You’ll get some similar sounds from VCV Library - Befaco Oneiroi
Funnily enough, I was watching a different video with a demo of this earlier. I would have a go at emulating it, but I don’t know exactly what it does! I know it’s basically a wavetable VCO, filter and effects section including a frequency shifter. I’m guessing it’s monophonic if it’s a ‘drone VCO’ but I’m not sure what the other effects algorithms are.
You could absolutely patch up something similar from other modules. It’s quite a thick sound, so my tip would be to experiment with polyphony. You can force one note onto multiple channels either by using Bogaudio Unison for the v/oct, or mult the audio signal with Polymult, then stick it through a poly filter and some poly effects (most of the surge collection are polyphonic, Airwindows and quite a few others). For polyphonic delay, try Stocaudio Polydelay or RPJ Circle Ride.
Then again, my answer to everything is ‘make it polyphonic’. Maybe not quite the same, but I’ve made very similar sounds with those techniques.
Yeah a wavetable VCO into a filter and then a delay and reverb with frequency shifter in the reverb. However, it’s more complicated than that, it is multiple VCOs doing cross modulation I think with two controls affecting each VCO in different ways depending on the algorithm, and a wavetable scan. It also has some different effects like chorus, again depending on the algorithm. On top of all that, a couple of the algorithms have pitched wavetables so when you scan it you can play melodies, I don’t know how to emulate that.
Crossfeeding two wavetable oscillators should get you in the right ball park.
A 3.5 hours demo by State Azure. I generally like his work a lot. And I’m not alone. He gathered 150K subscriber on YouTube and has lots of supporters on Patreon. Had not seen/heard this one before. That might be because it’s very fresh work (not even a day old)…
Forge TME has a lot of info on Vhikk-x, including an Algorithm Reference.
someone please make a patch thats similar, or closely emulating, and share it here !!!
Unfortunately I don’t think this can be done in VCV (or anywhere else). I have a Vhikk X, and a big part of what makes it special is the way the background parameters (seed, scan, morph, fuse) are tuned. In many algorithms, these parameters span a very large timbral space, and I don’t know how you’d recreate that without knowing exactly what the macro parameters are doing in the background (which obviously is something the dev probably won’t want to disclose).
For example, in the cluster oscillators, these parameters move through many wavetable + pitch combinations, and I don’t think you’d be able to replicate that just by ear. This is one of those cases where if you want this particular sound, you really do need to get the hardware.
Regarding Oneiroi, it’s a great module, but it is not comparable to Vhikk.
copy that. makes sense. one day!!
Im sure someone will figure it out
