that's great, thank you! Yeah not the one I'd have put myself down to do, all tied in after playing around up at Instruo HQ. Well fell into an idea afterwards but I can pretend it was the plan all along :)
Great stuff as always. Love seeing you at the kit! I do run my percussion, or bits of it, into Beads rather a lot, often with Euclidean triggers as the seed. Then I play with the knobs until I find something I like and then recreate that modulation with sources in the rack. I'd love to get more intention towards it, and you've given me some ideas here.
Really appreciate that, nice to share it. One thing I did with Clouds a long time back was to have a back that triggering a grain (you could do that on the strike on here). So I could captured sounds and then live play when a grain happened.
@@DivKid I love the bitbox micro, I have a lot of fun slicing up old funk loops sampled from my vinyl, and then sending cv from my shift register to play different slices randomly and a separate trigger to actually trigger the sampler, the results can be awesome, after a bit of fiddling and noodling
Luckily (for you, us etc) Arbhar is an absolute ambient music making machine. I have a little quick "primer" on how to use the module and set up a basic (but incredibly musical) generative ambient piece. It'll be a while before I get back to edit that one and put it up though.
can you please give some recommendation on how to set Arbhar as less random as possible? i don't understand how to even turn off random panning of grains
With the intensity control defined anti-clockwise from 12 o’clock the grain generation is periodically timed (clockwise is stochastic). The two outputs are not necessarily to be considered stereo. The grains are distributed between them with coin toss distribution. Patching from the top only will provide all grains together in one signal. A powerful patching technique is to use the outputs not as stereo but as dual mono. Keep one channel dry, possibly panning dynamically as a mono synth. And process the other channel through effects. Hope this helps :)
haha I enjoy some silliness. Drums were my first instrument, guitar followed a couple of years later. Taught both privately, schools and college for a long time.
Legend! appreciate that. Getting there bit by bit, though the numbers mean nothing compared to enjoying the time here and having good support. Thank you.
@@DivKid not done a video for 5 months due to audio interface issues but got and RME upgrade arriving tomorrow so my weekend video will include a call to action if I can
Actually you’ve inspired me to splice together various parts of various drum loops I’ve created from stems which I’ve captured using stem-isolating software - cutting them all up on my 4MS Stereo Triggered Sampler, processing the resulting new drum patterns through Clouds using the various triggers used to fire off the various drum parts to trigger modulation, envelopes, etcetera, through various VCAs and synced-up sequencer voltage outputs, and a sequential switch to send various drum hits or parts of the loop to various delays, distortion and reverb effects!! Cosmic dub dub granular stylee! Very very inspiring. Thank you!!!!
Definitely wasn’t the video I was expecting for this, but exactly the one I didn’t know I needed

This is really cool. Nice beats, Ben! Sampling is an amazing art form. Thank you for showing more tips and techniques to steal.🦑
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get some good results if you give these things a try.
I’m in love ❤
awwww thanks mate
Genius….. I have a granular on my bitbox, haven’t used it much, but I am gonna give your ideas a go now
I don't have any 1010 modules, so I'm curious how you get on with that.

That sounds great!
Fantastic as always. Nice beats
thanks, appreciate that.
Thanx mate there is a lot to learn again. 🤩
absolutely I'm only just scratching the surface of it.
Nice one Ben!
Cheers Dan!
Yes! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Killer bro! I love granular everything! have you seen error instruments brinta yet?
thank you! I have seen Brinta, I'd like a play with that one.
dope. need to update mine
well worth it
Very cool, just picked Arbhar v2 up today, looking forward to trying DFAM into it know lol! Sub’d
Hope you enjoy it! I can imagine some good results with the DFAM and thanks for the sub.
@@DivKid yeah will be awesome I’m sure. No probs, thanks for the vids 🤟
thanks, appreciate it!
a fascinating module, for sure
I don't use drums at all to be honest but I can still appreciate what is going on here
cheers, and thanks 🙂
could be interesting pairing this with sampled drums (either directly from a DAW or from something like an MPC)
Luckily (for you, us etc) Arbhar is an absolute ambient music making machine. I have a little quick "primer" on how to use the module and set up a basic (but incredibly musical) generative ambient piece. It'll be a while before I get back to edit that one and put it up though.
Wow Divkid beating some skins
Im honored to have witnessed this .....
Teaching and touring drummer long before modular. Nice to play and share that here.
can you please give some recommendation on how to set Arbhar as less random as possible? i don't understand how to even turn off random panning of grains
You can configure so much on it, worth looking at the manual so you can set the device how you like it and then keep it that way to suit you.
With the intensity control defined anti-clockwise from 12 o’clock the grain generation is periodically timed (clockwise is stochastic).
The two outputs are not necessarily to be considered stereo. The grains are distributed between them with coin toss distribution.
Patching from the top only will provide all grains together in one signal.

And process the other channel through effects.
Hope this helps :)
“The international wiggly finger compression sign” 🤣🤣🤣 Good stuff man! You drums or guitar first?
haha I enjoy some silliness.
Drums were my first instrument, guitar followed a couple of years later. Taught both privately, schools and college for a long time.
I’m hearing a…. 3 module challenge!!
who knew. divkid does wonky beats! hoho, nice one mate
Glad you enjoyed . I've been pushing off grid with wonky beats for some time now, nice to have a play and find a way to share that in a fitting way.
brilliant! deep wonky nerd her too. off grid is the key, hehe. love your vids always@@DivKid
"international wiggly finger compression sign" - incidentally, it's a condition called "Mylar Hands".
hahahaha
Look it’s natural stolperbeats
I have been channelling a natural stolperbeats for many years! Thanks.
How do we get Ben to 50k subs… refer a friend 💰
Legend! appreciate that. Getting there bit by bit, though the numbers mean nothing compared to enjoying the time here and having good support. Thank you.
@@DivKid I recently hit 2k and numbers are nice to see to keep motivation up :)

Very very inspiring. Thank you!!!!
Great video. not good for my wallet though, I want an Arbhar even more now.
1:27 you were almos doing the porn hub beat my bro , carefull xd
I'm not so sure about that one, I know the meme/beat it's faster and a busier pattern. But if I remember of nice times then I'm happy :)
said almost xddd but yeah it may be the color an tone ! either way great video!@@DivKid
