I'm always wondering if this could play serum through it for effects

Great and useful tuto thanks

Great patching!

your music and art is just magnificent I grant you my subscription hails from drauglur from germany

Hi, I've just got a Crave and am trying to work out how to send CV from VCVRack to it. I've got MIDI sending already using CV to MIDI from VCVRack. I haven't taken the plunge on an audio interface yet. For your LFOs and the Walk, do you have a DC-coupled interface with at least 3 outputs (I assume 4), and they appear in the AUDIO module for mapping each of the CV sources? Then those outputs sent into the Crave as shown? Something like the MOTU M4? Thanks.

Great work!

An observation re the comments made around 11:05 in this otherwise excellent and highly instructional vid. - the bug no longer seems to be an issue, ( I'm using VCV Rack 2.4.1 and Expert Sleepers ES-9 firmware 1.3.1), so there is no longer any need to feed a >1V source into the ES-5 virtual module at jacks 2 and 5, (it is still important to feed only the ES5 virtual module's jack 1 from the 8GT virtual module and only the ES5 virtual module's jack 4 from the 8CV virtual module though, or the set up described, won't work). Also, I have found that it's similarly vital to set the Audio 16 VCV Rack module's "Rate" to 44.1kHz, since if left at the default 48kHz (as in the vid), the real-world jacks on my ESX-8CV module go purple, (and belch out some form of audio-rate junk), rather than visibly alternating red/blue as shown in the vid., when fed with a reasonable rate LFO signal. Hope this helps others who got stuck at this point as I did.

Excellent video Paul. ES make some very desirable modules. And this in-depth tutorial is highly informative and greatly appreciated.

thanks for your turorial! one more important thing,don;forget to set your es9 config.channl 7&8 to es5Land es5R

This video really helped. You are the man! God bless.

Really an nice piece of music!!!

what a enjoyable and relaxing video

Most of us: "Let me present to you a humble 4 minute synth jam." Paul: "Hold my full album inside one track recorded in one go." This is out of this world good, deep respect (but I still like EVE Online better lol).

Nice job!

Very nice music! You are a real VCV Rack master!

my microphone records some clicking sounds and it is vcv rack-specific, is there a way to filter these clicks out

I can’t even get audio from es-9 into Ableton or VCV rack. Spent 15 hours trying to get it work. Id warn anyone thinking of buy ES-9 to run away. It’s garbage.

Congratulations, this is an amazing track. Well done ! And it shows the power of VCV Rack. I will have to dive deeper into it.

The issue I keep having w the wavetable mode is that the pitch of the granular fx gets very non diatonic(due to feedback + the way it handled pitch cv) when using it, any ideas how to get around that? I can only patch so many wavetable drones before I get bored lol

Man, I could really use your help, to understand something that I've searched and couldn't find the answer yet. You have Southpole modules in your patch and I would love to have some modules from the early versions of VCV, but I don't see how to achieve that and I explain. I was somewhat late to find VCV and the first version I've downloaded, was already 1. something and I've never seen a Southpole module, until I watched it in some You Tube videos and realized that in the 1.1.6 version they were no longer available. First question, do you have them because you could keep them through the upgrades ? If yes, is that the way it worked in VCV 0.3 and on ? The real help would be, for you to know (and tell me), if there is a way, of downloading the earlier versions of VCV's modules to use in 1.1.6 version ? I've downloaded and installed, a 0.5 version but it replaces the 1.1.6. That is why, when I saw your patch, I was amazed and hopeful, to see that you still have Southpole modules (I am assuming that your patch was made with a 1.1.6 version). Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on the matter.

Found this software on recommendation of the MCDM discord server for use for this exact purpose. A humorous surprise to be met with a quote from Strongholds and Followers.

Nice drone!

Ok, I’m buying it.

Little confused on how to send audio from my computer>interface to the ES-9

Man, this music is so beautiful. It would go really well with the space night erth view broadcasts of br alpha. I've also been in a space vibe lately. Last week I even installed the games Hellion and Elite Dangerous again. After only a year's break, I've completely forgotten how to fly^^.

Beautiful

Very beautiful ambient sound. I also like the yellow lights on a white background. It reminds me a bit of a warm Xmas evening, with snow-covered streets and candlelight^^.

Beau patch 👍🙂

Really nice Paul, you're good at the space music thing. Did you use video from your own gameplay? Are you using an AS phaser?

Well, that was relaxing. Nicely done!

Looks amazing

Wow great sound!

Very nice patch,great composition

Great Video. Do exist some possibility to make Ableton slave sync with send hardware master clock with dc coupled inputs ? Or do You have other Idea how to clock ableton as slave with modular hardware with es-9 without MIDI ES-9

Is vcv2 demands less cpu than vcv1?

Nice work Paul, well done!!

What are the strings made of?

Nice piece Paul, great sound!

6:40 beautiful rhythm fading in, great stuff as usual Paul!

Très beau patch, Paul 🙂. Une réussite 👍

Thank you for this... just installed my ES-5 today and was pulling my hair out trying to get all 8 jacks to work correctly with VCV.

Hi. Thanks for the comment about service manuals on my recent video. Unfortunately, KZbin is auto-deleting some comments that contain links at the moment. I did get the full comment in an email, and I have the service manual now, thanks. Reading the manual is certainly a good idea, but not as much fun 😃 You can delete this comment if you wish, it might be confusing to others who read comments, but it was the only way I could find to reach you and thank you for your comment. Thanks!

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Great stuff Paul!

Nice!

Very niceeee, well done Paul

Nice job. The UI is absolutely stunning!

Hi Paul, Great video on the ES-9. this is one of the most usable instruction video out there. Still struggling how to calibrate this. Do you have any suggestions (i do have the commercial expert sleepers units in vcv)?

Where is the 1.2 es9 confit tool can’t find it anywhere?

Hello! Thanks for sharing! Do you by any chance know if I can get a copy of the older BPM LFO (Frozen Wasteland) that you used in the video? Thank you!
