Wind Controller and VCV Rack – Auto-Ensemble Play-along Patch!
An updated version of the Auto-Ensemble patch, now with sticky notes that label what everything does! All modules are free, and are what you hear in the recording.
Summary of how the patch works:
Map a wind controller's breath control (or whatever continuous control input you want to control the LPF) to the labeled VCA. This will control voice 1 (make sure the v/oct input is also patched to voice 1's oscillator).
Voice 1's output is put through an envelope follower, which is then piped around the patch to "steer the ship". The main thing it does is modulate the frequency of an LFO that outputs gates (labeled "gates"). These gates trigger voices 2 and 3 (the bass voice). The follower output...

Jamming with the Roland AE-01 and VCV Rack
Просмотров 45510 месяцев назад
Here I've put together a patch in VCV Rack that tracks the volume of a synth voice played by the Roland AE-01. The signal that results from that tracking (via an envelope follower) steers the rest of the patch's elements. As I play louder, the accompanying voices get denser and higher in pitch. The result is an overall control of a "band in a box", just from one source of input! There's no post...
Custom Minecraft Caving Music With My Generative Modular Synth
Просмотров 319Год назад
I was messing around with my modular, and made a little evolving generative patch. While listening to it, I decided to pull up the game I've abandoned for quite a bit of time (Minecraft) - It was a v i b e. So I recorded an hour of it! The patch is relatively simple. It's a bunch of smooth, slow, and sometimes attenuated and/or mult-ed random signals that modulate parameters on the MI Braids, I...
Seeing the Sky // Flute and Modular
Просмотров 2582 года назад
It's been a little while! This was an improvised Jam with the Flue & modular system. This time, I came up with a patch that at its core utilised a CV mixer with a number of repeating patterns, gated 1V signals for random octave jumps, and random voltages attenuated to be within 0-2V, going in to an ADDAC Quad Quantizer to drive its melodic content. The Generate 3 grants plucks and percussive no...
Synthetic Slumber // An Ambient Modular Journey in 64hp
Просмотров 4383 года назад
This one's a little generative patch that I let run for about 20 minutes, tweaking parameters here and there to alter the colour of the patch. The goal here was to squeeze out as much timbral variation as I could (in a hopefully tasteful manner) from a 64hp system. Patch Notes: CLOCKING: A sampled burst of gates (100bpm, set to cycle in the Squid Salmple) from pam's is randomly modulated by one...
Smol Happy Song // Hybrid Modular Mini-System
Просмотров 873 года назад
Trying something out with the mini-system! The main melodic line is the generate 3 going through the fold 6, and the drums are coming from the Squid Salmple. Bass and chords were added in Logic Pro X, as well as the reverb. Recorded myself playing around with the melodic line and drums, then chopped it up in post (hence, no video this time!)
Modular Ambience #6 // "Rain" // one sequence, one oscillator, lots of FX!
Просмотров 3903 года назад
This is one of those start-from-a-simple-idea-and-build-on-it-type patches where bits and pieces gradually get introduced till we get a huge-ish swirling mass of texture (give it a little time, is what I'm saying!) It's been a little while since I've uploaded anything, due to a combination of the new semester starting (uni is pain, guys) and general modular burnout.. But messing around with the...

Apartment Music #4 // The Manis Iteritas is DIRTY
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 года назад
If you like what you see, and would like to see more, do consider subscribing! This one has the Manis as its main star - its the only tonal (though it doesn't stop there..) thing you'll hear in this patch. Its various parameters are modulated by the Mimetic Digitalis, attenuated by some VCA's. At the tail end of its chain, its being processed by the Qu-Bit Prism for some occasional decimation a...
Preparing For Liftoff // Eurorack Modular Improvisation with Keystep Pro
Просмотров 9083 года назад
If you like what you see, and would like to see more, do consider subscribing! This one's a Jam centred around using Keystep Pro as my main sequencer. I wanted to do a more tonal, melodic jam (as opposed to the more.. "Dronal" techno I've been producing lately)! So, naturally, everything you hear is sequenced by the Keystep Pro (with a bit of modulation coming from marbles and the Mimetic Digit...

I love the patch, but I love your playing even more. Please keep doing stuff like this!
nice sounds! I found this video looking for interactions between volca moular and eurorack, it seems not many people have done it before...
Great!!! Super inspiring. Thanks
Thank you! 😁😁
Awesome 👌
Thank you! Cheers 😁
Beautiful performance and thank you for sharing the patch, I am very much going to enjoy studying what you did here!
Thank you! If you've got any questions, go ahead :)
Beautiful. Now I'm going to have to dig out my wind controller. :D
Go for it! The patch is free and available for download if you like 😁
Really nice how you set VCV Rack to react to your playing... Excellent. Thank you for making your patch available. I've been thinking about doing something similar with my guitar.
Thanks! Would be cool to do this with other instruments for sure 👍
Great use of VCV as an automated accompaniment. Can't really see what's going on although obviously some Marbles doing it's random(ish) thing. Well done!
Thanks! Feel free to download the project file linked in the description for a clearer picture of how the patch operates :) Here I'm only using marbles to randomly pan the accompanying voice haha
Sounds awesome! Could you provide a list of links where to get the different modules? Seems to ab quite a lot, also if not all of them are free ... ;) 🙏
Hey! Here's a link to an updated version of the patch on Patchstorage. This time, I've kept all the modules free! patchstorage.com/updated-wind-controller-auto-ensemble-patch/
Thanks, that's some pretty music and some skilled patch programming. Any plans to make the patch available?
Thanks! Didn’t know I could do that, though I guess it’s obvious when you think about it.. that’s a great idea, maybe I’ll put up a google drive link or something like that. Though I’ll have to make a version that only uses free modules, so it’ll take a little while!
how you can make chords with rings? 😯
Beautiful sounds!!
Love this!!
Thank you :)
Great jam with Manis. Nice one.
Thanks for listening!
Beautiful sequence. Love how you use the Generate 3
Thanks a lot!
Back agian! So nice~
Thanks! :))
love seeing acoustic instruments integrated in this way. Fantastic
Awesome.
Very nice. It’s really great to see this kind of integration.
Magnifique
Nice
Great idea on the Salmple re sampling - going to have to give that a go
Thanks for the patch breakdown. A deceptively simple patch that has a lot of good ideas in it! Just got a Generate 3 and this is a great demo of it. Like the idea of taking all 4 outputs into VCAs and then opening them on odd beats using a VCA2
This jam was fantastic. I was just thinking of a BIA and beatstep 'only' kinda thing, like this, cheers, number 421!!!!!! ;)
niiice
good save on the nts-1
Really nice stuff here. Or how to make interesting and clever but yet not over-complicated patching serve a beautiful musical purpose. Really enjoyed it as well as the patch walk through, thanks for sharing this content :)
Really enjoyed your patch breakdown and the patch. Thanks for sharing!
I like your rack with low sound sources and filter amount but lots of "supporting" modules to savour the modular workflow - my rack is like the inverse and I‘m still thinking about getting a second Generate 6 to explore more on the experimental side..
Go for it! More modulation is always fun :)
Great tutorial! In the beginning the overview over the modules used was too quick/ mumbled to understand, but then you followed up with great audio chain details! Keep them coming :-)
Oops, I do have to work on speaking clearly when thinking about stuff! Thanks for the feedback :)
superbe
Very nice, I love it.
Really cool! Simple patch that sounds really big!
Sweet!😻
Smart patching, great sound!
I know it's not the focus of the video, but this might the best use of Rings I've heard in a long time
Totally makes sense. Thanks for breaking that down. Interesting oscillator.
Most excellent candy for the ears. Thank you.
What case is that?
It’s a little 4MS Pod 64!
Nice textures and sounds. Good work! 👍
beautiful and surreal. i could have listened for much longer
i still do not understand how you manage to play a "double sequence" at the same time
Wich mixer is???
Nice sounds, and cosy mood! :)
Really nice! subscribed
Thanks for the heads up on this walkthrough. Some very interesting concepts, especially the resampling! Always nice to se inside someone else’s workflow and ideas, nice one.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice! ~doctorvague
Nice. Reminds me of bocanada by Cerati, the Argentinian musician /composer.
