PRO TIP: If you are in mod edit mode on any of the modules (ie if one of the mod buttons is pressed/active) Then you can still move the knob (rather than edit mod amount) by holding down the ALT/OPTION + SHIFT keys. This is really useful if you want to tweak the knob position and modulation amount together without having to keep clicking the mod button on and off… it really improves the workflow. Just remember: ALTernatively I can SHIFT the knob!
Damn VCV is such a gold mine, some free modules are so good I used them as kind of "stand-alone" plugins in my DAW for mixing pretty much any source that needs a little twist, not just electronic stuff
im in love with the wavetable osc and the filter allready, you can really dial in that self oscilation so its just singing a bit in the background... perfect
A great thing! I´ll not be able to watch it life unfortunately, but will come back to the recording later. Enjoy your day, and have a great stream! Rolf
Not trivial to build Surge though. It would make our CI last that much longer (which is already quite an ordeal) and make our final binary that much bigger. Means builds like webassembly can't be cached etc. So make it: maybe, but likely not soon.
Thank you Omri for showing this and explaining how to dl/use it... =] This is AwEsOmE, it solves all the things about SurgeXT VST plugin that I wish could be better. #1 It's very visual.

What an amazing collection! So thankful for all the hard work that got into this, and which such clever and great looking interfaces as well. Just wonderful! Christmas came pretty early this year. Great demo as always, Omri!
Oh wow! I love the Surge XT VST so this is a bit of a game changer. The modulation options are stunning and the layout also looks really pleasing on the eye. Great demo man, cheers 👍

Great stuff here. Thanks for this. Does work within Cardinal, and then within DAWs and probably other host environments - though I will have to check a few more.
oh ja, what an amazing gem for VCV, sounds great, looks great, feels great and is FREE ... additional a awesome presentation from Omri, what can we ask more ;-)
This is just what I've been looking for this month, a few new inspiring voices and a good new interface rabbit-hole to get lost in, the String VCO especially just sounds amazing. It all seems like great UI design and finally an excuse to dig into the Serge world. I've heard so many good things about it, but never quite 'got' the interface before in a way that stuck with me.
Finally finished the video, hah, so many jaw dropping moments! I thought people were being a little hyperbolic in the other comments about this collection leveling up vcv rack, but I think it's actually quite true. I have a feeling that many many of those are going to become go-to modules in every patch for me for some time to come.
For some reason, when I follow this, I can NOT get the envelope to work. I get constant envelope-less sound from the oscillator. Not my setup...I've tried other patches. Looks amazing and sounds great.
Thank You, I really found your video useful! Can you construct and share file or show video, how the vst version of surge was built? It will explain a lot, how to program the vst version for Windows.
@@OmriCohen-Music I mean, that VCV version, probably, if I well suppose, are modules, made from fragment of source code of Surge VST. If I am right, then it is possible to make, knowing the Surge VST block schema, the VCV version of surge vst, acording the connection diagram of typical vst, such OSCs, LFOs, Filters, ADSR, VCA, VCO, etc. Theoretical we can make Modular version of vst plugin. Can you make something like that? It would be useful to know the way of connections and under stand how Surge works, so also, how to make presets, programs.

@@DarkSideofSynth I went so far that I only saw a tiny white dot among many :) sorry for not being able to answer these big questions, which make humanity suffer XD
Amazing collection, amazing demo - thanks! I wonder how well Treemonster works with pre-recorded samples or live playing ... I bet quite well, with some treatment of the source.
TreeMonster works best with monophonic signals - the pitch detector is a pretty naive zero crossing with averaging and hysteresis. But the FX itself is polyphonic so if you can send 16 monophonic signals on the poly channels you will get a better result than summing them first. As to recorded music, well the filters are there to help you shape the input to get good detection. It's a bit of an art.
@@baconpaul5772 Yeah, absolutely - in typical use I would send "monophonic" playing/soloing from a guitar, or make some recordings of short loops. I have been using Entrian's pitch/env follower for this. It's great, but it introduces some latency in my setup which can be tough to compensate for. Hoping a naive implementation will be snappier. Wait, what am I doing typing comments when I could be trying it out? This is amazing work - thanks!
@@fuzzix ha ha! We’ve thought about decomposing it some after our first release also including giving it a cv out for detected tuning and perhaps also making the tracker a standalone narrow module - stay tuned and follow the announcements thread on community or just add it to the library when we are done and look for updates in 2023!

not sure what's better, the surge collection or your demonstration. let's say they're both great.
