The video, via Autodafe, demonstrates how to build a DIY module to host VCV Rack, the virtual Eurorack modular synth, inside a hardware Eurorack module.
Synthesizers.com – MU-format synth maker – has announced that a selection of its modules is now for free in VCV Rack, a popular virtual modular synth platform.
“We’re excited to share that we’ve partnered with Vult to bring 22 of our Synthesizers.com modules to VCV Rack,” they said. “These virtual modules are completely free to download, so you can patch all you want, all from the comfort of your computer.”
The selection of modules includes the modules needed to create a complete synth voice, along with a step sequencer and some of the company’s more advanced modules, like the Gate Math.
The intro video above by synthesist Omri Cohen offers a beginner-friendly intro to using the modules. Topics covered include:
00:00 – Introduction
00:25 – Subtractive voice
05:35 – Sequencer
10:54 – Sequential switch
13:46 – Wave splicing
17:15 – PWM with a clipper
20:19 – Fixed filter bank
23:17 – Polyphony
The Synthesizers.com VCV modules are available now as free, open source downloads. You can find out more about Synthesizers.com’s hardware modules at their site.
Black Noise has announced that it has made several modules available for free in VCV Rack.
This includes three virtual modules: COSMOS, Slew-LFO, and the new GOMA II.
What they have to say about them:
“In this initial release, we’ve concentrated on the highly requested COSMOS, Slew-LFO, and the brand-new GOMA II. COSMOS was an ideal choice for this launch because it’s such a groundbreaking module, even if it can be a bit tricky to wrap your head around—there’s really nothing else quite like it. By bringing COSMOS to VCV Rack, we aim to provide everyone with the opportunity to easily explore and unlock the full potential of this exceptional module!
We put in tremendous effort to ensure this port is as faithful to the hardware as possible, which was quite a challenge! The result is a remarkably accurate module that also incorporates features enabled by the software, such as polyphony and over-sampled logic outputs.
Additionally, we’ve seized this opportunity to introduce some new features for Slew-LFO and GOMA II, but we’ll leave it to users to discover those for themselves! We hope that users will enjoy this first release and that these modules will inspire their creativity and lead them to explore new sonic landscapes.”
