Patreon Q&A
Hey guys!
I want to start doing again monthly Q&A videos for patrons :) Once a month, I will publish a post asking for questions you might have, and I will record a video trying to answer as many questions as I can. This doesn't have to be of course about VCV only, feel free to ask anything. This will be open for all tiers, and I will post the video on my YouTube channel when it's done. So let me know what you think, and you can already post your questions in the comments :)
Thanks again so much!

hi Omri :) i m little bit late maybe for my question but for April is ok no rush , i would like to create some kind of longer gate with envelope to create evolving pad what sequencer should i use for this ? or maybe i missed one of your video :) thank you
Hi! Yeah, I will include this in the April's video but for now, you can try a few things. If the sequencer you like using has a trigger/gate output, you can use DGATE from BogAudio to change the gate length. Also, you can try and use a function generator instead of an envelope so the length of the gate will not matter and the function will complete its cycle. For example, you can use Rampage or the AD generator from nysthi. If the sequencer you're using has no trigger/gate output, you can run the pitch information through Quantum, for example, which has a gate output for when there's a change in pitch. Just set all the notes on and it should work. Let me know if this helps. You can also send me an example patch and I will send it to you back with what you need. Cheers!
Thanks so much everyone for the questions! I've just recorded the video and I hope to have it ready for next week :) I will publish another post in April for more questions of course. Cheers!
Hey Omri. Im thinking of buying my first hardware module. Now my question is how do you send cv from vcv to external hardware?
Well, I think I just found the solution. Something like this “Doepfer Dark Link USB/MIDI-to-CV/Gate-Interface”. You are using Arturia Keystep to do this, or?
Hi Omri, How do you release one of your new tracks (or perhaps a full album) to the various music streaming services, such as Spotify? Thanks!
I would like to know how you pick modules to use. And what you think about using loads of modules in a patch. Do you ever go really minimal and only use a handful of modules? I'd also like to know if you have tips for going from a basic understanding of synthesis. I feel like there is a big gap between beginner type tutorials, and then really advanced stuff with not much explanation of what is going on. Feel like there needs to be some intermediate resources.
I would like to know a little bit more about the process of choosing a specific scale, or note interval. How to choose a good tune, or notes combo. Thanks so much for being such an inspiration!
Hello, thx for the opportunity to send you a question. I would love to know more about reverb, compression, delay, and fx chains in general to create amazing ambient like Chihei Hatakeyama, Ex-Confusion, 36, etc. Searching for the magic recipe or proper settings. Be well! Peace
Some time ago I watched an inspiring Against The Clock where Tukico used a looper (https://www.factmag.com/2019/03/27/tukico-hoshiko-yamane-against-the-clock/). Somehow I can't wrap my head around how a looper works, for instance Luppolo in VCV. Can you shed your light on this?
Thanks Omri, for answering this question in your video. It's clear to me now and I did some nice experiments with this already.
I enjoy watching you improvise a patch on YT. But, I would love to hear your comments about composing a piece for release and if it differs much from creating an interesting patch. Thanks for the inspiration, education and motivation.
