Huzzah! was hoping there would more VCPs to come, also I thought of starting one but never got round to it!
Here I could again experimentation is a coming!
Can you use Shapemaster on Sampler? Gonna go find out!
I’m going to get a head start for next year’s drone day.
Basic Drone patch that uses Shapemaster to generate pitch, modulate the filter and VCO and also as the VCA.
So, it basically does everything.
I’m modulating the overtones and harmonics on the Basal module, so it could be that when they all align (once in awhile) a high “Q” filter-ish sound is produced. Or maybe not.
so here is my entry:
I used the ShapeMaster Pro here and some Vult paid modules (Freak and Knock).
Also I used Colors from Kinotone, that was a free beta download, but seems not to be available atm.
Maybe you can use this site: https://vcvtools.glitch.me/ to replace the paid for/missing modules.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
I definitely see tremendous potential with the module, and am confident there are many things possible that I would not even dream of.
It reminds me very much of some of the features within Vital. I am amazed at the speed with which someone like Dash Glitch performs wizardry with Vital, and suspect similar things could be done with ShapeMaster.
But for whatever reason, the process leaves me cold when faced with the prospect of actually creating/manipulating/employing my own shapes. Before I discovered VCV, I dabbled a fair amount with Vital, but mostly by tweaking/expanding existing presets. Once I discovered VCV, I pretty much abandoned Vital.
I had hoped that this challenge would spur me to actually dive in and create my own shapes. But it hasn’t worked
Good point. No I have not. In fact, I rarely use any randomize features, such as the randomize context menu option available to all modules. Maybe I am too much of a control freak.
Kind of silly really. I’m perfectly comfortable using white noise and a Sample and Hold, or Caudal, or Bogaudio Walk, or a Bernoulli Gate, or some of the DocB random modules, or…
I know I am missing out on a whole other world. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I hope I am in the minority, as ShapeMaster deserves more entries in this challenge.
If so, you should try probably ShapeMaster out - it gives you precise control of voltage over time, which is what modular is all about
I totally get it that no module is for everyone, and that’s fine, but on a personal level I’d love to see what you could do with it as you get so deep into modules and really understand them.
I think my favourite use for it is as a sequencer as it is so flexible and allows you to easily create sequences that would be hard to do by any other means - different timings within the sequence, and precise control over expression and glides between notes for example. I’ve posted this video by Jakub a few times but it’s def worth a watch if you haven’t seen it (as is the rest of his series on ShapeMaster).
