love how into it you are
the little "oh yes"'s bring this tutorial to life
Cheers!
oh yea
Your catch phrase says it oh. “Oh ya.”
"VERY nice..."
“Oh, yes.” 😫
It's just ridiculous how much is possible with VCV Rack... I've watched your beginners series and that was really helpful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Yeah, VCV is great! Thanks so much :)
The process was amazing, but the most mind blowing thing was finding out you can hold command to push modules when moving one. This could have saved me so much frustration in the past!
That'll hopefully get some more attention in v2.0, it's really not well-known or obvious. I learned it pretty early thanks to Omri but can see people going a long time without.
I thought to make once a video about shortcuts, but there are not so many hidden ones so it will be a very short video...
thank you man!
Wow I learnt this movement from this comment. I saw Omri doing it but I didn't know how. Thanks.
@@OmriCohen-Music I wish Stoermelder and Blamsoft modules would make a comeback in VCV Rack 2... but at the moment they aren't in library. :( Is there any module we can use in the meantime to emulate uMap for example?
I've just spent an hour playing with the dials in that patch.
What is this absolute alchemy?
Thank you so much!
What started as a you tube search for VCV brought me here and I'm not sure if I'm blown away more with it or what you created here.
That's amazing, thank you!
wow, this sounds really good, you need to do more of this stuff man!
It was fun so there's a chance I will go back to this :)
Lovely. I remember worrying when you had like 500 subs that your work will go unnoticed but here we are at 16,100. It's an amazing journey. Learned so much since then.
I appreciate it, thank you!
Man this video, I would say... tutorial... I would say COMPLETE COURSE was IN_CRE_DI_BLE...! I learnt so much and discovered the real power of this VCV Rack software. Thanks and cheers from Madrid.
UNTZ!! So many great tips in here! The Euclidean bass groove against the kick was slapping... THEN rests to the high hat!? Fire.
Yeah, I was really happy with the result :) Cheers!
Just love this ! I am finding myself saying Oh yess all the time now LOL - but really... great stuff! So glad I found your channel. Completely following along and creating this patch is helping me understand the power of VCV Rack. I finally bought the Pro version too after watching your video on the room reverb. Just wow. Anyone wanting to learn how to use VCV Rack to explore and experiment with sound I highly recommend all of your videos ♥
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
@@OmriCohen-Music Thank you, again, you have completely opened my eyes and ears to new possibilities as an artist.
Learned a lot from this tutorial, thank you!!
Cheers!
thank you so much for this, I was struggling to find my inspiration for making music after being stuck with the same processes I was used to for years. this opens up a whole new world for me. I feel like in the beginning when I fell in love with this whole thing. you are a life saver ❤
That's amazing! Thanks so much :)
More like these please ! Amazing patch Omri! Sounds dope!
Hey, thanks!
Finally catching up on some tutorials, been wanting to do this one for a bit now. Patch from scratch is always amazing fun education but man this one was really cool to do :) Sounds great and it's cool hearing different styles from you and seeing how you approach them.
This was such a fun project :) VCV is so nice for experimenting with different genres.
Nice one Omri!! So much power packed into so little modules, this is awesome
Thanks so much!
Omri, your teachings have been so instrumental in helping me get my bearings in modular synthesis.. I'm actually considering buying hardware myself thanks to you and your videos. Much appreciated for sharing your insights!
I really appreciate it, thanks so much!
As soon as that last sound was added it all came together. EPIC
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Wow, cool patch Omri. Thanks for the video. When I read "Techno" I did not expect to find modules like Plateau, Chronoblob and Supercell in the patch. I usually associate such modules with ambient music. But it makes the beat very interesting. I think delay can be used everywhere and anytime. :)
Oh yes, indeed. That's the beauty of modular I guess, everything can be anything... Cheers!
I enjoyed following along with this patch. Great stuff, Omri, as always. This also gave me the opportunity to find out that my MBP with an on-board Intel Iris graphics card is not going to work for VCV Rack. Time to build a music production PC.
in the meantmie try turning down the ui framerate in the view menu
Thanks! And yeah, try lowering the frame rate, it might help you.
I really like what you did with the hi hats, these Hora hi hats sound fantastic with decay at 0! Also, Plaits in bass drum mode sounds great, I'm looking forward to the next episode in your Plaits synthesis models series! 🙂
I really like this hihat module, it sounds great and has many sound design possibilities. Cheers!
Woah so much information in one video. I enjoyed it a lot, but overwhelmed by the complexity of it. Need to really learn and practise a lot. Thank you for all your efforts. God Bless 😊🙏❤️
Yeah, patch from scratch videos can be overwhelming a bit... Try concentrating on one voice at a time, and experiment with it a bit. have fun!
@@OmriCohen-Music Thank you for the encouragement and advice, Omri. Could you please suggest a voice I Could start with, or a particular video I can learn more from. Thank you!
@@kerwinfernandes9583 Well, I meant exploring each of the voices from the video more deeply before building the whole patch. Just try to build a voice again and again, and experiment with different options and modules. This can really help you when building bigger patches.
@@OmriCohen-Music oh, now I understand what you meant. I'll do that, thank you 😁
it's always so inspiring to see you building a patch! thanks for sharing :)
Thanks so much!
OMG This is so entertaining buddy! please more of this !!!
Cheers!
I freaking love you omer
מתה עלייך
Would be amazing an ep of yours on this vibe, great
Well, I got so inspired by this one, I had to record a full track in the same direction :)
@@OmriCohen-Music i got something too! nephesh.bandcamp.com/album/mind-care-association
and you already gave me some advises in past
Oh nice, how did you make these?
@@OmriCohen-Music only the basics, simple waves and amp/pan modulation
who tf come around thumbs downing vids bruhh? lol. love all your work Omri, fantastic inspiration.
I appreciate that, thanks!
Four metal guitarists watched this video.
Oh yes, packed with greatness.
Hey, I am a bit late in the game but really enjoyed it. There is a sample you used at the final stage. The description says it is not available anymore. I wanted to see if you have another recommendation. Thanks!
me after i've done the patch following your tutorial: oh yes.
thank you!
Nice one again !! Really enjoying all the vids and the time you spent on them Omri. Well done ! Cant wait for the next one
Thanks so much!
i love this tutorial.!
Thanks!
@@OmriCohen-Music i hope you make some dnb tutorial for bass sounds mayb
Ohhhh yeahhh amazing bass sound
Thanks!
Got really confused earlier (doesn't take much). Built patch on VCV after watching vid, paused it and started listening to Omri's album "Opus 7" on Spotify. Dog needed out in garden, came back and thought the patch had morphed into some incredible sounding patch, then realised hadn't pressed pause on Spotify :)
Yo yo! 4 hours spent on assembly) it was cool, thank you very much! I understand just a little bit in the connection, but it's better - thanks to your video.
If I can help you, I'm a modern artist, if you're interested I'll tell you where to see the work, you never know
I appreciate it, thank you so much!
always learn something new with every video of yours
Cheers!
And here I am, making kicks out of my DPO when I could have just been using my plaits 😆
I really like the drum models on Plaits, they're very versatile. Also the ones on Braids are nice.
Brilliant patch!
ReMOVE Lite by stoermelder, perfectly complements this patch for creating some automation in Complex Simpler, and indeed everywhere else.
Thanks Omri! Thank you very much, knowledge is growing by leaps and bounds!
I appreciate it, thank you!
This. Was. Awesome!
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this one! Cheers Omri!
Thanks so much!
totally awesome. can't wait to try to slow this down and see if i can get some Rhythm & Sound sort of vibe from this
Oh nice, let me know how it goes!
Brilliant Omri, well done 😮
Thank you! 😀
"Oh yes" Also your tutorials are amazing man.
Thank you so much!
Your name should be Omni Cohen because you can do anything :)
Truly unbelievable!
There's always more to learn, I love it :)
Lovely patch, really digging the Count Modula ones. It's a shame the XFX F-35 isn't available anymore for 2.0, 35 filter types in just one module is huge, i added Feline from Valley instead, and pErC0 as substitute for Lala ^-^ .
Yeah, there's also Stairway from Squinky Labs. It's quite a nice sounding filter. Cheers!
I'm following along and building this patch as I watch. So helpful and informative. Thanks! One problem I'm having is I cant seem to get the reverb to come through the mix. Not sure what I missed, my patches seem to be in line with yours. I didn't see how you patched the reverb return though. Stumped for now.
I'm happy you liked it :) About the reverb, how do you have it connected? Do you have the expander close to the main module? Feel free to send me the patch and I'll have a look. You can send it here - omri.musicohen@gmail.com
@@OmriCohen-Music I figured it out. I had the MindMeld Auxspander Jr module instead of the regular Auxpander. I set up the exact same patch and reverb came through fine. There must be some sort of bug in the Auxspander Jr as far as I can tell. Anyways, thanks again. About to deep dive into more of your vids!
Thanks! Great tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
Ich habe die Module von Studio Six Plus One +add geklickt, aber sie kommen nicht ins VCV2 Rack. Sind die Module nicht mehr aktuell?
Hi! Yeah, unfortunately, this collection was not updated to VCV 2. Instead of LaLa, you can use the VCV VCF. It will work, more or less, the same.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, creativity! I don't know you, but I'm sure you're a great human being :)
I appreciate it, thanks so much!
I love you. thank u so much for these videos my brother you inspire me
I appreciate that!
Beatiful
Thanks!
can't thank you enough for this great job
Cheers!
Where are the stoermelder modules? I can't find them in the library?
I am new to modular and find your videos informative and inspiring. Where is the best place to learn the basics? I feel a lot of the beginner stuff on YT is still complicated.
Thanks Omri 👍
Thanks so much! The Stoermelder are still not in the library. I hope they will arrive there soon. About beginner videos, have a look here :) app.gumroad.com/omricohen
you just make it look so easy!
Amazing video!!
Glad you liked it!
Yep, this is nice! But, because your patches are seriously inspiring, I will have to tell you that you missed the opportunity to put an Autinn Bass behind the Percussive Vibration ;)
and: extra thanks! I'd never committed to using the Macro Oscillators Bass mode but it is indeed a brilliant module for that kind of sound.
Oh man, I love the Bass module! Cheers!
@Omri Cohen Can you please suggest a good module for producing triggered one-shot LFO's with an inverted envelope/saw shape? (to use as a ducking modulation to a bass VCA during kick drums).
Hi! Have a look at the DADSR from BogAudio. It has an inverted output, and you can shape the envelope exactly how you want. If you wish to go even further, there's the ShapeMaster from MindMeld. If you're looking for an easier solution, there's Oppressor from Flag, which is great for this and has enough controls.
@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks Omri!
thanks helped me learn a lot
Glad it helped!
Thank for your HowTo. I find it very useful. But unfornately I can't find the Euclidean Sequencer in Cardinal. Is there a trick?
I'm not familiar with Cardinal, but maybe there's a different Euclidean sequencer? You can also just use a "normal" sequencer, and enter the Euclidean rhythm you want.
@@OmriCohen-Music Yes! But unfornately your patch is very poor after loading it. It's neccessary to realize that there is something wrong. And I'm a newbie.
Hello, please tell me if there is any alternative Stoermelder uMAP for VCV Rack 2 ?
HI! Unfortunately, there's nothing else similar. But have a look here - github.com/stoermelder/vcvrack-packone/releases/tag/Nightly
There are the latest builds you can install. I hope they will reach the library soon... Just place the right file (under assets) in the plugins folder and open VCV. It should work.
@@OmriCohen-Music Hooray! Working! Thank you very much!
I can't find Studio 6+1 plugins for VCV Rack 2, can you recommend an equivalent to the Lala module?
You can do the same with the VCV VCF. You have 2 outputs, one for the higher frequencies and one for the lower ones, and with the cutoff you can set the splitting point :)
and by the way, I didn’t find the link to the sample pack that you mentioned, I downloaded another one, but I can’t load the waw sample, I choose the sample and the sampler remains empty, please tell me how to fix it
Yeah, I'm not so sure why but some of the sound packs disappeared... Maybe it has something to do with the sample rate? I'm not so sure...
Do a track with your ''Oh ya'' cause it's absolutely awesome.
A very noob / beginner question. I downloaded your vcv patch , and opened the patch . It said missing modules , do i have to manually install all the modules ? Using VCV2 here. Also great content !
Thanks :) And yes, unfortunately, there are some modules missing in VCV 2 but I updated the patch in the link so you can download it again, and it should have only available modules. If you miss any modules, you will have to install them manually. Just look for the collections in the library and install them. Cheers!
Hi omri, there is a problem with the connection between the module of my U map and the knobs; the light of u map can only be lit on one side and the green light cannot be on at the same time; the knob of knob1 keeps flashing, what is the problem?Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot
Hi! I'm not so sure I understand. can you send me the patch and I'll have a look?
can you us how your auxspander and mixmaster are patched? Just trying to learn! Thanks!
Hi! The Auxspander is an expander of the mixer, so there's no patching needed. You just have to place it on the right of the mixer, and it's connected.
thanks! I notice the aux is going to a reverb?which reverb? Or maybe I am not far enough in the tutorial lol@@OmriCohen-Music
@@lawdviola yeah, my template patch is the mixer with auxspander, and Plateau as a send reverb. Just make sure to take the dry down on Plateau, so you don't get the dry signal twice.
@@OmriCohen-Music thanks a buncho!
Oh yessss. Still now.
So damn good.
Thanks!
Lovely patch can this be recorded multi out to daw?
Thanks! Yes, if you have the VCV VST it should be quite easy to do
I cant find the MacroMap module.. Can someone help me with that? any alternatives?
It's not in the library but you can find the files here - github.com/stoermelder/vcvrack-packone/releases/tag/Nightly
Download the file for your system under Assets and place it in the VCV plugins folder. If you don't know where it is,
you can open VCV, and under Help choose Open User Folder. Just place the file in the plugins folder there and restart VCV.
@@OmriCohen-Music Thank you very much for the fast reply. And thank you a lot for the tutorial!!!
I know this is an old video, but your sample pack does not seem to be available anymore, so I can't complete the patch T_T Any chance you could bring the pack back on your Patreon?
Excellent
Thanks!
what do you use for µMAP in Rack2?
Well, there's no real substitute but you can find it here under Assets - github.com/stoermelder/vcvrack-packone/releases/tag/Nightly
Is this easily translated to cardinal? I am about to try but asking first. Love the vids I’m gonna learn lots
I'm not so sure but let me know how it goes :)
reminds me of freddy K with the ohhh yeaaah hahaha
Can this be created with the free version of vcv for windows?
Yes, definitely. That's what I'm using in this video.
When Omri get Eargasam you hear ohhhh yess 😁😁
great video as always! Quick question, when copying identical settings on the plaits for the kick, YOUR kick coming through youtube seems to sound different to my kick in VCV, is there any mastering or compression that could do this? Or must my settings in VCV be different?
Thanks! Well, how different does it sound? Is it very different? Did you try downloading the patch and seeing if it sounds different also there? I know that UA-cam is adding compression to everything so it might be that. Let me know :)
@@OmriCohen-Music kick just sounds much punchier in the low end through the video, but not so much through vcv. Using my fancy new sony xm4's and it sounds veerrrrryyyyy huuuuuuge, but yea, had to tweak it a lil on vcv to get it sounding like the youtube video. I will download the patch and report back
If thinking if you add like automation on density and pitch of supercell, it will be more interesting.
Brilliant
Thanks!
Groovy!!!
Hello budy, how are you? Are these modules paid?
Hi, yes, they are all available for free
@@OmriCohen-Music THANKSSS
Haha, so you can also do that (of course you can). :) Very nice!
It was so much fun :) Thanks!
O yeah indeed.
Nice
Cheers!
Great video. However the captions are unfortunately set to auto-generate from Dutch, even though you're speaking English.
Nice! Can you make hard techno from scratch to? :)
Maybe in the future :)
Yo goood stuff
Thanks!
GOOOD ...
Cheers!
Oh yaa
Hoooooooooooo yesssss
Nice very nice 🌌🎛🎹🎚
Thanks !
I thought I misread channel's name for a moment lol.
2 hands 10 fingers?.... Nehhh am good with mouse 😎🤓
oh yes....... hmmmm.... oh yes.....
For some people, modular is better than sex... I guess youre some people... Respect...
I have added some swing to your patch here is a link
ua-cam.com/video/777rM0w6ZwE/v-deo.html
it's crazy that is free!!!!! why?
Hi! Sadly Lala is not available for VCV Rack 2. Any alternatives?
Hi! Yeah, you can use the VCV VCF. You have the cutoff control that let's you choose the x fade point, and you have both low pass so lower than the cutoff, and you have high pass so higher than the cutoff.
