Life after Optomix feels like wandering into the yawning chasm, where the world unravels in stark clarity, exposing its secrets amidst shadows that linger and colors that mock, leaving me to navigate through the desolation with a heart weighed down by the solitude of existence. (great stuff)
Really excited for mine to be delivered tomorrow/Tuesday; a little birthday present to myself. It’s my first ever module preorder and first LPG too, woop 😅
I’ve been yearning to get me mitts on one of these sweet babies. This demo just titilates the antici…….pation. Meanwhile, I’ve revisited RXMX and MMG to strike up some perky fun in my newly consolidated Shared System suitcase. I got to spill over to a second case. So many toys-so little time.
Great, maybe a shootout, bongo style? LXD-Optomix-DXG. I tried the System X setup. It is a nice case but not definitive, it’s missing a big bold reverb, the Mimeophon is not enough for me. Only 4hp left, something gotta go or change🤔
Actually I am working on one :). As for the reverb, i miss that too, but my Noise Engineering case with six versios is one level up. When MakeNoise will eventually release a new Erbe-Verb the case will no longer work for me either....
Lovely sound design as ever! How do you like the sound of it compared to the 292t? Is it possible to put a signal in the channel 1 left and a loose cable into channel 1 right, a loose cable into channel 2 left and a signal into channel 2 right and then take the final summed outs left and right to different destinations (eg: make it behave like two independent/mono LPGs?)
The 292T doesn't have a strike input and sounds a bit more mellow compared to the DXG. The DXG can expose a lot of extra punch when CTRL is turned past 03:00, but sounds similar to the 292T and the Optomix around 01:00. The scenario of CH1 with L patched R dummy and CH2 R patched indeed gives you dual mono LPGs you can process independently (or just have an amazing hard L/R panning fest).
Hi, great patch :) Optomix is an envelope generator in addition to being a low pass gate, which allows you to send the generated envelope into a VCA if you want. What about DXG? I feel like there is some ambiguity about this?
I am not sure what you mean. Optomix needs an evnelope generator into CTRL or a strike. However, you could 'abuse' the strike response when you don't patch the input. I am not aware DXG can do this too but I will do a deep dive into LPG's again after I made a few different videos.
@@CinematicLaboratory Thanks for your reply. I mean Optomix can be just a envellope generator: strike and you gate a envellope and them you can use it in a other module like your favorite VCA for example. So you have a fast bango enveloppe, but without the low pass thing.
@@Kpidg True, you can use Optomix as a 'vactrol response' envelope. I've checked for you. The DXG is totally silent. But I am planning to do a deep dive on vactrol LPG's vs DXG soon.
Considering replacing Optomix with DXG but I want to use both LPGs individually. If I read manual correctly it is not possible with DXG. You can't get first LPG out without mix with second. Did I understood it correctly?
Honestly, the DXG is a great 'first LPG' but if you already own an Opto or LxD you may find it sounding too different. I see it as a complementary module, but not a replacement.
Nice demo patches. The DxG seems to sound a bit boring and sterile to be honest. But that's more a matter of taste. I also think it's a design mistake not to have output 1 available separately.
Boring and sterile may be my patch :) but I compared with the LxD today and the difference is quite big. But there's also a big difference between LxD and Opto. Having no CH1 output also bothers me. The only way to solve this is to get a second one and chain it.
@@CinematicLaboratory I prefer the mild resonance of the LxD's channel 1 over the Optomix: gives it some extra flavour, but that's not always what you'd want.
Please note the line 'Optomix was your best option' applies to the MakeNoise Universe, not Modular Grid.

Wow, you seem to have a talent for poetry!
👨🎨 can i take this words and prompt it into AI imaging?
Geen probleem ga je gang.@@Automatenzoo
yes you can, youtube didnt post my message i guess @@Automatenzoo
yes you can@@Automatenzoo
Just like to say what a beautiful drone that was ! 👍
Yes, I can imagine why the makenoise manual crew recommended to let it just drone for a while before adding more modulation.
I initially dismissed the dxg,
But Ive been awakening to it lately, your video is a very good showcase. Thank you
I pre-ordered on day 1, and hopefully it will be arriving soon. Looking forward to working with it along with QPAS and my Xaoc Sofia.
I still need to make a video about Sofia, what a great VCO! I think it pairs very well with the DXG - or any LPG. It sounds very woody and alive.
Really excited for mine to be delivered tomorrow/Tuesday; a little birthday present to myself. It’s my first ever module preorder and first LPG too, woop 😅
So how's it going? When I discovered LPG's I almost never used a VCA again (except for attenuating CV).
Ugh so awesome, Can't wait to get mine! Nice work as always. 💯
These "self-generating" sounds are very beautiful! I also made a video with these techniques recently, with the Neutron! Compliments!
Thanks!

It's always fun to use these classics!
Great video. My DXG arrives on Monday!
Share your thoughts when you patched it for a while!
Great video, hoping to pick mine up this week and hear XPO through it :)
That combo is a true blast. But DPO really surprised me with four outputs patched.
@@CinematicLaboratory cool, I also have Instruo Cs-L which should be awesome through it!
Heads up Magarit updated the firmware for LANIAKEA and dialed back the distortion a bit. I'm finding it much more usable.
I always feel it has a mind of its own, but it's a beautiful mind.
This was very nice!

Have the Audiotronix Mimic - LPG with Overdrive & feedback-Circuit !
Thanks for sharing! I was unaware of it but I don't know everything. There's tons of modules on Modular Grid. I'll check it out.
Sounds amazing and very innovative. But that's a vactrol machine! At some points it reminds me of the QMMG.
mine arrived today!
I hope you like it as much as I do! Happy patching.
im sure i will, thanks! will be rewatchujg to cooy some ideas too 8)

Correct. Ch1 is summed together with Ch2 and the aux in and only Ch2 has “direct outs”

No Vactrols:(. My cases want cadmium and red paint lol
