Make a Eurorack drum machine in minutes with Traffic by Jasmine & Olive Trees

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This video is about Traffic, by Jasmine & Olive Trees, a new maker from Barcelona. Traffic is a trigger-based CV controller that makes it really simple to set up three different drum or percussion sounds in a macro-oscillator like Mutable Instruments’ Plaits or Noise Engineering’s Basimilus Iteritas Alter, and then control them with individual triggers from a sequencer. But it’s definitely not limited to those modules, and in this video I’ll show you a few ways I’ve been using it with other sound sources.

This video isn’t sponsored; I bought the module myself and have no affiliation with Jasmine & Olive Trees. You can find out more about it at https://jasmineandolivetrees.com/prod..."

"Trigger-based CV controller with random modes.

Imagine having 3 triggers that will instantly set a BIA or Plaits as a kick, snare, and hi-hat. Using Traffic, you can effectively control multiple sounds from a single oscillator using triggers, much like a preset selector.

Traffic features 3 rows of 3 knobs, with each row having an output for the values of the knobs. You can select the active column of knobs using the trigger inputs. The three outputs are simultaneous, making Traffic a 3 channel controller or sequencer. Plus, the trigger sum output sends a trigger whenever there is a trigger in any of the inputs, ensuring seamless synchronization of triggers and CV values."

Jamuary 2023 Mars Machine

First 10:
1. Fireflies | Modular Eurorack Beat | Erica Synths LXR, Basimilus Iteritas Alter #Jamuary2023 01

First Video this Year! I started this Patch trying to use my new Erica Synths LXR Eurorack Module for a melodic voice which I think turned out pretty nice. Bloom and Pamelas New Workout are responsible for the sequencing. Main Melody 1: LXR receiving v/oct from Bloom, sent through Mimeophon. Main Melody 2: 2hp Pluck sequenced by Bloom, mixed with Noise and filtered by Forbidden Planet through Disting Delay. Bass is Plaits, distorted and filtered by Peradam and XAOC Zagrzeb. Kick: Basimilus Iteritas Alter Drums: Erica Synths LXR

2. Karmesin | Modular Eurorack Beat || #jamuary2023 02 ||| Queen of Pentacles, Acid Rain Chainsaw

Drums: Queen of Pentacles & some additional Hi-hats made with white and pink noise Main Melody: Acid Rain Chainsaw Bass: Basimilus Iteritas Alter Background Texture is Plaits with the model Input modulated.

3. SHORES | UK GARAGE on MODULAR || #jamuary2023 03

I've been wanting to make some kind of UK garage, burial inspired piece on the modular. I think it turned out pretty neat!

4. EMBERS | Drum and Bass on MODULAR || #jamuary2023 04

Here we go again, 4th day of #jamuary2023! I try to keep it as musically diverse as possible, so I tried to make some Drum and Bass this time. I think it's quite alright for the first try!

5. Below 0 | #jamuary2023 05 || Eurorack ||| Patch Notes on Screen

It's been a long time since I wanted to use the Forbidden Planet as an Oscillator and I never found the place in a patch since it is always almost on regular filter duties. But I managed this time and it sounds very cool!

6. Erica Synths LXR Eurorack Live Techno Jam | #jamuary2023 07

#jamuary2023 lets go! Part 6! I filmed this video when I just got the Erica Synths LXR, wanting to showcase some of its sounds! I think it sounds absolutely massive!

7. Leaving | Eurorack Drum and Bass || #jamuary2023 07

More Drum and Bass! I'm really happy with the drums in this. I stumbled across the melody by accident just fiddling with Bloom.

8. Happy Accidents | Chill Eurorack Beat | #jamuary2023 08 | Patch Notes

This was a happy accident by slowing down one of my other #jamuary patches. I then changed the drums and the main melody so it fit the tempo better.

Acid Techno Modular Synth Jam with TR-909 and DFAM - Unpatching or How I Patch

video upload by Honeysmack

Timeline below.

"In this video I "unpatch" a little Acid Techno modular rack I've been rocking for a few months. Truth is, I didn't really unpatch, more of a "how I patch" — I walk through and explain how I use modules and their sound/function. This channel is supported by my Patreons, become a member here: https://www.patreon.com/honeysmack

🎛 Focused modular voices 🎛
🔸 Cwejman BLD2 making the 303ish sound
🔸 Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter - mad percussion sounds
🔸 Noise Engineering Loquelic Iteritas - lead, bass or rip your head off!
🔸Michigan Synth Works SY0.5 - Pearl Syncussion clone, analog percussion secret weapon.
🔸Endorphines Queen of Pentacles - 909 inspired multi-drum voice module with effects.
🔸Moog DFAM - killer percussion and synth module with onboard 8-step sequencer.

Merely scratching the surface in this video. So strap in and grab a nice coffee or tea. It gets a little long, so perhaps my next unpatching video will dive deeper how I specifically use certain modules. Please feel free to ask!

🕹 The jam I unpatch is available here, with no talking, straight up jam: [posted here]

My modular gear and set-up is in a constant state of flux and I change up my rack every 3 months, thereabouts. That is the beauty of modular synths, you design your own synth. There are no, right or wrong ways to do this, it is all very subjective. Hence, you get an insight to my way of thinking about how I make Techno."

00:00 Intro to the gear, my improvisational approach and sequences
02:04 Audio and MIDI routings
04:09 Module overview
08:21 Intellijel Metropolis - and how I'm not a traditionally trained musician.
12:04 BLD2 focus, that's Bass -Lead & Drum Generator to earth people.
13:54 Add that 909 and jamming
15:05 Basimilus Iteritas Alter - hard to pronounce, best percussion all-rounder
18:10 Loquelic Iteritas - a tale of 2 pitches
22:52 Continue the jam, that's what we came for
24:37 Cockpit2 - mixer module with that sweet side-chain pump
27:33 SY0.5 and Queen of Pentacles, serious percussion investments, shhhhhh don't tell everyone
32:15 Queen of Pentacles, the Queen is very much alive
35:29 I do like to jam, no seriously, I do ask anyone who doesn't know me
36:06 Drummer from another mother or DFAM to you and me!
37:37 Please add 909 to that DFAM, thanks maaaaaaate
39:13 Versio - reverb from the versatile vampire
41:56 Get a little crazy jamming with the reverb
43:43 Outro and thank you

Ambient techno track: Basimilus Iteritas Alter, Manis Iteritas, Imitor/Desmodus Versio, Polyend Seq

video upload by Thoow

"Finally a new Desmodus Versio is back in my rack. Now Imitor Versio and Desmodus Versio are united again after months of separation. Such a strong duo...

In this patch I sequenced Erica Synths Bassline, Basimilus Iteritas Alter, and Manis Iteritas with the Polyend Seq. The later two are then send through the Erica Synths Fusion VCF3 filter into Imitor Versio and Desmodus Versio. All modules are heavily modulated by different LFOs. Again I use the O_C to randomly filter out certain triggers for Basimilus Iteritas Alter, and Manis Iteritas. The chance parameter is also modulated by an LFO."

Experimental Glitchy Eurorack Performance (BIA, Plaits, Bitbox Micro etc.)

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

Thanks for watching!
The goal for this patch was to essentially try to sound like Richard Devine's style of modular performance but with far less gear, so only 2 cases worth of modules. There are quite a bit of voices in this patch, including:
- Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter
- Mutable Instruments Plaits
- Mutable Instruments Rings
- Instruō Cruïnn
- Instruō Arbhar
- Instruō Lúbadh
- 1010music Bitbox Micro
- Moog Subharmonicon

Ambient track with Vermona Perfourmer, BIA, Manis Iteritas, Zoia, Euroburo, Syntakt and Polyend Seq

video upload by Thoow

"First track I recorded with the new setup, that I would consider as a permanent installation. The main sequencer is the Polyend Seq, that drives the Eurorack (Erica Synths Bassline, Basimilus Iteritas Alter, Manis Iteritas) and the Vermona Performer. All drums from the Vermona DRM1, sequenced by the Digitakt. Another Bassline is added from the Syntakt.

The Polyend Seq is not only beautiful - the eight tracks and 32 steps are a great visual guidance of what is happening. But (since it is an old and abandoned device) it has it limitations. Like probability. To counter this, I send the triggers for the two main voices through Ornament & Crime in the Branches mode and use two very slow LFOs to change the probability percentage over time. Further LFOs control lots of other parameters to keep the tracking along the 32 step pattern alive. All 8 tracks no the Seq are setup in different length, timings and directions to add another layer of change and randomness. I use the Polyend Poly 2, to connect the Seq with the rack. Works like a charm.

Basimilus Iteritas Alter and Manis Iteritas are then send trough the Zoia Euroburo in an easy delay and reverb patch I created.

Enjoy Cursus Vereor with powerful modulation controls, extensive MIDI capabilities, and in-the-box ease of automation and sequencing.

Cursus Vereor is a synthesizer that creates its sounds by dynamically generating oscillator waveforms. Use Cursus Vereor for sounds that are gentle, harsh, melodic, distorted, or anything in between. Cursus Vereor features an ADSR envelope with curve shaping and a dynamics section featuring a VCA and a lowpass gate plus a vintage-inspired chorus.

Cursus Vereor excels at chords and pads, as well as gentle leads and hard-hitting basses. It can sound almost acoustic in nature, or harsh and edgy with the help of the wavefolder and oversampling. With simple and intuitive controls, Cursus Vereor makes it easy to design patches for your projects – or quickly find the perfect sound with the included library of presets."

Erica Synths PĒRKONS HD 01 jam with my Eurorack, Syntakt, Digitakt and Push 2

video upload by Thoow

"Maybe not the best jam ever, but in this one I was trying to have the PĒRKONS play with the other mates in my team. Not so easy to tame that monster. Had a lot of fun playing with it.

In this setup I multitracked the four mono voices of Perskons into Ableton and added some effects (mostly Delay and Reverb) and some EQ to filter the low end. I use the Basimilus Iteritas Alter and Manis Iteritas in the rack, sequenced by the Syntakt, that also has a baseline on track 11."

Basimilus Iteritas is inspired by analog percussion synthesis. Synthesizing unique percussion is a breeze: thumping kicks, snappy snares, hats, snaps, and claps are all just a few tweaks away with Basimilus Iteritas. But it does so much more! The straightforward controls make creating almost any type of sound simple, including leads, ambient chirps, basses, and more.

Basimilus Iteritas makes 6-operator FM and additive synthesis easy with simple harmonic distribution controls, oscillator morphing, and our signature wavefolder. And with the included library of presets, you can quickly find the sounds you need without touching a single fader."

The Legio Platform by Noise Engineering | Episode 01

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"We all know and love the Versio platform. Two years ago Noise Engineering also announced a platform for VCO's and other stuff to complement their Iteritas line-up. Then everything went south for two years. But now, Legio is here, latin for Legion. There are currently three firmwares: Virt Iter (VCO), Tymp ( a mini Basimilus) and Librae (dynamics). As with Versio, there are many more in the pipeline. Legio (or Legion) also reminds me of the possessed man from the Bible (Mark 5:9) who carried 2.000 demons with him. When is name was asked, he replied something like 'My name is Legion, for I am many'. Definitely great food for a horror movie. But rest assured, Legio isn't possessed. It's just many. Let's start at episode 01."

Modular Monthly - Manis Iteritas Magnus

video upload by Ultra-Vox Studios

"Welcome to the first Modular Monthly! This will be a monthly video series showcasing my favorite modules, explaining there functionality, patching strategies and of course the sounds they create.

It was an easy choice to pick which module I wanted to show first. The @noiseeng Manis Iteritas Magnus is a staple in my sound design. In this video I thought what better way to show its sound and flexibility by just hooking it up and start turning knobs! The first half of the video is different kick/percussion possibilities and the second half I open it up to show the brutal and gritty chaos it can produce.

Based on the architecture of Basimilus Iteritas line, but designed to be more gritty and aggressive. It accomplishes this by producing only sawtooth waves that are manipulated, modulated, and distorted through a rethought interface. It has the ability to make anything from drums, bass, leads or detuned madness or just pure mayhem!
