The last Eurorack sequencer you might ever buy: DROID Moto Kit Demo mylarmelodies 2024-05-13 | Imagine you could buy an uber-hands-on 4-track performance sequencer with haptic motorised faders, but you could modify or totally redesign how it works - as your interests change? The "DROID Moto Kit" (running the included Motor Fader Performer Sequencer patch) is that thing. It's 'done', and powerful...AND it can be changed. In this video I'll introduce the DROID system, explain basic track creation 5:41, and then jam from 14:57 onwards.Thanks for Der Mann mit Der Maschine for hiring me to demo the Moto Kit. Given that this was designed by someone who actually plays live, you might expect that my next step is to try this as my live case sequencer.

Ways to program drums, but keep it satisfying: Tubbutec 6m0d6 Demo (TR-606 clone!) mylarmelodies 2024-04-17 | This is a blend of: A 606 clone eurorack module demo (the LPZW/@tubbutec 6m0d6), and a tutorial - laced with tips and tricks - exploring 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=CwmQJDaR7LixtWpHHappy 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.

Acid Techno Jam 5000 MILES APART IN REAL TIME mylarmelodies 2023-11-15 | Here's a proof-of-concept jam/hangout I had with @thelastdoreo...when we were 5000 MILES apart. But this test proved, we could play in tight sync. How?! So this was done with free software called #Ninjam... EXPLAINER BELOW!! 👇⚡️ Join The Patreon Community at: patreon.com/mylarmelodies ⚡️ 🙀 OK HOW WAS THIS DONE?! Ninjam is a free plugin which sends audio on a roundtrip, in realtime, between two or more people. The trick to defeating latency it turns out, is to introduce a LOT of it. In fact, it introduces a reliable and long 1+ bar latency so that if you can start your gear in time with the software, it'll maintain the timing relationship for your session reliably due to the long delay. The REALLY weird thing is that you are not in fact hearing the same mix as each other, since you must hear your own music overlaid over the other person's with a different timing offset. You each hear your music overlaid over each other's music differently. Yet for continuous grooves etc like this, it still works, you never realise it. As you can hear us discuss, it's helpful to respect the '1' downbeat in Ninjam/Jamtaba to help make the offset as similar for every player.In this jam, I'm in the UK playing the Roland T8 (plus Eventide H90 FX & some modular noises!) into Ableton Live with Jamtaba client, and @thelastdoreo in the USA plays Modular + Digitakt for drums, using Reaper and Ninjam, and is hosting the server privately. In fact my T-8 isn't actually sync'd to Live, I manually stop start it at the beginning of the video to get the timing spot on.This was the first time we'd used Ninjam. We're going to learn more about the nuances of doing this and then I'll make a tutorial to explain the technique, for now, hope you enjoy the jam session as much as we did and if you have any tips on using Ninjam please share them!SUPPORT THE CHANNEL▶︎ Join the Patreon at: patreon.com/mylarmelodies NINJAM & JAMTABA▶︎ Jamtaba: jamtaba-music-web-site.appspot.com (Should work in many other DAWs - I had to manually try to open the .component to get it to open properly in OS Ventura as it's not Notarised properly)▶︎ Ninjam: cockos.com/ninjam (Works just with Reaper)▶︎ Article about this: ableton.com/en/blog/together-apart-remote-jamming-with-speedy-jCREDITS▶︎ @thelastdoreo is a Patron, I'm grateful for him for setting up the server and getting this to work.

This means they sent modules to use as well as paying me back for the several days of time and effort to research, set up, shoot and edit the video, and I do my best to show and explain what I think is interesting/unique about it, to help find people who have been looking for something like this, and so help them keep making more cool modules (and help in some small way to maintaining Eurorack as a viable market so we ALL get more cool things!!). This is a demo video, a demonstration of sound and capabilities, not a review, where it is assumed you accept the opinion of a third party. Use its truthful depiction of the features and capabilities, along with other research, to form your own opinion as to whether the product has value for you, taking its cost into consideration. Let it be known that you are only seeing this video because the author is confident he can recommend it.
