My dad accidentally butt-recorded a tiny snippet of a song (like less than a second) that I pitch-shifted and turned into a pretty sick bass loop (imo) :)
Another nice trick 1) import a nice 4 on the floor or similar beat 2) trim the PEAK to get on the correct HOT spots 3) connect the peak trig to AR envelope and to a Sequencer 4) drive a bass and filter it and dynamic with PEAK CV out and you have a walking bass all along the sample
I have quite a busy day ahead of me - annoying, because Omri has yet again completely inspired me to get really deep into yet another module. Surely this is one of the best modules in VCV? Amazing.
Hey, that's great! It's such a powerful module I could do a 5 hours video about it and only scratch the surface so experimentation is needed :) Cheers!
in version 1.0.17 I have debugged the envFollower (now no more BIZARRE oscillation at the start) (with smoothing is perfect) and added a RAMP representing the position of the playhead both outputs can be used to have important effects applied in sync with samples
Grazie mille for the SHOW! my preferred way to use simpliciter is using the internal modulation with a SQUARE wave, and playing with speed around 0.0 or something 0.05 and playing with UNI mode and inverted mode
OK. Looking for years now for granular sampler who samples on the fly in sync and didn´t click with MI, Bastl and so on. Now I see this and made one for myself in half an hour around the Simpliciter. Cheeeeesus, thank you man!
My brain explodes during every one of your videos with the sonic possibilities 🤯 I was wanting to learn how to do real-time recording, slicing and mangling. Yay glitch!
What the hell. Can’t believe I’ve slept on this module! So deep. Thanks Omri! Oh and do you have a day job? I can’t fathom how you are able to learn so much about all the modules, post amazing content, AND create your music! Maybe you don’t sleep?
Thanks Omri this was great, my favorite has been wine glasses and singing bowls, but I use the iPad version through MiRack. I like to record with Samplr then save to the Files app and bring in from there. Using the mixer is nice to split signals and record the out into another Simpliciter then out again to the mixer, tons of possibilities, thanks again...
I view This Tutorial for 2nd time an Yes Simpliciter is a great sampler player and amazing. I use it with my flute (shaku hachi) samples... much fun... and want to use this for future ambient track. Thanks...
Thanks Omri - great tutorial; I really enjoy and am learning a lot from your lessons. I'd first watched this over a year ago, and when I tried to get the Click Out sound from the expander module, it wasn't working for me. I figured it was a bug that would get fixed eventually. I just watched the tutorial again today with a recently updated version of VCV Rack 2, and it still isn't working for me today. I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious, or perhaps this functionality went away?? You were so excited by this functionality in the video; I wanted to share your joy. :)
Hi guys, Hi Omri! When I connect the "Click" out to my outs or mixer or anything nothing happens, regardless of which buttons I press on the expander. Do I have to toggle that on or something?
Wow. Never really looked into this module. You could create like the world's most flexible 4 track recorder with these, building up loops and sound on sound on three seperate channels and then bouncing them to the fourth or something.
Fantastic as always, Omri. I was a little confused during the CV output section to see the CV go to zero (like at 22:26) even though the sample was playing - there was amplitude! Have I missed something there? Thanks!
Thanks for your work! Using your videos as a reference for miRack on iPad. Very, very useful! One thing for Simplicite I'd like to clarify though. How do you quantize recording to the BPM with record trigger input?
Thanks! Well, you can use S&H, for example, and use the clock as the trigger and a gate as the input so only with the clock there will be a change in voltage.
I know this is a old tutorial, but thanks for explain this module 👍 Wonder why the keyboard shortcuts (Alt, Ctrl) you show at the beginning don't work for me. Anyone with same problem?
@@OmriCohen-Music Yeah man, hope you're doing well. Yes, I found out too, ctrl+alt for selection and just ctrl for slice in or out. I am checking your examples to get the most of this sampler, its great! The only thing, because it does not have a clock input, I find hard to play the slices in sync with the rest, especially using instrument samples. Most of my samples collection are already in a specific BPM and in perfect loop, but after cut in slices, they don't play in sync, lets say with a beat sequence. Do you know any solution to work this out?
I tried using the CV output the way you show in the video, and I found out that it's now something called "Ramp", and it works completely differently! Ah, well, VERY cool tool and another brilliant video, Omri! I'll see if I can figure out another way to use my voice to shape an envelope...
Great video, once again Omri! Anyone know how I might be able to save the sample from the Right Click Menu? I know the option is there but I can't access it on my laptop as it drops below the bottom of my screen.
Nobody noticed that, around 9:30, the sample is played backward, and when Omri activate "Do Espen stor...", the sample is read forward, when varispeed knob is set to backward? :p (little bug?) (Then if you move the varispeed knob, it's fixed, I tested) Anyway, a free Morphagene, it's amazingly cool :) Thanks a lot Omri, you're doing a kind of documentation/manuel (which doesn't exist ^^).
Thanks for this. The Morphagene would have nagged me to go modular for ever; now I don’t have to! Edit: the miRack version does not appear to have the ability to import samples directly via the ‘double-tap’ menu. There is a workaround of sorts- load the Nsythi Quadsimpler, to which you CAN import files, and record from there- but it’s clumsy. Am I missing something obvious?
@@OmriCohen-Music That is interesting, you are not curious about miRack or you don't have an iPad? See above: "record with Samplr then save to the Files app and bring in from there."
are you sure ? did you press on the white area to get the correct menu for import ? I'm 100% sure I tested it, I would have never released a module without import that is the MAIN character of this module !
@@AntonioTuzzi Ah- I’m an idiot. I had been tapping on the sample area only, as you do in (say) Quadsimpler. In my defence, tapping outside the sample area is a little counter-intuitive... Thank you!
Hello, how can I synch the record function with the daw? I tryied "strat from the midi to cv modul" but it don't "stop" - I remember some tricks with flip flop but can't achieve it at this moment…
Hi! Yeah, I showed it once but I don't remember in which video... Basically, you can use the Trigger Buffer from ML. One input will be the clock from the DAW, and the other your trigger.
hey Omri , thank for the tutorial, it comming in the perfecto moment to me, I m looking for a sample to shot textures in the minute 3:48 should you connect the gate to the gate cv instead of the start?
Well, oscillator sync means that one oscillator will be synced, will be locked to the frequency of another oscillator. In this case, you can sync the internal LFO to the frequency of an external one.
Omri, do you know if it's possible to quantize the record trigs with a host's clock so we can punch in and out recordings in time with the tempo / bpm and have the simpliciter to record to the clock??? Cheers
Hi! Yes, you can use the trigger buffer from ML. Use the clock for the input, and the trigger to arm it. This will quantize the triggers to the clock :)
Hey Omri, I've been trying (and failing) to use the Simpliciter to recreate the glitchy repetitions found in Neat Beats - Graffiti on a Monday Night ruclips.net/video/BmCd3kVagZs/видео.html From 4:05 onwards. I tried loading the full sample and going with specific slices and also on-the-spot recording of a second sampler with short (50-150ms) gates. But mostly I'm getting lots of clicking noises, even with the anti-click cranked all the way up, and little usable effect. Do you have any idea how one could reproduce this?
@@OmriCohen-Music Sequencing seperate splices in Musical Box sounds like a good idea thanks. I'll set it to gated mode and prepare the splices in advance with Simpliciter. Maybe the Espen trick option will also work in that use case. This is the trigger setup I used for getting splices from an active sample by the way, in case you want to try it: abload.de/img/simpliciterzojz7.png Top delay sets the length of the splice, bottom delay sets the length it's being looped before resuming the main sample.
I don't think thats a poor man's morphagene, its much cooler and also easier to operate. Damn it can record and mangle CV, i just wonder why i spent thousands on complex LFO modules.
is there anyway to play the slices you cut out in the order you want them? like say you make 5slices nd you want to play slice 2,4,3,5 in that order, can you do that?
@@OmriCohen-Music isnt that what you did with the eoc to random? i was talking about ordering the slices to play in the exact order i want them to play
@@afrosymphony8207 yeah, you can set a sequencer to do this for you. For example, step 1 will be slice 4, step 2 slice 3, step 3 slice 1, and so on. As I said, the ADDR is great for that.
What's the craziest sample you used and the result totally surprised you? Mine was my son's baby monitors...
Nerdy by Poison the Well tuned down like 7 semitones
Mine was a Bottle that falling on the ground. (And get destroyed of curse).
@@marioschammer9773 Perfect for crashes :)
I use my shauhachi to record. Sounds great if it doesn't crash VCV.
