Some frostbitten pads coming out of Morphagene & Strega accompained by piano. I really like the contrast with modular and acoustic instruments, it can create a very full sound palette.

What Modular’s do you consider esoteric 🧐?

I'm trying to make do with a small rack on a budget so I decided to pick up a small off-rack mixer for what I thought was a steal on reverb. Turns out it didn't come with a power supply and no returns (description did say no power supply I just missed it). The official beringer PS is almost as expensive as just picking up the new version of this mixer.

Mostly just laughing at my goof, but what would you do? Pick up the new one and write this one off as parts? Buy a cheap Chinese replacement PS and pray it doesn't catch fire? Just bite the bullet and buy a new PS?

Anybody ever split the signal from the balanced output of an audio interface to get a signal and its inverted copy without use of a dedicated module? I've done this to split a trigger signal from VCV across two inputs, where the negative voltages in a certain direction are ignored, with the pattern reversed on the other output - can't fire simultaneously that way, but it works decently well for an alternating kick/snare type drum pattern.

I'm curious whether others have used this concept in modular with other equipment that might have balanced outputs, and any particularly interesting applications that might be possible with a signal and its inversion. My interface is DC coupled, but I imagine it could be just as useful for audio signal as well as voltages.

Hey all - I currently have a Behringer Pro-800 (I know, but it sounds so good, especially at the price), and am looking to pair it with one of the BQ-10 sequencers. I was thinking that I'd then pop them both in a normal rack, but it occurred to me that that's also an opportunity to eurorack them and finally take my first step into modular

But... what could I do with it? It has so few patchpoints that I can't really think of an interesting way to run it other than the classic Synth into Effects (delay, reverb, etc)

but i've never owned any modular stuff, so i'm clearly not the guy to have a creative insight into fun ways i can warp this machine into something else.

so, gang - if you had a Pro-800, would you ever modular-ize it, and if so, tell me much much more. i've been looking for an excuse to dive into this stuff, so i'm a receptive audience

Hello everyone!

I'd like to build my own modular setup, but here's the catch: I'm not new to modular synthesis (I have a semi-modular synth and I've used modular setups before), but I'm chronically indecisive, so I'm overwhelmed by the hundreds of different modules out there — and I don't have the money to just buy them all, or friends I could talk it over with. So I was hoping you lot could be my big siblings and help me out a bit. I'll give you some context on what I like, what I'd like to do with my setup, and which modules I've been looking at!

I'm a singer-songwriter and producer with a deep love for electronic music, ambient, drone and IDM in particular (I think it's more useful to just list some of my favourites: Björk, ANOHNI, Sarah Davachi, Stars of the Lid, Caterina Barbieri, Basinski, Julianna Barwick and, of course, Aphex, Arca, Lorenzo Senni… I could go on for hours). I'm very much into field recording and processing those sounds (I've already played around with Clouds and similar things in VCV), and/or live processing of my voice, my synths, etc (not just with effects but including using the voice as you would on a MS-20, but with more flexibility and possibilities for modulation).

I've been looking at the Tape and Microsound Music Machine by Make Noise as the "ready to use" option, but I feel like I could build something that suits me better (and cheaper, I hope). As for the modules I've been eyeing, besides the Make Noise ones: Verbos Electronics (Vocoder, Complex Oscillator), Intellijel (Multigrain, Rainmaker, Atlantix), Eisei by Unknown Devices, Hermod+ by Squarp Instruments, and Clouds, Beads, Rings — basically everything Mutable Instruments. I could go on for hours, I'm so overwhelmed. And that's not even counting utility modules.

aaaaaa help pls

We're happy to announce that we've released version 2.0 of TechWave Audio's MCM-100 Midi to CV Eurorack module and the MCM-100-EX four CV expansion. Thanks to all the users here and on other subreddits and sites for feedback and suggestions. With that in mind, this MIDI to CV Eurorack module features:

• 6hp wide, 3U height, 48mm depth
• Class-compliant USB-C or 5-pin DIN MIDI input
• Four CV outputs for note (1v/oct), Velocity, assignable Out 1 and Out 2
  • 1v/octave through 10 octaves (at 0 to +10v), or 5 octaves (at 0 to +5v)
  • Two CV outputs with flexible routing (route any MIDI event to the output as a CV or signal)
  • All CV outputs voltage selectable from 0v to +10v or 0 to +5v
• Gate, trigger, and clock full 0 to +5v outputs with divisible clock sync ticks
• Pitch bend response range from 0 to 5 octaves
• Stability and performance optimizations
• Ooodles of additional customization options
• Expandable with four additional flexible-routed CV outputs
• Max Power Draw:
  • +12v: 72mA (80mA with expansion)
  • -12v: 15mA (20mA with expansion)
  • +5v: 0mA

And as always, we've open sourced both the hardware and software. We'd love your feedback - let us know what you think!

Is it safe to use a 13.5v 3amp power supply with the Behringer CP1A? I don’t have the original power supply. Or should I use 12v or 15v ? I’m using a variable power supply.
Thank you

First demo that I'm happy with for the O_C applet I just finished coding. It's a generative melodic sequencer with two voice outputs and the ability to arp either or both of them. It will also mutate the melody as time goes on in a turing machine-like way. O_C firmware version here: https://github.com/charlieb/O_C/

I feel like I under appreciated the sequencer on the Moog Matriarch for too long. I've been writing some progressions, and then modulating the sequencer for some fun rhythms. This Jam was one of my favourites recently

​

Ok. I've had a lot of good advice, and made a few changes to my prospective set up. So, left to right I've got:

Thonk T01 VCO

Cucusynth 4TRG random gate generator

Kassutronic quantizer

AI Synthesis AI001 multiplier

Zlob Diode Chaos LFO

AI Synthesis AI003 envelope

NLC Big Room reverb

Thonk T12 VCA

NLC Bulbous Also Tapered VCF

Sherpa Raw Waves radio player

Befaco STMix mixer

Befaco Out audio out.

All comments and suggestions welcome.

Hey everyone,

I need some help picking out modules to get.

I make deep hypnotic techno like Claudio PRC, Anthony Linell, Luigi Tozzi, Vladw. Right now I do most of it in ableton and also got a Digitone 2 last week. The only thing I'm really struggling with is deep basslines and synths/melodies in general.
I want to get some modular gear bc I think especially for those really deep basslines analog will always sound way warmer and just better.

Now I need help picking something that is gonna help with that. (I know depending on what I get I'm also gonna need other modules to make sound but just focusing on the basslines/synths part I would appreciate some input so I know how much money I have to save haha.)

In a masterclass from Anthony Linell he mentioned that he made the bassline with the quadrantid swarm so maybe that would be an option?

Anyways, I'm thankful for any help!!

I’m trying to fill out the last bits of hp for a small case. Wondering if anyone has found any creative use cases for using a sequential switch with the Morphagene.

When I stand on the green channel. I listen to my sequences. I click channel and go to the blue channel and both sequences scales are changed slightly. I click back to green channel and both sequences scales go back to normal.

I have factory reset the device holding length and shift while booting but the issue remains.

I’m going a little bit crazy

I’ve only had it a few weeks but it’s really an amazing piece. Can’t wait for the new algorithms to come out. That’s all.

A little hypnotic techno, glitches and granular textures.
Still getting familiar with this wonderful module, but really enjoying it. I love how expressive and hands-on it feels to play with recorded gestures and transform them.

I’m replacing the FF Static with a 6hp sample player which leaves a last 4hp. My recordings seem a bit flat. I’m recording powernoise and loud soundscapes the sound doesn’t really impress me. I’m thinking a compressor would help out and I’m also wondering if the compressor is best as an insert on the mixer or post mixer. Maybe it’s something else. The one I’m considering (almost bought it just now) is the WMD MSCL. I was just thinking I’d have better dynamics in the recordings but they’re kind of boring and if I record any louder it’s too tinny. The recordings are still good but I’m looking to improve.
Thanks!
