Happy New Year Omri! Wondering your general opinion on getting a hardware complex oscillator. Mainly in the context if you you have a small/medium size rack and want to make the best use of space. Are they worth the HP? I am looking at getting a DPO or other complex oscillator but wonder if getting a Neoni and a Saich or something like this would give more sound design possibilities for the same amount of space. How would you decide or what would influence your decision?
Will we ever get an Omri tutorial bloopers video? 🤣
Happy new year wirefreaks :)
Greetings and Happy New Year, Omri. I'm very new here and was brought here specifically by your video on the ES-9, among others. I'm wondering If that setup is still current for you given the updates to the ES-9 and VCV Rack2? Do you use the same setup with Ableton in the mix as when you use it alone with Rack2? Do you have a Hosted and a Standalone configuration? And finally, how do you integrate the ES-9 with your main audio interface (I've got an Apollo x6)? Thanks for any info and keep on doing what you do so well!!
Hi Omri! I was wondering if you could give a tip or two on how to build that Serge type sound (Michael Stears, Telomere). I'm hoping now that VCV2 is out you will eventually be able to make a whole video on that, but I know you're very busy right now. If you have any suggestions in the interim I'd appreciate any tips you might have. Cheers!
Hi Omri, I would be highly interested to find how to sequence some harmonics on a bassline held note (I mean adding and removing harmonics in a sequence) 😅
Hi! I'm not so sure I understand do you mean like holding one note and let the sequence sequence this to other notes? Or maybe having a bassline, and then other voices coming in and out according to the harmonic series?
What does "opalach" mean? :)
Hi Omri, do you have any beginner tips for using reverb in sound design, in software or hardware?
I'd like to have some of you analysis of how Four Tet achieve the intro of his set in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAYtpYfTCMA I think some patching techniques inspired from that intro would be useful in multiple projects of mine
Hi Omri, Happy New Year! I have a few questions that maybe you can help with. In Bitwig VCV2 pro plugin, how do you connect to the ES-9? I would like to patch into some of my hardware and in the plugin version of VCV2, The Audio 16 Module only shows DAW as available for Driver and Device. Is this a limitation for the VCV2 Plugin? Is there something that needs to be done somewhere to allow it to show? Also, do you ever mess around with the Pulsar 23? Thanks a million for all you do!
Hello, Omri, and first of all, Happy New Year! There is an old-enough ambient track made by Rod Modell: "Electromagnetic-Etheric Systems Approach". I am interested in how can I make some kind of pulsing chords basement in VCV like Rod Modell did in his track. I tried several times, but the results are not so smooth and interesting. Could you please help me or show some basics/direction how to recreate such a sound?
Any chance on an Autechre FM glitched rack tutorial?
Did you decide how you are going to share your patches and update them for VCV Rack2 compatibility?
I'm not so sure I understand... Do you mean the patches from the older videos?
Hey Omri, any tips or suggestions on workflow with Ableton Live and VCV Rack 2 VST? Start and stop with host clock, using host MIDI to play in VST, etc? If not, thanks anyways. Cheers!
Hi Omri. I caught a short video that you posted on the VCV Rack Reddit using some of the Fundamental Modules to create a gritty ambient patch almost Strega like and would love to see you patch maybe a similar small or fixed rack to explore the more experimental side of things.
