this looks amazing for a live small rig all you need is this sequencer, queen of pentacles, a complex oscillator or synth voice and few utilitiies and can do a live show.
Thanks for this vid really really informative! I received my Ground control last week. I’m used to Tr style sequencing , thanks for showing the ability to switch to Tr style drum sequencing seems so obvious now! It was wrecking my head for days.
I'm not a eurorack user, but I love your videos regardless, for new ideas for my hardware setup and composition/patches. I'll have to get the book once I'm ready for it. Thanks for all your work!
Very much appreciate your Videos,. I have used your videos to Figure out my Crave, My Pro one, My ( well My minilogue just came naturally) and My Novation SL MK3, hell you have influenced MY MUSIC hehe,. I recently ( the past year- went down the Modular ''Hole'', Ive been in Synth Land for a couple five six years Now, as Ive always been a Music Gear HEAD, I was a Turntablist for 17 years and learned how to make beats kinda-'backwards'. I picked up an Sp 505, just to sample my scratches, and make break loops... 20 years later, that was a Hek of a Machine,. That machine Taught me Wave editing, Multitracking, How to sample, VERY underated peice of equipment. To be Honest I kind of wish i hadnt given mine away, However The Squid Salmpler is Doing FINE justice, and I highly recomend that if anyone is looking for like a 90s style, Sampler/drum Machine.) anyway Ive been stuck on sequencers. My first module was the SWN, then Braids, etc... Having the SLmk3, has been very ''Helpful with my 'outboard' setup. and I also dig the SLMk3 for its ableton abilities. I actually was kind of stuck at the sequencer part like ''Every synth I have seems to have a sequencer-? and why do i need another?'' sounds like a silly question, however your video helped me figure out where like ''OH OK, Thats where I could Use it.'' Big Ups
Mine came today and this is really helpful! Lots to learn but most of it is very fun and intuitive. Queen of Pentacles is an awesome drum synth for use with it.
Hello, From 29:04 you start making a long melody on track 2, and at 29:15 you press the next page button. Does this make the pattern longer than 64steps onto 2 pages?
Why do you need an eurorack sequencer like this if you can have an Arturia Keystep pro which is an external sequencer sending midi to the eurorack?.. I do not understand the difference. advantages and disadvantages. Thanks,
The one thing I can say about this is that having everything in the same case looks very attractive to me, you don’t have to carry around extra stuff, but I guess it’s a matter of preference.
@@synthesauriov3195 Yes.. But with an external what beacomes easy to carry is the sequencer and you can easyly move it to any other area of you rstudio and have it sending sequences to a Set of synths ..
I'm actually really interested in this module, I think it would allow me to have everything built in into the case, and avoid having stuff outside that I need to bring along every time
@@Amatteus yeah I guess it depends on the size of your case and studio, for small and self contained cases looks like an ideal sequencer, but I think if you plan to sequence a big wall of eurorack and other external synths, other sequencers might be better.
This looks amazing but the price is a deal-breaker for me. It's even more than the big daddy sequencers like Hermod or Nerdseq (not to mention KSP which is a little more than 1/2 the price of this).
A masterclass by the professor....Loopop never disappoints. Well done sir. Great outro song and display of what the Ground Control is capable of doing.
Thanks for the review! I like both modules but it kind seems like they "just" ported Keystep and with the Golden Master module TC Electronic Finalizer Express (minus balanced stereo out) to Eurorack. It makes sense for live applications which is something that their modules support really well in general. I like it!
I purchased the Ground Control because I want to have everything in my Eurorack. A Keystep Pro takes up quick a lot more space. They are different products for different uses, but also a lot of overlap. One nice thing in the Ground Control is that it has four CV inputs that can be mapped to MIDI, which the Keystep does not have. I’m very happy with the Ground Control, and can really recommend it if you are looking for this type of sequencer.
Can’t understand why anyone would put a segment display in 2020 instead of a small LCD/OLED. Same goes for the Deluge. I’d be happy to pay 5 EUR/USD more for a proper display (which is about what it would cost), which would increase usability considerably.
noooo. i have the vector five12 and hermod which covers most of this but the immediacy of the features makes me want this. plus i love the endorphin stuff. where does it all end?
Hey Chris, out of curiosity how much/many HP and U is your rack? I have a 15U 84hp rack with hermod but i keep eyeing up the vector for more immediacy/playability.
@@Michael-xp1fq hi. I must admit I've gone a bit crazy at 20 rows of 104hp. The vector is great especially with the expander which gives 6 cv and gate outs, midi and triggers. Can run a pretty complex patch. Very quick and easy to come up with some interesting melodies . The strongest feature is the seq whicn allows amazing customization and changing patterns. Throw in a bit of random and chance and it gets very interesting. The loopop review made me want to buy it in the first place . Hope that helps
I was really excited about this sequencer but I gotta be honest... the way it handles xox drum sequencing.... I’m not sure my brain can adjust after years of 16 steps in a row. Really don’t know what they were thinking there with two of the “black” notes being part of the 16 step sequence.
@@loopop I hear you, however for a module that is so clearly intended to be used with the black noir and the Queen of pentacles I was hoping for a more elegant solution. Great video as always loopop thank you!

NIce ! most of the the features of the KSP in a that lttle box.thjat's impressive, and the 2 ocatve keyboard !! that won't help me solving my addiction to sequencers. Westlicht performer has an arpegiator as well btw. good job endorphin ( and good job loopop !)
Again kudos to your exciting music. That arpeggiator seems like great fun, also really like the seemingly fast and easy chaining of patterns and nice with the two octave keys to. But I think what I'm looking for is something to compose and save finished songs on, so with songmode I suppose. Been eying the Vector and Black as they seem rather intuitive or logical and hands on at the same time as they are rather complex, or maybe I'll find another external sequencer, I don't know. My main sequencer, a Doepfer Dark Time "fortunately" died. I say fortunately for that made me break my boring pattern and experiment with a combination of my neglected KeyStep + Pam's that is really fun. I think for now I'm saving up for the HP friendly Bloom and wait with a bigger sequencer a year or two for when I buy a case number two, but by that time I have probably changed my mind about these matters entirely : ) But have you heard about Helene Vogelsinger? I particularly like this one that I'm sure you like to: ruclips.net/video/slbROZSecqk/видео.html&ab_channel=HeleneVogelsinger
Hey Patrick. Love your channel and your live performances were part of getting me into modular, so thanks. Did you end up switching to the Ground Control or do you still like the Sputnik?
It's weird that it can't be used as a polyphonic keyboard. It has the CV/gate outputs and keyboard! At the price, a Keystep Pro seems like an obvious alternative.
I see you got the golden master too... I'm thinking of adding that to a large 9u utilities studio rack. Would that fit in a studio setting or would you say its more live oriented? That seems like how they are advertising it.
I didn't have much time to investigate it yet. I guess in a studio might want and could get more control with software - this is just a quick way to get results without taking up much space
Where is the bass on the outro track coming from? I'm trying to track the cv out cord but get lost😅 edit: i think its the Intellijel Atlantis, am I correct?
@@loopop Can you do a video on those mini modular cases? I saw it in your video. I am wondering how a person...well me..if I can get like a granular modular or clouds and put in in there and what other little module I should get that I can use as a mini Fx box to use with my Moog Mother/DFAM/Subharmonicon stack. THANKS
@@Rustik1722 - not sure there’s much meat for a full video because you just put the module in the case and you’re done - but as you’ve seen in my vids I love doing that
Would love to see a video where you show the Instruo filter. It looks like it does some unique things but i’d love to hear your opinion before buying. The trax a stomper sir.
Thanks! It's not likely that I'll make a dedicated video about it, I think what really matters is whether how it sounds resonates with you (dad joke) - but this is not the first video where I use it so certainly I like it...
Thanks so much! I think it really depends on your definition of generative music - I've made 4 episodes about generative music and sequencers are often a small or non existent piece of the puzzle, since notes programmed into a sequencer are by definition not generative. Cross mods are always a good way to get the unexpected from a sequencer, so Vector and Metropolix are good candidates for sure. It will be interesting to see how Ground Control and Black Sequencer add cross mod features over time.
@@loopop I've seen all your generative videos - excellent and very inspiring. You could put them all in a Playlist for easy access :-) Take your point about sequencers and generative music. I was thinking of using the sequencer as a base, adding and removing notes, changing durations, etc. And then letting the rest of the modular loose on it :-) For me, generative has to have some sort of melodic or harmonic base and a sequencer seems like a good start :-)
Thanks! I think currently the main thing that this can do that KSP can't is being in a case and around 20% the size. Potentially if they add interesting CV destinations, those are things you don't have in KSP.
Searching for the "ultimate straight&simple performance" sequencer this has some very good things for me, compared to my BSP. (Quicker muting indiv. drums, 3 melodic tracks, 2 oct. keyboard, transposing pressing 1 key in stead of 2, ..) But I NEED to be able to independently change patterns of different tracks at the same time, shorten/lengthen pattern length on the fly (improv with polymetrics), these seem to be options this one does not offer? Ha, and hplding buttons on my SQ1 in stepjump-mode to independently "arpeggiate" 2 tracks, which neither BSP nor GC seems to have... Anyone suggestions for a sequencer with all tricks mentioned above? I challenge you.... ....can I have it all please?? :D
Hey man, I love your vids. I have seen almost all of them. So I have a request. can you make a vid on how to / how much create a cool modular system like you have in this vid ? especially for us old school (really middle school) synth guys and girls that have always had dedicated synths and drum machines. I have a few synths with CV ins and outs (the Matrix Brute and Dave Smith Pro 2) and the arriving any day Pulsar 23 , that I wand to get the most out of my utilizing the modular aspect. I think a lot of people out here in RUclips land want to see that vid. maybe you can hook up a few modules to a synth that has CV and give us an idea . Thanks for your dedication and great vids.
Thanks very much! I talk through the setup in this video - what else would you want to know? Also, I made quite a few pairing videos (MatrixBrute, Matrairch, 0-Coast, DFAM), and if you've seen my book in Patreon all of those ideas and more are there. If you ever have a chance to check it out and let me know what's missing or which questions you have (that aren't related to a specific setup issue) I'd be happy to expand on that in the book or in video form as appropriate.
Excellent work as always loopop but I think the product is a mess. Too expensive and seems unfinished. Why not have velocity or after touch with pads like that? You can get excellent after touch with a capacitive touch keyboard which is surely much cheaper to make. Anyway, the arpeggiator seems great though.
Yeah, for a beta version it wouldn't be such a big deal, but a product that has basic functionality missing after release is not something I'll get into again. Sure, they'll add the functionality later, but how long will it take to get the bugs out? My experience with other companies says probably too long.
@@eternalvoid2678 I was put off their stuff with my noisy milky way and sqwak dirty. I have 2 shuttle controls that I love but one of them likes to flake out sometimes.
If there would be a alternative firmware without the drum gates and a few more melodic tracks, i would buy it tommorow. I have already a better drum sequencer. Greetz ✌️🤟👍
Why doesn’t anyone make a sequencer with 16 knobs, 16 steps, and a screen(s) or leds that show the note of the 16 steps at all times? These are great tools and all, but every sequencer makes you fly blind in some way or another.
Vector is close with 8, but I think the answer is cost and that people make sequencers for their own dream setup at a price they think will sell. Black shows all the steps BTW, but when it does it's on a relatively small screen.
Can you please consider for your next video to show how to make a dawless setup with minimal hardware like a synth, drum machine and a looper of some kind(maybe a groovebox which can do both - drums and looping from external source(like the synth I mentioned)
Thanks - there are so many potential DAWless setups, but if you're interested in my take on setups with a looper check out my review of Aeros Looper or the RC500
@Selahl Tapes Is it true standalone tho? i dont want to rely on computer anymore and i'd go with the MC101 if it could record from external synth into one of the tracks..
@@RamRevivo you can sequence external synths into a track on the mc101. But like the other guy said. Mpc is way more powerful and versatile. I was gonna get one but I'm currently on my way down the rabbit hole 🤣 gonna put together a case with the ground control and queen of pentacles to go with my moog grandmother,.. and my mc101.
Wait, so this device uses USB-A connector for the connection to a host and USB-B connector for the connection to a peripheral? . . . That's exactly the reverse to what USB standard mandates!

If you ever have a chance to check it out and let me know what's missing or which questions you have (that aren't related to a specific setup issue) I'd be happy to expand on that in the book or in video form as appropriate.
28:48 if you wanna know how good are your headphones. volume all the way up no cheating.
Then come back talk to me.
Inky would you buy me a modular synth, my friends all got Moogs....
Excellent work as always loopop but I think the product is a mess. Too expensive and seems unfinished. Why not have velocity or after touch with pads like that? You can get excellent after touch with a capacitive touch keyboard which is surely much cheaper to make. Anyway, the arpeggiator seems great though.
CV and Trig ins don't work yet and are promised in a future update. No thanks.
Yeah, for a beta version it wouldn't be such a big deal, but a product that has basic functionality missing after release is not something I'll get into again. Sure, they'll add the functionality later, but how long will it take to get the bugs out? My experience with other companies says probably too long.
@@eternalvoid2678 I was put off their stuff with my noisy milky way and sqwak dirty. I have 2 shuttle controls that I love but one of them likes to flake out sometimes.
My heart says yes, my wallet says no.
If there would be a alternative firmware without the drum gates and a few more melodic tracks, i would buy it tommorow. I have already a better drum sequencer. Greetz ✌️🤟👍
Why doesn’t anyone make a sequencer with 16 knobs, 16 steps, and a screen(s) or leds that show the note of the 16 steps at all times?
These are great tools and all, but every sequencer makes you fly blind in some way or another.
Vector is close with 8, but I think the answer is cost and that people make sequencers for their own dream setup at a price they think will sell. Black shows all the steps BTW, but when it does it's on a relatively small screen.
@@loopop Thanks, I thought about erica, but I have the Vector. That's the closest anyone has come to the perfect sequencer at least for me
This or Eloquencer ?
Great video, thnx alot. i
i think a sequencer like the Westlicht Perfomer is much stronger than this one . for half the price
Класс! Тактильные патчи.
Yarns has an arpeggiator
Woah 😳😳😳
Cool!
Can you please consider for your next video to show how to make a dawless setup with minimal hardware like a synth, drum machine and a looper of some kind(maybe a groovebox which can do both - drums and looping from external source(like the synth I mentioned)
Thanks - there are so many potential DAWless setups, but if you're interested in my take on setups with a looper check out my review of Aeros Looper or the RC500
@@loopop Thanks! ill take a look..
Happy Passover :)
Same to you :)
@Selahl Tapes Is it true standalone tho?
i dont want to rely on computer anymore and i'd go with the MC101 if it could record from external synth into one of the tracks..
@@RamRevivo you can sequence external synths into a track on the mc101. But like the other guy said. Mpc is way more powerful and versatile. I was gonna get one but I'm currently on my way down the rabbit hole 🤣 gonna put together a case with the ground control and queen of pentacles to go with my moog grandmother,.. and my mc101.
Please, someone has to develop a module called Major Tom that you can connect this to.
This is where I kick myself for not connecting this to a Tom module playing a Major scale
Wait, so this device uses USB-A connector for the connection to a host and USB-B connector for the connection to a peripheral?
. . . That's exactly the reverse to what USB standard mandates!

1000 mA, the fancy way of saying 1 amp. xD
Most modules denote their power requirements in mA
@@loopop Indeed, for reference I make the same joke about 1000 ml liquid containers. :)
@@robertsyrett1992 you sound LOLtastic!
@@McEnroe911 Well, I am a talking dog on the internet.
It's also a welding station ?
such a pity about the screen
its good but not $700 good.
Waste of eurorack space and money. Back to my Nerdseq, just bought a new CV 16 extension ;)
200 euros cheaper and it would have been a "must have"
You tell me it's costing more than 200 euros ? Really ?
@@FastRCToys mate its over 500 euros, you can get a mpc one for that much
@@miss.antidote but the screen of the "ground control" is far better ;)
