Yes, I currently have a René v1, and I’m thinking about getting another one.

LOVE the track! Would you mind sharing some insight on how you patched them together?

Well if you go for another V1, they’re pretty easy to find cheap on the used market now but I wouldn’t be too scared of the new Renè!

The menus really aren’t that bad unless you want to get into crazy sequencing of the Z-axis. I spent a lot of time with the V1 before switching and much prefer the V2 (especially for changing chords within a patch) but there are things I miss about V1. The sample and hold settings on V2 are insane :love_letter:

Honestly, I didn’t keep patch notes, but I’m pretty sure it’s very simple, they are both just sharing divisions of a master clock, both playing Modcan FMVDOs and Echoes from Pitch Factor.

Well thanks for the lovely patch and little details!

Appreciate it

I was kind of on the fence of going from the Rene V1 to the V2, too, but I’m really glad I did. It’s amazing, and not difficult to use. The Z-axis thing is not at all bad, too, and is really powerful because it allows you to sequence pretty much anything: scales, gate patterns, whatever.

Hi guys,
someone can help me to fill my rack? I have 6hp free space

feel free to suggest to me some creative ideas like selling some modules to fit the 6hp gap with 8-10hp

thanks to all

Do an inspiring painting and screw it in to fill the gap :slight_smile:

Alternatively - what does this system not do that you would like it to do?

sincerly I do not know what to add, I was thinking about some utilities like the wmd toolbox because I hate this hole

How about a Antimatter Crossfold?

Sequential switch (A-151-2 is 4 hp) and a 2hp Burst?

How about reshuffling your rack to allow each of your 2hp modules to have a 1hp blank either side of them?

Help a (diy) novice out… I was donated this power strip, what kind of psu & switch I can use with it? Where to purchase in Europe ?

MI Shades are as handy to me as Maths. Especially next to an Ornament & Crime

Is there more to it? I can’t tell if we are missing anything relevant in the picture, as different bus boards use different power input methods.

Though, since it appears to be a passive bus board, I wouldn’t necessarily make any decisions based on it - they’re often cheap! You’re better off deciding on what modules and case you want to start with and decide on power from there.

this is the one i got https://github.com/vaeinoe/moraydular/tree/master/powerbus

i’m wondering if i can use uzeus / row power with it?

There are some things you lose when “upgrading” to Rene 2:

  • logic functions
  • two individual triggers from one Snake pattern

I like Rene 2 a lot and find it surprisingly intuitive after being on the fence about the XYZC channels, but I’m really missing the above two functions. Especially in conjunction with the Mysteron it was great to send one clock into XCLOCK and get 2 gates and 2 CV values. So my conclusion is that I won’t sell Rene 1 and rather keep both versions :slight_smile:

It appears the bus board you have is designed for power input via spade connectors rather than via ribbon cable, so I wouldn’t use it with a Row Power or uZeus, since they output via ribbon cable (or flying bus boards, which are just a ribbon cable with special connectors).

If you want to use a small module for power like the two you mentioned, using a flying bus or something like the 4ms Bus Stick is a better choice.

This probably won’t help but I can’t really imagine using my DPO again without RxMx (and File).
