November's Q&A session
Hi all!
So it's time for another Q&A :) Feel free to leave your questions in the comments to this post, and I will do my best to include them in the next video.
Thank you so much!

Any module suggestions that have velocity sensitive gate inputs? Also some tips of how to use them (i.e. gate cv into a modulated vca)
Nice one! Thanks!
Ever thought of adding iPad Pro to your setup? It has some amazing unique apps that can be interesting to explore. For example - Borderlands Granular, Samplr, Tardigrain, miRack (VCV Rack for iPad), Velvet Machine, Enso Looper, Aparillo, Mononoke, Modley, Spinn, Skaka, Fugue Machine, Xynthesizr, and many others. And it would be interesting to see how you'll implement them in your performances. Thank you!
Nice one Karen, thanks!
Thanks for your reply! I have normal delays covered with Octatrack through which I run all my signals. Character is actually what I'm looking for so I guess I'll have to do a bernoulli gate patch to decide which one to get :)
Lol :) Again, if you have any more questions, feel free to write me, I have experience with both. Cheers!
Hi, Omri. Thanks for inspiring! I'm looking to add first delay to my rack and I'm torn between Magneto and Mimeophon. While Magneto sounds amazing I have noticed that you use Mimeophon on almost every patch not so with the magneto. Which one would you get first now that you have had both for some time and why?
Oh, that's a nice one! I will answer this also in the video but maybe I can already help. I tend not to use Magneto and the Mimeophon as delays so much, and I have to be honest, I quite miss having a "normal" delay. I would get a Chronoblob 2, but I wish it had also a reverse function. The thing is, Magneto has 4 taps, and even if you bring the feedback up, it's not really like a normal delay where you will get many "clean" repetitions depending on the feedback control. It adds lots of color and character rather then repetitions. I love it, and I use it a lot to add character to a sound or as a looper, but not as a delay. With the Mimeophon it's a bit different, the repetitions will work "better" but it's quite noisy so pretty quickly it will start to self oscillate and you will not get enough repetitions. Also here, I use it a lot to add color to a sound, especially with the built in filter and halo, but I don't see it as a delay per se. So I guess that if you're looking for a "normal" delay, I would not get either. If you're looking for something to add color and character to your voices, then both a really nice. I would also look at the 4ms looping delay, it looks very interesting. If I had the space for it, I would get one already. So as I mentioned, I will talk about it also for the video, maybe other people will also find it interesting, but feel free to write me if you have any more questions. You can email me also. omri.musicohen@gmail.com
I have two questions: I send pitch data via midi in combination with pitch bend, these are exact values to obtain in theory specific tunings. I am wondering how to scale the pitch bend output from the midi input module so that i can add it to the pitch input and get the correct tuning. The second question is about scaling in general, which modules are the best ones? How can I add/subtract values from signals? Thanks !!!!
Thanks!
Re One Knob: Actually I was looking for a kinda universal "Real World" solution, cause Transit is VCV specific. It might be a Macro Knob Controller.)))
Yeah, you will need something with CV inputs so there's no need to "map" anything, and then you will need a macro controller.
Re One Knob: If it's approved by You than its good:-) Thank You
Hi Omri, I would like to know more about working with inverted Signals , like Oscilators or Filters . Self-made Phasers etc... Thank You
That's a great topic for a video! Thanks!
Hi Omri,Is there a module which can Invert Attenuate and Offset with one Knob, I am trying to achieve a sharp envelope going to open vca when turning clockwise and an inverted envelope open the vca when turning counterclockwise. For now i found a workaround with befaco dual attenuverter and and stoermelders transit . check this out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AkWA7sfM0BScawPA1eS1QYRLfl6lTTBz/view?usp=sharing
Well, with one knob I don't think it's possible, but your solution is quite good. What would you like to change?
It would be cool to see a concise video on music theory of generative ambient music!
Hi Evan, that's a great idea for a video, thanks!
Hi Omri, I would like to use VCV Rack for live electronic music, playing some musical instruments live and as a source. I know modules like Luppolo3 that work as a loop station. I would ask you if you could list the most useful modules for the purpose, highlighting the specific functions for each module, and I would ask you if you could do some small practical examples by making some demo patches. Thank you so much!
Hi Mario, that's a great topic for a full video, it can be very interesting going through some of those aspects. I will add it to the list of ideas :) Thanks!
