I forgot to mention that the newest crop of Moffenzeef modules has been ported to Meta, including the popular Boy Harsher x Moffenzeef “The Runner.” All of the standalone devices I made over the years I have since souped up with CV input for most parameters and 1v per octave for all pitch related stuff. In addition to all of this, I’ve done full video rundowns for all of the modules:
All of these updates are already live on the plugins page, I just forgot to post about it a few weeks ago.
I’m currently pushing Stargazer to VCV’s library and am very excited to share it with all of you as I added a bunch of intense features that weren’t on the original version. Over the next few weeks I’m planning on porting it to Meta, all of the other stuff in my VCV library is already integrated to the Meta plugin. Hang tight!
Apart from the unique modules, I really enjoy the stories (in the tutorial video’s) behind them. They make you feel much more connected and eager to try the modules out — hats off!
Thanks for posting this. I wish more people would make simple demos like these, especially for more esoteric modules. Made me think of new patches immediately.
Stargazer sounds amazing, will you port it as well?
Thank you! I would like to port Stargazer. I’m currently navigating it - it’s a large project. I did just submit the newest build to Cantrell which actually has some new modules that are pending in the VCV library as well. A bunch of optimizations were pushed too, and they run much better on MM. Yesterday I was able to load 16 Runners at once at 48/16 and hit 90% CPU. That’s 16 filters, 16 delay lines, 16 random LFOs, 16 mixers, 16 distortions, and 80 oscillators running at once! they should be up on the website in the next few days - it’s v2.0.6.
All of the new modules that were posted to VCV yesterday including Stargazer have been ported and optimized for MM. They’re going through their final testing before being posted. Hang tight! In the meantime, feel free to mess around with the VCV update.
Hey Everyone, just added a new module Quad Deviant to VCV and MM. Both of them are available for both libraries currently, on VCV’s website as well as ours.
Thanks! Unfortunately it won’t - the interface really doesn’t lend itself to metamodule since it’s core functionality relies on the fish and touch screen. I tried some adaptations and they all felt bad. Enjoy <3
I did however recently push v2.1.0 which is totally up to date with the VCV versions. New in 2.1:
-Added all sample banks to GMO
-Added all sample banks to 1800
-Added external audio input to Stargazer
-Stereo I/O added for [INTENSIFIES]
-Changed knobs for The Runner and [INTENSIFIES]
-Fixed all bi-color LEDs; LEDs used to draw underneath one another instead of having their own bulbs
Hi @Ross kind of a general question, but thought this place was good since I’m most interested in meta module so I coulD get a GMO and muskrat back into my rack- are there any noticeable differences “audible” between virtual and the actual modules?
Yes very much so. The GMO and Muskrat on metamodule are only approximations of what the hardware sounds like.
The real hardware is much more lively and gritty sounding. One thing about the hardware modules (for most of the product line) is that I deliberately skipped a step in the hardware design that most people do for entirely aesthetic reasons. There is absolutely no filtering or slew whatsoever on any of the ADCs and they are intentionally incredibly noisey. What this does in practice is add another layer of glitch and unpredictability when using the modules, especially GMO. GMO has all of these great little weird artifacts that are true “happy accidents” that don’t show up at all on the VCV or meta version.
Muskrat, although the code is the same it doesn’t sound the same as the real 8 bit hardware. I find the VCV one to sound much more brittle.
At the end of the day, this is all wine tasting seeing as the modules in question are designed to sound low resolution an awful by nature d
I should also note - a recent push I made to Meta was having all of the alt firmware and alt sample banks for the GMO available for you. You either right click to select them, or go down to the context menu at the bottom on meta.
they should be up on the website in the next few days - it’s v2.0.6.
Beautiful.
