My first few minutes using it as a vst were fun. I tried to load an older and rather large patch. Was too much! Tried to change that thingy from 512 to something bigger, and it crashed. And then it crashed every time I tried to reload it. That was fun. Figured it out but that was my first few minutes

Omri do you offer a series of videos for the complete beginner to eurorack? Would be cool if you made a set of them for Udemy or whichever. I'd totally buy a course. I guess I should become patreon member and check out yoru 100 page PDF? is that where I shoudl start? Most of the videos I see you make are for the advanced user and most of it goes over my head.. I just don't know where to start :)

@OmriCohen-Music 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, yeah, I have 2 courses about modular synthesis but I use VCV since it's free and everyone can follow along. The PDF is interesting, but it's more of ideas and techniques and not specifically for beginners. I have a few live streams I did for beginners though, they might also be interesting.

@@OmriCohen-Music Yeah VCV is all I can afford and is what I'd be using starting out. If I become any good at it then I'll consider buying real hardware later. Where can I see these 2 courses? How about the live streams, are they available on youtube? Or do I access them all via patreon?

@atlantisdies 2 жыл бұрын

I'm just wondering, can you use vcv in your daw and also send CV out to your modular and receive the audio back in? If that makes sense?

@OmriCohen-Music 2 жыл бұрын

Well, it depends on your setup and the DAW you use I guess. For example, in Ableton, you have the CV tools so you can route the signals out of VCV through the CV tools and the audio back into VCV. It might be a bit cumbersome though, but I'm sure it's possible.

I've just bought VCV Rack 2 and. your videos have been really helpful in getting me started. I have a couple questions if you have time to answer. 1/ I've managed to set up a simple sequencer in VCV to send midi to my Moog Matriarch, which is great. However all the sequencers I've. tried just seem to send one very short note at a time, which is fine for plucks but when I turn the attack up, nothing plays. Presumably I need a way to set the sequencer for longer notes or tied notes, to give the output time to trigger a long attack pad type sound. Do you know which sequencers do this? 2/ I'd love to get VCV Rack talking to my Matriarch (and M32+SH) and from what I can tell I need an expert sleeps ES-8. However for that to work, I'd also need a case and all I really want is the converter. I wondered if you knew of another way to do this? Many thanks - love you videos :)

@OmriCohen-Music 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! About the gate length, there are a few things you can try. For example, there's the Dgate module from BogAudio that will convert short triggers into gates. You can also try a dedicated sequencer like the Phrase Sequencers from Impromptu. They have built in glide and tied steps that you can add. If you want to send CV out of VCV, you will need a DC coupled interface. ES8 is an option but you can also get something like a Motu interface, or maybe you already have an interface with DC outputs?

Hey Omri ! Great video for beginners! I had a question. I saved my patches in VCV Rack 2 Free and they got saved in .vcv format. But when I opened them again, VCV Rack 2 gives me an error saying that VCV Rack patches cannot be opened in VCV Rack 2. i am not sure why this is happening. Does VCV Rack 2 Free not let you save patches ?
