Things you may have missed! 47 videos & 100s of patches // a DivKid 2023 Retrospective

Thanks for joining me for a retrospective look back at 2023 and the 47 videos uploaded throughout the year. It's been a pleasure to make 100s of sounds and patches and to be able to share those with you all here. I mentioned in the video that I've written about what's coming in 2024, new series, new ideas, changes, old ideas brought back from the dead. Check that out below.

WHAT'S NEW FOR 2024 //

*More DivKid - same great taste!*
Across this year you'll be getting plenty of the DivKid you know and love (hate or whatever). While there's new additions and ideas to bring to the channel these are very much extras added in, new toppings with sprinkles for the channel. These things won't replace or side step what I've been doing over the years

*New DivKid Modules*
Several new DivKid modules will release this year, whooo! The first one isn't too far into the future and the second I'm hoping isn't that far behind it. I'm pleased to say some new things will be with companies I've already collaborated with, others with new (new to DivKid collabs) companies too.

*Pedals and Patches*
Pedals and Patches is a new video series where I cover guitar FX pedals. Guitar FX pedals were the first thing that really grabbed my attention and made me think about sound, tone and manipulating it. Since then pedals have been a mainstay across various bands, projects, music production work and I still use them with synths and studio gear. I'll be covering pedals from the perspective of a creative studio environment and electronic music. I won't be busting out tube screamer led blues rock licks, rather pedals with modular, across mixing desks and with creative routings. My goal is to do one Pedals and Patches video per month through 2024.

*New synth formats*
As well as covering and working with Eurorack I'll be sharing videos with other synth formats, be they modular or otherwise I'm aiming to pull in a wider selection of things this year. Again, don't worry Eurorack videos aren't going anywhere.

*Better Bleeps*
Some of you may remember Better Bleeps. A series I started and then didn't manage to continue some time ago. The first two videos were on turning an oscillator into a drum kit (   • Turning one oscillator into a hybrid ...  ) and using logic to make melodies (   • Using logic to make melodies & harmon...  ). The idea of the series is to be gear agnostic, rather than not believing in one true gear god, simply to be non-gear-specific. Better Bleeps is all about techniques and ideas that you can apply regardless of the gear I demonstrate them on. It might be some music theory, production techniques, voltage manipulation and patch ideas but it won't be about a specific piece of gear. More of these videos are coming this year.

*Self Patched*
Again some of you may remember Self Patched, a series of around 10 videos (playlist here    • SELF PATCHED! a 'one module challenge...  ) where I self patch a single module. Literally one module. Think of it as a one module challenge meets experimental approach to feedback, noise and pushing gear into non standard behaviours. I'll be making a series 2 this year, produced as one big batch and released regularly, with the aim of taking a break then repeating that again later in the year for another series.

*New ideas*
I have lots of other ideas and things to come but I think that's plenty of announcements for now. If you have things you'd like to see me doing, leave a comment and let's talk about it.




**THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY ...** no one. Well no one specific to this video, however lots of the videos in this round up were sponsored and I'd like to thank everyone that supported what I do through 2023.
