Yes it look like insane. I love it because it start with “basic” concept (rise/fall function) but add a lot of cleaver functions to add huge complexity (offset, amplitude, loop, one shot, gate in, slew mode). And I love the plenty of outputs that I dont see on other quad env.

definitely will be a laboratory of chaos/control for me and my setup

I feel like I often spend way too much time and energy trying to get things in tune. Does anyone have good strategies to share? I’ve got a mix of things in my case including a Plaits, Noise Reap Bermuda, Rings, Maths, 2hp Pluck. So some Karplus stuff which seems easiest to tune by ear. I’ve got a KORG tuner which has helped, but it’s still been tricky to get everything going. How do you tend to handle transposition, etc? Before, while tuning or relying on 1v/o with a sequencer later on?

Also curious in making tuning more streamlined.

In an effort to come up with some interesting pitch ideas and studying Lightbath’s rack(s), I saw he was using a Shifty in tandem with a Beast’s Chalkboard for some V/Oct allocation. Seems like a cool idea, anyone else doing anything like that for sequencing? I’m thinking it would be cool to do that with a Turing Machine or even my trusty KeyStep!

I currently use a Quantimator + Turing Machine + Beast’s Chalkboard. The Quantimator is nice since it has the ASR and quantization in a smaller form. You could also use Shifty + uScale too to get a similar thing going and with more adjustability. With the keystep you wouldn’t have to worry about quantizing, turing machine you would.

I don’t find tuning difficult or time consuming for the most part. I guess it depends on workflow, though.

Generally I tune by ear, and tune voices relative to each other. I wonder sometimes how people with perfect absolute pitch perceive my music :thinking:

If I have a less flexible voice that doesn’t transpose easily – like an exponential FM voice – I’ll adjust everything else to match it. Sometimes the easiest way to do that is to use the O’Tool+'s tuner to match a reference note through the MIDI-CV interface.

If I’m going to sequence within the modular system instead of via MIDI, I’ll usually tune the VCO so 0V is the lowest note I’m going to use, or maybe one octave below the lowest root I think I’m going to use. On those occasions when I transpose CVs I tend to do it with a summing mixer (a “non-precision adder” :grinning:)

not sure if they’re even comparable, but how do people feel about the Planar joystick vs. the Tetrapad touch pad, for freestyle / direct, hands-on CV control… any thoughts/preferences?

#904

I’m interested in hearing what people are doing with the Turing Machine. This video of @TomWhitwell demoing the Voltages expander is making me think I can use it for some chaotic patching…

Has anyone here installed DFAM into their eurorack? Interested to hear any options of whether it was worth the 60HP blow out? And also what modules people chose to develop its capabilities further?

#906

How’s the lxd/maths comboe with the mannequins alanza? I’m looking at Malekko sync/ansible/just friends/x 2 mangrove/coldmac/three sisters/rainbow 2 (noise) / LXD/ Maths/ wmd audio output.

additionally grid/norns

it’s great! I sometimes find myself wishing I had more VCAs or more attenuverters or more envelopes, but I figure I’d probably wish that even if I had four rows of modules and not one

Where did you find them? I can’t find anyone stocking them…

Thanks!

Thonk has them prebuilt or as DIY kits.

(But yeah, out of stock at the moment.)

These are great, arent they. You can also check if Koma is making another set of their version that is way smaller and uses tiny faders instead of pots https://koma-elektronik.com/?product=koma-attenuator-cable
