re: the ping being more aggressive than the MMF, WMD addressed this in the modwiggler forums: “The ping circuit is similar, however it no longer can be run through the FM input, which may be the primary difference. The gains and curve did change a bit because of this parallel architecture with the more accurate v/oct along with temperature compensation. I also changed it to have a slightly slower attack and a slightly longer decay to more accurately mimic the VTL5C3. I like the sound and usability of it much more than the MMF personally. But I am the designer... It is also now sensitive to trigger length, 1-10ms is the sensitivity range, so it'll be less potent with a 1ms trigger. 1ms trigger is going to be closer to the MMF in character.”
Great sounding filter. And I love how they added a wavefolder, pre-filter. The only filters I've kept in my system have been the ones that have saturation; the Manhattan SVVCF, updated Ripples. It's one of the things I love about the Novation Peak too. Two other awesome small format filters with a lot of features per hp are the Three Tom Steve's ms-22. and the Shakmat dual dagger, because stereo, LPF and HPF knobs, and CV over pan. I ditched my bellrigner 121 vcf with the Shakmat. Now that you've got some gaps in your case, check out the Takaab dual LPG in only 2hp, the best bargain filter in Eurorack.
Do you have any tutorials or advice you can recommend on how to record your music along with your voice audio for your vids? Do you just record an entire session tandem in Ableton and mix it with your voice in Final Cut?
Speaking of wavefolding, I wonder if you clocked DivKid's Bastl Pizza video. It sounds to me like an absolute beast of a House music Bass Voice, and packs a lot into just 8hp. Two secondary oscillators (rate, and octave), plus waveshaping. And then the fact, it doesn't necessarily need to be fed into a filter.
I was looking at the MMF, but ended up sacrificing 2HP more for the Happy Nerding HN VCF, which has a better knob arrangement, drive, and a 3-pole LPF output. Then the C4RBN came out. 🤬 I still love the HN, but I'd kill to have that switch button, instead of having to use a switch module I don't really have space for. (Mystic Circuits, if you're reading this, I'm still waiting on that 0HP passive switch/mute, lol.) As others have mentioned, Steve's MS-22 is really awesome as well, but I found out about it a little too late as well, plus the guy wasn't shipping pre-built modules outside of Europe, something like that. I don't know if the situation has changed.
Nice work Ricky. I've been using the C4RBN for a while now, such a versatile filter. For bang for the $ you should also check out Three Tom Modular Steve's MS-22 also 4hp with a crazy flexible mod matrix. These two filters got everything covered! Peace ✌🏼

Seems like you could do with some attenuverters to be able to dial back the mod depth?
WMD shipped their last C4RBN. Be fast as WMD closed down. Rickys video doesn´t show what C4RBN is able to do but I can assure you it is worth it.

C4RBN was already in the mail before this video dropped. Thanks for adding to the hype! Can’t wait for it to arrive!
I thought that you’d said that it’s in the mail box, I was wondering why couldn’t you pick it up 🤣✌️
Enjoy it 😉
Such ruch pure tones on this, awesome jam as well RT !
It’s the best filter for size out there.
Whhaaaa return of the mini modular… love it
Thanks mate, great Sunday morning vibes
Yeah happy to see the mini back too 🙂
Love this filter. A shame it's been discontinued.
Yess!!! Minimodular, it's been a while

I heard the Takaab in one of DivKid's recent videos and wow does it ever sound nice!
Very nice jam!
huge thanks for putting me onto XLN's XO. Can't remember which video you covered it in but it's become my favorite way to make Circuit Rhythm packs
YES This has been my favorite filter for a while now
Definitely my favorite filter. Always sounds good.
Nice choice! I love mine! So much in that little filter!

Needs its brother Javelin for envelope and accent duties. I’ve just done two videos on this.
We know you doing those live shows again since society opened back up. Stop hiding your live show setups from us. Those were dope! ✌️
Very nice jam !
Love my C4RBN too 🔥
Ricky have you ever tried the norand mono? I think its a synth you would really like
I feel like everyone else that's into modular is always collecting shiny voice modules and such. I seem to keep collecting filters!
Yo ricky a question, are you thinking about doing a sp404 mk2 review? Are you having trouble getting one?
The saturation is very nice.

I freaking LOVE my C4RBN!
I dont (only) come for the tech, i come for the sick tunes every week
wich sequencer is that on the bottom?
Have you checked out the Steve's MS-22? It's a MS-20-style filter with routing features in 4hp.
Steve's ms22 is impressive
Yeah +1 on this one.
me at 5:14 :awwww yeaaaah
ricky: this pattern kinda sucks but you get the idea
yeah i think i do 😂
Sample was giving me heavy Ridge Racer: Type 4 vibes
Am I crazy or is the "title sequence" sped up?
Would love to see more MPC beat making sample videos like you used to do 👍🏽🎛🎚📠

Looks cramped if you actually had it up against another module with knobs.
How you gonna have a sponsored video and still have ad rolls lol?
