Yeah Prince of Perception is a beast, I think anything sounds good through it!
Anyway, no guitar tonight but finished a spacey thing with a patch I’ve had kicking about for a while. Think I started this on holiday in July, and that seems a LONG time ago now.
Not strictly guitar, but here’s a tutorial on making timestretch textures with Prince of Perception.
Back on the space ambient thing today, wanted to make a spacey patch just using free modules as a bit of a challenge.
Update: I’ve put all the guitar effects series into a playlist, I’ll see if I can pin this at the top of the post:
Thought I’d try Cardinal for a change. I have VCV Pro too, so I’m not comparing functionality of the two options. To be honest I thought it might get the idea of using software modular for guitar effects to a wider audience. Unlikely really as it’s fairly niche, but if you want any of these effects in a DAW and can’t afford Pro, it works really well.
Just a quick one today, a short video on some wavetable sound design. Love the XFX module.
More space ambient this week! Guitars all need a bit of a setup before I get back on the modular effects stuff.
Got my guitars back, all set up, noisy volumes pots sorted and ready to go. Haven’t had time to record anything yet, so here are a couple of more regular ambient VCV patches (nothing to do modular guitar effects, but the rules say one post each for spamming music links!). Having said that, I’ll probably use the MFX modules patch for a guitar thing at some point.
More Pigments + VCV ambient:
…and here’s another ambient thing using nine MFX modules 
Happy new year rackers.
Happy new patch indeed, is it available on Patch storage or can it be on even on here? Love the ‘up octave delay’ effect btw! Much appreciated.
It is now! I swapped most of the premium modules for free alternatives, but you will need MFX (which is a total pig to use and very buggy, but has some beautiful FX algorithms!)
Back on the modular guitar effects series, I wanted to try the glitchy MFX delay from my last piece on the guitar, so I took that and mashed it up with another patch I had lying around from last year, which used Clouds into two PathSet Sifters going into Truffles for an absolute ambient mess. So, here you have MFX granular guitar. Enjoy!
Just a short today, 90’s rompler into VCV effects! Founds my old Akai SG01v in the loft a few weeks ago, and thought I’d plug it in and see if it still worked. Some of the sounds are cheesy, but it’s fun to stick old hardware into VCV sometimes.
This one isn’t a patch, but uses samples from previous VCV work loaded into Pigments, and layered with Juno-6. Just two samples made quite a big cinematic sound. I’ve been sampling Rack into Pigments a lot recently, might do a dedicated video on that too.
Pls do! I have pigments and was toying with the idea as well, but haven’t gotten anything as great as your example out of it. What is the approx. length of the VCV recording you’re using?
Thanks! Generally I find between 10 to 20 seconds is enough. I don’t multisample much either, maybe one or two notes depending on the sound. I quite like the effect of pitching things down a few octaves, the sample playback engine in Pigments seems pretty high quality, but you still get that crunchy aliasing in the lower registers. I quite often sample with effects and filters in the VCV patch too, especially if you make things polyphonic to get a thicker sound. I nearly made a tutorial on it this week, but I’ve got a sore throat and the voiceover sounded like crap!
I’ll make it my next project
An old one this, was this on Patch Storage. Some great sounds from these Elastika modules.
Ha thanks, I need to look at that module again. Makes some great textures. This has also reminded me to finish that tutorial on sampling, cheers!
Did you ever get anywhere on the reverse reverb project you started? I tried using 3 Prince of perceptions, got a reverb reversed but not sure it was perfect.
Nysthi vs reverse reverb.vcv (26.4 KB)
Yeah, kind of. I found that Taps worked better than PoP, but I couldn’t make it do a single repeat which is what you need for the classic reverse reverb.
