SSP getting started tutorial - what would you like to see?

[2disbetter]

The SSP is a powerful module. It is a sandbox by design and earns the title of massive modular in a module.

I’m putting together a tutorial, it’s not going to be fancy or come anywhere close to @NeilParfitt’s excellent ER-301 videos, but I think functionally it should be able to help all of you get much more out of your SSPs.

Do you have any ideas or request on things which are not clear to you or that you would like demonstrated?

Let me know here. I plan to be done with this tutorial the weekend of the 24th. (It would be sooner, but I’m away on business at the moment.)

I’d love to see a walkthrough of a musical application for each module, one at a time. Might be a bit more work than what you have in mind though?

[2disbetter]

No that’s a good suggestion! This is really just the in and outs of adding a module, connecting one, and using midi and the input/outputs to do stuff with them. What you’re suggesting what take quite a bit more time but…

I do think in the process of demonstrating that you’ll see some of the things I’ve been doing musically with some of them. Although some of it may be quite obvious and not much of a revelation.

[NeilParfitt]

thx man!

I feel with any video in a series for this type of gear… you can either split operating concepts and practical applications into separate vids OR demonstrate the latter by slowly incorporating the concepts with the ‘real’world’ use.

Whatever makes the most sense and feels right to explain.

[analoc]

I think beginners would benefit hugely by explaining the patching system in one video.

[2disbetter]

Absolutely! This is the primary goal of the video.

[tiger001]

and maybe the in/out assignments ; they took me a look time to figure out
(but so flexible)

[Martin]

Excellent, what I’ve been waiting for and requesting, yes @analoc, the patching system, everything from ground up, how to chain modules, getting sound out/in (both modular and sound to computer), assigning internal outputs/inputs. Your first patch to complex patches and especially when something new is introduced. Anyway, I will shut up now. Thank you

[dare]

Aside from a getting started video which would be fantastic I would love to hear someone bang out a simple techno jam or something. A bunch of sampled drums, some sequenced bass and synth leads etc… Just to watch the workflow of a track creation that isn’t to abstract might be cool to give a good foundation understanding of it as a practical instrument.

[tiger001]

my (MIDI) sequences are ready, just waiting for (multi) timbral functionality in the MIDI module to shoot

[Martin]

Multi-timbral? not only MIDI but multi-channel, is this something that is going to happen, or a wish list. Glad I’ve got the careless whisper midi file, sorry that’s not techno is it.

[tiger001]

so you’ll be in the footsteps of george michael then?
(or is your thing more Andrew Ridgeley?)

i’m thinking Debussy or Switched-on-Bach too
but for that to work i need to be able to assign multiple timbres/modules
and that is not possible right now
as the MIDI is omni in/on
just a simple parameter to choose a MIDI channel would be a help

i think what @tiger001 meant is multi channel support instead of the omni functionality in the midi module. so you can set a midi module to only listen to one channel. That is already on my list. I think i’ll add a channel parameter and omni switch.

[Martin]

Lol, I did own a pair or ripped jeans and a leather jacket at different times, but they weren’t for Wham. George rest is sole was a pretty talented songwriter, what a great idea to ask benefits to pay for your entry into the charts.

I am liking the idea of using the masters at instrumentals idea for SSP, you can ask B&C to introduce a module that handles the harmonic series.

[tiger001]

lol, i feel the advent of a great duo here

-if multi channel, we can built a multi timbral module ourselves

great work @bert & @celine

[2disbetter]

BTW, I’m still working on this. I had first take, and it just wasn’t as good as I thought it was, so I’m redoing it. Hopefully will have it out around this weekend.

[JohnWise]

I just got my first in-person look at the SSP at Synthplex in L.A. this weekend and I’m now looking to learn more about this rapidly evolving module. Are some new tutorials getting closer to reality?

[2disbetter]

Yep, I would still like to put a homemade tutorial video out there. I wanted to finish up a VST (quad matrix vca) I was working on to go along with it, as I think that is a compelling part of the SSP.

Superbooth is right around the corner, and I’d like to have it done before that!

this is a good start -
