Working with Scenes in VCV Rack

Музыка

** UPDATE - Since the last version of the nysthi collection, the CV input of Jooper for selecting the scenes is now responding to pitch information so you can also control it with your Midi keyboard or with something like TwelveKey from Impromptu **
For many people who are coming to VCV Rack from a DAW environment, creating and using scenes is a big part of their compositional process, and in this video, we will create scenes with the help of Jooper from nysthi, and look at how we can trigger the different scenes manually with the computer keyboard or with an external controller, and also how to automate the change between the scenes in synchronization with our clock.

    Another great video Omri, super useful! Janneker and Jooper seem like a killer combination, I will be using those for sure. And that was a really nice patch you were demonstrating! A couple of notes: For switching and/or holding between two different voltages, the Bogaudio:switch module is very effective, especially when used in latch-mode. Also, UMix works fine for mixing pitch-CV, but you have to right-click and select "CV mode" :-) Thanks again Omri!

    @@6a616e_ Well, that's the beauty of using the Mute8 module because you can route everything through it, not only audio. So let's say, you can send the gates\triggers first through the Mute8 and then to the destination, and like this you can mute the gates themselves. You can also send the audio BEFORE it goes to the delay everb through the Mute8 so when you mute the audio, the delay everb will play the tail.

This would save you the extra work on the stereo channels. Most mixer have relative rather than absolute for the level CV so your mix won’t be effected. Cheers!

    This is something that I've been looking for. I can envision using the scenes feature of Jooper to create song structure, and the scenes feature of the reWin quantizer to create chord changes in generative patches. I'll probably need to buy a new computer to handle that many modules at once. However, I've not yet been able to get Jooper to respond to SEL CV inputs the way the video demonstrates; not sure what's up with that. Haven't yet tried to use CV to switch scenes in reWin.

    Also, what can I do when a module only allows one input/output and the reverb module has both L and R in/out? Is there a correct way to put it in the chain, or to mix the two signals? Not sure if I need to be putting them on separate mixer channels (which would be annoying having the volumes not linked). Idk I'm a bit confused. Modular is overwhelming. Great videos though, I wouldn't have even considered getting into this if it wasn't for you. I'm probably gonna buy your full series eventually.

    Don't worry about it, I'm happy I can help :) Modular can be indeed overwhelming but take it step by step. There's something common to see in modular and those are normalized connections, which means that even without connecting any cable to an input, the connection would be normalized, would be internally connected. For example, most reverbs in VCV have the right input normalized to the left input so by connecting a signal ONLY to the left input, it will automatically go also to the right input and there's no need to make this connection. I don't know which reverb are you using, but there's a chance that you don't need to do anything for it to fully work with both channels. Does this make sense?

    5 жыл бұрын

    Well, that's true, when I make music, I don't use send and return at all, but it's actually not because of creating and working with scenes. I like to think of effects like reverb and delay as instruments by themselves and use them as a sound design tool in the chain itself. In live streams and videos, it's much easier for me to just use sends, and it doesn't take a lot of time to make changes. I hope it makes sense...
