Modular House Music // My Best Setup Yet
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 06. 2024
- I know i've done tons of chats on my modular setup. But this setup has been so hard to change up! I don't want to say its perfect, and i don't want to say i'll NEVER buy anything new, but anytime i do i just go back to this same setup. Its all focused on a controlled random approach. Where i let the modular be the modular but give it training wheels to stay in its lane without falling into the gutter and dragging my motivation down with it.

#Eurorack #Qubit #NoiseEngineering - Hudba
THE POUROVER COFFEE IS BACK!!! MAKES THE VIDS ELEVENTEEN TIMES MORE CHILLER!!! ☕️🎛🙏🏼
Two best modular rigs: (a) Ricky's mini, stable, reliable setup. (b) Colin Benders' spaceship.
Kind of exact opposite extreme approaches to modular.
Mylarmelodies Suggested System 4 I also love.
Sams (Look Mum No Computer) spaceship is also pretty dope tbh
@@Yuzuki1337 I suppose I was limiting my choices to Eurorack format, but you're absolutely right. Kosmo for the win!
Benders new mothership is a cure for GAS. What else could you need? Sure there are other modules but if you go through his design it is well thought out and pretty much complete. And he has room to swap stuff in and out if he wants to try something else in the blender. Then again, it cost as much as a house.
Legendary rig, this should be a signature bundle, you've done the hard work with trial and error of figuring out such a barebones appoachable setup, great sounds as always
U beat me to it!
Absolute best module to combine with Mimetic Digitalis: Doepfer A-151 Quad Sequential switch. Patch Steppy into the switch I/O input, then patch the 4 outputs into N, X, Y, R. Use another Steppy channel to advance the switch every 2, 3 or 4 bars. Now you get the simplicity of 4 notes repeated across a row, maybe 2x times. Then twice through a single Y column. Then 2 bars of random, then 2 bars of N, stepping through two rows. Then Random means that the next time through, you’ll be on a different X or a different Y. Or maybe not... controlled randomness!
Dude, I love how approachable you make modular synthesis. It's so common for people to get crazy complex with a patch for the sake of it, but you've honed this system down to this super musical case! No frills, just purpose-driven playability - awesome.
Every time I think I have defeated my urge to go back to modular, Ricky makes a modular video, and then I'll spend days on ModularGrid... Quality content, mate!
Me too! #lol
I love everything about this. I don't necessarily make house music, but I'm a big fan of controlled randomness. My next modular purchase will likely be something from this video for sure.
Honestly you need to put Load/Zero/Shred on a hat at this point lol
the accuracy of this!
This channel keeps me inspired to develop more and explore electronic music more. Really helps when I get discouraged. Your energy is the best dude!
I tried go full modular for almost two years but came along to the similar idea. Musical controlled randomness is a perfect explanation of this idea. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Oh. So. Sweet.
Appreciate the work that lead up to those discoveries, appreciate even more you sharing them.
Your having so fun and it is addicting to watch!
Niiiiiccceeee.............. So good to see the modular case out again.
Hey, thanks for these videos by the way. Between these mini modular house videos and Mylar's Suggested Systems, it made me feel confident in getting an 84hp case and knowing I can make something I'll enjoy playing in it.
Great content, slick rig, and I love your attitude.
Hey Ricky thanks for the modular content and the evolution of your work. Thanks to your approach I've been seriously interested in trying modular out. I definately want a subharmonicon feature-set with some great additions I see you work with.
I had never been so shocked by absolutely normal-looking hair.
Great tutorial Ricky. So musical. So focused. Came foe the music. Stayed for the hair.
12:50 man I feel you sooo. Love this and great hair btw
Jelly of that lovely mop
Thats soo sick! Im finally getting into modular stuff cuz of you
Damn damn DAMN..... best channel ever - I look forward to new episodes more than any other show anywhere. Thank you.
Thanks B.K.! appreciate seeing you around here!
This is great man.. hope you're well.. cheers
sounds perfect man!
I really like your minimalistic and focused approach. Very nice groove 😀
nice friggin melodys!
Some serious Mr. Oizo vibes at the end there. Love it.
Very insightful as always! Thank you!
The low key weave reveal was dope as well! (;
Yay more modular videos 😁
Constraints and purpose. Most of the modular videos I’ve watched have a certain bleep bloop paralysis of choice. Since everything is possible, nothing is preferable. Good video again. Thanks Ricky.
THE FLOWING MANE!!!!
ahahaha
Yo I am actually watching your videos multiple times in a row because I got the same feeling like I'm listening to a really good song that i just need to vibe to again and again. What you're doing is a whole unique form of art itself!
Always a pleasure to hang with you man 🤜🤛
Very cool, Ricky! I too find that my smallest case gets the most use, and it has little more than Maths, Plaits, a VCO and an LPF.
always amazing content
Don't understand the tech babble, but enjoyed seeing your face and energy shift into the zone when that bassline clicked. Sounded great man, love the vibe
It’s a great sound, it actually reminds me a lot of the sub-harmonicon in how it functions
Dope Man
That MMF filter is so sick. One of my favorites,
oh yea, the MMF is easily one of my favorites. that Ping feature alone is worth it! Thanks for being a member Landon!
New vid. Time to get a drink, relax at the sofa and play it :)
very cool train of thought and presentation of this idea on how to use randomness in small doses. I think Lightbath called this 'gardening' in regards to playing your modular and I always liked that. You set a certain situation with it and then you garden that patch until you have something cool that would not be there if the modular wouldn't talk back :D
Ricky's rack is a pragmatic solution to his musical intentions.
Structure and Spontaneous
Exploration and Arrangements
Colin Bender's rig feels geared more toward the "Endless Frontier of Possibilities" side of our beloved Modular World.
I, INTELLECTUALLY, wanna be Ricky (Modular in service to MY STUFF!)...
But my fear, is that I'm a secret Colin!
(GIVE ME THE SPACESHIP OF CREATIVITY!!)
always learn something interesting from Ricky's vids...
Glad to hear it!
These are the Ricky T vids I love. Shit sounds so good man, wish I could spend a few hours on that modular setup
Thank you Matthew! always good to have you chillin with me
thank *YOU*
I have a similar Noise Engineering heavy mini system. I'll often switch out which of their 10HP oscillators I'm using (I have all of them) to change the feel of what I'm working on. I love their equipment. Really digging the Manis Iteritas right now. Though I'm thinking of building out another 62HP system with some Qu-Bit modules, too. Small systems don't always prevent GAS. 😉
Been stuck in the Desolace of groove Sahara for over a month now. Hope the bubble pops soon. Thank you for helping.
house music to the point
Modular is never boring...carry on ... lol
👍 for the hair
Awesome/!!
The hair of Kings!
I love how some devices satisfy a need so completely. Wish my hair was still that black!
Steppy + Mimetic + Scales = Happiness!
i can't get enough! i've tried others and i keep coming back haha
New Ricky video time! Night = made!
Synchronicity, I've also been finding so much satisfaction in scaled randomization lately :)
This only gives me more GAS. 😋
Need to check if I do the same randomness with choosing some notes in a scale on the monostation.
Yo controlled randomness! It’s the evolution of Jazz! Knowing all the notes possible so you can pluck the right notes out of thin air. This is a similar way I like to build my solos. Trying to figure how to do hardware that allows me to do this. Feels good feels right that’s how you get it there!
What a freakin' chill poolside house track!!! Its like Eno-House; I'd forgotten I was listening to it till it was over which created a disturbance in my LIFE
Dude you are starting to look like Bo Beats with that long hair. Love the Surface from Qu-bit what a great chord voice for house! Wanted the Intellijel case but they are never available for sale and out of stock! I highly recommend the Jomox Modbase 09 MK2 kick drum for eurorack. Hands down the hardest hitting beefiest drum. Nice house jam. I really love using Euclidian Circles for drums and Eloquencer for sequencer beats.
Hey Ricky, i got a quite similar setup with a Metron. what i recently bought for the 1u spot was the Apex by plum audio.
Not sure if this is what you are after, but definitely a lot of possibilities in a small package.
yeah cuz you just do you...and let it grow brother let it grow
Wow, really digging Surface, Steppy and scales a lot more after seeing this vid, @ricky_tinez!
I’m just here to chill with Rick… ❤️
appreciate you E-con!
Love your videos man have you ever used a Akai force.That thing is right up your alley part Ableton part Mpc and works well with Modular setups. Keep the 4 on the floor lol
A like just for the alleviation of gas metaphor. Quality.
Weird my comment got deleted. Just a few question - Do you ever use chance on Steppy? Could get more randomness that way. And what stand are you using for the rack? It looks really handy!
Ricky? why the heck did you get 2 thumbs down on this lol, like I know what you are going to talk about when i saw the video title lol like who gets like "ohhh no im gonna thumbs down this" lolol
love the channel bro, liked and subscribed
Everyone gangsta until Ricky has hair
Dude your hair is looking fresh af tho
I need to know a lot more about that stand you've got that modular rig on. Can you share a video on that?
Best stank face in the game.
So, cool thing - If you want a similar effect over midi, the motif functionality on the NDLR by Conductive Labs does some of the same magic that the steppy, mimetic digitalis, and scales combo does here.
Wish I could go back in time, and copy this rig. And not blast god knows how much to only go back to a minimal set up
disco machine!
Very nice! Hey, what are you using to hold up your modular case?
Your voice in this video somehow rocked me to sleep... But I had to view it twice! So you got an extra view from me ;)
Still, interesting sequencing!
nice composition technique, im going to trying mimic small form changes recorded to the DAW rather than the classical approach thats difficult to get all the effects to.
Does each element end up on its own track in ableton? Or do you record the 2 mix ? Thanks for the videos :)
Ay, at least you got the hair. Most of mine said adios.
Love your skills as always, not too sure whether samples can be easily comped with a random sequenced bass or lead line? Without setting all the parameters for the rhythmic and harmonic shifts within the riff the unison lines outputted will be just on the wrong side of close enough for jazz - almost like a pianist trying to play along with a never heard before jazz song but they have no fingers. Some of the noted they play will fit but mainly, not so much. A harmonic envelope generator that could track key harmonic pitch value and output a control voltage within the sample would be a game changer for improvisation with modular. If there is anything like that I'd personally be interested for my setup.
If I'm understanding what you're saying, the Scales module does that. Mimetic is sending random CV into scales, and scales quantizes that CV into the notes he has set that match the samples he is using.
@@Jimmyzegg I see that but what I'm hearing isn't gelling and notes stick out in their pitch and rhythm which would require, to align more musically, some kind of envelope follower type afair that tracked the syncopation and pitch of the sample and converted the pitch into the correct cv and gate somehow. Failing this you would have to make sure the four notes you chose will fit over the chord changes wherever the mimetic spits them out into the quantizer. That task would get incrementally more difficult as the length and harmonic complexity of the sample increased.
This man must eat *HEALTHY AF* if he has to ask whether or not Pepto-Bismol still exists. Lol
I did get the erm clock 'cause of you lol.
H A I R
...also great video
I am really wanting a Steppy for my Palette Case, I just wish that Intellijel would release scales as a 1U Module!
i knoooww, i LOVE scales but its so big for what i need it to do. i miss their MK1 version that was only 4hp
ohai, Ricky's Hair!
I wish this setup was sold as a bundle like Andrew's even though Perfect Circuit never has that one either
Have you got a link to this rack on modular grid? Nice hair btw
yo ricky did you find a way to prevent your mac's fan to go fullbore when you have ableton running? i remember you were complaining about it a few vids ago, been trying to find a solution for that cause the same happens to me
i did! i bought a mac mini hahaha
@@RickyTinez damn, not a solution i can afford atm hahah
Naaice hear
Siiiiiick. With a rig like that you gotta get your hands on an Oxi One…
+1 Ordered, really looking forward to getting mine, hope they add velocity sensitive pads
I don't see any VCAs, attenuators, inverters, shifts, logic, etc, other than mentioning a mult. They say you need them, but so many euroracks out there don't have any. I'm always using a great deal of them in VCV Rack, as if you need an entire rack section just for utilities.
How do you get that clipped clap sound? It sounds so funky!
Maybe it's just layered with a snare and a bit of distortion added
@@lardosian I think it's some sort of compression plus the start of a paralleled reverse snare.
New on Ricky dictionary: "Lets load zero shred this"
which headphones are you using ? sorry I know you have already been asked this question probably a million times
How many days is a long time for not buying new modules ?
did you use loops or did you program your drums?
whats the stand you use for your eurorack?
What's that stand for your case?
Yo Ricky, a simple trick to find the key is to hum a note that fits the key of the song. When you ‘drone’ it try to listen and find it sitting in the middle of the notes in the track. I hope I’m clear enough. Then hum it to your keyboard/piano and find the note, thats your key!
Load + Zero + Shred only randoms to one octave, you keep saying two :D
