Hi all!
It's time for another Q&A session :) Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to answer them in the next video.
Thanks again!

Hi Omri can you tell/learn something about layering music in eurorack and/or vcv.. Like bass layer/ rhythm layer/ lead synth layer and so on.................................................................................................................... and something about (euclidian and or poly) rhythm. I have/ use m.i. Grids... but not im not a drummer/percussive guy... and I would love to implement some rhythm in my ambient stuff.
Thanks!
Let's build the Make Noise Strega in VCV Rack? ;)
Well, to be honest, I gave it a try but there are a couple of problems. First of all, a big part of the Strega is the touch pads, which are quite hard to reproduce in VCV. It's the same reason why I don't try to build the Lyra8. Another issue is that I don't have one and the manual is not so clear about what's really going on so I'm not so sure how to approach things...
Hello Omri ... Love the content .... I just bought myself a new tower just to be able to start working with Eurorack hehe... So my question is - can we replace some of the Eurorack plugins that you use in your patches with some that are free ?
Hi! I'm not so sure I understand... Do you mean the hardware modules that are available in VCV? Or real hardware?
Building on D.Ranz's question, I've been looking at Midilar's MIDI controllers. Being able to customize the configuration of the controller types (sliders, switches etc) is really cool but I'm curious to know why you chose the Eurorack version over the standalone version.
VCV does tend to crash a lot though, maybe it'll get used to it. I'm after a controller with just sliders and knobs, no keyboard or drum pads. I think the only thing I've seen that really does that is the Midilar – which you can configure how you like. For example, I want a long row sliders so I can go to town on the Buchla Easel plugin in VCV! Reached out to Jakub a while back, maybe he's on holiday.
Hi I still don't exactly know how the Turing machine works and it seems like in a lot of videos people don't really explain how it creates sequences etc. Also in your Turing video you connect the gate of Quantum to the gate of FM operator and I don't quite understand why haha.
There's some Turing videos in Omri's YouTube channel you could check out. Mylar Melodies also has some good Turing techniques in some of his videos too.
Don't know if you've discussed this before, but I'm curious about your general approach to creating a patch. Do you generally have in mind an idea of what you want the resulting patch to sound like, or do you mostly improvise & let the modules lead the way? (Except for when you are explicitly attempting to duplicate a sound - eg Stranger Things - or creating a patch that attempts to duplicate a fixed rack.)
Great question!
Howdy, Omri! What advice would you have for someone wanting to start composing and performing on modular regarding practice and creativity? Additionally, do you find VCV to be less inspiring compared to hardware or is it easier to reach your end goal (having ALL the modules you could need) with VCV? Thank you so much for your hard work building such a welcoming community around VCV and modular!
Great questions! Thanks!
Hi Omri, thanks for all the amazing content. You mentioned that you prefer Microcell over Beads do you mind explaining why? I recently bought Beads and I like it a lot, does Microcell have more things to offer? Thanks.
Great question! Thanks!
Hi Omri ! I have recently discovered the Bode Frequency Shifter Effect (in Arturia Modular V). Is there a way to recreate this effect in VCV ? Thanks :)
I will answer this also in the video but have a look at the Booty Shifter from Squinky Labs. It's inspired by the Bode one.
