ACTUALLY Making Music with VCV Rack/Generative Principles

Yeah so modular is great and everything but can we actually make music with it? Like releasable, professional music that isn't just ambient? Yes of course we can, and using generative principles is the easiest way to overcome your creative blockages and generate unlimited melodic and harmonic inspiration. Lets get it!

Hey man, your tutorial is fine but the intensity of your bass - which you're occasionally playing - is annoying and much too loud.

[@veggai]

as someone who is rlllly new to modular synths and is only rly able to use programs to do it, this was rly helpful to understand why it does what it does

This is well explained and interesting! One thing I hate about VCV and I can speak for many here is that you find a patch, load it up an then it reports 'modules not found'.So then you try to work out what to find or download. Why it doesn't just load them all or ask you ' do you wish to download these modules?'. Of course some are paid for and you can't download them....but as a beginner it is really offputting to see that message.Many a time I have just given up at that point. Also with VCV you go to load something and it says 'VCV is already running'! That is so annoying! So you can't just go through patches easily. I don't understand the logic in it. Having said that, VCV is truly amazing....your video was interesting in that you approached it from a musical point of view. It's also simple. So many patches make your head hurt on youtube! You explained it very well...and sharing the knowledge is a good thing to do. Thank you.

Controversial opinion but this single video makes way more sense than Omri's entire catalog.

[@RyanMurgatroydMusic]

Wow guys! I cant believe how much interaction this video got.. I would really like to update this video with better audio and video, and revise this concept again, with all the lew techniques and variations ive been learning

Forgive me for my ignorance but given that you have a sequencer that plays a "range of octaves" and you modulated that range wouldn't that be the same thing that's going on with the VCA here? For example in Ableton there's various sequencers you can use that will play notes in an octave range like C1-C4, so the VCA is doing the same thing right? The voltage is the initial range then the limiter within the initial range allows you to go from let's say C1-C4 to C1-C2? So in Ableton if I just automated that range it'd be the same thing?

Is this patch available to download thanks

[@Learnerofthings]

This is amazing and I thank you. I am so glad you mentioned Nils Frahm! He is literally the composer I heard who sent me to VCV Rack 2 and Cardinal.

[@thecorruptversion]

I just get one tone from the clocker and nothing, i try to pass it through everything and I just get an annoying pulse of one note, this is so frustrating

[@danielquaranta]

hi, Sorry, but I couldnt find a RANGE MELODY....Sorry I m a bigginer, ;_) could you tellme where could I find it? Or brand's name?

[@ariellopez2215]

this is exactly . exactlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy what I was looking for. im new to modular synthesis im gravitating towards it because of the unlimited amounts of inspiration that can come from these sequences. because of you I can now continue my journey and execute the way I want to. thank you.

[@reverendobrown75]

Thank you very much...ı've been into Vcv rack on and off for sometime but this is the first video that actually hallowed me to experiment and understand how the whole patch functions...good job...subscribed...😀👍

[@johnkaczmarek9066]

Excellent video! I’ve been using the sequencer > VCA > quantizer routing you talked about here a LOT and it’s made everything so much more interesting.

[@kirtandreamrezzer]

Excellent teacher and tutorial. Basic simplicity with plenty of room to branch out into generative insanity. Loved it. Thank you very much. ✨ 🌟 🌞 🙌🏼 💛 🕊 🕉 🙏🏽

[@Gargamoul2]

Thanks to you I made my first patch on cardinal today, and it sounds dope ! Best tuto for generative music on KZbin ;) and so much possibilities...

[@willthorley6981]

Great tutorial, really helped me get to grips with a lot of the concepts I couldn’t quite get my head around!

[@petermican]

Mind-blowing video, will lay my hands on VCV and try to create similar fantastic sounds...

[@Blink_____]

I don't understand why the audio levels are all over the place like a bomb went off. =\

[@stephen285]

this is an absolutely amazing video, truly insightful

[@buqaqawulisqangule6531]

Awesome video
