Patch Walkthrough - Self playing generative patch
Hi all!
Here's another patch walkthrough. This one is for a self-playing generative patch I built the other day. You can see the recording of the patch here - https://youtu.be/VOUPzkSZkBs
Just in case, I uploaded it to the patreon youtube page as well - https://youtu.be/9oUb7SIkt_s
I also uploaded the patch and samples I used so you can go through the patch together with the video.
Thanks again so much!

I know this patch has been up here for quite a while. I've been wanting to try it, and so I did. I've noticed that there's quite a bit of popping on my end with this patch. Is there any way I can find out where it's coming from?
Hi! I just tried it and it worked quite nicely... Maybe try raising the block size, and set a different number of threads.
This is amazing! This truly is in the realm of ‘proper modular’… Watching this has given me some insight into how folk like State Azure set up their modular sessions. I need to train my brain to think like this but this has been a great help. I’m going to go through this video several times and try recreate the patch, rather than simply downloading it. I find I learn better from doing it this way. Cheers man! 👍
Hey, great! I'm happy you liked it :) Yeah, building on your own is the better way to learn, totally. Have fun!
You know you have a module problem when you open that patch and it doesn't prompt you about any missing modules ;). Thanks for this walkthrough Omri! Given that sequencing multiple voices is usually one of the toughest problems for me I found it extremely valuable to see some ways to do it.
Haha, yes. That's so true 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!
Hi Omri, just joined the here on Patreon and have noticed an issue - the samples do not load automatically when the patch is loaded. I had to manually load the samples into their respective devices, and after that the patch seems to work okay. Is the VCO channel supposed to keep repeating its delayed signal for so long after the patch finishes? It's been several minutes and it is still echoing away in the background. This is a beautiful patch. I'd been hoping this would be a step-by-step build tutorial, but I think I just need to watch the video a few times to figure out what's being done here. I do understand why you may not have wanted to do a full build walkthrough as it probably took you hours to build this.
Hi! Thanks so much for joining :) Yes, that's a known issue with various samplers in VCV. But I tried to name things as clearly as possible so you know which sample goes where. About the VCO, yes, it's supposed to fade out so slowly :) It makes sense in the context of the patch. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to try and help you out!
Thanks Omri! Just joined up, greetings to you and the community here! 🙏 Have been enjoying your Youtube videos for a while now, and am super happy to be here! Your patches have given me much food for thought 🍄, as i patch away on my eurorack/Matriarch system. Peace and beeps 👾✨
Hey, thanks so much! Great to have you here :)
