Greetings,

All gods chillin' here, using a Gray Code generator to drive a variety of modules for a moody excursion on the Rack.

re: Gray code see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code.

Once again, the patch generates the material, i.e. there was no interaction on my part past the completed patch design. I click on a start button and away it goes.

Best,

You're getting rather good at this sort of thing. We'll have to watch out - we could be put out of business :lol:

Electronic meditation on a serious synthesizer. Amazing!

@folderol and @psyocean - Belated thanks for your listening patience and comments, all much appreciated.

The VCV Rack expansion continues, there are many new and tasty modules to research & deploy, but I find myself most interested in the construction of complex patches built from simple components. My recent work bases its primary audio and control sources on high-quality basic modules, and I continue to discover fascinating ways to create, connect, route, mix, and modify the output from those basic components.

I've also been avoiding the use of any purchased modules in my posted patches. To be clear, there are some excellent and highly recommended modules sold through the official VCV Rack Plugin Manager portal. I simply want my patches to be usable on any system running Rack with only its freely available module collections.

Again, thanks for listening and for your comments. New Year's greetings from an unseasonably rainy NW Ohio USA !

Best regards,

The ambience and flow remind me of David Crosby's instrumental,
Tamalpais High (At About 3:00). One could easily find parts to
piece together a theme or three, and as it is, playing along
with it is an enjoyable way to break in some new strings,
and replenish calouses :wink:

This is really cool, kind of sounds like menu/idle BGM for a game. Also, thanks for introducing VCV Rack. I think it's really interesting, although it seems pretty daunting to come up with a patch such as the one you used for this. Good stuff.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed my little sonic diversion. You're right, it is an ambient/background music, I like to let it play while I get started in the morning. :)

I started using VCV Rack in October 2017, shortly after it was announced on KVR. I came to it from a background weak in hands-on experience with modulars but strong in MIDI sequencing, Csound, and conventional DAWs. I spent the first year building hundreds of patches to learn what would happen when I connected this thing to that one. The principles of control voltage weren't exactly new, but I had a lot of terminology to learn or brush up on. The whole experience has renewed my interest in creating my own sounds - there are no presets in any of my patches - and I've also learned a new way of composing. For my purposes I consider the time well-spent.

Best regards, and thanks again for listening and for your comments.
