MODULAR Synths - Become An EXPERT In 10mins (eurorack tutorial)

So very important to have basics laid out in such a clear and "unglammed" way for folks who're just starting out and/or planning their own modular synth. Thank you sooooo much for this❣

👌

Interesting 🧐 Thanks!

always fun to watch a totally basic explanation of sth you know by heart :) well done, well explained, marvellous video!

Your tube is awesome!
I have struggled to grasp the basics for so very long, now I get it 🤯
Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge 🙌

As always super clear, super amazing explanation of everything and just love watching you guys. Cheers!

Great to see you back doing what you (and so many of us) love. Thanks for these amazing tutorials.

Simply amazing what you offer the world. Thank you for all you do.

Can you send me info on the modular case in this video?

I've had many hours of quality time watching all of your past videos and would watch them religiously when uploaded. Good to see new content.

Great beginners guide.

Something I'd like to see that's a lot more complicated but I'm still wrapping my head around would be sample & hold.

Hey Christian. I was the lucky winner of your stinky bag (your words, not mine!) back in the November live stream, but I'm still walking around carrying everything in my two year old Aldi carrier bag with a hole in the bottom. I need that stinky bag!

Awesome! Thanks Christian!

This is brilliant the amount of ppl ive seen jump head first and give up three months later i know have a place to send them .I cant lie ppl come to my studio see my wall go home and spend a few thousand then call me im a musician not a teacher but this is simple straightforward to the point def subbed and ordering a few things love the shirts

This is probably the best explanation of synthesis I have ever watched. Simple and effective. Well done.

Never had the chance to play around with modular but pretty familiar with the individual components. Reminds me of building music/audio stuff in pure data

The quality of these tutorials is absolutely stunning. Well done, Christian.

Where's dead beans crying about nonsense though? His recessive genes must be boiling, each and every one of both of them 😂

Nice to have you back Christian 🎉 I'd say the most important thing to understand about modular is the difference between AC and DC though... Everything can be CV, and everything can be audio, when you understand this and how to use rectifiers etc... Good video though, cheers!

Very well explained

Great stuff, Christian. You need to get yourself a nutty professor's wig next time.

Another great video and a great intro to synthesis👍. It’s definitely true that learning about modular helps you pick up almost all software synths very quickly. It would be great to expand on this in so many ways, but before expanding the rest I think what beginners most need is going into detail about signal path, which is shown here, but so easy to misunderstand and confuse people when picking up synthesis for the first time (and even for some experienced users!) Once I was taught signal path properly, everything fell into place so much more easily and manipulating sounds was so much less of a ball ache!

Thank you for this guys!

How big are your poster sized sheets? I cannot print out? Too low Resolution.

Christian it's so good to see you happy and energised and doing what you do best - so chuffed you're on this new adventure, and thank you!

Yes, now after the video i am a expert. I started applying for jobs in the field

Thank you for doing this Christian .Ive always loved the sound of Modular Synths,just found it hard to get my head around them ,so to speak.

Thank you Christian -
this is really helpful
Something I really want to get into, but had no idea where to start

More modular tutorial or patch breakdown would be great

Very nice and informative. Thanks

That. Was. Incredible.

❤

Very well explained! Enjoyed the video 👍

This is a really useful video - thanks for that.

Great !!!

Blagtastic.

this type of clarity... especially at this pace... deeply appreciated. thanks so much!!

❤thankyou

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 so much clear now thanks!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

I like to use the LFO as a VCO ngl

This is a really good video! You're doing an amazing job with breaking down seemingly complex facets of music creation. 👏👏

I’ve been involved in the eurorack scene for a number of years now, and I have to say it’s refreshing to see someone explaining things to new or curious enthusiasts in such a non-gatekeeping way. Cheers to you. Job well done. ❤

Great tutorial. Thank you, Christian!

Well…why didn’t somebody just SAY SO
(20 years ago) ?

If you create the cheat sheet as a t-shirt I'll buy it. (a nice grey or mushroom with the luminous yellow)

Would you ever do a hardware module do you think? I'm not sure if anyone has put an existing sample instrument into that format, have they? Or even a collab between a sample library company and a modular maker? (There's that Sequential Prophet XL synth with 8Dio libraries in it, but that's about it).

In a standard basic monophonic voice like a 101 the filter is before the vca ... am i right?

If there was anyone currently living in our time capable of putting even the most of demanding topics and subjects in the proverbial nutshell.... for anyone with half a brain they'd have to say your name for it. So good. Even Simpleton me gets an idea as to how sound synthesis works in general. Then to think of the minds who came up with this idea out of thin air and brought it from between only their own ears into the hands and ears of everyone.... has to command respect and even adulation, doesn't it? Wow. (I'm typing this seeing this image of Hans Zimmer or Steve Porcaro in front of their modular rigs 8n my mind back in the days when music progressed from analog to digital)

Great Stuff. Really helpful. Thank you.
