Yeah, a wrap-up about how to create a track base would be nice

Happy to cover Preset Chains :slight_smile:

Can you elaborate? I’m not sure what you mean by “track base”.

Cheers!

Would love to hear about your take on how to achieve tempo variance in a non-swing way!

So many potential ways to do that, agree it would be an interesting topic!

A month ago I spent some time researching tips for composing rhythm on Metropolix, and came across Ihor’s excellent video with some pointers. Some more depth here would be great!

Maybe some music theory stuff such as musical applications of ROOT, SCALE, PITCH POST modulation. :slight_smile:

Looking forward to it. Racheting control is still a little fuzzy for me, as is preset chaining. I’m getting a handle on the Accum now. Some menus seem difficult at first, then need to remember the second press to get deeper, etc. Mostly learning stuff. I’d also like to set-up A/B outs as a Patch/Setting selector, for those modules that support it (Tempi, Rene, Stillson Hammer, etc) - so that selecting a Metro preset selects the right preset for the other modules,etc. best, Tom

I would love to see an example of creating a two-track sequence without any menu diving…that would be inspiring! :swimming_woman:

would definitely like to see how the people who created the Metropolix envisage working with the Scales button. It’s a very powerful feature - I find myself ignoring all the presets and just muting pitches until I find something that works - but looking at all of those presets makes me wonder if I’m missing how its intended to be used…

Update — Some great questions so far! We’re waiting on some new lav mics to arrive so we can test a new setup with multiple people on the stream. They should have showed up on Friday, but are late. As soon as we know we are good to go, we’ll post the date.

Keep those questions coming!

More on Mod Lanes, please! a) Seeing Mod lanes in action with editing, performance, and workflow tips/tricks, b) Sharing some of the design process and intentions that went into Mod lanes, and c) Showing off some of the unintended and surprising uses of Mod lanes discovered by Intellijel peeps (IIRC y’all have been using it in your own music longer than we have. :slight_smile:) Thanks!

Yea thought that worked really well, the format, lots of inspiration and tips as it really is a deep module

You guys (you, @slowwild), were cranking out dope riffs yesterday! :clap:

My main takeaway was to use Pulses and Total Pulses more so I can be more liberal with my “playing” of the sliders and switches and don’t need to worry (as much) about things falling into musical armageddon.

I hope you can guys can continue to explore creative uses of both tracks in future videos.
