These 0hp low pass gates are the bees knees. And the forbidden planet filter is pulling clutch save the patch duty. Sketchy oscillator into the lp input and drum module into bandpass input, and a helpful volume knob. Learning I want more mults, and mixers, and I need longer patch cables now. Moving from vcv rack, it really becomes apparent how often I use stacking cables, how I should be using buffered mults in a lot of these cases, and how many cables I tend to use.
I find myself going "how am I out of stacking cables already? I've only got like a voice and a half patched."

Some say you can never have too many vca's. But what if you can never have too many delays?
I recorded my messing around patching. Trying to see if I could cobble together just a bit of a beat. A used chronoblob2 arrived in the mail today, and I needed to test it out. Figured what else to include in its feedback send/return path, than a couple more delays? Then I fed all that into my strega, since that's the only thing I have to get the heat down to headphone levels. And would you look at that? more delay!
Warning about a huge jump in volume part way through. I don't know what caused that. Maybe I didn't have a cable fully seated until that point? just be careful, watch the graph, and be ready with the volume.

Tried using my midi keyboard, but couldn't seem to get clock going from the nifty case. Just used the gates from the arp to start my clock divider going. It doesn't need a steady clock. Once it's running, you can disconnect, and it will keep time. I think this doot came out a little more cohesive. single drum voice, and single synth dooter voice. Sent the drum out to a joyo pocket metal, and the overall mix went through chronoblob, with a ring modulator and drive pedal in the feedback loop.

haha, yeah. I've been doing a bunch of patching to learn this new gear. Just hitting record, and uploading after, then pulling all the cables, and having a look at what different thing I want to try out. I picked up a disting mk4, and have been slowly going through parts of the manual, and giving different algorithms a spin.
Dual quantizer, dual euclidean patterns, and the tuner have been seeing the most use so far. If I don't want anything in tune, the resonator mode works a passable kick drum.
Cap't Big O is quite a beefy module. It does your usual waveforms, plus linear and exponential FM, a wave folder, and overdrive with inputs for each!

Neat rhythms. Do you need to know hexadecimal to use a tracker? That aspect seems like an extra layer of challenging.

sorta, but if you're motivated you'll learn it quickly. most data is just notes and that goes note-octave, no hex required. if we keep breaking down a typical message then that's typically followed by a instrument which is only two digits, but is hex so contains values up to FF (255 in decimal)

"C-4 00"
means you're triggering instrument 00 with the note C 4

effects are triggered in a column after the note data and can be evaluated every line, not just the line with the note on.

I spent most of the day shopping for some budget monitors so I can hopefully make some better sounding mixes (my current method is making it sound ok on headphones then playing it back on my stereo and going holy hell what is this poo poo was it mixed in a bog or something?). On that topic, does anyone have any recommendations for tutorials on "how to use compressor, for idiot" and other such audio production tools, aimed at someone who uses Ableton in much the same way I play fighting games?

B33rChiller




I would also like to learn this.
But, I'm also very ok with my mix being muddy or noisy.

I can almost comprehend sidechain in CV, as soon it gets more abstracted I am checked the gently caress out on understanding.
I haven't booted VCV Rack in a while, been too focused on chiptunes and trackers.
IDK who might be interested in this ITT but I joined a chiptune/video game music site https://battleofthebits.org/
they do little challenges. I haven't entered anything yet, but there are good resources for a couple different programs in the Lyceum. they do VCV challenges so if I see one come up maybe I'll repost here

E2: https://outfieldrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tired-wires <- only place I know of that still has these recordings from many computers and hard drives ago. Two sided cassette format, side one was three buchla/eurorack doots with two prepared piano doots. The second side was a buddy and I improv dooting in a super verby stairwell with a bunch of Chinese instruments neither of us knew how to play.

B33rchiller, this stuff is great. Did you actually reamp "delays in caves" into a cave for the reverb cause if so that is double rad. Is this vcvrack or a hardware rack of some kind?

Nope. That was the an experiment with splitting the signal to run through 2 different delays in parallel, with each one having its own fx send/return. I sent each of these loops through one of the channels on another stereo delay pedal, then back together to go through a reverb pedal on the way to the recorder.

There may be a strega in there too, for some damp dark flavour.

Probably not. Just guessing, but aren't banana plugs single conductor? My understanding is that systems using them would have ground connections behind the panel, while eurorack stuff uses eighth inch tip and sleeve connections. 2 conductors for signal and ground. You'd need a second jack for ground if you wanted to use banana cables.

Here's a patching idea I was playing around with tonight:
Gated reverb on drum sounds. I have a stereo multi reverb pedal.
What I did was send the signal froma snare into one channel and the high hat into the other, then on the return legs, I fed them through low pass gates before the mixer. I split the trigger signals so that the gate is opened at the same time the drum module is triggered. This way I could crank the decay on the drums, and on the reverb pedal, but still only get short bursts. But, since the decay was maxed, by the time a second snare hits, and the gate opens, you can hear the first hit still ringing the reverb. And the stereo pedal gets some cross talk, so I was getting hints of snare on the hats and hints of hats on snare. Give it a whirl some time. I guess reverb isn't just for end of signal path.
