      While I can't say any of this screams DC to my ears (Maybe we're thinking of different albums/periods. I certainly haven't heard them all as there are so many), I am curious to hear what he'd do with granular synthesis treatments of his own playing.

    Only from a technical perspective... What are the main differences between Arbhar and Morphagene? Seem extremely similar from first glance.

    • @Syncopator
      @Syncopator 5 років тому +1

      I get the sense that Arbhar is a bit easier to do real-time processing-- feed an input into the Onset and it'll trigger capture automatically. That's a huge feature IMHO...

    • @Jimbo386000
      @Jimbo386000 5 років тому +1

      I watched a video where the guy commented below that he views Arbhar more as a live effect and Morphagene more as a pre-preparable instrument. You have the card slot on the front of Morphagene where as you have it on the back of Arbhar.

    • @xin_music
      @xin_music 5 років тому

      @@Jimbo386000 wowzah... card on the back is a very intentional design statement. "Don't copy from a computer" or "Only record the input" --- which is a cool statement to make. Wondering what other technical differences in the way the grains are manipulated? Obviously I need to do some reading, but nice to hear from the informed. What else?

    • @Jimbo386000
      @Jimbo386000 5 років тому +1

      Xin Only other thing I’ve noticed is that Arbhar seems more visual and intuitive, but Morphagene seems more melodically oriented.
      EDIT: I don’t own either, this is just what I’ve noticed from research.

      @@joshk2181 I found Morphagene to be reasonably good at finding random happy accidents, but when I had something specific I wanted to do or a specific adjustment to one of those happy accidents I wanted to make, I didn't really find it made things convenient for that. And I ended up using the Morphagene's stereo inputs simply as a means of mixing in an extra stereo signal rather than doing any processing of live inputs.

  • @ethermod307
    @ethermod307 5 років тому +8

    It seems to me that there's a misunderstanding here. Lubadh is the Morphagene of Instruo and Arbhar is the Clouds of Instruo. If i would start now with my modular adventure i would probably start with Instruo's awesome modules but now that I already have both Morphagene and Clouds, I don't think I'll switch.

    • @elinch
      @elinch 4 роки тому +3

      in my opinion, lubadh ist a dual looper and not a morphagene. arbhar is a granular modul like clouds. clouds and morphagene can also be used as a looper.

    • @elinch
      @elinch 4 роки тому

      I agree with you. Arbhar also has a reverb, access is only a little complicated. I hope that Instruo releases a new firmware, which brings a more intelligent storage option on the internal USB card:-)

    Does the fact that it has a preamp mean that I can feed line level audio into it without having to run the audio through a dedicated interface?

    • @roboslobonator
      @roboslobonator 5 років тому

      He used an instrument interface from befaco to get his guitar at euro level on the input of arbhar. I dont recall this module having a preamp except the built in microphone on the front panel. I highly recommend an instrument interface module because otherwise you have to crank up the gain and your noise floor can get really loud and your headroom is butchered.

      @@rabidboards Ask Jason! His email should be on the contact page of the instruo website. I took a look at the specs listed on the website. Sorry, I should have looked at that before my last comment. You may be okay to plug in line or instrument level straight into the module with a 1/4" to 3.5mm mono cable supposing theres enough gain on the input. If not, youll have to supply another source of gain such as with an interface module or some other means. But I think you may be right, good catch.

    • @Syncopator
      @Syncopator 5 років тому +1

      Wondering the same thing. I already swapped my Morphagene out for the Nebulae V2. And I've an Arbhar in the pipe. But I'm thinking I'll keep both-- the Nebulae is awesome for time stretch, and it's ability to handle CSound programs and USB storage makes it incredibly flexible for all sorts of things. Real-time or semi-real-time granular is a big interest area of mine so the Arbhar was a no-brainer, at least until I get some serious experience with it. The real question is, do I swap out my Mantis for a Behringer Go to make room for them both?

      @@Syncopator yeah the Nubulae is ace at timestretching! The ability to alter both speed and pitch independently is just awesome and not a feature of any other module as far as I know? Saying that, the granular section is nice, but not as interesting as Arbhar or Monsoon in my case (but the two together is fantastic!). The live use if Nebulae is good, but not as intuitive as Arbhar... Hmmm decisions decisions!
