Your like The Bob Ross of modular synthesis. PBS should give you a spot Sunday morning on TV !! People would watch for years to come.
Great description! 👍
That would be so cool :) Cheers!
There is one massive difference, though: if you do what Omri does, you get a similar result (fron which you can then start your own explorations.) If you try to paint along with Bob Ross, the result will look like sh*t. :-)
I’d definitely watch it
yes
Man I love the "Oh yes, oh yes" parts! They are legend!
Cheers!
Just came here to comment that.
Same !! i can feel what he feels
I have learned so much in your videos. The first time I saw a VCV patch it looked so incredibly complicated, now I understand what many modules do. But there is still so much to discover. What I like most of all is that people like you not only show how it all works, but also show how to make beautiful music with it. Thank you Omri.
I'm happy you enjoy my work man, thanks!
Omri posts video, I get the notification, head to TH-cam, hit like and THEN actually watch the video. That's how consistent he is with quality!
I appreciate it!
ha indeed
this patch makes me want to spend my whole life on this program
It's fun!
I was thinking something like that too...
I just want to say that I've been fooling around with VCV for a few days as somebody who has always been interested in ambient/electronic music and I'm watching this video and my mind is getting blown with each successive choice you make. Thank you for making this
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much 🙂
Followed the tutorial, added a few things. Amazing!! Laughed every time you said “oh yeah”. Great tutorial, thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was trying to do this tutorial last night but omri getting excited while making ambient is just so asmr I shut my eyes for a second and woke up an hour later..!
I hope you dreamt of wires :)
In my head "oh yeah thats nice".
You: "ohhh yessss".
Instant sub.
Cheers!
@@OmriCohen-MusicYou're more than welcome, thanks for sharing your skills and tastes with us.
This is just... wow. Everything about these vids is amazing, your chilled out voice is perfect for this and the info is endless. Haven't been this inspired/motivated to learn something new in a long time 🥰
Wow, thank you so much!
Omri, that LFO on the sample to sound like tape blew my mind. When you started doing it I was foolishly thinking "I never got that LFO to sound even half decent" and then you made magic happen. Beautiful as always.
Oh nice, I'm happy you liked it :) Thanks!
Just getting into modular synthesis after procrastinating so much... These kind of tutorials are so helpful... subbed...
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing!!! Omri, i was here to learn but the sounds hypnotize me. Really beautiful and nice tutorial.
I appreciate it, thanks!
This video was such a breakthrough for me, Omri! I have been enamored with modular for years now but only recently have I begun to feel comfortable enough to enjoy and stick with it. Your basics course help me get to that point but the way you inspire with these "from scratch" videos is just another level of awesome and insightful. Thank you thank you thank you - you are such a gift to the world!!
Hey, that's amazing, thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoy my work and find it helpful :) Have fun!
Hi Omri. This is the first time for me posting a comment on any of your TH-cam presentations, although, as a recent newcomer to the whole expansive and immersive world of VCV Rack, I've been immensely enjoying (and benefiting from) them for many weeks now. I especially enjoy your "from scratch" tutorial style videos, because I'm finding that nothing me takes me deep into the realm of patching as well as these do - I can read books and UGs and the like, but they always leave me (being not especially technical-minded) in the dust. Your tutorials are much more relatable (and repeatable).
Anyways, aside from simply thanking and complimenting you on your channel, I wanted to offer up an idea for a potential future video, since you occasionally have ended other ones canvassing your viewers for ideas. I've been really intrigued by the Elektron Oktaktrak MK II for some time now, as sampling (and sequencing of samples) is something I find really intriguing. But Oktaktrak looks a bit daunting. And regardless, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to spring the >$2K CAD for a big chunk of hardware to sit on my desktop, especially since I'm really aiming for a total software-driven workflow. So my idea is this: Would it be possible to string together a bunch of different VCV Rack modules to emulate the Oktatrack? I don't expect a complete replica is within the realm of the possible, but a virtual rig that could get me 50% of the way there would be appealing. What do you think? Is that a challenge worth exploring? Danke und viel Gruesse aus Kanada, Frank Paul.
Thank you so much :) The Oktatrak is veeeery deep, and would be tough to build in VCV, but maybe the workflow can be reproduced. I will have to dig deeper...
Some really clever ideas here. Very inspiring as usual!
Glad you like it, thanks!
I'm so grateful for these vids. You're teaching me so much. I patched along the way again, following all of your patches and almost all of your knob settings. I ended up with something a lot different but really cool sounding, albeit not as clean or ambient as yours. I'd love for you to hear it.
I'm happy you enjoy it :) Feel free to send it to me here omri.musicohen@gmail.com
Cheers!
Thanks Omri. Awesome soundscape. Love it. Reminds me of the finale of Close to the Edge by Yes.
Oh nice, thanks!
Yes! I was getting strong Close to the Edge mood from this too.
Just wow. I think I had several false starts over the years with VCV rack, installing and then uninstalling after not being able to figure out how to get beyond basic patches. Your videos have unlocked so much knowledge. Thank you so much.
That's great, I'm happy you enjoy my work :) Have fun!
Very very nice and so inspiring to setup something based on your patch. It just creates inspiration. Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for this guide, 5 minutes into the tutorial and I'm already having a blast by experimenting.
Hope you enjoy it!
I made a slightly different patch with some extra tweaks and recorded 8-10 minutes randomly while playing with the knobs on my midi keyboard.
This resulted in a pretty great space ambient track, which I now listen to while doing work. Thank you again, I'm gonna check the rest of your channel because this one video kickstarted my imagination regarding modular synths. Cheers!
@@OmriCohen-Music
yeah, perfect to fight home office quarantaine depressions. thanks for the great tutorial!
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
Beautiful, as always! Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you so much!
Really like this type of video from scratch! Informative, useful and the result is super cool! Thank you Omri
Yeah, it was a fun one :) Thanks!
Glad we got another ambient patch from scratch! These are always so enjoyable to do. Really like the tape wobble effect.
Yeah, it was a fun one :)
This is exactly what I've been looking for. That Additive Vibration and Plateau combo was so nice!
Oh nice, thanks!
I think after watching this video you convinced me on trying VCV Rack
Let me know how it goes!
@@OmriCohen-Music will do!
@@OmriCohen-Music just wanted to say, I followed this tutorial and ended up with a nice ambient track of my own, different to yours of course. Still lot of stuff to learn, but is amazing how much I understood by only watching this. I'm excited because I just read that you can control hardware synths with VCV, I wanna try controlling my moog slim phatty and my minilogue. Btw, everybody recommends your videos in reddit :). so, THANKS!
Watching and listening from New Zealand, thinking "well I really need to get some sleep before work, but ...". Good on ya, mate.
Hey, mate, thanks so much! I traveled and worked in the south island back in 2006 and I loved it :) I hope to come and visit one day... Cheers!
Thank you so much. You are a very good teacher and the patch sounds amazing!
I appreciate it, thank you!
Great share OC!!!!!....a treat to se you r process my friend!!!!... jeff
Thank you so much!
Hey Omri ! Sorry i missed the premiere, will watch it now :D Love this type of video ! your first one, Generative patch from scratch, it's the one that got me into VCV !
So cool :) Thanks man!
This is so nice and calm, its nice to have inspiration for the modular jams im making for my album 💙💜
I appreciate it!
This is so beautiful, just started out with the Rack, learned so much from your videos, Big Ups to you man!
Thanks so much!
Wow, that's so magic :-), thanks Omri!
Glad you like it!
huge fan of these videos omri. mch love and support from germany/munich
Thanks so much!
One of your best ... I really get addicted to the magic of your patches whiach are indeed MUSIC!
i appreciate it, thank you!
Holy shit! That's incredibly cool!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The moment you raise the operator 2 in the Dexter , I got a taste of heaven. Very very nice! Oh AND , when you reverse the sample , it gives a sound of a string orchestra , so cool!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for a fantastic tutorial and the spare channel to play with at the end. Down the rabbit hole we go :) 5 stars mate
Glad you enjoyed it
I subscribed mainly because of the happy sounds you make on every new added module. Definitely want to learn this too.
It's fun :)
Omg you are Love @OMRI COHEN ❤️
Cheers :)
i could watch you make this forever...
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice video! What a pity I missed the premier of it. I always enjoy your patch ideas.
No worries Martin :)
this is the first tutorial video I saw from you and I got that feeling that we will be meeting a lot through this life
thanks a lot for these videos, I'm a completely noob in modular and you are a very good teacher
I really appreciate it, thanks so much!
these videos are really awesome, more please!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing, your vídeos have helped me to introduce modular into my tracks and productions. Much love from Brasil.
Hey, that's great! Thanks so much!
its so funny you saying "ohh yeah" every time it gets good
The reverse sample is a really nice touch, thanks
Yeah, it was fun :) Thanks!
"Hey GUYZE!"
I feel my fly opening already. 😂
Awesome as ever - so simple when it's explained so clearly. The best bit - every so often there's a sweeping chord sequence that sounds like Elgar :-D
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)
this is like the most useful video I've ever watched
I appreciate it, thank you!
That's lovely Omri, great techniques!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing! As usually :) thanks millions! It's crazy, my curve of evolution is getting healthy now :)
Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
easy n brilliant patch ... it made me calm ... thanx :)
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Very nice patch, can listen for hours to your birds ;-)
Cheers!
thank *YOU* so much. i will try this out tonight.
Let me know how it goes :)
@@OmriCohen-Music will do =)
@@OmriCohen-Music i finished it over lunch except for the birds. =) i'm a bit speechless in a good way. maybe too many good words. simply AMAZING. the whole lesson and ALL the software and i didn't have to spend a penny so i'll have to buy you coffee. i might have to start a channel to share with you what you taught me. =)
@@jamessusbilla Oh, that's great, thanks so much! And yes, I would love to hear your work :)
The Bog Audio modules are immense
This is great creative work, and I learned much about patching technics, thank you!
I'm happy you liked it!
i love this so much
so very much
Thank you!
Some people have no idea. some of us have a fairly good idea. You know exactly. Sheesh! Nice bro! ;)
I appreciate it!
ive learned so much in this video! this really will bring a lot to the table for me!
I appreciate it!
great patch... thanks...
Thank you!
Thank You Sir! Sounds very niceee!
Thanks!
Fantastic!!! Birds and all!
Thanks so much!
I'm not sure, but I think the idea may have come from another YT channel. The challenge on that channel (taken from some modular synthesis forum or other) is that you start with a standard mixer and audio out - some stretch the rules a bit by using a reverb with the mixer but some argue "that's cheating". It goes against the literal terms of the challenge, but some people just can't help but include it! If you do use reverb, it can NOT be used for anything but the final, overall audio output - you can not use the reverb to patch in as a CV, modulator, or delayed trigger or gate to any of the three modules. At that point you use the VCV web sight "random" search feature to select two modules. You can re-roll if the random module is a visual (like an oscilloscope for instance) or blank module, but other than that exception you MUST use what ever the search gives you in some fashion. For the third module you can select any one module from the entire list and it can be as complex or simple a module as you wish. That's it! That's all you get to use. You can only use one iteration of each of the three modules but you can patch them any way you choose. Like poker, you can get dealt two really bad modules from the random search, and whether or not the patch is any good or not all depends on your third choice. It's not a speed challenge, and there is no limitation on the *type* of patch, ie; rhythm, melodic, drone, etc. Sometimes you have to really think about your third choice because it's "final"; you can't throw it out and go back to make another third selection.
Ty for these Videos im new to Modular Synths and im learning a lot here. Made my first patch today that actually sounds like music and not just random bleep bloops. Im Subscribing!
Oh, that's great, thanks!
Awesome music
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this.
Glad you liked it :)
Another great one as always Omri! This was a fun one to follow along with. I spotted that /32 clock and connected it to trigger re-burst early. ;)
Oh nice :) Cheers!
@@OmriCohen-Music I'm inside your head.. and I like it here! Also, the birds are a really nice touch!!
Yeah, birds are a must :)
04:00 wow it gets sooo beautiful after this
edit\ damn this is absolutely breathtaking 11:30. I discovered vcv rack and your channel just a few days ago and im truly impressed
Thank you so much!
Very nice indeed!!! So many great ideas, and you always sprinkle in some extra tips, getting me interested in more. I watch one of your videos and I want to watch 3 more; the list is ever growing... really well done! I guess I'll have to join you on Patreon some day, pay my dues :) Thank you so much for your amazing videos!
Hey man, I appreciate it, thank you :)
@@OmriCohen-Music Thank YOU! :) I think I'll go and record some birds sing now :)
That's so much fun :)
Yeah man!! I just started recording some sounds (mainly guitar) into the Complex Simpler and feed it through Clouds. I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm getting some really cool sounds. I already see I'm gonna have a lot of fun with recording and sampling! :)
Man, this is awesome!
Thank you!
wow - again... gorgeous textures...(!) Cheers. :)
Thanks!
Modular is difficult but interesting as well.
VCV Rack and you dealing with it, emphasizes the INTERESTING part .. hahaha
Subbed.
I appreciate it, thank you!
@@OmriCohen-Music Whats your review of VCV Rack ?
@@SidJ8300 VCV is life...
@@OmriCohen-Music Are the free modules good ?
I ask because I can sense there are paid ones as well.
@@SidJ8300 There are so many free modules, it's hard to answer that. Some are amazing, some less.

nice!
Thank you!
In the VCV v2 version uploaded to Patchstorage, the right channel gets blown out. I have no idea how to fix it, but I'm about to start the tutorial and try. I'm guessing it's something in the complexSimpler Sampler.
I'm not so sure... I don't get this behavior. Did you have to load the samples yourself or were they already loaded? Maybe try loading them one by one.
This one is FUN, thank you Omri! This is just the intermediate-ish level VCV Rack tutorial I was looking for. You are a very inspiring and kind-hearted teacher.... I am at 9:40 and having an issue tracking down Re-burst, though. Rapelzen doesn't even show up in the brand column in the online VCV Library. I had to google Repelzen and a link came up to their modules *in* VCV Library though, which was odd... I clicked +ADD hoping for the best, but it didn't show up in my VCV Rack... oh well, it's getting late and I need to take a break from the excitement anyway :P but if anyone has any suggestions how I might track down Re-burst, I'd owe ya one! Thanx :)
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) About ReBurst, you can use thye Burst generator from Count Modula together with a random source to get these random bursts of notes. I updated the patch on Patch Storage so you can download it and see exactly how to patch it :)
@@OmriCohen-Music Awesome thanks again!
@@OmriCohen-Music sorry, I'm not sure where Patch Storage is
@@themusiccompass2815 no worries, here's the link patchstorage.com/https-youtu-be-z9bzvdy2yna/
@@OmriCohen-Music Ha my Reburst finally showed up. don't know what was up with that... in any case, I just finished this video and the only thing I wasn't able to do now was the very last bit with the μMap, can't track that one down anywhere either. In fact, Stoermelder doesn't even show up in the VCV Library Brand column... Oh well, no worries here... I learned SO much from this one, thanks again. Look forward to checking out more of these for sure!
Very nice! I have a small question tho. The modules that you used for this video are free?
Thanks! And yes, all the modules I used a free :)
@@OmriCohen-Music nice! Thank you, I can’t wait to try it out!
Hi Omri Any Suggestions Please ? I Cant Seem To Locate The Additive Vibration Module From Lifeform Modular its in vcv rack but I cant seem to grab it.......
Hi Omri I Have Subscribed to There Stuff its Just Not Appearing In My Plugins
@@nickrobins3121 Is VCV connected to your account? Did you update the plugins in VCV? Did you restart VCV after installing them?
Hi Omri Yep And yep
Ok Omri As Always many Thanks Dont Suppose theres a alternative to this module I can use to complete this lovely patch Best Regards and Thanks
@@nickrobins3121 Well, yes, totally, you can use something like Plaits, for example, or even a simple VCO, VCF, VCA, ADSR combo. Try experimenting with different oscillators, you might find something you like.
I absolutely love your videos, sir! I just recently started learning VCV Rack. This is just the type of stuff I'd like to create. I have one question about the uMap module. When you add it, I don't quite understand how it's automatically connected to one of the channels of the mixer, or the bird sounds. Additionally, not that I have anything at all against sampling, I think those bird sounds are quite nice. You got an "oh yeah" from me. But I'm wondering if you have tips for creating bird sounds (or other nature sounds) within VCV Rack. Thank you so much for doing what you do! Happy new year as well!
I appreciate it, thank you! About the uMAP module, it's working more or less the same as Midi mapping. It's possible to map a parameter without connecting any cables, and by sending CV to uMAP, control this parameter with voltage. Does this make sense?
About the birds, ratcheting and sine waves are your friends. Also, pitch modulation with some glide can be interesting.
Cheers and happy new year!
@@OmriCohen-Music Thank you so much for your reply! I will explore all of these things you mentioned. This is all quite fascinating, especially coming from the world of rock and jazz. Warm greetings from Minnesota, USA ☮️🍄
@@KyleGrayYoung Have fun and let me know how it goes :) Cheers!
Great. Btw how much time it took you to learn about all these modules?
Thanks! Well, I've been using VCV for about 3 years now...
Hola!! Gracias por el trabajo..
Es posible descargar este sonido en un enlace??
Hi! The samples I used are available in the link, yes :)
Son gratis o de pago?? Intento encontrar el link,pero no entiendo mucho inglés y no encuentro el link correcto.....pero muchas gracias.
What does the Bassmaster do? I read the short description of the module but I don't really understand what it does
Well, it will take the stereo signal and will split it into two bands according to the frequency you set so let's say you set 500Hz, you will have once everything above 500Hz and once everything below 500Hz. Then, you can set the level for each band independent from one another, and also the stereo spread. I use it usually to reduce the stereo spread of the bass frequencies, but you can use it in all sorts of ways of course.
So frustrating. I cannot find that Additive Vibrations module anywhere on the VCV library site. Help?
after some digging I realize some modules are not compatible with VCV 2.0
Yeah, it will take a few more days until all of the modules will be available :)
One question - did you forget to attach the output of µMap to something at the very end to actually modulate the birds?
I answered my own question. Mapping is sorcery. On µMap, when you press the button it turns red, then the next thing you press gets mapped to it without wires. 😳 Amazing!
Yeah, this is really like black magic... But it's super helpful when you want to control something that has no CV inputs.
Hi Thank you so much for these videos they are so so helpful. Is there a way to get my mouse so that when I hover over a button it will give me that little grey info bar?
Nevermind I just found it.. Parameter tooltips in the menu.
Cheers!
I'm just getting into this and this sounds great! I'm trying to replicate it on my VCV, but I can't find µMap and Re-Burst on the VCV Library. Any alternatives I could use? Thank you!
Hi! I hope Sroermelder will get updated soon but for now, have a look here - github.com/stoermelder/vcvrack-packone/releases/tag/Nightly
About ReBurst, there's the Burst Generator from Count Modula you can use.
Cheers!
@@OmriCohen-Music awesome! Very much appreciated!
@@theycallmegodkid did you manage to get burst gerenator working? im trying now but only getting 1 note value from it
@@electric_bimma it's been a minute since I played with it. Maybe you can loop the bust generator back to your note generator. I forgot the name of it. 😅
Me as a noob halfway through the video: STTAAHP
This is awesome!! Though I tried reproducing something similar to the 1:55 and I'm getting a dissonant sound. How do you get that nice clean sound?
Thanks! Do you mean dissonant as in notes clashing? Did you use a quantizer?
@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks for the reply Omri! I'm not sure how to describe it, but as I increase the volume, I start to hear (if I'm describing it correctly) an oversaturated sound. I did use a quantizer. The effect appears to be more pronounce when I just have a sine wave coming out of the oscillator. When I add more harmonics, the effect is much less.
