In the kria strategies thread I volunteered to make a comprehensive tutorial video to help explain how to use kria, as there were a few people who weren’t quite getting a few things, especially the configuration settings.
Here is my kria video tutorial! I hope that some of you may find it useful in becoming familiar with or learning new things about this fantastic sequencer:
I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have about the video or kria. If the configuration settings still seem a bit confusing, then maybe I’ll make a separate video that demonstrates how the different settings work. But hopefully this video will be enough.
this is fantastic— thank you for taking the time. there are so many new features in kria— it’s great to see an overview as the older videos really just show the fundamentals.
I noticed the hole and the demand. This is my way of giving back to this community that I have really benefited from! I don’t have things like coding skills to offer so very happy to be able to offer this as something else. Not to mention it was a nice little project to keep me busy for a week during lockdown here in Melbourne Thank you for all the amazing tools and excellent community that you’ve developed
Haven’t watched this yet but thank you in advance. Kria is the most obtuse mode, so it’s also the one I have put the least time into. I want to change that.
This is great - thanks! Very interesting to see which configuration settings you use too - I feel that each of these combinations turns Kria into a different kind of instruments, so it’s intriguing to see how different players set it up differently. I keep my loop lengths unlinked because I love having the alt note page looping at a different length to the main note page to get evolving phased patterns, but it definitely gets a bit confusing at times!
Your tutorial was so so helpful. I agree that the configuration settings are critical to getting the “most” or getting what one wants out of Kria. That being said, It would be awesome to see how the different settings can be used for varying effect. I.E. if you take a simple sequence on 2 different tracks, what happens when you change the loop length on the note page when note and gate length are linked, vs unlinked, per track, and across tracks, etc…I find that this is where I often get confused on what the glyphs do. If you have it in your heart to make a video demonstrating those different settings, that would be awesome.
Also, I never realized that the probability function works the way that you explained. From your explanation, I understood that if you made the probability 0, that if there was a gate at that step, it would repeat the same CV/Note from the previous step. Whereas, I had thought that if you made the probability 0, then the note/gate would be skipped. But I suppose that for that behaviour to be true I would have to change the probability to zero on the gate page itself…
