Another great option, i’ll have to do some pondering. Thanks everyone.

Yea! As you see above, the little tail I left out of the Pod60, which I usually use to power the 1U Headphones. The wooden case has an empty back for the power cable. Then I could save some HP and easily use headphones anywhere, say, on a plane.

Has anyone used the ADDAC213B Eurorack Bridge?

It’s one of those modules for connecting up 2 different cases, or 2 parts of the same case.

It’s a bit like the Doepfer A-180-9, but is uses ribbon cables rather than Ethernet cables, plus they are internal connections rather than external. (Though they do also make a version with an external ribbon connector.)

[mode.analogue]

I did actually buy exactly those for the same reason you described. I have, however, not utilised them yet to get signals from one case to another (I’m still lacking a power supply for one of the cases so far) so I can’t comment on any potential issues involved. It should work in theory though…

But you might want to bear in mind that to be able to connect two different cases with these modules would require a little bit of custom work for finding a solution for connecting both ends from one case to another. I’m planning on incorporating a shrouded header into the side of each respective case wired to the respective module. This way I can just plug the ribbon cable into the outer side of each case and don’t have to worry about more precarious (albeit possible) solutions for connecting both modules.

These specific modules seem to be mainly for extending the inputs/outputs of ADDAC213A within the same case of for individual use in one single case. Although, that doesn’t mean one couldn’t come up with other uses as well;)

Yeah I’m planning on putting holes in the back of my cases. They’re actually a set of Doepfer wooden cases that I have been bolted together (and painted white), so it’s a semi-permanent installation anyway.

Given that I’ll need to make up my own cables, I may make the holes only big enough for the ribbon cable to get through and put the connectors on in situ.

These specific modules seem to be mainly for extending the inputs/outputs of ADDAC213A within the same case of for individual use in one single case.

You’re right, although they do indicate that you can use them standalone if you wish to.

Hello, my morphagene sd card broke and I need to order a new one. Does anyone know which I should order? I know it says 8gb FAT32 but am still unclear on which will work. I’d love a link from someone who knows more about this than I do please thanks to anyone who can help

[eblomquist]

Fat32 is a requirement.

8 gb is the maximum size that Morphagene can read, so while that is a small card by current standards, anything larger is a complete waste.

I found some from Kingston (a reputable brand) on sale at Walmart or something for really cheap.

[brndnwilliams]

I feel like I’m missing something. The descriptions don’t say FAT32 from what I can see. This one visually look like the one that ships in Morphagene https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sandisk-Sdsdq-008g-a46-Microsd-Memory-Card-8gb/10756309

And maybe this is the one you said you got: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kingston-Digital-8GB-microSDHC-Class-4-Flash-Memory-Card-SDC4-8GBSP/166300894

Will both or either of these work? How can you tell. Thank you

[csboling]

Pretty mind-blowing that they don’t put this kind of essential technical info on product listings. I believe the filesystem SD cards ship with is basically determined by their capacity - 4 GB to 32GB cards (SDHC) will be preformatted FAT32, larger cards (SDXC) will be exFAT. Here is a table with some of this info.

I don’t know the Morphagene’s requirements specifically but I would guess you’re good with any 8GB FAT32 card like these - it’d be nice if the manual would give the exact model number. You might be able to get that information by inspecting it on a PC but that option is of course no good of the card is physically damaged or unreadable.

[voidstar]

FYI - You probably aren’t seeing “FAT32” because you choose the filesystem when you format the card on your computer, though cards in the 2GB to 32GB size range will usually ship already formatted as FAT32.

[eblomquist]

This one is fat

[Quru]

I’ve been running Morphagene through R*S Resonant Equalizer, it can make it sound super fat.

Seriously, I think I want second card for my Morphagene so I could quickly switch to using it as crazy oscillator tracking 1v/oct, hadn’t even thought about compatibility. Good info.

Is there an external device I can use to bring line/instrument level up to euro leveles? I’m getting some interesting effects in the rack and I’d like to use them with external sounds, but don’t really want to dedicate rack space to them.

[Whatwetalkabout]

I have had success just using a clean boost. I actually use the SSBS Mini, which can also clean boost.

[Gexex]

To answer my own question:

Cš-l replaced Loquelic. I’m enjoying the idea of having two COs in here (counting Rubicon/Dixie/Ultrafold), but tuning will certainly be challenging.

[forrest]

mutable ears or veils works for this.

[ThurberMingus]

That’s one of my favorite pedals! Unfortunately it lives on the guitar pedalboard. I’m sure I have something around that would work!

Hi this is my first post.
I need an help.
I start an eurorack 104hp system and put some used modules. This is the little list :
Plaits
Orgone Accumulator
Marbles
321 frap tools
Function
Peaks
Optomix

I need your advice about drones production and the perfect reference for understanding my taste are :

So I have 24hp of space
some ideas :
cold mac (I can pickup for €150 from a friend)
doepfer 135-2
333 frap tools

Can you give some advice ?
Many Thanks

[Risc]

Why isn’t there (or is there?) a eurorack module like the Boss Harmonist pedal? Seems like this would be a great way to simply get another tone that you don’t have to painstakingly tune.

[flowers_hair_dirt]

I just got a plonk, cold mac, and zadar and i want to make them become friends with a pair of nano rings on the go. Can’t really decide how i want to quantize. Is o_C a better option for quantizing? I don’t mind menu diving but also i think a dedicated module is just cool. What i really want is to cut this in half i feel like it’s crowded.
