When you come up with ideas, how do you keep yourself from overcomplicating things and muddying up the sound? All of your patches are so perfectly simple and clean, I have trouble not modulating everything haha.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

That's a good question...

[@Almanacs]

Thanks for sharing this, Omri! your patch ideas and creative are always a refreshing view on modular 🖤

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@lulwutmusic]

I legit enjoyed that - I'm gonna put so much movement in my VCV tracks from now on!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jakubciupinski]

As always, fantastic video, thank you Omri! Routing that voice through a switch to different FX is just brilliant, will definitely use that!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hey, thanks so much!

[@Pheekofc]

Probably my favorite video of you so far and god know how many I watched in the last months

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks :)

[@aanderlini]

This is excellent! Really helpful as a person trying to learn VCV. Sincerest gratitude for all of the hard work and time you spend making these videos!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you so much!

[@sprtndlx]

been using these tips to make some interesting textures sampling back into Fl21 and doing more effects. Great stuff

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Happy to help!

[@magicalwafflez5395]

Hey, you were telling me about this! Glad to see it in video form

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@focus-sphere]

Keep up publishing great content. Although I've been producing for a long time, I recently decided to dive into modular synthesis. I've started with CardinalSynth which is similar to VCV rack and your videos made a lot of things make sense all of a sudden. Making generative pads and ambient sequences for example, is now something I can do without having my ears bleeding. :D

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I appreciate it, thank you!

[@joshuaharlow4241]

Very nice note on the AD Envelope! Good to know! I am fortunate enough to be in a position to support VCV and I was encouraged by your videos! Thank you! (2nd edit) "Very Nice." =)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

That's great, thanks so much!

[@pietrobevilacqua]

Another passage from the VCV Rack bible by Omri, thanks again!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks again!

[@firstnamelastname3106]

the first patch is just perfect, thanks for your work!

Glad you like it! Thank so much!

New Omri video

Cheers!

[@av.punk.801]

I love the Nutrinode, but i feel like a lot of people sleep of a very similar mod by Sha#BANG that works similarly, just with gravity instead. Lets you use + and - X/Y data as well as Velocity and average outputs for TONS of different modulation options

[@chemicalBR0]

very cool technniques

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hey, thanks so much!

[@stephaneapollo]

Thank you, good overview :) I know you can't show all the modules of VCV, but Geodesics are one of my favorites for random.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Well, I have videos about all of them :) kzbin.info/aero/PLiECaNQx239te8e0gmcC9PIbYXQ2K-7RC

[@stephaneapollo]

@@OmriCohen-Music Yes I've seen 10 of your 12 Geodesics videos, really awesome videos! I've first read all the Geodesics manuals, I thought I understood, I did some tests and saw I didn't get the thing... then I watched your videos and it was cristal clear: you show all the secrets.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

@@stephaneapollo I'm happy I could help :)

[@ursbasteck]

To maybe add to the bit around 1:53 - one can build whole crazy chains of slow sines modulating not quite so slow sines modulating the faster ones that do something. Or even more in between! ;)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Sounds like fun! :)

[@momorarr]

thank you dud

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@pureeschaap]

I need more cables :)

[@conduit-seoir]

What range did you use for the S&H? 0V-3V?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

In which section?

[@adame235]

Sweetness

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@reguerre]

Woaw !!! this is really impressive thanks!! :) I'm looking for a way to "drive" the randomness of the generative synth (Part 2 of your vid :) ) I'would like to give VCV rack orders (in MIDI from Ableton). Orders of scales mostly.....(I would like to keep all of the randomness of the patches, but i'd like it in scale with my ableton project....) Is there any way to do that? (I think I have to make a track in ableton with bridge VST/ random/arpegiator and a scale plug.... but i can't find a way to give these midi's orders to vcv rack ) Anyone? :)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I'm not so sure I understand... Do you want to send Midi from Ableton into VCV?

[@reguerre]

@@OmriCohen-Music A simple way to say things could be "I would like ableton to be my dedicated sequencer and not neutrinode...." (this way I could "constrain" the randomness of the patches with ableton MIDI tools....) I hope I'm understandable :/ (sorry for the bad english and thanks so much for your answer :) )

[@OmriCohen-Music]

@@reguerre Oh ok, I see. Well, you can send Midi with the Bridge VST and sequence things in VCV with Ableton. It's not the most fun way though. I would suggest waiting for the VST version, it will be much easier then...

[@reguerre]

@@OmriCohen-Music Thank you so much dude! But Indeed,the VST 's going to be really easier..... let's wait and see :)

[@dedodan1]

Hello Omri Are you still consider to make a video for beginners? For basics patches? I bought marbles plaits ,stage,vails,rings,yarns,instruo arbhar with expansión module and harmonaig then pamela new work out, watable vco erica synth, make noise mimeophon,enforphine squawk dirty to me, fx aid xl happy nerding, befaco mix and midi think ,pico out i want make generative ambient chilli music Then i will send you a nice wine from italy if you send me an address where to shipping coffee is not good idea 😂😁 Hope to hear from you

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hi! It sounds like a really fun setup you have there :) About beginner videos, I have a whole series but not on KZbin - gumroad.com/l/modularbasics I hope to create more things like this.

[@dedodan1]

@@OmriCohen-Music thanks Omri yes I guess will be fun once i learn,i make like the guy that buy before the ferrari and then take the driver license 😂
