BoBeats Hi, thanks for reply, I did those steps, and even trashed and reinstalled Rack, then logged in within Rack and refreshed plugins. Same result. Do the plugs need to be dragged to a specific folder (OSX)? I really want to get this working. Also my Rack doesn't display that horizontal line across the middle...
Another user wrote "I deleted Audible Instruments from Rack Plug-ins folder and re-downloaded them, all working now" On OSX I didnt have to move any files. But I don't know if it works 100% with all OS versions. I read somewhere that 10.6 (?!?!) didn't work. Unfortunately I cant help much more since I have zero clue about these things. I have installed on latest Mac OS X and Windows 10 and it works for me. Sad that it doesn't work mate :(
No Knobs is a bug. Occurs on Win 7 and several different Mac configurations. I think the developer is trying to track this down. I had the same problem , Win 7.
You can send a single VCO or mixer output to two sound output channels (0 & 1 for example) to hear the sound on both sides. This can be done by holding down the ctrl key while dragging the 2nd wire. More generally, holding down ctrl can be used to connect one output to multiple inputs.
yeah, that's why you can find some pretty cool alternative firmwares for mutable modules... matthias puech another cool french guy did some cool stuff the "parasites" mods, he works now for 4ms i think
That is so nice and now VCV shares this knowledge for anyone who has a computer, very nice and for free!, Softubes eat your heart out. I'm having so much joy already with this.
Just downloaded VCV Rack to give it a go. Fun stuff, and definitely cheaper than the real Eurorack deal. ;) Very helpful video, thanks for the work you put into it!
Thanks so much! Downloaded the software yesterday after you showed it off, and this tutorial really explained a lot of stuff that many videos usually skip over.
Just discovered this tutorial after downloading VCV. Super helpful! I'm just starting, but you can drag Output 1 to your VCA's Out, then from Output 2 to the same VCA's out. You'll get a mono sound in both ears (two cables to the same Out in the VCA). Otherwise I've also used the top VCA as a "left" channel by connecting it to Output 1 and the bottom one as a "right" by connecting it to Output 2. (yours are labelled 0 and 1). Just trying a few things; this is my first 10 mins with a modular synth!
Thanks Bo, Just downloaded VcV Rack out of curiosity....and then stumbled in this tutorial. Perfect for a complete beginner like me ! Recent subscriber and have LOTS of stuff to catch up on. Keep up the good work. ODNT.
Great video Bo! If you right-click on the cable, the cable will disappear. If you want to change the color of a cable, then you need to right-click on that cable to make it disappear, and then redo it until you like the color of that cable.
Great tutorial! I have been curious about learning how Eurorack synths work after a buddy turned me onto them and this is a great free way to learn without going broke.
I was about to buy PC version of audulus before I saw this video. Darn! This software is exactly what I need. No abstract symbol or "visual programming", only pure modular synthesis. I like this video and vcv very much!
Great video dude! Just starting to learn about modular and this was a big help! For getting the stereo sound, when you cable from your LPF to output 0, just take a cable from output 1 back to the LPF and drop it in on top. Problem solved with no need for the multiplier :)
Thanks for this great tutorial. If you hold down the command key (Mac) you can drag out multiple cables from the same output. Or you can drag from the input to the output. So you don't need a multiplier.
Thanks for the video, it got me finally to make a patch. By the way, you can pull multiple wires out of a single hole with ctrl, that way you don't need to use the splitter.
Awesome tutorial Bo, thank you. Was waiting like forever until got a few free hours to dive into it now. Had to work and i knew i wouldnt if started to go tweaky on this. Realy like the sine wawes, surfing on a rocket haha
You can just pull a second Cable from the out of the last module before your audio device. This only works when you are starting to patch the cable from your second output ( at the audio interface)
If you use Mac, to get a single output to play on both speakers, you join the first output to the audio driver module. Then you go back to the same output, hold down the cmd key on your computer, and then it lets you run a second wire from the same output, and you plug that into the second output on the audio module.
No problem man. I'm just getting started with modular stuff. I discovered it somewhere just before I watched your video. Which was great help by the way for someone just getting started with this software. It's amazing. I don't suppose you know if there is a way to assign knobs on your midi controller to control knobs on the rack? I've been hunting for a way to do it but so far I'm not getting any joy. I'm used to ableton making it easy for us to assign any parameter to any knob. I want to get more hands on with things once I set up a patch
as far as I know you can't assign the knobs to MIDI devices directly (like you can do in Reason or Ableton). But you can use the "MIDI CC to CV Interface". it will at least give you the possibility to "generate" Control Voltages by a MIDI device.
This is a great video .. lots of good take-aways .. I am now going to open myself up to getting this and playing with it .. I think for my use this would be a fantastic arp generator .. Similar to how Vince Clarke used modulars while in Yazoo .. Keep up the fantastic vids!!
Awesome .. I have not seen the FB page yet. I TRULY appreciate the attention you spend on your channel and the wide range of material you cover. There is always a good take-away, at least for me, and the videos are very interesting for me even though I am primarily invested heavy in all Novation products.
would be nice but that is LOTS of coin, I am debating on buying the Circuit Monostation but I have not learned the Circuit fully yet - haha Can you say "ADDICTIVE Personality.. maybe later I will apply for the psychologist side of the BoBeats experience.. to control my new addiction .. hahaha I will bring the Coffee ;)
VCV Rack changes quite a bit over time. Manuals can be found quickly by right clicking or two-finger clicking to get a short-cut menu > Plugin > Manual.
to get stereo sound u need to connect from the VCF on the LPF click command and you can have two connections coming from the LPF into output one and two on the aoudio
Nice! Amazing what can be done with a single monophonic oscillator. You could have gotten true stereo from the Texture Synthesizer. Alternatively, you could use the Haas effect. There are Haas modules by Sonus and Edge, but to fully control the effect, DIY with a delay and multiplexer run through a simple (or not-so-simple) mixer. You could modulate the delay and the balance and all kinds of good stuffs.
Don't need this tutorial but just wanted to say that the vcv rack sounds absolutely awesome! Just waiting for a midi module that can output different pitch control voltages per midi channel for awesome (free) modular polyphony. Doepfer like triple LFO would also be awesome.
It sounds centered because both channels are sounding at the exact same time, at the same distance, so the brain interprets it as centered. You can "break" this by adding a bit of delay to one of the channels before routing to the audio interface.
Plugging the sound in to the first audio input makes it play through left side into second input will make it play through the right side third input will center it but as far as i can tell the rest just affect volume or very slight panning not sure which.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand subscribed! Great tutorial man, now i've things a little clearer, at the end i was doing things wrong. I'm new on this modular things, so for a moment i thought that my audio device wasn't compatible or something like that :p I hope more tutorials of this software, especially of how to record the sounds after having made it..............and thanks!! :]
great video, thanks! i just cant get the asdr module to work right, seems it only responds to the release, attack, decay and sustain doesnt affect anything, hm..
Very nice and clear however I am struggling with bpm and tuning, for tuning I found gStrings on android which works nicely but bpm monitoring seems to be difficult. Also I see trigger and clock inputs that cannot be addressed, it is really like a real rack, issues and issues.
I know this is a little late but I found that if I go from output to device 1 and then from device to back to output it will send sound to both speakers if using an audio interface. Hope it helps
Bo do you have softube modular? I really appreciate this tutorial as it will work with softube modular as well. Although Id like to see how you use the Intelijel module in softube this was great.
u get my sub for this, though i will not dig deep into ther modular system stuff. its eating up too much time. but thx for this basics video. well done!
Can't wait for the vst edition! Everything controllable from within my daw, with modulators from the daw itself. I use bitwig. I will have modulators controlling modulators controlling modulators controlling modulators controlling modulators within the vcv rack xDD
Hi, I'm looking for some answers about samples and resynthesis, like, is it possible to make a synth patch from a sample ? I mean put a sample/loop into the synthesizer and modulate it, because if we are taling about a virtual vst, I guess it can be done by a image board modulation (such Harmor, the only one I know, this close) and if its possible like cover the sound itself as if adding/mixing/blending for example: You have 3 soundwaves and wanna turn them into a big one, not in sequency but in layers or mix a wavesound with another sound from a sample and them make it a new file and put it on the synth as a new patch for further modulation.... Thank you
How can you get high sounds from Low Pass Filter? Can't get the same sounds like you. When I'm using LPF and then turn SEQ pitch knobs higher, can't hear anything and that seems logical to me.
I get no knobs, no inputs or outputs ... what gives?

Thanks for the update Craig.
Super tutor. At 15 minutes in I have already built a £3,500 modular synth.
hahahahhahaha welcome to the darksiiideee
woww... i hope u already married. bcause its really a dark side.
For Stereo/middle output: hold CTRL to drag another cable from a mono source
niiiice!
sad that i didnt save my heavy bass patch because of this reason :D just to figure out how to make it stereo in the next patch *pretty dumb
Or just drag your new cable in the opposite direction!
You can send a single VCO or mixer output to two sound output channels (0 & 1 for example) to hear the sound on both sides. This can be done by holding down the ctrl key while dragging the 2nd wire. More generally, holding down ctrl can be used to connect one output to multiple inputs.
anyone know which key for Mac?
@@kurks001 cmd
Dude, this is awesome! Thank you!
You can also just drag the opposite way without holding down a modifier key -- make a cable from Audio Input 1 to Mix and then Audio Input 2 to Mix.
@@kurks001 press the CMD key
all mutable instruments modules are open sources, so thumbs up to oilivier the man behind mutable that does everything by himself
+THOM AlphaXIII that is super cool! Did not know that

This is the first step I have taken into the world of analogue synths and I am grateful for your clear advise.
nice walkthrough. definitely need to pick this up, if only because of the awesome MI stuff.
+Red Means Recording thanks! Love the bs2 video btw!
Fancy seeing you here! If I see you, I know I'm in the right place!
You guys are both great!

+George Galamb thanks! Good to know! :-)
Niiiiice, just found out about the device and then I see my favorite synth-head having an intro to it online. Great way to start.
Thanks BoBleeps, I had been trying to figure out what I was supposed to use for an LFO.
Great tutorial! I have been curious about learning how Eurorack synths work after a buddy turned me onto them and this is a great free way to learn without going broke.
Just grabbed VCV and this was a big help--thank you!
I was about to buy PC version of audulus before I saw this video. Darn! This software is exactly what I need. No abstract symbol or "visual programming", only pure modular synthesis. I like this video and vcv very much!
Thanks Jazzy! Going to check out Softube next which is similar in style
Thanks that was clear and helpful. I would like to see more like this. I just got VCV today and it’s awesome! My first real excursion into modular
Thanks! Completely new to making music this way so this gives me a basic understanding of how everything works together.

Need a little sip of the coffee XD says it all. This got me up and running making sounds... Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for a good tutorial on what can be a real daunting subject.
+audiomic cheers mate
My wife is going to be so mad at the amount of money this video will directly lead to me spending on modular.
mY WyyyYYYyYfUh
Stereo sound : vca/out to audio in/1 - from audio in/2 to vca/out. thanks for tut. great for start
Great tutorial, definitely a good starting-point. Thanks for doing this, BoBeats!
Definitely going to watch more

Great tutorial Bo! I just got the software and this is very useful! Thx!
cmd+click to place a second cable on top of another, that way you can send the output to both L & R audio channels
greatest tutorial man, explaining and doing it side by side.:D
Hey Bo, very useful video, thanks for that !
I saw in an other video that you could pull two cables from input to put them in 1 and 2 outputs !
Yes! I think you hold alt or something to get a second cable
that was so easy to follow , keep up the good work
If you use Mac, to get a single output to play on both speakers, you join the first output to the audio driver module. Then you go back to the same output, hold down the cmd key on your computer, and then it lets you run a second wire from the same output, and you plug that into the second output on the audio module.

you can connect audo 1-2 directly with for example vcf low freq
Thanks, Bo, this is awesome!
Thanks man, great video.
Thank you, Bo-Dealer of gateway drugs.
To use both channels, use a mixer or cmd click to use multiple cables
this is incredibly useful, thank you so much for making this x
i have just become obsessed.
i went from square wave arp, to a FM synth arp, to a super ambient patch using texture synthesizer and resonator and spring reverb
It sounds centered because both channels are sounding at the exact same time, at the same distance, so the brain interprets it as centered. You can "break" this by adding a bit of delay to one of the channels before routing to the audio interface.
Hello, the mono sound comes out the left speaker because the left channel of your speakers (soundcard) is channel 1 and your right is channel 2
Awesome, thanks!
I use an X32 32IN/32OUT for an Interface and all 8 inputs and 8 Outputs are available and work
Thank you so much
awesome bit of software, thanks for the tutorial!
Plugging the sound in to the first audio input makes it play through left side into second input will make it play through the right side third input will center it but as far as i can tell the rest just affect volume or very slight panning not sure which.
Hope that helps.
Excellent tuto! merci
this is mind blowing, but ill get use to it
Very nice! Thanks-
Thanks for the tutorial! It is very useful!
i randomly put on this video and instantly recognized your voice hahaha, thanks for the tutorial...:))
You welcome!
Thanks Bo, after this tutorial I was able to create some truly amazing farts.
Vcv farts are the best farts

You weren't kidding about cpu usage. Mine was running about 95%.
+Jrod Ohio :-) yeah it stranglea my mbp, but my pc is keeping up
I find the Opposite my PC @99% my mac Pro with Audio module at beginning of module layout @96.4% at the end of the Module layout it drops to 56%
Yep, lol, it's a hog alright! ;)
Thanks it is great synth.
thank god for bo
cool that this is free

I downloaded this so fast
At least as fast as my internet would allow
LOVED IT
Its great to experiment with, yet I notice lots of audio artifacts it also won't recognize my audio interface. I see why its free.
Thanks perfect 🙏❤️🙏
Thanks Bo. I needed this. Having trouble getting all the free modules though. Clicked on all the free ones but don't see the button to download them?
I am not sure what goes wrong for you. Maybe ask on the facebook community for vcv rack? :-)
in vcv rack under library go to update all then they download and you restart the application then they will be there
Can't wait for the vst edition! Everything controllable from within my daw, with modulators from the daw itself. I use bitwig. I will have modulators controlling modulators controlling modulators controlling modulators controlling modulators within the vcv rack xDD

Befaco Mixer is working alright for those who have sound coming out just from one side of speakers
+Gorgull Habublala have to test it more! :-) thanks
Alright! thanks for this. it works, now i hear from 2 speakers
Hi Bo Beats, I have the basic modules in my VCV rack software but none of the cool instruments you are using. How do I get those?
How can you get high sounds from Low Pass Filter? Can't get the same sounds like you. When I'm using LPF and then turn SEQ pitch knobs higher, can't hear anything and that seems logical to me.
