    Something about the bass reminds me of a tune for Final Fantasy VIII. Pretty awesome!

    This is very nice! Would you consider making another video (or blog post, whatever) breaking down how you designed and built this? I can see a couple of 8-step sequencers in there, but the whole thing is quite complex. [Came here from your comment on Tom Churchill's "Triggering with Zularic Repetitor" video.]

      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! 😂

    Very nice and laid-back. When the notes bend, it sounds a bit like a steel guitar.

      Thanks! I thought the same thing about the bending.
