Hemispheres for Ornament and Crime Part 1: Installation, getting started, and 5 patch ideas

Hemispheres is an alternate firmware for the Ornament and Crime Eurorack module. It completely changes how Ornament and Crime works by adding new ‘applets’ that can run in parallel, along with new applications for the module. The applets are simpler than the standard O_C applications, and are like utility modules for your patches

In this video (the first in a series on Hemispheres) I explain what Hemispheres is, how to install it, and show you how it’s different from the standard Ornament and Crime firmware. I also cover some of the applets in Hemispheres are show you example patches of using them. I’ve got more videos planned in this series, so don’t worry if your favourite applet isn’t covered - let me know in the comments and I can cover it in a future video.

There are dozens of applets available for Hemispheres which is more than I can cover in one video. I’ve broken this tutorial into multiple parts; stay tuned for Part 2 which dives deeper into the Darkest Timeline app in Hemispheres.
