thank you :) I think metropolis is better for hands on sequencing / live pattern evolving, the Rene is very nice too, but more experimental, for randomness, cross-modulation etc
i love both, eloquencer for programming, metropolis for improvisation. most of the time i use them simultaneously, having the metropolis pitching the eloquencer tracks. will do a vid on that soon
@@DominikVogelModular, thank you! I have the Stillson Hammer mk2 but I have often wondered about the simplicity of the Metropolis and always being able to see where the sequence is. It just looks like a very enjoyable to use module. I look forward to seeing more of your videos if you are so inclined. Have a great day!
noob question, what module is going to the aux inputs of the metropolis? im trying to figure out the possibilities i have with aux a and b, thanks for the video btw.
depends on what you want to achieve and which parameter aux a and b are modulating. for example gate length can be modulated with any LFO or Envelope for "gliding" transitions, if you patch a gate or s&h you will get "sudden" changes etc
Thanks for your explanation. How can I change the root note with AUX. I want a sequence to be transpose from e.g. a to c. I would like to do that with the AUX and external sequencer e.g. Eloquencer.
the AUX inputs have the function „ROOT“, which shifts the root note according to the CV you send there. btw, i´m doing the same thing but the other way round: my metropolis shifts the root note of my eloquencer patterns (since metropolis has more steps in a sequence than one eloquencer pattern).
if you were making a modular synth that you had to use for an extended period of time that would only have one dedicated sequencer, would you prefer to have this or Rene?
as main sequencer (if you need multiple sequencer or modulation tracks) I would absolutely recommend the eloquencer.. if it comes down between metropolis and Rene, it depends on your style.. metropolis is more direct, like programming a TR-style of sequencer, Rene is more experimental. for me its more important to program exactly what I want as fast as possible, so I´d go with metropolis.
@@DominikVogelModular hm. Im pretty sure i dont need eloquencer (a bit overkill for my plans). I think Rene would probably suit me best, thought it is somewhat hard to tell given how early i am into doing eurorack.
fixed mode and pulse count solve my biggest 'issue' with Metropolis. Thanks for explaining this!
that's nice to hear, thank you :)
Great overview, thank you. Couldn't decide between a Metropolis and Rene 2 as my first sequencer, but now I'm leaning towards the first.

Good trip cuz
Great tutorial! I see the Eloquencer to the right. Which one do you enjoy using more often? Thanks!

it can do many great things. to bad the price is way, way to high
not more than other quality eurorank gear imo.. ^^ personally I buy almost all my gear used via small ads etc
@@DominikVogelModular yes right, but "all" of the eurorack stuff is overpriced. same here. 99% used. but also used: 400 are 400euros ^^
