2021 and still hoping for your return Mr.Klobucar,all these years and still enjoyng and learning from your video.I must admit that sometimes i enjoy to play your videos just to listen to your voice and the beautiful sounds and sequence you make.Whish you all the best,cheers
Without doubt one of the best modular tutorials I've seen on youtube, exactly the type of information I'm looking for as I start my own modular journey :) many thanks!
haha thanks! :) yeah, thats funny, i had the same feeling sometime learning from other people... didnt know i could do that. really glad you enjoyed it
So helpful, thank you! Sample and Hold modules never really made sense to me until I heard you say "sample rate". It all clicked at that! I knew what sample rate was but that module just never clicked that idea.
Honestly one of the most inspiring modular video I’ve seen for a long time. I have never patched like this, but I am going to start right away. Thanks!
this is one of the best. super clear and precise tutorial explaining the general functions of one aspect of modular synthesis without getting lost in the particulars of specific modules. also your accent is very pleasant.
Great tutorial. This is the kind of stuff I really enjoy. Techniques that I didn't know how to do, and that I can apply in different ways with different modules. I'd like to have a deeper understanding of modular synthesis techniques, and this video gets me a step deeper!
You rock. I’ve used LFO>Quantizer in the past, but your video is super deep! I have the ADDAC quantizer, and i totally forgot you can feed it a voltage for transposition. Thanks for the inspiration.
thanks for the tutorial, its great, i didn't understand everything in details, but it a good starting point for create beautiful and complex melodic sequences
@@dinkoklobucar526 too bad you stopped making tutorials 4 years ago.... they're real gems... did you ever consider offering content via Patreon or other platforms? I would be glad to pay for this quality...
This is a great tutorial! I really like that you can sync and modulate the shape of the LFO. I first started using a similar technique using a Batumi with the parasite firmware and the semi-random output patched into Braids (with its built in quantizer)
well, you're either a madman or a genius. I'm not sure I'd fully comprehend what you did here without 5-10 years worth of hands-on experience. Great stuff! EDIT: I'm exaggerating slightly of course, but great none the less :D
Great Tutorial. AMAZING tutorial given it was your 1st go. Please keep them coming. I use the Toppobrillo Sport Modulator and the O_c in a similar fashion quite often. A great way to "find" melodies in the wild :)
Very cool. Looking forwards to it. Good timing as I got the E352 a couple days ago, which has a very nice "noise" mode to it. Was just thinking today how great this will be as source CV for a Sample & Hold.
No, it was just a simple patch to be used as background. But you can check out my soundcloud profile: You might like this soundcloud.com/user-997357582/enso or this soundcloud.com/user-997357582/shinobi-iri there is also some stuff on bandcamp dinkoklobucar.bandcamp.com/
Hello arjuna207, thank you for the comment. I put some thought into your request and I think the main idea would need to be oversimplified to make it into a patch description. In the simplest form it would be LFO->offset/atten->quantizer, but the video explains what can be built upon this simple concept, and how to control such system in a procedural way. Purpose of this video shouldn't be to copy the patch, but to provide ideas and basic building blocks to realize it in different ways and using other kinds of modules. Since the video shows all steps, connections, parameters, and thought process in detail, I will not be adding any additional patch descriptions. I hope you'll find it useful in current format though.
Doepfer dual sample and hold module A148, 5th module in the second row. 4ms clock distributor is used to trigger the sample and hold. Instead of clock signal you can use sequencer or some other methods to create different rhytms.
Thanks for the explanation. One more question -- so with a complex VCO where the LFO can directly modulate the secondary osc using the S&H would not have any added benefit, would it?
Try it :) Nothing is stopping you from using LFO to directly control VCO pitch, but you will get continuous pitch change (frequency modulation - FM), provided you are not using some kind of stepped LFO signal. If you want to create distinct pitches (like notes), then you want to keep values static for some time and then quickly change to some other value. That is the reason to use s&h. So essentially, s&h creates stepped cv signal from continuous signal by sampling voltages when trigger occurs. Changing/modulating LFO properties like frequency, amplitude, shape... will result in different values to be sampled, which then produces different sequences of pitches. I hope this helps.
Hi. I don't understand how that quantizer works. if you set values on it it should give a single note. Instead here (beautiful anyway) chooses random notes. Can you help me understand? thanks.
hello. quantizer can usually take 2 signals. one signal is the signal to sample and quantize to a voltage for some note. the other input takes a trigger that tells quantizer when to take a sample from the first input. it works exactly like sample and hold but in addition it quantizes the sampled voltage to a nearest note (or using some other selection method)
if you're asking about the multiple outputs, the quantizer used in the video has 4 channels. www.addacsystem.com/en/products/modules/addac200-series/addac207
Dinko I have the same quantizer! but I don't understand why if you select a single note in quantizer mode, (C for example) maybe inserting a ramp as input, with the trigger input he takes C and other notes but which are not selected! As your quantizer does
@@dinkoklobucar526 so even in your case, (with a voltage sampled by the S&H) if you had only selected the C key, would C have come out on various octaves? but if I watch the video at reduced speed I see that when the C flashes other notes come out. Confirm?
Very good, even in 2022 this is still a very nice way to create new and fresh melodies.
Yeah, I agree. I don't think these techniques will become obsolete sometime soon
Sjajno, hvala na ovome! Brdo korisnih informacija i novih ideja.
Hvala!
This is a great tutorial, your language, pace and structure of explanation are just right. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it
I just watched this, and your other two tutorials. This is brilliant, deep stuff, and it sounds good too.

Ive just got into modular.
That was by far the best patching explanation ive ever seen.
Ill be watching it many times.
Thank you very much Ben! Glad you liked it

Wow, more of this please. Thanks for putting in your time and sharing!
I like how the reverb on your voice makes you sound like a god comunicating from the heavens to guide us in impeccable patching.

Excellent work Dinko. Very interesting! Easily the most informative video on modular composition that I've seen.

@@dinkoklobucar526 Im gonna watch it again now, really interesting stuff.
Do u ever use regular sequencers in your patching otherwise?
Of course, sequencers can be used in lots of creative and unexpected ways also
this is one of the best. super clear and precise tutorial explaining the general functions of one aspect of modular synthesis without getting lost in the particulars of specific modules. also your accent is very pleasant.
Thanks Rico, glad you liked it

No, it was just a simple patch to be used as background. But you can check out my soundcloud profile:

this is fucking insane
Maybe I missed it but how is it so that it always sound in key ?
Hello, quantizer settings are used to keep it in key
Cool video & synth. BTW, you sound a little bit like Werner Herzog. :-)
Haha, great compliment, thank you :)
can you add some patch info in the description?

Dinko Klobucar exactly, i want to understand the principle
Great then. If you have trouble with any section of the video, let me know and I can try to explain it in more detail.
what is the Name/Mark of the quantyzer?
It is ADDAC207 www.addacsystem.com/product/addac200-series/addac207
