Eurorack live patch explained - part 3: Clock, Mixing and flexibility

Hey there! Welcome to part three of this short series explaining the patch on my eurorack system for live-sets. Today we go over how everything is clocked and triggered, how I mix it all together, and finally I have a few tips to keep a live patch flexible, and to prepare for a few things that can go wrong during a liveshow!

Check out the first two videos in this series if you want to learn more about the basic patch I use to create melodies and the percussive pats of this live-patch. And consider subscribing if you want to see more! :)

Here’s the timetable:
00:00 - Intro
00:38 - Clock
01:46 - Mixing
04:25 - Flexibility
07:15 - Safety

Hi there! This is the last of the re-uploads from my main Monotrail channel before I start uploading new content! I decided to split this series up from the weekly musical experiments, so people can subscribe to that what they like, and YouTube will know better what’s what :) If you want to help me in this endeavor a like/subscribe for this brand new and lonesome channel will help a lot :) All the best!

Thanks for this serie of videos! I bought a neutron and a SQ-1 a few weeks ago as a starting brick for a modular system. I'm having a lot of fun with it and I'm planning to buy a few modules. Your videos (both jam and tech talk) are a great source of inspiration, so... thanks again!

I very glad to find your channel. I learn a lot about modular synth. Hopefully more in the future.

This is excellent. Lots of stuff out there demonstrating either individual modules or patch demos but not a lot on making it all work together. Please keep these videos coming.

Great series! I hope to see you some day performing live!

Can you plug the hot levels from the eurorack directly into an external mixer? Or does it need to have a PAD function?
Great Tutorial btw :) Hopefully I will start my eurorack journey soon

What do you think about using eurorack mixer such as hexmix+hexpander instead of outboard mixer? Apart from obvious space and money difference, do you think it could be just as good choice?
