Glitchy Ambience | VCV Rack

Most patches I create never make it to KZbin because I feel like I'm still learning far more than creating. But this patch is one I've been tinkering with off and on for months and finally decided to post here. It's a fairly basic ambient collection of generative melodies and textures, but I particularly like the occasional glitchy texturing added thanks to the T-Wrex from Alright Devices.

Are each of those things doing something? I don't know the program so I'm curious. Like is each visual component or box I'm seeing there all lending to create this overall sound?

Yeah, every module has a purpose. Some create the sounds you hear, some filter that sound to shape it, some tell the sounds when (and how) to play, some modulate--or change--the sound over time, and some effect the sounds (reverb, delay, etc). And all those colorful lines running between them are the virtual patch cables sending signals between them, connecting them all. It can definitely look confusing at first (it definitely was to me when I was first introduced to modular synthesis a few years ago), but it's actually surprisingly simple. There are really only a handful of basic building blocks, but the complexity is in the multitude of ways they can be connected together. And the fun is in all the experimentation of finding new ways to create new, unique sounds.

@@sth9160 So cool. Reminds me of playing Factorio or something.
