March Q&A

Hello Omri! Another controller question. In v1, we had the Iverson module that was designed to work with the APC mini. Are there other trigger sequencers that you know of that could be mapped to that type of controller that are easy to map? As a follow up to a question I once asked about recipes, in your videos I can see that you always know the right ingredients you want to add depending on the style. I was watching an interview with Surgeon and he mentions his minimal approach: 1 or two synth voices, samples, and a couple of drums. How do you know when is enough? And how to keep it groovy and exciting? Abstract questions I know, but I am curious about your perspective. Thank you!!!

I’m a total beginner and really enjoy and learn a lot form your videos, but when I sit down and try patching from scratch, I get lost and find it difficult to make things happen. Any advice on how to get through this roadblock?

Hi, since Jakub from Midilar controler stop producing them, what are the alternative and the pros and cons of them? Cheers. Damien

hi there, i would like to use my ES-9 as a hardware mixer (like any HW mixer) for my DAW; can you show us how to do this? i guess a faderbank of some sort would be necessary and some configuration as well? thanks, yours truly, Dirk

Hello Omri, how do you sort and keep track of al your project audio files and ideas between VCV and the DAW? Do you pack every file in a compressed file or do you for example use a library share with exported selections categorized? In Ableton you can "pack" everything and save it all together, is there a way in VCV that you can do the same when samples are included? Or just save in one folder and compress it? Any practical tips are very welcome. Thank you! Kris.

Omri - Thank you so much for your videos! I consistently have issues with VCV sequencers not starting with my DAW (I have searched the forum and it seems to be a common issue; if the the VCV seq is stopped while 'hot' it will not receive the next Start signal properly). Do you have any secrets for keeping DAW and VCV in sync after multiple start/stops?

Hi Omri and thanks once again for gathering together this interesting community. Let’s imagine that you have to leave for 6 months to a desert island (with power supply) and due to travel restrictions you can bring with you only an eurorack case 1row 3U and 64hp wide. Which of the modules you own would you bring with you?

Hello, I'm a big Skee Mask fan and would love some of your input on his pattern programming and sound design. https://youtu.be/zfM9COkV6s4

Hey Omri, Thank you so much for all the content you share with us. I am producing Drum and Bass usually in a DAW but I'm trying to make interesting basslines inside VCV. Could you show us how you would approach making dark neuro bass inside VCV Rack? Wide, lots of distortion, filtering and movement but not many notes to keep it as dark as possible. I tried to use Nozoïd VCF to get interesting movements by morphing between LPF, HPF and BPF but I haven't had much success. The goal would be to make sampling material to rearrange inside a DAW. Cheers
