Bank Transfer Between VCV Pamela's PRO Workout & Hardware

video upload by ALM TV

"This video details the process of transferring banks between Pamela's PRO Workout in VCV Rack and the hardware module, making it possible to replicate patches from the virtual world in your system and vice versa. VCV's context menu options ‘Export backup’ and ‘Import backup’ work with the standard Pam PRO backup files, making transferring saved banks work in either direction.

Note, for bank transfer to work properly the firmware versions between the VCV and hardware Pam's must match. To display the FW version in VCV see the 'info' section in the context menu. We reccomend making a backup copy of the bank files before transferring."

Pam PRO Sync Guide

video upload by ALM TV

"Here we take a look at numerous ways to sync Pamela's PRO Workout with other hardware and software including syncing two Pams, external Din Sync, MIDI clock, LFO BPM modulation, the Pam Sync DAW plugin, and finally syncing the virtual Pam PRO in VCV Rack.

In general most forms of sync expect a standard 24PPQN clock and Run 'Din Sync' type signal set for the Clk and Run inputs. These settings can be changed from Pam's BPM menu to accomodate other common clock PPQN speeds and Run or Reset signals to align with the sync signals produced by other hardware devices."

The AtoVproject Dual Harmonic Oscillator is a monster!

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This is a rich, complex-sounding patch based around the Dual Harmonic Oscillator from AtoVproject. It’s a big, super-powerful module with two triangle-based VCOs that offer four octaves worth of harmonics, as well as regular sine, saw and pulse outputs via the expander. I’ll be covering it in more detail in a dedicated video soon, but in the meantime check out DivKid’s excellent deep dive if you want to know more about it: [posted here]

In this patch, it produces four melodic layers, with everything driven from a simple 8-step sequence out of the Jasmine & Olive Trees Traffic module switched over to the Water firmware. Joranalogue Filter 8 provides some quadrature LFO modulation to control the levels of the harmonics, and ALM Pamela’s Pro Workout provides clock, trigger patterns and transpose voltages. I’m also using the Nekyia Circuits Obsidian for some extra LFOs, and the Sosumi LPG on two voices - full video coming soon on all the Nekyia stuff, it’s great! Reverb is Valhalla Supermassive (in the box).

VCV Pamela's PRO Workout DAW Sync Setup

video upload by ALM TV

"Here we take a look at the simple setup process for syncing the VCV version of Pamela's PRO Workout to a DAW via our free Pam Sync Plugin or VCV's built in MIDI to CV module.

This process should work with any DAW but requires the pro version of VCV Rack for use as a plugin within your DAW.

*Note the sample rate must match between both VCV and the DAW for sync to work properly.

Pam Sync is a FREE simple ‘just works’ DAW plugin for syncing Pam to your DAWs clock via low latency audio signals. It uses 2 audio (i.e. stereo) channels to provide a ‘DIN sync’ type signal consisting of a clock and a run signal to be patched into the Pam’s ‘Clk’ and ‘Run’ inputs. Once connected Pam will stop and start with your DAW and match the tempo.

The plugin should work with any DAW that supports VST or Audio Units. See the README.txt in the download for more setup documentation.

Pam Sync is available now as a free download for both Windows and Mac. Get it here: busycircuits.com/almpg001"

Albers ambient jam.

"The pitch of Albers' 4 oscillators are being modulated with different rate sine waves from Pamela's Pro Workout. Albers' onboard pitch LFOs then create a stepped tone. The VCAs of the four oscillators are being controlled using two envelope generators and an envelope from Pam's Pro Workout. A fast decaying envelope is the sent to Albers' filter cutoff CV in.
Output to the microcosm set to one of the warp algorithms."

Pamela's PRO Workout: External CV Part 2 - Macros, Probabilistic Cross Fader, Acid Basslines

video upload by ALM TV

"Pamela's PRO Workout includes up to 4 built in (8 with AXON) freely assignable CV inputs that can control any and all of its parameters. This powerful feature allows for endless expressivity and complex modulation possibilities. Here we take a look at a few examples of how external CV can be used to broaden Pam's functionality even further, including the creation of a 'macro' modulation depth control, probabilistic rhythmic cross fader, and a 303 inspired acid bassline."

And a press release for PAMELA'S PRO WORKOUT FOR VCV RACK:

The ubiquitous clocked modulator Eurorack module Pamela’s PRO Workout is now available virtualised as a software plug in for VCV Rack - a free popular cross platform software based virtual modular synthesiser.

It’s array of must have clocking and modulation capabilities are now accessible from within VCV. Add a powerful essential tool to your VCV Rack or simply audition its feature set before acquiring the physical module.

VCV Pamela’s PRO Workout provides 8 highly editable outputs producing various control voltage signals, all correlated and synced to a BPM based master clock.

Each output can produce anything from simple clocked triggers to complex rhythmic waveforms, quanitsed melodic patterns or random chaos with many parameters controllable directly or via assigned external CV. These features, combined with a proven, easy to use and quick user interface provide almost limitless synced modulation possibilities in a tiny amount of space.

VCV Pamela's PRO Workout plugin runs the exact same core DSP and user interface code as the physical Eurorack module. It includes the

‘AXON-2’ CV expander and offers additional features such as support for multiple instances plus keyboard and mouse control shortcuts.

Available now from the VCV Rack Store for $20

Launched alongside VCV PAM PRO are two new freely available modules; the popular MCO & Pip Slope (mkII) both available now alongside a selection of other useful free ALM VCV modules:

• VCV Beast’s Chalkboard: Octave Switcher & More • VCV O/A/x2: Dual Offset & Attenuverter

Allemande (Disting EX's Poly Wavetable)

video upload by Electrum Modular

"I've been working on the Allemande from J. S. Bach's French Suite No. 4 in E-flat, BWV 815, and was frustrated that I couldn't hear all those long, held notes. Rather than select one of its cheesy organ presets, I decided to connect the piano to my (smaller) Eurorack case. It worked well with all of the polyphonic algorithms on the Disting EX, but the Poly Wavetable gives you the most options for using keyboard velocity not just to control volume but also to shape the timbre - via filter cutoff, wavetable position, etc. I set the envelope times/levels/curves so that the held notes would remain audible, but in the background.

Here is how I connected the piano to the modular: USB Midi cable - DOREMIDI midi host - 5-pin MIDI cable - TRS adaptor cable - MIDIXO breakout, which connected to the rear of the Disting via 4-pin ribbon cable. If there's a more direct way to connect them, please let me know in the comments!

Pamela's PRO Workout: Generative Sequencing Part 2 - Evolving Patterns

video upload by ALM TV

"Pamela's PRO Workout is a powerful generative source of both random rhythms and modulation. Combined with the loop parameters, pitch quantiser, and more, these sources of randomness can be transformed into repeating rhythmic or note sequences that can be altered and shaped or evolved. In this follow up to part 1 we take a look at how to reset the random seed using Cross Operations, creating a completely new sequence every 4 bars.

Note this can be done using any external CV as well by setting the Cross Source to 'In 1' or 'In 2'.
