I have a Modcan Quad LFO which has a sync mode. Gate input 1 should be normalled to the remaining 3 but it isn’t. So I connect them as 99% of the time I want the same clock to sync them… that’s all.

I do a weekly backyard modular session with Pittsburgh Modular’s Richard Nicol and always show up with my case pre-patched. Largely because of the fairly weird way I generate rhythmic patterns.
Also since it’s a live stream, it could get dull if I didn’t have something interesting up and running.
It’s every Sunday night at 8:00 US EST

cute little allen and heath, never seen that one before.

Great thread, glad to see so many cool ideas here.

My “base patch” these days has Harmonic Oscillator > Monsoon > STmix, and Mangrove>Sisters>STmix. STmix>Octatrack. Octa is synced with Pam’s / Yarns, and modulation comes from Marbles, Just Friends and Maths.

I didn’t quite realize until I wrote this out, but my patch is actually pretty static - it’s been nice to have a sort of “instrument” vibe as opposed to a “playground” vibe. I still unpatch and repatch a bit different whenever I move my case though.

Ya, love the sound, feature set and form factor.
It is however pretty noisy and a little flakey.
A new version with PFL, mutes and a headphone
jack would be incredible.

I wonder if part of the decision to prepatch or not is dependent on the size of one’s system? If you have a large system it might make more sense to leave metamodules patched because you can afford to – there will still be plenty of modules left over for free patching. My system is small so I don’t feel like I can use up modules that way.

clocks to sequencer everything else goes after recording.

I have a Shuttle control that I leave mostly wired up with MIDI IN, MIDI OUT, USB IN, etc… and I tend to keep the master clock arrangement (START, STOP, RESET, MASTER CLOCK) etc all patched up to synch with various things. Sometimes I go mad and rip it all out, but it largely stays the same.

Quantum Rainbow Gray noise > Mangrove air > Three Sisters low > Optomix + Maths env is my go-to lead voice, and this stays patched.
