I have updated my VCV emulation of the ELTA Solar 42 with a new patch bay using new modules from Venom version 2.8. This greatly improves the user interface.
The video is an updated version of my quantized Gentle Ambient Demo. I add more interest by slowly sequencing the root note of the patch. I also subtly detune the voices with Bogaudio Walk to give more motion.
The zip file contains 4 files:
– Solar 42 v2.1.vcv – The standalone emulator, totally unpatched
– Solar 42 v2.1 Original Ambient Demo.vcv – the original demo patch updated for the new emulator
– Solar 42 v2.1 Dark Ambient Demo.vcv – the dark ambient patch updated for the new emulator
– Solar 42 v2.1 Gentle Ambient.vcv – the patch for the demo video
Note that the last (Gentle Ambient) patch uses stacked inputs, so it requires Rack 2.5.2 to run.
Also, this emulator is quite large and CPU intensive. Some machines may struggle to run any of the patches. They all work on both my Windows desktop and M1 MacBook Air, though the Windows machine struggles while I am recording.
Amazing work! Thank’s for sharing :-)
