Pink Trombone in VCV - Help Wanted

This module is awesome! It had me laughing so hard within a minute of patching it. I’ve really been looking forward to it since you first posted about it. It was well worth the wait. And I’m sure it’s going to be good for more than just hearty laughter. Thanks for your efforts @Vega and congrats on getting it out.

Yep. I realize having a V/Oct attenuator is weird, but it’s that way because I thought some people may want to use it as an exponential FM input instead of as a traditional V/Oct.

I usually have both. A fixed 1v/8 input, and a FM input with an attenuverter. I think that’s a pretty common setup.

@Vega : Tooltips on all in and outputs have input/output twice in a row… (i.e.: Output output, etc)

Nice catch! Fixed in the latest push to Github. I’m not going to submit a library update yet, under the assumption that someone may find something else in this first week or two.

Love this module, thank you!

Cool patch! BTW, for another VCVRackIdea, I got some really nice results using my weird envelope generator: VCV Library - LyraeModules Vega as a modulation source on the trombone. Can really get it talking.

Thanks for the module idea-I have got a sort of Native American singing /talking voice using Lyrae. Going to experiment some more. Thanks for making this module.

I was trying to write an intro to this post that sounded witty but it ended up smutty instead so I’ll cut right to the chase: this module + a Quantussy Ring (yes I’m obsessed with them) seems to be your doorway to endless jabbering insanity. Well played!

I wish it were polyphonic so I could make a convenient chorus of insane screeching sounds.

I agree polyphony would be really nice, and it may bring with it some performance gains if done well. Unfortunately, I actually have 0 time to invest in this. So, seriously, if someone wants it please submit a PR.

I don’t even know what I’m doing but I like the Pink Trombone, especially once I’m done throwing a ton of processing on it :grin:

For some reason it came out of Rack from the Mindmeld Mixmaster sounding pretty awesome & I didn’t bother doing anything to it except editing the front and the back of the file.

My that sounds mighty fine… in an irregular fashion, ,:<<< love the wonky piano-samples or keyboard. Any chance of seeing and fiddling with the patch?? Magnificent work.

There are a lot of things beyond free plugins in this patch: The Stoermelder plugin, SoundState, VCV Host, VCV SoundStage, The NI Una Corda piano in Kontakt, Eventide H910 Harmonizer VST…

Thank you, I’ve got some of the paid for modules but not the piano part should be able to create that with SFZ Player [maybe?]

Get Kontakt Player here: Samplers : Kontakt 6 Player : Free Download | Komplete

Then get a free Kontakt Piano Insturment:

as @chaircrusher suggests, there are a bunch of free things to play in vst, assuming you have purchased host. Personally I don’t quite know why people skip right to paid solutions when there are so many good free SFZ files you can play with the free SFZ player that does not require the not-free Host module.

I like the Ivy piano, but I think there are a bunch of others around. Piano in 162

“not-free host module” gives me stereo output, sustain pedal support - and less memory use.

VCV + "piano 162 sfz" in Sforzando in VCV host = 719 MB
VCV + "piano 162 sfz" in SFZ Player = 2.2 GB

SFZ Player compatibility

always a pleasure to hear from you, @Jens.Peter.Nielsen!

I use Kontakt because I own Kontakt. There is a lot in SFZ format too but the libraries for Kontakt are deep.

& Kontakt player is free & sometimes I forget not everyone is coming to Rack with decades of electronic music production experience. That’s the exciting thing about Rack is that people are starting out with it as their first tool, not just their latest.
