Let’s take a look at Floating Knobs “Cuisine” - a new sequencer for Eurorack (either in or out of the rack) with 8 channels of Gates and 4 channels of CV for your sequencing pleasure. Pretty happy with how the music in this one turned out - some nice examples of how to get some motion into static percussion sequences using CV. Hope you enjoy - let me know in the comments what your favorite sequ...

    I love that swinging motion on this beat! Does the Cuisine have some parameter to add swing and imperfections to its timing or are you using the Flex parameter (or something similar) on Pam's to clock the sequencer this way?

    • @BrailleSounds
      @BrailleSounds 25 дней назад

      Thanks so much! I’m not sure about cuisine but I almost always set my Pam’s flex parameter to 15% or 25% swing! I find 15% works with sequencer modules that usually freak out with heavy swing. Pam’s is the best 😎

    • @FloatingKnobs
      @FloatingKnobs 24 дня назад

      Cuisine does not have a swing feature as swing can really easely be acheive using one track to internaly clock the other ones, offseting to taste one beat out of two. You could get a dynamic swing changing along you pattern or even have a "groove pool" and swap between those different grooves by just changing your clocking track pattern.

    In the realm of DUB, aint nobody using eurorack, expetion only proove the rule. I build fx for dubsters since 7 years, i was asked once if i could make a eurorack module and it never happened. but as i'm wrighting and from what i hear, maybe "DUB" doesnt mean thesame thing for every body, i hear a filtered breakbeat and 90's techno slabs,,, the term dub comes from recording, it's a remixing technique, not a production element. but once again that's where i stand from... end of vid: what do you mean by "dub" exactly?

    • @BrailleSounds
      @BrailleSounds Месяц назад

      Yooooo! I feel you - dr alimantado def wasn’t messing with eurorack ;) so in this session, I have a bunch of dry tracks - dry synth stabs, dry break beat, dry bass. I’m manually throwing them through separate delays and reverbs to basically perform the audio live. That’s my understanding of what made the legends of dub so special - they took dry stems and brought them to a new place in outer space! It’s a studio technique that blurs the line between production and performance. In terms of the eurorack gear to check - with the right filters the Make Noise Mimeophon and Erbverbe can be used to create some fairly stereotypical dub textures!

    @LuctaeMusic 2 месяца назад

    Well structured video. Excellent music too... Nice to see you how you managed to constrain your modular to kind of just self made synth, accepting the fact that you'e not utilizing its every option. It just serves a purpose. I think that's the hardest part for me incorporating my modular rig. Getting lost in finding the "right" configuration.

    • @BrailleSounds
      @BrailleSounds 2 месяца назад

      Yeah things became so much clearer when I stopped worrying about using a modular case to fulfill other people’s expectations and figured out how to use one to serve my own goals! Thanks for the kind words - anything else live performance related you’d be interested in seeing? Considering a pt 2. 😅

    • @LuctaeMusic
      @LuctaeMusic 2 месяца назад

      @@BrailleSounds Yeah I can relate to that... It's not just that though, it's also figuring out what the right configuration for yourself is. That means exploring all the functions of the modules (and combinations of modules), figuring out which ones to use and use not. I get lost in the forrest sometimes... And in the end I want to use all those functions to do justice to al the expensive modules, which results in not committing to a specific workflow that will provide musical results. I think that's a challenge with synths and gear in general, but particularly true for modular. I don' t know if you can distill a subject for a vid about that, but these are me thoughts about the subject 😎

    • @BrailleSounds
      @BrailleSounds 2 месяца назад

      ​@@LuctaeMusic I can seriously relate to this. Sometimes I feel guilty that I don't constantly redo my system but then I remember that it results in lots of music made, even if I'm not necessarily using each module to its fullest. I'll definitely try and incorporate some of your thoughts into an upcoming "how to get into modular" series I've been planning!

  • @rawsel8610
    @rawsel8610 2 месяца назад

    I do a similar thing (sans modular system). Usually my remixes tend ending up being quite the departures from the original track. I'll listen to the original track a couple of times, and then each of the stems individually, sometimes with only a couple at a time. That usually sparks and idea and then start from there building the track, and almost like sampling off of parts from the stems. But there are definitely some rules I keep: main melody lines or vocals I'll kinda keep intact, except maybe for some added fx treatment for my mix, but I will often change their placement on the arrangement. It ends up being almost a reinterpretation of the song, but it's still a remix to me.

    • @BrailleSounds
      @BrailleSounds 2 месяца назад

      Yeah I find it hard not to add new chords or melody which really take a song in a new direction. Love that you also like pushing a remix pretty far from the original! Definitely don’t need modular to do a similar thing 🙌🏽
