=== very cool patch challenge, dual edition 44 ===

I tried again and Surge does work as an FX in in Host FX. Seems to perform well!

@23volts - OK, I’m game :slight_smile:

Cool! I don’t have the host modules since I want to keep VCV as a self sufiscient instrument. So I’ll only give poly turing a go! But I’m sure that it will be some crazy and fun stuff with host I’m looking forward to listen.

There are so many good free VSTs. I have used Native Instruments Lazerbass from the Reaktor collection, Padshop, the Ample Sound Guitar M Lite, Sonatina Orchestra and a couple of instruments from the Sonic Labs collection. If you are willing to spend some money, the world opens up even more.

Nice. I like the layout of this patch, and the little arpeggios that fly off every now and then.

Here’s a small patch for challenge #2. Not tremendously busy, but I found it fun to listen to for a few minutes, and experiment with feeding the Turing back to its scale and offset.

I chose the Turing Machine for the challenge and took it to the dark side of ambient.

Here’s the patch. https://patchstorage.com/polypheme-vcp-44/

My entry to VCP-44 using VCV Host…

We can build instruments/synths in VCV pretty easy, but there is unfortunately a limited selection of high quality effects imo, so being able to use Host-FX is pretty amazing, especially for some of my favorites: Valhalla Delay, VintageVerb, & Shimmer

I’m supposed to be writing a manuscript for school, but my internet went out earlier for several hours, so I made the most of my time by saying screw it and putting together this patch. Aside from the sounds, the patch is pretty lazy, I only use a S&H for notes, and I just fade sounds in/out with Tact and then it ends kind of abruptly. Hope you enjoy! Manuscript 1.vcv (67.0 KB)

4 Voices all based on one random arpeggio:

  1. Ambient drone: Woldemar - Neo - Sangster - Valhalla Delay(Pitch mode down 5 semitones) - Parametra - Alma
  2. Shimmer pad: Woldemar - Neo - Sangster - Valhalla Shimmer (pitched up 1 octave) - Rampage
  3. Tremolo bass: Octave Folder - VCO-2 - Debriatus - Stabile - Rampage
  4. Overdriven guitar: Woldemar - Neo - Indent - Pressor - Valhalla Delay(in Tape mode) - Valhalla VintageVerb (Room mode)
