Thank you so much for creating this wonderful tutorial/demo for my new VCO - it was really needed! And the comments here about the module also mean a lot to me - thanks everyone! I have been dreaming about creating a VCO like this for a couple years, and am thrilled with the results. But I was almost panicking at the thought of trying to create a tutorial myself. You covered so much material in a relatively short amount of time - amazing. And I learned something - I had never thought about driving 0 Hz carrier mode via phase - love it! Note to everyone - the "Mix" phase is actually a global phase that affects the core VCO phasor, before any mixing, so it affects all waveforms equally. I hope users take the time to read the documentation, 'cuz there are yet more details that Omri could not fit into the video. And if anyone has questions, please don't hesitate to post a question in the VCV Community Forum. Or if you are shy, you can email me - contact info is in my VCV library pages, and also in the module context menu under "Info".

Hey man, thanks for creating some amazing VCV Rack kit to explore, I love the Venom collection!

[@coco805]

Awesome module Dave! I love the design.

[@DaveBenhamMusic]

@@chitlun and @coco805 That is wonderful to hear - thanks!

[@somegeezer]

This looks like one of the most interesting VCOs I've seen in Rack so far. So much possibility.

[@daniquewesterveld]

That sounds awesome. Thank you Omri, I've learned more from this tutorial than me playing around with it for a few days. Also, please don't feel like you need to apologise for the length of these vids. The more info, the better. 👍

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I appreciate it!

[@sv_gravity]

And I thought Rack module development plateaued, hold my beer!

[@DaveBenhamMusic]

A great way to explore phase distortion is to send a pure saw or ramp wave (maybe from VCO Lab) through Reformation, and then to 0Hz Carrier VCO Lab phase input. You can explore all sorts of phase (phasor) distortion via the Reformation. The ultimate might be to simply use ShapeMaster as the phasor driving the 0Hz Carrier VCO Lab phase.

[@DeanPachano]

Nice! I was waiting for a video on this!!

[@angrytoken]

Phase distortion very good!

[@GeorgCarlson]

whoa, what a beast of a VCO, and as usual, you make it look easy @OmriCohen Thanks for the deep-dive

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Much appreciated!

[@aerophylix4790]

So much depth. Love it. Sometimes i long for some of this great functionality with less “remember all these quirks” workflow. Being able to tune the different shapes seems like something obvious that i miss quite a lot. The 40% trick seems like a strange way yo get around tuning one up an octave, etc.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, I also missed it at the beginning, but it's nice having some limitations that open up doors to other creative ideas like modulating phase. It's also easy enough to have 2 or 3 Labs just in case.

[@joseph.nicolaus]

just wow and just thanx ...

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@bricelory9534]

What an amazing module and a really inspiring tutorial/introduction. You are a great teacher and inspiring musician! I love your work!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Wow, thank you!

[@dedicatedspuddler7641]

This sounds amazing!

[@coco805]

Wow, I love modules that eat CV for breakfast. This one eats a full 3 meals of CV! Omri, you know just what to feed this beast to get the good sounds out. Thanks for the demo

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@lungaoson8374]

Amazing! ❤

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you! 😄

[@Sequentonal]

love this one. particularly the last patch you added with the complex wave form. it has the most interesting soundscape but you dont explain it in any detail...

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you like it!

[@lui6623]

Thanks for sharing

[@wimwijn1]

great sounds, and great examples, thx Omri

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers, Wim!

[@TheVoltar100]

Very Nice tutorial!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@jaibhimadevi5805]

There's always at least one, usually several, "Ooh, I didn't even think of that" moments in an Omri deep-dive video :D One dev/module set that IMHO deserves a re-visit is the Frequency Domain stuff- you did a Ball of Confusion video in 2020, but I'm guessing more than a few users find them intimidating to try jumping into. FFT/iFFT-based processing is very powerful, but not quite as intuitive as ye olde analogue methods.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks! I will see what I can do :)

[@chitlun]

Wow!This is incredible. What a deep bit of kit… Serious kudos to the Developer on this one 👌 I really like what Venom are producing, really interesting stuff. Would you consider doing a video on the Benjolin Oscillator coz that thing is a mystery to me. I’ve had a play around with it but couldn’t do much beside make whacky noises that would’ve suited some Sci-Fi B movie ;) Cheers for this wonderful insight though man, this is going to keep me busy for some time methinks! 🍄

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Yeah, it's on my list :)

[@dillipphunbar7924]

Your continued work with vcvrack is much appreciated. Thankyou.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@Kuchengesang]

Tnx for this great video.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@noname85808]

wow wow wow 🤯

[@joeymc5272]

Hey omri not to get off topic of the video but do you ever send vcos from vcv rack into your rack and back into vcv? I saw your video using vcv sequencers for your rack vcos but an example would be send pitch from hardware sequencer to vcv vco, sending vcv vco output into hardware envelope or lpg, and then back into vcv?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hi, I did try that a few times, but sending signals back and forth adds a lot of latency, so I'm not doing this so often.

[@joeymc5272]

@@OmriCohen-Music oh ok. Thanks Omri once again i appreciate you getting back to me. I have tried it a couple of times now with that same problem of latency. Not sure if its something that can ever get resolved in later firmwares but one can hope. Its a lot of back and forth so latency is expected.

[@sv_gravity]

Do you often in general run Rack engine at 96 kHz ? Doe you even run 96 kHz for youtube tutorials ?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I'm usually on 48 kHz

[@septuleptum]

Second!
