Rack'm Up

I have a couple irons in the fire at present that are going to take a little longer to get them where I want them, so this week is another VCV Rack Jam. Conveniently most of my focus for school this week has been sound design anyway, so I've had an excuse to be patching away. I tried to tone down the CPU intensive stuff this week to get something that I could record in one pass... I didn't quite pull that off, so there are a few little digital artifacts sneaking around in there that weren't intended and I did have to turn the sample rate down a bit to get it to record without major glitches... but still a fun exercise. I did find as I was mixing that something went wrong with the stereo imaging in the multi-track, so I got all my stems this week, but they were basically all in mono, and I had to do a little rescue work so it wasn't sooo bland, but I lost a lot of ping-pong effects and the like... I guess these are all just good arguments for using VCV Rack as a plugin in Logic rather than doing everything it it... sigh... I digress.
I had indented to add some transitions and maybe some old movie samples or the like, but I just ran out of time. I also tried like three different melodic lines with it, and I just kept hating everything I put on it. I'm generally terrible about coming back to things after I have marked them as "done" in my head, but this one has strong potential for a V2.
At any rate, I really feel like I have a good workflow for the Keystep Pro (which is like 60% of why I wanted to do these). So there may be a few more of these type of things coming down the pipe... though the next ones are more likely to be with hardware than VCV Rack I think ʅ（´◔౪◔）ʃ.
