Purf patches - Previously, on VCV

Tried this out this evening, Midinous and oh, man! Between watching Benn Jordan’s video about it and playing with it myself I spent like… dunno 45 minutes with the demo software, which I believe is limited to 30 nodes, full version is 20 eurobucks and yeah, I’ll definitely buy this. Nodes can be notes with all their properties, CC or logic gates and the thing is po•wer•ful! VCV in the background and everything is sequenced here:

get it here, yes, on Steam, the videogame platform :slight_smile:


Also, this from the other day, VCP challenge 75

Hey @purf that midinous patch is awesome! Midinous looks cool, but I’m really interested to know how you got that “broken piano” sound? I love that. If it’s a closely guarded secret, you can just tell me to bugger off, I’d understand :wink:

Not entirely sure what you’re referring to but the voice that’s not chords is just this, respectively Arturia’s Tape Mello-Fi at the end of everything:

… and an occasional Chronoblob for the glitch-repeats.

Oh cool, thanks, yeah it’s the tape mello-fi I hear. I thought it might have been a Rack module. And FM op into Stabile? I would never have thought of that. Nice. Anyway, incredible sound design man!

Ambient ~hardware jam with MicroFreak and its new sample engine (Cloud grain) & Strega. VCV provides Opulus, Plateau and Valhalla Delay as well as one of the recordings I made in here

So, the new Synthesis Technology modules. And more Midinous (the videobit of it isn’t synced, no).

Another one of those, Naviar Haiku 494. Cloud Generator, Percussive Vibration and FM-OP into Resonator into Clouds, sequenced by Midinous.

The only modulation is on the Symmetry of Repelzen’s Re-Fold but there are some spots where the thing keeps going:)

Similar but different, a complete gut patch, this one.

Beautiful, very Vangelisian! Need I say more.

I worked on the patch a bit more, for some changes over time and the music suddenly faded out and yes, I spent at least 3 Minutes with Mixmaster’s Main on mute, listening to the video that started playing when I looked up your comment in here :slight_smile:

Not the first one of us to do that, mute is a beggar to spot sometimes. When you got a lot going on in a patch. Is the patch available to play around with btw?

Uses Valhalla Delay, Tape Mello-Fi and Choose-Your-Own-Sample!

Thank you. Much appreciated.

That’s fantastic, really tasteful and relaxing.

Money well spent.

Patch notes for the curious:

Pam’s tracks 3 and 4 just cycle through a triangle wave, on a relaxed beat division, but sample+hold themselves on triggers received from the euclidian sequences with different lengths played by track 1 and 2, thus generating rhythmically stepped outputs: v/Oct for the two Resonators. (Pam’s has its own Quantizers, but putting in custom scales is comparatively cumbersome and I like Grande for its Trigger output on note change). Pam’s track 5 is constant BPM, used to clock the MFXs (two different delays) and on a /16 division sends a random value back to modulate the rise/fall of track 4’s triangle-shape to alter the amount of notes stepping up VS stepping down.

(oh, and Wake and Nap: track 1 goes silent once in three loops, track 2 twice in four.)

A few modulations via Midi and the DBiz utility bottom left: the trigger density of the two euclidian sequences on track 1&2 and the /x of the beat division of track 3, effectively expanding or contracting the triangle wave, affecting the spread of note events.


Also, regarding my use of that dBiz module bottom left: is it just me, or is there a dearth of knobby, preferably slim, fixed voltage modules!?
