Eurorack drum tips feat. Winter Plankton Dassbrum & Zaps

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This is the first of two videos that I’m making about drums in Eurorack. In them, I’m going to combine some demos of specific modules with more general patching tips and techniques.

In this one, I'm focusing on two modules from Winter Plankton - a collaboration between Winter Modular and Plankton Electronics. I’m using Dassbrum, which is their all-new kick drum module, and Zaps, which has been around for a couple of years now.

I met the guys behind these modules at Machina Bristronica last year, and they’re kindly sponsoring this video. But rather than just doing straight-up sound demos, I thought this would be a good opportunity to dive a bit deeper into various approaches to making beats in a modular synth context."

Winter Plankton Introduces DASSBRUM Eurorack Module

video upload by Plankton Electronics

"The DASSBRUM is a powerful kick module from WINTER PLANKTON capable of producing a wide variety of sounds, ranging from classic kick tones to complex folded timbres. It features an analogue core processed through a digitally controlled matrix of analogue wave folders and envelopes, offering deep sonic flexibility in a compact 8HP form factor. A built-in sweet spot mode ensures optimal pitch envelope relationships for consistently punchy and dynamic kicks."

Analogue Oscillator with precision tracking (V/oct) in the 0-6V range
Digital recall of various folding architectures via panel button or CV
Sweet spot mode to maintain optimal Pitch Envelope Decay and Pitch Envelope Amount relations for the perfect kick sound
Accent headroom adjustment for both the VCA and Pitch Envelope Amount, offering dynamic response control
Waveshaping. 3 different waveshapers combined to produce 8 sound variations, from classic clipped sounds to complex wave folding."

Reverse Reverbs Revisited | ZAPS | Versio x 2, Maths | Erbe-Verb, Mimeophon

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I am still dreaming of a Reversio, a module that can take an audio source, reverse it, add reverb and reverse it again. But no. It's 2024 and we still don't have a module that can do it, EXCEPT Lubadh, but it can only do it in mono. Anyway, I've been thinking about it a lot, and I wondered why I never used Desmodus BEFORE the Melotus. These are the true questions in life. Melotus offers reverse grains, so in theory I should be able snippets of reversed reverb. And it works, but there's so much going on you can barely hear it.

I've been using Winter/Plankton ZAPS for this experiment, which was lying around for about two years because it's so deep, and you can't figure it out without a manual. Sure there's one, but it's a reference manual so it's hard to figure out how it works as a whole. Regardless, it's one of the coolest modules I have. Using it with the Versio's has been an adventure, but my experiment failed.

Then I remembered that Mimeophon can reverse the long repeat. So I used Erbe-Verb fully wet in a send/return, only reversing the reverb tail and pre-delay. Yeah! This was very close. You can always rely on Tom Erbe. People often regret the Erbe-Verb has a mono in, which makes sense because it was designed for the mono Shared System. But reverb works fine with a mono send/stereo return, in fact it works better. I tried to explain how you can work in and out of a camera frame when you're close, but when you're in the back of a hall, that same distance looks very small. I had an amazing session and I hope you like it too."

Eurorack Modular Sequencer Comparison - which Sequencer do I need? 6 Sequencer Preview and Workflow

video by Maik Schott

"In this Eurorack Modular Sequencer Comparison Tutorial I will help you to choose the best sequencer for your needs. I will give you an overview over the most important functions of these 6 Eurorack sequencers:


00:45​ WINTER MODULAR ELOQUENCER

The Sequencers are mostly routed to the MFB Bass,the WMD Fracture Claps Module, the mutable Elements and the MFB Triple Oscillator.
As filters I use the Analogue Systems EMS Filter."

Create Chord Progressions on the Eurorack Modular System - Patching Techniques

Maik Schott

"In this Eurorack modular synths tutorial I demonstrate patching techniques how to make chord progressions on the Eurorack modular system. I use the Winter Modular Eloquencer - which I found the perfect tool for this task. I was searching for a long time how to achieve these chord progressions on a step sequencer while keeping the possibility to alter the chords on the fly."

"thanks mom for the song title idea c:

six patterns in three movements. octatrack is on drums n mixer duty as usual. modular is providing secondary drums and a fast plucky bass line. digitone is the bright shimmery pads and keys as well as the growly vocal bass and the analog four is the subby analog goodness, squidgy analog goodness and the low pad that comes mostly toward the end.

octatrack does most of the sequencing, eloquencer for the euro bits and ableton to record and compress it all to hell and back."
