Hello and welcome to this video on the absolutely mega DIVKID DROID MODULATION HUB! It's a 'patch'* made by DROID power user effiksmusic (fantastic work from him) that turns a DROID master and P2B8 controller into a super mega uber hub of modulation with 4 envelopes, 2 random generators and 2 LFOs each with some really clever and smart twists and chained functions to elevate them further.

The goal of getting into the DROID system for me was a mission to save HP, saving those precious HPs (space in the modular system) by combining lots of common functions that I use all the time, while also adding flexible additional features to them that would otherwise take more modules and more HP. This distills these modulators down into a simple interface that just provides the controls I need (and you might need too) to make the most of all of this modulation.

It also does that lovely thing of encouraging you to try some new things as the extra functions on each modulation type are right here built into the DROID patch only a knob turn or button hold away. See the timing index below to see what makes this special and of course, watch the video ... but you're doing that anyway if you're reading this aren't you?

*'Patch' is the term Der Mann Mit Der Maschine use for how these modules are set up. Creating them in their editor is similar to patching, but you can think of it as the firmware (it's not the firmware) or modes that you load onto the module (simple drag and drop onto a microSD) to define what all the inputs, outputs and controls are doing."
