Perhaps you removed jumpers from Praga to test Hrad, then unplugged Hrad but did not reinstall the jumpers?

ACL makes a similar stereo summer. On theirs, each row has three gain settings determined by dip switches (on the back)

good line of thinking, but the no output issue was happening before hrad connection, and again after disconnection. the praga itself has no jumpers, and the jumpers on the hrad are set as defined by the manual.

edit: i might be wrong. after digging in mw posts, this seems like a case of missing (undocumented) jumpers.

I have both of these exact modules. Use them a lot. CVPal is great and a good DIY project!

[edit: sorry I just saw your edit :laughing:] Did you get this Praga second-hand? I think there are jumpers.

Does anyone have an Alyseum Q-MIX? And an Intellijel case? I was wondering if it’d be possible to hook up the outputs of the Q-MIX directly to the 1/4" jacks on the case, forgoing an intermediary module like Stereo Line Out 1U. I know that the case uses 6-pin connectors like so:

:thinking:
so it’d be a matter of getting the Q-MIX outputs in 6-pin format, yes?

Figured I’d post this here, coming from a discussion in the “Show us your modular system” thread: Endorphin.es Milky Way modes chart.

: This actually inspired me to finish another one of these that I’d left lying about half finished, so thanks @disquiet for that kick in the pants!

Ok friends, having sold my Performance case, I need to replace some functionality that I had in 1U format.

  1. Zeroscope- probs just replace with the 3U version, right?

  2. Quadratt- is Tripplatt the best call? Or is there a better mixer/attenuverter/offset I should think about? Want to keep the footprint small. Have a Maths, just usually need a couple more instances.

How basic of a quadratt replacement are you after? While I find ALM’s O/A/x2 to be one of the more useful since it’s a straightforward knob/function module with visual feedback, I recently picked up ADDAC216 which has a far less vanilla mixing section than most.

Will check that out, thanks!

I had both the 1U Zeroscope and the (3U) Dave Jones O’Tool+ and kept the latter. Much more versatile, imho.

Frap Tools’ 321 is another option to replace Quadratt. Some clever normalization paths for lots of utility but trim pots make it a touch fiddley.

I’ve never tried the Intellijel ones, but I do like Mutable Instruemnts Shades.

This looks like the thing one might draw up in a bullet journal :stuck_out_tongue:

WMD SPO is great. Small, simple, tactile. I pair it with a quad atten.

Amusingly, having never heard of 321, I saw it when looking for a 6HP utility yesterday and ordered it. I was trying to make 4HP extra space by replacing another module. The other module is dreadbox Utopia. It’s slightly bigger (10HP), but a similar ‘mixed bag’ utility. It has 4 attenuverters (one normalled from a fixed voltage and one normalled from an LFO), normalled into a 4 to 3 unity mixer, which is normalled into a “pulserizer” which is effectively a comparator against a fixed voltage source you set with a pot. If you are okay with the small knurled plastic shaft pots and size, it’s a nice option.

That comparator sounds interesting, I wish there were more options in euro. Thanks!

Yeah, these are done on the tear-outs of my Leuchtterm 1917 :slight_smile:

looking for critique on this small mobile modular, its goal is to create “fake edm, acid, and techno”/noise music with elements of aforementioned genres, i already have all the colours of the noise, himalia, and dplpg and they make for a wonderful combination that i love a lot. i am downsizing from a larger mantis case.

Just a philosophical question today. How does everyone here feel about using complex modulation sources (like Zadar) direct to the parameter being modulated, in comparison to simpler modulation sources (like maths) being mangled into a complex modulation sources via mixing, logic, feedback

My impression is the former may be more “limited” in terms of nonlinearities and less “interconnected”, while potentially less expensive, covering less real estate, and (potentially) less playable

While the latter, mangling simpler CV sources, may consume more space and $, but offers more in terms of the patching experience, happy accidents, and knob per function playability.

Are you in one camp or the other? Or do you utilize both approaches?
