Thank you. This has been the most valuable information I've seen so far on analog FM. I had a good understanding of all the theory, but good demonstrations and practical advice seem much harder to find. If you haven't already and if you ever get the chance, I'd like to see you do a video on the Happy Nerding FM Aid.

I bought my first modules 6 months ago, one of them was a clone of Marbles. Now after watching your video I finally know what to do with it. Thanks.

This is great Chris! Do you have any sense of how this module behaves in comparison to NLC's The Hypster, Joranalogue's Orbit, or even Elby Designs Chaotic? I wonder it they would complement one another effectively or overlap and share a lot of territory.

Great sound scape Chris. Also, I might take your course soon. By the way, can you please explain how these cameras are doing what they are doing? Thanks and God bless! 😊🙏🏻❤

Thanks for the explanation! Now it makes sense for me how it actually works. Just one stupid question. When I set the bendwith knob on max, does the analyzer ignore the frequency set on centred knob?

The mother 32 has a VC cross-fader and it's such a cool utility on a rather spartan synth.

Thank you!! Great video!!

great demo! thank you

Wonderful, thank you 🙏

I have one of these and I really like using it to tweak sounds but I’ve never heard anyone do a demo where they gave a musical example how we can make a music more compelling

This is fantastic Chris....looking forward to the whole record for sure!

fanastic! Reminds me of some of my favorite recordings of Pete Namlook, Robert Rich & Steve Roach! Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Really enjoyed this Chris; thanks for sharing it.😊

Excellent, Thank You!

Most musical modular I’ve heard.

Absolutely magical! Took me to places I’ve never been. I love your music!!! Following for more. Makes me want to dust off the old modular

BITCHIN'👽

Very nice sounding, you're a wonderful musician!

too pitty this thing has not reset function. its one of the most unique euro modules really. question : do the tube waves reset if an audio signal(say an external vco) is patched? so if the signal introduces silence, maybe there is a reset behavior on the tube waves? i think not but why not ask. in my book, the only way to create fast BPM basslines with this would be by using the WMD DVCA to at least have it go through a zero crossing detection before passing it into a filter. the best way will be to just record some waves and put them into a sampler with zero crossing scanning capabilities and go on from there. things get tricky on high bpm basslines, check out the only video on my channel to get an idea. the wave phase must be the same on every hit. big pitty for this module, and version 2 does not do justice for this matter. it uses its tube differently.

Awesome

Wow what a fun set of sounds! Thanks so much for creating and sharing these <3 That patch with the sample and hold is so great and so simple!

ooh, Livewire AFG samples! There are like, dozens of us that have that oscillator, they can't have made that many of them I think?

Can this filter turn a mono sound into a stereo sound? Thanks.

Yes Chris, .. the improvisational abilities of the gear, of now, is quite good, isn't it.

Silly me thinking what is a band-pass doing in a slope generator 🤷🏼‍♀

the oscilloscope from 2:47 is incredibly satisfying

Very interesting series - thank you

Clock with Expert Sleepers FH-2 for swing, chaos knob and high resolution patterns :)

did you make the other videos?

This is so cool. Thanks for putting together such a comprehensive and clear explanation. I was able to get started with the technique quite easily after watching this video.

beauty, reminds me a lot of The Orb's Advennture behond the Ultra world ;)

great short and informative tutorial!

Omg! I came across this as I begin my journey into modular synths, and see Chris Meyer and thought... That's interesting because that's the same name as the guy who was part of my "Chris and Trish" intro to After Effects so many years ago. What are the chances? 😂

What about cross modulation with two throug zero oscillators? Will they behave differently as with a normal lin fm and a though zero?

Excellent tutorial. I shall now try exp. FM with sync on my Blofeld ...

Hauntingly beautiful

Love this demo series. Cleared up a lot for me! Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant! Set my case up with this earlier and it sounds fantastic. Cheers to everyone involved with this, it’s incredible. I may have to buy another o_C though because I can’t see me using my current one for anything else!

I am watching this video for the second time. Such great, clear explanations. I do want to put scare quotes around the use of the word "problem" though. The "problems" with FM synthesis that you identify here really help with the clarity of your explanations so I get why you call them problems. But mostly they are only really "problems" when seen from the point of view of attempting to play specific notes and have your FM patches track well across the keyboard. Otherwise these "problems" are just characteristics of the sounds that you get when building FM patches in certain ways.

This is very cool, I've been struggling with discordant VCOs in my live system so will try this out. Thanks for generously taking the hit in commissioning it Chris!!

Can't find the furthrrrr parts 3-5

I ve been learning electronics and how to build my own modules. I'm amazed that the concept of the op amp integrator is everywhere in the Serge. In VCV, I've been trying to do everything using the equivalent of the Slope Generator, I feel it's a good exercise. Now I finally understand where the Serge sound comes from. And that video shows it well.

Great examples and great explanations! Thanks a lot for taking the time to produce such high quality video clips!

After all the years I've been tinkering with modular synths, I can't believe I've learned so much in the last 20 minutes... Thanks!

Excellent video Chris

Helpful video, thanks

Very enlightened use of a filter. Indeed the beauty and flexibility of modular. Thanks 🎉🎉🎉

great source of information.. great video for modular addicts .. thanks a million Chris..

God send app, thank you! I installed Phazerville 1.66 (+main) on two of my O&Cs. The 3rd one I installed Phazerville 1.66 (+stock2) for good ol' Quantermain and Quadraturia.
