Eurorack gear. I can't remember the specific modules but that's not important to the techniques/ideas.

To the latter point if it's one effect into the other why not just patch the two FX modules one into the other? If you wanted to vary that over time in the performance you could alter the second effects dry/wet mix level over time.

thank you!

ah thank you, she really enjoyed making an appearance and asked recently if she could do it again.

no, not sure if they're still working on it or not.

certainly happy with a Fennesz reference! Thanks

hard sync!

Tricky as they're different. The Dipole is inherently stereo (though can be dual mono) and has 4 filters (though they're in pairs per side, not totally open 4 separate filters). It doesn't have any of the sequencing and snapshot functions of Etna. It also has drive and a different filter character compared to the clean high headroom nature of Etna. The decision would depend on the situation and the goal.

@@DivKid I thought you might say that Ben. Very different toolsets. Hence I cannot decide and will struggle to drop £800 on two filter modules. Cheers for your review nonetheless

Yeah it's a tough one and honestly I can't answer (not because I won't pick one over the other) without some context. 3 mono filters might go further than two dual parallel filters. You might be able to animate with lots of sequence the Dipole to do Etna's thing easily ... musical style, patch approach, other modules all play a part in deciding something. For you I'd try to distil do you want stereo and a characterful and dual filter peak per side type thing? Or is the snapshots and animation potential going to bring more to your set up?

hard sync wobbly! haha sounds funny.

hello ... yes, thank you. This was the first talk of the day and the team had some issues. These got better as the day went on.

let it out either end and feel the relief.

haha the knob turn to comment generator! Thanks.

Thanks, I had fun and easy to get characterful textures out of it.

Why is digital a sad face? It's based on a FV-1 Spin chip that does the DSP if that helps or means anything to what you're wanting to achieve. These aren't FX you can achieve with analogue technology.

Yeah they do, tried a couple of their pedals and wanted them at the time, playing with this makes me want a load of the pedals too!

Feels like they really did a good job of porting over some of their pedal ideas and making that respond to CV nicely.

much obliged

Yeah they email when things are coming and going on sale but I think they just sell out quickly each time.

thank you

Thank you, really appreciate that.

There's a Rack Rash Records in Vienna I just saw (had to have a quick search to see).

It's often a hard line to cross that one, attenuators/verters for CV inputs at the expense of CV. The in built randomisations in some of the modes help dial in modulation without needing it externally too.

Thanks Tom. Yeah the tape mode is great, that before a nice stereo ambient chain (typical delay/verb) is great.

Thank you. I just tried using a negative voltage to offset the clock lower and it's limited to the lowest point on the knob. So it won't get into those much lower, aliasing artefact rich sounds you're wanting. I too like those. I enjoyed the ones I got from it in the video though.

@@DivKid thanks for checking! Yeah it's not a dealbreaker as there is still plenty that's clever and appealing in the module, just a nice to have. My job means my brain naturally generates feature requests ;) Cheers!

Jeg og😎

Blei du dradd te an? ;)

With your melodies and patterns you'd have some great FX out of it! :)

@@DivKid yeah I like what I hear!! And the company name is super fun for us Scandinavians too.

"head box electric" does that mean something and not translate well?

haha thanks

The silver looks good too, nice they have the inverted option for jacks on top too.

the ability to bend those taps into falling or swelling levels is great, quirky reverse verb stuff was fun.

ah thank you, appreciate it. Presuming you mean the pianos one, that's a few layers of electro mechanical stuff (Rhodes, Wurli) and a piano. Different octaves, voicings, humanisations to offset and vary each one of time. All done with samples in the DAW quickly to use give an interesting sound to work with.

They have stock of DRADD, I know the pedals fly and sell out very quickly though.

yeah me too

Ok, good to know. Any way that can tie into the oscillator function? Plaits follows on Braids nicely in terms of weaving hair, weaving sound type thought processes.

Good stuff, I haven't tried that one but I definitely intend every video to be a set of ideas for the functions and applied with anything. Glad to hear that's the case here.

Absolutely worthy! Make the most of what you can in any format you can or like to. I like that these things are in VCV too :)

I'll have a few more coming soon from the event, thank you!

glad to hear the DIY kit was a joy!

Thanks Andy, appreciate that.

great timing then! Enjoy and I hope you like the chat with Jose.

​@@DivKidvery much. Intwresting to hear about his journey. Thanks for all the inspiration and info Divkid!

Thank you, I appreciate it!

a bit of self patching is usually a good time (even if a noisy one) but yeah chaining filters for a steeper response is a nice patch. Hope others that don't know that see your comment and learn that too. Thanks!

Thank you for nice comment, appreciate it.

Try applying the patch ideas to things you already have. Most things are applicable to loads of modules, outside of very specific modules usually combining a couple of modules or so can allow you to get similar results.

sounds like some fun pairings
