*** In the example with the CXOR module, I totally missed the link option between the channels, so there’s no need to connect the upper channel to the lower one. You can just click the button and link them. ***
Quick question about the unison module - would this work on hardware oscillators as well if I used a DC coupled input to get the signal into VCV Rack? Please tell me I can take the output from the oscillators on my DFAM and Moter-32 and multiply them like this into a gigantic wall of sound!
@@Darwinist The issue is that for Unison to work, the VCO has to be polyphonic, so it will not work with hardware VCOs. But there are other things you can do like using a chorus (the one from Flag or, of course, the SurgeXT one), or build your own chorus with two delays like the VCV delay.
@@OmriCohen-Music @OmriCohen-Music Thank you, I expected as much once I thought about it a little bit more. I need to experiment with chorus more, it's not an effect I reach for all that much.
These modules are really becoming my go to modules. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing and full of clever time saving features, they sound great too. Brilliant
The Surge XT project is a perfect example of open source development that created VCV Rack in the first place . Vember Audio which created the ‘surge’ gave it to the open source development community and also gave ‘short circuit’ sampler which is currently in alpha. Omri, I originally fell in love with vcv when Mutable Instruments was added in, and Nimbus may be the first MI ‘clone’ that I am truly excited for! Cheers
This is so timely, it seems like superunison is popping up everywhere now; my Arturia MiniFreak just got a superunison effect in its firmware update to v. 2. Dark Energy with unison sounds truly incredible, I'm going to have so much fun with these
The new update on the Ring mods looks to give the Energy/ Dark Energy Pair some friends in that tonal space... I have not tried this yet as I am getting ready for NAMM, but the Ringmodulator/ CxOR with FmOP seems to be a promising combo (more options at the cost of more modules/ CPU).
I really wish the "top" settings (the ones on the display) could be modified by the mod ports, especially in things with the Wavetable oscillator - kind of like the Model CV in some mutable instruments modules.
Love me some Surge, both as a vst and in it's VCV incarnation. I'll have to see if you can set up the unison mode so that it key scales. That can lead some interesting effects where you have more or less unison based on keyboard position. I haven't trred it out yet, but from what I remember Surge VST can load Serum formatted wavetables. That would be great if this functionality applies to VCV also, since I have thousands of wavetables that I've either collected or created myself. Combining VCV with awesome wavetable capabilities of Zebralette, when that drops soon, would be next level in terms of sound design.
14:21 so the layout might be missing some like connecting lines or something but the two dropdown menus only affect the main distortion, the knob on the left. the dull code is only affected by its knob
Well, it utilizes polyphony, so I doubt if there's something like this in hardware. There are dedicated VCOs with unison, though, like Cruinn from Instruo
@coln1000 I'm hoping so. I love when my favorite brands get a phat update. EDIT: is vcv rack worth the 200 dollar price point? Cardinal basically does all the same stuff. Just doesn't have some of the modules vcv rack has.
The update was a couple of weeks ago - if you have at least version 2.2.2 you will get these modules. If you have 2.2.2 and don’t have the modules it is probably the whitelist rack thing. Go to the library remove surge and then subscribe to the entire plugin rather than adding the modules.

Surge XT is a beast, thanks for sharing...
It sure is!

Thanks as always! Great video! I should add that plus glyph for extended detune to the vco also! Appreciate all your support
Thanks so much!
Unison voices FOR DAYS!! Wow, what a feature! Also, that Plateau -> Bonsai is glorious indeed. Thanks for the great demo video and beautiful sounds!
Thanks so much!
The SurgeXT collection has taken my patches to a whole new level, this makes it even more awesome. Thank you for explaining the new modules!
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing overview over great modules, great music too. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
You, sir, never cease to amaze. BTW the new album is awesome!
Wow, thanks!
That was nice. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Hope you have a great 2024 :-)
Thanks, you too!
Mind officially blown. Thanks Omri once again.
Glad you enjoyed it
Incredibly musical. Got the inspiration juices flowing. Thanks Omri!
Thanks!
love the surge series - awesome stuff sir
WoW! What a great addon to the already great collection. Thanks for your video and all the nice examples. :)
Thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing
amazing stuff!

Love those SurgeXT modules. SuperCell just got replaced.
We are hoping that surge 2.3 later this year will add the super parasites firmware to nimbus - started the dev work already. Stay tuned

You can indeed load wavetables in the VCV version :)

also the noise is volume dependent, the sensitivity offsets this, and the gain adjusts the output of that
16:00 I am definitely taking off in my No Man's Sky spaceship and zipping through asteroids. Absolutely love it - massive txtures!
Thanks so much!
U-He is gonna release some VCV modules...
what up ombre. do u know is there anything in vcv that is similar to the IO flux module?
I will have a look
Is there a hardware module similar to Unison?
Well, it utilizes polyphony, so I doubt if there's something like this in hardware. There are dedicated VCOs with unison, though, like Cruinn from Instruo
Does that mean cardinals surge modules got an update as well?
I just checked, no updates since this past fall. I imagine these would be in the next update?
@coln1000 I'm hoping so. I love when my favorite brands get a phat update. EDIT: is vcv rack worth the 200 dollar price point? Cardinal basically does all the same stuff. Just doesn't have some of the modules vcv rack has.
@@JethroDAvis024 VCVrack is free for the standalone version, but you probably know that
I this a paid thing? It not showing up as an update?
No, it's free...

@@baconpaul5772 Thank you!
Yep thanks, done. Very happy. Cheers mate@@baconpaul5772
Cheers man got it. Forgot to add it in the library. 🙄@@OmriCohen-Music
Bruh! 😮 🥰👊😏🫶 at one point i got transported😁😂😜 So Awesome! Thank you as always!
