After having watched the video XFX Wave pour VCV Rack by Olivier Dahan and VCV Rack- XFX Wave & XFX Reverb in Series by jph wacheski … i wanted to use XFX Wave as ‘standalone synthesizer’ and experiment with it to create sounds, unfortunately it doesn’t have a gate input, so although i can use the keyboard to change the pitch it sounds continuously.
So, me being a beginner, i would like to ask the VCV Rack Masters if there’s some way i can do that by using other modules together with XFX Waves
You can use a simple chain like
MIDI pitch—>wave---->VCA in
MIDI gate---->adsr—>VCA Lin In
Then the VCA out—> Audio core
And maybe, if your keyboard can handle this, you Can use the midi cc module for mapping various parameters
Going to check CC now, as i have a Novation Impulse61 Keyboard
EDIT2: Oh how i wish that next VCV Rack incarnation, that is: v2, includes polyphony in it!!! EDIT3: Oh what a wonderful synth on its own is XFX Wave!! … Who needs Xfer Serum ($189) or Arturia Pigments (149€), or any other wave table synth when you can have the same with XFX Wave ($30) + all the FREE power of VCV Rack?! … So thanks a lot Blamsoft + VCV Rack!
Hey i’m really happy for you! For polyphony (4 voices) You should use midi4 and 4 xfx wave and 4 adsr and finally a mixer
MIDI 4 pitch—> xfx wave x4----->quadvca
MIDI 4 gates—>adsr x4----->Lin in of the quad vca
Then the mix output into the audio core
I think i’m going to explode of happiness today thanks to you Iomono!!!
Here is my new patch, 4 ADSRs + 4 XFX Waves … Incredible power already without any further modules! … Can you imagine if we start adding other modules? … “Serum?, what Serum? … Pigments?, what Pigments? … I have VCV Rack + XFX Wave, there’s no need at all for expensive Toy Synths!”
Yes, i originally used XFX Reverb + AS DelayPlus Stereo FX, but now I’m using a multi-effect VST called HY-MBMFX2 by HY-Plugins (only $48), thanks to the wonderful VCV Host-FX … But you’re right, all the modules we’re talking about are very good, only that this one gives me much more power, because i can combine several effects into one to build a ‘sonic storm’ .
BTW, i am thinking about developing further the ideas we’ve been talking here to build a pretty nice synth … Not a bad idea don’t you think?!
… I’m going to try it right now … I’ll tell you how it went!
