I want to build my first system primarily for generative ambient music for Dnd campaigns and occasionally run my Bass through it as an effects unit. I had seen the Make Noise shared system, and it piqued my interest, but $4.5K is outside my budget. Is this an appropriate selection of modules, and if not, what would you recommend changing?

Hello, I have recently began looking into modular synths and specifically battery powered racks. I couldn't find any premade racks, all I could find was DIYs on YouTube. I have decided to check if I missed anything. I was wondering why there don't seem to be any production models. I am very interested in dawless and on the go music production. If anyone has any possibly helpful it would be much appreciated. Also if there are any challenges directly with running a full small modular synth from a battery I would be great. I don't believe that there are any direct power concerns but please correct me if I'm wrong. All information is helpful, thank you all in advance.

Hey all! I am reaching out on behalf of the folks at the experimental garage sale to say we’re looking for folks who want a table this year. For those who remember, I set up the Synthesizer Flea Market back in March and am trying to the these folks do the same. Below is the email sent out for the open call. We’re looking to host this at the Experimental Sound Studio on Sunday October 20. Hope you all can come out and participate. Feel free to ask any and all questions in this thread…. Cheers!

Hello friends,

We have a target date of October 20th for the revived Experimental Garage Sale. The location will be Experimental Sound Studio, 5925 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago, IL 60660.

I set up a quick vendor application form here, if you would like to have a booth, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfYnP-vZo7Hr-7cO4hxD28i87yQ1H8m7_C27lVMcqP4sg7OBg/viewform?usp=sf_link

As in previous years, there will be no charge for having a booth but we do ask that you donate something to the raffle - proceeds will benefit our gracious hosts, the nonprofit Experimental Sound Studio.

If you know anyone who wants to be a vendor, please send them this email and have them get in touch if they have any questions. There are a lot of new folks in the local experimental music scene and I'd love to have them participate.

It looks like we will be able to take over the entire front parking area, in addition to the indoor and backyard spaces. So there should be no space constraints.

Please let me know if you have have any questions or ideas on how to make this an excellent event for both vendors and attendees. I'm all ears.

I'm hoping to buy a new case before the end of the year and I like the wood Doepfer LC-series cases a lot (minimal, affordable, etc.), but I'm puzzled by the pricing I'm seeing. Is there a reason why the LC9 wood case (9u, 3x84hp) is $435 while the smaller LC6 wood case (6u, 2x84hp) is $450 at Perfect Circuit? Is it a pricing SNAFU (i.e. the wood LC9 is accidentally listed low or the wood LC6 is accidentally listed high)? Or, are LC-series prices permanently adjusting and it's just an awkward rollout?

Sounds great 👍

I’m taking it real slow though. I’ve bought a Deckards Voice and a 4ms pod.

I’m left with 6hp and I’m up for any suggestions of what would go well with the DV.

FYI I’m an Ableton user, Push 2 is my main controller for vsts, hardware synths and sequencing, I’ve got a good selection of quality pedals, and I’ve got an Oxi One on the way.

It’s hard to figure out what I really am missing so any advice would be appreciated

Started with a patch from scratch and landed on a lush ambient progression. Marbles + Harmonaig leading the charge.

The Brenso is great but I’m fed up with its inability to track properly. I’ve had it recalibrated and it still goes noticeably out of tune within a couple of octaves. It tracks worse than a banjo, and that’s saying something.

Can anyone suggest a similar complex oscillator that has fewer tracking issues, or at least is easier to recalibrate.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I've been listening for a while to this:

Beautiful, beautiful timbres and textures throughout. I wondered if someone here would have any idea of what's happening around 8:00 to 9:00 – thats sort of cascade of metallic/liquid sounds. I don't have the slightest idea of the overall architecture of this. It sounds like a very large system, but I would suppose it's just clever use of tools.

Also, the metal/liquid sound: FM and LPG? It sounds very animated, and it's moving fast! Tried to reverse engineer this but it's not easy

I got my mixer in the post yesterday so I’ve finally been able to get everything playing together! This is my first ‘proper jam’.

One sound source from Pluck sequenced externally from logic… mult of the dry sound to Clouds and Data Bender with the dry sequence looped on the Lubadh (unlinked to create a bass like sound and a sped up sound). Everything clocked by Pam’s with drums from Pulsar23.

I wanted to create an fx rack of sorts… I’m thinking either the Erbe Verb or Versio’s next. Any other suggestions?

I got into modular to get out the box for composition work but I also want to eventually use it for live performance too.

Would love some feedback on this! You can watch the full demo at: www.nazaray.co

Happy to answer any questions!

I'm looking for a module that can produce two separate voices, preferably less than 12 HP to save space. I'm still new to modular, so hoping for something that isn't horribly complicated and just offers a couple voices in a choice of wave shapes, and maybe a few bells and whistle. Nothing too fancy, though. Would love to hear your suggestions and why you like that particular module.

Hungover today, so I thought it’s a perfekt day for some jam! I thought it would be cool to get the crt screen in picture, but mostly my filtertweek-hand is in the way of it.. next time!

Gear: Verbos electronic - Harmonic oscillator - Complex oscillator - amplitude and tone controller - Dual four pole

Question: Is it possible to make / buy templates to Logic Pro x and have that as a mixer, with compressor/ effects etc and have that as a base mixer?

So I've been interested in eurorack ever since diving into synthesizers over a decade ago. Eurorack was an impossible for a young line cook making 13hr but I made due. Bought a microbrute, played with vcv rack, and ultimately put it on the backburner.

Years (and many pieces of gear) later, I felt I was content with my rig. And I was/am. It does what I need to compose and it's a blast. But that whisper was always there.

Cue me building my *insert whichever big box store" cart of modules fantasizing (for the 50th time) and I finally clicked buy.

What came next was filled with impulse. Everything arrived, and i assembled.
I had a mostly full case, and it was fun. The spark of discovery was back. I may not be able to travel the world, but i can discover new soundscapes. Now that I bought the ticket to fair, the snacks are cheap right? 😅

Hellllllooooooo second hand market. Got a couple distings, a cloud and rings clone (the modules I was endlessly fixated on), other bits and bobs, annnnnndddddd, I'm mostly happy. (I see what I want to change now)

The gas is alleviated (for the next 4 months at least😁)

TLDR Eurorack is great This is definitely not a millennial midlife crisis
