An attempt to recreate Slacker’s Melody Generator in VCV Rack. Since I couldn’t find a module that works like the 4051 as a demuxer,* I finagled a workaround of sorts that seems to provide similar audio results, at the cost of more complexity. In fact, there are really 2 finagled solutions here, one of which is the 4019/DAC combo, which could be removed for a more “pure” solution.

The patch can be found here, and comes with a text file that lists the modules used.

VCV Rack – Melodegenerator

A Lunetta-inspired patch, attempting to recreate the Slacker Melody Generator circuit. The original schematic can be found here:https://electro-music.com/for…

* Note: I’m not necessarily saying such a module doesn’t exist, just that I couldn’t find it if it does– feel free to get in touch if you know of one.

Just for fun, a “3 Module Challenge” patch using Bogaudio’s Mix 4, Vult’s Lateralus filter (free version), and the VCV Delay module. The patch can be downloaded from the usual place.

A bit of VCV Rack drone action. Video is footage from the Kitty Horrorshow game Roads from the Haunted Cities Vol. 2 collection, processed with Acid Cam. Assembly and some additional video processing was done in Kdenlive.

As usual, the VCV Rack patch is available from here.

Back to VCV Rack for the audio here, video is a combo of my favorites: MilkDrop 2 being processed through Acid Cam. The VCV Rack patch is available from the FSA website, linked below.

As always (though I haven’t mentioned it recently), everything was assembled in Kdenlive. The VCV patch is available from the sounds page here.

I’ve been uploading stuff to patchstorage.com, starting with my VCV Rack patches. I’ve also started adding Reaktor stuff, and in the process have made a demo video for Loid’s Cousin. The others will follow in the near future.

“Loid’s Cousin” is a noisebox/sound generator based on concepts from my DIY Lunetta modular, complete with blinkenlichten. Lunettas are simple machines based…

Once again playing with VCV Rack 2. The video in this one is footage from Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, mangled with Acid Cam.

As usual, the VCV patch is available from the Patches page.

Another VCV Rack session, as usual, the patch is available here. This one was done with V2, so should definitely load fine for those who have updated the program. Video was captured from MilkDrop 2.

Noise Therapy: Session 017

No Description

If you want more noise, I also posted a new track to the Skin Contact Bandcamp page, a follow-up to last year’s “humbug.” It is available as a “pay what you want” download.

Playing with VCV Rack again… the audio and video both originate there with this one, though the video has been given the Acid Cam treatment. This patch was made in V1 of Rack, and I haven’t tested it to see if everything will load in the recently-released V2. The patch will be made available here just the same.

As a huge fan of the ESQ-1/SQ 80– and Ensoniq synths in general– I couldn’t resist getting Arturia’s new emulation during the introductory sale. Some minor issues aside, it seems to be a great emulation, and I’m having fun with it. I decided to put together a bank of patches for it, including a few sounds from my archive imported via SysEx and modified. The imported files have all caps in the names, and overlap with the SQ-8L bank also available from the Synth Patches page, though these versions are different now.

The SQuee 80 bank includes 48 patches, and is a free download. Enjoy!
