Yep that’s as minimal as you can get. The sad part is the power box costs more than the modules! You did a nice job! For technicaly three pieces ( you have to include the sequencer), I loved it. When I bought my 100 system I wanted every single module and two 112s and it’s a great way to kill time! Adding a Neutron and a 2600 you can do just about anything. That’s 11 oscillators and not a real expensive rig. Didn’t stop there but a smart person could have! Lol
Somehow this was completely mesmerizing. From the sounds to the subtle hand movements during the unboxing. Well done!
Oh never mind I see it’s the best step. Sounds great! Thank you for the video
such a cool little modular setup! Those two work so nicely together. sounds awesome! subbed!
Inspired
Thanks.
And very nice sounds from just two modules
Thanks!
I plan to use the same setup for minimal stuff. I like it.
This is so cool! Great great tune! Earned a sub :D
Great music and great video.
Thnaks for sharing! 👍
Thanks!
just started building a modular. Plan is to go as cheap as possible. I'm using the behringer 2x VCA and 2x envelope with the LFO (like the one in the video), with a 4ms Ensemble. With a minibrute and old guitar pedals to fill in loose ends. seems worth it.
Amazing setup, love the Minibrute sound, and even more if processed with guitar pedals to give it such a wonderful warmth.
@@mata_ funny part is, minibrute was ONLY used as midi-to-cv, sequencing, and audio out. I did modify it and added a LFO out, which i used pretty often until I got a PNW. But I'm just bored of subtractive synthesis in general. Sick of it, really. I'm really enjoying my setup of the Ensemble and now recently, a bunch of doepfer a-110-4 vcos.
Anyways, I loved your minimal setup. There's a lot of fun pushing one like that to it's limits. Brings out the creativity.
What's the case you are using. Cheers.
@@maccagrabme 4ms Pod32
Grab yourself a Doepfer fx insert. Great for adding a pedal chain.
Beat’s dope!
Such a powerful little beast !
Yeah! I love it, this is a great synth to start into modular. Cheers!
@@mata_ and the rabbit hole begins, into your wallet of course
Nice. I have a Behringer System 100m clone that is awesome to jam with.
You got some thick beats!
Thanks!
wow, I am thinking getting into modular, seems like a good way.
Bravo
I much approve of this little setup. I gave up on powered cases (too expensive) and have started building my own and use the Behringer CP1A power supply. Perhaps a bit overkill for such a small rack, but still cheaper! By the way, no point adjusting the "delay" on the LFO because it needs a trigger in 🙂. But a great demo to show of how well these 100 series modules (still) sound. And yes, the tuning knob is definitely a problem with the 110. It is so easy to accidentally hit it and detune the lot. A shame roland never put a "random" setting on their LFO in the 140 or the 150, having both the sine and triangle wave is unnecessary, and it would have given you immediate access to some S&H like behaviour. They did this in their later synths.
minimalism🤙
he put two modules in a case*
yes sr.
What are you using for the drum sequencer??
Well done.
Game Changer Audio just released the PLASMA VOICE !!! ...it's 412 EUR, but a complete synth voice module.
but i still don't know when the Behringer Syncussion SY-1 is coming out yet, but that will be Less Than 200 USD.....i think i would try for those two, and a good sequencer module to start
Is all audio coming from the tiny modular or are the drums coming from elsewhere?
actually, now i am thinking about that $90 behringer curved triple row 80HP rack.
like the two Least Expensive 80HP synths are the 1) Kobel Expander, and 2) the TORO...just add 3 ) the Syncussion SY-1 when behringer releases it.
then re-patching isn't so much....the drums and bass being direct tweak........( and OMG, the Arturia Beat Step Pro is the Same Width !!!! ) ... would that be nuts or what? the problem is, i am in the middle of building new guitar rig.
I've wanted a 100m system since I first became aware of them, around '83.
The fact that even this miniature case sells for over 100€, tells you everything you need to know about the insanity of premade Eurorack cases. Fucking plywood cases that cost several hundred dollars....
Behringer eurorack go is kinda only reasonable option now, or second hand tiptop audio Mantis.
Yeah, cases are the biggest ripoff with modular. A decent empty case costs as much as regular monosynth (and even some polysynths). I build my own using redwood and aluminium angle strips for less than $40, but even the cheapest power supply will set you back over $100.
Cr8audio nifty comes with psu, cv and midi and USB for about 160 UK.
@@maccagrabme 200€ for a 84hp case, no thanks.
Although I admit, the added bonus of midi/cv is a good idea
actually, that looks pretty good what you have there ...i bet that's less than a Plasma Voice, and looks a little more modular....i would have to hear both.
i am still thinking that 80HP Behringer SY-1 ( kick snare synth ) and a sequencer module would be part of a first go .... but the SY-1 isn't even out yet.
Two questions about that: does it run in mono (output) and how get i midi into this (is a midi to cv needed)?
Thanks for sharing with us!
Hey! Yes it runs mono output. I use the beat step pro sequencer sending CV. But you can get a midi to cv adapter as-well it will work either way.
Thanks for your comment
Love the sounds coming from your setup ! Might be a good (cheap) intro into the modular world !
May i ask you something please ? The 4ms website gives a maximum depth of 33mm. Does these two behringher modules fit right ? (they seem to judging on your video)
Yeah super affordable way to start into modular synth. Yes, I was worried about them not fitting in the case but turns out it is a perfect fit. So If you’re looking to get it, I highly recommend it for any 32hp modules, cheers!
@@mata_ thank you very much !
@@mata_ hello, may I ask you something else please ? I am really tempted to dive in the modular universe and I am considering the same 2 modules you chose. Is there a need for additionnal attenuators to combine them with other non-eurorack gear ? (Through an analog mixing table for instance)
❤
I have a complete system too. But really can't create what CZcams users can. Feel pretty crap about that 😢 beginning to regret it.
Keep experimenting with sounds, FX's, sequences weird sounds. Sound design is the most exciting part in my opinion.
It ain’t about you tube …. Man i post dog stuff because I’m a animal lover .. and a alcoholic fuelled tro8 30 second thing .. ( what I’m saying is most of my Dj friends etc and music minded people don’t post … ) just get your beats together that YOU enjoy and 😅hapdays perfect ,,,?!!✌️
is the behringer powered by the beatstep?
The beatstep sends gate and pitch to the behringer module.
My biggest concern was the depth. The pod32 apparently has 34mm depth whereas the Behringer modules are more than 40mm deep. How did they even fit?
yeah i did a lot of research about that and it turns out that they fit perfectly. there is actually not much space but they fit great. I recommend buying the powered case.
@@mata_ Wow! Thanks a ton...that saved me so much money and confusion
I see no cable from envelope to VCA? How the VCA is controlled?
Oh... i see now the arrow, it comes int. from VCF. 😄
yeah! the VCF is connected int to the VCA.
from where come from the fx? From the tr?
yes from the TR8S
👍👌💥
From where comes the drums in this set?
From the TR8S
If only there was a CV output from your watch!
So you can compose this music with this setup? For real? 🎶🎵
apart from the TR8S drum sounds, are all sounds coming from the behringer modules ?
yes!
Whats the kick
the kick is from TR8S
gotta tune these things every time don't you?
Not really, stays in the tune.
What case is that?
Hi, it’s a 4ms Pod 32 powered.
@@Macon-media pod?
Full toys
yeep
Cool, the Arturia keyboard is doing a lot of difference I think. I've bought many more modules of the same series, and they wouldn't make these sounds.
I thought you made your synth by the title...I mean, built every module 😄
True
Can this transmit to aliens?
All a modular synth needs to do is bleep, and I’m satisfied.
hahaha for sure
Xxxxx!!!!
Yo I'm not sure if you've heard, but I would check out "Behringer: The Edgelords of Music Production" by Benn Jordan just to stay informed. You have the modules already, no sense in getting rid of them, they're very useful, but I would recommend watching the video before you buy more of their stuff.
Oh for fucks sake
🙄
😂🤔 Vaya desorden. Menos mal que es un "minimal"...
So, you used Behrenger mods. Congratulations, you played yourself. Real rack mods or gtfo.
Hey Brian, your jealousy is showing.
@@johngannon My modular synthesizer with boutique modulators says otherwise.
@@brianbrain2627 you are a literal joke.
Show us your tracks. Don't be as misguided enough to judge musicians based on the equipment they have, but by the music they produce.
I don't have to show you anything. And, don't change the subject.
