Another genius idea from Jakub. Amazing! I love the use of Conway's Life to control a VST that is usually the tool of deliberate and careful composition. Having done some of that myself I have a lot of sample libraries now, but I took a break for a few years and my collection is out of date. However, this inspires me. Maybe I'll try it with LASS, Cinematic Strings etc. :)
Wow, what a great bit of patching. It must take a lot of computer to run 15 copies of Spitfire, but the results are amazing. So well balanced. So organized. So beautiful.
Hello Jakub! This is great, I am really interested in achieving the "base" patch you did it, I don't know why but I can't install the GitHub folder, follow the instructions of the VCV website, etc... I do not see the plugin.dll file (just plugin.json) so, I think it could be an incompatible format (I have vcv rack 2 pro). I contacted to the author so I am waiting for his response...Besides this, is there any chance you share this patch, or at least the basic foundation? The up row and just one of the sections? It's complicated if we can't see the cables... Thank you, Xavier Duch
It uses vcv host to send midi signals to external DAW which runs kontakt with all that libraries. So if CPU is capable of running the DAW and BBC symphony, it should be fine. VCV load is very low there
are you doing anything in vcv to humanize the notes, or velocity randomness? perhaps that's handled by those sequencers.. or inside the spitfire plugin itself. anyway lovely very reich/glass like. reminds me a bit also of john luther adams' work. im surprised how the lib's staccatos hold up (a bit noticeable in the strings section but then again, it's v hard to fake strings)
You mean what he's explaining here? 3:10 I think this is what's mainly contributing to that swelling and fading of the music, making it feel more organic.
One issue with these kind of patches is that even though they evolve in time they feel pretty stationary : it doesn't' really build up into a larger composition with distinct sections, like an intro, a low intensity part, a solo, a loud part, change in harmonies or instrumentations, etc. You can achieve this to some extent using presets and going through them but I don't think I've ever seen that done in a truly generative way.
omg fuck yeah, ohh gaud, fuck yes...this is the kinda shit i wanna make not fucking r2d2 android blabberings like most of the vcv examples i see on here loool, i think that raw fm computerish sound is what drives ppl away from this software, that shit can be jarring to isten to repeatedly loool. i can afford 30 but i cant afford to pay for chords too sadly.
This gives me so many ideas :) thank you!
Amazing work thanks for sparking some ideas
always amazed what you come up with, thanks for sharing your immense knowledge so freely
One word...... "WOW". Thanks for sharing! Still going through all of your videos, they've kept me engaged like crazy.
Your talent is getting music out of your patches! Thank you
This is incredible. Really appreciate letting it play out at the end, thanks!
This is really good. I hope you consider sharing the patch, it's a clever design.
This is really brilliant work thank you for sharing!
you're incredible
Just brilliant. Very cinematic result! Thanks for sharing this!
That is one beautiful patch. Sounds incredible.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this. Crazy cool!
This is beautiful and inspiring
This is incredible. Well done, beautiful work!
This is so gorgeous. Amazing work!

Beautiful! Great Job Sir :-)
Please release it ❤
Amazing.
I have both the free BBC vst (and also Spitfire LABS) and Host, i should try this ! Amazing patch it sounds really cool :D !
nuts! love it
Brilliant
Cellular Automata Symphonic Orchestra
Very cool Jakub
Love
Please release your music, I really want to buy this and the VCF music you made earlier
Same!
I've been trying to find a way to do this. Thank youu!!! Though now to see if my PC can run it. Maybe just a Quartet :D
Please please please make a patreon for this patch
Great video, would be even greater if we could watch it while you are building it like Omri does.
Very nice, it's surprising what VCV can do. Could you share the patch.
dobre

Jakub, would you know if there is an equivalent to "Cells" in VCV 2? It does not appear that 2V has migrated their modules...thanks & fabulous work!!
NoteSeqFu from JW-Modules has a Game of Life mode.
Very nice! How CPU intensive is this patch? I suppose since its samples it might not be too bad?

Oh and a lot of the legwork is actually being done by the high quality samples of Spitfire.

Jakub, did you work with Hans Zimmer? Some parts remind me of the Interstellar soundtrack. Your videos are really amazing. Such high quality content.
