Share your current template patch

that clocked/mindmeld/valley combo :100: :100: :100:

this is my template mainly because I stole it from an @Omri_Cohen videoā€¦ please donā€™t tell him

come to think of it, wanting to make a fixed rack also came up a couple of months ago on one of @Omri_Cohenā€™s videosā€¦

pinging omri, iā€™m curious if you have any esoteric templates you wouldnā€™t mind sharing :wink:

Itā€™s not fun if you donā€™t share it with others :slight_smile: And yes, I have a few ideas for more fixed racks but Iā€™m just waiting for VCV to stabilize a bit first.

Stand-alone template. Iā€™m running Plateau, Valhalle Supermassive, Soundtoys Echoboy and Clouds on the 4 aux busses. Then thereā€™s some dynamics, coloration and limiter: Bassmaster, Waves Kramer Tape, Waves LA-2A and Fabfilter L2. Channel 1-8 on the MindMeld have some lo cut filtering and levels pre-set.

Mineā€™s pretty similar to everyone elseā€™s. I used to have Iverson and Entrian Timeline in it as well but they are not available yet.

*Patch not included as it has a couple paid modules and a few, as yet, not in library.

I was just updating my template patch, so I thought I would revive this topic, how are all your templates doing?

Previously my template patch had been slimed down to just the very basics because when testing modules during development I normally donā€™t want any extra fluff around my focus.

But having changed my speakers I need to update my audio settings in the template, so I figured Iā€™d make a change:

The main changes are simply reintroducing a mixer, because adding a mixer is normally the very first thing I do in a new patch. Adding a limiter, because I am a lazy and donā€™t like anything to be too loud. Added the Host-FX module because, although Chronoblob is amazing, I feel it is becoming a crutch, so I am going to prop myself up on ValhallaSupermassive for a bit instead. And finally, I swapped out the Inklen Cable Color Key for the Count Modular Palette. The Inklen module is great, but I really really need it to remember which colour I have selected between saves, rather than revert back to the first colour, I find that so annoying.

I am trying to decide if I should move my Keystep Pro over to my work desk and setup the midi and maybe a Patchmaster thing as a controllerā€¦ do I want that in the template, or just as a selection that I can import?

Not much change since Dec '21.

I absolutely canā€™t decide between Inklen - great for recolouring - and the Submarine one - collapsible and lets me pick from a long list of colours to cycle through, but setting cable colours after the fact is laboriousā€¦

This is my current template:

Using Stroke to map keys to some basic functions like reset, record start/stop, mute, and zoom to extents of the patch. The Startup Delay forces a reset on patch load and also forces the patch to be muted for the first 3 seconds after load.

Interesting, so you save patches that are in a running state or is this just a safety thing? (I guess you might be loading someone elseā€™s patch and donā€™t know its starting state)

I normally always put in some sort of start/stop mechanism before I save them, which I also use during any video capture, but I could see this being useful for saving in progress patches

Most of my patches tend to be free running or I have a sequencer controlling the arrangement and Iā€™m too lazy to stop everything and reset it before I save it so I force the restart on load.
