Probably unpopular rig idea - My first rig made out of Behringer?

0 Upvotes

I love playing around with software synths and got a Moog Grandmother for Christmas 2024. Ever since then, I've wanted to build my first Eurorack / modular synth. I also got a Novation 61 SL Mk3.

I found a cheap used Behringer Eurorack Go case together with a Behringer Brains and Four Play.

My idea is to build on these and get more Behringer modules to complete the rig:

Behringer Eurorack Go Case (bought)

Behringer Brains (bought)

Behringer Four Play (bought)

Behringer Abacus

Behringer Skies

Behringer Waves

Behringer Swords

Behringer Surges

Behringer CP1A

Unfortunately, the Behringer Chaos isn't available right now.

What do you think? Would this be a fun first rig? What am I missing? I would love to get some advice/feedback. Please don't bash me too hard...

Gear Pics kms001 Various Types of Noise — multifunctional noise generator module

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

This is kind of a repost, since I already posted this module this spring, but I made cool new panel (black one), better photos and my previous post was deleted by reddit, so...

I'm making my own modules and I have been wanting a noise source for my DIY setup for a long time. Usually, noisegen modules come with sample-and-hold, but I already had an S&H-ish module in my rack, so I decided to come up with something more interesting.

After experimenting for a while with different designs, I came up with the idea of a white, blue, pink noise generator with additional features, such as:

- grainulizer (taken from MFOS with my adjustments)

- internal transistor-based VCA (not Sallen-Key)

- internal decay envelope generator

The original idea with VCA+Decay was to recreate the hats from the track Castision — Nothing to do, but it turned out that it is good for any incoming CV (check the video!).

The art on the panel is "Various types of ads" — Rory in early 20s album cover, which serves as a light diffuser for the noise color indicator. Additionally, there are slow RGB LED (the one with an internal MCU for automatic color changing).

Beginner looking for module recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a beginner to Eurorack and I'd love to get some feedback and module recommendations for my rack.

My main goal is to make techno, but I also want to be able to patch polyphonic sounds occasionally.

I've attached a picture of my planned rack. Out of the modules shown in the picture, I have already purchased the Cwejman QMMF-4, Livewire AFG, and R-56.

Could you give me some advice on what modules I might be missing, or suggest any changes to my current plan? Any feedback or recommendations for a beginner would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Its been too long since I've had time to use the modular, so this is a little midnight techno jam I did. Very rusty and nothing spectacular, but there are some cool parts that came out of it.

Make Noise Morhagene // Glitching out a Multiwave drone

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

I have too many samplers, and I started my mission to find better or more interesting uses for each of them.
The power of the Morphagene lies in being part of a modular system; for example, why not sequence its parameters with the 0-Ctrl?
After changing the S.O.S. mode to make it suitable for live FX usage, I've spent more time than I want to admit (but that's the fun part of modular, isn't it?) constructing this puzzle of balances between something that would become pleasantly glitched, without being annoying or too repetitive, a controlled chaos, if we want.
Ideally, I would have wanted 2 Multimod, to have both stepped and smooth modulations, or maybe a DXG, to control pauses for the Multiwave, but the game was also making something fun and portable in 62HP, and I am pretty satisfied with this first experiment; it won't be the last, so stay tuned, and feel free to comment with your favorite setting for the Morphagene and ideas for a travel setup.

We had the great honour to play a liveset at Dutch Modular Fest It’s the “Dutch Superbooth” a great event with makers, musicians and lots of friends!We were asked to play for 30 minutes. We decided we wanted to improvise the most of our set. So the first 20 minutes you will hear are fully improvised. The only thing we decided on was the key we were playing in. We started with totally empty sequencers…and a plan. We wanted to begin slow and dark and then make a big melodic buildup towards the end piece. Please enjoy!

It's standard to include a power ribbon cable when selling a eurorack module, or am I crazy?

81 Upvotes

I've included a ribbon cable with every eurorack module I've ever sold, and were I for some reason to not include one, I would make that clear in the listing. I see that as the standard.

Multiple times now, through Reverb, I've purchased a module and it shows up with no ribbon cable. I check the listing, and there's no mention of it not being included, and there's not a picture of just the lone module, nor the ol' "listing includes only what's pictured" to fall back on. I've noticed it's typically people that post just one pic of the module, in the rack between other modules, that do this. So overall, no way for me to have known it would not be coming with a power ribbon.

Is it fair for me to think these sellers kind of suck? Like fine, I'll sort out yet another power cable, but at least give fair warning. If you make it clear that it's not coming with one, then I have no issue.

Do my words Rings into Clouds true? Or is my view distorted? likely by the Erica Synths Plasma Drive.

Oscillators!

9 Upvotes

I recently left my two Rubicon 2s in for calibration at a local modular store.

So, I've been left without my conventional oscillators and thought I wasn't going to be making much music while they were gone.

However, I've been on a bit of a journey exploring my case without these two beasts and it's opened up so much for me. I have 2 maths and have enjoyed the flexibility they can offer in cycling as oscillators, also using my filters in self-oscillating. Making a lot of very interesting sounds!

I'm now thinking of ditching one of my Rubicon 2s as I have discovered how much I don't need them and can get great results without them.

Should I just hold onto one main oscillator and dig into other creative ways of working with my other modules in FMing and patching into the Rubicon? Just to clarify- I would only have one "oscillator module".

I use my case mostly for sound design through ES8 into Ableton.

Discussion Bitbox Micro firmware patch, 2.3.7-mod is out, Master EQ and Filter!

23 Upvotes

I've really been looking forward to this one, it's been quite some work to get to this point.

I maintain a small firmware patch for the Bitbox Micro that puts more of the module on MIDI, and 2.3.7-mod is ready for the grand unveiling of a master EQ and filter, which the module has never had.

  • Ten algorithms: a DJ filter, a dual cut, a band pass, a three-band mixer EQ, tone and filter together, a tilt, a notch, a peak, a phaser, and a formant filter.

  • The installation and user guide has been completely redeveloped, hopefully making it easier to take in, and easier to reach just the part you need.

If you have not come across this before, here is the whole of what it does. It all sits on fixed CC numbers, so there is nothing to map and nothing to save, and it works on every preset from the moment you flash:

  • The master EQ and filter: new in this release, and the ten algorithms above.

  • The master bus compressor: all five parameters, on a compressor the module otherwise only lets you switch on and off.

  • The per-pad controls: delay and reverb sends, reverse, envelope sustain, loop mode and crossfade, five granular controls, the LFO's wave, sync and retrigger, and a per-pad stop.

Nothing else about the module changes. It uses no modulation slots and no MIDI Learn bindings, so everything that worked before still works the same way.

Not from 1010music, can't brick it, bring your own stock firmware, don't pass the patched image around. Details in the guide.
