  • @mikegeary8056
    @mikegeary8056 Před měsícem

    Akemie’s Taiko benefits greatly with a sample and hold. Mult the trigger that’s triggering the AT into the sample and hold then input the sequence or modulation into the sample and hold. That way every thing happens at the same time.

  • @analogueghostmusic
    @analogueghostmusic Před měsícem

    This was such a good set of tips. Just placed an order for a Squid Salmple and am super excited. Really loved the bit at the end about adjusting the end point of the sample to generate more interesting groove. Such a smart idea!

  • @corticallarvae
    @corticallarvae Před 2 měsíci

    Es8 and Es9 and the expansion modules are for live performances excellent and recording… and for using modules you don’t yet have…. And chains of modules or things like max msp live

  • @corticallarvae
    @corticallarvae Před 2 měsíci

    Warp is all about cross mod and if you’re not doing sound design it is still necessary to create complex oscillations, modulation, waveforms in general replace the buffered mult with the add2 hour analogue it’s a precision adder and averager.. way more dynamic complexity

    @xpump876 Před 5 měsíci

    Modular is fun to experiment with as the sonic possibilities are endless but. primary aspect of Modular Music( imho) is that it rarely ever provides much space for the listener... from ambient evolving soundscapes to intricate syncopated notes beats and sounds its often just non-stop. I lose interest if the same groove/patterns ..are continues w/o something else happening. Occasionally I find modular posts that use tricks like 'drop-outs' ( .. stopping the groove and letting the reverb /echo ring out before restarting), or arrangements variations and/or a change in rhythm and harmonic movement and these catch my interest.

  • @marizuokereke7347
    @marizuokereke7347 Před 7 měsíci

    Cool and informative run down. Only thing I'd say is that it isn't really Akemies that doesn't track properly, it's that BSP has a load of slew in it's voltage output so it doesn't always reach the required voltage before it Akemies received the trigger. This is an issue for modules that snapshot input voltages when the trigger is received.

    comment from product page: "I bought my es9 new. There was a bit more set up than I would have preferred but it was easy enough to set up in stand alone mode once I knew what I was doing. I had issues getting a stable connection to the DAW. Kept having to swap the sample rate to restore sound quality. Lastly when using both the quarter inch jacks to speakers and using the usRead more about I bought my es9 new. There was a bit b out to the DAW, both outputs had high frequency noise. Seeing as my main use case was as an integrated interface in my eurorack environment this rendered the es9 useless for my application" so it seems kind of noisy? who else can confirm? my question: is this goig to work with any daw? like for example with PRO TOOLS (first) ? i mean is the module going to act as whatever scarlet focusrite? just with that usb cable?

    I'd like to provide an alternative method for what he shows at 2:00. In regards to saving default project You can also delete every channel in your project, except what is used by the ES-9. Then save as a template instead of going into preferences and making it the autoload. It makes it easy to drag/drop the tracks into any project when you want to call it up. Useful for saving cpu on your autoload and also useful for old projects that didn't exist before your new workflow autoload. You could also use the Expert Sleepers FH-2 with the expansion addons and use midi ccs as your base of conversion to cv. Vastly expanding on your output options to modular gear. Fuckin rad!
