Magic Music Visuals VS VCV Rack

I've been looking hard at video synthesis for a few months now. Downloaded Magic Music Visuals and have been playing around with it (it's feature packed and pretty easy to learn), but I'm a DAWless musician and would really like to remain so with video synthesis. Source: 10 months ago

I use Magic Music Visuals. MMV is like $79, and it's really simple if you have any experience with "box and line" software like Reaktor. I tested a bunch of apps, and MMV took me less than an hour to get good results, and it was one of the cheapest. I know there's lots of other options, but I have never felt like I needed to get something else. Source: over 1 year ago

Check out Magic Music Visuals pretty simple to use - I knocked this up fairly quickly for one of my tunes. Source: over 1 year ago

> It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year. http://cardinal.kx.studio https://vcvrack.com/ The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter. Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

A music synthesizer. It's a pathway to learning electronics, music, and the nature of sound. There are cheap kits, cheap synths, lots of kinds of synths, and there are much more complicated and expensive systems you can grow into. You can get software synths also, VCV Rack is a free though complex one: https://vcvrack.com/ However I'd recommend an inexpensive hardware one with real knobs you can turn, like one... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

What really opened my eyes was the Nord Micromodular; it taught me what I just described. It showed me how limited other synths were - but that limitation was a trade-off because it's much faster to make something on a fixed-structure synth than on a modular, in most cases. Nowadays, you can use https://vcvrack.com/ instead of a small limited box that needs Windows 98 to run the editor on. Source: 11 months ago

Also I would suggest the paid version of VCV rack which works as a VST too ( the free version is just stand alone ) Expecially when experimenting with modular ( believe me, it can save you a fortune whilst you learn what different modules do ) I would also recommend Omri Cohens Youtube channel for learning this too.

Would be way easier with VCV rack than a DAW as there's already almost 3k modules including a lot of granular and other complex ones that blow away a lot of pedals: https://vcvrack.com/. Source: 12 months ago
