Hey, man! First, thank for the videos! Second, you should add the link to the first video in the description. For example, I stumbled upon this one first.
I didn't know this mixer from Bogaudio! I was used to that huge MixMasterJr mixer, but I'll switch to a simpler one! Any tips on how I could map those mute buttons to midi? On mixMaster I use Meld from MindMeld and "gate to Trigger converter" from Count Modular
Thank you for the question! You can map to MIDI super easy using MIDI-CAT by Stoermelder. You pull the module up, click the window and find your device, then click on the first slot that says "unmapped" to assign the parameter. Click on the mute button you want first, then press the control on your MIDI device. I just tested it with my Xbox 360 controller and it worked perfectly.
The built in bitwig sampler has a "wavetable" mode that turns sample into a wavetable in similar fashion. You can also get good results using clouds with synchronous grains, although beads is even better.
Nice vid as always, dude. And again, congrats on the 2k! 🎉 The modules I would add, that is beginner friendly, would be Glue by Stoermelder (a nifty Label Maker), uMap by Stoermelder (for when you want to modulate a parameter that does not have a CV input), and Null by Pachde (resizable and recolourable blank module).
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!!
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 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HiHmtv6oIM.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
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.
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.
