Really loving the 0-ctrl 0-coast combo. I’ve racked them with a 2hp mult, Pluck, and ADDAC Drum module in a 100hp box. Running the audio out into Norns is perfect for adding delay/reverb. Very satisfying small rig.

Powering the 100hp case was a fun project. There is an MMI USB power in the box and the 0-ctrl and 0-coast are hacked and daisy chained on one of their stock power adapters. Fun stuff!

Awesome set up! I’m very interested in different ideas about how to expand the 0-ctro/0-coast universe. The Pluck/Addac drum idea is really cool.

The 0-coast is such a great voice! Adding just a couple more sounds with it is is really all you need for greatness.

I recently made the leap back into the synth world with the 0-Coast and quickly picked up it’s companion. I also got this sweet little stand that really makes it feel like a complete instrument.

After a week or so of totally wild Krell patching and exploration, I finally hooked it up to Ableton and started sequencing it, which gets bananas since you have three clocks bouncing around. I’ve found that if I’m sequencing it externally, the 0-Ctrl becomes a weird little stepped, triple LFO.

There’s also other wild tricks, like running the O-Ctrl at audio rates, and clocking the clock with the slope EOC, using the FM and cycled slope for a strange kick beat, this thing is a blast and will cost me thousands of dollars as I start to want to fill out a case with a quantizer, more LFOs, things to trigger and be triggered, more attenuverters, oh god what have I done?

Here’s a couple quick samples - the first is my first foray into external sequencing (plus some 909 samples and a bit of granular delay on one track), the second is a weird layer-looped krell patch with some guitar pedals.

why do I forget that delay makes everything so much better. I’ve been playing my setup au naturel and then saw this today. Flashback deux is doing a great job as well.

This stand looks great. I rolled my own super simple 0C2 stand, but I have been wanting this exact angle.

#18

With such a small set up it’s important to have a looper/delay where you can record things and move on to the next idea. My videos usually have 2 ideas together that I can connect using the looper. And the “Analog with mod” setting on the Flashback sounds wonderful!

I’ve been using a 0-Ctrl and a Pico System 3 for my mini affordable music easel type set up. It has a bit more feature parody with the music easel but you do need to patch up the oscillators in a specific way to get something closer to the complex oscillators. Still I would like the try out 0-coast + 0-ctrl at some point, looks like a ton of fun!

Really enjoy the sounds of the 0-coast, and this controller for it looks very nice and promising. Really going on my wishlist alongside the 0-coast (which I don’t have yet).
Great work @ThanosF to show us.

This is such a cool combo! The 0-Coast was my entrance to modular, don’t own one anymore but I do have a 0-Ctrl to control my Serge stuff.
My only complaint with the 0-Coast was the wave folder, it sounds really thin and brittle at some
settings. Otherwise such a cool and feature rich unit.

#22

Has anyone used an 0-Ctrl with a Moog Werkstatt, Grandmother or MS-20 Mini? 0-Coasts are out of stock everywhere over here so I can’t buy both right now. If I get an 0-Ctrl I’ll only be able to use it with synths I already have for the moment.

#23

I haven’t (would very much like to), but I have thought for quite some time how useful a Serge style programmer/seq would be super useful for the MS-20 for more abstract/textural sound design. the 0-ctrl, or particularly the 0-ctrl paired with an sq-1 maybe gets you a very good part of the way to something similar, while also possibly offering more possibilities if you get creative with your patching.

I don’t have an SQ-1 at present (though I could obviously get one easily enough) but I do have a Beatstep and a Beatstep Pro…

They posted a quick video on their insta with a 0-CTRL and an MS-20:

Ah, amazing! That’s all I needed to see! Sold!

#27

love this combo and they really do feel like a complete instrument together. I originally used the SQ-1 with the 0-Coast but since I got the 0-Ctrl, I’ve been mainly the SQ-1 my other modules.

In this patch for example, the 0-Coast is being sequenced via the 0-Ctrl and the SQ-1 is sequencing/modulating the QPAS.

Indeed they make an enormously fun combo! A few clips:

I have the first part!

I’m calling this combination: The Noise Weasel!

These are some of the best patches I’ve seen so far for this combo. Quite complex. Are these yours?

curious to see how this jives for you after some time. I’m way more into semi-modulars these days, and while the werkstatt is pretty stripped down it still really appeals to me, for that reason I guess. I’m curious what possibility open up using it with some more complex controller/sequencing functions like. So much of what I hear when I look into the werkstatt is always people excited about getting that ‘moog sound’ on the cheap or getting an extra voice to supplement a euro system, but at least in my mind it must be capable of much more than typical bass or lead sounds.
