When you started playing at 14:53, I was blown away by how good it sounded. Not because I doubted you, I just instantly was mesmerized by the sound. Bravo.
imo this is hella overkill and wouldn't fit in a large variety of hardware beginner-sized racks. i'm still going through the video but i'd love to know what this will all be used for, cause it seems bloated.
Love the “fixed rack” idea! I think it’s kind of easy to be overwhelmed with all the possibilities in vcv rack so this looks like a good way to amend some of that. :)
Sorry, doesn't look beginner friendly with a few sequencers on the screen. Also it's hard to follow what is what, even with voice comments when everything is already connected. I liked your beginner example for VCV 2 with Surge much more, thanks.
Hey Omri! I’m following along to build this rack and some of the modules are missing. The ones that are missing I will list below and what I used in place of them! VCO-1(Functional VCO by Squinky Labs) VCO-2(WT-VCO by VCV, closest by appearance) SS-1 & SS-2 (unsure what to use in place of) I’m building this one while watching your video by hand, and it’s only been a year since this video released but the look of vcv’s adsr and random functions are wider and take up more space on the bottom row, so it doesn’t line up with the rest of the patch. Are the substitutions for what I couldn’t find good? Is there something I can use in place of ss-1 and ss-2? Thank you so much for your tutorials, they have been super helpful in learning and building patches!
Hi! Yeah, there were a few updates since this video but VCO 1 is basically the VCV VCO, VCO 2 is the WT VCO, and the SS1 and 2 are the sequentialt switches from VCV. If you want, feel free to email me you rpatch and I'll have a look :) You can send it here omri.musicohen(at)gmail.com
It seems like some of the modules you've used aren't available any more or don't work in the new version. Any chance you'll revisit this, or recommend an updated beginner friendly fixed rack?
Hi! Only the MB module is currently not in the library but everything else should work. The Fundamental collection did get an update, but all of the modules are there. Have a look here if you need some help with them - omricohen.gumroad.com/l/vcv2fundamental
11:29 Honestly, I don't really understand what this send and return loop is all about. What does it do? Why is it better than simply inserting an effect, say, reverb, to the audio path?
Well, when using an effect as a send effect, you still have the original signal unprocessed. You can also use the same effect for multiple voices at different levels. When you use an effect as a part of the chain, you will have to use multiple instances of it if you want multiple voices effected, and the original sound will not exist anymore, you will have only the processed signal. One is not better than the other but you can take advantage of both according to your needs. I personally prefer having effects as a part of the chain so each voice is unique and I can also mess around with the effects, especially in modular.
really enjoyed your videos around building standard "modular system". I'm going to try out this tutorial and also the one on the moog defam. Hope to see more such videos if possible! Thanks!
Great video! I am drowning in possibilities. A common problem these days :-) I will use this patch for a long time just to learn. Also I am once again happy with my MacBook M1 bcs VCV is a b*tch when it comes to resources :-?
@@OmriCohen-Music sorry, I don't get it. I am having the same issue on example 2. Where to set the multiplication factor 4? Where to right click and multiply?
@@MrHaansman Hi! If you right click the module itslef, the clock module, you will have options you can choose from. If you choose 1/16, you will get a multiplied by 4 clock. Let me know if it works for you!
I love this idea of a fixed Patch, I'm gonna try this. Its like having a Eurorack setup that I can approach and try different things every time I approach it, without worrying about setting up a new set of modules every time. Thanks for this video and inspiration. God bless you! 🙂🙏🏻❤
Great video Omri! Excited to play around with this rack! I would also be interested in a video (maybe a fixed rack) for creating heavy glitch patches in the style of Richard Devine. I love his music and particularly his sound design.
Hallo Omri :) . I have a problem and dont know how to solve it yet. I got a pitch information and if the pitch is below a certain level other things should be triggered. I need to set this pitch level somehow (?)
Hi! Well, for this you will need to use a comparator. It will compare the pitch information (in this case) with a certain level (the low notes) and will output a gate you can use to trigger other things.
I missed the live version due to some flight delays I had last night. Anyway, now all set to peacefully listened to this a couple of times. Thanks for sharing Omri!

When I was a beginner, this rack would've overwhelmed me.
Agreed.
When you started playing at 14:53, I was blown away by how good it sounded. Not because I doubted you, I just instantly was mesmerized by the sound. Bravo.
I appreciate it 🙂
I will try to do a patch with this setup!🧐thanks for teaching us, even with your videos and help, I am struggling learning all this
Take it step by step. Let me know how it goes :)
Thank you! I *was* getting overwhelmed. How did you know?
What exactly is "beginner friendly" about this? I'm following along until I'm suddenly looking at a bowl of noodles
Heh. Me too. I guess at that point, you need to download Omri's patches and follow along from there.
err so this is the beginner friendly rack. great thanks...

Hot diggity! Perfect for me! Merci.
Cheers!

Yeah, there are new worlds to explore in such a small setup
This is BANANAS!

One question, at 12:30, the clock seems much faster than 159 BPM.. Is this a visual bug or am I missing something? Thanks!
No no, that's not a bug :) In the right click menu you can choose a multiplication so I have it set to multiplied by 4 and I get 16th notes.
@@OmriCohen-Music I appreciate so much that you reply to comments. Stay based, cheers!
@@vutroslavgandic my pleasure 🙂 have fun!

Yes! Exactly! It's a great way to practice and learn new techniques also. Limitation is a doorway to creativity :)
Great stuff . Learned alot -- like --chancing clock speed by a lfo
.... simple but never thought of that. :-) Thanks
Glad it was helpful!

The live stream didn't happen yet :) If everything goes well it will be tomorrow (Friday) at 9pm CEST
@@OmriCohen-Music Perfect! Will be tuning in. Thanks!
