is there any way to recreate those two sequencers adding themselves together in vcvrack? Would love to try it first before buying all the necessary modules :)
Yesterday I told my wife that I could easily buy $1500 worth of Eurorack sequencers and still just barely feel ok about my sequencing setup. Then I watched this video. Some AWESOME ideas about improvised sequencing with logic modules. THANK YOU!
You're killing me man... you've had me drooling over the Metropolis and Trigger Riot for almost a year now and with tax return season just on the horizon you throw out this sick sounding madness and neither of those are even in the rack from what I can see.
Really enjoying the "system" videos instead of module reviews. I think that module videos are great, but there's not enough information for people trying to build a full machine. Seeing how each module can be used in the wider context of the system, which can be then used to make music is very refreshing!
And more expensive I'm sure. I guess you're mainly working with set up at the moment, but I'd really enjoy seeing patch breakdowns for more patches you come up with. It's great to see other ideas people have and adapting them for my own system. Hope the gig went well!
First of all, congratulations on your marriage. Second, I'm so glad you made this video. I have watched Steevio's video on how he his rack is hooked up. Great to see this method broken down as I want to perform Deep House using my rack. A few tweaks in the setup will enable me to do that based on what you have demonstrated.
Man, this setup sounds SUPER musical. Really great. Gah... I can see myself finally submitting to modular in the next year, and it'll mostly be your fault.
Super fun a usual. Love the sequencer combining with the different pattern lengths. The Steevio Primes vid is great, and this is nice exploration in to those techniques as well. Thanks so much for sharing.
I’m pretty new to Eurorack and I understood about 1% of this, but it was very inspirational. Many thanks for all the info to investigate. I’ll be pursuing it.
Brilliant thank you for this really useful. Really helped with my own struggles and ongoing thinking about modular. I think there’s something in finding your voice in music generally and then finding the right voices with eurorack 😎
Congrats! And thanks, I always appreciate your explanations of your thought process rather than just the technical explanation. Sounds wicked. Good luck with the set if you haven't already played.
could you do a video mini series, discussing your favorite VCOs, VCF and Mod modules - the reason is that most videos on UA-cam are pretty standard, but I like your opinions about e.g. WASP filter or Akamie's etc. I bet you will have some interesting viewpoints on those typical module categories :)
Makes me wonder if I could take my own system on the road... Still a bit to do yet, in terms of modules, and we (I share a system with my son) are currently expanding our current Doepfer LC9 with a new Doepfer LCB case, which the LC9 will sit on. Also so much to learn and then practice!
I absolutely love this. I'm not really involved in this kind of music, but the way you shares your experiences is very very inspiring. Thank you so much.
So, I have been watching all your modular related content for about two years now. I think I understand your take on modular techno performance. Improvisation through random orchestration. Well thought strategies but with no predictable result. I am more of a structural dude but I like your thought process. The thing is that your approach seems to imply to have a large system, at least not that portable. Do you think that with the new tech around sequencers and modules could help you reduce your live modular? It would be a great idea for a new series on educating us mortals. Thanks for being my eurorack sensei. Wish you the best, man.
This process looks really fun, and your modular choices for sound generation make it all really musical so far. That Jove sounds great, I thought it was the same as the Polaris which i have but now I'm sure it's not.
I find your videos incredibly fun and educating and I don't use these two words in the same sentence a lot! Can we expect an updated explanation of your drumming workflow?
amazing video. Relatively new to modular and taking a lot out of your video. Plus your reactions to some of the sounds are hilarious. had me laughing. nice work
Congratulations on the marriage, and that taiko eh! The sound makers in this case are dangerous as hell, I mean I could just endlessly listen to those TR drums, that beautiful squeak of the jove filter, and the taiko...
ok one more dumb question on this fantastic video. At around 11:18 it looks like you switch on the 4/4 kick drum. i was under the impression that module was the A-182 you are using to combine the gates you're sending to the two Maths voices ... how did you switch on that kick?
If anyone can elaborate for me I had just one question. How does one decide which module goes where? I'm fairly interested in Eurorack and very ignorant of many aspects of it, but after watching this for 8:40 minutes I can't help but wonder why the sequencers aren't organized in to one row where one can just easily mosey along them and create more concisely. Is it more-so personal preference I am guessing? Obviously you know where everything is at so it's not an issue. Maybe this is a silly question....
Excellent video. Couldn't agree more about separating the gates from notes in sequences. Endless jamming possibilities. I use euclidean circles for gates like this, 3 channels of gates and easy to see and change in the moment.
mylarmelodies not gigged the circles yet but it’s the first thing people notice in the rack, who doesn’t love leds circles? Only annoying thing is the encoder can be clicked easily when turning and that changes the mode. Love it though, big display of tempo and triggers is very helpful in the dark.
Looks like a Basimilus iteritas alter in there too... Must be fun to mash up the BIA with the Taiko!! oh yeah! I like the explanations about the setup.. I could imagine a Omsonic Pixel Dust in there too..
Nicely done mate, and congratulations!! If you haven't already read up on Euclidian patterns for those trigger sequencers, definitely give them a good browsing.
Halfway down pg 4 of this PDF shows a list of the most common cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~godfried/publications/banff.pdf I recently fell down the rabbit hole of the Monome Teletype and it has a very handy Euclidian Rhythm operator. samdoshi.com/post/2016/03/teletype-euclidean/
Hi, Thanks for all the great uploads you have done. I really dig your style when it comes to playing live and I adapt sevral techniques you discribed in my own workflow. I saw that you are using a Mackie mixer in this video. could you plug in directly from your eurorack into the mixer or did you used some eurorack to line level converters? thanks in advance Jazzy
Thanks for the video. I've always been using the ER-101 fo my live performances, but that Ladik system you have is really nice! QQ: I noticed that in the S-180+183, when a step is muted, the CV value changes the note anyway. Is it possible to skip the CV values for the steps turned off in the S-180?
Precision adder / multiple changing sequences on the fly: so basically the Stillson Hammer mk2 does all these things, has 4 separate outs and cv over every parameter of every sequence that can be simultaneously changed on the fly--apparently I arrived at the same conclusions as Steevio because that's how I do everything--infinite sequences that all keep sounding good as you can make each whatever scale and mode you want. I also use the cv follow/sync on my AQA electrix VCO to essentially put in 2 separate sequences into it that shift back and forth aka complex oscillator with better tracking and more control.
Thanks again for this great run through! It's rare that modular videos are both entertaining and informative, and you've nailed both! One more question - Can you explain more in depth how the CV is routed into the Adders and then into the voices? I think I'm missing something. Also, why use 2 separate adders? Just so that you can have different "summing" options for each of your two voices? I'm assuming both adders are being fed with identical CV sources.
Yeah, the space is a big consideration, and Atlantis is quite wide even though it packs a bunch... You don't record the sequences at all, right? I mean you tend to improvise from scratch each time? I saw you commented on the video of Caterina Barbieri who starts with simple sequenced lines and builds on from there. I wonder what you think of that?
Mylar, thank you so much for these videos! Your video and sound production is top notch. That box lamp and LED Lamp are excellent light sources for showing the eurorack details, I cant seem to find a similar lamp. did you build the box one yourself?
@mylarmelodies Thanks for the mention, much appreciated & loving Steevio's technique too! Since you made the video I've said farewell to VCOADSR and now working under the alias 'ebcidic' - consequently the link to my set you mention has changed to soundcloud.com/ebcidic/vcoadsr-live-at-yuma-komedia-brighton-2017 - enjoy!
Great video! I find it very inspiring to follow the progress with your live set up.. 2 questions - What quantizer are you using after the precision adders? Is it just 1 quantizer that receives the added CVs and quantizes them and then sends the same 1v/oct to both of your VCOs? Also, I see the Turing Machine patched up but you didn't mention it in the vid. How are you using the Turing? Good luck with your gig!
Josh Story Ta - sorry yes there’s quite a bit I don’t cover but just wanted to focus on the core concept first (I’m probably going to change quite a lot quite soon!!) - in this I’m trying the Ornament and Crime as a quantiser, and the precision-added outputs of the sequencers are feeding into it, all getting quantised to the same scale, and then going to the voices. The turing machine is currently just Jumbling the rhythm selection of the Noise Engineering Zularic Repetitor in the top case!
hey mate, have been wondering where you found those switched multiple make noise faceplates? it looks like the design from the pressure points. need those switches! love the contrast between those and the nobots. ACE
Awesome video, man, thank you! Do you ever use a cue mix to listen to parts before the crowd does, like a DJ? I don't know if that's common, or if such a eurorack module exists that allows that kind of thing. It seems like it might be useful. I love these videos :) edit: quick google search. It looks like the "WMD Performance Mixer" and the "Toppobrillo Stereomix" have that functionality. I have never heard of Toppobrillo before. Further edit: That WMD Performance Mixer looks extremely badass! 😄
Elsif I’ve thought about it but no, no cueing possible - I don’t think that approach is the best way to think about it really - you sort of need to design it so that any change will always be musical to some degree, and especially that you can’t ever play a bum note!
I'm really enjoying your videos, really clear, really interesting! OK, an obvious question: do you actually modify your patches much (live even?) or do you develop a system over weeks or months and then gig with it? I suspect the latter as all those cables are nicely velcro'd together. I regularly lose patience with my setup and tear all the patch cables out, but sense this is not really a good idea.
Yeah, rip it up, then rebuild and then learn it as is - striving to the ‘perfect’ setup - where perfect means you can improvise forever and it doesn’t get (too) boring
Neko Neko Beats Yeah it’s an old 90’s one, the CR1202, which I got as it was cheap and it’s also the model Daft Punk did their Homework tour with in 97, because I’m a douche like that :3
One thing I'm still struggling with is having (yet) more melodic patterns, phrasings and improvisation in a way that's recallable, but also dynamic. The best I've figured out so far is to use Ableton to output with my ES-3 CV/gate for a few things, but then manipulate those at will. Just because it outputs a clock on 1/8th notes doesn't mean I can't multiply/divide/skip and rearrange it on the modular level. But this workflow isn't as smooth as an all-modular one. Also, trying to get "big changes" to switch between and have buildups/transitions is really difficult. I can easily make the 20 minute building/noise track, but doing something that sounds more like something people want to dance to is much harder.
Wow that's truely amazing! I tried to figure out how you route the precision adder and CV ouptut of ladik but I still don't understand why there's 2 adders since you only have 2 cv to add together. Any chance you can detail a few steps about that ? Cheers mate & congratz for the wedding !
modraw I’m copying the outputs from each sequencer to each precision adder so that I can have one on one and one on the other, or combine/add/subtract each differently, and one Precision added controls one channel, and the other controls the other
Very interesting following your journey with the live setup. Nice idea on mixing the seqs with the adder. What are the sequencer modules you have here?
Excellent ! and thanks for the kind words mate... Steevio
grooves fo daze
is there any way to recreate those two sequencers adding themselves together in vcvrack? Would love to try it first before buying all the necessary modules :)
Yup. I've tried it. Just wire it up!
I think this would make an awesome video, since everyone could try out this concept themselves!
Hey, Congratulations on your marriage! That's awesome. I wish you both many, many years of happiness.
Yesterday I told my wife that I could easily buy $1500 worth of Eurorack sequencers and still just barely feel ok about my sequencing setup. Then I watched this video. Some AWESOME ideas about improvised sequencing with logic modules. THANK YOU!
You're killing me man... you've had me drooling over the Metropolis and Trigger Riot for almost a year now and with tax return season just on the horizon you throw out this sick sounding madness and neither of those are even in the rack from what I can see.
You made Steevio's concept easier to get my mind around and it seems to have that Mylar sound to it nevertheless. Excellent.
Nice to see Steevio getting props, and your setup is a corker!
ben1210 Steevio is life
Really enjoying the "system" videos instead of module reviews. I think that module videos are great, but there's not enough information for people trying to build a full machine. Seeing how each module can be used in the wider context of the system, which can be then used to make music is very refreshing!
Olly Seber well said. And these are not module specific remarks, so it applies to pretty much any module performing the same function
Thanks - they're actually a lot easier to do, although the research involved is more time consuming!! :)
And more expensive I'm sure. I guess you're mainly working with set up at the moment, but I'd really enjoy seeing patch breakdowns for more patches you come up with. It's great to see other ideas people have and adapting them for my own system. Hope the gig went well!
this is what makes the eloquencer so useful as it can save melody lines
I've probably watched this ten times, and I pick up something new every time.
First of all, congratulations on your marriage. Second, I'm so glad you made this video. I have watched Steevio's video on how he his rack is hooked up. Great to see this method broken down as I want to perform Deep House using my rack. A few tweaks in the setup will enable me to do that based on what you have demonstrated.
Your closing statement is advice gold!
Thank you for your great videos, I can listen to you talking about modules for hours ;) !
Congrats on getting married! And awesome stuff on the modular, as always. Thank you!
Man, this setup sounds SUPER musical. Really great. Gah... I can see myself finally submitting to modular in the next year, and it'll mostly be your fault.
Oscillator Sink He gets that all the time... he’s gotta be numb to the guilt, lol! 😆
Great video. The moment the taiko turns from glitches into melodic is awesome
So great! Thanks for this, I could watch these videos for hours!
Super fun a usual. Love the sequencer combining with the different pattern lengths. The Steevio Primes vid is great, and this is nice exploration in to those techniques as well. Thanks so much for sharing.
I’m pretty new to Eurorack and I understood about 1% of this, but it was very inspirational. Many thanks for all the info to investigate. I’ll be pursuing it.
Great vid man, been trying to wrap my head around what steevio does for ages
Great to see some Ladik love!!! That guy needs more exposure!
Brilliant thank you for this really useful. Really helped with my own struggles and ongoing thinking about modular. I think there’s something in finding your voice in music generally and then finding the right voices with eurorack 😎
wow that vcoadsr set at yuma is classy stuff.
congrats on getting hitched man,
great explanation of "the steevio process", it kinda makes sence now.
And we really missed your videos. happy youre back
Steevio would be proud.
Im sold.."make ineffable grooves for days" only ever heard Joyce use ineffable before cheers Mylar
Congratulations! 🍾🎉Wishing many wonderful years ahead together! ❤️
Thanks for another awesome sauce vid, mate! 👍👌
I like this way of thinking about your system.
Congrats! And thanks, I always appreciate your explanations of your thought process rather than just the technical explanation. Sounds wicked. Good luck with the set if you haven't already played.
15:50.....FAAAAAAAARRRRK!!!!! Mind blowing.
could you do a video mini series, discussing your favorite VCOs, VCF and Mod modules - the reason is that most videos on UA-cam are pretty standard, but I like your opinions about e.g. WASP filter or Akamie's etc. I bet you will have some interesting viewpoints on those typical module categories :)
Purely and perfectly complex.
Makes me wonder if I could take my own system on the road... Still a bit to do yet, in terms of modules, and we (I share a system with my son) are currently expanding our current Doepfer LC9 with a new Doepfer LCB case, which the LC9 will sit on. Also so much to learn and then practice!

Mate I can't tell you how inspiring and well done this video is, cheers mate! And merry christmas
Wow! Thanks for the tips. I would love to see how your setup has evolved since this video. Great work!!!

I think Surgeon’s approach is my kind of thing: portable setups ua-cam.com/video/j5TgXYh4UhU/v-deo.html
Thanks for this walk through, also the hand gestures, brilliant
I'll need to study further. love the sound of this. love love love...
Wonderful work sir, and huge congrats on getting hitched 🎊
Very impressive. I've not moved to hardware and probably won't as I love the convenience of my software set up but this makes it all very tempting.
Set it up a similar patch in software!! Should be totally doable in VCV...
amazing, really good one and warm music comes from you mate
Awesome work man, congratulations for the marriage. I may have to get an Akemies Taiko and a Basimilus, they sound great.
This is great. Eager to hear you perform on the 18th of this month.
congrats on both of them nice thingamajigs; love your videos
congrats on getting married, thank you for the insight on your great Eurorack skills/ performance ideas!
This process looks really fun, and your modular choices for sound generation make it all really musical so far. That Jove sounds great, I thought it was the same as the Polaris which i have but now I'm sure it's not.
I wish the best to the new couple!!
Can't imagine a better way to spend your honeymoon than to reimagine your live kit
Very nice progression.
I find your videos incredibly fun and educating and I don't use these two words in the same sentence a lot! Can we expect an updated explanation of your drumming workflow?
great stuff as always man :) all super well explained and inspiring
Yes!!! Thanks for sharing.
This sounds amazing ! Proper electronic dance music. flows nicely and sounds so euphoric 👍🏻
Mult the Pulse out from the TM (maybe with a clock divider between) to some of your percussion (hats?) to give it a little random flavor!
congratulations, friend!
amazing video. Relatively new to modular and taking a lot out of your video. Plus your reactions to some of the sounds are hilarious. had me laughing. nice work
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
17:20 evokes Underworld ... a GOOD THING !
Congrats on your wedding Mylar!
Congratulations on the marriage, and that taiko eh! The sound makers in this case are dangerous as hell, I mean I could just endlessly listen to those TR drums, that beautiful squeak of the jove filter, and the taiko...
Sir, you are awesome.
Good job! Very inspiring for my own workflow!
ok one more dumb question on this fantastic video. At around 11:18 it looks like you switch on the 4/4 kick drum. i was under the impression that module was the A-182 you are using to combine the gates you're sending to the two Maths voices ... how did you switch on that kick?
Congratulations on the nuptials, man!
Also: I should really get a dedicated precision adder.
If anyone can elaborate for me I had just one question.
How does one decide which module goes where? I'm fairly interested in Eurorack and very ignorant of many aspects of it, but after watching this for 8:40 minutes I can't help but wonder why the sequencers aren't organized in to one row where one can just easily mosey along them and create more concisely. Is it more-so personal preference I am guessing? Obviously you know where everything is at so it's not an issue. Maybe this is a silly question....
Excellent video. Couldn't agree more about separating the gates from notes in sequences. Endless jamming possibilities. I use euclidean circles for gates like this, 3 channels of gates and easy to see and change in the moment.
Neko Neko Beats Ta - Literally just got one actually - how is it live, in front of an audience?!
mylarmelodies not gigged the circles yet but it’s the first thing people notice in the rack, who doesn’t love leds circles? Only annoying thing is the encoder can be clicked easily when turning and that changes the mode. Love it though, big display of tempo and triggers is very helpful in the dark.
Hey mylarmelodies,
could one euclidean circles replace your two Ladik S180, Ladik S183 & the Ladik Clockworks?
got those mock 808's creepin around the top rack.
Very educational video, lots to chew on here! Thanks. :)
congrats man (on both things!)
Looks like a Basimilus iteritas alter in there too... Must be fun to mash up the BIA with the Taiko!! oh yeah! I like the explanations about the setup.. I could imagine a Omsonic Pixel Dust in there too..
Nicely done mate, and congratulations!!
If you haven't already read up on Euclidian patterns for those trigger sequencers, definitely give them a good browsing.
Thanks mate. Good shout. Any recommended links? Have nabbed the Euclidean Circles module and planning to make that my riddim boss.

Hi,
Thanks for all the great uploads you have done. I really dig your style when it comes to playing live and I adapt sevral techniques you discribed in my own workflow.
I saw that you are using a Mackie mixer in this video. could you plug in directly from your eurorack into the mixer or did you used some eurorack to line level converters?
thanks in advance
Jazzy
Ta! Surprisingly you can go straight from/to the mixer (old mackie cr1202) without conversion - totally fine
@@mylarmelodies thanks for the fast reply! keep up the good work!
15:40 What button did you push to get a gorgeous melody out of nowhere?
Thanks for the video. I've always been using the ER-101 fo my live performances, but that Ladik system you have is really nice! QQ: I noticed that in the S-180+183, when a step is muted, the CV value changes the note anyway. Is it possible to skip the CV values for the steps turned off in the S-180?
I don’t think the Ladik does this, but if you feed it through a sample and hold generator or a quantiser and gate either with the S180, it’ll do that!
Precision adder / multiple changing sequences on the fly: so basically the Stillson Hammer mk2 does all these things, has 4 separate outs and cv over every parameter of every sequence that can be simultaneously changed on the fly--apparently I arrived at the same conclusions as Steevio because that's how I do everything--infinite sequences that all keep sounding good as you can make each whatever scale and mode you want. I also use the cv follow/sync on my AQA electrix VCO to essentially put in 2 separate sequences into it that shift back and forth aka complex oscillator with better tracking and more control.

Nice work!

waves_of_awesome This might help a bit: www.modulargrid.net/e/patches/view/33924
Great video, now we have to crack the gate decoupling part :)
Doesn't he send the gates to a sequential switch that routes each gate to a different voice?
Benjamin Lau Yep!
is it really that simple? :)
Sounds amazing.
Really enjoying the music from 14:00 onward. Awesome sauce! Q - would you ever consider going back to Atlantis for your live rig? thanks
A million percent. The problem is just space being such a premium in this new system!
Yeah, the space is a big consideration, and Atlantis is quite wide even though it packs a bunch... You don't record the sequences at all, right? I mean you tend to improvise from scratch each time? I saw you commented on the video of Caterina Barbieri who starts with simple sequenced lines and builds on from there. I wonder what you think of that?
Mylar, thank you so much for these videos! Your video and sound production is top notch. That box lamp and LED Lamp are excellent light sources for showing the eurorack details, I cant seem to find a similar lamp. did you build the box one yourself?
Pteropus The box is IKEA, but the LED light is a CN160
Thanks!! Keep up the ace work! You're an inspiration!
@mylarmelodies Thanks for the mention, much appreciated & loving Steevio's technique too! Since you made the video I've said farewell to VCOADSR and now working under the alias 'ebcidic' - consequently the link to my set you mention has changed to soundcloud.com/ebcidic/vcoadsr-live-at-yuma-komedia-brighton-2017 - enjoy!
Thanks for the video - great inspiration here! I’m curious to see the set that ‘... literally bombed” 😂 - could you supply such a link? Best, A
Great video! I find it very inspiring to follow the progress with your live set up..
2 questions -
What quantizer are you using after the precision adders? Is it just 1 quantizer that receives the added CVs and quantizes them and then sends the same 1v/oct to both of your VCOs?
Also, I see the Turing Machine patched up but you didn't mention it in the vid. How are you using the Turing?

Awesome, thanks for the reply... Hope the gig went well for ya!!
hi there, in this patch exemple the gate information for the melody is comming from ladik sequencers or zuaric repetitors?
thanks
You also have another adder to mix/add the both ladiks gate together isn't it?
I wish I had a clue as to how you do this. Very cool.
super nice, thanks!
hey mate, have been wondering where you found those switched multiple make noise faceplates? it looks like the design from the pressure points. need those switches! love the contrast between those and the nobots. ACE
Aaron Mimran hah, I made them! Good use of those faceplates and easy to drill :3
Awesome video, man, thank you! Do you ever use a cue mix to listen to parts before the crowd does, like a DJ? I don't know if that's common, or if such a eurorack module exists that allows that kind of thing. It seems like it might be useful. I love these videos :)

Further edit: That WMD Performance Mixer looks extremely badass! 😄
Elsif make noise Rosie.
MakeNoise Rosie has exactly that function you need - a cue mix while other part of the modular is playing.
Rosie is exactly to the point, and compact as well. 👍
Elsif I’ve thought about it but no, no cueing possible - I don’t think that approach is the best way to think about it really - you sort of need to design it so that any change will always be musical to some degree, and especially that you can’t ever play a bum note!

Yeah, rip it up, then rebuild and then learn it as is - striving to the ‘perfect’ setup - where perfect means you can improvise forever and it doesn’t get (too) boring
Also the mackie, guessing it's a 1202? Been meaning to pick one up for live stuff, looks perfect. PFL for those hmmmm moments.
Neko Neko Beats Yeah it’s an old 90’s one, the CR1202, which I got as it was cheap and it’s also the model Daft Punk did their Homework tour with in 97, because I’m a douche like that :3
mylarmelodies haha no way didn’t know that about daft punk. I liked as PFL, small and aux on top of strip :-) effects and sausage finger friendly!
One thing I'm still struggling with is having (yet) more melodic patterns, phrasings and improvisation in a way that's recallable, but also dynamic. The best I've figured out so far is to use Ableton to output with my ES-3 CV/gate for a few things, but then manipulate those at will.

Also, trying to get "big changes" to switch between and have buildups/transitions is really difficult. I can easily make the 20 minute building/noise track, but doing something that sounds more like something people want to dance to is much harder.

Wow that's truely amazing! I tried to figure out how you route the precision adder and CV ouptut of ladik but I still don't understand why there's 2 adders since you only have 2 cv to add together. Any chance you can detail a few steps about that ? Cheers mate & congratz for the wedding !
modraw I’m copying the outputs from each sequencer to each precision adder so that I can have one on one and one on the other, or combine/add/subtract each differently, and one Precision added controls one channel, and the other controls the other

Very interesting following your journey with the live setup. Nice idea on mixing the seqs with the adder. What are the sequencer modules you have here?
15.45 ... worth the wait :-)
Congrats!
This was so useful👍👍👍
Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas, how did the gig go?
Nice work, you could effectively do the two sequencer thing with a Beatstep Pro and a disting i think! Gonna give it a try!
Dave F Think so yes - or a Korg SQ1
