I had the full set a few months ago, but panic-sold it because of a combination of being unemployed and the choice paralysis of Eurorack.
On that second part, I didn’t really feel the IFM set was an entirely complete system- key omissions would be S&H, VCA’s for CV (the Denum/Dunst ones are audio only iirc), and I personally didn’t like not having an envelope that would sustain (Swoop is just A/D). There were a couple of other things I’d want but could’ve lived without (logic, maybe a wavefolder, a filter that wasn’t batshit, etc).
However, since I’m back to work, I’ve been interested in picking another IFM set to pair with the Make Noise Tape and Microsound Machine, which should mostly round off what I felt what was lacking last time. What I liked about the IFM was that I never vibed with the hard-panned audio and more complex internal set-up of much of the mainline C-L stuff, but loved the timbre etc otherwise. Ultimately, I guess it’s kinda Buchla (C-L) vs Serge (IFM) and I generally prefer the latter.
As for combining the two, here’s an IFM/CQ patch that turned out ok. I don’t think there’s too much cross patching from what I can tell.
