How do you like it until now, and what would you like to have in the future?
Hi everyone!
So, it's almost the end of the year (again), and I thought I will freshen things up a bit :) Our community is growing slowly, and I'm really thankful for that so I would like to know, more or less, what are the things you enjoy here, what perks you like most, and if there's something else you would like to see here. Something I can offer monthly maybe, or things you would like to see more often.
There's a list of the things I offer until now, you can vote for what you enjoy most, and feel free to add ideas in the comments for other things you would like to see here :)
Thanks again so much!

I'm new to the patreon community here. It's incredible what you've been able to accomplish here. Congratulation. So, this was not in the voting list, but I like the audio sample packs. I'm not sure how often you do those, So far, I've only come across the Noise Engineering BIA one. Someone above mentioned Kontakt instrument patches. You might check out the free DescentSampler. It's a small project with a minimal commercial footprint, but it's a free plug-in that runs on all platforms. It's quite popular with the Pianobook.co.uk community. https://www.decentsamples.com/product/decent-sampler-plugin/ https://www.decentsamples.com/decent-sampler-developer-resources/ I think as well as distributing your own sampled instruments, I'd love to see a continued/greater focus on creating sampled instruments. I be interested in what you know and learn about the art of recording samples and making instruments. Yes, there are plenty of resources already online, but I think everyone here appreciates your style. ~Cheers
Hey, Robert, thanks so much! Yeah, I wanted to create instruments with DS, but it's too much coding for me and I'm really clueless when it comes to this. I hope to have more time to learn this because it's the perfect platform for this stuff. I appreciate the feedback!
Hi Omri, i enjoy all of your publications. I found the video very cool in which you recreated the sound of a kick drum in VCV: "Creating a Tom Hades style kick in VCV rack". All in all, I am very interested in how various sounds from well-known pieces come about. Jakub once showed how Pink Floyd realized the sound of a hihat with a noise generator. It is also interesting how artists like Jean Michele Jarre generated their sound segments. Thank you for letting us participate in your skills.
Hi! That's totally something I will try to make more, recreating sounds of known tracks. Thanks for the feedback!
I love all the things and appreciate all your work and effort. My favorite things that you do relate to concepts and things to try. My most favorite things you do relate to concepts and practices that apply to both vcv and hardware setups with less modules. I love all the back and forth stuff with ES9. I also really love your monthly challenges in discord (even though I haven't participated yet, I still read/listen to them).
I really appreciate it, thanks so much!
I really appreciate that you use almost all free modules. I’d also like to have reviews or special videos that use the premium modules. I like supporting the developers so knowing which premium modules are good and what makes them special would be very enlightening.
That's a great idea, thanks so much!
Hello Omri, all of the content is great. I especially loved the flute Kontakt instrument and have used it in multiple patches, would it be possible to create more in the future? Potentially direct from your hardware? Thank you!
Thanks so much! I think it's a great idea to create different instruments. I just wish there was a free player that is easy to use so also people that don't have Kontakt could use it... Maybe I should make more research :)
I've joined because of VCV at first but I've postponed to launch the VCV screen in front of me. Instead I've always play my real modular system which always there and inspiring me each time. I know VCV world is endless and Eurorack and other real modular is limited to getting new modules but learning VCV is less inspiring at the end of day. Omri, It's just me and I would love to open VCV Rack in front of me someday. Thank you for your effort and love your music and VCV videos!
I appreciate the feedback, thank you!
After everything that has been said above, there is little I can add. At the risk of being redundant, I will offer my gratitude for all the knowledge you share on a regular basis and I look forward to many walkthroughs and in-depth module analyses to come.
It means a lot to me, thank you!
Enjoy your work! Always informative and inspiring -- Your videos are like taking a college course in modular synthesis! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I agree with everyone here, you're doing a great job and your videos are either very helpful or very inspiring (both most of the time). I became a Patron for the Patching Ideas and Techniques document at first but now the Discord channel (all of you have build a great community there) and having an input in the Q&A videos have been even more helpful. I also really enjoy the monthly challenges BTW, it's a great way to get out of my comfort zone and get inspired by other members work. Thanks for you hard work and congrats on 500+ patrons, they're well deserved indeed.
I really appreciate it, Mathias, thanks so much!
I've enjoyed your informative video's and discussions for at least 2 or 3 years now! These days I find the Discord channel discussions the most!
Thanks so much!
Patch walkthrough videos are my favorite. Those are how I've learned the most from you since I found VCV about a year ago. I also love your live streams, they're always tons of fun and a nice way to unwind at the end of the week and get inspired for a weekend of patching. The only suggestion I might have for changing things would be in your Discord. There are a few channels that are a bit similar. So I'm wondering if some channels can be consolidated a bit? Some of the general discussion channels seem to have a lot of overlap. I do greatly value being a member of your Discord, it’s a great community you’ve built with lots of friendly, knowledgable people with many different musical backgrounds. In fact, it’s only one of three Discords I’m in where I have notifications turned on in my phone, haha. The other two are the VCV Rack and Modular World Discords. Anyways, congrats on the 500+ patreon members! That’s a great milestone! You’ve earned it and you definitely deserve it. Cheers, Omri! :mushroom:
I appreciate the feedback! I will definitely dedicate some time to rearrange the Discord channel. Thanks!
It's just great what you do with VCV. Walkthroughs and patches-from-scratch are interesting to grasp the building-up of bigger patches and on top of that short, detailed explanations on one topic, module, technique, sound-design, composing with modular are another great way of learning. It would be OK to have the video's online, downloading is not really essential to me., as isn't early acces. I'm happy to be a patreon!
I appreciate the feedback, thanks so much!
Frankly Omri I have always thought that your Patreon was a massive bang-for-the-buck without any changes in how you present material.
I appreciate it, James, thank you!
I love everything you do Omri! I quite like Harry Frost's idea about nite size videos.
Thanks, Phil! Yeah, that's a great idea!
Many thanks for your continued contribution to the synth community, Omri! Sadly, I've not been very active recently and have missed a lot of videos and posted on Discord only sporadically. This is mainly because I was trying to relocate. The good news is that I now have a house and I'm moving (to Scotland) in November. Before too much longer I'm hopeful that I'll have a proper studio setup again. Hopefully at that point I'll be around far more often :) My choices seem to match most of the popular ones so far, and I don't have anything add just at the moment, but keep up the good work!
That's good news, Mike! I wish you lots of luck with the move! Cheers :)
I love everything you do Omri. Thanks!
I really appreciate it, thank you!
I really like the patch from scratch walk throughs and the files that go with them. I know a lot of YouTubers give away iPad apps, plug-ins. I wonder if you could give away vcv modules as a prize? I think you could get sponsorship from the manufactures if you are highlighting their modules/apps.
Yeah, I would love to make more giveaways. I started doing one monthly now with the Discord challenge (are you on Discord), and I hope VCV will start offering gift cards soon. That will make things much easier. Cheers!
Yes the patch walkthroughs are great, like I see you do a really interesting YouTube performance and know I'll be able to try elements out myself later. That and the techniques document/Bible alone make the whole thing worthwhile for me. I'm not too bothered about early access, not that it's bad in any way, but as far as I'm concerned you could not do it and it wouldn't affect my happiness with the subscription. Maybe you already do this and I miss it, but perhaps some really short bite sized videos that just narrowly focus on one phenomenon? Comparing two methods of doing something similar, or quickly designing a sound like one you've heard or imagined. I love your long patch videos and the in depth module ones, but sometimes I make a mental note to try something from halfway through a video, then get distracted by someone else cool later on, and when I find the time to open VCV I need to remember which video section it was in and spend some time scrolling around to find it again. Thanks for everything you do, it's really great.
I really appreciate the feedback, thank you! Short videos is a great idea. I will also continue updating the document, of course. Cheers!
Thanks Omri! I find the patch walkthroughs inspiring for new ideas and I learn a lot too
I appreciate it, thanks so much!
