The voice of VT does it. Great voice.
Would love to have his voice as my voicemaibox message :-)
Haha glad to hear it! And believe it or not I used to record inbox messages for people in college and charge them beer money haha.
Ya bajé el "Nucleus" y a simple vista enamora!!! Pero las posibilidades sonoras que ofrece están muuuy PRO! Congratulatios!!!!
Es muy divertido trabajar con Nucleus, me alegra que lo estés disfrutando!
OMG! I cannot thank you enough! Just started with modular, had Minibrute SemiModular, but nothing as intense as this. I was going totally wacky but your tutorial gavotte spring board to get my head around it. Obviously as my first day I won't remember it all but I'll keep coming back and also trying myself to "toss some spaghetti around". Will mod def subscribe to your channel and save this tutorial of yours to my fav. THX-again!
No problem at all, glad you found it helpful! Modular is a VERY deep rabbit hole so I wanted to try and get a video out covering some of the fundamental ideas so you can then start with enough info to get more in depth! I'll be doing some more stuff with Voltage in the near future!
Please say: EA Sports - Its in the Game
Haha some major nostalgia there
It might be 4 years old but this is still a great tutorial. Learned a lot! Thanks 😊
This is so hard! I've used FM and wavetable and analogue vst synths but this is so complicated!!! I will update my learning progress. Currently on day 1
Modular is a world of its own! However, I'm sure you'll have the 'aha!' moments along the way and really dive down the rabbit hole soon!
@@VenusTheory Right! I'll see where my patience takes me!
Seems like a great entry way into modular synthesis. This definitely helped getting things started
Glad to hear it was helpful! Voltage Modular is a ton of fun and Nucleus is a great way to dive into the basics, but is also insanely capable and powerful when you really learn how to harness it! Enjoy!
Your voice is like butter
I just downloaded and installed Nucleus and your video has been a great and welcome intro. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Enjoy it! Nucleus (and VM in general) is super fun to mess with!
Thanks for this clear explanation! I may even attempt to create my own sounds rather than just calling up presets all the time :)
Glad it was helpful! And highly recommend taking the time to craft up your own sounds, there's loads of exploration potential and it's a great way to learn more about how/why sounds work.
Loved the video , Cameron. Especially your explanation about Gate and trig 🤣
I get real technical up in here
Hey, for anyone watching in 2020, they've updated the vst since then. So if anyone experiences a consistently lingering tone that get's annoying, turn down the input gain all the way on the amplifier. You'll still hear everything because the main volume will still be the same.
You're simply awesome at this, thank you!
No problem, glad it was helpful!
I like your little humour
Such a great channel, your knowledge and ability to teach it on is superb, great combo la ....
Thanks, glad to hear you enjoy the channel!
Loved this vst since i first opened it! I know most of the stuff in this vid already (experienced with VCV rack) but i want to see more vids on this vst in the future so i gotta comment and hit the like button.
It's a bunch of fun for sure! I'll be doing some tutorials with the full version soon!
got it last week and i cannot stop fiddling with it!
I've had the same problem ever since I got my hands on it haha. I'll end up sitting there patching something ridiculous and realize I've done nothing productive in like 3 hours.
i ve installed ,cant wait to try :D
Enjoy! It's a ton of fun to mess with!
I love the tutorial! However, are you able to assign a knob to do an opposite value turn? Like having it where you turn it one way but you told it to turn it the opposite way.
Yep! You can set that up by changing the minimum/maximum value settings in the MIDI tab.
Hello I'm got this with a bundle that came with my Presonus interface. My question is how and when do I use this. I'm using studio one for my DAW and I thought if i just dragged this into the desired track that I choose that I could then play my keyboard but trigger Voltage which seems not to be working? Also if I play something and record it can I just slap this on what I played and try to change it? Thanks for you help and the video was awesome I just could not get it to work tonight.
Thanks for this tutorial , i just discover "Voltage Modular Nucleus" which is free actually with the sanitary crysis and in the same time the modular synthesis.
Little questions :
- my arp's CV sliders are limited into the range C2 to C7, impossible to put a C1, it is from a parameter or do you think it is from the version?
- is there a module in this bundle able to manage the mid/side?
Hope you will do more videos with this kind of powerfull technique of "double arp" which allows a lot of possibilities and fun !!
Once again THANKS for the great job !
Yo! Not quite sure what you're referring to offhand there about the CV slider, but you might reach out to their tech support for help with that!
As for mid/side, Nucleus doesn't offer any mid/side modules but I think there might be one or two in the store! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@VenusTheory well noted, thank for your answer !
im not able to set the first pitch of the sequencer to c1. why is that...also not the 2 just 3 and 4....why is that? i doenloaded the nucleus last week some my modules like the amp and filter look differnent than yours, is that a update matter?
i followed all the steps at the start but when i integrated the enveloppe it keeps on buzzing, checked everything again but it wont stop...any ideas?
8StringsPlays said right, underviewed channel, subscribed. In the shop are bundles on sale. Do you recommend one of this? And please don't say all ;-)
Appreciate it dude! As for the bundles I'd say my two 'must haves' are the PSP collection and the Misfit Drums
Thanks for the in depth overview and patching explaining but how i sync the Arp/Seq to the bpm of the DAW? Can i?
Glad you enjoyed it! There's actually a tutorial on the official CA channel on syncing with the DAW here:
th-cam.com/video/x2PGH2CZofE/w-d-xo.html
@@VenusTheory thanks! CA got some great plugins! Great way of explaining modular in a very easy way!
1) I'm quite misunderstood - how exactly connect "stop" and "play" jacks in step sequencer to make them playable with my keyboard?
I'm really confused and see no logic around here, because i need to connect it where exactly?
I understand, that i can go with anything to "play" jack, but how to stop it properly?
I mean only when i'm hitting the keys it's making sequence and when i'm releasing keys - it's stops.
2) How about using it as VST and syncing with DAW tempo?
Have you ever considered doing voice overs for adverts ?
I actually do voiceover work every once in a while haha.
What does it mean to connect two outputs to the same input?
You could connect two (or all) of the oscillators waveform outputs to the input of the amplifier for example. You would have two or more cables going for the input in this case. Makes for a whole different sound than just a sinewave. Or you could try it with LFO ?? ;)
@@dewil7313 Thanks for the reply! If I'm not mistaken, this doesn't work with hardware modular, right? A shortcut in Voltage Modular to save a mixer?
@@baganatube I thought I replied but maybe the links were not appropriate, sorry for that. There are these things called split and stack cables and I think you could do a search on those and find some answers ;)
Do you know how to make automate clip from cutoff like in other vst plugins in fl
Yo! For that, you'd assign a parameter to the 'perform' rack, then you can automate it in your DAW!
@@VenusTheory ok thanks
heyo, thanks for the tutorial!
Quick question: when I patched the line from pitch, into amplifier, then into MAIN OUTS, the saw sound keeps on playing. It still responds to key triggers, but it just keeps on playing. Any idea how to stop it/make it completely key-trigger only? Cheers
re the connection:
just realised that I don't have KEYB CV, but rather just a PITCH CV. Maybe that's the problem?
Yo! For that you would need to add an Envelope with the CV modifying the Amplifier and trigger the envelope with the Gate in the I/O panel.
As for Keyb CV and Pitch CV - these are the same thing, it was just renamed in the updated version.
Idk if I'm dumb but the part at 12:50 loses me. I right click, "edit value", type in C1, press enter but it goes back to default
Interesting! Perhaps that behavior was changed. I just tested it, and was able to enter a note by clicking and entering a value, then clicking away.
@@VenusTheory Hmm.. For some reason the note value in the step sequencer won't go below C2. This is with version 2.2.4.
Not a biggie, but when following this tutorial I had to add 1 to every value given. I don't know if there is some basic setting (in the whole application or only for the step sequencer) that can change that, but as said - It's not really a problem.
Voltage Modular nucleus is only monophonic?
Yes and no - the modules it comes with are only mono, but the synth is capable of poly if you purchase some poly modules to use!
@@VenusTheory How o can to do this?
Great video. Next time go a little slower please. LOL You definitely know your stuff. I will have to watch this about 50 more times to get it all down. Thanks
