Better Ambient Pads - VCV Rack Tutorial

Here's another VCV sound design tutorial, looking at how to make huge sounding ambient pads. Concepts include stacking oscillators, introducing subtle analogue-style detuning, pitch drift/unison, polyphonic modulation and some more unsual effects.

Great work! when I find the time I'll check the whole thing.

@@matthewpainemusic4322 cheers, ended up being far too long so not surprised if people don't watch all of it! You're welcome to nick the patches and see what you can do with them though. They're quite CPU intensive, it's basically a whole patch to make one sound. If you have the Pro VST, I would use that and then freeze the audio to add more stuff, or just sample it.

wow love your channel - ambient drone learning is great

[@VirtualModular]

Thanks! There's some overlap with the ambient drone video, a few of the techniques are the same but used in a different way. Plenty more ideas coming soon, it's just finding the time to make tutorials.👍

Cheers, turned out a lot longer than I planned 😉
