Forge TME Vhikk X

An absolute BEAST of a Drone Synth! Harsh to Soft to totally out of this World! I've been modulating mine with Sloths and letting it open up rifts into other Dimensions!

Highly recommended!

Can you make a video with sound-examples?

I made a few the first night I got it where it was by itself, and also where I had Sloths V2 modulating everything on the Module. A link to one of those is here:

Another one (and the best video I've seen of it so far) is here:

Thank you so much.

Its incredible :D

Hey Chris,

Greetings! You're very welcome! I'm having a blast with it!

Happy Patching!

Long Days and Pleasant Nights!

FYI : new batch in October 2025 ;)

I just received mine. When I plugged it up, it was making a hideous screeching noise. But in less than a minute, just playing with the knobs (not even knowing what they did), I had it making a beautiful dreamscape. This is my new favorite module and I think I might create a 3u /104 hp system just supporting it.

Has anyone processed external audio? That's my next adventure.

This module is awesome!

Hey,

If anyone wants to trade their Vhikk X for my Elmyra 2 - let me know. Looking to trade.

The Vhikk X is a very versatile module, I never stop finding ways to work it into my patch. It does much more than just the drones you see in all the youtube video's. The only draw back is they can't make them fast enough for the demand!

A drawback is lack of documentation for each algorithm. Which is why I sold mine. I went with the Befaco Oneriroi.

@SwampRabbitMusicElectronics

How do you experience both?
Are you now satisfaced with the Oneiroi? Why?

I did read some short descriptions about the algorithms. They seem to be very unique and thought out, which makes me curious.
I have a Oneriroi and was thinking about to swap it with Vhikk x.

I'd love to know where those descriptions are. I didn't see them on the Forge TME website. I'd really love to see some diagrams, so I could better understand what each knob does.

I should quallify that I am selling all my hardware. I purchased the Befaco Oneriroi plugin for VCV Rack. I have a couple MIDI controllers (M-Audio Axiom Pro, and Korg nanoKONTROL2) that I can use for hands on control of VCV Rack modules.

They are two very different beasts. It's a very interesting module, but I got frustrated just twiddling knobs to try and understand what they do. The Vhikk X seems to be more geared towards evolving drones. The Oneriroi seems better at processing external sound sources, which is my main interest.

I did read it somewhere at reddit or modwiggler.
Now I only found this:
