Creating a Live-Ready Modular Patch from Scratch (part 1)

- This Saturday, I've been invited to perform in Milan. Over the next few days, I'll be building the patch that I'll take to the stage, and I want to share this process with you. Starting from scratch, I'll document my thought process in creating a complex patch.
In this particular example, I'll build a patch capable of working without a computer, using only the modules I have available. The goal is to achieve a sound that is aggressive yet clean enough to work well on challenging speakers, given that I don't know what kind of setup I'll encounter.
Additionally, I want to share that the latest modules I've acquired, especially the delay and reverb, have significantly helped me achieve a richer, more professional sound. I'm very satisfied with these effects.
The only connections present at the beginning of the video were my end chain, which consists of a stereo filter, then the delay, then reverb, then a high-pass filter to eliminate frequencies below 30 Hz, and finally a double mono compressor.
I don't yet know the final outcome of this patch as I still need to finish it, but I wanted to post a video of the process since many of you have requested it. I hope you find it useful, and I'm ready to answer any questions you might have.

dude, you be groovin!
love this kind of video, nice workflow and sounds!
Nice rack and great sounds. Would have loved to hear some commentary as you're working. Could maybe use an EQ after your reverb.
Editing now a new long form video! New format because I'm 100% focusing on a new album
@@polymodular Excellent. Looking forward to the video and the album!
I kindly invite you to check the description for more info and my rationale
ciao, dove hai suonato a Milano? sto per rientrare in italia, a Milano, e vorrei partecipare a questo tipo di eventi
Milano Modulare aveva organizzato una serata alla Cascina Torchiera. Trovi altre info sul loro Instagram
@@polymodular grazie
Great video, need to watch a few times...I see you added the nautilus delay, what's the new reverb?
I'm using the FX AID by happy nerding. Sounds really good and is super customizable with different algorithms.
