Could you please let us know how you connected your modular to the kaoss pad.

#2180

Of course, all answers are purely subjective to that type of question; but… I would keep it. Especially if you aren’t hurting for the money or space, there’s no reason to let go of it, it’s a very solid synth that covers a lot of bases. In my setup, it’s redundant, but I still reach for it all the time; could be because I want that sound and it’s normalized to make it (meaning I can get there quicker or more reliably), or because I want something that sits well in the mix, and I find that oscillator filter combination to work well for those instances. I don’t know, but I do use it all the time, and am happy that I bought one.

M32 packs a good number of functions in a reasonable amount of hp for a decent price.

I kept mine and still enjoy using it although I would warn against putting in a eurorack case as I cooked mine when I reinstalled it in its original case with the power wires reversed. Cost me about $140 to ship it back for repair… argh!

I use the ladik a-525 with my axoloti (as effect processor), works perfectly!

Hi I just connected the mixer of the modular via a 3.5 jack to a female jack splitting into 2 RCA jacks for the line in of the KP3 then line out from the kp3 via 2 RCA jack splitting into two 6.3 jacks going into 2 inputs on my audio interface

#2185

is that a mono signal out of your modular? as in, is the modular mixer mono or stereo? If you’re coming out of the modular with a single 3.5mm cable, it is very likely a mono signal. It doesn’t matter if you use a ts or trs cable if you’re coming out of a single jack on the mod-mixer as it will only supply a mono signal (unless it is specifically a stereo output such as the headphone jack on a Rosie or the alm headphone output)

#2186

Yes it is a mono signal

#2187

Yes, this seems what is happening. As you are using a TRS to RCA splitter your signal only arrives to one of the RCA connectors. So you are feeding your kaoss pad with only one signal (plugged in to the right channel).

So probably there is nothing wrong with your modular, kaoss pas, interface or DAW.

If you have a headphone out on your modular feed that into you kaoss pad… or 2x mono… or just mono and use only one channel of your kaoss pad.

#2188

So if I understand you properly I would just have to remove one RCA cable from the connection to get the mono signal split on the left and right in my DAW? The Doepfer A-100 system only has mono out…do you think I need to add a module just to get stereo out? I am already satisfied with the sound, I just would like to have it to both left and right

#2189

you just need the correct splitter/mult/y-cable to splits the mono channel into two mono channels, no need for an in-the-rack module really unless you have money and HP space to waste :slight_smile:

Personally I’d just wire 3 jacks together and cover it with hot glue and electrical tape :slight_smile: or if you don’t have a soldering iron, cut two patch cables in half and twist the wires together firmly :smiley:

#2190

Thank you all for your answers.

The main reason to keep it and what Im having trouble negating is this, that it offers a lot in so little. Im kind of bored of the core osc sound (however terrific it sounds) but taken everything else into consideration it’s still difficult to ignore all that it has.

Not hurting so much as being unable to justify picking up things i might enjoy more - interesting 2nd osc, 16n, small skiff etc. Like I could get more specific in what Im doing and enjoy it more as opposed to putting up with it in service to “rational decision making”.

But I think I’ll hold on to the M32 for a bit, see what I can manage (and sample it) before making any decisions.

:joy: that’s rough

Another option in 4hp

#2192

Like @Cementimental said you’d need to split the mono channel into two mono channels.

Another option would be to select one channel only as input in your DAW. No need for new modules.

#2193

So the cost-effective choice right now is just to use one of the two RCA jack only and select that channel yes? I will definitely try that thanks

Does anyone know if the erica synths hq can also be visited as in a shop? Couldnt find a real clear answer. Already emailed them but dont know if it will be answered on time(i’m in riga now)

#2195

Friends have visited them when in Riga so it’s possible but maybe not officially. Hit their doorbell, they’re super nice people!

#2196

I’d recommend considering why you’re “bored” with the sound. If you otherwise like it, I would consider adding more effects to your system and consider whether your other voices (or potential voices if you dont have others) compliment or contrast it. Any voice will get samey once you are very familiar with it, but they gain interest again through composition and manipulation.

Too true. Ive been considering what I might do with them both (as opposed to what i might buy) and it’s definitely got me piqued.

#2198

For sure. Buying something may be the answer, but I’d encourage you to feel pretty sure about it. I think it’s okay to chase novelty if that’s what is fun for you about the format, but it can also expensive to do so. As I usually recommend to people, consider what your goals are. If you can nail that down, you’ll be in a much better position to make decisions.

I’m building a case for some of my controllers and I would like to have a couple USB switches like the one found on the isms. Is that type of switch passive? I would just need a toggle switch with 4 sets of leads right?
