I hope you enjoyed this video :) Here are a few helpful links: Noise Plethora at Thomann - thmn.to/thoprod/530374?partne... Here are the patches from the video - patchstorage.com/noise-pletho... More Befaco videos - th-cam.com/users/playlist?list... Squonk tutorial - th-cam.com/video/17aTfRgfBu8/w-d-xo.html Here you can get the Teleport modules - library.vcvrack.com/LittleUtils Here is the Befaco collection for VCV - library.vcvrack.com/Befaco Befaco website - www.befaco.org/
Outstanding examples, especially the resonator one. Just a heads up for people trying these patches in the future - in Befaco version 2.1.0 (used here) the Grit Quantity knob is backwards relative to the hardware. The newest update (version 2.1.1, due in the library any day now) fixes this, so now turning the knob to the right (or increasing voltage) increases grit. Just in case it doesn't sound exactly like in the video. Thanks to Omri for the bug report (you can blame him :P) !
I just discovered your channel recently and I must say this is my new favorite channels for modular synthesis exploration and education. You definitely deserve more recognition. I really appreciate the VCV examples and explanation as well as the following hardware demonstration of those examples. Noise Plethora and Rampage are both modules I think I can get a lot of mileage out of and will very possibly be my next purchases. Thanks for all that you're doing and contributing to the community! 🤘
This is my favorite Omri-Cohen-video in 2022.I'm working on a patch for a while, that only produces (generative) "noisy" sound-textures. There will be no classic "voice"-type, usable for playing melodies, drones or anything else that sounds like "music" in the common sense. I'm looking for a "bath" in unpredictable, ever changing textures. This video inspired me to redo those "sounds" that currently do not sound like I want them to sound. I found out, how I can get some of my wanted results in a much simpler way. I always want to keep things simple and clear and minimize the amount of modules in a patch. Modular is no daw. This video helped me a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about "noise", Mr. Cohen. Peace.
Just got my Noise Plethora in hardware and it is a DREAM. Actually unbelievable how much they packed in. THREE analog resonant multimode filters? LOOOOOOOOL yet it's still totally ergonomic and intuitive, even EASY to use immediately. Like, right out of the box immediate. and that's not even discussing the noise sources themselves, which are AWESOME instantly became one of the coolest modules in my rack it is physically gorgeous, too. just a winner, period
I sort of always knew of karplus and some noise etc.. but as someone who is into big drone-y pads and textures.. this noise through resonator has opened a new world!
I learnt in my education, noise are impulses, endless in amplitude and endless short in time over the whole freq spectrum. I believe all sounds come out of noise, you carve them out of noise. Your video goes the opposite way, you bring back a carved out sound back to its origin, to noise. By the way, add some noise to an audio signal gives more grip for a filter or EQ. I think it was in Kontakt, the clean pure Kontakt version 1 I think, years back, There you could use noise to trigger midi notes, this was very interesting on a drum kit bank, for example. Gauss sequencer... Thanks for your vids, inspiring as always.
One of my favorite tricks is to use an envelope follower into a delay’s delay time cv input. It doesn’t work in every case with the source audio, but I’m definitely going to try mixing it with noise
Man these are great ideas and sweet examples! That first hardware example is fire.. I watched this a couple of times already and decided to drop a Noise Plethora into the rack. Really excited to go through it again with the hardware right now, it is going to be a good day :)
I’m loving this man! Fabulous textures and I can’t wait to employ these ideas in my regular jams I have with a fellow synth geek… Cheers Omri, peace ✌️
Hi Omri, wow this is super fantastic awesome and exactly I was searching. Thanks a lot. You said all module are freely available? Best Regards Tim Susa
Great stuff. Haven't dived in to envelope followers yet. Thanks kindly as always for your great insights and ideas. Also: funny: I use the Teleporters the same way -- mixer inputs, clocks. Good solution to keeping things clean.
Hey can I ask a follow up question? In that first example when you say you are mixing sto and mimeophon with morphagene to use the envelope follower are you just running one voice to the left channel and one to the right? Or is there other audio copy too? I really like the sound of this. Thanks!
Great presentation, as always. Just thought I would mention Hexinverter's VCNO, an analog noise oscillator with adjustable pitch and multiple outputs (including quasi-random clocked gates) for much of the same as Noise Plethora in 6hp.
Nice! Great ideas as always. I've got a guitar patch on the go using Hora Millennial, sending it random quantised pitch CV, so you get kind of arpeggios over the guitar sound when you play. Haven't seen anyone else use it yet but it's a cool module. Need to get it finished, I have no idea how you produce videos every few days. I manage one a month if I'm lucky 🤣
Frozen Wasteland has my favorite Karplus-Strong module: String Theory. I'll bet feeding various noises into Hair Pick would be fun too. And also Portland Weather. And OMG I wish I had more time to explore VCV rack....
Great video. To add to your list of coincidental Envelope Followers available in hardware. Surprisingly, Morphagene has an amazing Envelope follower. Of course there are cheaper, more purpose built ones like WMD time Warp or Mutable Instruments ears, but I swear, Morphagene is the best one I have found
Having grown up in the age where our automobiles and most of our homes only had A.M. radios, the impinging of noise onto the audio signal was undesirable and a weakness of A.M. radio. Tune just slightly off center frequency and the noise interference that A.M receivers can not tune out, would follow the total volume "envelope", giving the audio a granular or "raspy" sound. Tune far enough off center, or even down one harmonic (a radio station broadcasting at 1600Khz under certain conditions could be heard faintly at 800Khz - referred to as an harmonic side band) and all you would hear is white noise being volume modulated by the total volume of the signal, exactly as heard at 1:20. Some of the sounds are interesting but I can't help but cringe a bit over the ones that remind me of these "dirty" radio signals.

Sorry :) No, but really, thank you so much for all the work you do!
This is just great. Getting to this a year late, but I recently built a Percall, and I'm thinking of adding the Noise Plethora.
Thanks! It's a lovely module!

Thank you so much!
Using noise as modulation for filters is incredible… never thought about that ! Thanks!!
Cheers!
The "gritty outputs" patch was lovely, kind of an elegant patch for its simplicity.
I love this output!

Hey, that's great! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Let me know how it goes and feel free to share it with us here!
another excellent explanation and demo...ty Omri
Glad you liked it!

I can't agree more :)
Great patch ideas, thank you Omri.

Omri rulez as always, nice and inspiring! Thanks, Man!
I appreciate that!
I sort of always knew of karplus and some noise etc.. but as someone who is into big drone-y pads and textures.. this noise through resonator has opened a new world!
Have fun!
so many good ideas and techniques in a mere 30 minutes. Thanks a bunch, as always
Hey, man, thanks!
Very cool, thanks. Love the examples where you’re playing the bass 👍
Cheers!

Yeah, noise is an amazing building block. I think noise got a bad reputation as something unpleasing but it can be quite beautiful at times.
this sounds so greaaaat,thxx Omri!
Cheers!
Nice ideas. Thanks Omri

@@OmriCohen-Music It is fantastic, coolest addition in quite a while!
Excellent video again! Thanks a lot! ❤

Thanks so much :)
Thank you, fantastic examples and inspiration with noice. You’re a true source of inspiration
Thanks so much :)
Great content! I learned so much through your videos.
Thanks so much!
great video.. noise in Rings is a good and new idea for me.. noise to cv filter new too.. Thanks.
Thanks!
Hi Omri, wow this is super fantastic awesome and exactly I was searching. Thanks a lot. You said all module are freely available? Best Regards Tim Susa
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, all are available for free 🙂
Great stuff. Haven't dived in to envelope followers yet. Thanks kindly as always for your great insights and ideas. Also: funny: I use the Teleporters the same way -- mixer inputs, clocks. Good solution to keeping things clean.
Glad it was helpful! And the teleport modules are so useful... Cheers!
Hey can I ask a follow up question? In that first example when you say you are mixing sto and mimeophon with morphagene to use the envelope follower are you just running one voice to the left channel and one to the right? Or is there other audio copy too? I really like the sound of this. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure I had a copy of both voices mixed with Quadratt, and then from there to Morphagene as a mono signal.
@@OmriCohen-Music Okay cool thanks! Wanted to play with that idea a bit.
Great presentation, as always. Just thought I would mention Hexinverter's VCNO, an analog noise oscillator with adjustable pitch and multiple outputs (including quasi-random clocked gates) for much of the same as Noise Plethora in 6hp.
Oh nice, I will have a look :)

Yeah, that's what I use in the hardware example. Morphagene is a gift that keeps on giving!
At 25:00 I wonder how that envelope would sound if you put the noise through percall before adding it to the envelope?
Thanks
Thanks so much :)
Damn great. Nothing more to say!
Cheers!

I have to say, this module made really fall in love with noise and noisy textures... Maybe I should try and sample AM radio signals...

Proper
when it will be availlable?
The video or the module? The video will be up in a couple of hours and the module is already in the library 🙂
@@OmriCohen-Music sorry it dont tell me^^ but its ok^^
@@OmriCohen-Music i didn't see^^ and i have just try some second and how you can use that?^^ its weird^^
