The first 6 minutes are truly amazing. Not only do you deliver a lot of basics to someone who has no clue about sound creation but you easily adapt to the tool as you go.
i just killed 3 hours watching your video and building my first rack myself. this is so freakin awesome. i just want a big blizzard to come so i can be locked up with this thing. i am hooked and your demo helped me get started. i'm am completely fixated now. I subscribed and will be viewing all yer junk on this rack thing. i'm loving it. THANK YOU!!!
You don't need to mix or split the output for stereo. Just use two patch cables out from one output to the channel 1 and 2 (L and R). It took me awhile to figure it out but you are not limited to one patch cable per connection.
Awesome tutorial. Awesome product. Love that it runs on linux. I found out about it due to Andrew Huang mentioning it in his free stuff for 2019 video. Cheers.
So tru😂. It sucks being me I’m interested in modular and creative/complicated subjects but I’m a kronk brain I have a tun of learning difficulties so me doing that while high is practically impossible!
What an incredible way to learn about modular synths before wasting money on it. I've been curious about modular but don't have thousands of dollars to waste on gear so this is great way to get exposure before jumping in.
I'm not following hard enough to know if you had any plans to cover VCV Rack 2, but hearing your comments on clouds made me check. The current version has the freeze and mode all figured out. Thanks for getting me going with the software again!
@@wheresmydrink4552 You may like the idea of not having to have your info spoon fed to you because yes you learn more that way and believe me I get it, it's just that some of us are busy a f and trying to learn fast
Man this was sick!! Super impressed! Especially with the price tag!!! I would love to see some in depth tutorials on Rolands new Eurorack digital multi effects/modules. They're are a whole bunch of em and the whole customisable aspect is mind boggling to me. I don't see how each module stands out from the other
Thank you so much for this tutorial, you made it easy and fun to start working with something brand new for me. This made such a positive impact for me - thank you, Benn!
Benn this is amazing! Thank you! I absolutely love your album Pale Blue Dot, the 15:15 mark on the video was giving me those PBD vibes. Thanks for sharing.
I actually would of dived out of the video 6 minutes in but I find synth intriguing and I have to agree, the tactile nature of a physical object is somehow more intuitive. Good video.
You don't need a mult, you can just hold down the ctrl key while dragging a wire and it allows you to "stack" multiple wires from one source. And of course there are LFOs, in "Fundamental", at least in my Version 0.6.0. You can search for it in the white title bar by entering "lfo". And don't forget to click all free plugins on the website, then download them.
For stereo (or any multiple connection) you can just hold Ctrl and drag, i.e. drag from a source to output 1, hold ctrl, then drag from that same source to output 2. Or drag from the same Osc to 4 different filters or effects, etc.
thanks for this its very inspiring the 'somewhat interesting thing' you made by the end is somewhat fucking beautiful i really appreciate your videos, this one has given me something to dive into during a really hard time the video really helped me get my head around starting to work with modular (i just moved to japan so this is a dangerous place to get into that stuff, its everywhere : ) peace xx
When the "Space" knob of Elements is at zero, it plays the output of the strike/blow/bow module out the left channel and the output of the resonator to the right channel. It's not a bug, that's how the hardware version of Elements works.
I downloaded this program yesterday... I'm a total newb with modular... but I do understand the basics of synthesis... you've done a great job of making VCV accessible... Thanks!!
@Benn and Gear at one stage you asked how to send stereo to to the audio. You dont need a multiplier, you just pull two cables out and send them to the in 1 and 2 of the audio module
Interesting. Was hoping the virtual Modular Synth software market would get another free addition like the very amazing (but also very cumbersome to use) SynFactory from many years ago which was my first introduction to software Modular Synthesizers at all.
I've heard of vcv rack, but never tried it. I hope I like it, because I'm not sure whether the convenience & price of VCV Rack justifies _not_ buying modular hardware. That warm analog sound is the only reason I'm interested in modular at all, because it's so financially intimidating.
I guess you can sort of make an LFO by patching an alternating sequence (here functioning as a low-frequency square) into an ADSR, stretching out the attack and decay and release while taking the sustain down to zero to make the slow square coming out of the sequencer kind of sine-ish?
HI. To do have output on 1 and 2, you can click an drag the output of the vca in input 1 of audio interface and than click on output 2 of the audio interface and drag to your output vca. That will combine the output of both 1 and 2 output. (Just know that I just watched the first 7 minutes of the video I have no ideas if you have a better solution further...)
I just want something that makes my useless keyboard I keep holding onto because it looks cool and has ten thousands buttons can make an interface or it’s hitting the trash
At 15:00 you make it into the bow noise for a second that I love. But when I try to make the bow on my own VCV, it makes no sound. I copied just about everything to try to get that tone but I can't get it to work. :(
It sounds like BELLS RINGING ANNOUNCING THE DEATH OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH BY 2020 ( as predicted by ISAAC NEWTON) Thanx for your inspiring tutorial.
