Introduction to the Memory System of VCV Rack modules

A set of related modules for use with VCV Rack 2.0. They combine to form ensembles of
recording and playback of audio. Forms an inverted tape machine, with a motionless
recording medium (a Memory) and playback and recording heads that move independently within it.
These modules are free at library.vcvrack.com/Stochasti...
This is a brief introduction to a few different ways to use them. Here's the links to the patches I demonstrate (click the down-arrow button to "download raw file"):
Introduction: (github.com/mahlenmorris/VCVRa...)
First Guitar Example: (github.com/mahlenmorris/VCVRa...)
Square Wave and Delay:(github.com/mahlenmorris/VCVRa...)
Guitar Beat: (github.com/mahlenmorris/VCVRa...)
Live Recording: (github.com/mahlenmorris/VCVRa...)
The plugin with all of my "modules" is at library.vcvrack.com/Stochasti....
I can't provide the guitar samples you hear in the recordings, so use your own! Enjoy.

Very interesting Mahlen, thanks!

Interesting, thanks for the walk-through! I used to do a lot of ambient guitar looping with VCV, these modules could be a great option for that. Simpliciter used to be my weapon of choice for playing back at different octaves and scrubbing through the buffer, but seems a bit buggy these days. I'll definitely be trying your collection at some point instead. 👍

Very cool idea! I haven't played much with memory/sampling modules before. This one is pushing me over the edge. I'm gonna try these tonight!

Wonderful! Would love to hear anything you come up with.

I love these so much. One question: is there a good way to implement a tap-tempo loop?

@StochasticTelegraphTech Месяц назад

The short answer is currently "not yet". I've always expected to do an additional module in this system that would be better suited to loops that are smaller than the whole length of the buffer. In the meantime, you can *maybe* hack something together by sending a signal to the POSITION SET input whenever you want it to return to some particular position. I admit that this is not terribly convenient, especially since SET only works when you _change_ the value, so if you, say, want to repeatedly set the position to 1.0V, you have to change SET to something else, and then switch back to 1.0V. I don't consider this a "good way" :), but it could sort of work. The chapter at 7:09 gives some insight into doing this, but this bears little resemblance to what I suspect you mean.

Just discovered these thanks to Omri. Congratulations! One question - is it possible to record non-audio CV e.g. like the "Seq" 1 V/O output from Slips ? I quickly tried it just now, but the Embellish record button doesn't do anything when I try to activate it.

@StochasticTelegraphTech Месяц назад

Whoa, there's an Omri video? Thanks for the heads up! (found it, it's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WQ9XN9qqOYI.html). While the signal ducking that happens when heads pass each other may cause the playback of CV to do surprising things, I have certainly recorded CV using Memory. And I have a future plan to make a MemoryCV module that is better tuned to recording CV, but the existing one will work. But I'll upload an example video later this week to demonstrate that it's possible.
