Hey guys, I noticed a few people asking about the effects racks that VR briefly showed in his latest livestream in this thread. Specifically this comment chain. Thanks to /u/AbeLincolnOfficial's comment I jumped to the parts of the video and copied his versions of the racks. I also added macros to the pitched delay and stereoizer racks.
Random dribble about how I tried my best to nail the macro values, skip if you don't care
I tried to nail the macro ranges as best as I could for Nexus - I took his macros values, like he has 50 as his default for brightness then I mapped it to the respective reverb parameters. Then from there I modified the ranges until the bandpass frequency was 1.45kHz. I tried to be logical about it since modifying the maximum and minimum values change the 'center' value if you will, so I got them sitting at a reasonable 300Hz low and 16.5kHz high. Obviously you can change these at if you need more range.
RAMBLE OVER
Ok, now that I'm done rambling. Here's the download for the racks:

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE RACKS:

Nexus Delay and Reverb: This rack is the one most people want, it is fully stock Ableton so anyone can run it. I think I got most of the macros right, the BRIGHTNESS and MOD knobs were the ones where the range is pretty arbitrary but I explained above how I tried to copy VR's values. It should sound identical on stock settings. I also set the reverb to high quality.
Pitched Delay: This one is there for anyone who doesn't have a delay with a pitching option. It requires the free Pitchproof VST by Aegean Music. I opted for this over a Max For Live device since people who don't have Suite won't be able to use it (I think? Standard doesn't have it I'm sure?). It's pretty simple really, if you want to change the pitch amount (for whatever reason) you'll need to go into Pitchproof since it's not mappable. It's using the same delay settings VR used in the video, except I made it a bit faster and macro'd the feedback and chain volume for the effect. Pitchproof can be replaced by any pitching plugin really, I just used it since it's free.
Stereoizer: This rack is super simple but it needs Valhalla Room reverb (worth it a thousand times over) I mapped the width and the wet chain level macros for a bit of customisation, but the defaults are VR's values and theres no real need to change them :) Not much else to say about this one, it's super simple.
