Rainmaker and Chill

- The Intellijel Rainmaker is a 16 step spectral rhythm delay and comb resonator. That's a fancy way of saying "crazy echo". It's deep and wonderful, and I want to show it to you, so we'll use Morphagene to send it some samples and turn small sounds into swirling rhythmic wonderlands.

i know nothing about making music or what any of those buttons or dials do, but something about listening to someone who knows what they're doing talking about something they're passionate about will always be soothing. i don't know how much it means coming from a scrub like me, but you make great work!
“Nice, my modular system is in a good spot. Don’t need any new modules for a while. Phew.”
Jeremy: 🤗
This could not be better timed!
I never thought I'd want to get into modular but this video... I get a porter robinson vibe from that chopped piano.
The music in here is completely hypnotic, I've just had this video on a loop for like three days
It's such a lovely combo ❤️❤️
I'm glad you tweeted this! RUclips wouldn't have told me.
You made me get a Subharmonicon, got me on the verge on getting into modular and I'm not even mad about that.
Yesss, I love Rainmaker, it's such a gorgeous piece of kit. Beautiful stuff here.
That’s one of the coolest fuckin modules I’ve ever seen. I can only imagine what kinda glitter realms I could fall into with the Ensemble Oscillator + Rainmaker + Mimeophon. And here I thought I was planning to focus on techno lol
Techno can use that kind of magic
I don't understand everything but your vid always kind of relax me. Everything is so smooth and the way you create music from scratch is mesmerising, seems almost magical sometimes ✨
Perfect timing, just snagged one of these last week
I needed that daily dose of RMR. Thanks!
Cool sounds, have the rainmaker for a few months now and I learned some stuff with your video. Also arbhar into the rainmaker is pretty crazy.
The inteligence someone had to invent such machine. Very impresive.
I see rainmaker, I click! Love what you've done with it
Oh my god that thing is so wonderful
Man, I ordered this mod in January (it's been on back-order), and I completely forgot about it until seeing your vid -- now I'm wishing it was here :( Great vid!
That visualizer is so cool
Oh wow. I don't got anything to say that hasn't been said, this thing is simply amazing.
Rainmaker was one of my first modules, many things went away from my case, but rainmaker is still there, making its way to each patch
i'm curious what your first modules were? i'm thinking of getting a Rainmaker in a Palette with a Plonk. :)
@@wouterandeweg8386 that's a good combo! But you'll need a sequencer for the plonk, take a look at 1U steppy. My first sequencer was metropolis
You're so talented man... Kudos.
beautiful stuff man
You're a badass! Thank you for sharing this with us
It’s videos like this that make me wish I had money
Get a job
@Fralorgrafon or you could quit being a negative nancy pointing out every possible circumstance that could fall upon someone and learn to budget instead of whining on youtube
A little compassion goes a long way. This guy could live in a favela and have a chronic illness which keeps him from being able to work. Thing is you don't know. Get some compassion!
@@anthonytamez170 My mother is paralyzed waist-down. Since I’m still under 18 and don’t have my own bills to pay, I’m putting all the money I make into taking care of her, or saving for the future. Once I turn 18 and child support stops coming in, I don’t know what I’m going to do.
I wasn’t whining, I was simply wishing. There’s not much else I can do but wish. Sorry you didn’t know that previously.
Thanks for this. I knew when I finally dove down the modular rabbit hole, a Rainmaker was definitely one of the modules I had to have. So far, I have mostly only fiddled with modulating presents and randomized settings, but your dive into the comb made me realize I have only scratched the surface.
despite other videos making it sound awesome, this is the first video to properly sell me on rainmaker by showing me not only what it does but also how it does. I always imagined it being way more menu dive-y than this. one improvement i can think of if intellijel decide to do a revision is to add more trigger inputs. being able to randomise different things with different signals, or even just use the different triggers in different ways would kill for me at least, especially if you could set trigger A to randomise what triggers B and C do.
Nice work Jeremy! You created some really lovely tones and textures out of Rainmaker and give a good sense of how mesmerizing it can be to explore all the parameters to completely transform an input signal. The Piles label on your unit was changed to Stacks pretty early on, so that's why the menu doesn't match the label on your panel. You must have got a really early unit!
Brings in Rainmaker..... and...... sold!
Thanks - your demo was enlightening ..
Great vid man
Nice work on this beast :)
Very Very nice !!!
your voice and videos have such a calming effect to me i love it
Wow amazing! I'm always blown away at how you so quickly interact with every piece of gear I've seen you with.
I'm especially impressed with this cool run through/jam with Rainmaker.
Your like "Dr Spock" mind melding with gear, yeah that's what it's like!!!
ASMR as interpreted by RMR. Lovely!
You made me buy this jewel❤
Almost twenty years ago I had native instruments Spektral Delay plug in.
It was my favorite effect.
Really computer based audio was never as dynamic for me as that one effect.
I used to stay up until dawn just exploring.
It was discontinued long ago.
However I hear that song again in this instrument.
the raimaker is not just a dealy... to me thats a synth. one of the deepest modules i've ever heard. souns sooooo beautiful!!!!
bUt iTs NoT a SoUnD SoUrCe
@@xenostim i know it isn't but it can act like a huge syntgh with a lil amount of Audio. beside erbe verb my fav effect module!
I can only just imagine if the early dub music makers in Jamaica got hold of this! They found other primitive ways to create similar sound outputs!
your comment on destructive randomization - could create a preset as a home base so you can go deep with edits and always have the preset to fall back on
super nice
Amazing textures, wow. Recently picked one up and I'm still in the learning phase - gotta explore the comb section some more :)
ok damn, that tap mute/pitch thing is genius.
the GЛИТЧ-3 makes this video look like it's yours lol
im watching through a ton of your videos right now at work, much chill and vibe
Not many Rainmaker demos out there. It’s good to see you tackle this Leviathan of a module.
I need to get some of them Pods!
That's an art machine
I want this.
It really good
Still always surprised seeing you on the modular side of RUclips. And they said Infinity War was the boldest crossover event...
That Rainmaker + Morphagene combo seems really solid. I'm always thinking about messing sounds up with the Morphagene but I never do! I should change that...
...twiddeling knobs on the Rainmaker while watching this video. Have it as a hardware-insert to process sounds using LUNA. This thing is complex, weird, wonderful and special.
Yes Excellent sound design tool. An entire modular device in and of itself. It has taken dozens of hours returning to it over months to really understand it. But it's wonderful. Consider adding another delay and or reverb pedal after , subtle , for wonderful Ambient soundscapes ( I adapted the crazy notion of stacking delays from Ambient Guitar guy Chords of Orion ) . I use an Eventide or Specular Tempus ....as I'm not that deep into modular. Try taming the preset modulations or slowing the ping pong X-fades ...... THEN add simple tape delay or dig delay pedal later in fx chain.. 👍🏽😄❗️ My Rainmaker is in a 72hp Intellijel case with an old Maths for envelopes and a generic LFO. I use periodically w real acoustic instruments or simple synth motifs. True Modular heads have so much other gear that they probably don't dedicate the time to dig into this piece of kit.
Very cool! Love these sounds. Also, you need more black hex-head screws!!! :)
cooooooool.
I want to send you more knurlies. Beauteous vid and module Jeremy.
Jesus Christ. Rainmaker is pretty much everything you want for FX. If I would of come across this before purchase all other fox modules to do exactly this- I would of saved $$$
genius thanks a lot :)
At a couple points it reminded me of the ringtone in the kotor games
It's kind of like a eurorack Cocoquantas when used as you do, which is good news.
oh for fuck's sake. now i want that too.
did I say "that"? I meant both the morphagene AND the rainmaker...
wow.
Less than one minute in and I’m like...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hmm, human music. I like it!
Sold one of these a long time ago. Maybe its time for a buy back..
just changing the pitch at the end.. im sure this is how minecraft music was made. lol but that randomizer by itself is mad. if you could have a randomizer for pitch thatd be super powerful
Man my wallet cries when it hears your voice. :D
man that is gorgeous, where did you get the reel from? I'm thirsty for some of that =))
Yo you pitched the shit out of those pitches
Awesome stuff! I would love to see if we could get your rainmaker presets, perhaps as like a patreon thing. Cheers!
Rainmaker is weird because I can't use any presets made by anyone else. The presupposition of clock inputs and the way that modulation changes it is so deeply personal.
I wanna hear SWN through the Rainmaker. Highly interested in using the combo together
Check out my video on quad quantizers
Someone on the synth diy subreddit just posted 3D printable 2HP SD card holder blanks. Having one of those with a bunch of morphagene reels on different SD cards would set this system off.
That's an awesome idea
Even better: having a bunch of reels on the same SD card. 🤔
Thank god Intellijel cant make more of these modules, I didnt want it anyways....
great video! I love to use delays in a performance and play with them a lot. how playable is this? does the complexity make it more for programming and dont touch? seems to be a lot of button pressing and menu diving, but this sounds like such a good ambient machine!
Hey - been watching your stuff for quite some time, and I'm really enjoying your modular videos. I'm about to take the plunge into eurorack and the rainmaker is one of the reasons why. Only problem is - I can't for the life of me find any available online to purchase. Is there a similar module you can recommend? Or is this really a one-of-a-kind type deal?
Unfortunately the modular maker world has been hit incrediblly hard by the manufacturing slowdown that's affecting all industries right now. We have to wait for the world to get back to equilibrium. Find a shop you like and ask for an email update on when they'll get more. Look for them used, too.
@@RedMeansRecording Thanks Jeremy -- I did as you suggested today and the shop expects to have them in stock mid-may, which is not a bad wait at all given the supply chain disruptions. They put me on a waiting list. Thanks for your advice, sir, it worked out!
In the comb filter section, what sample are you using?
"i hope you're just.. wet." lmao. great video man, this thing seems cool
This seems to be the most complete tap delay up to date. The only thing I am missing right now are some send and return jacks for the feedback path.
Sometimes my feelings just cries out: This is way too much taps for every mix. But of course you can reduce the number. Man I really hope they will release a version 2 with send & return.
Thanks for a great video.
Do you know any other eurorack tap delays besides this one and Strymon Magneto, which includes send & return, but seems to be working in mono in some situations?
Best Video for Rainmaker I have seen. Was about to sell mine. But not anyway 🙂
i don't think i'll ever sell mine
@@RedMeansRecording Love mine now. As you say suddenly it just clicks how it works. It's actually quite simple if you give it a fair chance.
That Paratek module tho...
35:30 - Jeez Jeremy, buy us a drink first hey?
Almost gave up on it 😇
This setup is amazing. I am wondering if there would be a way to add some type of drums into the setup? I am totally new to modular, but extremely fascinated.
Yeah definitely. Lots of ways. Best way would be some midi and a digitakt or something like that.
Would have purchased one through your link, but they’re out of stock :(
Thank you very much, excuse my ignorance but can rainmaker be used on it's own without the other two units by just running audio samples through it from say a sp404 and secondly do I need a Seperate case and power supply in order to get it working?
Not really no. There are delays that are meant for that stuff that aren't Eurorack
Someone should make a pitch shifting dirt pedal called pitch shitter.
Is this some kind of individual or single power boxes (racks) in to which the modules are mounted?
I believe it's one of the 4ms pod cases
This is just an ASMR channel now
Could a workaround for the lack of "undo" be to save your patch as a preset and then recall it if you make any changes? (like after hitting randomize, could you just reload the preset?)
Yeah!
How did you get so good?!
Practice :)

What's the module between Rainmaker and Morphagene?
It's a 3 channel visualizer called GЛИТЧ-3 from Paratek
Description updated
@@13_gh0sts Knowing nothing about Eurorack, I was guessing “Gahty” was some type of audio gate generator, similar to Bram Bos Perferator for iOS .. Lol I was off by miles.
Quick question, what's that module to the left of rainmaker, just passed the blank panels, I cant seem to find it anywhere and I'm not quite sure what it is!
Check out Paratek
@@RedMeansRecording Thanks!
I wish he would stop talking so I can go buy this immediately.
What's the module in front of Rainmaker
I think you are secretly making explosives w these machines 😃
No secrets here, It's definitely blowing my mind.
😐😐😐😐 “Let’s go ahead and bring in rainmaker....”😃😃😃😃
"I hope you're wet" are words I did not think someone would say to me today
What is that module next to the rainmaker
It's a visual module by paratek. It's entirely cosmetic and just used to visualise signals.
Whats the module at the far left?
Pamela's new workout
something for thom yorke
Yes
thm
omg its kinda like minecraft :)
Ngl you could just release the music of this video alone. Label it ambient and bang there's an ep. Thank me later
