The built in bitwig sampler has a "wavetable" mode that turns sample into a wavetable in similar fashion. You can also get good results using clouds with synchronous grains, although beads is even better.
Awesome! Thank you for the great tips @GeorgeLocke. I'll give these a try 😄
Another great video, thank you Rob! 👍 I've always wanted to give sampling a try! You make it look easier than it is! 😉
Thank you, @koma2000music! I highly recommend sampling. It is a lot of fun 😁. I bet you'll have a good time trying it.
@@yourpalrob I've tried, immediately, based on your video, with some sounds from VCV.. I will keep experimenting with some other samples! Thank you!
It's legit so cool watching your process like this. :)
Thank you, @The_Sock_ I'm glad you like it! ✌️😄 Experimenting with fun samples has always been my favorite thing to do.
thanks for making these videos!
No problem! 😁 so fun to experiment. Wouldn't be possible without modules from great creators *wink
Real tracker workflow vibes from the short sample technique + qwerty playing. Nice! (Now I just need to find someone who can blow tuned farts)
Lol! I'll start practicing. Call me in a week, I'll have that A right on 440.

Hell yeah, DnB on the opening! 🎉
🎧🎶 I've been listening to a lot of jungle recently. So good! I think I'm going to mess around with ethereal pads and try to make some!
I love what you're doing Rob. Although I think I've got too many modules in vcvrack already 😅
Thank you, @metasyntax42! Haha, I'm an addict. I've got every free module downloaded. 😂🎛️
hey bro, this is awesome! glitching, graining and growling is the future of techno!
Yo! @CrusaderGeneral! Hell yeah, this Groovebox is good for it.
Got that fart again ... man trying to set my CPU on fire.
Haha, I tried to sneak it in subtly this time.
Rob where do you post the bangers
Lol, all the bangers on cassette only.
Xg baby say the name so u can learn it
Such a good song haha
hello there and friendly greetings! Very interesting tutorial! I've learn a lot today, thank you so much!
Hey, The Great Assyr! Thank you! I'm glad you liked it 😁
Unclear why you've singled out this filter.
Just showing a filter that I like a lot. It doesn't take up much space and is nice and warm 😁
Nice vid as always, dude. And again, congrats on the 2k! 🎉 The modules I would add, that is beginner friendly, would be Glue by Stoermelder (a nifty Label Maker), uMap by Stoermelder (for when you want to modulate a parameter that does not have a CV input), and Null by Pachde (resizable and recolourable blank module).
Thank you @WailingRaven! Those are some great suggestions! Some of these I haven't used before. I'm going to have to try them out.
"unamerican way" lmao. Saturday morning, new Rob vid. Thanks man!
haha! Thank you, @samigumiran6174! Glad you liked it!
Nice
Thanks for all the great modules! 🤘😁
Hahaha! I love your bipolar hand animation! I don’t have any extra tips this time.
Haha! Thank you, @CatFish107! I was hoping that would give folks a laugh. 😂
Great stuff
Thank you, @willdhaggard! 😊
That drum machine tho. Send us the link to that patch
Okay 😁 I'll upload it.
Love these bitesize vids. Keep them coming.
Thanks @tabs1913 ✌️😁 I will.
Makes me wonder what would happen with 3 different fart samples being triggered Topograph. Could be a new genre called Fartcore.
Haha! Let's become the pioneers of this new genre. If not us, then who?
Your videos have always been great, but they are continually getting even better! Lol'd out the fart sample. Thanks Rob!
Thank you @collinstump9706! I've been having a lot of fun making videos. I made a spreadsheet similar to the one you mentioned in another comment and I've been using it a lot lol. Thanks for that suggestion! I showed it in The Beauty of Mathematics video and gave you a shout-out ✌️😁 if you haven't seen it yet. Thanks again!!
Hello there and friendly greetings! First of all: thank you for sharing your material for free. It's crazy and absolutely appreciable and praiseworthy! I want to share something, not much but maybe it could be useful for you or someone else, don't know. I've read your VCV Rack Cheat Sheet (finally someone made it...) and I was really interested in the cable management. I've been quite an anarchist about cable color code but I've managed to use SUBMARINE WM-101 that allows to use a virtually infinite number of colors. But I don't use an infinite number of colors: if, for istance, RED is the color code for audio information, I use different shades of RED to differentiate the audio from different modules or different module block. Also, if GREEN is for modulation, I use shades of green to differentiate regular modulation (like a regular LFO) from random modulation (like WIQUID modules). Ditto for the BLUE, regular clock/trigger/gates and shades of blue for random stuffs. And so on and so forth. This way I know at glance what do what, where and how. Yep, it's a little bit crazy at first but as per my experience it works like a charm once you get the hang of it. Also, if you use SUBMARINE WM-101 you can do a nice thing : ua-cam.com/video/_HiHmtv6oIM/v-deo.html (please keep in mind it was the very first time I was recording my voice, I was almost literally dying of cringe....) I hope I returned a little something of knowledge. Have a great week and thanks again!
Hey The Great Assyr! Thank you for the comment and for explaining your cable color coding technique. I like it a lot! I might start using it 😁. Your video is great. I never thought about removing the cables and then hitting Ctrl+z to automatically replace them in a new color. So slick. It would be super fast to shift+click the cable to delete it and then Ctrl+z. Thanks again for the information and for the kind words ✌️😊 and I'm glad you like the content so far. I'm working on an update to the VCV Rach Cheat Sheet which should be posted soon. I'm excited about it!
Thank you for the snappy, direct, and useful video. Subscribed.
Right on, @markfelps2269 I'm glad you like the content and thank you for checking it out! Many more videos to come. ✌️😁
Another great video, Rob. 😍
🫰
also, quick question, are there any differences in cpu consumption between the normal and mini that you know? ot is it purely aesthetic? my laptop would like to know lol
Great question! I pulled it up right now and it looks like the micro runs hotter, but it is super minimal. I would say there is a negligible difference. I do like how the little one looks. I prefer small modules. 😁 Thanks again, @robilotte11
been using topograph for a while and i always thought that the exterior clocking function was bugged, turns out i was not using the correct resolution (had no idea such thing even existed), thanks for the great tip
Glad this video helped! Check out what CatFish said in the comments about this too. I don't have much MIDI equipment but the fills with 24ppqn sounds interesting. I have to check it out.
My pal, you are an amazing individual and your videos have been such a valuable resource. Thank you~
No problem, @The_Sock_! I'm glad you enjoy the content and find it useful 😁
If you start mixing and matching with midi gear, that 24ppqn setting is what you're going to need. The higher resolution clocks give you some extra hits and pattern complexity per bar in the included rhythm maps. 4ppqn gets you the basic patterns, turning up clock resolution gets more details.
CatFish always coming in clutch with the advanced techniques! 😁 I wish I had more midi gear. I'll have to pick some up and try this out. This is a good excuse haha.
@@yourpalrob I stumble bubbled into the discovery, while attempting to clock the sequencer with an external midi clock signal. Kept having to crank the resolution to not have the sequencers way out of time. And upon further experimentation, I learned about the extras hidden between the 4ppqn drum hits inside the 8 and 24 ppqn resolutions. Mostly rapid fills on the snare and hihat channels.
@CatFish107 What midi controller do you have?
I added some more patches to the collection including ones from this video! 61 total patches now.
Sweet, definitely need a copy of that fart patch 😁
Lol! It's a complicated setup with many advanced techniques. 😁
@@yourpalrob I hope my machine can run it!
😂
Insanely helpful video, thank you so much. Your other contents also look very solid, definitely gonna check those out as well. KUTGW.
Thank you, @xat9259! I'm glad you found it useful and I appreciate the feedback :) I practice shredding with this synth build a lot lol.
Ok, but how do I do meth in vcv rack?
Haha! With so many free modules, there has to be one for that right?
This is insanely helpful and clear. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment, @burningpaper I'm glad it was useful to you 😁
I’m curious. What calculator are you using? It’s not one I’ve seen before.
Hey James! Thank you for the question. It is the stock calculator that comes with the Kubuntu flavor of Linux 😁
@@yourpalrob Thanks. It’s been a while since I checked out a GNU / Linux distribution. Looks good.
Nice explanation!
Thanks again, @TheVoltar100! 🤘😎
Nice vid! After going through the spreadsheet you missed the big punch line on inputting math to VCV Rack. If you're inputting a voltage and, say, want to go up a semitone in a 1 volt/octave input you can use "+1/12" in the text entry box. Or pick how many steps you want to go up or down and just have it do the math.
Dude!! You're so right. That is the slickest way to use the math input along with calculating pitches. Thank you for pointing that out! I totally missed it lol 😁
I can barely understand this, because I'm not one of _those_ Asians that has a calculator built inside of their heads. 🤣 Solid video as always, dude. It's quite interesting, seeing people do stuffs with those crazy microtonal stuffs.
Lol! Microtonal music is insane. I really enjoy it, but I have such a hard time making it. I'm much better at the "no wrong notes" mentality but I'm locked into 12EDO.
@@yourpalrob Hmm, I wonder how Jazz would sound like with 31EDO. 🤔 31EDO Giant Steps, the Dark Souls of Dark Souls of Jazz.
Haha, you would need a special instrument or the entire band playing trombones.
Type in note letter into osc tuning dial. Thats worth the price of admission! 🤜🤛
It's a great feature! It doesn't work on every oscillator, but all the ones I tried worked fine. 😁
I didn't know you could input expressions in the text fields.. pretty cool! 👍 Can you think of any use for that?
I haven't messed with it much, BUT! If it can take variables, then it could be powerful. You could put like (VCO1 + 300) or something to the tube of that and it would play 300Hz higher than your first VCO. That might be cool!
Awesome work as always bro
Yo CrusaderGeneral! Thanks dude. I appreciate it! 😁
Regarding primes for rhythm, that's a neat method I've not used. How I've used primes is via a clock divider. I have a master clock running at some rate equivalent to the fastest burst or drum fill I want, then divide that down to run sequencers / rhythm generators. I'll take, for instance, a /5 to the drums, and a /7 to the melodic sequencer. The pattern lengths aren't something I've fiddled with, but I sure will now.
Oh! That's a great technique! I'm going to use that lol.
