Build a patch With Marbles
The brilliant pianist Nahre Sol just released a video on "how to sound like Steve Reich".
ruclips.net/video/PsKP_dpNlxg/видео.html
I've been a fan of Reich, Glass, and other minimalist composers for years. The interplay between counterpoint lines in Reich's music made me think that two Marbles modules would be perfect to generate that type of music. So I start from scratch, and build out a complete patch using 2 Marbles to produce rhythmic interplay between 2 voices. When you then add in the Bernoulli gate aspect of Marbles and bring in additional voices, all of which are modifiable via the spread, bias, and Deja Vu knobs, you have an amazing machine and an amazing patch.
Enjoy...

Marbles, A.K.A. The Random Sampler
Просмотров 10 тыс.5 лет назад
The Audible Instrument's "Random Sampler" is a port of the Mutable Instruments "Marbles". This is an amazing module which you can think of as being 3 Turing Machines. But that's really just scratching the surface of what it can do. You can lock in patterns on the trigger side and/or voltage side independently. You can make drum patterns, you can create new melodies, you can modify the scales in...

Erica Synths Pico Drums

I really like this module. Two drum sounds simultaneously from a library of 64. CV control of patch selection, pitch, volume and decay. There's a lot of possibilities here. I hope you enjoy it!
Erica Synths : Octosource Octo-LFO
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.5 лет назад
The Erica Synths Octosource is an LFO with 8 phase shifted wave sources, but it's so much more. You can choose the wave forms, you can modify the phase shift, it's just a tone of fun. You know I like cool LFOs and this may be my new favorite.
Season2, Ep 9 : The Cloud Generator module
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.5 лет назад
The Cloud generator is a single module with up to 8 oscillators which can be place slightly out of tune to each other for an amazing chorus type of effect. But there's more. You can also adjust the spread of the voices to create some really interesting chord like harmonies.
Season2 Ep8 : VCV Rack Version 1.0 is here!

Version 1.0 is here! And the wait was worth it. We now have polyphonic modules, really useful MIDI continuous controller mapping, and some great quality of life upgrades. In this video we take you from installation through all the new features with sample patches as well. Stay Curious.
Season 2 Episode7 : Comparators

The simple comparator module may become one of your new favorite tools. It seems simple: compare an input to a threshold and send a gate for as long as the signal is higher. But there's so much more.

    Thanks for the great video, amazing! A few questions please as i would like to recreate this patch. what are the modules off screen , why can't i find the clock module in the video anywhere or the white version of portland weather for that matter? I have found blue version which i am hoping will function the same, i am new to vcv and would really appreciate it, thanks

    • @modularcuriosity
      @modularcuriosity 10 месяцев назад

      This video was from so long ago that some of the modules are no longer available. But any clock should work. Even an LFO with a square wave will work as a clock. I like Simple Clock from JW Modules for a basic clock. Frozen Wasteland did an update of the Portland Weather with a black background and lots of memory management cleanup. So if you use the new one you probably won't have the crashes I had in the video. That's why you don't see the white version. Some of the features may have subtly changed but it should be pretty close. Have Fun!

    This may help people. I have ver 2.4.1 free and it took way too much Googling to find how to get sound to the output device. So here are the steps. When you first start VCVRack, on the top line of the racks look to the left for the MIDI + CV rack. Immediately under that is a black rectangle labeled MIDI driver in orange lettering. Click that and select Computer Keyboard. Click the next black rectangle under that, which is probably labelled MIDI device. Select QWERTY keyboard so the QWERTY and ZXCVB keys will make sounds. On the third black rectangle down, make sure it says All channels. Now if you hit the QWERTY keys on your keyboard, you should see some activity in the scope on the top right rack, but may not hear anything yet. Next, look to the the top right rack, labelled AUDIO. Immediately under that label is a black rectangle that likely says "No Device". Click that. That gives you an options menu to connect with Windows output devices. For me, what worked is WSAPI, my sound device Yours might be speakers/headphones, for example), 48 kHz., 256 block size. Now I could play stuff using the keyboard. Going back to the MIDI + CV rack, there are also options to set in each of the three rectangles for using a MIDI keyboard, if you prefer that.

    Thanks for this. Now with VCV 2, the modules are a bit different. I'm a total newbie and still trying to figure out how to create a simple patch with midi keyboard input from scratch. I got it so that the keyboard works but there is constant sound, it starts before I play a key and continues after I rele4ase the key. Trying to find a tutorial that instructs how to properly set this up.

    There’s another way to do this, possibly easier, using VCV Bridge. Omri Cohen has a vid that describes it, and how to get a copy of vcv bridge. In Reaper, you have Bridge on one track, and you use Port 2 or beyond. Port 1 is weird. On a second track, you record the MIDI, and send it to the vcv bridge track via the routing controls. It works very well. I also use ReaControlMIDI to map parameters. Same deal, send MIDI to bridge track.
