Patching: A Chance to Bloom

video upload by Qu - Bit

"In this patch-from-scratch edition of our Patching playlist, we're using Chance to keep Bloom a little more interesting.
Using Chord as our voice, check out how we can transform a simple sequence into something memorable with a few adjustments from Chance!

About 'Patching'.
This series continues to be a reminder to us, and hopefully to you:
Take the time to stumble in the dark a little...figure something out...control some voltage...
...enjoy PATCHING.

In our videos:
Purple cables = audio
Blue cables = CV/gate
White cables = clock

Eurorack: Ethereal Glitches with Chord V2 - Data Bender - Nautilus

video upload by lucafrancinimusic

"I've recently got a few modules for my new Eurorack case and this is the first video with all of them. The patch notes are in the video and below:

I've programmed 4 chords in Qu-Bit Chord V2 and I've stored them in the User bank. The two 4-steps sequences from Bloom select the chord and the root note.
Mixup is used to sum all four Outs (3rd and 5th are patched in Mixup stereo Ins to get a wide stereo image of the chord pad).

Mother-32 is sequenced by Intellijel Metropolix (the master clock of this patch), it goes into Data Bender and to Cosmix Pro where it receives a touch of Nautilus delay, which is patched as parallel fx in the mixer.

Chances modulates the cutoff frequency of Mother-32.

Modular Iteration ✨

Modular Iteration 1/3 ✨ video upload by Andrea Marzilli

"Finally I had some time to study my newest eurorack system! This video is about some Mutable Instruments Plaits waves heavy modulated by @Qu - Bit Prism and Data Bender, plus some helps from @Noise Engineering Versio. ✨

Wear your headphones for detailed audio. 🎧"

Modular Iteration 2/3 ✨

"So I realized another soundscape with the same system, using different actors.
Here you will find a @Qu - Bit Surface modulated by Mutable Instruments Tides on the @2hp Modular VCA in order to create different envelope rhythms. It goes straight inside the Prism for some filtering and, at the end of its path, the lonely Surface meets a @Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio creating the magic space. ✨
@Arturia Augmented Voices helps me with some basses added in post.

Wear your headphones for bass and detailed audio. 🎧"

Modular Iteration 3/3 ✨


"Here we are! Last jam, I’ll do it short: Mutable Instruments Rings is sequenced by @Qu - Bit Bloom and modulated by Tides. Monsoon is freezing a note coming from Rings and Data Bender is giving aaall the rhythms to the system. @Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio adds the timeless space, as always.

Headphones = details. 🎧"

Eurorack jam featuring Metropolix, Manis Iteritas, Prok Drums, Zen Delay, and electric guitar

video upload by

"A live, semi-improvised modular performance performed entirely on hardware, with one guitar overdub.

This jam started with a simple exploration of the Intellijel Metropolix, a neat sequencer that helps you stumble into inspiration, along with two voices (the Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas and the Acid Rain Chainsaw). My ambitions were no more than "play guitar with eurorack". But as the song found itself, and more and more was added to the table, it became clear I'd have to add guitar after the the fact.

A big highlight here is the Prok Drum modules being sequenced by the Mutable Instruments Grids. Not only is Grids fast and inspiring, but its modulation allows you to add performability (like the snare rolls I add via a touch pad here) and variety (through its chaos and frequency controls). Special thanks to Michael, a good human and also a member of my Patreon community, for allowing me to commission him to build the Prok modules! You're the best, Michael.

And of course, the Erica Synths Zen Delay works its magic again. Here, it runs everywhere from flanger to filter to gonzo delay, and I just love what it adds to a jam.

The patches would take a very long time to explain, but here are the modules:

Voices:
- Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas
- Squarp Rample
- Acid Rain Chainsaw
- Qu-Bit Chord
- Frequency Central Product
- Prok drum modules

Befaco Noise Plethora Demos by Friendly Noise

Playlist:

1. “Befaco Noise Plethora - Azatoth’s flutes” by Friendly Noise

This is my first video with the Befaco Noise Plethora, a triple digital noise generator with also three analog multimode filters, offering plenty of flexibility to shape the sound.

Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, Befaco Rampage, SSF Vortices, Intellijel Quadrax, Intellijel Planar, Xaoc Kamieniec, Xaoc Tallin, Qu-bit Data Bender.
+
Strymon Nightsky reverb

2. “Noise Plethora 02 - Sequencing Programs” by Friendly Noise

The programs of Noise Plethora can be sequenced manually or using the CV inputs for each channel. That greatly adds to the sonic variations of the module.

Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, Befaco Rampage, IOLabs Flux, SSF Vortices, Intellijel Quadrax.
+
Strymon Nightsky reverb

3. “Noise Plethora 3 - Drum Kits” by Friendly Noise

Because Noise Plethora is a triple noise generator, you can set up some drum kits using only this module. Clever use of modulation for the sound parameters, filter settings and (external) envelope shapes can results in many different sounds from just only one Noise plethora “drum kit”. :-)

Patch notes are included in the video.

Modules: Befaco Noise Plethora, IOLabs Flux, SSF Vortices, Intellijel Quadrax, Xaoc Tallin, QU-bit Data Bender.

video upload by Matt Lowery

Update: new videos added below.

"Come check out optx- a new ADAT Eurorack module that connects your modular synth to your computer.

In this video I give a brief overview of the module, and a few use cases for how I use it in my studio. I'm a huge fan of what Boredbrain has put together here, and can wholeheartedly recommend the module for those who like working with Eurorack in the DAW."

injectr by Boredbrain Music: Overview and Demo


"Injectr makes it super simple to bring guitar (or any other ¼ inch instrument) into your modular system for processing, and also to derive useful control voltage from your signal via its envelope follower and gate generator.

In this video, I give a brief overview of the module, and then demonstrate its incredible musical value. I really love this thing."

eqx5 by Boredbrain Music: Overview and Demo



"This is eqx5, by Boredbrain music. Eqx5 is a five band equalizer, offering 12 decibels of boost or cut per frequency band, at a slope of 6 db/oct. It features stereo input and output, a handy summing output, as well as control over the master volume level and stereo image.

Eqx5 offers cv control over parameter on the module, and allows the artist to push into deeply creative territory by sending control rate or audio rate modulation into some or all of its cv inputs."

Boredbrain Injectr and EQx5 - Guitar and Modular

video upload by Sound Isles

"New from Boredbrain: the Injectr an instrument interface for eurorack and the EQx5 a 5-band stereo equalizer. Two incredibly powerful tools for sound shaping and creation.

Gear / modules used:
Gretsch electric guitar, Thermae - Chase Bliss Audio, Arturia Microfreak, Injectr, EQx5, Rings, Data Bender - Qu-Bit Electronix, FX Aid XL - Happy Nerding, Instruo - ochd, Intellijel Buff Mult, Monsoon. Happy Nerding OUT.

Boredbrain OPTX ADAT Interface module review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"OPTX offers 8 analogue inputs and outputs to and from ADAT. It could be a perfect way of expanding your audio interface into your modular for audio and CV shenanigans provided you have ADAT ports. Want to know more? Then watch this video.

I'll be using Bitwig Studio running on a Microsoft Surface Pro and an Arturia Audiofuse to show what the OPTX can do.
