I’m relatively new to this movement in regards to Modular,
Eurorack, VCV Rack, MiRack etc though I am gaining in experience really fast.
There is a reason why there is “only” 400+ patches at the moment.
dRambo is only two years old.
VCV on the other hand has had thousands of users creating since see quote below.
There’s only a handful of dRambonauts.
There’s even fewer who regularly design and then there are the power users.
The developer is only one man.
His entire focus is dRambo and making sure it performs as expected in machine assembly code.
We, that is the beta team are also doing the same thing except we’re doing it with modules.
We are also spending a huge amount of time designing and putting together
projects, presets and almost entire apps within dRambo for not only ourselves
but for our fellow dRambonauts and eventually in regards to performance pieces;
entertainment for the masses.
“VCV was founded by Andrew Belt in 2016 and is based in Tennessee, USA. Its flagship product VCV Rack was released on September 10, 2017 at Knobcon after two years of development. It was based on an unreleased C++ modular audio engine written by Andrew in 2012.”
Personally speaking.
I was a newbie to modular when I started learning dRambo.
Since then I’ve reached the point that I am now able to design
a 32 step input sequencer(Vinnie Sage) and some rather interesting synths
and effects processors which I use quite a lot when doing production.
It took me a year of learning dRambo before I put together
my first iteration of the 32 step input sequencer.
When I actually started putting it together, it took a month to get it working
and another month to hone the sound.
It took 1700 or so modules to build.
Some of the beta team have designs that are far more elaborate.
Anyway here’s a musical interlude.
This track was entirely sequenced in dRambo including the visuals.
The visuals were layer together in Lumafusion to be precise.
Does the Patchstorage API offer any integration possibilities for fetching new patches within Drambo? https://patchstorage.com/docs/
This would be great. I've thought Mozaic would benefit from this too.
My apologies if I misinterpreted your comment.
I've noticed many users demanding and not taking
into account the environment for the creators.
I'm also really over protective.
In a way I did.
And FUN!
Which reminds me, while it is super fun, flexible and intuitive to host the Loopy Pro AU in Drambo, I haven’t tried hosting Drambo V2 in Loopy Pro yet. (Or even just hosting both Drambo and Loopy Pro AU instances in AUM!) it’s crazy the possibilities we now have!
remembers that the Drambo AUv3 has multi-out! - laughs in evil scientist style mwah haha ha
Awesome @Gravitas (I left a comment and thumbs up over on YT)
I too, have been a noob regarding modular synthesis for the most part, but as you say, we pick up things quickly around here. Some amazing teachers we have among us, as well as the most amazing developers!
I’ve tinkered with VCV on the desktop over the years, and understand the basics as far as subtractive synthesis goes, but I feel like I’m more apt to experiment in Drambo with its immediacy and intuitive workflow. (Imagine if VCV rack had a built-in Groovebox like that of Drambo?)
Agreed.
Personally speaking in this instance my label will not permit me to do so.
It will only be available as an IAP upon approval.
Once again agreed, hence my earlier explanation in regards to the time it's taking.
Thanks dude.
Much appreciated. 😁
Yes, indeed we do.
The effort that many of them put in is phenomenal.
They should big themselves once in awhile colloquially speaking.
I didn't have a clue about VCV, one of my students was harping on about
it when he was at Uni but at that time I was focused on music promotion
and running a band.
For me dRambo definitely opened up the door for modular and eurorack
and reminded me that I actually really like experimenting with sound.
Yeah, if VCV did? it would be impressive but we do have dRambo. 😏
I'm sort of having a VCV experience by using MiRack in dRambo which is fun.
So if you think that 400+ creations is "light", have you even tried them all?
The main benefit for me of Drambo in Loopy is Loopy's ability to completely idle plugins. This one is critical for me due to my outdated iPad Air 2. I commit to audio clips, but can still park the stuff that made them to wake up later to add more or redo something. I don't enable idle for Drambo though as I think it messes with it.
Loopy in Drambo makes a lot of sense compositionally though because of the sequencer, pattern mode, etc.
Loopy doesn't have multi out and doesn't have support for multi-out plugins, so that's one thing to consider.
Totally agreed @FP0 that more patches and projects would be great!
Patchstorage is open for everyone to register and upload their own creations with descriptions, tags for easier finding of your pearls, demo audio/video and a section for other users to chat about it.
This is true. Hopefully, it’s on @Michael ’s roadmap (I haven’t checked to see if it is)
Still happy that Drambo (and of course AUM) has support for multi-outs for now though. Hosting the Drambo multi out AU in Drambo standalone on the main track with each of the outs routed to their own respective tracks is crazy fun!
I find Loopy to be the best way to capture audio tracks and play them back with patterns, much better for my purposes than Flexi or Sampler. Loopy doesn’t have midi clips yet and doesn’t have the automation that Drambo does.
Drambo has the sequencer, clip launcher, and automation that Loopy is lacking just now, so it works better for me to put together a full song.
It is. 👍
@echoopera Do you think Drambo could also manage mimicking the Digitone ?
I don’t see why not…assuming you know how to create FM Synth Patches…which eludes me at this time 🥴

Hello Drambo friends, I have 2 questions:
When I have a track solo’d, I’d like to be able to select another track and see it’s modules. I have not been able to do this. It stays “locked on” the solo’d track. The only way I have found to get to another track is to tape the mute button again to turn solo off, then I can’t tap another track and change to it. Am I doing something wrong?
Is it possible to send a sidechain signal into the fab filter compressor?
Thanks in advance!
You can solo a track by swiping up on the track button (the upper row in the clip launcher) and mute it by swiping down. These gestures are toggles - swipe to enable, swipe again to disable.
Tapping on the track button will select it.
Does the FF comp have a sidechain input?
😍
Daaang! That was the quickest 30 thumbs ups I’ve ever got on YouTube! Thanks guys! 🙏
Blimey! Really enjoyed the track.
But the mix is something else, man! So deep, but still crisp. While I'm guessing that is helped by it being quite sparse i.e Not having too many layers playing at the exact same. But it's so dynamic, and the use of stereo is awesome.
I guess it's probably a bit redundant to ask if it's all done completely within Drambo, right?
“Blimey”, ain’t ‘eard that word for awhile.
Thank you.
🙏🏾
The main bass sound is one of my designs and I’m playing around with the automation.
The front end is one sound and then I wanted to see how it sounded in a mix.
I was pleasantly surprised so I bounced it down.
I put an external compressor on the synth bass sound
as this recording is direct from the Master Bus of my mixer
other than that, no 3rd party auv3’s, and it’s entirely dRambo except for the drum loops.
Here’s what I’m trying to do:
It does, but can’t figure it out in drambo. Here’s a vid of it working in AUM
In drambo the FF C-2 plug-in looks like it has two inputs maybe?
I’ve tried hooking either one of those to a kick channel like the native compressor, but the signal from the kick doesn’t ever get “into” the C-2 plug-in.
Connecting input 2 is the way it should work, I notified Giku of a similar issue with the Alteza ducker. I tried AU3FX:Push and it does show the input but trying to enable it says "The host does not provide an extra input bus". This definitely looks like a bug.
@drez
1. Just don't use the MUTE button. Swiping on tracks to solo/mute always works.
2. Sorry I don't own FF C2 but @Grandbear has done his research as it seems 😊
Ah I figured it out. I can tap the pattern of a track in the scene I’m in and it will take me to that track.. Excellent!
