Here´s the patch I promised in my Video (https://youtu.be/q6d-iW1_rqg):

Patch oscillator 2 out to VCF in / Patch VCF out to VCA in / Patch LFO bipolar out to Attenuator 1 in / Patch Attenuator 1 out to oscillator 2 frequency modulation 1 / patch envelope 2 out to Attenuator 1 CV in / adjust the parameters as written in the description below, and take the sound from the OUT jack in the patchbay.

Adjustments:

OSC 2 triangle wave

VCF frequency 3 o´clock position

VCF Resonance zero

As I promised in the video (https://youtu.be/qV_uLUCEuPw), here is the patch:

Enjoy your day!

To make in clear right at the beginning: this series of articles is not about having fun with or through music – not at all!

And let me begin in a rather vicious – and deliberately unfair – manner.

CARDINAL – Is it really like VCV Rack as a free VST?

Rolf´s Question:

Do we need a completely new kind of music?

“Do we need a new and completely different way of understanding music, of looking at music, of listening to music and to making/producing music again?”

Some Notes about Composing with Grains

Techniques and cross-compositional resources:

There are different ways to come to grips with the immense amount of grains and their individual parameters, but most of them have one strategy in common: the use of tendency masks.

For reasons of practicability (when producing music) it is better to use a DAW environment sometimes (and sometimes it is not, of course). And the VCV Rack version, which works inside of a DAW is not a free one – you have to pay for it. And even if the price is definitely appropriate – it is still a price, still money. There will be some of you, who cannot afford these about 200.- Dollars (September 2022). CARDINAL is free – no money needed. So, how to work with CARDINAL? What are the differences to VCV Rack? When should we use CARDINAL, and when VCV Rack?
