Ieaskul modules as a system? 

 by ym2612 » Tue Jun 02, 2015 1:25 pm
I've read comments here and there on the forum about how the Ieaskul F. Mobenthey modules apparently work very well
together as a complete system, but there was little elaboration on the fact in any case. I'd be curious to hear impressions
from folks who may have used them together on their own (or mostly so - it seems you would have to add some mixing and
maybe some S&H to really get going with them). They do seem to be designed in a very patch-programmable, multi-use,
Serge-like way that I'd imagine would make a very nice system. Thoughts? Sounds?

I'm planning on buying all the Mobenthy modules and a couple expert sleepers modules to control them from my computer,
and that's it!

I've been using 2 Swoops, a Sport Modular, Mixiplexer, Snazzy FX Telephone Game (which I still haven't gotten a good grasp
of yet), and a VCAM as a small system. I'm not going to stick with it much longer, as I really want a Hurdy Gurdy and have
enough other gear to stay busy with....
but I really love the two Swoops as a complex oscillator pairing. I haven't used any of the other Mobenthy modules, so
perhaps this is totally unhelpful, but if I were going to keep them I'd look into adding the the Sprott filter, as the Sport
Modulator isn't filtering things in a way that I'm into (and I haven't actually tied used a Swoop as a filter yet...).

Does the Swoop do slew-type tasks like a DUSG? I forgot to try that aspect of it when I demoed the IFMs at Control, or at
least, I wasn't aware of how to do it. I noticed that it seems to go a lot higher than the other DUSG clones in Euro.
I would love to have a smallish IFM system for travel and performance, with mixing, S&H, and 1/4" outs. Maybe a comparator
or two, too, if there's room.
I like how there are so many multipurpose VCAs in different parts of the modules. I guess one could mix using the Sprott,
but that could get weird.

I haven't explicitly tried that yet. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow.

I'm not sure what your approach to playing is, but in my little system, all I have are knobs and wires, and I really miss some
sort of gestural interface, like barres, or touch pads in order to be able to control everything.

Makes sense. I typically make generative, often feedback/chaos-oriented, patches and use them to explore subtleties or find
patterns, so knobs are typically enough for me. But I love playing the barres on the Shnth, in a totally different way.

An IFM system does make sense. I'm having all available modules besides a Fourses and that already is quite a versatile
setup. But it gains a lot of flexibility if you add other stuff to it. I like how it paires with a Wogglebug or a Sport Modulator.
Pressure Points are great too.
And gestural control is easily added. Just get some contact mics (or solder them yourself) with a mini jack and you already
have a good starting point. According to some posting from Peter B. the inputs are prepared for such high impedance. The
Mikrophonie module is also a good addition.

Yes, they are, the Barre Controller is just four Piezos with a bit wood around. Works well with the IFMs, but does nothing with
a few other modules I tried. So you can use Piezos directly.

I have built a small IFM system. It's fantastic. Dual Fourses and Swoop just really raised it to Serge level.

I control them with Barres and a Shnth plugged into the PTG (to amplify + env follower)
I should make a recording.

Well, my Swoops sold faster then expected, and I didn't have a chance to really figure out slewing.
I tried it a bit, but it didn't work as expect - I ran a signal into the bottom up input (although now thinking about it, I think I
had a bit of feedback going from the up done to the down input...), and it didn't really work. If I had a chance to try it now,
I'd give it a whirl without any other patching.

I don't think they slew. I tried out the Swoop at Control, and feeding a Wogglebug's stepped voltage into either of the top
outputs just changed the bounds with each step. It's fully an oscillator, no slew.
On the plus side, I did get some nice chaotic patching going between all three modules. It would be a lot of fun to play a
live free electronics/noise set with all four together.

@ym2612 let me know if there are some things in particular you'd like to see done. Hopefully this week I will have my
Fourses & Barre for a 'complete' IFM system.
Currently have Swoop (x2), Denum, Sprott, and Dunst - very much enjoying these modules on their own. I rarely reach
outside of them at the moment. Feel like the rest of my system is lonely, but will figure out a way to integrate with the other
modules at some point or will move the IFM stuff in its own rack.
Edit - I see @diasporos has a full setup as well. Either way, let me know if there is something you'd like to see and I'll do my
best.
Current setup:

Hi, i have a dunst, a swoop and a Sprott, looking at getting the fourses or a denum as well for my last more experimental rig.
I am loving these things. I would love if people would share how they are using them.
FOr my DUNST i am feeding it sound with a Mini-shimmery 'Drone' into it and sending it control with a Make Noise Maths
and it's crazy fun.

IFM and a few other modules. I have the materials to build my own barres. So I'm wondering: What IFM module should I start Location: Minnesota
out with that pairs best with piezo barres in the context of using it with other euro and eventually moving on to more IFM?
The "Barre" has 4 barres, so does that mean that a module like fourses or sprott works best with the Barre? I mostly want to
use the barres as control as opposed to audio.

Fourses is the captain but I think denum is made to be easily interfaced with the barres, like the bipolar VCA input that does
panning similar to the sidrassi

Loving my Fourses (totally the captain of my system at the moment) and Dunst for my glitch percussion/ambient setup. Was
planning on getting the Denum, Swoop, and Sprott, but just saw someone putting a Plumbutter up for sale in the FS thread
and been reading/video-ing about it, and now I"m all flustered.

So I'm planning my setup now, and initially I was thinking of just having:
1 x Fourses
1 x Swoop
1 x Sprott
(1 x Grassi) <-- this is more for a 'control' area

I'm now thinking of expanding that some, and want some input from those of you that have multiples in your system.
I want to expand it to have perhaps 2 x Fourses, but then have room for either another Swoop as well, but perhaps that
should be a Denum?
So if you had room for 5 IFM modules, what would you have? (given the scope of my system, a Dunst is low priority since I
can get noise/randomness elsewhere)
This is kind of where I'm at at the moment (sketch wise)

I have a system with 3x Fourses 3x Swoop Denum Sprott Dunst. Itʼs an amazing voice for noise and chaos. Just amazing. In
my opinion you have to have more than one of each to get a full sound.

I have the full system that Peter sells + the Mocante/Grassi combo and Iʼll echo what diasporos said...itʼs an amazing system Joined: Fri Oct 30, 2009 12:02 am
for noise, drones and general chaos. The Grassi module is really key to me, i feel like itʼs a must have element to a Location: New Jersey
mobenthey setup. Each of the 6 outputs can be sent to any input to create more chaos that changes as you touch the
pad...itʼs insanely fun. The denum and swoop modules can be put into service in more standard ways, but thatʼs not where
they shine imho...I use the mobenthey modules amongst themselves with no other euro and itʼs a killer system for wild noise
and drones... endless fun. The Mocante is a very cool element to add for even more noise, along with itʼs more pitched
organish type sounds which are great as well. I was going to expand it with another fourses and a couple others but after
using it for a few months Iʼm going to keep the standard setup Peter sells and not expand unless he introduces additional
modules...i feel the balance is perfect.
