Thank you @collinstump9706! I've been having a lot of fun making videos. I made a spreadsheet similar to the one you mentioned in another comment and I've been using it a lot lol. Thanks for that suggestion! I showed it in The Beauty of Mathematics video and gave you a shout-out ✌️😁 if you haven't seen it yet. Thanks again!!
If you start mixing and matching with midi gear, that 24ppqn setting is what you're going to need. The higher resolution clocks give you some extra hits and pattern complexity per bar in the included rhythm maps. 4ppqn gets you the basic patterns, turning up clock resolution gets more details.
CatFish always coming in clutch with the advanced techniques! 😁 I wish I had more midi gear. I'll have to pick some up and try this out. This is a good excuse haha.
@@yourpalrob I stumble bubbled into the discovery, while attempting to clock the sequencer with an external midi clock signal. Kept having to crank the resolution to not have the sequencers way out of time. And upon further experimentation, I learned about the extras hidden between the 4ppqn drum hits inside the 8 and 24 ppqn resolutions. Mostly rapid fills on the snare and hihat channels.
been using topograph for a while and i always thought that the exterior clocking function was bugged, turns out i was not using the correct resolution (had no idea such thing even existed), thanks for the great tip
Glad this video helped! Check out what CatFish said in the comments about this too. I don't have much MIDI equipment but the fills with 24ppqn sounds interesting. I have to check it out.
Hello there and friendly greetings! First of all: thank you for sharing your material for free. It's crazy and absolutely appreciable and praiseworthy! I want to share something, not much but maybe it could be useful for you or someone else, don't know. I've read your VCV Rack Cheat Sheet (finally someone made it...) and I was really interested in the cable management. I've been quite an anarchist about cable color code but I've managed to use SUBMARINE WM-101 that allows to use a virtually infinite number of colors. But I don't use an infinite number of colors: if, for istance, RED is the color code for audio information, I use different shades of RED to differentiate the audio from different modules or different module block. Also, if GREEN is for modulation, I use shades of green to differentiate regular modulation (like a regular LFO) from random modulation (like WIQUID modules). Ditto for the BLUE, regular clock/trigger/gates and shades of blue for random stuffs. And so on and so forth. This way I know at glance what do what, where and how. Yep, it's a little bit crazy at first but as per my experience it works like a charm once you get the hang of it. Also, if you use SUBMARINE WM-101 you can do a nice thing : ruclips.net/video/_HiHmtv6oIM/видео.html (please keep in mind it was the very first time I was recording my voice, I was almost literally dying of cringe....) I hope I returned a little something of knowledge. Have a great week and thanks again!
Hey The Great Assyr! Thank you for the comment and for explaining your cable color coding technique. I like it a lot! I might start using it 😁. Your video is great. I never thought about removing the cables and then hitting Ctrl+z to automatically replace them in a new color. So slick. It would be super fast to shift+click the cable to delete it and then Ctrl+z. Thanks again for the information and for the kind words ✌️😊 and I'm glad you like the content so far. I'm working on an update to the VCV Rach Cheat Sheet which should be posted soon. I'm excited about it!
also, quick question, are there any differences in cpu consumption between the normal and mini that you know? ot is it purely aesthetic? my laptop would like to know lol
Great question! I pulled it up right now and it looks like the micro runs hotter, but it is super minimal. I would say there is a negligible difference. I do like how the little one looks. I prefer small modules. 😁 Thanks again, @robilotte11
I added some more patches to the collection including ones from this video! 61 total patches now.
Sweet, definitely need a copy of that fart patch 😁
Lol! It's a complicated setup with many advanced techniques. 😁
@@yourpalrob I hope my machine can run it!
😂
My pal, you are an amazing individual and your videos have been such a valuable resource. Thank you~
No problem, @The_Sock_! I'm glad you enjoy the content and find it useful 😁
Another great video, Rob. 😍
🫰
Your videos have always been great, but they are continually getting even better! Lol'd out the fart sample.
Thanks Rob!

@CatFish107 What midi controller do you have?

Makes me wonder what would happen with 3 different fart samples being triggered Topograph. Could be a new genre called Fartcore.
Haha! Let's become the pioneers of this new genre. If not us, then who?
