I love this sort of tutorial. It's really hard to figure out many of the use cases and functions of some of the more complex modules and tutorials like this are just really helpful in providing insights into how they can be used.
This tutorial was mindblowing! I had to view this video 3 separate times as a beginner to grasp certain aspects and then to play around with it. It's incredibly entertaining and exciting to see the immediate results whenever I do any adjustments to the patch. I can easily follow along with your video whenever I get lost, and learn a bunch of new stuff in the process. Thanks for the video! Looking forward to learning more
Oh, nice! I've been using the Rampage as a randomized, uncertain trigger, never knew it's this powerful and can do so much more. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial, like always!
@@OmriCohen-Music I’ve watched your “Generative Patching with Rampage” video at least a dozen times. I don’t have enough S&H modules (yet - I’m all hardware), to have a patch that large and complex, but you can bet I’m gonna try.
@@christopherwilliams375 I'm using the Voltage Block a lot with Rampage. I can run the sequencers randomly so it's like having S&H with 16 different values.
I imagine the camera pulling back, and your desk and chair are on another giant mushroom! Thanks for the clear and musical explanations! Rampage reminds me of the Serge DUSG so now that I am playing with Rack I was instantly drawn to that versatility.
So this module is Befaco's variation of a dual Serge VCS. I like the panel layout better than the famous module that so many of us (including me) own and PM for as a joke.
Yes. Rampage is Befaco’s version of DUSG. There are others too, like Make Noise Maths and Frap Tools Falistri. They’re all ‘basically’ the same, meaning they’re all dual envelope generators, but each have their own thing and way of doing things. Rampage has a comparator. Maths has a mixer. Falistri has a frequency divider, and four quadrant multiplier. It can also put out bipolar versions of its envelopes (LFOs). All 3 are really good. Just depends on what flavor you want.
i've gotta get that book you wrote. had no idea it was like 100 pages! most of these things i see are like ten pages of basic notes, not an in-depth study, it's now on the list of stuff i must have.
My dude pulling out the fretless bass. That was a nice texture and an intelligent way to use Rampage to integrate the two instruments. When do we get the 'Subotnick-style glossolalia into a microphone' patch example? Haha
Dear Omri, I am writing this before checking if there is a tutorial. If you have made one ignore my comment. I wanted to learn more about the new Sha#bang stochaustic grid sequencer. I was checking the module but it's very complex and interesting.
I assume that ANY trigger (not just a manual trigger) would work to get things started? Say some random trigger that has filtered down through various generative means and finally reached Rampage?
Yes, any trigger will work. I use the EOSG output of the Morphagene sometimes, complex waves through a comparator, or even a random sequence from the Voltage Block.
Hi Omri I just subscribed to your channel and I am thankful to have found your videos ..... can you show us how much modular gear you actually own now? ...... what would prompt you to buy a physical module instead of using the VCV rack equivalent for it ? ...... looking back on all the music you have done, do you use VCV rack more than your actual physical gear ? ..... if you have already made video addressing these questions, then please just drop link ...... I have modular gear also but it does not get used as often as it should, I am hoping to change that this year...... thanks so much
Hi! I'm glad you enjoy my work, thank you! Each year, at around May, I record a video about my hardware and such so I hope to make another one soon. Here is the last one - ua-cam.com/video/k_pFZDuzxnI/v-deo.html
Yesterday I bought some stuff in the module store. And I was thinking, looking at the Rampage: why not buy? With the 15% discount. But I didn't buy it. And suddenly Omri and this video ... 😭😭😭
@@OmriCohen-Music These weren't any modules. Only a few details for DIY: knobs, potentiometers etc. needed to build the output module. But in general, as a complete beginner, I think I already have too many modules, even though everything doesn't fill 104HP yet (although there's nothing like Rampage or Maths there, I underestimated them). I try to search for videos from the 3 modules challenge category and learn. Some people get incredible results here.
@@mpingo91 Yeah, that's a good idea taking things slowly. You're doing the right thing. I think that the 3 modules challenge can be so helpful for learning and diving deeper into the modules. Feelfree to share some sounds with me :)
thx for the video. 19:20 - interesting patch. how does the notes from bass guitar implemented in midi/cv and converts it to some certain notes (random in some scale?) what modules do that?
Thanks! The notes are not changing anything, it's the amplitude and using Rampage as an envelope follower\slope detector. The notes are coming from the Voltage Block and are indeed random, but quantized to a scale. I hope it makes sense...
@@OmriCohen-Music Everything exactly same except A is triggered by B rising gate instead of external trigger. B rising gate goes to both A trigger and A loop. I just tested, and it gives identical results, except I suppose the A is triggered one sample later. I imagine that normally is not an issue.
Omri.I have Maths from Make Noise and there is no Rise Gate out, only end of rise (like the FALLING Gate in Rampage) and on the other hand the EOC ... only one each ..(RAMPAGE is much further developed) but how to do the same "Burst Generator" on Maths? I tried to reverse the EOR "End of Rise" with Atenuverter but that doesn't work shit.. Thank you Omri for everything
@@OmriCohen-Music Okay. So then the cycle first requires a trigger, or it will not cycle. Weird. Not sure of the point for that decision. I know that neither Maths nor Falistri require a separate trigger to get it going. Send a gate to the cycle input and they will immediately cycle as long as the gate is high. Either way. Thanks for the info. Can’t wait to try this variable speed/length trigger burst patch.
@@christopherwilliams375 Yeah, Maths will work differently, that's true. I guess that it makes sense in hardware to have it cycle without any additional triggers so there's no need for more cables and mults.
I love this sort of tutorial. It's really hard to figure out many of the use cases and functions of some of the more complex modules and tutorials like this are just really helpful in providing insights into how they can be used.
Glad it was helpful!
I agree, and Omri is generally speaking a very good teacher! Thanks to him I have become a Rampage -disciple!
I didn’t really look at how long the video was when I started so I kept thinking “oh cool there’s one more idea!”
Great stuff here.
Glad you liked it!

i was going to look at envelope followers next anyways.. this will make it a lot easier :)

Amazingly good, this one!
Glad you like it!
Thanks for all of your tutorial ! I've learn a lot since I started watching your videos :)
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this. I just ran a couple of these examples on my hardware Rampage with Plaits (and O&C) and it worked a treat!
Oh, yes, this is so much fun in hardware :) Cheers!
Many thanks for great tutorial!
Cheers, Edin!
Great video. Rampage use of signal follower is new for me. Thanks. I will use these methods on my hardware Rampage as well.
Oh yes, it's so much fun!
Nice ideas. Thanks. I enjoy Rampage.)
Cheers!
Wonderful Thanks!
Cheers!
Great demo Omri. Rampage is a beast (and Maths) and it goes to show how brilliant the ideas of Serge was so long ago.
Yeah, it's like having access to the most basic of functions and building more complex environments out of combining them.
@@OmriCohen-Music Yeah, the spirit of modular that is.
Don’t forget Frap Tools Falistri!
10:20
nice drawing!
Great tutorial, thank you very much. Always fun to watch your videos.
I appreciate it, thank you!
Thank you for all your work, Omri! Useful information

Would the first patch work just as well if the function B rising gate were patched to the function A trigg?
What would cycle it but?

I just tested, and it gives identical results, except I suppose the A is triggered one sample later. I imagine that normally is not an issue.
Wait a minute... Noise Plethora in VCV Rack? When can I get that? It is one of the next hardware modules to buy on my list.
I can't find it in the library either.
I think Omri is using a pre-release but it should hit the library soon.
Yeah, it was submitted already but still didn't reach the library. You can find it here though, under assets - github.com/hemmer/Befaco/releases
@@OmriCohen-Music Sweet! Thank you.

no "Heyyyy guysss"???? i feel cheated!
(jk good vid bro)
If EG A is being controlled by Rising output of EG B, why does EG A also need that initial trigger?
Do you mean the Cycle of EG A?
@@OmriCohen-Music Yes.
@@christopherwilliams375 it will not start cycling until it's being triggered
