Thank you!

@@HadynLander Thanks so much! I enjoyed your Mega Synthesis jams! I have one but haven’t used it enough to build muscle memory for the workflow…

Thank you! And congratulations on finishing your first song!

Thank you! I have come to love the Woovebox. I found the initial learning curve to be steeper than average, but once I got my bearings I found its workflow to be brilliantly thought through, and very powerful and feature-packed for its size and pricepoint. This video from Freebeat expands on what I mean about the workflow: th-cam.com/video/WAPyL36RZRw/w-d-xo.html

​@@josh_dick Thanks for the reply and suggested video to check out. Glad I came across the channel. Would you consider this a sketch pad or a device you can complete tracks? Its a shame their out of stock on the site

@@TheIsolatedGamerz You're welcome! It works well for both purposes. You can definitely complete tracks with it, there's a very flexible song mode that lets you create "fragments" where you pick the length of the fragment and which patterns should play as part of that fragment, among other things -- that's what was used to control the arrangement for the track in this video. A month ago, @woovebox wrote on Reddit that the waitlist has almost caught up to stock availability, so if you sign up for the waitlist now, chances are you won't have to wait very long: old.reddit.com/r/Woovebox/comments/1cp7ilp/when/l3obeg6/

@@josh_dick fragments sounds useful - I’m imaging stems. What is the sample time on woovebox? Or memory I have been added to the mailing list, im hoping to create some video game ish tracks :)

@@TheIsolatedGamerz The Woovebox can dump WAV stems of a completed song via Wooveconnect -- one WAV file for each track. You can see information about sampler limitations here: www.woovebox.com/support/guides--tutorials/sampler/limitations/

Thanks so much for all of the work you have already put and are continuing to put into developing the Woovebox, I love it!

Thanks so much for the compliment and for all of your excellent videos and music!

I'm currently working hard on making the Woovebox a little bit worse for the next update. But once the update is consistently terrible and any sparks of brilliance have been ironed out, I'd be happy to send you one to have a play with (no strings attached or expectations)?

@@woovebox 😂 I hope he takes you up on it!

@@woovebox your woove should be earmarked for Florian's 'Better Gear' series!

You know, we have to trash the woovebox to get it on bad gear. He has to fill up the screen with negative comments in that one part...

Thanks so much Patrick! I had somehow never heard of Laurie before, so will have to check out her work. I hope to make and post more with both VCV and eventually my hardware modular, but finding a large block of focus time to make something worth releasing is always a challenge! If you somehow haven’t seen Tom Churchill’s TH-cam channel or listened to his album “Patched Up”, I strongly recommend both, he always has very interesting ideas for modular.

Thank you!

I'm glad you like it! Not sure how much demand there is for a full breakdown (can provide more detail if there's enough!) but most of it is simpler than it first appears. I assume you noticed the labels I added to each section, which can help you get oriented? The audio-generating sections are mostly isolated from each other, but in general pull pitch CV from the "chords" section, are randomly triggered by the "trigs" section, and are modulated by the "modulation" section. The step sequencers you pointed out are used in slightly different ways: the "chords" one sequentially cycles between four root notes in a loop to send to harmonaig to build chords, and the bass drum one is basically being used as an offset clock divider so the bass drum always hits on the same beat.

The "melody" section is the most complicated and what I'm most proud to have figured out: A burst generator is randomly triggered occasionally. The burst generator triggers random notes in a C pentatonic minor scale to be generated, by quantizing a sampled-and-held random voltage. The pitch CV from that is then mixed with (added to) the chord root from the "chords" section, so the generated melody always follows the currently-playing chord.

@@josh_dick Thanks for the quick reply! I will look at your patch again when I have time... I use an IRL rack with limited modules (3 x 84HP) but I think replicating the basic melodic part might be feasible. 😊

@@pixelfrenzy You're welcome! My IRL rack is 2 x 84 HP, so using VCV rack feels like being lazy/cheating, when you can always just add more modules on a whim! Everything making sound in this patch is 5x Mutable Instruments Plaits and 2x Mutable Instruments Rings - not very feasible in the real world! 😂

Thanks! I thought the same thing about the bending.

Thank you!
