I could absolutely patch up my own generative ambient for the afternoon but of course I never do.
For one thing, I need audible alerts and call audio from a computer that is not the VCV rack host.
For another, I don't practice enough to come up with a good patch that I would listen to for longer than ten minutes.
That's on me I guess but I just can't wrap my head around what to practice here.
You want to learn to play the piano, you teach yourself to sight-read and start learning the fingering.
You want to learn guitar, same same, sabe.
You want to learn this shit? Good luck, nobody else knows what they're doing either.
(I am aware many modular players have produced video series about this and I've consumed many of them but at the end of the day I'm just twiddling knobs looking for The Good Sound and then struggling how to preserve information (and WHICH information) so that later when I want the good sound I can have it again.
