How to Make & Sequence Modular Synth Drum Sounds With Patterning 3 : Drum Machine

video upload by Olympia Noise Co.

"In this video, Patterning : Drum Machine developer Ben Kamen demonstrates using Patterning 3 as a MIDI sequencer to control a Eurorack modular synthesizer and builds drum and percussive sounds from the ground up. Starting from basic kick and tom patches, learn how to shape hi-hats with noise sources, add punch with pitch envelopes, and introduce melodic variations using MIDI.
