Hello community,
I’m a beginner when it comes to VCV Rack. I had a Nord Modular a long time ago, which I unfortunately sold at some point. I’ve been trying to recreate a (for me, beautiful) sound with VCV, but without success. I would like to do more with VCV, but I’m struggling with it. Now the question is, perhaps there are people here who would be interested in recreating this sound and, ideally, creating a tutorial for it. Recreating the sound would be the first step, which would motivate me to delve deeper and understand everything better. I can imagine that other beginners would also benefit from this. It would make sense to build the sound with freely available modules.
I have a link to the sound snippet, the patch from the Nord Modular G2, and an image of the setup. Anyone interested can listen to the sound using the Nord Virtual Editor/Demo.

Yeah, it’s a nice sound. There’s more than one voice + effects, filters and modulations going on there, so won’t be a 30 min. job but I think it would be possible to get pretty close in VCV Rack.
I normalized the gain a bit and compacted it a bit as well, pluse raised the LFO tempo closer to the original. I think with a bit of work on the LFO/envelope shape it’s in the wheelhouse:

This might not be what you want to hear but you can create the nord modular + lead v2 ( early autechre ) sounds / modular environment pretty easily in maxmsp. I am sure you could get close in sound in VCV but if you are interested in the overall patching environment / look I think it would be less convoluted in max. Would love to see it done here too though so i don’t want to stop anyone from trying : )
