Modular Guitar Effects #16 - Nimbus Granular Delay + Filter Ping

This patch uses the Surge XT Nimbus module (a clone of the infamous Mutable Instruments Eurorack module called Clouds) with polyphonic processing, where a signal is copied onto 16 channels and processed by a separate instance on each channel. The keyboard sound is actually the Surge XT filter being excited by a short burst of noise in comb filter mode. This is basically a resonator, similar to how the Rings module works, also by Mutable Istruments. In other words, this is yet another 'Rings into Clouds' video, that old cliché in the world of ambient modular.

I have a question coming from my fantasy. The fantasy of a beginner which might be important to mention😅 I want to have a kind of generative but still controllable (melodywise) patch and use the midi coming out of it to trigger a guitar in my daw. The sound of it should be like in the beautiful song of Juan Martin‘s „Evocation - De Damasco a Cordoba“. Different note length and velocity, the snapping sound of the strings and the gliding pitch to the next note on some of the notes. Do you think that is possible to mimic? Thank you in advance if you read this🙏🏻

@@manmadeartists you can do that, but it won't sound like a well played classical guitar. I hadn't heard of Juan Martin so I had a listen to that piece and it's fairly complex. Generative techniques don't usually produce melodies or structures like a human composition, it's usually too random. The best thing to do is experiment, you can send MIDI from the VCV plugin if you have the Pro version (or use Cardinal, which is free but has fewer modules). Try using one of the 'Turing machine' modules, which produce random sequences but can be locked so you have some repetition. You can control the amount of randomness and maybe find something you like. Hope that helps.

@@VirtualModular thank you very much for your opinion, expertise and time you took for a helping answer 🙏🏻 at least it sounds as I have a lot to experiment with🤩
