As I watch the video I realize that better than try to explain it to me you should do a video about "tracker" and the respective extensions because with the manual alone I won't be able to use it. Thanks again.
Hello ! Yes, a video to explain the Tracker is planned :) Indeed the set of modules can be confusing and, to be perfectly honest, there are bugs waiting to be pushed to the library that make them pretty unusable for now. The modules do not produce any sound. The Synth and Drum modules produce pitch / gate / velocity / etc signals. To create a small sequence, you should have a pattern (a default pattern is created at startup) and should be opened with pattern view (pattern view button is one of the 4 bottom-left view buttons). Then you should create a synth IN the Tracker module. To do so, you can simply click the + button on the side screen which lists the created synths. Once created and selected (with a simple click), you can then click on the main display (still in pattern view) and edit the pattern notes. To add notes, you can simply write on your keyboard (using the VCV midi module keyboard layout). You should then have a small sequence. To use it, you can add a T-Synth module, click on it small screen, select the previously created synth, patch its pitch and gate outputs to a VCO / ENV / etc. You should now be able to press the "play pattern" button (on of the 4 small buttons on the top-left of the Tracker). For now a bug makes that new notes do not have a default delay value of 0. To fix that, you can click on one of the small "eye" switch buttons on the bottom of the module (the view delay button) to see the notes delay value and edit them to 0.
@@gibbonjoyeux Thank you and for once I could see that the modules were not responding correctly. Sorry for the outburst but I don't read manuals and normally I solve it as a labyrinth but this method can be frustrating. Good luck with the bugs.
I didn't find the development thread on vcv community forum , it would be cool of there would be another output for gates so I could get long gates corresponding to the division time , I could probably find a workaround in rack but I'm lazy.
Thanks for the idea ! That would indeed be useful ! That could be done with an expander or as an option on context menu. I also thought about having CV output corresponding to the gate length. Don't know why but could be fun. I put it in my TODO list, thanks again :)
I played around this beautiful module. I started with ... and T-clock connected to Regex clock input as clock in the first row. This, i thought, as gate .The second row was a short sequence of cv for C/oct Nearly the same as your first examples. I connected this to XHOST module with VITAL as Synth. But i run into the problem, that there is only a trigger and no gate. Okay ADSR module but if my clock sequence is something like $1,4,12 and CV a,c,e,a,a$(g,f) that only works well with long release time, but sounds terrible imagine T*clock has the possibility of the PW control - that way it might be possible, in a future version, to calculate a PW gate as option output in the regex module.
Thanks for your comment ! Gates implies some additional delay (compared to trigger) between two gates which would mess connections between expressions. I'm thinking about building a small expander for both Regex and Regex-condensed to output gate and still keep triggers for expressions connections. I will try to work on it for the next 2.0.8 update (along with some new Regex features) !
@@gibbonjoyeux One other point: If i load a existing patch with Regex i have to enter each row and pressing Enter, then it starts playing. Is it possible to compile on Reset and/or by pressing Enter
@@ARTBODY1 You can press Ctrl + Enter to compile all the expressions. I also added in the next version an option (via context menu) to automatically compile all expressions when patch is opened :)
Could you describe how do I make the tracker play anything in simple steps ? From reading the manual I don't understand to what do I plug it, is the synth module supposed to emit sound or do you have to plug it to an oscillator still ? The programming process is so confusing that I don't know where to begin for as much as I try to write things into it I still can't get it to play anything and plugged to a scope I don't seem to get it to emit any voltage. This is very frustrating to have something that should be simple enough to operate and you can't even make it play a single note because is not clear to what do you connect or even if it's supposed to have a clock because it has no fuckin inputs nor outputs. Can you describe how do I make it play anything, five notes C,D,E,D,C and make it play the notes so that I can ear it ? It shouldn't be more than ten steps but if it's more than that it's ok as long as I can make it play something I can figure the rest out. Thanks
Amazing module! I love seeing live coding modules in VCV.
This is great! Highly musically relevant. Well done.
Love live coding modules like this, good stuff
🔥
I adore your modules!

Fascinating

Really interesting!
I'm going to try this sequencer...
Congratulations!
Thank you ! Have fun :)
fun sequencer great job
Thanks a lot !
