hey all — looking for a little soundboarding as I’m thinking through putting this rack together.
here’s the current setup
and the new one
( MG’s embedding thing never worked right for me. 
)
my goal starting out a couple years ago was “learn how to modular” and i’ve leaned on the Neutron for establishing the basics. i’ve kept it in because, dollar for dollar, it’s a pretty heavy hitter.
i have a lot to learn wrt patching methodology and making voltage do what i want. i tend toward slower, evolving, darker ambient, somewhere in a tim hecker / the fun years area. here’s a patch from a little while ago, and one i enjoyed from perfect circuit — particularly the more chaotic wavefolding bits.
so now, the 104 is a little more Buchla inspired, since i’ve just discovered what a low pass gate really does.
i have Surface performing the duties of Plaits and Pluck, and the turing / O_C / Arp / Shifty combo feels flexible enough in getting a few layered voices in there, though it might be overkill. i may be doing myself a disservice in losing another voice in Plaits, though. also considering Plonk taking the place of Surface.
i think i like the concept of the 0chd more than the execution — i’d love a triangle / square switch, and i wish i could retrigger a cycle (though maybe i can with the CV in…) — but i also think it’ll add that organic, evolving modulation across the board, and will be a nice match with the Erbe Verb.
didn’t really plan on utilizing the Intellijel case’s I/O, maybe because i don’t fully understand how it works. 
i need to use their 1U I/O modules to access what’s built in, correct? i’ve been using the Tangle Quartet mostly as a mixer, and that’s been mostly fine, so the 1U Out module can likely go away too.
so, all of that said — what’s sticking out as potential overlaps or shortcomings? appreciate all thoughts!
