  • I never knew a Quantizer would be SO useful! It made my eurorack modular synth musical (to my ears) It guides you a bit more into the easy module world of things. Allowing you to get the modular sound, but without the headache! Use the modular with samples and some typical sounds and its a perfect blend of samples, playing, and modular stuff. My favorite would have to be the Intellijel Scales, even though i know the ACL Sinfonion is an amazing quantizer but i needed a small quantizer. The Erica Synths Quantizer is great, but a bit too limited for my needs. Intellijel Scales checks all the boxes and more.

  • @LarsBjerregaard
    @LarsBjerregaard Před 3 lety +11

    Yeah, scale quantizers where you can select notes in and out are awesome! Discovered the power of those early on in my VCV Rack adventures and it completely changes/enhances the way you can make music. E.g. mix two different type LFO's at different speeds into an attenuator and then the quantizer. It's a whole universe to be discovered. The power of CV!!

    The fact that Scales can also do SH-101 type sequencing is another reason it is such a great module. May be tough in a live setting to use it that way, but Tin Man shows it can be done.

    Genuinely never seen anyone get this excited (and inspired) over quantiser module before :) the pairing with Surface works really well. I’m definitely inspired to try my Sonic Kitchen Penrose quantiser with my Rings module, although it does lack the flexibility of Surface. In my experience, less is more - fewer notes but used well gives a better performance. My go-to key at the moment is Em pentatonic

    Watched this vid before I got a Scales and watching it again 6 months later now that I finally got my hands on one. So hard to find - took me 6 months looking. Bought used off Reverb. Literally sold out across entire internet for half a year. Excited to pair it with my DFAM, the dual-channels should be a perfect match for the dual oscillators. Great ideas in this vid, keep it up :)

  • @effiksmusic
    @effiksmusic Před 3 lety

    Great discovery. If you use more modules receiving pitch from Scales you like to use a S&H module (capable to hold pitch like the RND from DivKid) so the pitch changes only when the voice triggers. I use uO_c as a quad S&H which is also a buffered multi, octave shifter, quantizer and more, if you like.

  • @ToyKeeper
    @ToyKeeper Před 3 lety

    To get scales-like functionality, I made a little midi processor. It takes two keyboards as input, and spits out quantized notes. One input is hints for configuring the scale, like on the module above. The other input is for performance note data, which gets quantized and transposed into that scale. Super simple, but also very useful. Makes it possible to easily improv real-time with pretty much anything, even if the song has a ton of key/scale changes. Just sent hint-track notes from a sequencer, and the performance track will always stay in tune.

  • @SunsetRC
    @SunsetRC Před 3 lety

    Hey Ricky, great videos as always. I'm just wondering why you only post in 1080p, especially if you are using the Pocket 6k according to what you film with. 4k can future-proof your videos. I'm sure you already know this :-) Or maybe you are using 1080p so you can "crop in" 4k footage. I totally get it. I'm coming out with 2 more channels, I have 3 right now. I'll be using the Pocket 6k as well. If 6k RAW is too taxing on my CPU then I may use 4k in ProRes. Anyway I know this is a bit off topic. Keep up the great work and maybe we'll cross paths.

  • @iangaplichnik7967
    @iangaplichnik7967 Před 3 lety +14

    Just a note,
    If you're going with quantisers, make sure, your oscillators are in tune.
    It's like at 5:40, oscillator pitch was actually around one tone lower, than the quantiser was showing. So be careful, something you see is not what you hear!

    @calder-d Před 3 lety +6

    You should check out the possibility of using a micro Ornament and Crime, running the Hemisphere suite custom firmware, as an alternative to this. You could do four separate channels of quantizing, or 2 channels, and then run some other utility (like slew or a shift register) on the other half. It's only menu divy when choosing which applet to run on each half, and once selected is pretty immediate to use.

    Hi
    everything is always very melodic here ... we always have good musical moments there!
    question in passing: do you have a favorite brand for your (many) audio cabling?
    thanks for your return!
