Yet another VCV Rack playlist, anybody would think I like using it!
This time influenced by 23 Skidoo early Industrial Funk 1980-5.

Made using AI Macro Oscillator 2 and 1, Processed by Hora Multimode delay and Valley Plateau. Also Vult Basal gives a nice Jazz Funk bass guitar feel to the tracks, it's in the mix somewhere.

Post Punk Experiments

Hello again, 
This time a Ryuichi Sakamoto influenced tracks, made in VCV Rack using Audible Instruments Macro and Resonator using StochSeq4 and Euclidean Sequencer from Count Modula.

Ryuichi dreams

Field recordings of a night time wander,  including passing cars, bangs on metal bins modulated through VCV Rack Squinky's F2 Filter, Reverb and Chronoblob Delay. Then recorded into Nysthi's Simpliciter sliced and diced and hey presto these tracks were the outcome.

A night time wander

Another set of tracks created in VCV Rack. By messing up the JW Noteseq 16 you can 'slow' time down and Mr Chainov sure knows how to that.
Modulating Lomas Samper with FW BPM LFO and using samples about Dr Hoffman's discovery of LSD all helps.
I'm not advocating drug use! I'm just a sonic explorer

LSD- Time stretcheeees

Another VCV Rack patch, this time with some harmony and melody.
Using an old patch using a Polygon VCO, 2D modules by Sckitam, Axioma Rhodonea and others and even a VST via Host FX [NA Analog Rack Delay]. Drums have been added by dk and as.
All together a lovely package and didn't they do well folks! Hughie Greene would be proud! Opportunity Knocks indeed!

Electric Astounds man...

Another VCV Rack emulation of a guitar effect unit, this time the Roland GR-300 Guitar synthesizer, this blue box of joy was used to give the guitar more tones of the Orchestra, if you believe the adverts [1981]. This patch is all created in VCV Rack.
All the following guitarists used:
Pat Metheny
Chuck Hammer
Robert Fripp
Andy Summers
Adrian Belew
Charly García
Shawn Lane
Kazumi Watanabe
So it must have been good for the time.

Another track created in VCV Rack, part of a suite for VCP61 create a patch for the Equinox in March 2021. This is the first track in a trilogy of short track 4 minutes in length roughly.
I have used Surge Patch player and Polygene to produce this track and others. See screenshot on images.

Hello again you all 'out there' people!
Another rough synth creation patch, this time a 'Moog Matriarch' semi modular style synth

Moog Matriarch tones

Hello there you, 
Another quick patch, trying to recreate the sound of Ryoji Ikeda style noise music for Carlo Favero but anyone can enjoy it.

Another patch, another day in lockdown!
This one is using NYSTHI'S Musicbox1 to manipulate samples from Chinese Folk songs- available here-
https://archive.org/details/FamousAncientChineseTunes
There are of course other modules involved, see the image below. This set up was influenced by Chaircrusher on VCV Rack Community.

Hello everyone, hope the world finds you all well! 
I have been constructing a ‘Blooper style looper’, what I really need is a good switch that can turn off/on the options of ‘Reverse’-Hora Delay, ‘stutter’-RJ Stutter and tape effects-Chow Tape. Any suggestions for switches that will do the job?

Hello not uploaded for a while, here is my 1st use of VCV Rack controlled/manipulated by TouchOSC  on my new Tablet.
The patch is based on Kurt Graupner's Black Box FXs chain in a box which he supplied to each member of Faust in 1971.
Not sure how close I have got to the actual thing but it exists.

Hello you, 
I return to mangling virtual Guitars, this time under the influence of Manuel Goettsching's 'Inventions for Electric Guitars'.
All made with free VCV Rack modules, no guitars were hurt in the process!

Goettsching-esque Invention1

After messing with Ahornberg Tape recorder modules and adding JW Striker and Bogaudio's LLFO module, I discovered that you can rewind time/BPM  with the Striker and the LLFO, so here is a further development using Lomas Samplers, Bidoo Canard and Chronoblob using the same LLFO modulated Striker.

LLFO Mangledb BPM

Based on Brylie VCV Rack patch-- https://patchstorage.com/bco-2019-11-19/
I added Ahornberg Tape recorder to give it more variations in sounds. Did I succeed? Only you, listener can decide.
The 4 tracks are the testimony.

Animal Conurbation [reverb Mod Melody] Trk1

Another 2 tracks created in VCV Rack, based on German samples I created via the magic of text to speech, then reverbed and delayed via Nysthi's Quadsimpler and Plateau reverb supplying the weirdness, along with Ars Memoria from Magus Instrumentalus.
Enjoy the weirdness.

A tribute to Richard H Kirk, one of the original Trio of Cabaret Voltaire- Himself, Mr Mallinder+ Chris Watson. 
 I created this tribute after seeing an announcement in Electronic Sound Magazine, he is sadly missed by all fans of early Industrial music. Made in VCV Rack trying out the Befaco Morphader + Sampling Modulator made by Hemmer.

Subhermatoma - For Richard H Kirk

Hello, anyone out there? A delay based fx chain VCV Rack patch. Based on Hora Millenia module and 2Chronoblob delay modules.
This method was recommended by SuperMuppet on VCV Rack community form. I thank you sir!

A fixed rack created + put together by Omri Cohen [a legend] using Instruo and Befaco VCV rack modules. This suite is made using 'Berlin Ambient' patch. It has produced in my warped sensibilities three tracks that signify the collapse and degeneration of a God lead land where disease and pestilence reign! 
These are the last days!
All very cheerful stuff!
Enjoy or endure!

A further development of the Nautilus style VCV Rack by ambientspace. I have plugged in everything thing I can to get a beautiful underwater soundscape from one sound source.

NautilusDev 2024 - 03 - 12b - My Extreme Messing.8chan.

An original creation for a change in VCV Rack! A clock being fed into NYSTHI's Plateverb module started all this track and then by adding loads of other modules, it turned into a very 'dirty' TB303.
Enjoy the dirt and don't rave its naughty and social distancing is impossible. Be kind to everyone out there!

Dirty tb303

Hello u again, dear listener are you sitting comfortably... well not for long! 
Here are 5 Tracks made on VCV Rack, using Baconpaul's Distortion for guitars patch from VCV Rack community.
I have tormented the poor Surge Chorus to control their Delay as well as addition of a Wobbulator[sine wave and Lfo connected together]. 
Enjoy their torment. No guitars were used or harmed at all!!!

Post Punk to Shoegaze Guitar

Hello and Merry Christmas, a bit early but...
This is my favourite Christmas song, originally by Greg Lake, performed by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. There is an international choir of nationalities speaking the lyrics on my version.

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me the dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel, be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve!

Made with a midi file and using Roger Knight's midi plyer set up patch. 
All the words in the song sum  up all the hopes and fears of 2020.

I Believe In Father Christmas[Instrml]

I have been fighting and building up this synth voice in the style of Casio CZ-1 using free modules, mainly Mockba's CZ oscillator strips and Mosquito Labs PulseCZar and Fold Czar in VCV Rack.
See what you all think, have I got it right?

Another of my 'Synth creations', The Trautonium, this is based on Doepfer modules on this link:
http://www.doepfer.de/traut/traut_e.htm
This patch uses Worker 13's Frequency Dividers controller strip-thanks go out to him!

Trautonium As Per Doefper Mods

A patch for 'reformrefunction -Indra N' as a starting point for the Doom bass sound.
Made with 3 Saws modules, Squinky's, Chainsaw Sonus Dept and RJ Supersaw. Going through AS phaser and Squinky's Comp[ressor] into Mindmeld Mixer. All free modules.

Doom Saws =+ PHASED N Compressed

A further 2 tracks, both made in VCV Rack, the 1st one, a further development of my EMS Polysynthi for Midi Keys using my Akai LPK25 keyboard.
The second is an emulation of an Suzuki Omnichord from 1980, reproduced in VCV Rack, at times it is also reminiscent of an Harpsichord, or at least my twisted imagination's version.
Both tracks are mp3s.
