Rings & Clouds - Eurorack Ambient Patch Tutorial #1 

NOTE: I've been informed that apparently I've read the lights on my uBurst wrong, and I am actually running in Spectral Madness mode here, not Granular/Clouds mode as previously stated. Thanks rbeny for pointing this out! Got any other modules you'd like me to show you some interesting patches for? Or questions about this one? How did you feel when you started out in your eurorack journey? Let me know!

These are the MOST helpful videos I’ve found on all of RU-vid for modular noobs like me, thank you!

My kingdom for more videos like this. The focus on specifics and tactical nitty-gritty is welcome and wildly underrepresented today.

I went from basically 0 experience to an ambient patch in VCV with this, thank you so much. I'm bit.

I've been diving in to ambient music production through VCV rack, and this is the video I've been searching for. Super great guide through the patch process of an ambient patch. Love it!

Yes!!! More of these! I've watched 10 sec of this and I'm already hooked. Thank you for this

Mate this is absolutely incredible, precisely the kind of music I'd love to make, and a hugely helpful tutorial! Subscribed and will be watching much more! Thanks :)

This is exactly the type of modular tutorials I have been looking for! Thanks for your help. I would love to see more of these videos in the future :)

So much fun. I love the use of marbles and stages as a kinda random gate generator, where you could cut down the number of states based on what gate-in you plug into

Thanks for the video. Ideas always welcome.

This was very much appreciated! great stuff.

This is a great video. Often times these instructional videos are over saturated with other modules. Would love to see more about Marbles and Magneto.

Keep these vids coming! Don’t stop after episode 2 please!

Awesome video, just what I was looking for. Thanks

This is an incredible tutorial as someone getting into modular synth. I have a build eurorack with these so I am learning on the go.

Thank you for putting this together. Got me over a few humps.

awesome tutorial, I've been fiddling w/ vcv rack trying to get the nice ringing plunk sound w/ rings and this helped

Even though I’m a little late to comment, this is one great video. Really excellent teacher and instruction. Learned a lot. Many thx.

Thank you for this. As a brand new modular synth rack maker I appreciate all the explanation!

Great video, thanks for making this.

Great video and really nice to watch!! Please do more!

this guy is awesome! so educational!

Hey. This is awesome. I'm just starting my eurorack journey with the Poly Digit/Beebo running the Mutable Instruments-based modules.

well done, glad i found your channel!

Thank you This video hit home for me 💯 I was just looking into clouds

really great tutorial! thanks ❤

great vid, keep them coming.

great job. i think its important to mention that a lot of modules the knobs have important relationships with eachother

Great video, with nice clear explanations. Would love to see more ambient stuff with Plaits and Clouds and also experimentation with the Excite input on Rings too.

6:11 "it's not really what you want" he says 😁

Good info. Thank you sir

really good pacing in the presentation

Useful! Thank you

Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤

Good stuff man

i just go the lofi junky. would love to see some content on that. also with nebulae v2 i struggle a lot. especially when it comes to manipulating a live signal. i'm not sure if it's possible or if i'm missing something. great video, very clear and straight forward. thank you for that. subbed. :)

Great tutorial, as you said, there isn’t much good starting tutorials. Thank you

nice one great

This is quite nice and gives me some more ideas to try with clouds. Rings is one of those modules that can do almost anything. I recently created a drone with Rings alone (well, almost alone, Sloths was modulating it). Your explanations are clear and well spoken. I’m subscribing! Thanks.🙏🏻

Thanks a lot !!

Thank you very much just got into a Pittsburgh modular foundations and I have a lot to learn

It's a good tutorial, one thing I would add though it really depends how much dry wet you have set especially on feedback 3rd light as the density pot position will depend on this.

Been a while catching up on your videos looking what’s new in ambient world modular

nice tutorial video! fyi, i believe your clouds is in spectral madness mode here, not granular (which is odd since the led showed it being in the first mode slot). you can tell by the behavior of the texture and size controls. texture in granular should just change the envelope shape of the grains. size in granular wouldn't affect the pitch, just would set the length of each grain being played. nice to see more patching on the fly videos.

Really nice tutorial. Just subscribed ! Thinking about Marbles for my next euro purchase...

This is great which module did the Reverb come from thank you

Thanks

Early on you mention the opposite to dissonant.. It's consonant :) FYI. Great video btw

Thank you so much! I'm really just starting my journey into all this and there is so little out there on just the absolute basics of how to even get a sound out of a system. Speaking of, what would you recommend for just that?! Would you be willing to make a video on just the absolute basics of powering these units, what's needed to generate a sound, and get it 'out' of of the system via mixer or other means to whatever means of monitoring/recording. (Again, thank you!!)

Great tutorial, my Eurorack is playing away by its self as I type this making lush ambient sounds! I see you have a Telharmonic in your rack. Will you be doing any ambient tutorials using that module?

More!!!

Very nice. I’d love to see you dig into magneto. I’m just getting to know mine.

I’m looking to build a small ambient rack. What would you suggest as the best modules to start with. It appears coulds, rings, and erbe verb would be best along with maths. Would love to exchange emails and bounce ideas off of you!

Could you make more videos like that? Thanx!!! :)

If i want a minimal ambient drone generative set up like this, how many thousands is it ?

On that last one, maybe some compression and then into LofiJunkie : )

I'm not really sure how to phrase my question but... with this Eurorack, is there a synth plugged into it out of frame of the video that is generating sound/notes, or is the signal strictly coming from JUST the modules?

What's the module on the very bottom left??

Is installing parasites on third party uburst modules doable?

Please help i tried thos but my cloud ( same model as you ) sounds like a horror movie!

dig into that qu bit

Non dissonant -- > consonant

I don't understand what you're using for a source sound. Does Marbles generate its own sound?

Well, since you asked, Telharmonic. Thanks.

I don't have Parasites installed and my Clouds doesn't do what yours does...
