I’m thinking this would make a rather lovely Music Easel inspired system (using one of the new Intellijel Palette cases):

It seems I’ve got all modules you have here, except TSNM.
Are there any recordings made with this rack on YT?

after months of usage and some slight module placement tweaks, i’m really happy with how this feels in terms of patch flow and creative possibilities … couldn’t think of anything i would add just now …

Unfortunately I didn’t have this setup together for too long before I moved it all into my other case.

This is what my 104 hp looks like right now. It’s entirely focused on making 4/4 almost danceable music. It’s kind of interesting to use a modular that is set up entirely for one purpose

I did my first live performance with it last night - unfortunately the recording ended up clipping a bit, but I’ve uploaded it here anyway.

I’m consdering changing the bit crusher for a smaller distortion unit - so I can fit in a w/ or something for weird samples.

still work in progress. Mainly using it for live jamming and self playing patches.

Waiting on Sloth PCBs/panels, and on the hunt for an a-138m & 1u USB (for powering SoftPop), otherwise this is the current state of mine. Trying things without a dedicated filter for now.

What is the Oplab box?

at first I thought: wow, no rnd/noise/s&h module?! must be all feedback, then? but then I saw those very stealth tiles; nice. interested in the bizmuth … do you return to similar input sources for ‘gestural’ switching? do some work better than others (audio/cv/trigs)?

It’s a midi cv converter amongst other things. Yeah use it to get things like the op1 to talk to eurorack iPad organelle etc.

I mostly use it for sending different modulation sources to things. I haven’t used it in powered mode (B Sockets fire off gates) yet.

This is my new noise rig, 90hp. Geiger counter might go but I’ve been really having fun with it for drones, harsh noise, space sounds, even the occasional melodic content. just about every module can make noise on it’s own, or perform 2 or more functions at the same time. It’s real fun to sit on the porch with on my days off!

Current Pittsburgh 104 Move configuration. Pairs well with a TR-09 for techno jams: clock out of TR-09 into Stillson Hammer & audio out of TR-09 into a stereo in on the Cockpit. Ready to jam with @markeats tomorrow night. :smiley: Running the Looping Delay mode on Clouds, which I haven’t spent enough time with. I could just use the BIA + Peaks as a drum machine if I didn’t have the TR-09 around. Versatility! :slight_smile:

That looks rad. I don’t see the Erica Bassline in too many rigs which is strange because it rules!

I just picked it up recently, and I’m loving it so far. I realized I kept trying to get squelchy acidy basslines out of other gear, so I might as well pick something up that does it in one neat little package. :slight_smile: Fully featured voices in a single module have suddenly grown on me, especially in compact setups like this.

How do you like Mimetic? I got one recently, and I almost exclusively just mash Shred to create looping CV for a few things. I don’t precompose stuff though. How are you using it?

I also just got it. I’ve only spent an hour or so with it (and the Erica Bassline) in this case. My plan is to use it for modulation. Might be slightly overkill to have that and the Stillson Hammer in this little case, but I love the SH and wanted to spend a little time with the Mimetic. So, time will tell?

Looks great but you didn’t leave enough room for the Synchrodyne Expander! It’s only another 22 hp. :smile:

Where’d you get the blue-index knobs? edit: (nvm I found them)

I know… if only I had one to put in there. I really want to get one down the road and build a little box around them, I’ve had so many happy accidents with the synchrodyne, and I’m still coming up with new patch ideas for it.

actually the knobs came with it when I bought it used, but I ended up liking how it looks so I left them haha

How do you use your Bismuth module?
