I have the Springray2. All I have to say is that I have found my Eurorack case to be too noisy to put tanks inside (except for the tiny tank, which is comparatively immune to noise). Also, although I love the idea of spring reverbs, I’m finding myself a lot happier with digital reverbs—even digital spring reverb simulations—than with the real thing.

I also found I prefer emulated spring reverbs to the real thing. I managed to initiate my specific setup with a Field Kit FX and one of the two tanks I had almost perfectly with u-he Twangstrom, to the point where I could flip randomly between the software and hardware and not be able to identify which was which. Chase Bliss Dark World is also nice for spring reverb, especially inside a feedback loop.

I was excited by the concept of the Sinfonion, but after watching the unit in use in an extended demo video, it seems quite burdensome to use as a live tool. It seems like a very powerful studio tool, but seems very complicated to use dynamically.

For my purposes I’m more okay with “changing it and going back”, but I’m definitely hoping for interesting ways to to perform said generation/mutation with helpful feedback on what one might expect from those processes. I like Tuesday’s non-random approach, so I hope more modules take notes from it.

@mdoudoroff and @Starthief hmmm great stuff to think about. I do have a rack mount spring reverb that I use on all my recorded material and thought it would be nice to have on in a ero would be fun. I am use to the one I have adding noise which doesn’t bother me but there is definitely a threashold or adding to much unwanted noise. I definitely want something for in the case tho.

Most of my core system are modules I’ve bought for a second time. I’ve tried a lot of modules over the last 8 years. I’m down to around 300hp from maybe 1500 at one point… and I know I like the modules I have now :wink:

I had the pair and I sold them both. I decided I prefer DPO to Complex Oscillator. I just bought a new Harmonic Oscillator to pair with DPO. After 8 years of trying pretty much everything, I’ve decided (for now…) on this set up.

Thanks for sharing! Catarina Barbieri is using this combination too, and it sounds great imo. I think a part of me wants to be convinced to add the Verbos CO just because visually it’s the perfect match for the HO – and because I like the HO so much and I’m hoping to find the same unique sonic quality in the CO. On the other hand there are several reasons for the DPO over the CO: smaller, cheaper (2nd hand), more flexible (I guess?) and the mentioned issues with quality control and service quality at Verbos.

I think it all comes down to the question “consistent instrument” vs. “Frankenstein approach”: I definitely see the advantages of having a consistent instrument with Buchla, but with Eurorack a complete Verbos or MN system just wouldn’t work for me – so it will always be non consitent anyway.

#1593

I’m OCD. I really wanted a one manufacturer case. I ended up going for a MN system. But I don’t like Wogglebug or Tempi, and Harmonic Osc is awesome, so I have a mutt :wink:

BTW - Both DPO and HO pair wonderfully with RxMx.

Really enjoying R*S ResEQ, ideal for organic droney sounds… and that feedback is pure magic. naturally now I am thinking of getting wave multipliers. didnt find any opinions on it here… would be curious to hear some… mostly interested in generating slowly evolving drones and electroacoustic possibilities…

i have a small internal spring in my lunchbox (made by pulplogic) and a larger, medium sized spring that i use with the music thing spring module. i find the sound of the larger one more satisfying and i like having the tank outside my rack so i can pluck it for some surfy splashes. the internal spring in my pulplogic case is much noisier.

I had a Shakmat bishops cv recorder for a while, fantastic module but I mostly used it in the dual shift registerish mode and decided that wasn’t for me. I wish I’d thought of filling the memory with selected sequencer values a la Marbles, I’d likely have kept it around for longer.

DPO + Harmonic Oscillator (into Morphagene).

Wow, beautiful! They complement each other very well.

anyone here using this sequencer?


seems similar to the eloquencer except in this one tracks can be longer than 16 steps and can have different tempo grids/divisors (allowing triplets etc).

#1600

I’m also interested in this. It’s DIY and can also be controlled by a novation launchpad plugged into the USB port on the front. I wonder if it would be possible to add monome grid control?

#1601

Just to clarify, Eloquencer is capable of more than 16 steps (I’ve chained 256; more are possible) and per-track clock divisions.

This does look interesting, though!

#1602

yes but in the eloquencer you have to chain patterns to have more than 16 steps. whereas this one (if I understand correctly) allows >16 steps in a single pattern.

to obtain triplets in the eloquencer I had to /3 the tempo then apply the ratcheting function to each step (forgot the exact details of how+what I did) - not really a quick/straightforward procedure.

[edit: sorry for having created a thread in the wrong section]

#1603

Per/Former looks interesting… but lately every time I start considering a HW Euro sequencer I end up on the Five12 offering, realize BUT WAIT I already have Five12’s NUMEROLOGY on my laptop and two great options (ES modules and a Shuttle Control) for getting that into my Eurorack system! - and the HW cost + feature limitations kill my interest. Still, it would be nice to have the immediacy of a sequencer in the rack.
FD: I rarely use sequencers to begin with so it’s not as critical to me as it might be to others.

Since adding Hermod to my setup, it seems like the PSU of my rack is overloading and shutting off after a while.

I had problems with my HEK and 3 Sisters in the past, so I started by removing it and it lasted longer before it would just cut off.

I next pulled out Mangrove, and after ~20 minutes of jamming everything is still running smoothly. I did some experimenting with powering my Keystep independently, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

I never had such a problem running René, but I’m not surprised to be running into power issues, but so far it seems like pulling the Mannequins stuff has cured me for now.

Anyone else have PSU problems with Mannequins stuff? It’s not like they have insane current draw, but it’s kind of odd. I don’t want to sell them, but I might not have any choice beyond replacing my case.

#1605

What’s the total current draw of your modules combined, and the total available current of your PSU? I would imagine that Hermod requires significantly more power than any of the other modules you mentioned so maybe your hitting the limits of your PSU with that added to your setup.

EDIT: It does, I just looked on modular grid which says Hermod requires 310ma of current, where Rene only required 80ma.
