Modor DR-2 tutorial Part 2: Special functions

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Part 2 in the guide to the Modor DR-2 drum machine. Here I cover a lot of the extra functions and front panel buttons. Again this isn't a sound design tutorial, just a guide to functionality.

At almost 30 minutes long I thought I should leave things there rather than trying to cover all the remaining functions since a lot of these rely on shortcuts. How many shortcuts can you assimilate in 30 minutes?

So Part 3 will cover the remaining features and after that the really fun stuff of sound design.

Finally, if you're listening through headphones and hear some high pitched noise, that's my mic picking up some RF noise which I've since, thankfully, solved. The DR-2 is dead quiet and clean.

Modor NF-1 soundscape II - The indefinable soul

video upload by MIDERA

"Yesterday, I was drawn to the Modor. Today... more of the same. I had come up with some patches that weren't played here, but eventually I recorded it... I'm finding some really cool things you can do with the looping envelopes. It's very useful when you use a different envelope to modulate the decay of a looped envelope. Anyway, here's soundscape II.

Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb."

Modor NF-1 soundscape - The bell tolls call us home

video upload by MIDERA

"Here's the Modor NF-1 after I've had a chance to work my way around it. I really don't like the first 20 minutes of this, but I started working my way into a new patch at about half-way through. I'll try to mark the spot, but basically, I suddenly found myself in a new territory of sound. I didn't realize just how well the NF-1 could do organic sounds and seem like it's got physical modeling.

Hope you enjoy. Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb, all other FX were generated within the Modor.

Modor DR-2 tutorial Part 1: Getting started

video upload by Richard DeHove

"The Modor DR-2 is one of what I consider the 'Big Five' in the drum machine world. There's the DR-2, Perkons, Pulsar-23, Rtym MkII and the Alpha Base.

This is not a sound design video, nor do I go through the many sound models and parameter options, that's for later videos. This one is a guide to the DR-2's basic operations, although of course there's plenty of hits along the way. The intention is to explore the many functions of the DR-2 in an ongoing tutorial series.

I've admired this machine for a couple of years and am excited to have got this one on loan from Modor. So it was very cheeky of me to switch out all the knobs for big black grippy ones from Erica Synths, but, well, it just looked too sweet and clean and my Big Box of Knobs is always looking for opportunities.

Soundwise there is a limiter on the output just to avoid any surprises and my voice is damping the drum machine level whenever I speak, which should explain any volume fluctuations.

"This is a great sounding synth! It's digital but sounds very analog - wide and fat with a smooth filter. The FM and wavetable oscs add a lot of variety to the sound and there is a free USB editor to help navigate the editing (although the knobs provided work very well with a few taps you can get to just about any parameter). It was discontinued and for anyone looking for a well-built and unique digital synth in a small format, this is a great choice.

Please note that the MID keyboard pictured is not included with the sale but will be listed separately. It's a good match for the synth and looks unique!"

Modor DR-2 Drum Machine ( 15 minutes drums knob tweaking no talking )

video upload by Dziam Bass

"In this movie is some fun from hands with Modor DR-2 Drum machine. small drums improvisation mainly KNOB TWEAKING but of course this is incredible machine for programming up to 128 step . some tweaking with solo instruments and some on whole beats .

First of all: although it's digital, the DR-2 is not about sampling. It's a drum synthesizer, like a classic analog drum machine, but it uses digital sound synthesis algorithms instead of analog circuitry. There are no samples in the DR-2, and there's no sample memory.

Just like the Modor NF-1, the DR-2 is not build to recreate the classics of the past. The DR-2 uses digital sound synthesis to innovate drum sounds and rhythms. Many sounds will be recognizable. It is possible to make classic sounding bass drums, snares and rimshots. It's not difficult to program classic floorfillers with the DR-2. But with 12 synthesis parameters per drum, you'll easily find yourself creating your own individual sound."

Modor DR-2 drum machine & Akai MPC 1000 '' HIP HOP ''( no talking )

video upload by Dziam Bass

"Today I made some beats with Modor dr 2 drum machine.
I see most DR-2 demos are in the electronic genre so I went a step further and used the DR-2 in Hip Hop
It's a really great machine
All drums are from Modor dr-2, samples and bass from MPC1000
I don't want to say pros and cons .. just listen.
