Mostly for switching between modulation sources. Quite fun for switching between and external signal and the built-in VCO of the A-196, for instance.

After several iterations in downsizing from 2x104 I ended up with the following. Not sure abot the need of both Pamelas and uOC here, one of them might get replaced with a small utility mixer and a dedicated offset / attenuverter down the road.

I guess it depends what you’re running on your O_C?

Indeed, time will tell :slight_smile:
Hemispheres is installed so I got tons of options. Might route a USB cabel and put a jack in the case so I can use the MIDI options.

wow. I hadn’t actually seen Hemisphere before. That is a truly overwhelming number of apps, isn’t it?

You can compile your own firmware and leave out the ones you don’t like, I have 3 o&c now, 2 hemi, 1 standard, amazing utility/fun

My Thoughts exactly!
Not sure what case you had but have you had a read of these?

Thanks. I have a 3u 104 though so I’d have to cut a hole in the case and fit a USB port there myself.

A riff on @alanza’s design.

The 1U row takes care of utilities (:two_hearts: Noise Tools), leaving ample space on the main row. And lest we forget the 1U Line In, which works wonders to transform this system into a labyrinthian stereo delay processor and looper.

Bizmuth and Batumi, while on opposite ends, work together to trigger Teletype and generally orchestrate the chaos in between.

Two W/s sandwich the rest of the Mannequins line, lending themselves to stereo delay (which can be tempo-synced via Teletype) or, if desired, longer forms of déjà vu.

Cold Mac sits somewhat in the middle, fulfilling its duty as Panoptic tower guard — or on its off days, as a panning VCA (the outputs of which can be fed into the W/s) and signal processor.

All in all this my favorite design I’ve put together so far. So much potential in a relatively diminutive size
 none of which would have been possible were it not for this thread! Thank you!!

P.S. Oh and sometimes I switch out the Teletype for a Marbles :slight_smile:

Been dreaming of this setup for a while, missing piece finally arrived this week. I wanted it to be able to function standalone but it can also be the heart of a larger system.

How do you imagine the Sinfonion and the rest of the system relating? The Teletype only has a single CV in, and that would take up a lot of inputs on the ER-301. :thinking:

Good question, you’re right that if I wanted to use all the Sinfonion’s outs at once (not sure yet if I’ll actually want to do this very often) I’d end up using up most of the inputs on the ER-301. But when using this as a standalone I anticipate most of the parameter setting on the ER-301 will be over i2c from Teletype/16n, so I should have plenty of available inputs. FWIW the Sinfonion has i2c headers as well so with any luck in the future we’ll get a firmware update that lets me do even more of the cross communication over i2c via Teletype and save even more cables/inputs on the front side.

How do you do your mixing? Outboard mixer?

I’ve been thinkin about switching from my pretty ‘grooveboxey’ 104hp 6U setup to more ‘experimental noise boxey’ 104hp 4U setup. I also have DFAM and plan on replacing my Digitakt with Octatrack. I’m interested in playing kind of dj-like with longer stems with the Octatrack, and getting more soundscapey and experimental with the modular setup. Currently it’s pretty much two voices plus some percussions and lots of control options for flexible jams, but after getting Morphagene I haven’t really felt like making beats really honors the medium and while it is great fun, it gets kind of repetitive. And I could get those beats from Octatrack, both building them on it and using longer stems produced my still pretty DAW-based songwriting process. More focused, ‘instrument like’ setups of this thread have made me very intriqued.

This is my current plan (Modulargrid)

From the 3U modules I’m missing Just Friends, Mimeophon, w/ and Mixup. Need to sell and buy bunch of stuff. I think this will be quite a refreshing activity as I’m on the finishing stages of my upcoming debut album and it’s been kind of consuming. Reset button after finishing quite a big project, if you will.

Yeh, I’m using a K-Mix
 here’s an expanded shot :slight_smile:

be interested to hear what you are working out of this MI skiff (as someone who rolls with a largely MI 104hp once in a while), and I guess more specifically what kind of patch this is (how you would describe it in your own words), and more more specifically how you are using Tides2.

Here’s some raw recordings from this weekend using this setup :slight_smile:

In terms of patching
 I tend to just improvise until it starts sounding good, hit record, then pull everything out and start again :sweat_smile:

Finally got my case! So excited about this setup, fortunately I have free day tomorrow so plenty of time to patch and play and set it up with Octatrack and Field Kit FX. As I mentioned earlier new modules for me in this build are Just Friends, w/, Mixup and the 1u utilities. I quickly tried out the JF and it feels so powerful and fun to use.

As a sidenote, if Schneidersladen is to be believed the Intellijel 104hp 4U case is out of production, so if it’s something you want it might be a good idea to snatch one now when some stores still have them in stock. Great feeling case, whole another level compared to my now gone Mantis.
