October Q&A

Is there a way to trigger the ability to randomize a module's settings? Or is that a function of the vcv software?

How do you do your YouTube shorts? Do you film the screen with your camera or are you using screen casting software to record the screen and water?

I'm addicted to Krell patching and got a bit bored of using Rampage. I was wondering if you could show a few more of your favorite Function generators to create the same effect but with other variations or perhaps you can propose more advanced Krell alternatives (ex. with probabilities etc).

Hi Omri, I would like to ask if there is any equivalent to the Slop module from TriggerFish in vcv rack 2? Or even better, how to recreate its functionality with other modules. Thank you and kind regards!

Hi Omri! I was wondering if you would share your thoughts/suggestions in regards to a minimalist fixed rack, for the purpose of exploring/practicing on a smaller system within VCV Rack that could translate well into budget friendly entry point into hardware purchases. 3U/84 HP for a strict Minimalist rack or maybe 6U/168 HP for a system to grow into. Thank you for your time!

I'd like to see if it is possible to split polyphony out as you did with the hocketing so I can get harmonising to happen between the voices.

What do you do when you need more clock modulation than Clocked provides? Do you have a goto divider/multiplier?

Hi Omri, when would you use an exponential VCA instead of an exponential envelope? I look at the exponential knobs on MI Veils and rarely ever touch them unless i'm turning them way up and offsetting the signal so I can bring up line level signals to eurorack.

Hi Omri I would like to be able to patch a self-generating lead part that could be used for a lead solo

Hi Omri! I discovered that randomizing inside the modules with command+R can create cool effects and sounds for example in Plateau and in Vults Opulus. Maybe you can show some modules were randomizing can be cool. All the best! Markus

In the last Plateau sound design video you are using CV as audio. What are the “do’s and don’ts” to keep the speakers safe ?

Omri, your videos have my go to resource for VCV since started messing around with the software. My main musical output has been rock/metal, but I've fallen in love with the world of modular music because it's more fun to make, in my opinion. Do you have any advice on working with VCV in a daw setup and/or just composing electronic music in general?

I love the sound of the Indian tanpura , the droning string instrument. I would love to synthesize something a little bit like that in VCV rack 2. Any ideas of tips? Thanks in advance.

Omri, my man! I'm interested in making a self playing lead sequence in VCV. Do you have any tips/module recommendations? I'm thinking, random gates with different lenghts and probability, pretty much random melodies with some repetition, velocity changes and maybe some kind of changes in articulation. Something that would kinda, almost pass as a human person playing the melody on a keyboard, so I can fool my friends and family into thinking the majority of the time I've put into music wasn't spent with arguing on reddit about what real emo is and which one is the best radiohead album. Thanks in advance!

Hi Omri! I remember you used to have a video about Steve Reich's music techniques applied to VCV Rack. I've been listening a lot of "Music for 18 musician" this last month and I wanted to make some patches inspired by it. I would love to hear your insights and ideas, even a full video on Reich's techniques. Thank you for your work and dedication :)

Hello Omri! I have been trying to figure out this track by Florian Kupfer-"Chaparral Roots". To create something similar for a dance performance. It seems like its just 2-3 different minimal rhythmic elements mixed together. I think the one voice could be made with Kickball. There is a lot of filtering on the hand drum sounds and some nice delay effects on the cymbal. I wonder if you could help me with any insight? As always, much appreciated, thank you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYlpu7V1Cvg

Hi omri, I would be interested in your strategies for free improvisation with vcv, eurorack and hybrid

I am interested in understanding how to use the strummer in Orange Line's Gator, as well as the Strummer in NYSTHI.

Hi omri, it would be good if you could show some examples of looping techniques
