What Quad attenuators do you recommend?

If you’re getting a Batumi, Batumi expert firmware has attenuators built in, so it would take care of the Batumi at least.

Your only attenuators are in Maths and Cold Mac, which is not nothing, but there can always be more :slight_smile:

WMD/SSF’s Quad Attenuator is cheap, passive, and functional: https://wmdevices.com/collections/wmd-ssf-eurorack-modular/products/quad-atten

There’s otherwise any number of active attenuverters. I like Mutable Instrument Shades a lot.

+1 on Shades. The first module i got when i entered Eurorack. Great little thing :slight_smile:

I use a Frap Tools 321. Each attenuator also has an offset and it does some cool mixing stuff too. 6hp

hey man, just saw your case and wanted to know if the make noise case would be fine for my chosen rig?

More modules than headers on the bus board. So that’s going to be an issue. Otherwise it’s just a matter of checking the power consumption against the specs, and the depth of the deepest module.

As long as it doesn’t over draw the supply, you can have someone with the crimping tool put an extra connector onto a ribbon cable (be extra sure it’s the right direction)

Oto machines bim / bam. Currently using my trusty Roland re501. Thanks for the feedback I wander if I should notch it down to one mangrove and a sto and use 10hp left over for something else? My style of music I produce is deep techno

Three Sisters can also be three oscillators, and from what I hear Just Friends can be six oscillators (can someone who uses it confirm?) so you could probably get away with losing one of the Mangroves or the STO. Maybe consider 10hp of utilities? Some attenuation and/or dedicated VCAs to add some subtlety to your patches. I don’t know much about deep techno but maybe a noise source be useful for building some percussion sounds.

I always use subtle white noise underneath my synths parts, that reminds me to think about that. I think you’re right regarding Three sisters being an Oscillator. I use a machinedrum for my percussion and an octatrack can also have percs loaded in, so could use that for white noise too? Thus allowing me to think about adding in what you mentioned, I’ll see if I can find something. Thanks dude.

Hey yeah I’ve slightly changed the rig. Found out about the MI Kinks and then simplified the plan to allow for the 10 power leads on the makenoise skiff

I have a soundcraft epm 12 mixer. Octatrack MkII as the heart and I’ll feed this rig and Norns into it for my lead/bleeps/bass and texture follow with aux out to oto bim bam

I hope i’ll Be fine haha thanks for the help

Maybe you can DM me and tell me about how you use your octa save changing this thread? I’m still learning and have been getting a few subjects mixed up

You Interconnect interconnect cold cut for the x2 mangrove combo instead of a dual mixer?

Here’s my latest sketch for a 104hp control skiff, now capable of multidimensional exploration.

A patch I’d like to try is running multing René’s three CV outs into different oscillators and also into Vector Space’s three CV inputs. This would generate seventeen interrelated CV outs that change with each new step in the three channels of sequencing, and with the Tempi/René combo switching between stored states on the fly, this setup is full of insane possibilities for generative music.

Distinctly lacking in VCAs… :thinking:

control skiff! theoretically the VCAs and the VCOs are in another castle
