Let's Learn Eurorack (ft. VCV Rack): 01 - The Basics 

Thank you for talking through this in a (mostly) straight line!

absoluutely the clearest tutorials on learning eurorack via VCV

Jeremy, I have to send a big thanks for these 4 videos. You’re a great teacher, and I’ve enjoyed you’re videos over the past. This series is tops. You seem tireless putting these up and maintaining your channels. So much appreciated. Keep up the awesome work.

Wow, a beginner tutorial that actually is for beginners! Too many "beginner" tutorials skip into super advanced concepts in the first 30 seconds. I actually learned from this! Thanks!

Mate. I’m only 2:41 in and you’ve told me the most valuable thing - how to download all modules from a single developer. Thank you! I decided I want EVERYTHING and it’s taken me days going through and clicking all of them.

WARNING: VCV Rack may be free but it is your gateway drug to actual hardware eurorack modules! ;)

As a beginner for almost a month, you're blowing my mind! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us 🙏

Perfect. Looking forward to the series!

I'm a complete newb to modular synthesis and I've been looking for tutorials and explanations like this, hands down the most in-depth tutorial and explanation i've come across online.. just after id spent £80 on Patch & Tweak.. :( haha Thank you!

This is the clearest explanation of modular synthesis I’ve ever seen! 💔

Started with VCV when I couldn't afford eurorack. Still can't afford it, but now I have a 9u 126HP eurorack filled with DIY modules. Great hobby designing and building modules!

I got a Behringer Crave last month, and opened up Pandora's box. I made a couple nice sounding things, but then really hit a wall in terms of truly understanding what was happening on the synth. Then, of course, after digging into other synth work, I became obsessed with making sounds like I love in all of the ambient stuff I've listened to all my adult life. There I learned its mainly eurorack builds, and that I had to try my hand. I downloaded VCV and then realized how little I knew, in a beautiful way. This video really allowed me to dive in, pause, take notes, and really learn something I have never heard of, or understood before. It's really just been the most amazing experience, and feels life changing. It has reminded me of any other sculpture, or painting with oil, so when you begin to describe subtractive synthesis concepts 101, it kind of clicked. Once I got to the end of this video and hooked up Plateau, and then a subsequent Erica delay, it was game over. Thank you. Moving onto Part Two.

Beautiful, this is exactly the series I was hoping you’d make since you got into modular. Can’t wait to watch this and the rest of the series!

Great tutorial. I run a modular synth residency in NC and I’ll definitely direct folks to this. Also, shout out to you for covering so many free modules in VCV Rack.

Learned a lot following along with you in VCV. Excited for this series!

Yes! I have waited very long for this! thank you so much Jeremy!

Learning all the basics of what everything does is a HUGEEEE help. Looking forward to the rest of these videos!!!

This is so awesome! Thanks for the series Jeremy!

I've only seen a few of your videos with OP-1 but YT recommended this and it's freaking rad. Can't wait to follow along on episode 2!

Thank you for doing these! What a good thing you are doing here. Just know you are undoubtably appreciated more than you hear or even realize.

Soooo looking forward to the rest of this series. Thanks Jeremy!

One of the biggest revelation about voltage control is to imagine that its moving the knobs on the module. For EX. at 8:30 Imagine that LFO Sine wave into V/OCT is turning that Pitch KNOB left and right slowly. Now imaging that with any knob input. Humans can never turn the knob fast enough not to hear a ramp. that's why for example an Keyboard voltage input is instant, so you hear pitch change instantly. It's confusing until you just use VCV and vision it. :)

Incredible introduction to vcv, thanks so much for making this

This was absolutely a blast to follow along with. Thanks so much for this content!

Thank you very much - THIS is the 'getting started' video I've been looking for for a long time!

OH MAN, I have been hoping you would do something like this! Lets gooo

Best modular syth introduction I found so far!

Coolest VCV video series ever. A true gem.

This was great. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks, J-bird!

This is absolutely splendid; and a perfect reminder for me to reinstall VCV Rack on my machine, and follow along as well! I've got some of the basics, but am always up to reaffirm and learn more. Excited!

Awesome tutorial Jeremy.. I ACTUALLY learned something new today because of this!! Thanks for being so friggin' awesome and sharing this with the community!

wow that's crazy I was searching for whether you'd done any tutorial videos for VCV Rack literally a few hours ago after deciding to give it a try. Thanks for the tutorial can't wait for the future instalments.

Good job man! Only took me about a dozens times in loop mode, but I got the concepts. Ready for the next one!

This is brilliant! I'm looking into modular and this is just the perfect start! Thank you!

Wonderful Intro. Thank you !!!

So helpful, I've been trying to get familiar with VCV Rack over the last few months and this was a great help. Looking forward to going deeper in the next one!

Been binge watching this channel for a while now. Gotta say that the content (and the host of course) is amazing!

Jeremy delivers the best learning materials, full stop. Thanks for the video!

SO glad you did this video - this program is very intimidating to me even after I think I know what I'm doing.

I've been waiting for something like this. Thanks for your hard work. Ive been trying to teach myself Rack 2 and it's not immediately intuitive. There are plenty of advanced tutorial videos out there but not a lot of good foundational ones so thanks again!

So happy to see more people diving into eurorack with VCV. Started using VCV for all my music production about a year ago and I've never been happier making sounds.

I've had this downloaded on my iPad for years and years, and could never figure anything about it out. Thanks for this series!

After 3 days of reading and watching videos, I feel like the concepts really stuck with this one. I'm glad I found this series, thank you!!

Just gonna leave a preemptive "like" here because I know this series will be great. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, Jeremy!

Soooooo good! I’ll be patching alongside you videos using miRack and sitting in a hammock. I’ll share these videos with my friends. I appreciate you Jeremy!

Thank you so much for doing this .. you taught me the OP-1, now you teach me VCV. Awesome 🙏👏

One of my favorite things is how you use and explain all the terminology. I'm super excited to get into modular synthesis and VCV is amazing so far!

immediately downloaded vcv rack when you said it was free. i've been trying and failing to fully comprehend eurorack for a while now and well, this series seems like the perfect place to start. Looking forward to more!

Very good video! Espacially the time you took with showing what's going on with the scopes helped me a lot.

While I'm no stranger to -love- software synths, I had tried to get into VCV rack and got a bit muddled when things seemed to just 'not work'. I have a feeling this series will be exactly what I need to get started. Thanks :D

the actual first video that is making me feel comfortable with euroracks and helping me realize this isnt that complicated and its actually something i CAN do. im so excited

This was amazing! Looking forward to part 2!

I literally just downloaded VCV Rack 2 last night, this is perfect timing!

Great video, in an hour i've gone from feeling utterly overwhelmed by vcv to feeling pretty comfortable using it. Thanks heaps.

Thank you so much for this tutorial series! I thought I would never ever be able to grasp any of these because of how complex they seemed. My favourite part about your teaching is that you explain the terminology! You have given me newfound hope!

Hey, wanted to say that I found this series super useful: it was my entry to VCV and now a couple of months down the line into hardware eurorack. I find your videos inspiring and useful! Thank you.

Love your approach to teaching this! I've played with VCV and kind of gotten stuck but now I can follow where you lead and see where it can take me.

This was great, I really can't wait until Part 2! I'm not a complete beginner, so I pretty much knew this stuff, but it was still a really great refresher and I did learn a couple of things (I have never used the out of the scope!). But I'm in this for the long haul :)

Oooooh my god! I did not know you made this video! I've been losing track of your videos and it makes me feel terrible. You're a gem! I can't wait to get through this with you!

THANK YOU!!!! I’m brand new to this world, and I really appreciate this thorough walkthrough!!

BLESS YOU, SIR 😭 I could never have understood this without such a thoughtful, clear explanation. wow, thank you so so much

Thank you for sharing this! This is a great resource, for anyone getting into synthesis. Looking forward the next episode.

Fantastic tutorial - absolutely fascinating piece of software. Really enjoying it.

letssss goooooo, just got the new version of VCV rack vst, excited for this series.

One of the best instructional video I have seen. Got me from completely stuck to moving along.

Excellent tutorial Jeremy! Thank you.

Incredible tutorial. And I had some unexpectedly good results while making my own first patch off the back of this. Thank you!

This is excellent, thank you Jeremy!

Holy cow, this is one of the best RU-vid videos I have ever watched. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to the next 3 parts! I've always wanted to dive into modular but have always found it too intimidating. Thanks Jeremy!

Wonderful presentation here- will definitely check this out.

Great video, I downloaded VCV a year ago and after hours of getting nowhere I gave up. I decided to dive in again and after the first 10mins of this video it all started to make sense. You have a great ability to explain things to a beginner, something which too many RU-vidrs don't seem to have. A lot of people posting videos assume a level of understanding and vocabulary that a beginner won't have or they go to the other extreme and come across as patronising. I feel inspired now to start actually making music with it, can't wait to watch your other videos 😎

Wow! What an amazing tutorial to this amazing software. Your teaching style is incredibly clear and easy to understand for a noob like me. Your voice and presentation style...I could listen to you for hours! You got my subs!

Super cool intro. Thanks!

yes i’m so excited for this series!!

That plateau reverb *chef's kiss*

Your ability to teach this is amazing! I've gone through so many modular tutorials and they always make sense *as I'm going through them* but the second I'm not following, I'm lost. It's been days since I've gone through all of these tutorials and it all just clicks. I don't have to follow along. I can just create. It all actually makes sense! Thank you so much!

this is super useful.. I always wanted to try out modular, and thanks to you - I now can!

dang, this is great. really demystifies the foundational concepts. i'm glad i found this software and your video.

Excellent, followed it all the way through. Great tutorial. Thank you.

This is the most complicated thing I've ever seen in my life. Thanks

This is so great. Thank you. I have played with VCV Rack a little and I was sort of familiar with some of the concepts. But I was missing super basic stuff like “make keyboard make notes”. 💖

This is so awesome :) going to dive into VCV rack to see if I can justify going down a new avenue for my music production addiction!

Wow!! Great explanation man! Clear, synthetic and very educative. Thank you very much for your videos. Greetings from Spain!!

Thanks so much for this Jeremy! Can't wait for Part 2! :)

thak you so much for building this tutorial series, I'm already having a lot of rack fun thanks to you, can't wait to get started with sequencing

noo waaaay.. this is going to be fire series, awesome!

Thank you for this! I'm following along at home. Finally a way to get into synth with no prior knowledge and no fungible cash

Knew everything in here, watched it anyways because you're just so dang chipper about it. Plus there's always value in witnessing how other people route and use modules, it spawns ideas.

So much incredible info here!

Been binging modular synth videos since I discovered LMNC, a friend told me to have a look at VCV. Something wasn't yet clicking and the control voltages were confusing me, but then when you patched your envelope output and your midi gate output onto the same scope I had AN EPIPHANY!

Great intro. Thanks!

Great video, some of the things I were already familiar with, others not as much, but I'll subscribe and look forward to the next video in the series!

Thank u, I've been waiting for this

Yes!! Thank you for this series!

Omg. Did not see this complete awesomeness coming!!

This is just amazing, the way you explain modulation as invisible hands, I can't think in something better to compare it. Love it man it not only shows modular but you can show almost everything about synthesis, you can even show types of synthesis as VCV (great tool btw, didn't know about it) has everything to work from the flesh. Amazing job man keep on it!

such a thorough video sir you are amazing

i was following along until i realized who you were! I loved, love, and will love everything you do! Kepp going, mate!

Awesome Content, Totally Love It

I can't believe I got that to work! Thank you.
