Buying this to pair with Harmonaig for 3rd/5th/7th and maybe use Synth Tech E340 Cloud Generator or something else for root. Never imagined I could have nice full chords in my modular rig yet here we are. What a time to be alive!
What would the Eurorack community do without you ? Thanks for another great review, didn’t feel like a commercial despite being sponsored. Most likely not a module for me but the video is still keeping me entertained, teaching me stuff and inspiring new ideas, all signs of great content. Stay awesome, mate !
Damn, that's an insanely good polyphony-to-price ratio for a single module. Definitely not for me since I'm allergic to supersaw, but thanks for the great review. :)
Just picked up a used copy last week, came here looking for ideas. The "Beautiful Cinematic Chords" section sounds straight up like a scene out of Twin Peaks. Very nice
This module kicks ass! Same for the Navigator, so happy there are kits for the navigator now too!! I’m building a small case of all navigators so I can use it for performance control 🤘
Check out the Michigan Synth Works XVI which is a nice build of the 16n faderbank. There's also the F8R which is 8 channels instead of 16, and does CV / Midi / i2c.
saw chainsaw and really hoped it had something to do with the boss HM-2 type sound lol. oh well. very cool module though and the paraphony is sorely needed in eurorack
Spotted a Joranalogue Generate 3 off to the side. I can’t wait to get my hands on that module. Love Joranalogue! Hopefully we’ll get to hear your thoughts on it soon?
Back on-topic, the Chainsaw sounds great! 3 voices, 21 oscillators!?! Wow. I enjoyed Acid Rains’ recent appearance on the Podular Modcast (overcast.fm/+MhQrL_4HI)
Really helpful video… maybe this is the oscillator module I've been waiting for. Hey, what's the "Navigator" next to the chainsaw? EDIT: Figured it out it's also Acid Rain
Hey Ben just came across this! In 2024 are there any comparably priced polyphonic modules out there? I’m sured it would be priced up but does an analog polyphonic module exist?? 😮😅✌️
for analogue and polyphonic there's Saich from Instruo (Chainsaw is digital - not that I'm making statements about one over the other) ruclips.net/video/2N9DRlIl3m8/видео.htmlsi=6b6z3fYXmQZ5d0tu
I can't be certain module wise after all this time but I am certain specific modules aren't important to doing it. The way I nearly always patch a side chain is to take a copy of the gate that is my kick drum rhythm, trigger an envelope with that, invert the envelope, patch the sound I want to side chain or duck into the input of a VCA, open the VCA with the manual level controls so sound passes at full level, then patch the inverted envelope CV into the VCA CV input and that will reduce the VCA level each time the kick plays. Fine tune the envelope decay time to set the right feel and adjust CV amount in the VCA too. Hope that helps.
that was a prototype of the Synthesis Technology E520 FX module. There's a video with the prototype here - ruclips.net/video/1-lTv8LouBU/видео.html Final unit here - ruclips.net/video/YDwjH44rOwA/видео.html
Yoo thats a nice Module, i cant decide on Demon Core, Knobular cinematic, or Chainsaw tho. I am looking for warm analog sound tho and seems demon core sounds quite harsh.
This kind of module always gets me. My mind instantly says it sounds better than say Serum. But does it? It's a digital oscillator just the same. Any other mainly DAW ppl hear the same?
I JUST got my CHAINSAW !!!! 👍😁 What module did you use to split the Keystep output into the CVs for the Chainsaw 'BEAUTIFUL Cinematic Chords"? @ ruclips.net/video/-FXsXyBQQfw/видео.html Couldn't qUiTe make out what you said, and my poor search skills aren't helping.... 🙄
The manual says the seven oscillators are split evenly between the two, L & R, channels. This does not sound like mathematics, given that seven is, generally speaking, an odd number. Does anyone know what really happens? What's the difference between the outputs? (I'm afraid I can't read such complex Lissajous curves.)
Great vid, as with all of your vids, it is appreciated, all the work you put into keeping them concise and thorough, and still entertaining.. Many thx! Oh, and I thought I’d mention, I really wanted to hit “Like”, but I couldn’t bring myself to dissent those three 6’s giving the appearance of such well balanced harmony. It’d be a shame to dishevel such an eye catching sequence of numerals.. Let this inform you that I indeed do ‘like’ this video!.! (I understand it won’t help the algorithm at all, but sometimes we have to stand for the greater good of such things! Besides I’ll just hit “like” upon a future revisit after someone who, not to be bothered with such things, dilligently contributes to the cause as well the discord of this pages ‘like-counter’ status..)..-wow, I’ve bored myself at this point, goodbye.
Supersaws and super pulses don't scream acid to me.. Single oscillator saw or square was acid (in terms of the original 303). Certainly down to hear some supersaw acid if you have some examples. I've got "acidic" in filter demos with big detuned sounds but just didn't cross my mind.
@@DivKid I would need to make a patch in serum as that’s the only synth I have capable of super saws/squares. I have a TD-3 but it’s only one so can’t poly chain. Hmm 🤔 I will see if any one else thought of super acid.
@@DivKid lol even more intriguing then. Still can’t find examples, I guess it’s up to the individuals to experiment. Lol have fun DivKid, I know I will wuhahaha..
I don't think I've bought a module so quickly. Heard 15 seconds of the super saw and that was it. Rave sauce on my party burrito.
This is a fucking stupid comment.
@@xaviermccloud4586 I think you meant this one
@@xaviermccloud4586 You're a stupid comment.
P
That last patch sounds so lovely.
Damn! The chords at the end are so freaking beautiful! 😍
So, now you have our own chainsaw, how you like it?
effiksmusic I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship! 😜
Who doesn't love a super saw. Very nice in a small rack too. Thanks for the video.
This module is insane for the size...wow.

Well, it'd keep my wallet intact for one thing! 🙄😏😉
The Chainsaw sounds fabulous running through the 0-Coast low pass gate.
Damn, that's an insanely good polyphony-to-price ratio for a single module. Definitely not for me since I'm allergic to supersaw, but thanks for the great review. :)
chords with three patch cables... daaamn!
Insane module for 4hp. Wow.
Hopefully they are back in stock soon
Truly fabulous module, simple and, dare I say, gawjuss.
Excellent review, thank you very much!
Wow, that is interesting! Sounds great!
This little buggar sounds huge!!

Oh you made me laugh : ) The music you made brought me right back to some 90's happy times : D
And the ending, perfect ending for a film...
Great overview, thanks. I like a lot when you let us hear the raw sounds, with or without effects/filters, etc.
Definitely important for things to now be drowned in FX, unless the FX are the thing to focus on of course.
@@DivKid and wet/dry comparisons are good to have there too, specially with buffers/drives, etc..
Ooooooh boy. For megavoice/supersaw stuff this looks like it could fight with the Demon Core DCO...
Astounding ! 🥇
Sounds great. Hard to believe all those different sounds from such a small module.
saw chainsaw and really hoped it had something to do with the boss HM-2 type sound lol. oh well. very cool module though and the paraphony is sorely needed in eurorack
lush ennit
Simple and elegant. Love it, definitely getting

Wow... that's some crunchy phat stuff... nice.
Just seen MUTES !!! Congratualtions @DivKidVideo...ordering one for my birthday this month :)
Wow, you get a lot of timbres out of that little module. (: Cheers!
Just ordered! Thanks for the video :) have the Saich. But think this is more me! And simpler plus a $200 in the bank from the sell✌️
Sounds great and I just ordered mine.
This really sounds amazing.
Damn. 11:40 is incredible. Really need that octave transposer module now... How is the sequence being played?
3:30 ... jesus moment! So tiny module, that broad sound!
What are you using for drums?
Really helpful video… maybe this is the oscillator module I've been waiting for.
Hey, what's the "Navigator" next to the chainsaw? EDIT: Figured it out it's also Acid Rain
Andi Mcc the navigator is an awesome module! Great for performance control

Which component do you use to create the sidechain at 5:15 minutes?
I can't be certain module wise after all this time but I am certain specific modules aren't important to doing it.

Fine tune the envelope decay time to set the right feel and adjust CV amount in the VCA too.
Hope that helps.
What envelope modules are you using to modulate the State 700 MK2 and the SpiceVFC? Solid video by the way, as always.
would love to see you review the demon core oscillator
Great review, picked one up. What’s that blue bare PCB desktop synth looking thing just above the keyboard?
that was a prototype of the Synthesis Technology E520 FX module. There's a video with the prototype here - ruclips.net/video/1-lTv8LouBU/видео.html

Fuckin chords at the very end, sold. Sounds amazing.
Yoo thats a nice Module, i cant decide on Demon Core, Knobular cinematic, or Chainsaw tho. I am looking for warm analog sound tho and seems demon core sounds quite harsh.
Here I am still dreaming about this module at 2:50am. One day soon....
❤❤❤
4:26 Kajagoogoo chords ;)
What is the most expensive 4hp module that is in production?
awsome!!! what filter did you use on the last patch please !!! sounds so smooth. thanx
Has to be an envelope with a long attack. As he said, harmonaig is creating v/o for the chord. Sounds awesome 👍
9:51 nastyy!!!! YEAH you got me!!!!!
Awesome! BTW what mode is on data? The scope looks so cool, I couldn’t find that kindda display on mine.
Have you found out the mode yet? You need to read the manual. It’s a button hold press
Just grabbed the happy nerding wave animator a week ago and I wish I knew this module existed, would have grabbed this instead 😞.
Those string pads...!
i literally bought this 2 minutes into the video
TASTY
They Should have called the module Kevin and Perry go large! Or the KPGL
This kind of module always gets me. My mind instantly says it sounds better than say Serum. But does it? It's a digital oscillator just the same. Any other mainly DAW ppl hear the same?
everyone makes a big deal about analog oscillators... but the real big deal is analog filters!
I JUST got my CHAINSAW !!!! 👍😁

@ ruclips.net/video/-FXsXyBQQfw/видео.html
Couldn't qUiTe make out what you said, and my poor search skills aren't helping.... 🙄
I was playing a single note key on the key step and using the Instruo Harmonaig to create 4 voices of chordal harmony.
@@DivKid thank you... 👍
I suspected that. 😉
Talk about bang for the buck..

I believe one is in the center, with three on each side
@@faycarsons Ah. A confusing explanation, but it makes sense in the end. Thanks! :)
I think I read somewhere that it’s 11 on one side, and 10 on the other
11:47 . Damn.

Oh, Ben.
Are you purposely playing Radiohead-esque melodies in this video? You have at least two that I can hear.
wowwwwwwwwwwwww WANTS
269$ though :(
Leet shit!
Serum in 4hp
The cinematic chords part reminds me a lot of the end title theme for the movie Wall Street - ruclips.net/video/D4Jp5SgsNqo/видео.html
Does anyone else wince when he "points" at cables? Jacks can only take so much of that sideways force... 😬
wow, some fat sounds coming along
Acid rain _ saw waves and square waves _ where’s the acid Bro I understand it’s not a 303 but come on it’s screaming acid at you.
