Not only are you a capacity on modular synth´s - you also have a fine way to "Drop that Knowledge" on us ignant son´s of mothers - Thanx DivKid - i learn A BUNCH here ! :-D
The combo of Pink/white-S+H-Slew is just super useful. I have an Intellijel 1U Noise Tools, use it like every patch. The Roland555 is sorta like a 3U big version of that, with sliders and LFO and the little ringmod packed in there too. Yeah, utilities are awesome!
Lovely lovely sounding modules. My only gripe is the controls seem a bit small for my sausage fingers. Really on point with the demo D.K. Wikid stuff 👍👍👍
Awesome, I have been learning this S&H on my new Doepfer A100 system. Ben, can you route the output of a VCO to S&H input and an LFO to the trigger input of the S&H module and send the S&H output to a mixer? I am going to try this out today on my Doepfer system. Last night I used the Noise random A-118 Doepfer module as the source for S&H input and an LFO to trigger input on the S&H module. Was fun to generate a tune without using a sequencer.
Hello, you can route audio through a sample and hold but you'll need to trigger the sample and hold at audio rates to still here it as audio. With a super sonic oscillator pitch you're sampling audio at similar rates to sample rates of digital audio, as you drop the rate of triggering down you're downsampling the audio, a common effect found on bit crushers. I explore that at 9:07 in this video - ruclips.net/video/hlcXvCN80jU/видео.html - showing the FX on noise. I then do it again with audio from a bassline at 13:17 and drum breaks as the audio at 14:27. Hope that's helpful.
hello ben! hope you are well! quick question: for the s&h section starting 1.58 - what are the destinations for the 'out'? is it to an envelope which then goes to VCF freq cut off, resonance or VCO cv in? it is incredible how use the various waveforms available in the 555 to make the 531 do such rhythmical panning. i want to get that iconic depeche mode enjoy the silence going
Hello, so the signal patch was oscillator pulse wave out into filter, filter into a VCA then VCA to mixer. The clock output of the 555 is triggering an envelope and that envelope opens and closes the sound of the filtered pulse in the VCA. The sample and hold output goes to a splitter (I think a Hosa knucklebones) then the splits of that signal goes to pulse width on the oscillator, filter cut off on the filter and the panning on the 531 mixer. Hope that helps. That Depeche sound is certainly appealing and you can get some great results from the Roland modules.
Hello, I can't say what sequencer it was specifically but the important is (and not to seem blunt or rude here) ... it doesn't matter which is was. Now that's not me holding anything back I genuinely can't remember. But listening back it's a 16 step sequence that I will have programmed (turned knobs, set pitches whatever the interface was) fairly quickly to demonstrate the lag/slew. It could have been an analogue step sequencer with 16 steps that I turned to different voltages then possibly attenuated and quantised with a quantiser module. Or it could have been a digital sequencer where the steps were selected and I chose the pitches on a screen turning an encoder. Either way would give the same results. I can see the Winter Modular Eloquencer in the background, could have been that. I also know at that time I was playing with the Generator from Analogue Solutions. Which would have been the former analogue step sequencer method needing a quantiser. Hope that sparks some ideas of doing similar things.
@@DivKid Thanks for the thoughtful response! Not rude at all. The only sequencer I've used is on the Grandmother and, likely due to my inexperience, I haven't been able to program anything with any groove to it. Seems very rigid. Currently just playing a bassline into a looper as a workaround, but I'd rather have something I can twist knobs on and play with. Think I need to spend some time researching options. Thanks for giving me a couple of leads. Cheers
No problem at all, I haven't used the Grandmother sequencer so can't comment. But it's no doubt similar to other keyboard led sequencer methods I've tried before like some of the Arturia's and older monos like the SH-101. I quite like those, different input methods often lead to different things. If you have a slew/lag module you could try adding that to the Grandmother sequencer ... does it have slew built in (thinking about it)?
Can this 555 module replace the Gate Delay section of the stock 572 Phaser/Delay? I never use the Phaser/Delay; but I’m always using the Gate Delay on that module. Please leave a comment if you know. Thanks!
Hello, in a word - no. It won't replace the gate delay. There's ways you could patch around getting some delayed gate behaviours but it would dependent in multiple factors in the patch. One way would be to use the portamento circuit to add a slew (rising edge, like an attack time on an envelope) to the front of the gate. This would then delay the time it takes to get to the voltage needed for a gate input on another module. A gate input on an envelope (or any gate/trigger/clock input) has a threshold in the circuit but that particular function fires. So by adding a rising edge to the gate it will offset the time from instant to arriving at that voltage later on ... I hope that makes sense. That might be perfect for your use case.
Hey Ben, I am searching for a way to emulate the sounds of early Richard Barbieri (think Ghosts from Japan) how would you go about this on a budget? I know he used the system 700 for most of the microtonal bleeps and bops in that period.
I believe David Sylvian said that all of Tin Drum (and Ghosts) was composed on a Prophet 5 with some Oberheim OB-X. You can get pretty close with the Prophet Rev2, and maybe the Prophet '08.
@@ciernyvlk8857 they are responsible for the pads, keys and bass...the FX sounds are Richards 700 they recorded those on tape. In recent versions of the track by Richard you can see him use the 700 on stage :)
I love Rolands stuff but I won't buy anymore other than the filter I have. I want normals traced on the face-plates. I know Roland has a motif. But I don't want to memorize the normals of every single module that I have. At a minimum, offer alternative face-plates. I like the MKS style of text and how everything is clearly labeled. But there has to be some consideration of normals and perhaps traces showing what's going where. Workflow always seems to be overlooked.

Just Love The Sounds You Get Out Of The 500 Sys Rkid
Great stuff Ben! The 555 is an awesome module that any system could benefit from :) Thanks for this and Happy father's day
Man! So much to learn. Thank you 🍻

what a great evnvelopgenerator , very useful teaching session
Thanks Ben....Ive learnt alot!!☺🙌
lots of knowledge :) this system is ace!
Thanks for making such an awesome video Ben just getting into sample and hold and this is top stuff

Know it's been a bit, but what's generating the sequence at 24:50? This is the kind of basslines I'm after. Sounds fantastic with the portamento!
