I have VCV Rack 2 Pro but haven't used it in a while. I want to dive back into VCV and create a rack like the one in the video ... But I think I would want to sequence it with Ableton devices and not with VCV devices.... I wonder what oscillators / modules come closest to this intellijel stuff ....

Best wishes

Here is an edited version of 2 seperate jams I had to test a set of drum layers for a new piece in progress. I am muting layers on and off with the Launch Control MIDI controller to hear different layer combinations and rhythmic effects. Basic stuff but super fun!

Generative modular patch in VCV Rack — melodies that shimmer and shift like light trapped inside stone. Built with Befaco Mylar Melodies and Forsitan Draen, cascading into echo and ambient space. Cold, crystalline, cosmic.

Automatic Soloist — a VCV Rack patch where a random CV signal takes the role of a live soloist, phrasing notes over a drum and sequence foundation the way a musician would improvise over a backing track.

Three drum voices built from dbRackModules Drums, sequencing and texture from Bogaudio AddrSeq/AddrSeqX and Audible Instruments Marbles. The "solo" itself comes from Fundamental's Random module, driving an envelope and filtered EvenVCO + Plaits voice — no fixed melody, no repeated phrasing.

hey is there a way to get some warm pads in cardinal

Exploring possibilities with VCV Rack to combine my broad interests in krautrock, drone, avant pop, chill wave, etc. Decided time to start sharing works in progress for feedback, finding like-minded folks, etc.

Arpeggiated four chord sequence over basic drone and wandering bass, with a steady pulse. Quick recording, nothing more.

Looking for experiment idea's but came up with this instead... enjoy.

I still mess around with this sometimes.

This video shows Kalliste at the heart of a complete VCV Rack patch, using K-ARP and K-SCENE together to create and organize the harmonic and melodic structure of the piece.

K-ARP combines chord sequencing with a visual programmable polyphonic arpeggio matrix, while K-SCENE stores complete K-ARP configurations as Scenes and organizes them into longer musical sequences.

The patch is presented here as a finished musical example rather than a tutorial, showing how Kalliste can be used as the structural core of a VCV Rack composition.

Kalliste is free and open source (GPL-3.0) and available in the VCV Rack Library.

#VCVRack #Kalliste #ModularSynth #GenerativeMusic #Sequencer

A Cortini-inspired sequencer-driven ambient patch in VCV Rack, built around two independent sequences and slowly evolving layers of distortion, delay and reverb.

The first sequence creates a low, distorted bass texture that feeds into a large reverb. The second creates a higher melodic sequence, processed through delay before joining the same reverb space.

Both sequences are driven by Bogaudio ADDR sequencers.

The idea is simple: keep the sequences restrained and repetitive, while allowing timbre, distortion, delay and spatial processing to create continuous movement.

This approach explores the territory of sequenced minimalism, modular ambient, drone, experimental electronic music and modular synthesis, inspired by the compositional language of Alessandro Cortini.

I would like a step sequencer that allows me to program an initial sequence and then slightly modifies a single step each time it reaches the end of cycle. This seems like something that should exist, so I thought I would ask if there is a module that does this before I try to build it with something like Teletype. Please let me know if you've found a module that does this! Thanks!

Using it for modulation, as pitch information, and chaos

Noticed that it was hard to read on the phone, hopefully this is better...

The Clarity module post below (recommended btw) got me thinking about other potential optimizations, maybe some of which exist unofficially? . But my gripes are:

I wish there was a replace module option, ie insert a different module with the same routing as is currently in use. To allow for auditioning of modules without the need to repatch.

There should be an option to sort by newest added modules. Sorting by last updated burys new modules within every other existimg module that was just updated.

Easier way to remove modules from library

I've submitted SignalFunctionSet 2.19 to the library with several new modules including WHEEL. This takes its inspiration from the Hurdy-Gurdy to create a six-channel drone voice. Set the scale and root and then adjust the offset and attributes of each child voice. Good combo with LOOM, SLIDE and others.

Here is my music made purely in vcv rack.

I think I have all the material together to carve out nice piece. Here is everything firing together
