Wow guys! I cant believe how much interaction this video got.. I would really like to update this video with better audio and video, and revise this concept again, with all the lew techniques and variations ive been learning
as someone who is rlllly new to modular synths and is only rly able to use programs to do it, this was rly helpful to understand why it does what it does
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo qui ouvre des perspectives infinies ! J'adore également plaits, mais plutôt maintenant dans sa version "palette" qui me semble plus "ergonomique" que l'original.
this is exactly . exactlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy what I was looking for. im new to modular synthesis im gravitating towards it because of the unlimited amounts of inspiration that can come from these sequences. because of you I can now continue my journey and execute the way I want to. thank you.
Thank you very much...ı've been into Vcv rack on and off for sometime but this is the first video that actually hallowed me to experiment and understand how the whole patch functions...good job...subscribed...😀👍
Excellent teacher and tutorial. Basic simplicity with plenty of room to branch out into generative insanity. Loved it. Thank you very much. ✨ 🌟 🌞 🙌🏼 💛 🕊 🕉 🙏🏽
Excellent video! I’ve been using the sequencer > VCA > quantizer routing you talked about here a LOT and it’s made everything so much more interesting.
This is well explained and interesting! One thing I hate about VCV and I can speak for many here is that you find a patch, load it up an then it reports 'modules not found'.So then you try to work out what to find or download. Why it doesn't just load them all or ask you ' do you wish to download these modules?'. Of course some are paid for and you can't download them....but as a beginner it is really offputting to see that message.Many a time I have just given up at that point. Also with VCV you go to load something and it says 'VCV is already running'! That is so annoying! So you can't just go through patches easily. I don't understand the logic in it. Having said that, VCV is truly amazing....your video was interesting in that you approached it from a musical point of view. It's also simple. So many patches make your head hurt on youtube! You explained it very well...and sharing the knowledge is a good thing to do. Thank you.
Forgive me for my ignorance but given that you have a sequencer that plays a "range of octaves" and you modulated that range wouldn't that be the same thing that's going on with the VCA here? For example in Ableton there's various sequencers you can use that will play notes in an octave range like C1-C4, so the VCA is doing the same thing right? The voltage is the initial range then the limiter within the initial range allows you to go from let's say C1-C4 to C1-C2? So in Ableton if I just automated that range it'd be the same thing?
No, not exactly because that would only create variations that have an octave interval. The Vca is forcing intervals and voicings that contain any/all notes that are in the quantiser.. Its a huge difference in the outcome.
Awesome video, very informative and expertly explained. One request, I'm using miRack on an ipad which is very similar but not quite the same. In future videos, maybe a very brief description on why you love the modules you choose. Sometimes I have to grab those closest approximation to what you're using and it would help when 5 of em look real close. Thanks either way.
The plaits oscilator is great because it has 18 unique sounds that can be tweaked extensively. The plateau reverb is a community favourite and very lush. The sequencer Ryan uses here actually isn't his (or my) top pick. The best sequencer out there is koralfx scorovnik. The reason is that it shows exactly what notes each step is playing so a quantizer isn't needed. For the utility modules (quantizers, clocks, mixers, vca etc) just use whatever works for you. The digital sequencer he uses is also great, and he does explain why: it acts as an LFO but you can draw in your own custom shape.
I discovered VCV rack and I thought it would be good to make some generative drones/ambience and then add drums and other instruments in Ableton but all I was getting was lost and frustrated until I found this tutorial Thank you where can I find some more? in fact lots more ???
I like this tutorial, it caters well to both beginner and more advanced vcv rack players. Maybe a noob question, but where are you getting that bass sound at the beginning from? I only see one oscillator plugged to the mix. You are using a midi bass, but it's not wired to vcv, right?
Sorry for the late reply i have the bass coming from an external synth(Minilogue XD) - If youre not hearing the Macro oscillator with tose settings its prbably just a sub oscillaor - do you have sound if you increase harmonics /timbre ?
I just get one tone from the clocker and nothing, i try to pass it through everything and I just get an annoying pulse of one note, this is so frustrating
