Man, all these ideas are making me super bummed that my Er-301 order got canceled with no reopening date in sight :frowning:

I assume you all are buying them secondhand somehow - Or did your orders manage to go through?

I am thrilled- no, honored- to share with you all what is surely to be a runaway internet sensation: my iPhone-captured single take video about using buffers on the 301. There isnā€™t any new information here; sometimes it helps (me, anyway) to watch someone else set it up.

So, you all enjoy while I go find an agent. :laughing:

Hereā€™s a slightly better-looking example of how this kind of thing can be useful musically.

super helpful super useful. wish I had this video 2 year agoā€¦would have saved me hours of my life :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

great refresher. thanks for taking the time and sharing

Doing some Friday night patching using the method I wrote above to manipulate the Rhodes. Mixed with a mother 32. Just friends and cold mac modulating each other and keeping things fresh with FM modulating JF (One of my favorite new discoveries).

Came off just fine! Iā€™d rather see you make a video like this rather than letting some kind of perfection goal prevent it from happening.

Iā€™ve never done a live loop slice delay with the varispeed player. Thought it sounded cool! I can see where it could be even more interesting with a more groovy gate source. Will have to try this out.

Thanks! One of my very favorite things to do is send gates from crow that are being triggered by midi clips that were intended to be drum patterns from Live. Essentially, build a whole drum performance, and use that as the groove for triggering the slices. Then one can get creative with how to choose which slices, whether by hand, LFO, or anything else. My favorite (and most fun) adventure involves using some light-dependent resistors to scrub through the buffer (thereā€™s an Arduino Max plug-in which translates voltage into midi, which then gets translated back into voltage via Crow).

One day Iā€™m going to build an LED glove for really precise control of this rig. One day :laughing:

Just get an old Nintendo Power Glove. You can achieve what Nintendo had dreamed! Either that or a Nintendo WiiMote and pretend to be a conductor!

hey all, lots of great stuff in here! Iā€™m a new user of the er-301 and a cocoquantus 2 as of a few weeks now and have been having lots of fun patching the quantussy modulation into the er-301 and watching it on the scope.

it then hit me that I could probably build the quantussy in the 301! after a bit of research, ā€˜quantussy cellsā€™ have been an exploration point in eurorack for self-generative patches, but deemed difficult due to the number of modules and patch cables involved (each of the 5 cells needs an lfo/eoc trigger and 2 sample & holds). this would make the er-301 perfect as the only limitation would be cpu.

I think this would be a great first project to build to learn more about the two (itā€™s possible that most of the cocoquantus could be built w/ feedback loopers, delays + quantussy, reversed buffers, etc) but was wondering if anyone more experienced with the two would be down to help me troubleshoot? especially with er-301 custom-unit routing best practices and what is happening with the different leds in the middle of the quantussy/chaos knob. thereā€™s a good amount of documentation and a vcv rack port of quantussy cells to reference as well (many thanks to pugix for most of this).

if this sounds like something you might be able to help me with, or have any suggestions or reasons why this wouldnā€™t work, shoot me a pm :slight_smile:

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if thereā€™s a practical downside to sending audio into the A-D jacks? In terms of audio quality?

#476

If you donā€™t have significant energy over 30kHz, there is no downside.

Sweet. I suspected as much, but figured Iā€™d ask!

#478

So guitars and long form samples, cool. Real-time feed of something like a Mangrove; not?

#479

Donā€™t know too much about Mangrove but if it throws off a lot of frequencies above the range of human hearing, best to feed it into IN1-4.

Morphagene/ER-301 owners (current or former): do we feel like one can make Morphagene-esque things easily with the 301? Or is there enough solo mojo happening with the MG to merit having both? Most of my rack is built around mangling audio, so I learn toward ā€œbothā€, but wanted a few other opinions to consider. Thanks!

#481

Owned both and I could say that you could probably get enough (or more) out of the 301 where you wouldnā€™t miss the Morphagene. The immediacy of the Morphagene is nice though.

my setup is built around them both. while Iā€™m surprised at how close I can get sonically with the er-301 sometimes, I love the immediacy of the morphagene and that I can change a few values on the sd card and have it feel like a new module in two minutes. really love the tla/morph settings too.

make noise has some great videos on creative uses if you havenā€™t seen them. if I was pressed for money/space, I would keep the er-301 though.

Iā€™m planning to buy finally a Morphagene because it seems that a Morphagene isā€¦a Morphagene.

I guess that both can really work together.

I donā€™t really think that with the ER301 you are going to be able to ā€œcopyā€ the exact sounds or effects that other modules do, as they are dedicated tools for specific things with dedicated knobs. I also think that this wasnā€™t Brian intention when he designed it. Iā€™ve had 2 Morphagenes and I sold both of them, as although my ER301 is not doing the exact same things is a BEAST when I need to do granular things or sample mangling, and I can program it exactly to behave the way I like.

I have both and plan to keep both. Because the ER-301 is so versatile, it could help fill a Morphagene shaped hole in your setup but at the same time, it wonā€™t do what the MG does better than the MG and with the MG, the 301 can now fill other shaped holes.

I absolutely love the MG and always want it doing MG things. So, Iā€™m bias toward keeping a MG. For me, the 301 will always be the magic glue module, filling in spaces and bringing things together as my system grows/shrinks.
