- A deep dive into a deep module!
Kermit MKiii is an amazing modulation source with many levels. Whether you like knob-per-function modules or enjoy a refreshing menu dive, it's powerful and inspiring.

This is really a kick butt video. Kermit is an awesome module. I wish all module review videos were like yours. You are clear and very thorough displaying the mod without a lot of fluff of other modules. Gives me a clear idea of Kermit.
An outstanding run-through, what a module. Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. It really helps to understand the module more and the your cheatsheet is fabulous! Again thanks for making that available to everyone for download.
I just got one myself...I love 38:00 to end....I love that type of Modulation....Thanks for sharing this Quincas..
Awesome demo. Thanks.
This module is a beast !
Amazing module thank you for a great demo as usual.
Great video as usual thank you. This module looks and sounds amazing.
that was awesome. Increíble module . I’m completely sold ! You did a terrific job on reviewing such a complex module
Congratulations
9:06 Oh, glitchy DIY guy. 😅 That's trippy.
Such a helpful and well explained video. I just got this lil wonder of a module. Subbed
Thanks!!
Kermit looks fantastic. Love that orange display. Will pick one up soon.
Mine just came and I have been digging into the module. So crazy what it can do. I love the dirty oscillator mode and using it for various modulations. You can also create and load your own wavetables via SD card to the Kermit. I think that this module has the crown for ultimate modulator in the Eurorack world.
would you say it's immediate and simple to use or meny-divey?
Notes for later:
7:57
really nice video thanks!
Not your daddy's LFO indeed! Awesome module. Great video, thanks!
Crap... I might have to reconsider my case now. Excellent demo on a module I've been curious about for a while. Oof this thing is deep.
I fell in love with the IME modules. Is it the orange? is it the challenge to challenge them? is it the sound? Doesn't matter, I want them all .-)
This is one if 3 modules I am soon planning on buying.
you are very lucky to be able to purchase these modules . i love them. very interesting range , this and piston honda .indeed there is a couple of modules that i am really interested on getting , but they are quite expensive. anyhow thank you for your demos.
and yes . your demos thing is quite clear , as most of your sound choices .......also i am quite far out cause this was done 2 years ago
I'm lucky I get these for free to make demos, they are indeed expensive!
love it, want one.
so basically CV Tools in a module? cool stuff
Great video👍
Thanks 👍
cool video! thanks
Great video! Check out the Double Andore mk1 from IME. Dual wavetable envelope/lfo and dual vca. Amazing module as well.
After having an eye on this module for years now I finally pulled the trigger. Took that long because it was either never in stock or my finances would not allow it. I think the price it pretty steep. And that's kind of the problem for me right now. It sure it a cool module and it does a lot of stuff BUT after playing around with it today for a couple of hours it somehow missed this wow factor that other modules immediately have. First of I was disappointed that for the price of 500 Euros it didn't even come with the microSD included. As far as I can tell the module is pretty much useless without wavetables loaded via SD card beside for maybe the random and code scan functions. Next is the way you interact with the module. Sure there have to be compromises made in 12hp when it comes to button per function but it's not so much the amount of shortcuts but the ergonomics of them, they feel somehow unnatural to me. A major gripe for me is the layout of encoders and buttons. I by no means have sausage fingers but I keep knocking parameters out of place and find myself searching for a way to place my fngers while performing some ninja hotkey combo without destroying the patch I've built for the last 20min. Then there are the bugs... The screen was buggy for me at least three or for times already. On the first day of use that is. When it happens the very right like 5% of the screen is cut off and instead on the left of the screen. Only rebooting helped here. Once followed by the same bug again after only couple of seconds.
Idk, I really wanna like the module and get happy with it but so far I am very torn.
Maybe you could share your feelings about that with me? Did the module have to grow on you or did you love it right away? What do you think about the ergonomics and what is your experience with bugs? And lastly which modules could be considered alternatives to Kermit? Is there anything out there with that much functionality?
Thanks for your videos and looking forward to hearing your input. Buyers remorse is real XD
One of the modules allready waiting on my wishlist. Amazing module with a lot of functions and hoping soon one to own. Thanks for your upload 🙏
Thanks for your videos, I'm totally useless when it comes to reading manuals so your videos on the IME range have really helped me! Hertz Donut and Bionic Lester next please! :)
Great! Yeah, I think IME is sending me a Hertz Donut next!
@@QuincasMoreira I have one arriving in May so look forward to it!! Cheers mate
wow so nice =)
Was doing Quad LFO,s with Math / Kermit Mk2 / Morph 4
With this it can be done in 12HP Whoho
Hi ! When do you plan to review Dust of time? I'm so hasty :)
thanks for the video..how's the tracking in this particular module?
You're very welcome! Tracking is very good. I haven't measured how many octaves but the times I've used it as an audio voice it was very in tune.
You jumped over the VCO section very quickly, which is fine as you probably had too much to explain (on all the stages). Anyhow, just out of interest, I see it's 2 VCOs, that's clear. But can you tell me how C and D work please. Obviously with only one input I'm curious to know what happens and how they work for VCO use.
I was looking at possibilities for 3 oscillators (in one module) and thought about the Instruo troika, which also looks interesting. However, seeing these Industrial Electronics modules (especially Kermit an PH), I'm wondering whether these might be more flexible - which for me is the most important thing in a rack when thinking about multi uses/space, and money spent.
Thanks in advance.
Hi! I don't quite remember, have a look in the manual! I think when using C and D for VCO the input can affect one or the other or both VCOs, but you can't CV control their frequencies independently at the same time.
@@QuincasMoreira I did, but there's nothing there (not that I saw), which is bit lame of IM not to explain that - somehow.
@@cardboardmusic it does say in the manual how to assign the cv input to pitch! it's just a physical limitation, a single input can't control two VCOs independently. But you can control them both simultaneously, so it's still a 4th VCO, only it's necessarily going to follow the same pitch info as the third one. Cheers!
Hi!
Any one can tell can tell me how low are frquency for a lfo and how long could be the envelope time? Are they smooth at this slow rates?
Thank you!!!!
very slow, very smooth!
you sold me one, where do I sign off your commission?
So a $400 module, and it looks like it uses cheesy plastic shaft pots? I say that because I can see them flopping around when you turn them. Maybe not all of them? You are a DIY builder, doesn't that bug you? Especially on expensive gear. I love the fact that guys like CalSynth make point to use quality parts even on an affordable module. You notice Befaco uses metal shaft pots.
this debate is not about price of parts really, some people consider shafts with some give to be superior. The Buchla 200e seems to use these kinds of pots as well ;). Also, the four main pots don't wobble, they are metal shafts and panel mounted, only the smaller ones are plastic shafts
cool video, awesome module. although the background music changing in volume when you start and stop speaking is rather irritating.
interesting, I think it helps so the music doesn't get in the way of the narration.
I like the music! More power to anyone taking the time to educate me & share grooves they enjoy as they do so! 🙏🏾
Have both version iii and the original. So different it’s not funny.
