one of the best things in your tutorials are the "ooooh yeeeeah"-moments ... those are sooo motivating :)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much :)

[@kellycoote7149]

Thank you. Every single one of your tutorials are just fantastic for learning modular. ✅

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hey, Kelly, thank you so much!

[@seand4138]

Man, everytime I feel like I've grasped something myself, you always manage to extend my understanding a bit more! Thank you! Never stop doing what you do!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Oh nice, I'm happy that I can be helpful :) Cheers!

[@SoundStricker]

Playing around with FM recently, I thought I understood it...only to realise I didn't. This video is exactly what I was looking for to get me started!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@hoverpillow6106]

Such a useful tuto! All the best to you, Omri.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@marcopaolovaleriovezzoli5776]

Really interesting. I believe I will listen to this video over and over. I'm really fascinated by FM. Thank you Omri!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Oh nice :) Yeah, FM is super deep... Cheers!

[@markovchains573]

Really interesting use of combinations of FM-OPs. Keep it up!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@Steve.Benedict]

This was great! Starting to understand how to make some of the the sound I like in some of the music I listen to. Also the bells are sweet, was trying to create similar sound but wasn't quite getting there, this helps a lot.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Awesome, thank you!

[@murrayson1]

this was a great video, thank you so much!!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cosmicloops3471]

[@NullifierMotion]

Wow! Drums were a surprise. Nice ;)

[@friszion]

This is my favorite episode :) hands down :Oh yess is right!!!"

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks so much!

[@Ernthir]

The beat made me chuckle :D

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cool :)

[@markus_knoedel]

Great patching.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you!

[@markus_knoedel]

Omri I learn so much from this videos. I am on iOS mainly. And in miRack there are some modules missing, but still it is a lot of fun.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

I really appreciate it! Yeah, maybe one day there will be an official VCV app...

[@pardaq24]

16:48 shit got aphex twin-y real fast. nice work :)

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@egiputrak]

i definitely need to learn how to make those drum beat! very cool!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Have a look at the patches, they're available in the description :)

[@cccp942]

JUNGLEEE!!!!

[@NickSomeSoul]

Man, I'm almost positive that the first Chronoblob you added you called it a Coronablob 😂

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Can be :) It's affecting me...

[@massimillennium]

Oh Yeah!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Cheers!

[@joseph.nicolaus]

thank you very much from me too ...

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thanks!

[@user-dh1go4sq9q]

👍🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻✊🏻👍🏻

[@ShapeNoise]

Let's make something less innocent... ooooooh yeah, FM baby! 😂

[@OmriCohen-Music]

It was a fun one :)

[@midnightstepper]

Another great tutorial and really great for understanding FM synthesis. One thing, even with the OCT module ob the lowest setting I'm still getting a very high pitched tone from the computer keyboard. Any idea why?

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Thank you! Well, I'm not so sure why, but you can use a different module to take it down even more. Try using the attenuverter from Befaco, for example, and all you have to do is open the attenuverter all the way to the right, and lower the offset. You will want to lower it by octaves so just right click the offset knob, and enter the value you want so -1 for an octave down or -5 for 5 octaves. Let me know if it works for you.

[@midnightstepper]

​@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks, man. That did the trick!

[@OmriCohen-Music]

@@midnightstepper Great!

[@GermanFafian]

Awesome! Now I need to find how to create lush chords.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Fm chords can be really nice :)

[@GermanFafian]

@@OmriCohen-Music Oh shure. It's just that I don't have a keyboard and wanted to find a way to create chords in VCV in a random patch-like style.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

@@GermanFafian Well, have a look at the note seq from JW. You can set the number of poly channels you want, and randomize the notes so it will create chords for you. I use it all the time.

[@GermanFafian]

@@OmriCohen-Music Thanks. Will do so.

[@sinistar3198]

I am trying to implement a four operator FM synth using WT-VCO modules in series but my synth sounds wrong when I turn on the third and fourth operators. Is this an issue with VCV Rack? Could it be my hardware? WT output goes to FM of next in series. All are set to linear mix. Each pair in series sounds the same when isolated and sent to output, did this as sanity check. I am using Dexter as my reference sound. My goal is to build a polyphonic fm synthesizer.

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hi! Can you please send me the patch? You can send it here omri.musicohen (at)gmail.com I will have a look :)

[@jmparis83]

Omri what did you do? simply another amazing tutorial ! :) Great episode following your previous kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJrbkmOwdsqViZY

[@OmriCohen-Music]

Hey, thank you so much!

[@BarondelaPlumeDorèe]

Christ this seems complicated...
