    Nice one for bringing forward techniques and ideas often forgotten in terms of application in the modular world.

      DivKidVideo I totally agree, I feel like the modular world lacks a bit of musical/sound design theory (although we tend to see more and more of that kind of vids these days which is a good thing!)

  • @precarious333
    @precarious333 Před 6 lety +2

    All good advice. I love taking the different wave outs of a VCO and processing them differently, through different filters, and/or spreading them across the stereo spectrum. Sine, of course, is great to keep separate, centered as the bass element. WMD Synchrodyne is especially useful for this since you can tap wave forms directly as well as through various filter types and Phase Locked Loops.
    It can also be very interesting to use one of the waves through a sample/hold circuit which will create a repeating pattern rather than a random result. I find it effective to add accents to the filter or VCA.

    • @WhiteNoises
      @WhiteNoises  Před 6 lety

      Thanks for the tips! I want to try taking the different wave outs and processing them differently, sounds like a great idea

      Haha! That's funny. Didn't know there was a mantis/modular connection but feels right to me.
      I keep my modular videos unlisted until I start a separate channel but here they are in a list if you're interested:

      It's a very effective technique I use all the time. A few examples...
      Doepfer A-110-2 VCO:
      saw wave to Polymoog Resonator in band pass mode
      square filtered by X0X Heart
      sine to sample/hold feeding into X0X Heart filter
      czcams.com/video/eSJTRcHP8y4/video.html
      Doepfer A-110-2 VCO:
      sawtooth through Limaflo - Motomouth Formant Filter
      square wave through Fitzgreyve - Polymoog Resonators with random voltages to VCA deciding when it's audible, creating interesting accents

  • @calderwood9641

    I love this video. Subbed. One question: When would you reach for a buffered mult instead of your Make Noise passive mult? Thanks! Keep up the great work.

    • @massimookissed1023
      @massimookissed1023 Před 4 lety +2

      I saw a vid (by synthesizersdotcom ?) where he advocated using buffered mults for Volt/octave signals.
      The buffering would ensure that tuning didn't go South if more connections got added.

    Modular is cool but it looks like a nightmare for ocd. Ive spent like three years being unsatisfied with my bedroom studio LAYOUT, i cant imagine what it would be like trying to "perfect" a rack without going broke and insane.

    • @WhiteNoises
      @WhiteNoises  Před 6 lety +1

      I know what you mean -- for me there isn't really a perfect rack, it's a constantly shifting instrument, selling modules here, buying modules there. Though I love it when people lock down a rack as a defined instrument and really learn it inside out.
