Maths 203 - Slew Limiting and six patches that use it
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- Make Noise Maths is one of the most common - but also least understood - modules in the Eurorack world, and now that Behringer has release Abacus, there are even more people using it. In the third video in this series, I'm going to explain what Slew Limiting is, how Maths/Abacus implements it, and then I'm going to give some cool examples of how to use it.
0:00:00 - Introduction
0:00:53 - What is Slew Limiting
0:05:11 - Portamento (again)
0:06:48 - Clock to LFO
0:07:31 - Harmonic Munging
0:12:24 - Voltage Follower/Sidechaining
0:13:30 - Ducking
0:14:57 - Signal Detection
As always, the diagrams I use in the video are available online at bit.ly/maths203

The highest quality teaching material for Maths that I have seen. I have watched all the series and I congratulate you for the excellent work. Hope to see more of it!
Wow, thanks so much for saying that. There is more coming, including a video about Nonlinearcircuits Triple Sloths coming up next, another Maths video, and some stuff about the Monome Teletype!
The Make Noise panels are cryptic, great to see some straightforward info!
That business with the end of cycle gate and freezing Clouds is a dope idea!
Simply the best channel on UA-cam regarding clear explanation of topics in the modular world.
To have the Both input decreasing rise and fall times make sense when use it as a voltage controlled LFO and thus makes the CV inputs more versatile.
Regarding the somewhat unclear labeling on Make Noise modules. It's by purpose that way to have the users experiment more and patch by intuition.
"Both" works in reverse and exponentially so that it is like pitch on an oscillator: higher voltage is higher pitch. I believe the Serge module Make Noise used as inspiration even uses 1v/oct there (or a way to do that) so that it can be used as a typical oscillator. I've seen people tuning Maths and adjusting tracking using the Log/Lin knob, then using that to play pitches (though only accurate over a short range).
also if you patch voltage lets say from channel 2 into both of channel one, you get precise control over LFO speed, higher voltage means faster LFO. Its much more precise than controlling speed of LFO with rise and fall.
These videos are sensational
Thanks! I really need to get to work on 204...
The unity symbols i think is more like a full voltage or bipolar!!! still super useful video!!!
Thank U!!! Very helpful 👍
What an awesome explanation and patch tips on slew limiting! Thank you.
you're an articulate teacher! There were modules I thought I still wanted to get, but MATHs does it. Thank-you for pointing these simple eurorack functions out. I agree with some here, the panels should be simply straight ahead, no floofyness. I will be studying your other Maths vids.
I'm really glad it was helpful!
Love this!
These are great. Thank you for sharing. Just got a Maths module and it's melting my brain
Glad it could help! Let me know if I left anything under-explained. :)
thanks for sharing this. your videos are teaching so much! …some of the best for learning this kind of stuff. please continue…
Great video but the audio is only on the left channel
Crap. Dang it, thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure what I did differently this time...
I've had it happen before with mono voice over before where the layer setting was set to stereo
hmm i kind of like it this way
Great video, but yes, audio was somewhat borked. But manageable.
that, and the background pad seems to be in another key than some of the examples :) great info though!
Thanks for helping me get deeper into Maths. These ideas will be very helpful.
Hi! mcpm. Your content is serious pro stuff. Thank you!!!! Please more of that.
Greetings from germany :)
WOW! this was sooooo helpful. Subscribed!! Thank you -
I really appreciate this and will check out your other videos. Thank you :)
your videos are awesome, keep up the great work.
great videos! Subbed
Excellent video
Why both works backwards: to use as an oscillator
Why the integral symbol? An integrator is another name for a slew limiter
Wow I didn't know this. How educating this is. You make me want to go out and buy one now. They're pretty cheap on reverb
I thought you had a Befaco Rampage? It can do all the same things. (But maybe I misremembered)
@@SoundVoltage i had the Befaco Lich at one time. i'm currently using the Ornament & Crime as my go to Utilities Module. With my small Modular setup i have to really plan for space on the bigger modules...lol
Regarding the integral symbol on the unity outputs, the op amps in maths and other electronics have integral outputs on them and that output is the same as the unity out. Integrals are basically the same function as low pass filters or slew limiters.
Great video. I've had this open in a tab for like a month now as reference. Time to nitpick. Can you mix the VO into both channels?
It felt very disconcerting to have it only in my left.
Incredible work. I want more! Do you have a Cold Mac? I need your powers of demystification!
Hey thanks! You know, I do have one of those dense little beasts…
honestly rather use other slew limiters just because of the annoying panels on MN modules, your labelling is so superior it doesn't even make sense why they're so archaic in their approach - I refuse to support this mindset personally.. happy with my Tilt, might add another
16:00 can you also do this with mutable instruments beads?
You should be able to. The Freeze control is the same, and instead of "Position" on Clouds, you'd use "Time" on Beads. I haven't tried it, but there isn't any reason it shouldn't work I don't think.
Great tutorials. Thank you. However, they would have been greater without the ambient drone that's always on in the background. Personally, I find it unbearable after a few minutes, especially with the actual, relevant audio playing on the foreground.
This is why I don't fuck with modular. I'm going to fall asleep. Where's the bleep bloops?
