Really? How does that work?

When you install Reaper, in the reaper installer, make sure you install Rea 64. It is an Asio driver. In VCV, you can choose Rea 64 as your output, and in Reaper, you can go to your inputs in your track, and choose Rea 64. Then all the audio from VCV will be directed to your Reaper track. You can then record all of the audio. This is just for audio though. If you want midi control, you can either do it all within VCV Rack as long as your clock generator is set to match your Daw BPM, or you can still use VCV Bridge, and set your ports correctly on a midi track. I think Rea 64 for me at least, works best as I dont really give a shit if I have to use midi within a DAW, I just do it all in VCV

Ah so this is a Windows option I think - although Mac has other ways to get audio/midi routing like this

3 new Modular releases just now at Softube!

3 of their own products are now available as modules within Modular. If you own them. If not, they are now on sale.
Monoment Bass - 3 modules
Statement Lead - 3 modules
Parallels - 5 modules (and some of the best looking software modules I’ve ever seen)

This should add a ton of new options for Modular. Each of these can do a lot on their own. Add in Model 72 from a couple weeks ago, Softube is really beefing up Modular with their own programs. I love Parallels.

they look amazing

Hmmm... Assuming you don’t meant the spectral resonator, the 4ms PEG is just envelopes, right?

You can do much with MATHS, but primarily it's an envelope generator.

I must have it confused with something else. Maybe Turing.

Anything in Voltage Modular? I can see a number of maths related modules but how close are they to 'Maths'?

Please give me an idea where Softube Modular is useful. Does anyone use it in their music for "normal" sounds (not very experimental sounds)? Maybe as bass, lead synth or for sequences/arpeggios?

SharksFin · Post by **SharksFin** » Tue Oct 13, 2020 3:09 pm

the twisted waveform mainly here...

Voltage Modular is cool, but I find it to be kind of a pain the ass comparing modules with real eurorack modules. Its not easy to locate a module like Maths, I dont even know if they have a comparable module. This is a problem with user created modules. I would like them to bring on emulations, rather than user created modules. Once VCV for DAW releases, its game over for everyone

Its a fair question I think. I love the sound of SM - make no mistake. But my issue with Eurorack is that gain staging becomes a tricky thing, and components are not necessarily tuned to each other, so sweet spots are not necessarily easily forthcoming as opposed to a fixed architecture. For me, it takes much more work compared to fixed that for me isn't necessarily with the time for certain, "simpler" sounds. Softube is very much like EUrorack, and gain staging challenges come along with that. However, that extra time usually does pay off, and the sounds and music that I make with SM are unlike anything else I use.

Which modules have the same sound quality as Softube? I much prefer the workflow of VCV and their polyphony implementation. Currently, we can run SM as a VST in VCV so....

I cant see why gain staging would be a problem in Eurorack. I have easily 40 or 50 mixing points in
my modular. Fixed arch synths can be faster certainly, but modular flexibility is tough to beat.

I like both personally.

Softube Modular - is it OK?
