You are welcome, and thank you to you, too!
So far, I’ve been trying to make patches available wherever possible, because I also think that analyzing patches is a excellent way to learn and to develop your own process. For more complex patches or patches with commercial plugins though, this unfortunately is not always useful or even possible.
I can’t claim to know JJ all too well, but with over 5 million followers on YT, she must be doing something right. Nevertheless, it did not take long until the question came to mind: “Who is Jonna Jinton really?” The rest is fiction

Ambient Drift (4-Voice Exercise #01)
Starting a new series today, with the goal of creating compact and relatively lightweight 4-voice generative or aleatoric patches in VCV Rack.
This first attempt consists of chords, bass, lead and arp as voices. All notes are generated from a Circle of Fifth module (Fifths & Fourths by Amalgamated Harmonics).
For chord assembly, notes are fed into Shift Register (ML). The chord is then sent to Arp (Hampton Harmonics), and for the lead also into a second Shift Register (ML), which is sequenced backwards and played using irregular gates from uGraph (Valley).
Together, the 4 voices form a drifting, continuously changing soundscape that is slow yet migrant in rhythm and tone. Modulation of timbre and panning adds to the wandering. Scale is C phrygian.

Prophecy (4VE02)
Softly rhythmic Generative Ambient track created as a 4-Voice Excercise (pad, bass, lead, perc).
Exploring a polyphonic supersaw in VCO Unit (Venom). The bass (Nodi, Sanguine Mutants) sounds much fuller when adding on an octave and a fifth using polyphony. Two delays and a reverb as send effects. Lead ‘melody’ using Evolution (ML Modules). Basic pitches come from AbcdSeq (JW-Modules), in part converted to chords in Harmony (Squinktronix).
Press any of the Random buttons on AbcdSeq to alter the sequence. Four percussion instruments are assembled via Vector Mixer (NYSTHI).
Scale is F minor. Maximus-VST (Image Line) in Host-FX (VCV) was used as compressor for loudness during recording, but removed from the patch thereafter.

Daydream in Muted Pink (4VE03) (Ambient)
Deliberately mellow generative ambient track as a 4-Voice Exercise (pad1, pad2, noise, strings/bells).
Root notes generated in NoteSeq16 (JW-Modules). Chords for two polyphonic lush pads created with Harmony (Squinktronix) and played using random gate selections. Strings and bells draw from the root note and may remind of a music box. dadras (wiqid) as chaotic LFO. Scale is D# Major.
Maximus-VST (Image Line) in Host-FX (VCV) was used as compressor for loudness during recording, but removed from the patch thereafter.

Hydrogen Drone (Drone Day 2025, 4VE04)
Generative ambient drone created for the Drone Day 2025 collab (>> call for submissions: Drone Day 2025 collab <<).

Conceived as a 4-voice exercise. Maximus-VST (Image Line) in Host-FX (VCV) was used as compressor for loudness during recording, but removed from the patch thereafter.
