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 call that a "cicada method" cause some sort of cicadas have either a 13 or 17 years development cycle, so their hatching time is possibly not overlapping.
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!
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.
As someone who only ever uses spreadsheets when required by employment, and hasn't had a class on them since the 90s, thank you for the little tips, ie filling in the first 2 cells, and dragging down!
Oooh, I wonder how open the functionality of inputting math on the pitch knob is? Can you input functions? Thinking some backdoor fm, possibly? Will it execute arbitrary code? Lol.
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.

I like that! Cicada's are cool. I think I'll start calling it that too 😁
Stealing this for sure
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.
I didn't know you could input expressions in the text fields.. pretty cool! 👍 Can you think of any use for that?

This is insanely helpful and clear. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment, @burningpaper I'm glad it was useful to you 😁

@@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. 😁

Lol! I haven't messed with it much, but if I had to guess I bet it is pretty open.

Oh! That's a great technique! I'm going to use that lol.
Awesome work as always bro
Yo CrusaderGeneral! Thanks dude. I appreciate it! 😁
Ok, but how do I do meth in vcv rack?
Haha! With so many free modules, there has to be one for that right?
