A document full with patching techniques and ideas!
Hi Everyone!
So this is the techniques and ideas document :)
For each idea and/or technique there's a patch diagram so you can see how the signal flow works and experiment with your choice of modules in hardware or in VCV Rack, and there's also an accompanying patch in VCV Rack. I'm using only free available modules in VCV, so all of you can use them. There are links in the document to where you can find the additional collections you might need for VCV, and some hardware suggestions you might want to try. That said, I made sure to use the so-called Fundamental collection as much as I could, so you will not need to download too many additional collections.
You can find the document with all the patches in the attachments. There are also selection files saved for each idea that you can load directly into your patches without the need to start a new patch. You can do this from the File menu, Import Selection. Please let me know if there's anything that doesn't work for you, or you might find weird, and I will do my best to fix it as quickly as I can.
I really hope you will find this document useful.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks so much!

Thank you so much OmrI! This looks so good, so detailed.. so much possibilities! I can't thank you enough for the immense supply of knowledge you have shared!
Thanks so much!
Omri you are my hero <3
Thanks for your patience and presence in the electronic jungle :D
Cheers!
You are the best ever! Thank you!
Have fun :)
Thanks a lot for this !!
Have fun!
soo much to study, soo mouch to learn, this is simply fantastic! <3
Have fun :)
awesome. I already got the basic learning videos. Now with this I can dive even deeper, love learning stuff
Hey, that's great :) Let me know if there's anything I can help with!
Thanks Omri, this will be well read in the coming weeks/months! Please keep adding to it ^_^
Oh yes, I will :) Have fun!
Thanks for the update ;-)
Cheers!
Only need to say one thing...Oh Yeah!
Cheers!
You have grown a mycelium online, Omri. And we are your little mushrooms sprouting from the nutritious network you are providing! Thanks for everything, man!!
I appreciate it, man, thanks!
Hi Omri, wonderful job! I never thought that VCV could be so much fun! You're the n° 1 VCV man! Cheers!
Hey, thanks so much!
Great ideas and very useful for beginners like me, please keep adding ;-)
Cheers!
Hi Omri, fantastic, you will be my "GURU" for the years to come ;-)
Heyah Omri, thank you sooooo much for sharing your knowledge with us...
Hey Peter, thank you so much! I'm working on an update so everything will work with VCV2 :)
This is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for. You should make more noise about it. (Look what Loopop/Ziv does with his "In-Complete Book".) Thanks for writing, collecting and organizing all this information and publishing it here.
Hey, thanks so much! I'm mentioning it every once in a while but maybe I should do a better job at it :) Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing this!
I'm glad you like it, thanks!
Thank you so much for your work.
I appreciate it, thank you!
So cooooooool
I'm happy you like it :) There's another update coming soon!
Thank you so much. As a complete beginner, this is invaluable. I have always admired modular kit from a young age but it was at arms length. Mostly due to finance. Now years later, as a linux buff and musician, I have now been able to build a halfway decent home music studio, and with my computing knowledge put it all together in one spot. I am an advocate of libre music production and software available to those less fortunate, especially for music production. and coming across VCV was a godsend, which led me to here. I can't wait to support the devs when Rack2 comes out. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us newbies :)
Hi! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it :) And yes, VCV is a gift that keeps on giving, it's amazing. Cheers!
This is likely to become my bible. Cheers Omri, this is exactly the resource I was looking for for VCV. I was going to get into hardware modular but decided I can't justify the cost so I'll stick with my semi-modular synths I have currently and concentrate more on VCV... Then along comes this treat, boomshanka!!! Very happy to be one of your '303' Patrons :)
Hey man, thanks! I'm really happy I took the time to work on this document, and I have so many ideas to add :)
This is really useful for me. Also ideas can be transferred to other software including Reaktor Blocks
Yes, totally, most of them will work with many other platforms. Cheers!
I'm in, can't wait for this to become a Patch & Tweak-level monster i might a actually be able to take to the beach/camping
Hey man, thanks! Maybe one day :) \
This looks good!
Thanks so much!
I'm now a Fun-Gi - could not miss out on this!
Hey, James, thanks :)
I am so excited for this! Thank you Omri
Thank you so much!
Great! This is the kind of content I want to support - congrats on getting it together.
Hey, Ed, thanks so much!
Sorry didn't mean to post twice, my internet is being weird this morning...
No worries :)
Oh wow yes. Omri, this is an extremely helpful resource, especially probably for us beginners and anybody else I would think. I have wanted something like this actually. Many times I know what sound I want to add to a patch or what I am going for but don't remember how to set it up. Right now I have to try to remember what tutorial it was from and go through all of my saved patches to find the example. It takes a while sometimes and then I have to close the example (it would be great if VCV let you open up two instances of the program) and open back up the patch I am trying to work with and switch back and forth sometimes. It is especially useful to be able to looks up things like how to add crunch, how to add a Karplus Strong voice, syncing LFOs to a clock, etc. Even if I wasn't looking for something in particular this will be really useful just for getting ideas to try. I can't really think of suggestions on how to improve it. The layout and format are good, I like the concise descriptions of the topics just the right amount of detail I think, and there is a clickable index. What a useful handbook this will be. Once it gets a little bigger you should sell it on Amazon as a companion to VCV rack :)
I agree fully Stephen as I'm also a beginner with only a few months of experience.
This is mind-blowingly fantastic! I'm an engineering research and development guy by trade so this kind of material is PERFECT for me as I'm very much a "reference" guy as I love to learn and experiment in much this way. When I experiment I take copious notes etc. so I can always go back and say what worked, what didn't and also have building blocks to use and grow from. Thank you very much Omri, and I'll look forward to updates as they happen. *And* as a bonus you put this out on my birthday :) haha
Hey man, happy birthday :) And I'm really glad you like the idea, thank you!
Thank you! This will be very useful for me (written ressources are rare, I often struggle improving my patching rather than my knowledge of modules and surely this can be an inspiration beyond vcv).
I'm happy you like it :) Yeah, having something written and easy to find can be very helpful.
WOW what a beautiful work, it's awesome :-) That's a thing I always wanted to do... have a notebook next to me and wright down the technics but I was too lazy... But no problem, you've done it! Many many thanks it's really GREAT
Oh great, I'm happy you like it :) Thanks so much, Freddy!
This is a fantastic idea. I will read it carefully.
Thank you so much!
