Hey everyone, anyone here into VCV Rack or Cardinal ? Or any other similar software like Pure Data for example ?
I’ve really got into it recently, and was wondering if people on Lemmy were interested. Should I post stuff here or start a specific community ?
Yeah sample generation is great, or to create a synth patch to be played with a midi keyboard. There are quite a few sequencers and sequencer “accessories” (ie. expanders, clock dividers, quantisers, etc…), it’s definitely worth exploring them ! As I recommended in the thread, a midi controller with a few knobs and sliders is also a great way to “play” vcv/cardinal.
You use the beads as an fx processor software as well ?
Beads has a special mode with its own wavetable banks, so you can use it as a granural synth basically. Although, if you know how to play with feedback well, you don’t really need to feed it too meaningful of a material to get gnarly sounds out of it. In addition, you can feed standard line level signals into Beads, which means that it’s compatible with virtually any audio device.
