This is a demo of the LPZW/@tubbutec 6m0d6 (A 606 clone module!), AND a tutorial about three increasingly weird ways to trigger and modulate (drum) modules in general - using Gate & CV, Trigger Riot, and sneaky tricks in Ableton Live & MIDI. The overall theme is: Keeping the results “musical” and satisfying.
We'll also make a generative sequencer with the Mutable instruments stages and use it to control the excellent Doepfer A-111-6. We'll drive it with the Music Thing Mini Drive. We'll turn the Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot into a modulation sequencer. We'll then use Ableton Live and we'll absolutely smash this thing to bits with some simple but very interesting methods to get completely wild patterns, that would take a LOT of modules to do in analog-land.
One thing I forgot to show/demo! It responds to dynamic triggers (eg gates of differing heights) which is very cool - here’s a new video Tubbutec did that covers this: youtu.be/XX-1OImcIXg?si=CwmQJDaR7LixtWpH
Happy days.
📕 FURTHER READING 📕
If you liked the last section, I thoroughly recommend you watch some tutorials by @asd_asd_asd_asd whose video showed me the arpeggiator technique. Really interesting techniques that get us out of old pattern habits. Here's the video that inspired this (seek out the rest!): youtube.com/watch?v=WXzDesXWA3I
