  • In this Eurorack Modular Sequencer Comparison Tutorial I will help you to choose the best sequencer for your needs. I will give you an overview over the most important functions of these 6 Eurorack sequencers:
    -------- Contents of this Video -------------
    00:00 INTRO
    00:45 WINTER MODULAR ELOQUENCER
    08:05 INTELLIJEL METROPOLIS
    13:50 ERICA SYNTHS DRUM SEQUENCER
    18:18 MALEKKO VARIGATE 4+
    24:38 1010MUSIC TOOLBOX SEQUENCER
    32:53 VERMONA MELODICER
    The Sequencers are mostly routed to the MFB Bass,the WMD Fracture Claps Module, the mutable Elements and the MFB Triple Oscillator.
    As filters I use the Analogue Systems EMS Filter.
    Some of these wonderful transitions I used you find at:
    www.videvo.net who also is the Author of those snippets.
    Some little PNG's of the old Namco Games were used by me in fully nostalgic reverence to the old Atari 2600 Games.
    The fantastic Transition and Computer Voice by: Mascha Schott
    The "TENET" sound (that I tried to reproduce in the VARIGATE Section) is also available for the Korg Kronos Synth as a free download at:

    Great choice of sequencers. I sold my Metropolis couple of months ago due to the release of Black Sequencer, which I think is amazing.

    @GuitarsAndSynths Před 3 lety +2

    I recommend a trigger sequencer and a melodic complex sequencer like Metron, Eloquencer or Vector. Trigger sequencer work great for beats and ones with CV and scale control are great for composition. Great choice on the Eloquencer that is an amazing sequencer and super easy to use live or on the fly. Love mine. Excellent video on modular sequencers! Hope that you update it once Ground Control and Erica Black Sequencer have been out a while. Also recommend cover trackers like NerdSeq.

    Sequencers are cool, but very limited. I stopped using them when I discovered MIDI looper. You enter your sequence live with a keyboard, with much more possibilities and nuances.
    Then the MIDI output is changed to CV by any midi to cv module.

    • @MaikSchott
      @MaikSchott  Před 3 lety

      I use the Eloquencer as a master clock as I found it the most stable order when using them all.
      The reset function differs a bit as the Drum Seq does not need it. As far as II remember from patching he restarts from zero even without connecting the reset.
      The toolbox only resets via Midi until now. And the Metropolis has 3 different reset modes.

    • @MaikSchott
      @MaikSchott  Před 3 lety

      The thing is when I had to start all over, it would depend a lot of what I wanted to do. So starting with just the Metro would be difficult as missing some gate or more CV tracks (although the new one has 2 tracks I think). So to answer your Question, I would still start with an Eloquencer as being more flexible

  • @FrankBartoli
    @FrankBartoli Před 3 lety

    Hi Maik, good review, thanks. A question: with eloquencer is possible to do sequences long to 256 using multiple tracks concatenating them (unique sequence as long as one made with toolbox), right?

    • @MaikSchott
      @MaikSchott  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Francesco, with the Eloquencer you can only make these long sequences, if you chain some patterns. Or you make a song out of different patterns. Another "trick" is to divide the clock of a track, so you get 8 bars. But the problem is then, that you still only have 16 steps for the 8 bars.
      It is still a 16 step sequencer no matter how you turn it. I broke my brains over it - and I hope Eloy will maybe consider this in an future update.

      Actually I never tried, but it should be possible as it has a MIDI input. This is whatr the Manual says: "Toolbox allows you to record Note Sequences from a MIDI input"

      I had to look myself in the video - I think I just patched the gate out to my envelope and the CV out to the VCO's. That was all. And later I had an lfo connected to one of these mod inputs. You can't really do anything wrong with that machine :)

    Excellent reviews! How did you go about designing the voice for the ratcheting "tenet" part? What type of vco's and filters to get that gnarly sound? I saw that you're using MU Elements. I'm experimenting with it in VCV rack but I'm not able to get that gnarly sound.

    • @MaikSchott
      @MaikSchott  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you! For that special sound I mixed the Elements with another VCO - the MFB triple. And I must say the Analog Systems filters and the ADDAC VCA's add some harmonic distortion as well. This is a great combi.
      I remember experimenting with VCV rack when I was preparing my first setup, but I am not sure if you can compare the virtual elements 1 to 1 with the real module. I notice that the real module has a nice 80's mid freq character that I like a lot.

    • @MaikSchott
      @MaikSchott  Před 3 lety +1

      Thank you very much! look, I do not know the Hermod well. When I look at it, it is a question of how fast you want to be in your every day workaround. This question I took as a guiding principle for my modules. I wanted to be fast according to handle sessions. When I look at the Hermod it has quite few knobs and you would have to use menus a lot of times I guess. It depends on the way you work. I personally love to have everything in sight (like the 16 step buttons on the Elo, or other Seqs have it, too).

      The Hermod is a polyphonic sequencer and the menu system is about as deep as the Eloquencer. I have both so I can vouch. The Hermod is more of a musician's sequencer. You can plug in a BeatStep Pro or any midi controller keyboard and play a beat or lay down some fat chords quantized or unquantized. I use the Elo for drum / percs and Hermod for chords, harmonic parts, complex melodies and arps. Hermod has MIdi DIN and USB ports built-in - Elo needs an expansion unit (44 hp vs Hermod 's 26 hp).

      Der Vari 4+ kann quantisieren (min, maj, penta etc) aber du kannst keine Root Note bestimmen. Das musst du dann mit deinen VCO's machen, wenn du die Tonart wechseln willst. Eloquencer, Toolbox und Metropolis haben diese Root Funktion und der Melodicer hat eh eine andere Herangehensweise.

      I think I put it aside because I preferred a Seq with more CV Outs at that time. Then - when I needed a Drum Sequencer, I went with the Erica Syths DS because I liked the surface a lot and it has a display plus LFO's, etc. there had been reasons . . .
      This is the reason there are these 6 Sequencers and others not.

But even here - everything depends on how you want to work. I decided for a fast jamming workflow, and the Metropolis can handle that very good.
