Modules I NEVER Use & Modules I ALWAYS Use

Within like 10 hours, both Intellijel and Pittsburgh Modular hunted me down with their amazing customer service and asked to fix the issues I mentioned. So for what it's worth, I should have said this in the video: Every company has defective modules, I was just too lazy to do anything about them. I'll be happy to finally have the Plonk experience everyone is raving about. :)

The disting is a menace to use but for me works as a set and forget it type deal. It's similar to the OandC for me. At the moment I have disting as a master clock using the LFO mode and thats more than good enough by my books.

You need morphagene and data bender

LOL -The "Embarrassing brand" sticker on the Neutron hits home - I covered every Behringer logo on the gear I own!

Qu bit knowingly released nebulae with a bunch of bugs they didn’t wanna fix in order to meet their release date. I was there

I named my system 1 "winona" as a reference to the show farscape

lol agree giving human names to inanimate objects hella weird. I named my modular "time space manipulator" 😂

Mine is Winona (a Farscape reference)

This was great. I've been looking into starting a modular setup and I've been overwhelmed by a lot of the different things out there. This showed me what a lot of things do better than 20 minute videos of some guy going "umm" and "uhh" while he tries to overexplain a single item.

"I know we have very strict rules against romantic entanglements with our modular-synthesizers, but at this point in time, we can't stop them from having hearts. These two are clearly in love. If they want to express that love in a perfectly healthy way, then... okay, hold on. Th... is this what I think it is? That got unhealthy real quick. That... okay, that's... yeah, that's weird. That is well out of the mainstream. You know, I was raised in the... the Bay Area, but I... I'm a father now."

can you play thru it like an effect volcaBeats with fl studio DD400 BERHINGER MIXER channels and it made different sounds from the in like the video .

i feel like this is just an elaborate way to trade modules he doesnt like lmao

Can you do another updated one of these vids? Very interesting to see where you are at now

Lmao subway

Ice cream truckee sound? Ok. THAT is brill!

"embarrassing brand" is lame. Use tools that actually make the sounds you want regardless of brands.

Can’t believe you haven’t seen a proper maths emulation or furthermore better DUSG. Check out falistri, rampage, serge dusg.

Great video very clean way of looking at used/not used gear.

Thank you for this video.

im just glad i picked pretty much the same coremodules :DD good to hear you keep them haha. elements rings etc

Did you inherit $4M?

Rings!! Yay! 😆 I started about a year ago and slowly building, up to 5 currently. Rings was my first module, the went for a midi to cv to use it with a keyboard lol. I still love it.
The Disting is one of my other modules which I think it’s a great module when starting out cause it will let you try all kinds of things with your other modules and see what things to go for in the future 😜.
Thanks for the input!!

Hi Benn! I know this is an old video, but with Mutable Instruments sadly sunsetting, I have a MI-related question based on a couple of your modules here. I'm also new to modular, so pardon any obliviousness. Two of your keepers here are Elements, and Rings. I picked up Rings, having already been convinced by some other deep dives. You say of Elements that you use it in (at the time) 70% of your patches, and you note its range and versatility. Later you mention Rings, which is derived from Elements, but say you use it 30% of the time as it's a 'unique sound' (meaning identifiable?) So, my question is, can you say any more about the difference between Elements and Rings in terms of their sonic character and range, and why? And, can you speculate at all about use cases in which Elements and Rings are used side by side, perhaps even feeding into one-another? Thanks for any thoughts whatsoever! (Also, given your appreciation for Mutable Instruments, I'd love to see you do a video demo of just MI units 'for posterity'.

Shut up with your equal value

Very nice rack and modules!! What Kind of Mixer habe beside of the modular right from it?

Thank you for this extraordinary Video.

Mine is called “The Rave Machine”

Is there a video on this channel or another that goes over every module type on modulargrid or VCV and what that type is used for

can i get some advice heres what im currently building Music things modular mkII Expander, Music things modular turing machine, Erica synths quant, Eculidian Circles, Spherical Wavetable Navigator, Starlab Time-Warped Reverberator, Stages, Plaits, Beads

Me :damn no daw

Wow, we've come a long way to have the Braids be considered old school :(

you should do a video where you only use the modules you never use

how patronizing is he? A grifter full of rage and anger, and creapy as f*ck

Thank you...good video and very helpful!

Genuinely love your humour.

Has that unreleased module been released already? What was it?

Having been on the fence about modular synths for awhile now, you did not help my decision…. 😅

Is your case homemade or purchased? If purchased, who was mftr? Thanks!

dude you crack me up !!

best video <333 subway.

I ordered a behringer neutron as my first modular/semimodular experience. It’s hasn’t arrived yet but I’m excited to get it.

Try my Nebulae v2 'e352 cloud terrarium-ish' wavetable alternative instrument called Avalon 😅 I'll bet it goes from 5% to at least 50% of usage 🤣

Intellijel Plonk and Moog DFAM, a marriage made...

I love the A-152, would love to see how you use it. The T&H is so much fun to mess with.

The module he covered with his phone is the Empress Effects ZOIA Euroburo. It's a eurorack version of their wildly popular ZOIA modular multi-effect guitar pedal, and it is indeed amazing!

Hi an amazing wall 😎😍😎 and a very interesting clip 😋 subbed you 4 more content, c ya
