A lot of the modules are actually running the same software as the physical hardware modules. The were literally either made by the actual hardware manufacturers or taken from their open source firmware on their websites. So they’re 99% identical. (The 1% difference being that analog synths are unpredictable due to voltage fluctuations and these modules don’t have the problem/feature)
If you need help setting it up feel free to ask
also there’s tons more modules available here:- https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/wiki/List-of-plugins
Just make sure you download the correct binaries for whatever os you’re on.
Some modules are only for a particular os currently but there’s members on the
Vcvrack Facebook page compiling versions of those for other os’s.
Awesome. I want to dive into this immediately, but it’s getting late. I’m afraid I’d get too obsessed and end up lost in it until sunrise. Thanks!
@gonecrazy This VCVrack is pretty incredible. So cool that it is free. Why are people still spending so much on hardware? Or is the Eurorack thing starting to fade?
To be honest there is just something amazing when you have hardware in front of you.
You can get lost just playing with cables and blinking lights for hrs. Plus a real analog oscillator just sounds richer due to it being unreliable (the pitch changes due to voltage fluctuations. You can fake this by sending random cc to the pitch knob in vcv but it’s not exactly the same) As an owner of a make noise 0-coast I can definitely tell you that while I love vcvrack I would very much like to get more eurorack modules to expand my 0-coast. What’s amazing about vcvrack is that if you have a dc coupled audio interface you can actually send cv to physical eurorack compatible modules like the 0-coast. So I can basically try out what modules I will eventually buy for free. Sadly I don’t own a dc coupled interface yet but that might change soon.
@gonecrazy It's all just so mind-bogglingly awesome. Seems like you are in pretty deep and loving every minute. It would be great to work with all of these latest things in the hardware realm, but I have neither the funds nor the space for it. But rest assured, I am sitting over here admiring what you have going on over there. And you really seem to have your head wrapped around all the different tech, and I applaud you for that. Very inspiring to me.
I need to get in to eurorack. Badly. Keep telling myself this. I visit modulargrid and dream.
Someone buy me one already......please
Current squeeze is Rozeta into Sun/v__
With the latest 1.9.3 release you can double click any module and set it to MIDI in so bung them all in AUM and best of both worlds.
The key to SnuOvx, as I keep telling people, is the timeline. It's like a custom song arranger. Load in a bunch of other S______ loops and drag them around in the timeline. Really powerful and easy way to structure a song, if that's your thing.
I didn't get the timeline for the longest time. I kept trying to understand it in terms of track lanes and a time grid, like a normal DAW type of timeline. It's more like an open field where you can place your clips anywhere and they play when the play head rolls past them on the X axis. The Y axis is a free-for-all as far as where you place your clips is concerned. You can just stick them anywhere on the Y axis. It is really evokes a sense of freedom when you want to start building up a structured composition.
I'm sorely tempted to get the expert sleepers es8+es3+es6. But I will sorely miss using my Ica4+ and it's super convenient iOS<=>PC audio/midi. I own a beatstep pro so between that and the 0-coasts own midi=>CV I might actually be happy enough with the modulation/gate possibilities for now to be honest. Using the beatsteps drum gates as clock dividers is insanely fun. Might keep the more complex experiments in Ableton+VCVRack.
I just hope VCVRack let's us route more than 8 ins/outs eventually cause then I will not need any vsts at all. Will literally build whatever I want and record in live.
I 2nd this. VCV rack is incredible and probably the best gateway to modular.
As far as zMors goes, I think it’s more engaging and... dare I say it... interesting than Audulus. It’s incredibly well thought out and probably worth more than the regular price tag.
Couldn't have put it better myself @CracklePot and the freeform nature of it means I can use empty patterns for lyrics, silly scribbles etc.. Don't know of any other DAW that comes close in that respect.
Then KQ Mini is worth a look. It is in the sales (3,99) now and has a very "Doepfer system" attitute. So, if you are interested in hardware, it will help you to translate. It is easy to understand and dont take lots of ressources. The developer is very active in improving his app
The downside: It is a bit limited:
It really is a great learning tool (because ! of its limitations and its ease of use) - oh, and good sounds: no problem. If your are interested in modular FM: It is a paradise and sounds really great here.
anybody know how to set a module to ' midi out' in zmors so i could for e.g trigger my op1
EDIT: now i got zmors triggering my op 1, could anyone give me tipps on building a Sequencer? in zmors
2x8 Sequencer
or 16 step sequencer
Yes, VCVrack was a great suggestion for me. I’m completely lost at the moment, and no where near as knowledgeable as @gonekrazy3000 but the visual interface looks 1-to-1 the same as the hardware versions. And there are tons of videos about how to set up and patch hardware. So, it’ll be a great entry into that realm without having to drop any cash until I learn more.
Already set up an account and loaded a few modules to patch, but haven’t generated anything yet.
I did also buy zMors Mod and am liking the interface better already. It doesn’t seem to like loading IAAs much, slows to a crawl and can’t even scroll, but it handles AUs just fine. Will investigate later.
Thanks again to @gonekrazy3000 for the VCVrack tip. That’s exactly what I was really looking for. Sweet!
@skiphunt I think the easiest way to see if a modular app is for you is to look into the tutorials to get a sense of what is involved. If the initial investment needed to learn is more than you’re up for then I’d pass on the modular app. Alternatively you can look at the presets that come with an app and see if they’re useful in their own right so that once again you wouldn’t need to learn to program patches in the modular app.
What I don’t like about zMors modular is the scrolling to select an IAA is painfully slow if you have a lot of IAA apps installed. Selecting a preset on AU apps can be problematic.
I am tempted by your rec, but I have to find a Youtube where someone gets a good sound out of Zmors.
I noticed that. Really bad in a “gee, I hope this is at the top of the bug list” kind of way. But, my AUs scroll, load and perform just fine.
i highly recommend some of the free modules. specially the Vult plugin pack. his oscillators and filters are fantastic. i actually helped him make his oscillator by feeding him samples from my 0-coast
the end result is nothing like my physical synth but its a monster in its own right 
We should likely go private message with this I'm guessing, since this is getting really off topic now.
lol
I've installed the latest rack, created an account, installed the plugins it comes with. Installed a 3rd party plugin from the list you gave me, and just installed the Vult pack. I know how to add the plugins to the rack and how to patch one to another. But if you could be so kind just to tell me the very basic, primal beginnings of what you add to first generate signal, and what you add to hear that signal. I know... I'm an extreme beginner here... but, baby steps.
I highly recommend you watch this series:-
He goes quite indept with what all the modules do and I learnt quite a bit from watching his tutorials. It's all done inside VCVRack
Cool. Thanks. Yeah, I need a basic tutorial just to get out of the gate. I did manage to clumsily figure out a little on my own in the last half hour, but mostly clueless.
I honestly never found any convincing examples! I think I just took the plunge because I’m foolish and can’t go too long without buying a new app. When I first got it I scrolled through the presets and was super surprised at how good it sounded. After reading up on the modules and all the different functions, and the inteconnectiviy (external cv!), I realized it was a beast. I actually don’t love the interface and that’s what kept me at bay for so long. But it’s a pretty amazing program. You could always get a refund if it doesn’t do it for you. I’ve only done that with 2-3 apps in all my years buying, but it’s handy.
Please keep it public.
I am enjoying following this thread and am learning a lot, as well as being exposed to the VCVrack, which is all new info to me.
I would do terrible things to get my hands on a 0-coast.
Love this thanks guys. Did not even know about vcv
I'm super excited about this. This is perfect for what I've been looking for in the last few weeks or so... a way to play and learn about this stuff without having to spend the money before I know what I'm doing. And, an enviroment with visual representation of what the real stuff looks like. I'm thinking after I figure some of this stuff out from the VCVrack interface, the iOS modular apps will start making more sense too. I'm more of a visual learner and this is going to be perfect for me. Yes!!! Thanks again @gonekrazy3000
I learn most from deconstructing others peoples' wonderful patches at the moment: https://patchstorage.com/platform/vcv-rack/
Oh wow! I missed this patches collection. Thanks!
Glad I got zMors Modular, but I'm not that wild about the interface. Some things I like better than Audulus 3 and some things in Audulus 3 are better. Kind of a toss-up, but I'm actually now getting a bit further along in both due to the VCVrack platform and the links @gonekrazy3000 turned me on to.
Curious, this forum isn't likely the place to discuss the VCVrack stuff, but is there another forum anyone recommends that's more specifically about VCVrack stuff? I like the https://llllllll.co forums for a lot of stuff, and see VCVrack mentioned there some as well, but is there one good forum that's devoted entirely to VCVrack discussion?
Once I get a better understanding, I plan on revisiting the Audulus 3 forums, because I also dig that platform too. I just haven't been able to get over the initial learning curve with Audulus 3, but VCVrack is jiving better... at least so far it is.
