drukqs Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hey thanks a lot. Yeah, it's just me messing with the some of the knobs and recording it into audacity, really. Then I cut up the parts I liked. Took about 10 minutes but the patch was done yesterday and today. Here's the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0k6wmrz9ixt77sr/kuto1.vcv?dl=0 It may be a little laggy. Something that's good to know is that I have no reservations about working with digital modular, so I don't use it as if it's a real modular rack. I make as many modules as I need that I can use in a free-flowing, stream of consciousness way. Like no one should have that many Braids modules, but lol, that's the way of PC, baby. I do want to experiment with what I can come up with with a realistic rack setup though. I still dream of owning a physical setup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still dream of owning a physical setup... hey thanks! btw how do you record it on audacity? i'm asking this because in win7 the option in your volume control panel to select internal recording doesn't exist anymore, i use and app called virtual cable which let's me record the internal pc sounds...

drukqs Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) It's not right here for you? I have Windows 7. http://i.imgur.com/SAJiBAY.png Maybe I have a different version of Audacity or maybe it's a soundcard thing or related hardware and/or routing issue? I'm running Audacity 2.1.2 if that helps at all. Edited February 4, 2018 by drukqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 My ancient laptop's built in graphics card is unable to cope with this. Maybe it's time to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising for burgers Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) i'm having troubles with ASIO4ALL and my Alesis io2 running the project that drukqs shared... i have to set the buffer size to 2048 samples and it still makes some crackling sounds... :( and it's not a very complex project despite the fact that is a pretty cool one!

mcbpete Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What GPU do you have, as Gocab mentioned above if it's an integrated CPU/GPU (a la the Intel video devices) then it'll get heavily throttled by the GUI (it's meant to get offloaded to a seperate GPU) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Member Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 It won't even start, apparently there's no opengl 2.0 driver/support. I'll try to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPU is the processor unit at the center of a GUI? i guess not... tried reading the wiki but didn't really got the diference... do you think maybe updating the GUI drivers to the latest version will make a diference? or installing all those openGL and directX wtfs?

mcbpete Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Ah you should be probably be OK then as it's separate graphics card, though the card nearly a decade old so may a bit of a bottleneck (updating the graphics card can't hurt mind). It could just be that your system needs a bit of an update - VCV is a bit processor intensive (less so than early builds but apparently is still being worked on for v1.0) CPU is the main sysyem processor, GPU is a separate processor (on yer GFX card) to offload graphics rendering - freeing the CPU to do other stuff.

Mmm if you've the latest drivers then I think not much more can be done than a bit of a hardware upgrade. Judging from the 4 gig of ram, 2009 graphics card and running Windows 7 I'm guessing the system is getting on a little ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Slightly off topic, but thanks everyone for your comments regarding Reaktor 6 and its ability to bring systems down. I was considering upgrading my Komplete package to the one with Reaktor 6. I won't bother now. It's not bad if you don't use BLOCKS. I'm glad I got it on one of their half price sales but it definitely has some issues. I wouldn't write it off completely, if nothing else it can easily replace hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of commercial VST plugins.

Silent Member Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yeah, so turns out my integrated graphic card doesn't have windows 10 drivers, no vcv rack for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thawkins Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Finally played around with the thing today. I think I have some sampling rate issues and maybe Soundflower is not the best thing to use to get the audio to Live, but fuck damn it was fun to mess around. I did not really know what I was doing most of the time and when I finished all the cords were a huge jungle and I could not understand what goes where anymore.

TubularCorporation Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Messed about with this a few days ago, and i works pretty well and sounds good. I've got to say, I actually prefer software that doesn't try to emulate the interface of hardware, because being hardware-like kind of works against the advantages of software (building a patch in this thing is slow and tedious compared to something like VAZ Modular or actual Eurorack hardware) but it's a great way to experiment with the Eurorack workflow and i sounds good and it actually performed OK on my 7 year old, mid-tier ASUS laptop which surprised me. It definitely seems to be a bit less CPU intensive than Reaktor, at any rate, although it seems a lot less efficient than Usine and Sunvox and Buzz. Definitely a cool thing, I hope when it leaves beta it doesn't become the synth equivalent of a free-to-play mobile game, though, where you get the basics free but getting advanced features ends up meaning you spend more on DLC than you would have spent if you just bought a commercial program - the fact that they're already charging for some of their modules is an ominous sign. If you bought all of the paid modules that are already available you'd only be $20 short of a full price Reaktor license (and nearly twice a full price Usine license) and you'd have gotten a LOT less. To be honest they're stretching a bit by calling this open source, freemium would be a more accurate label.

thawkins Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) At this point I am not even looking towards buying a software module, although if I get really into it who knows. But what I really like about this thing already is that they have made it open source so I already can just take the code and make my own stuff in it or mod existing things. This seems like a wonderful way to get into some C++ without having to wizard up the whole framework from scratch. I just hope using the thing does not metastasize into a full blown eurocrack habit.

TubularCorporation Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Yeah, that probably came out as a bit more critical than I meant it, you definitely don't need to get any f the paid plugins for it to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thawkins Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Yeah, that probably came out as a bit more critical than I meant it, you definitely don't need to get any f the paid plugins for it to be good. I get your point though, because even if it is free now it is not guaranteed to be free forever. If it becomes good and popular, someone can just come and buy them out, take down the code repositories and institute some price gouging plans or something. I better copy that source before just in case. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 man this is pretty fun. it sounds pretty close to the real thing according to my limited exposure. still need someone to explain all the mutable mumbo jumbo hippy garbage to me though.
