so cannot wait for my collide 4 to arrive! I was lucky to be in Bristol for its reveal but unfortunately missed the first batch... it seems like the perfect module for digging into the micro sounds that I used to find when I was younger scanning thru the channels with my dads old shortwave radio. like discovering alien communications! great video as always!
This is the kind of video that I want to point people to when people gripe about using hardware instead of software. I use plenty of software myself and you just won’t find anything like this there.
Thank you, sir .. this display of dozens to hundreds of different results, is useful to observe. I'm still learning my audio and modular terms .. But, even at the beginning of my modular quest, it seems like one of the major tasks in this the craft, is sifting through the "results" and combining them, (counterpoint, perhaps?) and often assigning rhythms to them.
It is going to take time & experimentation. I would start with trying to use it as a lock-in amplifier of radiation noise from the SOMA Ether. We all love Hainbach's music, but it comes from decades of practice. Reminds me of my work of taking (blue spectrum) astrophotography of the comet 9P-Temple 1's ion tail; for the mission planning of NASA's Deep Impact probe. That took taking hundreds of 30 second images through a (blue) filter on a F/2 telescope. Then having software align all of the images so the ion tail would raise above the background noise floor. My hardest scientific work, but I wouldn't call it artistic.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh Schlappi 3 Body. I stopped buying modules a few years ago .. got way more than I can use or dig deep into .. nor time for it .. but that and that ohmacide are on a very short list .. maybe this C4 too
Based on what I've seen so far, you haven't gotten too much past the surface of the module, let alone the depths. This is a signal processor, so there are also the sub-audio signals for modulation. Yes, this module is pricey, but it does so much.
@@ChainsawCoffee I need to figure out a few things first. Like the input is AC but a lock-in amp expects a DC conversion of the source. Why doesn't it do that. And where does the reference signal go? Why the ring mods. How do you multiply it with the source and when do you call it a success? It's supposed to kill the noise too. So many questions. But most important, it's a eurorack module to make music and in the end it's just a filter, a frequency shifter and a sinewave VCO... I am definitely missing half of my drink.
@@CinematicLaboratory Unfortunately I can't send you any of my home-roasted coffee to fill your glass (regulations, and it's 100% Hawaiian right now), and my Collide 4 is still on order. I only have the manual. Also, I think you may not be familiar with using electronic test equipment, so the manual may be confusing and enlightenment may require a burnt offering. I recommend Greek kabob and Turkish coffee. For noise, it looks like two ways. With a balanced line, the signal is 180deg out of phase, and the noise is in phase, on two wires. If you have that, just plug it into the pre-amp inputs. Otherwise the removal is just running the signal through a low-pass filter. The other way is the lock-in amp, but that's not for producing an audio signal. The lock-in amp _produces_ a DC value from the input signal, after removing the high-frequency noise. Good for modulation. For the ring modulators, you may be able to directly patch a signal into "Monitor" and then get the result on X' and Y'. Should sound similar to other ring modulators. I have (ahem) a few. A ring modulator has two inputs, signal and carrier (reference). The "reference" is the built-in VCO. The reference just goes into the modulators.
I use my springray2 as a piece of a vc3 architecture built with the ffs recombinant engine the center offset . 0.32vpo lots of weird headroom for the ring and modulation and feedback
@@CinematicLaboratory I use a manhattan modular Steiner Parker to enhance it before it heads into the Lyra module for delay and paralleled by the springray2 and I use the zadar to create an operant trapezoid and keep it all feeding through the cobalt smelter with vcas and ring mod into the sky or chthonic depths …. However I would love the feedback circuit on this to help it into ultra and sub sonic territories.. …. It would be an interesting trick to thicken the ems element this is one of many synth architectures I’ve constructed in my eurorack set up it even has the outs and ins
To be continued :)
I like this one a lot, perhaps most of any video you’ve released to date. Thank you.

Got my first spin with it tonight, place it between a complex vco and a 16 band spectral resonator. Brilliant stuff 🥰 looking forward to ep.3

So do I want one ?

My glass is half full :)
@@CinematicLaboratory So for your glass to be full, you need two more videos on this module, right? ;)

@@corticallarvae I think the Collide 4 will fit right into your box of tricks. Serge euro gear would also be appealing to you. So much power.

Is your name written in the lambs book of life??
No, but the Universe loves me.
Really want to see harsh noise, dark drone and feedback textures from this thing. Please showcase these sounds in a future video.
I'll do my best but it's outside my comfort zone.
After I get one, such sounds will be my aim.
I want one
