Experiment with Rhythms with the Rhythm Explorer

[@DaveBenhamMusic]

Thank you for for featuring the Rhythm Explorer from my Venom plugin! Great job demonstrating many of the features quickly in a way that lowers the intimidation factor and invites exploration. But then, that is what you always do so well! I particularly liked the pitch sequencing example - I recently combined gates to generate pitch CV in a patch, but never thought to apply that concept to Rhythm Explorer. If anyone has questions about any of the Rhythm Explorer features, feel free to post a question on the VCV Community forum - I am active there and will do my best to answer quickly.

Hey, Dave, thank you so much! Your collection is definitely worth exploring and experimenting with!

Oh wow! What a brilliant thing… I’m going to download that right away (well, after dinner) and have a play. Funnily enough, I was playing with the Tabla module before I sat down to dinner so that was a nice bit of serendipity. Cheers Omri! 🍄

Hey, thanks! Have fun!

[@DaveBenhamMusic]

Oh my goodness - I just realized I forgot to give the RAND input a brass core! It is polyphonic, with channels 1-8 directed to the individual division channels so each can get its own independent "random" input. Also the OR, XOR ODD, and XOR 1 outputs should have brass cores because they will be polyphonic if any of the division channel modes are set to "All - New". The documentation properly describes the polyphonic behaviors; just the brass cores are missing.

This is perfect! I really love this - I think it will help me grow in rhythm in great ways, from providing unique patterns to helping me understand what works well in grooves or not. Your tabla patch was fantastic! Especially when the kick drums came in, was just epic and massive! Thank you once again for your excellent tutorials! You're such a good teacher and demonstrator.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I appreciate it, thanks so much!

[@GeorgCarlson]

excellent. a few new tricks learned!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@ptredhead]

Thank you for making such fun and educational videos! I'm new to VCV Rack and your videos are helping a lot. Someday I hope to understand everything in your videos but I always learn something from them 😅

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you so much!

Great one

Tabla patch 👌🏼👌🏼

[@NealSanche]

Such a cool module!

[@kiwanoish]

Thank you for great videos! Excuse the noob questions but, Im a little confused about the 24ppqn. How do I know that clocked is outputting 1 ppqn? Is that standard for a clock device? Also, if I'm sending clock from Bitwig to it, how do I know what ppqn is being used and thus what I need to multiply it with?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hi! No worries :) PPQN is basically the clock multiplication you use. For example, a clock multiplied by 4 is 4PPQN, or 4 pulses per quarter note. In many cases, 24 PPQN is used, so you need a clock multiplication of 24 for getting quarter notes.

[@kiwanoish]

@@OmriCohen-Music Ok, thanks! I think I've been a bit confused about this concept for some time since it seems that different clock devices (e.g. Pam's NW) output at different PPQN. But, then essentially, if it says 'clock out' (on basically any device) and a multiplier like x4, I guess I can take for granted that it would mean 4 PPQN.

Thanks for sharing ;-)

😀Nice Omri, Amazing...

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@chrisgartenmann4513]

Love it. EXCEPT Mine is a beat behind the clocked tempo and all my sequencers. Any work around?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Just to make sure, did you reset everything? Feel free to send me the patch and I will have a look.

[@chrisgartenmann4513]

@@OmriCohen-Music Will get you a patch soon. I think I found the issue, you need to reset on the module itself, not from clocked. Or at least that is what worked for me.

[@ComboGod27]

nice video, thanks! I didn't get how does the dice change the rhythm? when you push the dice the rhythem dies change but I don't see any of the slides move. Doesn't the rhythm come from the slide density?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Well, it's working with internal randomness, more or less, so different “algorithms” will result in different rhythms. The sliders are something like probability, and the dice will have control over that.

[@ComboGod27]

@@OmriCohen-Music ahhh OK. I actually get it now. For instance if a slide was on 70 percent it will still stay 70 probability but it will just change the positions of the gates along the "timeline" . Right?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

@@ComboGod27 Indeed :)

[@DJminiLibra]

Have you an video form rhythm noise generator for perfekt for rumble?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hi, is the rhythm noise generator a specific module in VCV? Let me know and I'll have a look
