Stay Noisy!
Ha, synthesizers are cool. Though I ended up finding this video because I was looking for the Punch-Out!! character.
great module, love mine. I actually learned a few bits from this and i've had it a while. That clouds looks so good too. super tempted by the hertz donut and kermit
Thank you for the thorough explanation. Your drone jam is beautiful!
Really enjoyed this demo, subscribed :)
very nice video Quincas!
Great video thanks. I had no idea about the shortcuts to change the octave so this is very useful.
Thanks for sharing. Awesome jam!
Yes! I've been waiting ever since you replied to my comment!!!
The IME MK3 module line up is insane
My favorite Eurorack Manufacturer
Thank You for amazing demo
Thank you for this review. It's a great module that I'm going to understand even better thanks to your video.
This was great, definitely in my bucket list.
Great demo!
Amazing video and performance! Definitely a module to get!!
Thank you so much for this in depth film. Superbly thorough.
It’s very rare, in a you tube review, to actually see what just the module on its own can do. Usually they are patched to numerous others somewhat obscuring the true characteristics of the films focus. I ordered one due to your performance so many thanks again.
Wow, thank you!
You won't regret it
@@QuincasMoreira Hi, I have a problem with my Piston Honda mkIII.
It seems that my module does not register automations and movements during the preset EDITING.
Let me explain :
If for example I stay on preset 3 and then press the encoder, "editing" comes up.
I then move some parameters to record the movements in my preset like in your video, press the encoder again and save the preset.
But the preset remains static and nothing is moving.
(Ps. I also tried switching to "all parameter" mode, but it still doesn't work).
Is it a firmware issue ?
Please help me (21:32)
very cool, that's another module for my shopping list!
wow! some awesome sounds in your drones at the end OO
that preset morphing stuff is amazing!
I have Hertz and Kermit mk3 on the way, but surely I gotta have this one too! Thanks for the videos, this really inspired me to just start simple and get out of the most of the module.
Damn. Gracias por el video hermano!
Piston honda mk3 is my absolute favorite wavetable+ module ever.
I even sold my Pro 3 synth to get back to it.
damn :D
Awesome that you are diving in to the Piston Honda and while I'm only 2 minutes in, I needed to point out there's no link for the cheat sheet!
Quantum Space oops! Coming right up!
Drone performance was beautiful
cool instrument - and great anecdotes. 😆 cheers! ...🐜
Lovely work. I sold my PH mk3 as I largely exited Eurorack. However, I still have a case with several modules. I am really missing my PH right now, might re-add it since I have space. Thanks!
thanks mucho, I gasing on this (wondeful) sound generator, and your video is qite influential
Very nice. Now I have to buy it ;-)
Very good Explanation of the PH and Drone Jam :-) Mine should arrive this week. Replacing my E352. I like that the PH is Dual and I like the Grit :-)
Any feedback experience 2 years later ? Still owning it and not missing e352 ? Thank you
Love IME/Harvestman modules! Kermit MK3 is a power house module as well. Pair that with Quadrax and the expander and you have hours of self generative patches! Same for Bionic Lester the filter on steroids. I am looking at getting the PH MK3 and Hertz Donut MK3. Waiting for Double Andore MK3 one day.
The Stillson Hammer is my favorite sequencer hands down. I've contemplated getting a second one
So I’ve heard that this module is and does a lot of things that are..super cool..haha! Love your channel, I just got a soldering kit mostly because of you. I’m not sure what kit to get first, I want something really useful but being my 1st job not something that won’t be a horrifying nightmare to put together. If you or anybody has a good idea for me hit me. This Piston Honda is killing me, oh dear god the price! Ok, thanks again, I’ve learned so much from your channel and yer Black Sequencer Manual episode was on repeat for a few days while I was wrapping my head around it, you are super cool, please keep it up, NAI (btw, the ex-girlfriend crack made me laugh out loud)
i hear some sounds like the super 6 towards the end .. really nice .. on my list along with many other things you have sold me.. lol thanks ,
Ha ha! As soon as you started jamming it at around 26 min. I instantly knew how they named it!!! Niiiiiiice!
I’m waiting for the piston Honda 750. Has like four pistons... and that must now mean oscillators? And... of course... Piston Honda is my new band name... I’ll just add a number at the end.
Like being on the bike in a tunnel on acid rain. While not a big drone fan... that’s what bikes do...
Cheers my friend... and I hope you are doing great!

Synth Diy Guy Well... wherever you go... there you are.
MAN that thing sounds good! Great demo and wonderful performance at the end Quincas. I have a sinking feeling I should have bought this instead of my Graphic VCO 😔
There's no instead, only as well as ! lol
to much reverb makes it sound soupy
I have the e352 and this keeps coming back to my radar. I was disappointed to learn that the e352 doesn't do actual 3 dimensional wavetable morphing. not sure if this does but idk throwaway comment i guess. great video style. I am impressed at your microphone tone. I do tutorial videos as well and will ramp up once I move into my music studio, but was concerned about my tone.
I actually record my videos in full and the overdub all my voice stuff with a condenser mic as I didn't believe a lapel or headset would give me adequate quality without post production. And it's hard not to use fancy mics when you have them... but this let me know rocking a headset like brittany would be more than fine for doing tutorials. like seriously excellent voice quality on this. It's always HILARIOUS to me how even some serious professional musician types release youtube videos with bad audio. It's like... don't you do audio for a living? lol
Sam Seder of Majority Report has a huge studio mic in front of his face, yet always sounds like he's in the next room, in a box full of pillows.
Stefan Milo gets better audio than Sam by using a cheap broken clip-on mic taped to a plastic spoon (!)
would love one of these walkthroughs for the Hertz Donut too!
workin' on it!
@@QuincasMoreira ah nice!!
Thank you so much - an amazing review! Also amazing your video quality! Which camera / lens are you using? Any tips are highly appreciated. Thanks!
Impressive piece of gear
Ace review! I do prefer the original Harvestman name and do wish that Scott had kept that name as I like it way better. Love their stuff- just ordered a Hertz Donut for fm and want this one.
Yes I've been thinking the same
Why did he change the name?
@@mikegeary8056lawsuit
Man this review is 😳🤯. I need this module!!! I think is the most beautiful drones i ever heard !
Questions:
- Why the fm knobs are différent on each Channel 🤔 A and B should be mirror no?
- Is it possible to CV control the Octave changes? The one you do by holding black knob + select.
- Can we store more than 8 presets?
- i heard that external mode can be use to process external audio too. It is true?
Thanks in advance 😉
Thanks :)
So, to change octaves via CV you can simply send 1v steps to the CV input with the attenuverter all the way open, or use the octave transpose function in a sequencer or controller.
And yes, I also wish the bottom FM knob was a pretty orange, but I think it would be a little cramped, the sections don't have identical layouts.
And yes, beautiful drones for days!
Damn I need some patch cables like those
Tendrils!

Can you help me with what else is hooked up to the right and left? are these components needed to produce what you're doing? i see it says the piston honda by itself but I was hoping for clarification. thanks for the insight
Hi! Depends on which part of the video, but generally speaking the sound is all from the PH, but it goes through the Monsoon for a bit of reverb. And I do use modulation signals from the Kermit sometimes. But yes, the PH is the only sound source
Bin hanging for a brenso, but this has thrown me a curve ball.
Don't worry. You can't actually buy one of these anyway.
Dave K there is one on Aussie Wigglers for sale right now. But u gotta be an aussie.
what cables are those?
I see they made a new knob for the fm/ ext in or do u replace it?
This was how it came to me from IME!
They make cars, motorcycles, even airplane. Then this.
I went with Hertz Donut MK2 since Kermit MK3 is a wave shaper and more. No regrets- super awesome oscillators that have unique sound compared to other oscillators. Piston Honda MK3 would be great to add to my setup one day.
🙏
I also don't get why they ditched the harvestmen moniker, it is so bad ass...
I agree!

How r u powering those 4 modules in that little case
Hi Marcel! This: modularaddict.com/module-type/power/frogleg-synthesis-beetle-power-supply-pcb
Other than intellijel shapeshifter is this the only dual wave table oscillator?
not at all! Check out Dust of Time, a dual stereo VCO with many synthesis methods, assignable to either side, including the Orgone accumulator WT settings and more
does the mkiii not have an LFO mode?
is there any way to get it to not self oscillate/drone? ;/ i want to use it with a midi keyboard
Yes of course! As with any oscillator, you need to feed it to a VCA in order to get silences. In this case a dual VCA since it's two oscillators. You also need an Envelope generator to control the VCAs and a Midi to CV converter to use it with MIDI. Remember, this is a module, it belongs in a modular system, unless you just want to make drones manually ;)
@@QuincasMoreira thx u!
So, the A and B Outputs correspond to the Ext FM Wave input and whatever morphing it does to that input, and it's two main, not the mix output, the other ones, carry both the sample wave's characteristics and the thru zero inputs from both channels?
Anyone use this iteration of this in a stereo Eurorack Signal path?
Curious what you all do with ordering your modules in non mono output paths cause I got an Intellijel with Stereo Outs and other potential.
I just merely wanna know how 'Mix' Is different from the Left and Right channels.
It seems like a bitcrusher or additive-ey VCA/folder/etc
I just wonder how it works in stereo paths cause oh my goodness.
Actually PH is a dual oscillator, so each has an output (A and B). The mixed output is just that, a mix of both outputs. If you like patching in stereo you can patch A to L and B to R, I do that a lot :)
I want to start Eurorack modular is it ok to start with this module? I already own a neutron beringher, beatstep pro, what else do I need to make it work and have fun?
Yes! this is a good one to play with, sounds good all by itself. Eventually a dual VCA and dual Envelope will help you use it as two voices in more rhythmic types of music. By itself it's a lovely drone machine. Have fun!
Maths
Is XYZ, X=Wave, Y=Bank, Z=Rom (which is the same as PH Mk2)?
excellent video as always.. professor may I ask what reverb module you are using with the PH MK3 for your live proformance at the end..?
thank you in advance..
looks like a clouds clone
@@ignasiusiu ..yes.. it's must be monsoon.. I didn't know at the time.. thank you brother..
@@normdurkin6425 ah i see, np :)
@@ignasiusiu ..I played with a After Later Audio Monsoon a couple weeks ago and it looks similar.. thank you for your help I appreciate it brother..
@@normdurkin6425 ah yes, you're not the same person you once were, you've gained some new knowledge since you left that comment 6 months ago. understandable, I was interacting with your echo.
38:30 - THX wants to know your location
LOL
I am a total noob to hardware synths. Wondering if this could. (somewhat) be created in Drambo…😳😅
26:06
the jam!
Hello Quincas, did u purchase it in Mexico? If not, where and what was approximate cost in mxn?
I got it directly from the maker in the US!
Sold mine a year or two ago and I regret it :(
Modular Porn... :D This is the perfect OSC for LIVE! "Shut up, and take my money!"
"Sounds like a rating system for ex-girlfriends" 🤣
man. best in-video comment ever ... almost as good as the whole video review ;D
Looks great. I want one, but it is out of stock for about a year now and it can’t be found anywhere. I wrote to IME without any reply. We don’t have any detail, any roadmap from them. Every store I went don’t have any idea too. Communication doesn’t seems to be their force. I’m beginning to think they don’t give a damn about their customers. On their site, the last News is from October 1st and just give some video links, but no mention of when - IF - there will be a new batch. Maybe they just going to release a MKIV… in a few years??
Really loved that performance at the end.
