Cool tutorial! I also built a whole bunch of passive modules with various switching, mult and push button stuff. Easy to make and minimal expense - blank panel (I cut my own from alu plate), switch, jacks, soldering. It'sgood to have some patchbay and routing options, especially to interface 1/4 and 1/8
So many great switch tips, thanks! I love simulating mallet percussion: Seqence Trigger> Rachet trigger> Switch, both input AND CV. 2 outs > 2 AR envs> 2VCA CV ins. sine wave( s) ( can differentiate harmonically by various means)> VCA audio in. Now the Envs won't get cut off as they would with just a single quick trigger path.
Yep combinations of ratcheting and dividing brings another level of rhythm/ clock possibilities. The 2 hp "Div does both. Doepfer A160-5 has a pitch driven option that is really effective!
Yes!! Just played a small live show and had my joranalogue switch 2 on some modulation switch duty and thought to myself that I could do so much more with it. Thanks for the inspiring video!
Steevio uses a sequential switch to constantly change which of four drums is receiving the trigger pattern. This way the drums are never triggered on the same beat, while he's free to mess with complex, unpredictable trigger patterns during the performance. The clock input is not a straight pattern either, and he uses the reset as well I think, but I'm not sure why. I thought for a sec that it would make semi random patterns repeat so that it would become musical, but that only works if all the trigger patterns are also repeating the same way, but he mixes 5 and 7 step patterns for percussion, so that's probably not it.
Switches are great at highlighting the sound design possibilities with Eurorack. Many of them come with reset inputs that will force the switch to go back to the first output. This can be used to create polymeters/polyrhythms in the modulation.
Such great info here! Thank you. The 2hp cv controlled switch (4in 1out) was one of my first modules and have recently been exploring a few different use cases. What great timing👍

Thank you! sounds like fun! Indeed things like mults and switches are manageable DIY projects with a lot of practical use- Enjoy those skills!
Finally remembered to use your link to get an ALM MFD Crossfader. Hope you get a few euros from it.
Hey, thanks a lot! I do, and all those bits help a lot :) Enjoy the module!

Glad you like it! And thanks for sharing patch ideas. I need to get myself a little ratchet device some time soon :) Cheers!

Always amped when Monotrail slaps out some new patch ideas to spark the soul!! Switches are so fun and potent.
Haha, that's good to hear. Hope you get some use out of this one!

Nice! I included the switch between patterns, as well as the divide patterns over multiple drums patches. Both great tricks!
Excellent diagram usage, quick sub.
Glad you like it, and thanks for the sub!

Agree! And true, the sequential switch has that as well, and didn't really highlight it, thanks ;)
Great guide, been interested in the switch technique lately. This video is the right time, Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Cool Video, many thanks. 😃
Thanks for watching!
Another wonderful video, thank you, always so well explained and easy to follow. 🙂
You are so welcome! All the best :)
Outstanding tutorial!
Thank you Martin!
Plz consider doing a video on the Ladik S-210. Thanks!
I hope this video and my video on clock dividers covers the basics!
Great video! Very inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Shouldn't it be 2 octaves down, not 4 for the graphic oscillator patch?
Good catch! should be 1/4 of the frequency, means 2 octaves down.

Great video
Check out Axis 8s videos a few months ago he took switches to a whole different galaxy and back
Mind bending perception of switches
Nice! Thanks for the tip, will check it out for sure :)
First! Also switches rule.
Made it! And true :)
