Hi there! As you can probably tell from my videos I love the Ovum! It’s been in pretty much every video since I got it. I have it permanently plumbed into the Wingie resonator - that is a great combo I highly recommend. The knobs do fit over the top of the originals and they have a little screw to secure them. I got them from thepihut.com. There’s loads of different colours. Not sure if it allows links in comments but if it does, this link will take you to the orange ones I bought: thepihut.com/products/orange-micro-potentiometer-knob-4-pack Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated!

@@seanelliotmusic cheers! I find those tiny knobs on the Ovum to be a bit fiddly, so getting these as an add on would make that easier.

They do make tuning easier but because of the wide pitch range of the Ovum it can still be a bit fiddly to get it to the pitch you want.

That’s very kind of you! Glad you like it. I plan on releasing it as a track to stream/purchase very soon so be sure to check my Bandcamp page within next few days! Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated!

Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated!

That’s very kind. Thank you. Much appreciated!

Thank you! That is greatly appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated. I can highly recommend 2x MicroFreaks going into a stereo pedal, like the Zoom MS70 I use here. It is quite a bit different to just having the bigger MiniFreak, for example. 2 independent but synced sequencers is a hugely useful tool! Thanks for commenting

Hi! It was a while ago but as far as I can remember I had the Matriarch going into it via a stereo send from the mixer which is how I normally have my pedals set up. No other effects applied. Dry Matriarch into PolyMoon. No EQ - you’re listening to a direct to stereo recording which is how I normally record stuff. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting!

It is based on Maggot Brain, yes. Well spotted. Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Thank you! Glad you like it. Thanks for commenting.

That’s very kind of you. Thank you. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting!

Thank you. Very kind. Thanks for commenting. Much appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

No problem. Some of it is for my own records - I’ll often not remember how I had it setup unless I write a fairly detailed description at the same time! Thanks for commenting.

Haha! Yes it is. Well spotted. He’s the Welsh Elvis! It was a Christmas gift from my brother to remind me that I really liked Shakin Stevens when I was younger.

Yes I’ve definitely used that a lot previously. I do like the extra sauce the Voices algorithm adds though. Thanks for commenting - much appreciated!

No Worries

Thank you. Much appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated. Yes there is something very appealing about the Ovum’s basic approach. It definitely comes alive with effects.

They are a great combination. I’ve used them pretty much constantly since getting them. Glad I could help! Thanks for commenting.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you! Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.

Nice setup. I’ve looked at the ROAT - I’m tempted! I am holding out for the forthcoming Stylophone Drone synth though - that looks very nice and is hopefully released soon. Thanks for the kind words and for commenting, much appreciated.

@@seanelliotmusic i wasn’t sold on the ROAT initially as most online content is focused on the mad bit crushed insanity it produces. I found some vids showing the more drone and ambient focussed stuff. If you don’t start randomising everything it’s easy to tame and can sound amazing. Yeah I’ve got my name down for the Stylophone drone too 😄

Huh! That’s interesting because I thought the ROAT could only really do wild stuff like you mentioned. I’ll have another look then…

@@seanelliotmusic at its very basic it’s an Ovum with 4 voices that can have multiple wave and LFO shapes as well as individual rates which makes for some elaborate droning 👍🏼

@Lo-Fi-Si thanks. Will look into it!

No worries. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting!

I love it too. Considering it’s one of the cheaper things I’ve purchased I’m getting a lot of mileage out of it! Thanks for commenting!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated.

If you’re referring to the white wooden box with 5 faders, that’s not a mixer. It’s the Ovum drone synth by CrowsElectroMusic. It has 5 oscillators that you can pitch individually and bring in/out with the faders. If you mean the mixer in the eurorack, it’s 2x ALM Tangle Quartets. Thanks for commenting!

Ha! I have the opposite problem. My stuff rarely has a lead or melody in it so it can be a bit ‘aimless’! Glad you like it. Thanks for commenting - much appreciated.

@@seanelliotmusic I’ve purchased a delay/reverb pedal for the Microfreak to see if it will slow me down lol

Yes the MicroFreak leaps into a different beast with delay/reverb on it. Definitely needs it, a bit too raw otherwise.

The Wingie is excellent fun. Only recently discovered the arpeggio feature on some of the modes. Still exploring it but it works so well with the Ovum - another low cost fun machine! I’m finding it difficult to stop using it in this setup! Tip: I’ve taken a photo of the instructions on the bottom so its easier to refer to what the different modes do. Thanks for commenting - much appreciated!

Thank you! Much appreciated!

You forgot to add “imho”. Did you know that if you don’t like something you can just move on and find something else you do like. There’s plenty of room for everyone. Thanks for commenting though, I’ll be sure to check your stuff out to see what I’m doing wrong.

Hi! Can’t tell if you’re asking because you know it’s Maggot Brain or if you’re asking because you don’t know what Maggot Brain is from my description. If it’s the latter, it’s a track by the band Funkadelic with a pretty epic guitar solo. Worth checking out if you’ve never heard it. That’s what this basic arpeggio pattern is based on. Thanks for commenting!

@@seanelliotmusic The chord changes made me think of that song. I was wondering if you were in that MB state of mind. Its the first song I play when checking out a new delay pedal.

You are exactly correct. It is a copy of the Maggot Brain arpeggio. I thought I had already mentioned that in the description but I just double checked and I haven’t. Therefore, you win one Sean Elliot Music Fun Token for spotting the link. Well done! Thanks for commenting!

Thank you!

Thank you! Much appreciated. I agree it’s so much fun. I’m surprised how inspiring it’s been. Feeding it through different effects and in this case the Wingie it has had me lose hours just getting lost in its droney goodness!

Thank you!

Thanks. Much appreciated!

Thank you. Much appreciated!

De rien Merci beaucoup, très reconnaissant !

Hi there. Thank you for the kind comments - much appreciated! Yes, the audio is recorded separately. What you’re hearing is the stereo out from my mixer recorded direct to a Tascam X8 portable recorder as a stereo mix. I then manually sync it back up with the video in Davinci Resolve which is what I use to edit the videos. I also record the individual multitrack outs at the same time to a computer so I have the option of remixing it later if I want - that’s how I make the tracks I release via Bandcamp etc.

@@seanelliotmusic Thank you for such a detailed response. 🙏 I really appreciate your time and giving such a detailed explanation. Can't wait to see what further videos pop up on your channel as a Moog matriarch grandmother and sound studio 3 owner myself

@@seanelliotmusic If I may ask one more question, how are you able to individually record every instrument? With my audio interface I only have two inputs.

@greenvelvet I use a digital mixer - an Allen & Heath SQ5 - this gives me 32 inputs and outputs over USB. I can route anything coming into the mixer to one or more of those USB ports. I then use a program called “RecAll” on my iMac which just acts as an audio recorder for anything coming in from the mixer’s USB ports. An SQ5 is ridiculously overpowered for what I use it for but I got it at a very good price a few years ago pre-covid before the prices went up a stupid amount. There’s other (cheaper) mixers that offer ‘multitrack out’ over USB. Hope that helps!

@@seanelliotmusic massive help. Cheers and thank you 🙏

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Thank you!

Thank you! Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

Ha! That was last year. Haven’t managed any this year. Boo. Hopefully will have a new video within the next week.

@@seanelliotmusic oh i didnt even notice... The algos like to slip me older content it seems haha... No worries... I havnt performed live in 20 years or even recorded an official song in over a decade haha... Either way I like your sounds...

@@seanelliotmusic Just ordered the OXI one and looking at a lot of OXI content so makes sense actually that i was brought here I suppose haha...

No worries. Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated! Feel free to ask any questions about Oxi One. I’ll try my best to answer.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

It’s a Soundcraft Spirit Notepad. Long since discontinued. I’ve had that for years. It’s been brought out of retirement here temporarily for this setup. There’s similar mixers that will do the same thing. Nearly all mixers have a mono aux send (unless you use 2) with a stereo return which is what is in use here. My main setup has a digital mixer that allows multiple stereo aux sends which is how everything else is wired up. The MOOG rig will be integrated into that over the next few weeks but I need to rearrange a bunch of stuff first.

@@seanelliotmusic cool, thanks , still trying to find the right one that will work for my system , not quite sure about it yet, needs to be compact for sure though.
