Hello there, love it! Will there be a patch available at some point? I have purchased UZU on the basis of this. So no pressure!
Ah, I didn’t plan to share this one because it wouldn’t make sense for anyone else. I expected the number of people that use VCV Rack and have the Synthesis Technology collection and Host-FX and the Uzu plugin to be extremely close to zero.
As it happens, there is always that one person 
Also, does Rack keep VST plugin settings between different computers? I guess if you have the host module and the same plugin it should work, I could test it on a spare machine. I’d have to strip out the bits for guitar input and just do a version with the effects section. You can then hook up your own choice of modules to provide an input.
I can DM it if I get a chance to tidy it up, no point uploading to Patchstorage because nobody else could use it!
Ok thanks, it would be good to see a version I could use. Let me know if you get there.
I’ll see what I can do, didn’t expect anyone else to use this technique but it’s kind of interesting.
Next patch:

The Valhalla Spacemodulator is a modern wonder. I use that all the time to fx the hell out of my tracks on Audacity. Be good to see what you can do with the free software.
This device looks interesting can al those Spacemodulator do those things. Another thing to create maybe?
Stutter effect :
Space Modulator doesn’t do stutter, try Etesia for that or Chronoblob’s freeze. Maybe start a new thread for that hardware gizmo too, let’s try and keep this one on topic.
I might do a tutorial on the idea of using multiple copies of the same plugin if I get time, but it’s a pain to patch!
Update, this is a daft technique but I did a tutorial anyway:

Well strangely I love it! I have the Valhalla modules, so pretty please, can I have the patch?
Could I just swap the UZU for some of the Valhalla plugins anyway?
Yeah, it’s pretty much the same patch! Just load a different plugin to each of the host modules and map some parameters. I think the modulation is key to making it sound interesting, but obviously some effects work better than others. Worth trying a few if you can be bothered!
Thanks I’ll go about it that way.
Threw this together earlier, recycling some bits of physical modelling patches using comb filters and resonators. The result is a droning, slightly psychedelic mess but I quite liked it.

Yup I like it. A raintree feel about it. Very soothing, in unexpected ways. The patch available anywhere?
Always enjoy your experiments.
Funny you should mention that! I’ve got a total of 30 patches using this kind of physical modelling idea, basically pinging resonators/filters but modifying the impulse first. I’m planning to sell them as a collection on Gumroad for something like £5 (or about 7 bucks if you’re the wrong side of the pond 
).
This patch is in the collection. I have no idea if anyone will buy them, but there’s one way to find out!
In the meantime, here’s number 22 in the modular guitar effects series. It’s a strange one (alright, most of them are a bit strange, but this one is extreme granular weirdness) using the Stochastic Telegraph Memory Modules.
I’ve been meaning to do a patch with these modules for quite a while, but wanted to find a way of using them that was different to a regular looper.

Messing around with polyphonic feedback recently and stuck it into the audio input of Anuli (via a VCA with the ADSR triggered from the gate output of Quantum). I think it’s the modulation from Omega-6 that makes this interesting. It outputs static voltages, but you can modulate the high/low range, spacing between values on different channels and also the phase, which produces a stepped output that ripples across the poly channels.
Been listening to this all day, it’s constantly changing with runs of notes, still sections then bits of weird feedback noise coming in. Not sure anyone will tolerate it for 16 minutes, but why not eh!
@ady34 you’ll be pleased to know this patch is available already! Link in the description

Beautiful patching Ed!
Thanks Lars and Bloodbat! One of those happy accidents, just making feedback experiments and thinking “What would this sound like as an impulse for Rings?”
Always worth a try 
The audio input on Rings/Anuli isn’t used enough, most things can be made more interesting slapped through a resonator, especially if it’s polyphonic!

Here’s the tutorial on this, how to make polyphonic feedback patches including the previous one with Anuli. I’ve called it ‘no input mixing’ because that’s more hip and might get a few more views…although it could also gain a record number of UNsubscribers.
It’s just feedback and polyphonic modulation mainly, but this makes a surprising range of sounds.
