Love it. I have a Takaab LPG on the way (although they take a long time to come from Thailand to the States apparently). I'm planning to run the OP-1 through it and trigger it with grids, see if i can spice up the OP-1's sounds!
It's pretty amazing how every single video you make about modular synths is so musical, you go further than a sonic sketch or a soundscape. Nothing wrong with a sketch or soundscape but it's amazing to see you take it further. Are you thinking of making an album with synth music/songs? I am exploring songwriting with modular synths and vocals. I would LOVE to see your take on this!
Thanks for the kind words! I’m currently working on an EP based on one of my live sets. My issue is that I’ve hardly got any time tho. I come from a guitar/songwriting background and definitely want to explore this in the future!
dying for the lxd to come back into production! just not willing to shell out $300+ for a module that previously list for about $110... my optomix and dplpg will suffice for the time being until the lxd is available again. great video too!
I believe it's because of the parts shortage that it is not in production but not retired. my 1st was the meng qi dplpg later I got the optomix v2 used (which at that time it was also unavailable because of covid and parts shortages). they have different flavors@@TheUnperson
Bro you just make everything sound better all the time, thank you for your videos because I have learned so much from watching them, great video man even though I have been doing the modular thing for about a year now I still consider myself a noob and never fully understood what a LPG actually did, now I'm gonna grab at least one and have at it
Wonderful as always. So often in modular content, we the listeners (and ourselves creators) are subjected to a lot of squawking and screeching and very unpredictable outcomes. Ok, that's part and parcel of the hobby, nobody escapes those moments. Your videos always seem to find a very pleasant musical outcome with an absolute minimum of those moments though. You really have a hold on your rack. That's the main reason I keep coming back to this channel again and again. As I started this video, I noticed your Drumbrute Impact off to the side, I think you usually use a different drum machine, yeah? Well, I saw a wonderful video from Mylar Melodies and a friend of his where they used the DBI as a polyphonic generative sequencer. Maybe it might interest you, I'm sure that of all the creators on YT, you'd be one of the most likely to wrangle something completely unexpected and beautiful out of it. ruclips.net/video/VZaVSXKeBCo/видео.html
I saw the Tiptop Buchla VCO used on Reverb and snagged it. Then I immediately learned that a low pass gate is almost needed to get the best out of it so I picked up the Doepfer LPG and hopefully my beginner self can coax out the good stuff.
I just checked out the dopefer LPG ~ it looks great! Having a resonance control is especially enticing. Send it a snappy envelope and you’ll be sorted :D
i learned nothing. i was too wrapped up in the music. i guess i'll have to watch it over and over and over if i am to learn anything from this video. amazing sounds!
I love how much you can do with a lpg, a maths, a sequencer, and a rings. LPG really does impart the music with a nice warm deep tone. I see your Pams is completely full. Mine always is. I now have two side by side for 400hp and I think that's like a minimum. It handles so much modulation and stuff for me.
Fantastic patch examples. I really like lxd, one thing I use to do is to use both trig and cv in the same time, and have random trigger on the envelope in cv.
This sounds amazing man! 🙌 Siam Modular makes a passive dual lpg (iow, no built in resonance or cutoff) called Takaab in 2hp that sounds incredible. I send it the pulses from the beatstep pro's drum channel and damn it sounds great for such an inexpensive, passive little device lol Edit: I didn't think of it, but I guess the make noise one your using doesn't have control over those things either. Oops😬🙃
The fact that most vactrols (Cd-based photoresistors) are no longer allowed for sale in Europe is bonkers. I think the real character that comes from LPG is from the vactrols.
what are some good (powered) alternatives to the make noise Lxd ? .. it's become quite difficult to find one for a reasonable price. is optomix v2 a good choice?
Erica Pico LPG is a good small relatively affordable powered LPG, 129 eur. There's also the Doepfer A-101-2 Vactrol Lowpass Gate for just under 100eur. It's a bit bigger, but Doepfer's filters are generally very good. But I'm pretty happy with my Takaab 2LPG, though it's not powered like you specified.
The doepfer one looks interesting as it’s got a resonance control ~ might check it out myself! Also the make noise Optomix seems to be a more fully featured LPG
Hi Mr. Person. The track starting around 11:00 makes me think of John Foxx around the period of "The Garden" LP. I think thats what it's called - the one "Europe After The Rain" was on I think. Nice demo of the LPG! Thanks for sharing Un!
@@TheUnperson oh no, you disappoint me LOL! No, he was the frontman\songwriter for Ultravox! back in the 70s then went solo in the (very) early 80s. I'd recommend their 3rd studio album "Systems Of Romance" (well, all of them really) his last with the band. His 1st solo album (Metamatic) is a dystopian tour-de-force. Numan cites him\Ultravox! as a massive influence, and in the years between Foxx leaviny Ultravox! and Midge Ure taking over, Billy Currie (took over writing (music) for the band) played with Numan on his 1st 2 solo albums and live on keyboards and Viola I don't think that there's a particular song your track reminds me of, but the feel of it. Maybe the chord shifts against the bass. He's still going strong, but is a professor of music at (can't remember) University now for his day job. Real name - Dennis Leigh.
@@TheDavidPoole I agree completely, John Foxx deserves to be an electronic music household name, but somehow time kind of forget how great his music was. I love Metamatic, it's an electronic music classic. Such a mood, and it fits the current technological-dystopian Cold War 2.0 times so well too. Seems it was largely Arp Odyssey, Elka String Machine and CR-78. Which is a great sounding trio. Of all the synths I ever owned, I still think the Arp Odyssey had the nicest overall tone, and well rounded feature set. There's something special about it that places it up there with the Minimoog, and so like Foxx, it's underappreciated these days. The Korg Desktop version is such a nice form factor for a modern desktop studio too; and the white / cream one looks lovely with the candy coloured knobs. My daughter was always drawn to that synth too. (though she also loves the Moog Grandmother).
@@compucorder64 I feel we have an accord 😀. Yes, the Odyssey is one of my all time favourite synths. I played with all the classics pack in the day at one time or another and ARP resonated with me the most (no pun intended) for their rather stark sound. I went to the dark side recently and bought the Behringer Odyssey and 2600. The 2500 was always viewed jealously from afar as pure unobtainium until the new Behringer modules. If they are as good as the Oddy and 2600, then I may just have to sell some kids and get a set. I love Moog, but my heart is with ARP. In a side note, I was able ro pick up John Foxx's old Yamaha RX drum machine from Robin Simons (Foxx's guitarist from Ultravox! and recently) Brother Paul a few years back. I went to pick it up and he told me that John would never part with his beloved CR78. Can't say as I blame him! I now feel the need to listen to Metamatic 😀 Cheers, my friend!
Hey man what module or modules do you use to get those bits an pieces to show up in different parts of the stereo field or should i say panning from left and right. Your shits magical!
@@TheUnperson i purchasing my first rack here in a few weeks and its because of your channel. I used vcv prior but after seeing your fx rack video i couldn’t resist any long. Pretty much all the modules you have on that except maths. Going to start with pams pro first and since i have a quaddratt on the listen ill start with that for attenuation if i can. Data bender morphagene, qpas, mime, and thats why i asked you that question about panning because i love when you do that panning with bits and pieces that i can hear in left and then right on headphones or monitors. Dreamy shit. By far my favorite euro channel mate.

Man that sounds amazing. Well done. It was just nice listening to it, in addition to learning! Thank you.

I hadn’t realised it was out of production! I’m interested to try out some different lpgs as the LxD is the only one I’ve used before :)

sounds beautiful! I wish you did a a/b comparison against a normal frequency.
I didn’t even think of that 😅
@@TheUnperson not worries at all! I was mostly distracted by your mesmerizing soundscapes 😎

thank you! :D
Great music! If u you add 2 other different trigger patterns ont the strike inputs, would it make 4 rhythms?
heheheheee

Thank you ~ much appreciated! ☺️
Awesome patch, that first one. Make it into the Top 40! Thanks for posting
That would be nice! :D
Best one so far... but I pretty much think that every time I play a new vid lol
Haha cheers man!! ☺️
what about putting a kick through the LPG?
that's a great idea! I've never tried it before but I reckon it could make some really juicy kick drums!
The fact that most vactrols (Cd-based photoresistors) are no longer allowed for sale in Europe is bonkers. I think the real character that comes from LPG is from the vactrols.
