Patch walkthrough and VCV file for this generative patch
Hi all!
I recorded this nice generative patch the other day, drawing a bit while listening to it go :) Anyway, I thought you might be interested in the patch and in a walkthrough of how I have things set up. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again!

I made it about halfway through and then got so distracted with the ValhallaSupermassive unit that I paused and saved the second half for another night. First foray into VST in a patch for me and I like it. Wound up adding a really nice extra voice to my current patch using the RingsAroundTheWorld preset. So much depth in a free module, it made the Host purchase well worth it and something I'm looking forward to using more of now. Also Rings Around The World brings back some old pleasant memories. When I was getting back into electronic music this past autumn, I went on a long walk with that album just because I wanted to Run Christian Run, because of the way that two note ostinato that opens the track evolves and grounds the whole recording. I always wanted to be able to make sounds like that and it was nice to go back and hear how good it still sounds.
Oh, that's a nice story... Beautiful! And yes, Host is an amazing module that open so many doors.
Some great sound design there Omri ! Fascinating walkthrough.
Yeah, it was a fun one :) Thanks!
unrelated question: what do you use for recording your videos, and what sort of CPU load do you have when running e.g. the generative patch above? i was trying my first live stream today, and Rack was just killing my system (a 16 core threadripper!)
Yeah, it can get quite heavy. I'm using OBS for video and Reaper for audio so I have VCV, OBS, and Reaper open at the same time. Try lowering the frame rate in VCV, it can really help. I also found that using only 1 core works better than multiple cores.
this is really lovely, and the walkthrough is full of nice ideas! thanks omri.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
