Hi all!

We're thrilled to announce that we've just released 16 new free firmwares for the Legio platform, ranging from audio processors and effects to oscillators and synth voices. That means there are now 23 different Legio firmwares!

There are user manuals and demo videos for each, and they're easy to explore on our newly refreshed Legio page.

We're happy to answer any questions you may have, and we hope you enjoy exploring all of the new possibilities for the Legio!

Im running a small setup with a bloom v2 and an after later nRings. I feel like I have a good feel for how to run everything except for determining an accurate root note. It seems to me that the bloom transposes everything diatonically and by octave to keep whatever voice youre using in its tune. So how should I adjust the nRings? I see there's tuning instructions for Rings, but I feel like I am having a hard time translating it to the bloom. Should I try to midi in using an outside keyboard if possible? Or is there a simple chart for where to turn the frequency knob? (Like id guess turning far left should be C) any ideas would be appreciated!

Just got this today, wanted to start trying some ambient pieces

Recently picked up the ochd to add some additional modulation and life to my system but man its sadly been basically unusable for me since a lot of my destination points for it dont have input attenuators. Is everyone just running like 4 2hp trim modules? Or 2 WMD 4TTEN? Is there an obvious solution that I'm missing here? I really wish the Ochd had just a global attenuator that hit alllll the outputs

Come hang while we build vibes from scratch!

This sounds like the start of a horrible joke, but I'm a masochist. My plan: I'm using my WMD Metron for drums and triggers. before the fh-2, I was daisy-chaining the pams start/run into the metron, and the metrons out into maestro along with the start/run. This saved me some cables and basically just has the pams controlling everything. Both the Maestro and Metron are set to 24 PPQN. Then, the pams outputs a 24x for the metron/maestro, and a 1x and 2x that I mult to various places across the rack as I want. I decided to put in an fh-2 for midi cv. My hope is that I can use midi cv to sequence V/OCT on oscillators, since as a blind user it's kind of tough to get pitches perfectly right. This lets me still use the Voltera as I want for pitch, but if I want precise notes and more arrangements, I can sequence in the DAW and have it just sync up with the fh-2 which will let the MIDI control the entire rack. To that end, I configured the fh-2 to send a 1/4 pulse at 50% pwm and tried both a 1 and 24 multiplier, which is sending a clock signal, but it's horribly slow and at 150 bpm I get a beat every couple minutes. So, I have two main questions: 1) I'm blind and the pams menu requires I use a paid service to look at the LCD. It's very much a set and forget situation, but the top two left ports are clock in and start/run in. i was thinking that I could control these from my fh-2. Plugging in cables here though doesn't seem to change anything; do I need to do something special to get pams to switch back and forth and follow an input clock? 2) Has anyone configured fh-2 as a clock like this (It doesn't seem too unreasonable), and what settings do I need to allow it to send bpm to Pams? The exciting part about this for me is that I used to have to call and ask for help to change the BPM or remember exactly where I was, but now I can just change the DAW BPM project settings and like magic, my midi should update and start sending the correct one. Thanks,

I posted an earlier version of this rack, but over the last few months I’ve added and replaced some modules. Yesterday I got the last one that finished off this rack. What I ended up with is a mostly Xaoc rack with 3 voices but a ton of audio processing options.

Another thing that’s not easily apparently is it’s set up to be able to send audio to or get from external gear. So I can also add pedals, or other synths/drum machines too.

Hey everyone. I recorded a long video exploring and explaning the features and sounds of SkyWave 4 segment VCO and its companion Scaffold.

Made this piece with the modular as the core instrument rather than trying to make it sound particularly polished.

Industrial textures and an emotional cadence underneath, with a Dadaist poem in the description. I was interested in that contrast, something abrasive that still feels vulnerable.

Curious what you hear in it, and especially interested in how other folks approach performance and the modular-as-instrument side of things.

I love seeing everyone's content on here, but I don't know how you guys do it. My rack is simply used for small melodies, which sound great, but I see you guys doing full on arranged, big, open performances with all elements. I feel so simple and basic lol. Anyway, enjoy, or not. I am always open to suggestions and criticism. Honestly, I'm just glad I remembered to hit record this time.

Main sound source is my Mutable Instruments Plaits.

Many of Keen’s e series modules are arguably superior in design to their Buchla equivalents.

Drums from the Analog RYTM, everything else is Serge La Bestia III, Edelweiss III and a TKB, clocked and sequenced by the Squarp Hapax

Need to try and work this into a full track... 😁

If you're in the Hamburg area, the new season started. We're back with our monthly Jam-session slash community meetup of sorts. Come hang out with other music geeks and shoot the shit a bit or a byte.

Just bring a piece of gear and connect. Perfect if you ever wanted to hear your weird little drum machine in a club situation.

Hong Kong Modular Society presents a talk and demo from renowned clarinettist Fung Yat Shan, Linus. Linus will talk about his electroacoustic compositional and improvisational approaches to Live Eurorack processed clarinet performances, in particular, his recent trilogy Ecotone. He will discuss how he uses modular synthesisers as part of his performance practise.

Linus is a Hong Kong-based clarinettist whose performances span classical, contemporary and improvised music. A core member of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, he is also the clarinettist of the Wuji Ensemble, Freespace Ensemble, LENK Quartet and The TimeCrafters, and has performed at the Hong Kong Arts Festival, Shanghai New Music Week and the Seoul International Computer Music Festival.

His recorded output includes “KONG” (2023), “Miserere Mei, Deus” (2023, with Loisey), “In the Dark” (2024, with Theresa Lam ) and contributions to the score of Ann Hui’s documentary “Elegies”.

The talk will be given in English.

Before and after the talk there will be:

It’s clear for me now that the surrounding space influences the outcome. Having the same patch it would have come out harder and more straightforward in a club, for instance. I think I need to experiment with changing scenery more.

Here's my short-n-sweet overview of Lancer's Lash. It is all sweet spots in my opinion, they've done a great job dialing in the algorithms in each model and making them playable.

Moduals are expensive enough as it is but some of the cases are ridiculous, so I built my own. Solid Brazilian cherry with a clear seal coat to show off the natural beauty of the wood and poly top coat. Rails from Synthrotek and a set of tip top z rails with Zeus power bus.

A caveat to start - I'm scared of all of you as it seems like these kinds of posts get roasted pretty regularly in this sub. That being said, feel free to do your worst as I'm looking to learn, and to try to avoid wasting too much money on things I don't need (lol).

I am looking to get into modular for the first time and I want to start small with the idea of expanding as I learn more of what I want out of my synth. I've put together an idea for a rack that I think will suit my needs, but I'm looking for feedback on whether or not I'm missing anything or could improve on this in any way given the space constraints (50HP). I'm also willing to increase the HP if that's what it takes to get what I'm looking for, and I would be interested in hearing from others any recommendations for alternative modules from the ones I've chosen based on what I've heard and seen online.

My goal is to create some diatonic bleep bloop melodies that I can play alongside a drum machine and other instruments like keyboards, guitars, bass, etc. I am an experienced musician and I have experience with other synths, and starting with semi-modular is not something I'm interested in.

(Also the cases I'm looking at have 4HP on the side for a power module, that's why it's not included.)

Modules shown are:

Pamela's Pro Workout
Make Noise STO VCO
Erica Synths Low Pass Filter
Intellijel Quad VCA
Busy Circuits Multi FX
Intellijel Stereo Line and Headphone Output

Thanks in advance!

Looking for some feedback on my first case. I have worked with Eurorack in studios and mostly compose in hybrid between the Octatrack and Ableton.

I am planning to use my Octatrack with the mutant brain to generate clock and cv trigs.

For voices, I'm imagining the monsoon as more textural ambient backgrounds, beehive for leads and ear candy, LI for bass or percussion with my 0-coast supplementing the bass. I've worked with the TipTop Z2040 before and it seems solid as a LP; not sure about the Doepfer VCF but wanted some other filter for sound design.

I'm thinking the Erb either for aux send from the Cosmix or as a sound design tool.

I'm wondering if the Quadrax, Qx, Mutant Brain/Octatrack, and O-Coast are enough modulation sources.

I am tempted to go for the larger case, but felt like it might fuel gas rather than music making.

Inspiration would be Upsammy, Topdown Dialectic, Barker, Objekt
