The more videos you and others make of these things, the more money we save on top of developing an understanding of really cool gear. I want to buy all of these things, but it’s just not practical or possible. I really appreciate being able to emulate so much through VCV. Just gotta ignore the people who hate laptops on stage 😎 Thanks, Omri.
Cheers!
Such a cool video, love the tricks on how to get a bunch of modules to play together so effortlessly...
Thanks! Prism and Prince are so good for stuff like this
Dear Omri, you are truly the master of the VCV-Universe! Thank you again for this great video 🥰. Have a great Vorweihnachtszeit 🎄
Thank you! You too!
This!
What a great excercise! I have a Cosmos and it sounds pretty much the same. That Pink Floyd vibe in the final test is wonderful.
Hey, thanks so much!
Love this Omri. It’s screaming for a felt piano, I’m about to make it so, cheers! 🍄
Have fun!
Absolutely brilliant. VCV is getting to the point that I don't need to buy pedals ( I'm a guitar player ) and could create my own. And where I live, pedals are extremely expensive.
Yeah, you can definitely use VCV as a pedal setup. Have a look here - www.youtube.com/@VirtualModular/videos
I'm sure you will find this interesting :)
Truly beautiful patch. Very lovely and a great tutorial - thank you very much!
Glad you like it!
As always, fantastic explanation. Thanks Omri for the effort you did.
Glad you liked it!
Great patches. Thanks for posting this video. I'm going to try these out as I've been considering buying a Cosmos.
Glad to help!
Excellent! Such a beautiful and inspiring tutorial 🌟
Thanks so much!
Very nice Omri.
Thank you very much!
This is fantastic - thanks so much!
Cheers!
Very cool knowledge!
I’m honestly more excited about using this patch for my guitar than synths. Gonna be fun! Thanks for the great video and patch!
Have fun!
and now an video for Chase Bliss Audio Blooper :) thx
Goodness, very inspiring !
Thanks Omri. Love this kind of hardware breakdown video. Plenty of tricky pedals out there for you to dissect! Mood? Microcosm? Quick question: which mode were you in for supercell (sorry if I missed it!) thanks again! 🙏🏽
Thanks! Microcosm is on my list for a long time, but I'm not so sure how to approach it since it can do so much... About Supercell, I'm in the default granular mode :)
It's difficult to replicate pedals exactly but I had a few goes at the Microcosm and got some very similar sounds using Simpliciter. To be honest, I prefer to try and create new effects rather than emulating existing hardware. VCV is actually far more powerful and flexible than most pedals, for example Cosmos has 4 delay lines but you could easily patch up loads more in Rack. I've used 20+ delay modules on a mid range laptop before! Apart from one or two effects like a clean pitch shift/audio harmoniser VCV can do almost anything.
very inspiring! thanks so much for all you superb content ❤
Thanks!
that was awesome! well done!
Glad you liked it!
I recently saw somebody demonstrate that device and you've done a great job replicating it.
Thanks 🙂
Impressive !
... I was just today thinking about playing around with looping and stuff to take my monophonic hardware synth into chord territory! Great timing :)
Have fun!
magnificent, the first part with 4 princes of perception gives me strong Radiohead vibe, maybe reminds some pitches from them
I’m trying to follow along with my m-audio oxygen and play too, thank you Omri for such inspirational videos, every time i see them i get an urge to play something 😄
Merci !!! ❤
Greate as always
Thank you! Cheers!
Omni, I really love your technique videos and the style of breaking down pedals/gear. I tried this and found that using modules like the Vult Send, the Bogaudio Mix4, and using more CVMix's to add a feedback path to each of the delays to cascade (with some strict limiting on how much you can add), made a much more convincing Cosmos recreation. (in my opinion at least)
Wonderful video, and a great starting point for everyone to make some wonderful music with.
Thanks! There's definitely room for experimenting and improving.
Interesting concepts for a setup. Somehow I feel the NOI Sunflower module in VCV may be useful for this kind of thing too, something about cycling between delay signals with it's particular way of mixing adjacent inputs.
I'm not familiar with that one. I'll have a look
This is great. Thank you! Next you could tackle the NDLR. That would be very cool to have in VCVRack!
It's on my list for a long time now... I'll see what I can do
Sounds amazing for such a simple patch!
I would also like to see a patch based on the rhythmicon drum machine from Theremin 1930
Thanks!
Amazing..
Thank you! Cheers!
I think you just saved me 600 euros.
Always wonderful! Thx you! I could start with AN audio input module for input external hardware synth too?
Thanks! Yes, you can also use external gear via the Audio module
Sounding great. I used to do something similar in bidule if anyone remembers that?
wow 😮😮😮 thanks for new toy 🧸
Have fun!
So I approached this a bit differently, thinking hey Soma does some pretty cool ambient/generative/spacey creative stuff how much could this pedal cost on the used market? After waking up in the emergency room from Sticker Shock I am, once again, appreciative of The Master. Love this! Cheers Omri!
Oh man, feel better soon!
As always a great tutorial. What keyboard controler do you use?
Thanks! I use the Nektar Impact LX49+
😮😮😮
Omri what about make strega make noise in vcv rack? 🙏
I thought about it, but after having the Strega, I don't think the right modules are available. The Strega has such unique sound via the delay
Can you do something like this for the Hologram Microcosm ?
I have it on my list, but it can do so much, it's hard to have it all in one patch
@@OmriCohen-Music That's totally fair.
When you use the delay module in tempo synced mode it's limited to a maximum of one bar. Is there a way to extend it to 2 bars or 4 bars or maybe 8 bars ?
Hi! Yes, there are a few ways of doing this. You can change the PPQ setting in the right click menu to make the clock even slower, or just use a clock division as the clock signal. For example, divided by 4 will give you 4 bars. The delay will need a bit longer to sync up, but then it's rock solid :)
@@OmriCohen-Music Nice. Thanks. I will have to try that but there is also an issue with the feedback. When you set the feedback at 100% it's not supposed to amplify the existing buffer more and more until it explodes. That's wrong. That means that the feedback is way more than 100% but it's not showing the actual number. At least the freeze function seems to simulate the feedback being 100% without amplifying it out of control.
What midi keyboard do you have?
That's the Nektar LX49+
