104 hp inspiration

[forrest]

ok so what is the black panel with the cool glyphs?

[eblomquist]

Love the look of this, although I am also wondering what the black module with the white knobs is…

I am also curious about the dplpg’s. Am I correct that you need to feed them some cv to get them to open?

If so, what are you using for that cv? Slopes from JF? Triggers/Gates from Ansible?

Thanks!

It’s a speech synthesis module called the erd worm. It’s cool one! You can search it on modular grid with “unknown” checked.

Sometimes I’ll run audio from any of the modules into them to open the gates, or typical envelopes stuff from just friends!

Hi!
I know it’s been a while since your suggestion, but I reply to you because it is something that I have done for while in order to know what type of module should be on my list next. I have broken down some pre built systems (MN Cartesian, Shared, Endorphin.es Shuttle, Buchla and Doepfer recommended systems, etc) and some semi-modular ones (MN 0-Coast, Pittburgh Voltage Lab, Microvolt, etc) and listed the modules they are made of by type and then ordered the list by number of times the modules were included in the systems. This is the list I’ve gotten:

Some things to know: I tried to separate when some types were included several times (VCO1, VCO2, etc), LPG were counted as VCF, Envelopes and LFOs are both included in Func Gen for the list to be a little less limiting

I don’t know if I’m being too much number oriented, but I think it’s a good way to know what kind of modules you should look into next. For example, for a starter system, you should probably buy a VCO, a VCF and a Function Generator, and maybe add a mixer and/or a VCA. Then you may probable expand with a second VCO, Function Generator or a Noise generator.

Anyway, it’s just something I geek out on quite a lot when I can’t actually play on my system, I know it doesn’t replace trying out and gut feeling, but I believe it can help, so I just thought I shared

This is really interesting. You could create the archetypal 104hp skiff from this.

I’m going to swap out Warps for Mutant Brain so I can sequence from the digitone too… should open up a lot more possibilities.

Is the Mutant Brain the best (or sufficient?) solution in that particular case (Elektron gear -> modular)? I don’t have Digitone, but I have Digitakt. I started building my modular and I definitely will need something to connect them…

[Noisetrees]

I’m using an Expert Sleepers FH-2 for that. USB from Digitakt or Digitone gives me four pairs of pitch/gate by default, or anything else the Elektron box sends if I want to map it. On top of that I can plug in my laptop or iPad Pro, as well as any class compliant/driverless mice, gamepads, usb midi keyboards, controllers etc. And it’s easily expandable to get more outputs.

[disquiet]

Hi. Can the FH-2 communicate with an iPad? Maybe I knew this and forgot it.

[Noisetrees]

Oh yes and it’s 20 chars of brilliant.

[disquiet]

Thanks. I may be thinking twice about the space currently allocated to other devices.

[fbusche]

What’s the result of hooking up to a class compliant mouse as mentioned above? XY pad type thing? This is something I never considered but you have piqued my interest.

[Noisetrees]

Well obviously a mouse isn’t the most intuitive of interfaces but as it’s so different frim many other controllers, it’s capable of interesting results. XY control, buttons, scrollwheel. Game pads are also excellent.

I love the idea of the new ADDAC105 module, so I designed a small system around it. I wanted to share it somewhere:

4 “voices” (16 FM’able tuned notes with envelopes), 4 drums, sequencing, mixing, modulation in 84hp: The ADDAC105 voices are tuned via the module’s knobs, have a built in envelope and have a shared filter, you’ve got Lightstrips for automatable modulation or more-ergonomic filter control. Each Launch Codes output maps to one of the 105 tuned note inputs, with the extra trigger channel going to one of the T-Network drums. Using @TomWhitwell’s very clever Startup for clocking, mixing, and outputs.

[simonvanderveldt]

There’s no 1v/octave on the ADDAC 105, right?
Would be so nice if that were the case…

[grey]

Nope. There is an external input that can be mapped to tuning for all of the voices, but it does not map 1V/o. So you could could send fixed voltages to it with a tuner hooked up to create offsets to your liking.

Could be a nice crow project: You could build a custom quantizer by remapping voltages. You could also us a CV in to step through a map of offsets. Or trigger to step through offset sequences. Lots of possiblities once you work out what you wanted to do.

After a year of trying different stuff I’ve landed on this almost comically standard set from make noise

[StephLow]

How’s the build quality on the XOH? I was tempted by the Rosie for a long time, but reading some negative reviews about the build quality always made me want to hold off for just a “nice-to-have” module.

[four_drams]

My gripe with it is the same one I have with all of these modules. That is, the pots don’t feel super solid. I assume that’s due to plastic shafts on these and metal ones used by other manufacturers? I’ve never confirmed that though.

The layout feels a little cramped. Maybe they could have helped that by staggering the knobs more but it doesn’t really bother me considering I’m not moving them too much in practice.

And balanced 1/4” outputs would be nice.

All trade offs I was willing to make for a stereo mixer in such a small package. It’s pretty much perfect for this setup and allowed me to fit in the mult too (if comparing to Rosie).

My 104 isolation rig 🤸🌿 set up for looping/manipulating field recordings, waiting on a nearness panning mixer to fill the 3hp gap. The last 6hp is gonna be filled with an SPO or a quad attenuator + a Crow at some point soon!
