Stellar stuff and beautiful examples! And yes, running arpeggiators with bernoulli gated clocks is neat :) What I've played with recently is to have two arps play the same chord but with different clocks, resulting in a, say, 3/2 polyrhythm, one arp goes up, the other does something else and then merge v/oct and gates into one oscillator. Oh, edit: The Scale/Diatonic combo is nice, hadn't realized the powerr of those modules, thanks :)
I really like to combine an arpeggiator with a regular sequencer, add both outputs together and send it through a quantiser. Then you can do things like pitch every third note up a little or create melodies around the chords. You can also go the other way and just hold one note on the areggiator and create a sequence in the sequencer, then add in additional notes to taste with keyboard/arpeggiator.
Great ideas Omri! I got nice results with a poly v/oct signal running through Bogaudio Stack and a sequential switch, playing the arpeggio in a different octave when the switch changes. Especially interesting when using an irregular clock division like 3, 5 or 7 on the switch for added variation and longer cycles.
youre a fuckin genius dude. these experiments all start out sounding so plain and then turn into beautiful patches. plus youre a good teacher! I am actually starting to understand what is possible.
I just gotta say, apart from having ridiculously helpful and educational videos and content, the community you created behind your Patreon and TH-cam is one of the most wholesome and most positive I've ever seen. Truly enjoying both watching the videos and reading the comments :)
Thank you, once again, Omri - For the incredible amount of inspiration, wisdom, education, and so on. It helps me simply learn and fulfill my blossoming passion for modular synthesis, music, and creativity. This is along with ultimately helping my overall understanding of how music is made and a lot about the essence of sound engineering and music production related things. Finally, I will say that through learning modular synthesis, VCV Rack, Patch & Tweak, and your content, I have been able to manage coming up on almost a year of sobriety for the first time in my adult life, largely due to the passion I have developed for modular, the learning and personal growth that has come along with learning and succeeding at many goals I have created and accomplished through modular, and all of the above (plus all things music related, really). I apologize for the ramble, I just wanted to share a part of what this wonderful community has helped me succeed with. You deserve all of the credit you receive, and then some! Thank you, so much, brother - Along with all of those reading this who are involved in this astounding community! Much love, JF 😎🙂 🪐🌈🎹🥁🎸🎧🔊🎛🎶🎵🎚☯☮⚛🍄
This is gold Omri, thank you! I’ve lost count of how many times, late at night, I’ve tried to watch this but the soporific nature of, both your voice and what you’re playing, simply lulls me off to sleep. Cheers for everything you do and a very happy new year to you and this wonderful community around you, peace ✌️
I’ve enjoyed a lot of your tutorials but this one really stands out for exceptional musicality and clear teaching and inspiration. thanks so much for your work, it’s greatly appreciated!
That was really dope, Omri!! great stuff... I got VCV Rack2 to learn and augment new stuff, adding functionality to my modular eventually. Didn't think I'd be impressed by the sound quality itself... but this sounds almost as good as my Vermona Perfourmer which is taking care of Arp duties here.
If there was a device to assign different patches to different portions of the keyboard, just as the evo grid, which inspires the Olafur Arnalds Stratus it would be amazing!
I took this patch and expanded it , changed it to use another 8seq as the input added another oscillator. My wife heard it and was watching what I was doing and said, Ok why do you need all that hardware you have if you can do this on the computer. LOL, this patch got me in trouble Omri.
I loved this! Recreated all the patches just to learn on the go. So much fun......BUT: one thing i couldn't find out is where the long open strings come from in the last patch. I guess it was added by a synth that wasn't shown?
Cheers man! I even learned wondering about it for days haha 😄 Alles Gute nach Berlin. Dort habe ich auch mal gelebt. Gruß aus Senja/Norwegen, the modular capital! 🤣🤣
damnit Omri, i spent an hour fiddling with this thing and following along through the video wondering why mine sounds a bit too clean and direct, and it was only in the last part of the video that I notice you pan over and show that your mixer's all going out through that Plateau filter!
@@OmriCohen-Music I'll take that on advisement for when I start mucking around with making my own patches. Loving that Chord/Diatonics/Arpeggiator combo.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING! - Question - i build 1:1 as you have - but if i trigger 2, 3 or 4 notes...i just only trigger at the sequenzer 1 note (status bar) :( - i hav e the ffeling that i dont have polyphonic .....?!?!
@@OmriCohen-Music Hoping this thread hasn't gone "stale" -- could you send me the bass/drums patch too? I am trying to build it but something is missing in the bass...
Hey Omri, just a question, where is the FM-OP voice going out to? All I get is a constant tone when going to the mixer. Thanks for this patch looks amazing!
Hi! The FMOP has a built in envelope you just have to activate it by enabling the envelope for the level with the little button on the module. Let me know if it works for you 🙂
In the last section (with gate sequencers), how are the notes being arpeggiated? Is this something built into the MIDI module because it's polyphonic? I'm trying to work out how to do something similar on my IRL rack. Thanks!
Yeah, this is working with polyphony but if you have a few oscillators and pitch sources, you can do something similar. You will need a way to control the amplitude of your voices though so VCAs, filters, folders, and such.
@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks Omri... I have a Befaco Muxslicer kit I'm going to build tomorrow, plus a Voltages expander for my MTM Turing Machine, so I will see what I can make using your inspirations. Cheers!
Thank you very much for your work! I have a question, instead of fm op I want to use Spitfire labs in ableton live 11 (vcv rack 2 pro vst). I gave cv signal and gate from arpeggiator to cv-midi (daw) But only rare notes are played in the Spitfire Labs, as if it does not hear midi polyphony but plays one of the midi voices. What do I need to do?
Omri honestly I don't know how this happens. I watched this video a few days ago, wondering who the heck is Olafur A., then I just got an email from Spitfire, went to the site and Olafur A. Stratus catches my eye and I WANT THIS NOW! Seeing Stratus work is as cool as Scalar 2 introducing the Performance presets. BTW have you seen and/or played with Torso Electronics T-1 Euclidean Sequencer hardware? Any chance of doing a 'Build it in VCV Rack' like you've done with Moog Subharmonicon and Mother 32? Please Omri?
Serendipity :) By the way, I have something about the T-1 here - th-cam.com/video/Q_Wf1uwfl_A/w-d-xo.html And there are builds of the Moog synths here :) th-cam.com/play/PLiECaNQx239vC6iwOhArQd-rDGx2UnS8w.html
@@OmriCohen-Music Amazing! You remembered you did something that mentioned the T-1 and you directed me directly to the video! I'm hoping your patch for the 'T-1" is on patchstorage, otherwise I'll need to sign up for your patreon to get the patch. Thanks for all you do Omri.
how do you stop and mute constant tone coming out from spreader to mixer and only play when press key on keyboard? since your L & R going there but there is no sound levels on your channel 1 FM-OP.
The patches don't appear to be available - something downloads but it is not recognized by VCV - which isn't usually a problem because I enjoy building the patches as I watch your videos. Helps me think it through a bit more. But this one... What do you have the FM module plugged into? As soon as I plug it into a mixer I get a tone and the OUT of the module is blinking rapidly yellow, which yours is obviously not doing here. So the rest of this patch is a non-starter because there's always a tone.
Hi, yeah, those are not patches but rather selections so you can load them into your patches. It under the file menu. About the fm module, you will have to activate the envelope for the level. That's the button next to the level knob. I hope it works for you.
Why do I get sounds of a toy from the start ? and the sound is constant, with using PC keyboard as a midi device. Like when I press some keys I get the 'tone' and it never stops
