Finally a good old fashioned book! And it’s the one that taught me the most about the nuts and bolts of synthesis techniques when I was an over-excited teen back in the 80’s:
A pdf from Beginners VCV Rack from EMF Camp 2018 I found very useful. It has explainations and graphics of how the basic modules work. I particularly like the instructions to create various effects using various CV sources and inputs.
Hey guys, I decided to take a crack at writing my own “Absolute Beginners Guide to Modular Synthesis with VCV Rack”. As the name implies this is geared towards people with zero synthesis experience. This is the first part, but I plan on writing more next weekend if I have the time.
Feedback and constructive criticism are absolutely welcome. =]
That’s great Emmet, thanks! I’ve added the link to this guide. You might consider having the guide as a topic here in the community forum instead, unless of course it will be a multi-chapter thing.
Is there any quick 3 minute tutorials for v1.x.x - v1.1.6 where selecting the audio and midi device and getting sound with the default template is shown in detail?
Thanks for that Phil! It’s great to see such a succinct tutorial from Omri on the initial patch. Perfect for people turning on Rack for the first time. I’ve done a light edit of the post and incorporated the link properly. I’d prefer if you don’t edit the post directly but rather simple post the link as a comment, thanks. When v2.0 comes out I’ll do a major revamp of this and try and get it somewhat up to date.
@ablaut’s “Rack Starter Survival Kit” video has been mentioned above, but it also makes sense to point to his collection of modules and synthesis manuals:
