Omri ... you have an incredibly great aura, patience and understanding ... you always look like a perfect teacher! And I have to say that I know English very little, I always write (as now) through the translator, but when I watch your videos, I understand what you say quite clearly! I observe that despite the fact that you are very high in the world of modular, you can prove without problems and selflessly help for beginners ... I had to write this publicly sorry :)
Superb Omri. You're invaluable to everyone new to modular (like me). I love how you don't just throw in modules and continue, but take the time to explain, hook up the scope, to make us actually understand what we're doing! (like with the hats in this video, to show the inverted signal). Keep it coming... "oh yeah" ;-)
Wow wow wow. New to modular and your videos help tremendously! Every few seconds I’m in shock with the possibilities. I want to learn this app well before buying modules. I wish there were more modules that match real hardware. Anyways! Thank you. Your voice is very relaxing.
Hey, thanks so much! The modular environment is so much fun... And you're right about not buying modules before you get to know the different aspects of modular and what you like, more or less. VCV is the perfect platform for this. Let me know if I can help in any way :)
I was just trying to get a glitchy sound like that with the texture synthesizer last night and couldn't figure it out. Thanks for the video, as always it was super useful!
Thank you for the video Omri. The beat is really cool with the delay. I could have used the offset module a few times. I had always recreated this function with more than one module. Good to know that there is also an easier way to shift an inverted signal up 😀
Well, with this method you have less control over the shape of the ducking envelope so sometimes, you will want to use an extra envelope for this I guess.
I also love the idea of this sidechainig technique! I have only one question: am I the only one who has problems with some little clicks when sidechaining the bass with the kick? I think the problem is that the sidechain falls too suddenly. Is there a way I can add some release to the envelope signal of the kick?
@@floatingsketches290 As long as you are triggering an envelope at the same time with your kick and using the inverted output, you can adjust the attack and release (or any) parameters to shape it. If you are using a compressor, give it a bit of attack time. I get clicks sometimes, but in the mix with other instruments, it is inaudible most of the time. If in doubt, you can always add a slew limiter after the envelope, but it seems redundant as you have an ADSR before it. I need to check my old patches on how I did it. :)
That's really awesome! I am following through and trying my own spin on it. Thanks for the fantastic tutorial and explanations. One question, since I'm starting out on VCV and modular for not long, I'm confused when seeing multiple cables being put into a single parameter. I understand this is possible in the VCV software environment, how would this happen in a physical eurorack setup if one wants to do the same?
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) About your question, it's not really possible to send multiple cables into one input in VCV as well. I'm not so sure in which part you've seen something like this, but let me know, and I'll have a look and try to help you out.
@@OmriCohen-Music @Omri Cohen Thanks for ur reply! I think for instance at 5:10, I can see the S&H is connected to the Gate Seq 64's gate (first row), and that gate is also connected to the gate of Trummor's kick Not sure how to depict this with accurate terms but hopefully that will clarify my question^ Thanks so much!
@@chrischeung3298 Oh ok, yeah, that's an output going to multiple inputs and not multiple sources going to one input. So the Gate Seq will send its gate to the S&H and also to Trummor, but that's coming out of the output and going to 2 different inputs. It's not possible to send multiple signals into one input directly. Does this make sense?
@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks a lot - I think that makes sense to me, appreciate the explanation! So in a physical rack, if we want one output going to multiple inputs, we'd have to use a multiple module for that right?
@@chrischeung3298 No worries :) And yes, in hardware, there's a need to use a multiple or a splitter / splitter cable. There are cables that have this built in like the stackables.
Yeah, there's also Stroke from Stormelder for choosing a color with the keyboard but I'm so used to cycling between them... I will have to try it though, it can save time.
@@OmriCohen-Music I'm pretty new to vcv, but liked Stroke immediately. Basically, every new cable I draw is white and then with one keypress (1, 2, 3 or 4) I color it correctly. Really nice. Also keeps me from mistakes or forgotten to select the right color, since it will be white and draw my attention :) Additionally, I mapped a key (tab) to cycle the color of an existing cable, to fix mistakes ;)
@@carlodemichelis No worries :) If you open VCV, under Help, you can open the user folder so open it and then close VCV. Now, place this file in the plugins folder and open VCV again. It should work, let me know :)
@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks for the tip. I was using Clocked and enjoying the three outputs. I was linking them each to multiple parts of the composition and getting some interesting poyrhythms by tweaking midi CCs but I'd really like to modulate these with LFOs and other modules
Is there a module which can restrict the range of the midi CCs or the main mod wheel output? You know like a mod matrix on a standard synth where you only allow the mod wheel to control, say, the filter, a little bit?
@@annother3350 well, if you use the midi-map module, it's possible, but a bit more complicated. If you use the midi-cc module or the midi-CV, you can run the cable through an attenuator and attenuate the signal. The vcv VCA will work, as well as the cvmix module
