Wow! This is so rad. Been considering getting into modular for a bit now-this is such a great resource and inspiration for how powerful putting the right set of modules together can be.
Thanks for posting :)))

[@ryanscott1469]

Thanks so much! Happy you found it helpful Harrison.

[@rayderrich]

The idea of creating patches from a Tiny Synth is very educational and fun, thank you!

[@AttackRelease1]

Glad you think so!

[@ScottofOakland]

More tiny synth videos with different modules please! Great stuff even if the video is a little dark!

[@PortSleep]

Totally agree 👍 for someone who's just getting interested in eurorack such videos are really useful & entertaining

[@Requiemization]

Great video, and great patch! I love seeing videos of smaller, focused systems like this.

[@AttackRelease1]

Thanks Zach! I’m definitely going to keep doing them. Easier to follow and helps me dial in learning my modules while I’m at it!

[@mentaluntildawn2412]

This was so cool. I love to see what other people can come up with by using certain modules that I don't have. Always helps to get the creative juices flowing.

[@AttackRelease1]

Thank you! Happy you liked it, and I appreciate the feedback. What brought you to the channel?

[@mentaluntildawn2412]

@@AttackRelease1 I actually found your video in my recommend. I've been trying to find more creators who explore modular synthesis and I think RUclips is just clueing in on that.

[@ultraturbo]

Instant sub. I think your smooth sounds and describing as you go is a great way to show off modular systems. Keep it up!

[@AttackRelease1]

Thank you!

[@telegraph_hill]

great video. i love how you build the patch from scratch.

[@AttackRelease1]

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback; will be doing many more of these.

[@NICUofficial]

patching from scratch is so satisfying both for the musician and the listener IMO, completely agree from both sides of the table!

[@thomas_dries]

Your smooth and informative narration is so good man! Instant sub, the modular synth community can be really complex, I appreciate videos like this. Calm, steady, to the point. I'm off to go look at your other videos, keep up the great work!

[@AttackRelease1]

Thanks so much for saying that(and subscribing!). More to come.

[@telegraph_hill]

07:00 great mini tutorial on Marbles. yay!

[@MarteenMayjer]

This was really enjoyable to watch. Nice mix of chill, great, straight-to-the-point instruction wtih really pretty ambient music. Instant sub :)

[@rexcellencemagee6729]

Wow, you’ve got some great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@AttackRelease1]

Much appreciated - glad you enjoyed it.

[@nx01craig]

Very cool compact system! Awesome patching!

[@AttackRelease1]

Thank you! More to come.

[@bobmichelle]

Wonderful video, thanks. Planning a small system here... this helps a lot, now I'm sure I need Marbles ;)

[@AttackRelease1]

Glad you enjoyed it.
You definitely need Marbles. 😉

[@dennywhite]

Would binge so many more of these!

[@AttackRelease1]

Awesome - great to hear. New one coming tomorrow!

[@TangoDelta70]

Excellent!

[@mousymagazine]

lovely. the palette is such a perfect case. I have a Mimeophon in mine as well!

[@AttackRelease1]

Thank you! You really can't go wrong with a Mimeophon. :)

[@G0nz0uk]

I love this, I'm trying to get into modular, I hope you do more of these tiny setup videos.

[@AttackRelease1]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I think I will.

[@GrvMUSIC4U]

I just love ♥️watching these videos

[@AttackRelease1]

Thank you!

[@djformalin]

Interesting....thx 🎼

[@AttackRelease1]

Thank you!

[@mxa-sound]

fark moi that thing looks coota

[@rodiscie]

what’s the cost of this set up?

[@AttackRelease1]

Retail, over $2k, but the modular used market is huge. I probably paid closer to $1k for this. There’s less expensive options too (DIY module build kits is a route a lot of folks take).

[@oracle-0018]

You could build something way cheaper like using a marbles clone and say tip top reverb and get way more versatility out of a oscillator like the bastl pizza! You would also be left with a lot more space!
I understand if you transferred these modules from a larger case though. I guess bargaining is not on the top of a lot of people’s list!

[@AttackRelease1]

For sure! I have some clones, but got rid of some as I like working with the larger, original MI designs a little more. I am also pulling them from my large case where I have plenty of room - makes it a fun challenge building these small systems! :)

[@SpikedCollar666]

Nice. Prob only like 2500 dollars right? lol.

[@AttackRelease1]

Give or take. There's cheaper ways into it like building your own modules, but I'm pretty bad at that. 😊

[@proptosis2682]

How much is this thang bro

[@AttackRelease1]

Ehh, let’s not talk about that. 🤫😜
