Love that mic!
Love it!
Sounds great, Thanks!!
Thank you very much ! Great gift !
05:00 I've been using autocolor-icon for years and never thought of having an automatic random color for each new created track... Simple and genius idea ! :)
00:27 such a great action... Had no clue it existed until then !
Great video ! Intending to use this for my android smartphone to move virtual mics around in the DynIR virtual guitar/bass cabinet section of the Two Notes Genome plugin.
Very cool idea
About XY touchpad thing, i also recommend the following video : Buttons, Faders, & Radio Buttons (Ultimate Guide to TouchOSC) Tim Corpus ruclips.net/video/A0QNnSBnv-U/видео.html
Thank you!
Awesome tip! Do you know if this hack is backwards compatible with Cubase 10.5? I attempted to mimic your settings with CSS and the transformer data didn't replicate. In fact, the transformer UI was very different, as expected. I'll continue to experiment, but any help in this would be most appreciated.
I don’t know but I’m sure it’s replicable somehow as the midi input transformer has been around for a while!
@@AlessandroMastroianni Thanks. I’ll keep playing with it.
just grab a glitch plugin and stop drooling over aphex twin who is prob laughing at you guys for fooling head over heels for this . i wonder how many people will actually use any of this sound design in a song .
Excellent. Really useful. Thanks for the heads up on your blog as well. Will definitely check out.
Thank you so much!
This video doesn't have many views (understandably so) but I love topics like this so it was helpful. I'd really love to know what your process is to track your time. I struggle with tracking my time, especially if I want to track multiple categories.
I tend to use different calendars in Google Calendar and then use a tool like this one google-calendar-hours.com to calculate how many hours went into each calendar (basically I have 1 calendar for each category in the video)
great tips
Thank you!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this
🙏
Well, this is just brilliant and I will implement it for sure in my Cubase ❤

Probably one of the best tutorials I've seen on building your own Kontakt instrument - even if it goes by really fast! I don't suppose be interested in, or have the time, to do a deeper dive on how to build your your Kontakt instrument from scratch?
That would be fun! I might do it

Great video!
i went with a tiptop audio mantis for my first rack
The reset function (longpress run and loop) doesn't seem to do anything here. When I hold run some of the faders are lighting up even if they are turned all the way down. Also the thing plays random notes from sliders that are all the way down. What am I missing?
Nevermind, I'm slowly figuring it out. Was starting to think my unit was flawed, but seems for the reset function I was holding both buttons instead of holding run and then pressing loop. Still not sure why the notes were triggering without the sliders being up, but I'm sure there is a good reason that I'll figure out after a while. What an amazing module btw! Great work!
Can this do unquantized like Rene?
I don’t think so
@@AlessandroMastroianni hmm. Your review was great. Thanks for the video. I am looking for a sequencer and this one is up there. Rene v2 seems to be winning. How do you compare the sig to marbles? Or even Rene v2?
anybody fiigured out a way on how to do this in ableton without fiddling around with remote scripttig settings
I was so tempted to get one, your video inspired me go for it.
It’s so good 😊
Many thanks !!!
That's just a buffer effect. It's just the most basic granular engine lol is it not? 😅
One thing I dislike about the way it does multi-track operation is that if you switch from track A to B the sliders become "disconnected" and don't reflect the current state of the track. I'd like to see a mode where the additional track uses the same sequence but reevaluates the probabilities. This way if you have to VCOs they'd play on the same "scale" and changing the sequence would change the pitch of both VCOs at once. It would make it far more playable.

A useful short cut to getting things working between an iPad and a DAW. TouchOSC can be very difficult to understand…
It can! Thanks for watching
Definitely a shorcut compared to the very long Tim Corpus TouchOSC videos :)
great stuff
Great work, thank you very much
Thank you for these explanations! Could you explain to us how to connect audio speakers to the modular system and with which module please ? 😊
Grazie mille, genio!
Don’t know about genio but thanks ;)
@@AlessandroMastroianni Niente falsa modestia! :-D After having read the manuals several times and watched tutorials I still could not understand what exact steps were needed. Your video was spot-on and easy to understand despite me using a different DAW. That's what genius is. Thanks again!
Sounds beautiful. Is this gear for only long sustains or would we be able to get short oohs and aahs? Looking for something to create standard ooh aah backup vocals. I wasn't sure if adjusting the attack would enable a believable result for that.
You can probably approximate that sound, or you can try using one of the rhythmic articulations, but this was certainly made with sustained/textural sounds in mind :)
@@AlessandroMastroianni Thank you. I appreciate the information.
Your video is amazing!! Thank you! Question: how do you operate both power and connectivity between an eurorack and semimodulars like the Moog Mavis and/or Behringer Pro-1?
You need a separate power supply (although the Mavis can be installed in a Eurorack case and get power from it). You can use regular patch cables to patch the semi modular with the modular!
Bro you rock, thank you!!!
sold! such a great creative tool - thnaks a bunch for sharing it with our world!
Thank you so much ❤️
Brilliant! Did you use the Percall for the stereo effects on the radio? I'm thinking about getting the kit from Thonk. The dimension you built with all that movement back and forth is just beautiful.
Percall goes through Soundstage, that gives the stereo effect. If I remember well I was switching Soundstage outputs with a Doepfer sequential switch
Perhaps making the User Zone more visible upfront can make users notice it more
Good feedback, but we like for it to be a little secret 🤐 🤫

Im so glad it was helpful!
love it, great stuff Alessandro
Thank you David!
Question. When you have only set the notes in one octave. And you start to use Linearity. Does it break the set rules(of only operating in 1 octave) and wanders to different octaves or is it playing linear in the set octave?
Just got my Clep Diaz the other day and already having a blast with it. I haven't tried quantizing it for pitch, but that's on the list of things to try...
It’s a super fun module
Is this Cubase 12? It seems Cubase have changed things in 13, tried it?
It is indeed 12
@@AlessandroMastroianni Ok. Maybe you should try the free demo of 13? It seems like you can route audio direct now.
