@@ShakmatModular I’ll definitely subscribe to you! Really new and unique! At this point, coming up with something this exciting must be challenging! Well done! 🎉
Was listening to this in the background for a moment but had to check back in because I was wondering why a module would be named "Night Scallop" .... now I get it lol
Your modular videos always bring me joy. Had to disassemble my system and only the case is left by now. Itching to get back into Modular with a fresh approach sometime!
Waiting to hear back from them. "My academic background is music theory and composition. I think of -and use- modular synthesis in an orchestral manner. However, I do not “generally” write diatonic music. As much as we all hate labels, I write “neo-serial primitivism” (the twelve-tone serialism of Schoenberg , the rhythm and ostinati of Stravinsky, combined). The Bard Quartet interests me. I have a few questions: 1) • “User editable microtuning capabilities”. “it includes highly customisable Microtuning and Arpeggiator options”. I take this to mean I can take a series of pitches and detune certain notes to be quarter tones. Eg. C ¼ sharp. Do I understand this correctly? Can I do that? I would like to explore Arabic Maqam(s). Is this possible? 2) “The Bard Quartet composes and sings along with your complex harmonies!” I understand this to mean that I may take a tetrachord (a collection of 4 non-diatonic pitches) and have it “navigate through 8 customisable harmonic progressions”. Eg. C,E flat, E natural, F sharp -- E, G, Gsharp, A sharp -- B, D, D sharp, F natural. Do I have this right? Can I do that?
At 7:21 the bells decided that they would play Moonlight Sonata ruclips.net/video/5GOE3w2ZUrQ/видео.html Honestly, I could probably be listening to bass+bells progression evolving for hours
@@suturesound Makes me wonder if there are any modules whose sole purpose is to multiplex one input to multiple outs just so you don't *have* to stack 'em!
This is really rad
😘
I love modular in general but I gotta say the art and panel designs on eurorack are unparalleled. This rack is so pretty! Like Aurora 😍
Aurora is gorgeous with the way they did those lights!
I love all of shakmat's modules. They're all so deep in scope but super playable and compact!
Thank you for writing this as it is exactly the goal w try to achieve!
That's what they where designed for ! I own 4 knights gallops and i doubt any trigger generator can compete with them !

Haha sounds like a great module
Never knew a Plonk could sound so much like a cello!
Wonderful Patch 👍. I'm very pleased to have found your patch on this channel, Andrew.
Not a wasted unit. That’s super satisfying. Great choices. I don’t think to use so many fx but it’s a treat. Great stuff
Oh man I associate you so much with fx though haha. Prime Time on everything??? 😄
ha. I suppose you're right! AMS, time modulator, Infernal machine, Prime time, H3000. My 80s roots! lol I just need to shrink them to euro size :)
Modular really feels like magic while looking like a spaceship, the best combo. And this is another patch I could listen to for hours!
❤❤❤❤ oh wow
always love to see a new upload on this channel:)
Thank you for this fantastic walkthrough, and also the beautiful and mysterious finished music.
Watching this while eating chia pudding thanks Andrew! 👌🏻
One of the coolest generative music breakdowns. Sounds fantastic as well.
Ooooh love the patch! Nicely timed! Definitely looking at the Bard Quartet for the harmony function.

A mix of random and repetitive with unsynced modulation shifting things around - always nice!
It amazes me how you can keep track of all this and sequence a pathway through all these devices so that cool sounds come out.
Well you always go one cable at a time!
Noise Plethora wants to get involved!
Modular is amazing 🤩 great patch Andrew.
Love these patch breakdowns! As always, im very inspired
Can we get a 20 minute video of this one? Would love to listen to this longer
Sick!
This patch minus the ascending and descending melody would be awesome for background music.
Super interesting patch! 👌
Waiting to hear back from them.

do you have a video where the music just plays with no voice. would love to zone out to a long form version of this patch!
Yes! Same!
love this
great explanation. thanks!
oh I am close to first. Thanks as always Andrew!
Ohhh it sounds so good after hearing Sams new Sausage- Synthesizer …
Dude, how have you managed to tune the 2HP Bell and C&P with each other and your other voices in this patch?
Just by ear
@@suturesound Thank you for the reply. I find the tiny pots near impossible for specific tunings. It's good to know it's possible though.
Insane
NICE
the chord progression reminds me of something out of Portal 2

why does it honestly sound like a viola/cello at times
Plonk is a physical modeling module so it’s probably exciting a string type thing in that example
@@bcornels interesting, also I checked out some of your music and I dig the weirdness
@@PebsBeans oh thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed
I’m imagining having each panel fed into an AI computer to see what it would come up with! Probably millions of possible patches!
That stack of stackcables on the clock is giving me so much anxiety right now
4 IS MY MAX

@@zairadile Yeah, somebody should design something like that. 😇 Kidding on ya…. They exist. Called a multiple.
Alright this eurorack case's puzzle was solved, time to put it on the shelf and build a new one! 🙂
