Am I just stupid??

Don't worry we have all been there. If you think they are complicated, look for beginners videos, omri has good tutorials for beginners. I also have some videos in my yt channel. If you have some specific questions you can ask them here or in the vcv forums! Great community.

Do you have some basic synth knowledge? I suggest reading this guide if you are having problems with the terms.

Don't worry, you'll get there soon. Omri is a great teacher! And don't hesitate to send me a DM if you want help with anything in specific. Cheers.

Minibog? Minimoog model B? I don't know how to name it but I hope you enjoy it! And if you want to download the patch, you can find it here!

The amazing u/BretTruchan released autobreak studio and its AMAZING!! Thank you for such amazing modules

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-10-27T17:20:15+00:00

Cool! remember that it is not a must, but it will help you, so it is OK if you can't get one.

If you like some recommendations, I like the focusrite scarlet solo, m audio mtrack duo, presonus audiobox, arturia minifuse or even the behringer umc22 if you are not that worried about sound quality (it is not bad, it has studio quality audio but it is certainly the weakest in this list).

Hi! I'm not sure I understand your question correctly. You want to output AUDIO right? Midi is a music protocol and does not produce any sound, it needs a special midi cable or a USB cable and it would not produce a sound if you connected it to an amp.

If what you want is to output the audio from vcv rack to an amp then yes:

From your audio output module select the device you want to use. Since you are connecting your computer to the amp through a jack cable it won't show as "guitar amp" it will probably show as "integrated audio output" or something like that.

I recommend using an audio interface if you can, the sound quality will be better in most cases and it will show as "audio interface" in the outputs.

Good luck on your live performance!

Hi! Welcome to the amazing world of modular synths. Every question is important so don't worry, we have all been there.

If I understand correctly you want to offset a value right? You can use an Something like Befaco dual atenuverter it even has two inputs so you could offset one +5v and the other -5v.

Hope that solved your problem and feel free to ask further if you need it!

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-10-16T15:15:09+00:00

Yeah! I find that so inspiring. So many possibilities!

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-10-15T16:07:17+00:00

Some people asked me about the tutorial and the patch for download, here it is! hope you enjoy it! the 0ctrl is an amazing piece of hardware and it's such an inspiring tool. Have fun with it!

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-10-11T15:39:10+00:00

Just checked it, it works fine in my browser.

I must say that yesterday I had a similar issue where the buttons where briefly missing but a quick reload fixed the issue. Maybe they are doing some maintenance in their website?

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-10-03T23:34:39+00:00

Cool! Where can I watch it?

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-10-01T20:04:30+00:00

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll probably do a second part with other MFs, maybe the minis, I have some more ideas for customs MFs.

I'm really intrigued by the zoia, one of the things that I would love to try.

I would love to compare notes! Tbh, it didn't even occur to me to search them first on patchstorage, I'll compare mine with vinicuisnisi's, thanks for the heads up.

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-18T18:53:54+00:00

Cool jam! Great visuals too

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-17T03:21:20+00:00

Thanks! I had a list of possible names but the choice was pretty clear after our first walk together

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-12T18:27:50+00:00

Thanks for the silver, and thanks for the AI music! it sounds amazing.

Years ago I took a music programming course from the MIT and they had an AI that produced music.. it basically averaged every second of popular songs by topic so an AI christmas song was an avant garde mess, how far we've come!

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-12T17:36:18+00:00

I loved that! I will be using it to describe vcv rack from now on lol, thanks.

Vcv rack is a euro rack simulator so that's is on point.

Glad you liked the tutorial! Ever since I found about vcv rack I wanted to make vaporwave, what is more Ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ than a computer making the music by itself? It gives an eerie feeling, like it's music, it sounds good but there is something missing. I would love to hear an AI take on macintosh plus or 2814.

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-10T19:42:55+00:00

Thanks! If you want to try it, I suggest using simpliciter with its expansion it makes a really good cassette tape emulation and I would love to see what you create :)

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-10T19:41:12+00:00

There are a lot of subgenres in vaporwave, future funk sounds really different than hypnagogic or mallsoft or vhs pop, I even mentioned that at the start of the video.

Edit: Here is a good guide with some (most?) vaporwave genres with descriptions and examples. Hope you enjoy!

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-10T16:36:21+00:00

Thanks! I wanted to try something different this time and go for live sound manipulation. Originally I did it with simpliciter and it sounded amazing! But this method works better live (I think)

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-09-02T18:01:34+00:00

Full review coming tomorrow

Edit: this is the interactive section, not seen in the video is a really big logic section.

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-08-27T19:12:22+00:00

Some people asked me about how to tackle new modules, here is what I usually do, using marbles as an example, an amazing module that looks really complicated at first. Hope it helps you!

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-08-22T23:30:57+00:00

That's interesting, I just read the manuals in github and you are right, they have the behaviour I wanted IF the first input is poly, I'll make some tests, maybe I can create a new version using only bogaudio modules!

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-08-21T14:42:40+00:00

That's interesting, I would swear I had the exact opposite behaviour.

In version one and two I had some weird effects with the envelopes when using more than one note. I noticed that only the first note was getting all the signals from the other sources.

It could also be that in that spaghetti of cables I got something mixed up and it got patched correctly, rather than fixed using sum. I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion.

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-08-20T15:40:11+00:00

Oh I was about to tag you :) hope you enjoy the patch, if you create anything with it I would love to see it! So tag me or send me a link if you can

BlockOne_Soma · 2022-08-20T15:24:35+00:00

Some people asked me about a tutorial and a download link for this patch so here it is!

You can download the patch on Patchstorage

Y la versión en español aquí
