Future Retro Transient Quick & Dirty Jam

Published on Aug 4, 2017

"All sounds are being generated by the two Transients, and in some cases further processed by the Echophon, Morphagene, or Clouds.

I recently put together this smaller eurorack system for a couple Transients, and included quite a few of the newer modules to see how they all get along. The Malekko Voltage Block and Varigate8+ are an excellent match for triggering and sending CV's to the Transients. The MakeNoise Echophon and Morphagene provide some cool granular effects, delays, and pitch shifting, and the Clouds is used to add some reverb and ambience at times. Very happy with this setup, and I've only began to scratch the surface of possibilities."
