i/o going out to a VCO. However, is there no way to trigger or gate one step at a time? The one-shot triggers goes through all 8 steps, but I simply want to use it as a sequential switch with a manual trigger to each step.
@@DBPawlan Interesting. I own a Harmonaig as well and will soon own this one. My guess would be to modulate the address on muxlicer(could use its own cv sequence? Or another cv sequence) to shuffle through each individual gate step. Just guessing here based on the demo. I haven't really explored my harmonaig because I'm still trying to figure out what'd be best paired with it. I'm anticipating Loopop coming out with a video on it very soon! Also curious to hear how you're coming along with it.
@@roboslobonator I couldn't get the Muxlicer to work as a sequential switch until I realized that it was expecting +10V and I was only feeding it +8V which didn't work. You can, however, set each slider as the CV pitch for your VCO and select (or randomize) each note through CV addressing.
Hi, Possible to individually randomise the steps or ratcheting them? As we can do with Xaoc Triana2 Like: four CV/gate steps per step repetition or ratcheting per step trigger/gate muting on board clock divider voltage controlled play direction, transposition and reset Thx, David
Cool! Not sure you know... but that oscilloscope module follows you around a lot. Ha ha Sorry! Soooo... I’m sending you my address, so you can send me your module overflow. Lol 😝 one dem Clouds or Maths might be crowding you, for all I know.
if I say I am (I think I do, but I haven't watched the video back) then yes. If it's definitely quantised to musical scales (probably a natural minor) then also yes. If you want to point me to specific sections of the video I'll check and tell you. The outputs aren't quantised, it's variable analogue voltage.

thanks, hope you get some great results out of it.
Divkid you are a mastermind in the modular world thank you!!
thank you, really appreciate that and it's a pleasure to be able to share things with such a great audience.
So much power for such a good price. I'm getting one. Gotta hook this up to a Moog DFAM!
The best thing about your demonstrations is that you get good results.
good results? As in patches you like?
I freakin' love this module for some reason. One of my favs ever.
yeah really creative and fun way to sequence and switch.

oooh nice.
Have returned to this tutorial soo many times, always find something new to consider, thanks

Yeah a Befaco skiff would be really cool.
Purely based on the sequencing, my 'weird sequencer' collection needs to continue with one of these :)
Weird Sequencer collection ... that sounds great! :)
@@DivKid just like VCAs you can never have too many sequencers!

nice one Hugo.
just got mine yesterday and this video is extremely helpful 🤘🏼
awesome video on a awesome module! :) Thanks.
thanks
What a super cool Module!
12:33 is super cool for like 2 seconds, I like that effect
25 minute video ... only cool for 2 seconds! haha.
But yeah that effect is something to explore.
Tremendous tutorial. Thx!
Glad it was helpful!
really very compact fun and useful
Yeah compact but not a cramped interface they've really cracked that.
This is really cool... Ben, if I have to buy a bigger case it's your fault. :)
:) buy two, you'll need them eventually. It's a trap!
Man, I really dig the groovy Reggae riff at 16:15!
I guess it does have a little reggae vibe, didn't think about that.
Sounds more like the Macarena hahahaha.
16:30 - wow! Beautiful
Beautifully formed module and demo, love these videos the best Ben. Cracking cheese Gromit😊

can you give me a specific time in the video and I'll check that out.
sure, it's at 2:45, probably most obvious when only 1 gate per step, it seems as if the gate is a bit earlier than the cv change
Ah ha sounds like an issue I was having with a quantizer. Just tried the module and I can't repeat that behaviour (minus said quantizer - it's not in the case).
thanks for checking!
I get this as does my bro who also has module.
I've been telling myself that my rack is going to have no sequencing modules and that I'll just keep doing it all externally, but this is making me very conflicted about sticking to that...
well just tell yourself it's a switch then you're fine! :)

Hello, that's not possible on the module.
2:30 huh, so that's what the Thonk logo sounds like...
haha! Wondered what you were on about until I looked. Very good.
Just ordered a RYO paths kit... Maybe build this Befaco kit after... Switching switch=joy?
Double switch! That's good fun.
DivKidVideo Oh yes!! Just finished building the RYO paths... Fun and easy build!
Black panels and red, they'll look good next to each other too.
DivKidVideo indeed!!
there is quite a lot of glide glide going on. it seems the cv is still adjusting when the gate is firing...
Perfect 808 BD there on 10:28 what module is that?
Peaks from Mutable Instruments most likely.
Hi, when using this module as a sequencer, is there any way to limit the 'range' of CV / notes ?
Yes, watch the official muxlicer videos, can't recall how
I can't figure how to ratchet specific steps with incoming clock
Com I/O to gate mode
wow around 16:20 ... great !
oh yeah that one is good fun.
i dunno much about eurorack,
but can you compare it to mutable stages?(looks similar^^)
Can I just hook up a sine wave to this sequencer and than I can make sequences with pitch changes?
Yes
Good :)
thanks.
Sounds like the CV is slewing to it's new value when the gate hits. It's not a clean jump.
Vest videos ! 👍🏻
nice one Pablo! :)
What would we do without you
awwww thanks
I can never hear you hi hats, Ben. Or hardly. I guess youtube filters the top end of your lovely sparkly hats.
Or your hearing is as bad as mine.
