Alright, sorry it took me so long to comment. I actually was halfway through the videos the other day, came across @ablaut 's and realized I totally messed up on making polyrhythms. We had this conversation before in the VCV facebook group awhile back referencing a divkid post in the Eurorack Synthesizers group, and I just had it backwards in my head. You have to multiply your main clock, not divide like I did, smacking myself now. Learning experiences are what this is all about though I feel like:)
Hereās some comments, even though I didnāt exactly earn it:
@rsmus7 , I love this melody, its just really pleasing to the ear! Kind of crazy you got this with Trummor2?! nice!
@computerscare , seriously cool percussion with mostly noise, respect! Love this tremolo effect and feedback(towards the end, almost wish there was more). One day I will figure out how to use your modules, maybe a not too far distant VCP?
@the1andonlydrno , really cool rhythms and drum sounds, and this bass that comes in is nostalgic to me, I cant place what it reminds me of, maybe an old computer game:) Especially love how the rhythms are always evolving to new places and how you did the dancing visuals! nice work!
@dag2099 , Iād say you definitely achieved polyrhythms, great success! Love the acid-y and vocoder-like timbres you are getting. I need to explore the Starling collection a bit more.
@ablaut I like to watch you explore with a vision in mind, but share control with the random elements of the patch, and by the time you end it always sounds good. I thought you stated the whole polyrhythm thing perfectly around 32 mins, made me laugh, love this bass at 44mins. I definitely recommend catching Benās livestream, I had to miss this one live unfortunately, but its always fun to watch and interact, almost like your learning & patching together, and can take the inspiration to your own patches, and he always recommends good music!
@denis.tercier , these rhythms and sounds are awesome, giving me idm vibes! Thatās one style along with ambient that I love but always have trouble with making. You definitely achieved a polyrhythmic & percussive result in full spirit of the VCP challenge! I have a hard time giving constructive feedback on music since the experience as a composer or listener is so subjective, and this patch already is a 9/10 imo, but I might have done a couple things different to enhance it more, such as use a different reverb over percussion (like the Blamsoft or AS since they are cleaner sounding than plate reverb) although I like how you turned down the diffusion, decay, and turned up the predelay, iām sure it helped. Also, omg this could have used a nice moody drone or pad to bring it home to perfection. Seriously creative and musical work at a high level with limitations fully adhered too.
@jedrzejewskimk polyrhythms achieved! Great job showing us how its done! Always love your patches, they always have a playful side to them with lots of complexity. I have to agree that noise is odd, although I really love noise and think it needs to be used more in peoples patches, keep doing your thing!
@musicHack , Iām digging this lead sound and melody quite a bit! Kind of makes me want to dance, and I think you maybe got some polyrhythms going with the logic on the hand drums, Iām not sure but I like it:)
@AdiQ what happened?! I think you got lost in some other challenge. Maybe you could have done actual polyrhythms, used a filter on that pulse wave, and do you always have to have so many notes going at once, just relax man. Nice effort though.
I think we are missing some people this time, hope they come back, and thanks again Ben!
