    Been a subscriber for a while and love your OP-Z and Deluge videos. As someone who also has a small 9U modular rig, I would find more modular videos super rad. This one is great!

    Great video. Plaits is one of the legendary modules. Also I would use this platform and call out RO'VED, fantastic 1u version of Plaits by Plum Audio. It is NOT a clone, it has unique button functions, and extra features like frequency lock, sub oscillators, different targets for modulating level input (you can modulate decay on internal LPG and filter, something impossible on OG Plaits), and now with the latest firmware there is internal SH one every modulation input. Awesome module, both og and RO'VED.

    • @whaleshaveteeth
      @whaleshaveteeth  8 месяцев назад +2

      Damn, that sounds amazing. I have to take a look since I don't have Plaits anymore but I still have free 1U space...

    • @earlsfield
      @earlsfield 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@whaleshaveteeth yeah that is the only downside to it, it takes a lots of space (28 hp I think). Add Quadritt to the 1U row and you are almost at the half of your 1U, if you run 108 or 84 case. However, i find it extremely inspiring due to the unique features on top of the already legendary module. For instance, get to the first “orange” mode, bass, and enable sub - octave, you get instant “ladder filter-like” electronic bass, but reinforced with the sub octave (something I often do on bass patches, both on Moog and Pro 3, one oscillator for the main timbre and colour - square/pw or saw, and one triangle or sine one octave below). Basic stuff like that, or just go bonkers and modulate envelope decay (something you cant do on OG Plaits), and you can really get interesting organic stuff coming out of the module.

    • @whaleshaveteeth
      @whaleshaveteeth  2 года назад

      Thank you so much!
      I'm not doing anything special to the signal. I have it going from HPO to my camera's input during clips where there's no second sound source and in the clips where I have OP-Z doing drums, I'm recording both to Ableton. Then I just add a limiter and try to get loudness around -14LUFS, which this service prefers.

    Hosa Stereo Breakout (3.5 mm TRS to Dual 3.5 mm TSF) with the red and black female ends is what I was trying to find the name of from Insta. That's the thing that can enable you to use the CV2/3 from the OP-Z. Depends if you're running out of modulation sources or whatever.
