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.

Guitar crescendo

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.

Equinoxe-The ascent of man

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.

Ryoji Ikeda noise set

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?

Blooper style looper

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.

Simple TouchOsc controller 4 Complex

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 Inventionn 2

Another track created in VCV Rack using samples from Brian Eno's 'Music for Airports'-simple piano notes and a choir samples. https://teropa.info/loop/#/title
Using Nysthi Quadsimpler, 2 Ahornberg Tape recorder modules in 4 Track mode and Squinky's SFZ module playing Harp through a Filter Delay [RJ Modules]. Then through a  Mega size Reverb [Valley Plateau].

Music 4 Isolating In Lockdown

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.

The Summit of Profundity

Hello 3 different synthesis methods for Caribbean Steel drums. All in VCV Rack
1st one is FM-Worker 13
2nd Squinky SFZ file and player-Thanks to Ahornberg for the file.
3rd Yeager patch -2Triggers.
They all sound good to me, Which do you prefer?

Caribbean - Steel - Drum - FM - Synth - Worker13

After reading Squinky Labs quest for wavetable synths. I put together a VCV patch with 3 of the recommended ones, TT Waves, Iggy Labs' Tables and WCO. These produced a bass guitar style sound at first and then it mutated into an exploration of Outer Space. Enjoy it

Wavetable Battle= Guitar Strums n Space Glitch

Ryuichi Dreams - Percussion Ducks

Ryuichi Dreams - Perc 2

Three tracks made using VCV Rack and Ellottronix VST and Xenakios' Paulxstretch for the 1st one. Atmospheric  atmospheres created using
Hora Millennial both modes-delay and resonator-the drum parts. AI Macro and Resonator, BPMLFO -Frozen Wasteland and Squinky's F2 Filter.

Electric astounds man

This track is a diatribe against the British Royal family, especially the cost of the coronation of our dear beloved Big ears King Charles iii.
I am an anti royalist! After walking around Leeds and not seeing a single idiot dressed in a UK Jack suit, a lot of people don't care!

Anti royalist UK diatribe

My entry for the VCP Challenge #76-use one voice-in this case a Vult Opulus-going through reverb, 2 delays + a stereo Chorus.
The predominant sound from Opulus is a tuba sound. This is then whipped all over the place by the fxs.

Hunting horn o'doom

A track in VCV Rack with Ambientspace's Nautilus build with a VST Taurus bass pedal. The finished product is Dark Ambient goodness.

Nautilus discovers Taurus

Another track created using Ambientspace's Nautilus build, this time using Atelier's Palette module. For sonic overloaded Polyphony.

Organ diver

This is made all analogue with a guitar practice amp, reverb pedal and a Noisebox I created using springs wires and elastic bands through a microphone.
A dubby, techno soundscape was the result.

Noisebox Combo Suite

Another track created in VCV rack using Resonator has a guitar tone and some new modules from They probably Alias-WollfUp, Ghost Raccoon and Octoformer [ring mod].
This is the product of my sick mind huzzah!! Mwaaahaaa!!

Wollf Time Bends.8chan

Another analogue box creation. This time a Walkman tape player put through Analogue delay, Reverb and A Multifx one [Sonicake].
A beautiful sonic wash of dirty hiss and a vague sense of a tune [sorry unintentional]

Walkman Of Doom N Fxs Combo

Another VCV Rack produced track, this time a DAF [Deutsche Amerikanische Freundeschaft] Bass sound that morphed into a vocoder/talkbox style Electronic Body Music track.
Not bad to say there are so few modules used.

Slap Bass Elements - Muscler Control - DAF Vocoder.6chan.

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.

Dulcitone samples +Yeager Sines vcv rack selection and Vault Celestatone Vst. A creepy unnerving soundscape is the result, Wunderbar.

Caruso Walkman Vs Fxs

I have been messing with self feedback on pedals this afternoon. There is a delay self connected via splitter cable to get that Karplus strong, then a LP/HP Filter pedal, next Gamba pedal[orchestral sounds synth]. Then dual delay pedal and finally reverb pedal to guitar mini amp.

Audrey cheapo-pedals-KP [combo)

After messing around with George Locke's 'SOTRS Caterina Barbieri' patch, I created this track. Polynesian throat singing was the result. Enjoy the sounds of faraway Isles in the Pacific. No formants were used or harmed.

Polynesian throat singing

A couple of tracks I made using 'Wolki's minimal techno' patch as a starting point and after days of fiddling about, here they are.

Dark Techno

Another entry for the VCP 56 Dervish D challenge. Rudimentary synthesis of Middle Eastern strings and samples from Loopmasters free 'Arabian Voices pack'

The track has a Middle Eastern feel to it. See what you all think of it.

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

Another simple one strip patch. This time performing guitar looping emulation using AI's Macro Oscillator, Resonator as sound sources, triggered by Sha#bang's Polyrhythmic Clock and Frozen Wasteland's BPM LFO. Then into the looping section-Gavin Rough's Lilac Looper and Sonus Dept. Foursome then into Chronoblob for tape style modulation and next into Valley's Plateau. Finally MindMeld's mixer and Aux modules.

Guitar ambient Crescendo

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

Hello again, here I go on another sonic journey. After watching ‘Bright Sparks’ documentary-particularly the Freeman String synthesiser section, he mentioned he was in a band playing the Clavioline through vibrator and Watkins Copycat delay unit. I have assembled a ‘very rough’ patch based on square waves, vibrator, Vacuumba tube distortion, Chorus and Chronoblob.
Thanks for your time.

Clavioiline square synth

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.

Omnichord try out

EMS Polysynthi- Midi keys

Another VCV Rack simple synth patch this time based around 2 Bidoo Emile png scanner modules, 1 going into Bogaudio's FM OP and the other into Bidoo's CiaCos oscillator. Then sequenced by Frozen Wasteland's Impulse Control. Then delayed [Chronoblob] and then Reverbed[Plateau]. I had to put a Cf Peak module in between to calm the sound.
