Hey there, wondering what aspects of the voltage research lab you feel like you would prefer to your 0-coast? Iām new to modular and semi-modular, but my research led me to decide the 0-coast was the best option for meā¦ until I stumbled upon the VRL. Of course, I was too late to the party, since theyāre seeming scarce these days.
Iām mostly looking for something I can make calming ambient melodies / soundscapes with (along the lines of artists like Emily A Sprague) as well as some less melodic, but organic-sounding soundscapes in the direction of some of Jim OāRourkeās Serge-based Steamroom releases. Obviously, I realize those artists have much more advanced setups and knowledge, so Iām not suggesting that I expect to be able reach those heights as a beginner with a desktop semi-modular, but those are the moods and types of sounds Iām hoping to work toward.
I really loved the VRLās nature sounds in their demo, and I like the idea of generating more of those at times instead of always using field recordings. Iāve seen some 0-Coast demos that are in the direction of what I like, warm twinkling generative melodies, nice pads, bird and wind sounds, noisy soundscapes full of natural/random-seeming movement, etc. but most of the sounds Iāve seen have been more kinda aggressive robotic sounding and not as appealing to me as what Iāve heard from the VRL so far.
So I guess this was a long winded way of wondering if Iāll be able to learn to patch more natural, acoustic feeling sounds into the 0-coast that can push it into VRL territory, or if those are more exclusive to the VRL. Also if it seems like the 0-coast would be a good way to get started toward the variety of sounds Iām going for. Sorry if any of this is phrased badly or if this is the wrong place to ask, Iām new here and still trying to find my footing in this world. Any help is much appreciated
