    Most of the patches in this video I build live from scratch, and I would love to hear your opinion about what do you think is better, to build the example patches from scratch, or to explain about an already built patch (using arrows and such). There is also a downside, of course, it means that the videos will be somehow longer. Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts :) Cheers!

      Bro I was gonna ask if you somehow process your audio when putting the video together^
      Cause it seems like your patches just sound better than mine haha
      In terms of individual sounds etc :)
      Thanks for all your videos by the way

      building from scratch makes it easier to mentally chart a signal flow in more complex patches, to me at least. i've been wearing this module out since it was released but i knew i was only using some of the features, thanks for the video!

    • @OmriCohen-Music
      @OmriCohen-Music  6 лет назад

      Thanks, man! Well, the only real process is on the voiceover like noise reduction, compression, eq and so on. I don't do anything for the VCV Rack sound though, it's all Rack :) Cheers!

      That's excellent! Thank you so much for the feedback and the kind words :) I also think it's easier to watch a patch being built, but I'm afraid to bore people, so I'm happy you find it better :)

      The part of taking to the scope first, then explaining why. I’m not even done and I’m commenting, I can’t wait to get out of bed and do my own patches..see I had a six inch tumor removed from stomach and I’m alive. Physically and I’m very emotional from this music and art. More to come...24:44 THIS IS VERY NICE, understated as usual. Who knew you could make stages a triple lfo sequencer unto itself...?? I may need to add a hardware version to my rack !

    i enjoy the from scratch videos, i like to hear your thought process and to hear your reaction to what the rack is doing as you build it. I think it gives me a much better idea for what to do differently to get the result i want or just to explore. I always start my own patch from scratch based on what you've shown, rather than downloading your patch and tweaking it. Thanks so much for making these videos, they really help.

      You have no idea! Also my wife finds your accent quite soothing, we needed this silky tutorial in my life right now, and yes Im, up slaving to the craft on surgery medicine doing what I can when I can, this is my first go at patching these modules. Thank you for the samples, www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/657811 is my actual rack I am listening via bridge to Live suite 9.7.7 *I havent made the jump to 10yet as I bought Logic 10.4.2 first (oops now im on windows again) and an ES-8 I get a little lag, I would love you to put your hardware specs for your machine you make these patches on? Do you freeze or have a lot of ram? I have 16gb doesn't seem to do it (Lenovo Yoga 920 w10pro )

I have just 6gb ram and this is my processor - i5-2410M CPU @ 2.3GHz... I'm planning on getting a new one soon, we'll see. I can build relatively "big" patches because I set the block size in vcv all the way up. I have a lot of latency, but that's the only way I can use it... And I'm glad you find my accent soothing :) I should get a new mic also sometime, so I can get even better results recording my voice. Cheers man, and again, all the best!

    I very glad you're coming back to Audible instruments to cover these later additions. When I first tried using this module I could tell it was powerful by how little I understood how to use it. I felt like an elephant trying to learn piano. I love the from scratch videos, but I suspect that's moreso because I've only a novice level of understanding. So some of the more repetitive elements to someone with a more experienced understanding of modular might be tired of seeing a technique or process I've only done a handful of times.

    • @OmriCohen-Music
      @OmriCohen-Music  6 лет назад

      Hi Cory! I'm glad you liked it, and I have a feeling that this is not the last Audible Instruments video I'm going to do :) And I really appreciate the feedback, I also think that maybe, for advanced users, most of the patching will be boring, so I hope to get also feedback from someone more experienced, hearing what he\she thinks. Thanks again and cheers!

      Thanks so much! I'm happy I could help :) For me, it's easier to understand something with a video, and that's why I'm making videos, hopefully, to help other people. And there are a few differences between the hardware and the vcv version, so I thought it would be interesting to make a video about it. And also, in vcv, I can build whole patches while explaining, unlike with hardware that the patches are usually rather small.

    when it became clear stages was coming to vcv rack i dived into manuals and youtubes about the rl module so i'd be ready once this module was released so i knew big part of what it does. when the waiting was over i was very happy.. and then cherry on top a bulky omri youtube \o/ have to say, still learned some from you. thank you for that. your tutorial is so indepth i know i'll be watching it in the future as a reference, refresher or simply as inspiration on a rainy day.
    as far as building patches from scratch i'd say please do. i do see how prebuild examples can make your youtubes more compact but in the process of patching you explain so many 'little' things that make a big difference. often small stuff that arent even related much to the topic you're explaining. maybe a silly example but you explain what the coloured shape/time time/level dots indicate. it makes so much sense and its so easy to miss, while so helpful to know.
    we all have our ways of creating a patch.. little 'tricks' and to-go-to's, so for me its cool to see how others, and you, do that. for me personally that's what makes your examples nice to watch.
    it's awesome you're still trying to make your content better even with it being already very good. so all the love and good.. and happy patching :D

      Hi Emma! I'm really glad you found this video interesting :) It's such a deep module, and there are so many more things you can do with it, it's unbelievable! VCV Rack is so cool!
      And I really appreciate your feedback. I guess it's true when patching from scratch one can notice also other things, like you said, things that don't always have something to do with the subject of the video, but can still be interesting for some. And again, it means also longer videos, but actually, with some practice, it can get really interesting and not too long.
      At the end of the day, as much as I enjoy making these videos, and oh boy, I do enjoy it, I want also other people to enjoy them, so it's good to get some feedback :)
      Thanks again, Emma! I really appreciate it!

    What is the purpose of mults in VCV? In physical rack they are necessary, but in VCV rack they do nothing. In VCV all you have to do is pull another signal out cable out of the same output.

    • @OmriCohen-Music
      @OmriCohen-Music  6 лет назад +3

      You're totally right, but there are actually 2 reasons why I (usually) use splitters. First of all, it's easier for me visually to see where each cable is going, especially in bigger patches, and I don't have to spend too much time following cables, which is actually harder in rack because you cannot touch them and follow with your palm. The second reason is, that it's much easier to change the connections and disconnect cables. If you have, let's say, 3 cables going out of the same output, and you want to disconnect the first one you've connected, you will have to disconnect the first 2 just to reach it, or again, start following cables and disconnecting from its destination. It does make patching easier, and you can concentrate more on patching rather than following cables all the time. Cheers!

    • @patpat023
      @patpat023 6 лет назад +1

      It's also easier if for some reason you want to change the source module. Instead of repatching 8 resets or clock sources etc (using the 2hp Ohmer 1x8), you can do one cable, and not miss a module, and then spend a long time troubleshooting

      Well, for example, if the voltage coming in lands somewhere between G and A. If it's set to quantize up, the quantizer will 'correct' the voltage to A. If it's set to quantize down, it will 'correct' the voltage to G. Does this make sense?

    • @OmriCohen-Music
      @OmriCohen-Music  6 лет назад

      Hi Patrick! Well, I do try to tune my oscillators manually as much as I can, but when making tutorial videos it's much easier for me to use this module. It takes less time (and let's face it, watching me tune an oscillator is probably not the most fun thing...), and I can also change the tuning on the fly. The thing is, when tuning manually, the sound has much more character because of the small detuning, which naturally occurs, but, as I said, for the tutorial videos I prefer to use this module. And by the way, this module has some really nice features, so be sure to give it a try :) Cheers!

      @OmriCohen-Music  6 лет назад

      Oh yes, and also looping envelopes so you can create some weird funky lfo shapes... The nice thing about the hardware version, is that you can chain a few of them and have crazy modulation sources like 12 stages envelopes and such, and you can also play the glide\time knobs live (also with the mouse you can but it's less fun), so you can really add variation to your sequences. Cheers!

    Advice. If you want to be more friendly to beginners. Do less complex patching. I was with you until you went to a multi from the quantizer. Then you added a different pitch via another FM osc, and that was VERY confusing. Unless you're trying to teach more complex methods, then my bad. Merci!
