This is one of my favorite patches of yours! It's absolutely beautiful - full of unique textures and truly living voices. I will have to take some time to study this one more completely. Thank you so much for this beautiful tutorial!
Glad you enjoy it!
Always learn so much from your videos. And I keep coming back, and learning more. Thanks so much Omri.
I appreciate it, thank you!
Lovely module, and you made it so understandable. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much!
I’m not entirely sure just how many times I’ve watched this but each time I follow along and get slightly different results… Such a great video for demystifying Rampage’s many uses, cheers 👍🍄
It's such a deep module... Cheers!
Thank you very much ! You are the best !!! Each video surprises me more and more desire I have to play with vcv
I appreciate it, thank you!
This was a really fun & inspiring one! Thanks so much as always Omri!!
Thanks so much!
Wow, thanks man this is an awesome piece!!! Totally enjoyed it till the end!
Thank you!
Aboslutely wonderful.
Such an inspiration for learning.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool! Thank you very much!!!
Glad you liked it!
Nice, bookmarked for this afternoon. Love your generative work Omri ;)
Thanks so much!
@@OmriCohen-Music I'm actually working through this generative patch at the moment in VCV ( and adding my own bits in ) really liking the Rampage function though, very useful. Trying to work out a way of using two Quantum scales and switching between them to flip the whole patch :)
Inspiring as always. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hey, thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Man this is awesome and so inspiring thank you so much!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a Rampage in my real Eurorack. It was one of the very first DIY Kits i built and i absolutly love it. Everything is very immediate and you can get some crazy modulation loops out of this beautiful thing when its in cycle mode. It is definitly nothing for finetuned and subversive modulations. The name Rampage fits very well to its character, but it can be tamed when you know what you are doing. By the way, good video. Some parts gave me the John Carpenter "The Thing" feels - 8:37
Yeah, Rampage is a CV powerhouse... Cheers!
This sounds so amazing
Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@OmriCohen-Music hi Omri, do you have a tutorial on the doepfer precision adder or similar unit?
This is beautiful
Thanks!
So cool. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Awesome! Great work and tutor! THX!)
Glad you liked it!
Very nice!!
Cheers!

Excellent.
I have no rampaged my modular, but two other function generators. I’m going to try to get into a similar groove going.
Oh nice, let me know how it goes :)
Count Modula has a s&h, how could I have missed that at the top of the search, I've never tried Vult's either. I think I'm getting too used to the same modules. I usually don't really notice a lot of modules until I see them in your patches ^^'. I really like the textures part in your patch, especially with the panning it feels like real ocean waves. It's amazing what can be done with a simple noise sound. This is a really nice patch Omri, thanks again for the event.
Thanks so much! And you know what, maybe it's a good thing to use only a certain set of modules for a long time. That way you can really learn them and get the max out of them.
great stuff as always Omri !!! really Dark sad sound good for some sad movie !
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks again, Omri, once again a very informative video and a wonderfully sounding result. Could listen to it for hours. I learnt a lot from it, as usual: it makes me look deeper into the modules I know something about, but apparently not enough yet ;-). One question: at 1:05 you mention a technique of which I don't quite understand the name. I'd like to look it up and learn more about it. TIA!!
Hey, that's great, I'm happy you enjoyed it :) The technique I mention is the Krell patch. Have a look here - czcams.com/users/results?search_query=krell+patch
thanks master!
Cheers!
thanks FOR THE INFORMATIVE VIDEO :)
Glad it was helpful!
Just got a Rampage and all I have to say is... Oh ya! Sounds great
So good :) Have fun!
man u are a genius
The developers are the real geniuses...
My number one most used module lol
For anyone about to follow this video for the first time don't be an idiot like me and follow omri's advice on color coding.
thanks for your videos you've been such a help to me.
Cheers!
wtf this was awesome
Your insane 😊 🎉
Great demonstration/tutorial and pleasant to listen to. I bought a hardware Rampage because of the one in VCVRack. Unfortunately, I have a few outputs (B>A & MAX) that don't work yet.. still trying to find my soldering problem. I think it would be fun to add a clock divider and use that to change scales
Yeah, I also got a hardware Rampage thanks to VCV :) I hope you can make it work!
@@OmriCohen-Music It mostly works.. just need to trace a few lines. Thanks for your work!
Blimey !
This made me want (and get Saïch). I’m still contemplating Rampage although Maths and DSG can do most of what Rampage can do (I think).
Yeah, Saich is great! I fell in love with Rampage thanks to VCV so I don't have any experience with Maths or with DSG...
Reminds me of parts of the Never Cry Wolf soundtrack.
Are you up for adoption? I would give you food and a room, as long as you continue to make these wonderful things! Thanks for yet another great video/tutorial!
I'm glad you enjoyed it :) Cheers!
This is really interesting Omri, thank you (again). I’m not super clear on what the s& is sampling, as you don’t have an input though? Does it normal to sampling from noise or something?
As you guessed, it normals to sampling internal noise.
Yeah, many S&H modules have internal noise they can use if nothing is patched to the signal input. Cheers!
Hi! Great tutorial! Do you have a solution for the manual trigger rampage, so it plays whenever I start my patch, or press play in my DAW? I am using the VST3 version inside of Cubase 12 Pro together with the CLOCKED module? Any suggestions on modules that perform this task? I know of startup delay by Count Modula, but the minimum delay is 1 second and not directly when I open the patch.
I'm not so sure... I remember that there's another module that fires a trigger on startup, but I don't remember which one it is and if it's shorter than the Count Modula module...
Thanks @@OmriCohen-Music! I found a module called Manual from Bogaudio, that has the option to trigger on startup (via the right click menu), but works really buggy and most of the times requires you to still trigger it manually, but sometimes I have seen it do it's job correctly and instantly triggers the patch. Hoped there was a more reliable one. But thanks for your help and quick response, love your videos and you learned me so much!
Great tutorial! But did they change something with the VCAs? When I got to the part where you add the second VCA for the pitch, it basically woke up every dog in my neighborhood. After some research, I added an attenuator to keep the pitch from going up too high.
Edit: I just watched again and realized you brought the level of the VCA down by click and dragging the meter. There was another video I watched by someone who probably didn't know you could do that and used a reverse attenuator. I guess they thought that was just a meter. :)
Oh ok, yeah, I use the VCA as an attenuator most of the times :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work, as always, thanks! How come you didn’t need to use the IN on the Bog Audio S&H in the beginning?
Also, how do you flip between between colors on the cables? Cheers!
I'm happy you liked it :) The S&H has a built in noise source that it will sample, if there's nothing connect to the input. And for switching the cables, you just have to pull another cable for a different color. The colors will cycle in a loop. I hope it helps!
@@OmriCohen-Music helps a lot!!! thanks :D cheers!
(should really be a VCV global setting, to force the software to always divide the cable colors into different groups like you did in this vid!)
i do have a completely other question - - if i want a synced CV sine wave with say 4 bars, how do I achieve that? (meaning, i want it perfectly synced so the sine is continuous and has no breaks)
@@HenricWallmark Well, there are a few ways you can do this. First of all, there's a dedicated module for this, the BPM LFO from Frozen Wasteland. I like using envelopes for this so something like the AD from nysthi, or Rampage, and then trigger it with the clock division I want and set it. But I guess that the easiest will be to use a dedicated module.
@@OmriCohen-Music super big thanks! i'll try my way :D
is there no VCA-2 ? in the new vcv rack ? Cant find it...
Yeah, it's not available anymore, unfortunately. But you can use 2 VCAs I guess.
Quick question : why do you use the gain adjustment on MixMaster Jr. Instead of using the faders? Is there something I'm missing in how the mixer works?
This is going to be my next project. I really hope my PC can handle this one, as there's a lot going on.
Hi, I guess it's just something I got used to in other environments. Always reaching for the input gain first and using the faders for the so-called mixing stage. It's good practice to have the input gain at a good level so it hits everything else in the chain without clipping and such.
@@OmriCohen-Music thanks for the reply. That makes perfect sense, and is something I'm quite used to doing when I record real instruments in Reaper, as all my guitars have different pickups, and some are a lot "hotter" than others. For some reason my brain didn't pick up on it being the same for virtual hardware (although it should have). Cheers.
love your videos. but weird, whenever I use the simplicitor in this way, each time a recording samples comes to an end there is a quite a pronounced click, where as yours is smooth.
Thanks! Have a look here - czcams.com/video/P3WgQ4Ez-_o/video.html There's the Fade module that can help with that now :)
@@OmriCohen-Music ah thanks so much Omri! That's perfect. Subscribed to your Patreon.
@@helloemile I appreciate it :)
Have you tried vcv rack with M1 Mac? Do you have some crazy hardware?
No, I don't have an M1...
saich is phasing like crazy on my rack not sure what I am doing wrong it sounds so amazing on your rack =/
Hmmm... What do you mean by phasing?
How could you make simpliciter no clicking when looping?
I think that there are clicks actually, or?
@@OmriCohen-Music i will hear it better, I hear in my patch, but not in yours😳😳😳
@@CarloalbertoRigo I'm not so sure, to be honest... Try increasing the anti-click on Simpliciter, maybe it will help.
Hi . Interesting video. I try it , but i think my CPU will not powerful enough ! ☹️😬
I hope it will work for you
@@OmriCohen-Music I download your patch to later ( future new PC) , and made simple version with eco cpu modules 😉 . Now , i use rack 2 ! I test new module for me . Your Channel help me sometimes , but I remark that some brands cardinal are missing in vcv !
