After Later Audio's Rainier and Baker - Peaks Reimagined

In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow shares his thoughts on the new Rainier and Baker, a Peaks variation originally created by Mutable Instruments. After Later Audio has reimagined Peaks by offering 2 formats in less HP along with new CV inputs and attenuverters for the multifunction modules various parameters.
Rainier and Baker add CV inputs and attenuverters for each of the four parameters and adds attenuverters for each of the outputs.
Rainier and Baker can be an ADSR-style envelope generator, an LFO and a drum emulator. By default we will load the Dead Man’s Catch (DMC) firmware which adds the Alt ENV, ALT LFO, ALT Tap, Alt Drum modes below.
Additional Dead Man’s Catch firmware modes:
Basic (original modes)
Envelope
LFO
Tap LFO
Bass/Snare Drums
Alternative ENV
Double attack envelope
Repeating attack envelope
Looping envelope
Randomized AD envelope
Bouncing ball envelope
Alternative LFO
Frequency-modulated LFO (folded sine FM)
Frequency-modulated LFO (random FM)
Varying wave shape LFO ( folded sine WS mod)
Varying wave shape LFO ( random WS mod)
Phase-locked loop oscillator
Alternative TAP Mini-sequencer
ModSequencer
Pulse Shaper
Pulse Randomizer
Turing Machine
Bytebeats
Alternative DRUM
FM drum Generators
Randomized bass and snare drum generators
Randomized high hat

Named after two mountains in Washington, neat!

I live on Mt. Rainier, it’s gorgeous

[@ryanabrams77]

I was one of the first people to have the original Peaks and it is one of the only modules I own that I would never consider selling. 7-8 years later it's still in every other patch.

Hi Nick, great video! I am always watching with big interest when I see a new video by Patchwerks pop up in my feed :)

[@nlego5153]

I use 2 peaks. 1 in my main system and the other in my drum palette 62. Also a favourite of mine. FM drums, hats, LFOs and bytebeats are my favs. Classic design, no frills and great drum sounds.

System Peaks, Nick

[@fo76]

Crazy! If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it... Might also be nice to throw a MI Branches into the setup... Have you tried other sequencers with the setup? Steppy? Euclidean Circles? Voltage Block?

[@MattMcArdell]

How is the CV applied in Expert mode? Does the CV affect both envelopes or LFOs? Or perhaps just the first? Thanks.

[@dalecutlemusic586]

I have no modular gear. Would this be an awesome addition to my dfam?

[@mathiasnielsen5882]

Oh yes - especially with the deadman’s catch (DMC) firmware, which gives you all kinds of different drum sounds and crazy envelopes/LFOs

[@mathiasnielsen5882]

Fx I’ve had great success with the double attack envelope in the DMC firmware, using it to make clap sounds by modulating the noise level input!

[@logarhythmic6859]

If you haven't gotten into modular yet, just be aware that you'll at least need a power supply and somewhere to mount the module.

Is there a manual for the Rainer?
