Maths 202 - Four pitch CV patches - Generative Sequencing, Arpeggios, Vibrato & Portamento

The second of my deep dive videos into the Make Noise Maths (and Behringer Abacus) is going to focus on pitch generation (Generative sequencing & Arpeggios) and manipulation to add accents through Vibrato & Portamento. Who needs a sequencer when you have Maths?

I’m just getting into modular after years of standalone synthesizers. Thank you kindly for putting these videos out there, it makes the transition much easier and less daunting

[letsgetyucky]

The Arpeggiator tip alone has brought me hours of joy and discovery. Thanks for the awesome tutorial series! I’ve tried to understand and recreate these concepts in VCV Rack using purpose build modules but that never really clicked with me in a practical sense. The fact that your videos start from first principles and use the fundamental basics makes it so much easier to understand and to replicate with whatever it is you have on hand.

Using Maths as a master controller for sequencing accents is genius. So much fun!

[blackrazorus]

Another super-useful video. Really clear and well explained- your diagrams are excellent!

[piotrjanowski]

By far the best explanation not only of Maths itself but also modular in genral. Thank You for making these tutorials!

[notsospy]

Your understanding of Maths, the way you explain things so succinctly, and the fact it's all freely available... You're definitely one of the Gods of Eurorack! Thank you so much for everything, this lesson especially absolutely blew me away with how much it's possible to get done with just one Maths in your rack! A must-watch series for anyone even remotely interested in modular synthesis!

lol this might be the first time in my life I subbed to someone before the video even started playing XD

[justmakenoise-wwyq]

very useful, thank you very much, greetings from Austria

[kirkyoung]

dare I say best patch vids on youtube? Absolutely love the content and I learned a lot!

Many, many thanks MCPM for putting together a very instructive video on Maths which is a staple module in a Eurorack Modular; but, also a very challenging module to understand and to incorporate into patches (at least for this old guy).

In discovered this video via Reddit this morning and wanted to thank-you for the very instructive video. It isn’t often that such work is done in a professional manner complete with downloadable diagrams. You have won me as a follower.

I just have one tiny suggestion though (which I am sure are in the diagrams); but a simple list of the modules used in the demos under the description and discussion topic time tables would be of great help as well.

Thanks for all your work‼️

Thank you so much for taking the time to help with your tutorials.

[degstep]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! I enjoy

[Hessencemusic]

I cannot say enough thank your time and this amazing tutorials. Thank you so much. You are helping us "A LOT" getting deeper in modules like this.
May I ask you for making a video about what you consider the most under-rated modules and why we should include them? from someone with your knowledge that would be really helpful. I see that you have a lot of NLC modules.. not too many videos about them and with not the most attractive faceplates, but may be they deserve more ;)

[spencerfairchild]

awesome video, this series is really helping me understand maths more and make it more manageable. thank you so much!!

[gayew.]

This is fantastic, thanks for sharing!!

[zkp]

Great followup vid. Both have been helpful.

[denniso]

Those videos are helpful and efficient!

[joelkulesha]

Great info and well explained! Thanks :)

[RobHurd]

So good. Looks like I need to get myself a quantizer. :)

[rhampton]

You got that right....😁😁😁, , , the Least well understood. For sure.... I'm probably going to get one sooner or later...I was debating whether I should get the Befaco version but I really like Make Noise products because I already have a few already... thanks for your video
