My FINAL Euorack Module / Installing & Testing Euclidian Circles v2
I have been working on this new Eurorack Case for weeks. My goal has been to sync my Eurorack clock with my MPC Live to be able to generate Euclidian Rhythms in time with my beats. I quickly realized the Qu-Bit Pulsar was not going to cut it due to the issues with resetting with a clock. Luckily I picked up the VPME.DE Euclidian Circles v2 and this thing is exactly what I was hoping for!

The possibilities with the MPC are endless while maintaining a certain level of control, ultimately enhancing creativity. Listen...

After quite a few vids, you're the one who increased my understanding so that I could solve my issue. Thank you. Really well presented. I think my only tiny suggestion is to use an interface that is more common for newbies - A Scarlett or an M-Audio Air - but really, that's fairly trivial. Nicely done Brent.
