everyone with a Cold Mac or thinking of getting one needs to watch this.
WHO dared to put a thumbs down on this?! This is great thank you.
thanks for translating from Whimsical to Earthling! Greatly appreciated.
This is sooo helpful. I‘ve watched it twice now, once before I got a Cold Mac and once afterwards. There is so much to learn about modular synthesis. You are a fantastic teacher.... I’d love to see much more...
After telling someone I still have no idea how this thing works, they linked me this video, and I'm so glad they did. Excellent presentation and very clear. Thank you.
Legend. Thank you for putting the time and effort into making these videos
This is an invaluable explanation. Makes perfect sense now.
Honestly you probably sold more WR than the actual manufacturer! Keep up the great work and thank you for doing what you do
Thanks for taking the time! Great walkthrough!
Finally starting to get a feel for this module! Thanks
martin, many thanks for your work! i've been following your earlier documentation of cold mac but having concrete, less whimsical, procedural examples has opened it up substantially for me.
Hey, thanks for making this, it really illustrates well what the module can do !
You are a master at explaining the complex simply.
Dude this video is a fabulous overview of the module, thanks so much!
You're such a good teacher! Thanks for this.
Thank you, definitely going to get one down the road. Such an awesome and compact module.
I don't own one of these; wasn't thinking of owning one of these. This was such a great explanation that I now know that it would add so much to a system! Thank you Martin.
Unbelievable explanation, and celebration of synthesis. THANK YOU.
Great video! Have learned quite a bit and still have another 20 mins to get through! Thanks for posting!
Thanks Sooo much for this. I have been contemplating buying this module but now I can see more clearly the possibilities. Thanks again!!!!! - christian
Thankyou, fantastic information that gives me so many additional ideas- I have 2 Cold Macs
The logical mixing section reminds me of the Glue section of the Future Sound Systems OSC2 Recombination Engine. Soooo coooooool. I also patched along with you. Helped me so much!!
Thank you for the clear explanation. This video is super helpful.
Simply amazing, thank you so much. The Videos on whimsicalraps.com were somewhat helpful but this really makes me excited to get this as a utility!
This is an amazing demo and explanation , I just got my Cold Mac and I thank you for this video!! 🙏✨👍
This easily can be a lecture at electrotechnical university, thank you.
Haha! I would like to think the bar isn’t that low, but I know you’re not wrong. Feel free to send me your tuition. 😂
The most convoluted VCA ever made! (I mean that in a good way)
Great video, this really helped me understand this module. thanks
really really appreciate your work. Thanks for all the knowledge!
I've found myself accidentally coming to your videos more and more, and now that I realized it, I subscribed. You cover the modules in a reliably thorough way. And whether it's just the type that need more explaining or you're drawn to the more complicated type, I find myself interested in some of the same modules - the mystery modules. My latest is the Rossum Mob of Emus. I have some issues with it - it seems like a jack of all trades, master of none, but in spite of myself I find I keep using it, trying to learn its ins and outs. Impractical, but fun to explore.
If I understand Cold Mac correctly, the left / right pan can serve as a crossfade for both audio and cv signals. Is this correct? I don't see myself doing much panning, but crossfading - a gentle switch - would be up my alley.
Great videos. Thanks for making them.
Excellent work! Subbed.
Thanks a lot, this is super useful to understand what this module is actually about. I'd heard a few uses that I liked but couldn't grasp its misteries. I still can't comprehend the chosen nomenclature for some of its inputs though. I guess they had to have a name...
amazing video!! thank you!!
The master. The one, the only, the doudoroff.
oh, puh-leeze!
Thanks for making this.
excellent and useful!
GREAT DEMO! natural teacher :)
This is the first time I’ve watched a module tutorial video from beginning to end. I followed along with my Cold Mac and I finally understand it fully. Thank you!!
This might be the weirdest utility module ever made. Now: to think of creative patches.
The concept of “patch surveillance” suggests that you can make it do a lot of things from one input. With all the normalizations, I see how patching control voltage into survey will end up with eight permutations. Now I have to think of a patch that would benefit from 8 (mathematically, but not necessarily functionally or aesthetically related) versions of the same movement...
Also, Gil posted some to Lines with some crazy things you can do with a cold Mac and two mangroves. I’ve gotten some trippy cross modulation stuff going in that vein. I’d love to see someone (not necessarily you, you’ve labored enough already!) make a video sometime that explains those sorts of uses.
great vid
thank you thank you thank you
there are some complex oscillators with through zero FM, but they tend to have issues at exactly 0, I wonder if that is the intent behind the crease.
I can’t know for sure, but I doubt it, since I’ve never seen mention of that particular application. But I’d be intrigued to hear what can be done with CREASE and a complex oscillator!
Hi Martin, you say there is nothing useful out of follow with an audio signal? I don't own this module so I could be wrong but it seems like an envelope follower, no? It converts an audio signal into a complementary cv. Very useful for processing drum loops.
In this video, I don’t talk much about the applications of these circuits, but how they behave. In this case, I could have stated it better, but my point is just that you cannot get audio out of Follow. Yes, you can use Follow as a rudimentary envelope follower, provided its fixed slew works for your material. I generally turn to Maths for envelope following because I have more control there.
@@MartinDoudoroffLLC OK cool so you think the fixed slew makes it a bit too limited to be a go-to envelope follower. Thanks that's interesting
@@sumocloud That has been my exact experience, but I think it’s deliberately calibrated. I recommend reviewing Whimsical Raps’ “Technical Map” documentation for Cold Mac. It states the circuit matches the ARP 2600’s follower, and goes into more detail. I may be underestimating it.
@@MartinDoudoroffLLC ah that's a juicy nug. Limitations breed creativity, it's cheezy but tru
Fucking great RUclips channel playboy!
