a Great Technique for Unique Pads

[@bleedingkansan]

The musicality is so effective. Your blending of the tools and your profound musical sense are deeply inspiring.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I appreciate it, thanks so much!

[@pburress]

Cinematic‼️ You are like the Hans Zimmer of VCV rack and modular. And you can mix it up and make it look so easy with the psytrance and techno genres, among others. 👍🏻

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I appreciate it, thanks so much!

Hello, every time I watch one of your videos, I learn a lot. I've been using VCV since 2019, and as soon as I discovered your youtube channel, it enriched me for my creations. Thank you

[@OmriCohen-Music]

That's amazing, thanks so much!

[@elmo2you]

The short piece starting around @10:53 almost had me in tears .. it reminded me of VNV Nation, in particular the pads their "Distant [Rubicon 2]". Just that will argue and defend that with these pads you just made, that original song would even sound better and more emotional than it already did. Thank, for sharing this brilliant idea, as well as this particular sounds. EDIT: the parts you played after that were even more beautiful .. I could listen to those for hours.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you so much! I also really liked that, and I hope to turn it into something longer in the future :)

[@bone666138]

This pad is astonishing

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you like it!

[@rickglasser]

That turned out to be a really beautiful pad. Well done, Omri! 😊

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

You’re on fire with this one 🎉

Cheers!

I'M NOT WORTHY!!!! Mr. Cohen, you have taught me so much, and I continue to learn even more! I've started my journey into taking music theory classes and aural training classes thanks to your tutorials and it's opened up whole new worlds of creativity for me. I owe you so much.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

That's amazing! I'm grateful I can be a part of your musical journey :) Thanks for the support and all the best!

@@OmriCohen-Music Love The Channel brother! Do you know of anything close in vcv rack to the rainmaker multitap delay module? I am trying to get unique random melodic loops from audio samples.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

@@deanivan3951 thanks! Have a look at frozen wasteland. There a module there inspired by it

Stunning sound design.

Thanks!

cant wait to dig into this one! I love the tonal quality of it! Sad, yet bright.

There's definitely lots to explore here. Have fun!

I was looking exactly for this kind of pads, they're beautiful. Thank you so much

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Wahou! Great technique

Great technique, beautiful sounds. You built hydrasynth in vcv rack!

[@adamsmith5598]

I should start doing all of my pads like this 🙂

[@DavidPasajero]

Sounds Amazing ! Thank you !!! ❤

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you too!

[@VirtualModular]

Ha I was thinking of making exactly this video the other day, you beat me to it! The pad at the end sounded great, but I was expecting you to resample the whole thing 😉 Personally I don't find any of the native VCV module samplers that good, so I bought Pigments for this. I do a lot of resampling VCV but it's a slightly different process. I usually make texture patches with stuff like filter pings and sample that as a layer. Sometimes I take a whole finished patch and just set all the quantisers to octaves, record parts, edit in Audacity to loop it perfectly then load the samples into Pigments. Sometimes I also sample single notes with loads of VCV effects, then use parts of that. You can also use the granular engine in Pigments and add more effects. Endless possibilities for sound design 😀

[@OmriCohen-Music]

For a long time now I've been wanting to give Pigments a try. I will have to get it at one point... Sound-design heaven!

[@VirtualModular]

@@OmriCohen-Music I got it quite cheap, try to pick it up next time it's on sale! I got it through a reseller but Arturia usually do special pricing too if you have any of their products. The sampling/granular engine is excellent and sounds very clean when you play stuff back at a different pitch. It's not always obvious what type of sounds are going to work resampled but that's the fun part with experimenting. It's quite often the things you don't expect to work that sound amazing 😉

[@lyxnick]

Not VCV related at all, but loads of Juno soft-synths are my way of pad layering....cliche maybe, but still sounds soooo good 😊Though I'm defo gonna try this sample method 👍

[@lushbeard]

So next step is to simulate Juno in VCV 😁

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, that can work great! Imagine layering them with some granular stuff from VCV, and some field recordings... This can be so good!

[@richardhodson6910]

Hanz Zimmer!!! Beautiful....

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks :)

[@nakedversemusic]

Awesome Looking forward to it ;)

[@HyperstationJR]

This is an old technique from the days old old school samplers. I think it was used a lot for mid- to late-90’s jungle and drum and bass.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, and it's still very effective and fun :) There's so much to explore...

[@Izofly666]

Could you tell me what scale you're playing in at 10:58? 😁 I'm melting away!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks :) It's C minor so Cm, F, Cm, G

[@ionicamarian352]

Pure awesomeness

[@OmriCohen-Music]

This is so much fun!

[@paulwright7564]

Very cool. Trying to get my head around using found or recorded sounds but NOT using a midi keyboard, perhaps as part of a generative patch. Playing the sound once is fine (you can just load up the audio file), but then how you transpose it to give you that pad like texture

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks! Yeah, using found sound might be tricky sometimes. I think that the more you work on the sound before you use it, the easier it will be when you build your patch. For example, finding loop-points, transposing when needed, removing noise, etc. It can be tedious at times, but when you finally sit down to compose, you can concentrate on composing rather than troubleshooting samples. I hope it makes sense...

[@paulwright7564]

Thanks@@OmriCohen-Music...mmm, I think I was headed that way too...actually manipulate the single sound into a 'chord' and then use a sequencer or something to vary it (to mimic playing it on a keyboard)...either that or set up (say) three instances of the sound (as duplicates are easy in VCV) and make them travel through a chord sequence together....or use the sample as the root and see if I can offset the signal (but trying to work out if I do this before the sampler or afterwards)...I'm still learning 🤣🤣

[@tonybell1597]

Superb….

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@dantenenbaum6288]

This is great! I'm having some trouble making it polyphonic though. i've enabled 3 polyphonic channels/voices in the right-click menu of the MIDI-CV module, and tried the different polyphonic modes, but when I press more than one key at once on the midi controller, I get silence, and even playing one key at a time, I only hear sound every few notes. If I set Polyphony Channels to Monophonic, everything sounds fine, but of course it's monophonic. Am I missing a setting somewhere? EDIT: Figured it out - the problem had nothing to do with sickoSampler but I was sending two polyphonic cables from the outputs of sickoSampler to a Gig Bus module. All I needed to do was just send one.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad it's working for you :) Have fun!
