DESCRIPTION

Update 2!
A big error with the gate sequencer was fixed; It will no longer freeze indefinitely on a step if a mute is enabled. I also made a number of smaller improvements, including fixing each block's automation IDs.

I discovered an error within a macro I use frequently, an improper connection within the oversampled saturation macro from the Bento Mix. I have gone through each block and fixed it, so now they should sound even better!

I also added a cool little NI logo to the scope. I think it looks quite sharp!

Original Description:
Twelve blocks, inspired by the vast possibilities of modular synthesis. They suit a variety of different purposes, but all feature a tidy Rounds theme.

It contains a multi-input ring modulator, a three tap delay, a dual LFO, a VOSIM oscillator, and a variety of CV mixers. It also includes an ADSR envelope with controls over bias and polarity, and a compact sequenced gate mixer.

The different CV processors share common features, but in different combinations. The best one can be chosen for each situation.

Thanks for checking out my blocks! I really hope you like them!

Special thanks to Michael Hetrick, Benjamin Poddig, and Sandy Small. I used the ring mod & waveshaper from the Euro Reakt series, Poddig's oscillators and filters, and Sandy's slew limiter.

Yeah, there's no possibility of these being updated to being rack ready?..It's a shame..

Hey Brett are you going to update these Blocks for Rack use as well?

I just LOVE your emulation of the Sputnik Delay! Thanks so much for that! Any possibility to add the "grain" mode of the original Rounds Delay? I kind of checked inside and it's seems that your implementation is way different that the original so I could not easily add it myself. Cheers!

So personal... Open minded, always rich in new possibilities you (at least I) never thought of.

Can't wait to check this out. I was thinking it would be cool to have a rounds block similar to the Rounds digital (FM) oscillator engine.

Classic. Apart from having the rounds aesthetic, there's some really capable pieces of digital electronics in here.

Okay, to say by EuRounds? A artificial word for your work.

Blocks inspired by Eurorack and the style of Rounds Blocks, to be exact!

Version 1.2 includes a few minor bug fixes.

Sorry for the confusion. Unlike most blocks oscillators, VOSIM ships with key-tracking turned off. To toggle it, press the little buttons that look like keyboards, they're in the ring module.

Thanks for the awesome blocks! I can't, however for the life of me, get the VOSIM oscillator to change pitch when I play different notes on my controller. I have connected "notePitch", "Util Note In" and "Pitch and Gate" modules to try and get the notes to change when I play my controller. I have also played with the MIDI in and MIDI out settings in the "Connect" tab to no avail. I'm sure it is something simple that I'm not doing correctly.
