Show us your modular system

[Freeman]

First post ever on lines! Check out my system!

Welcome!

Nice rig with a west coast leaning

[Freeman]

Thank you! Good eye on my west vibe. My inspiration was one part buchla easel and one part dream groove box.

not diy, i got it from a shop in Seoul called octomo (: really great ppl highly recommend but i think their international business has mostly been put on hold w the pandemic

[tehfizzle]

Thanks for the info. I’ve been looking for something that size in the states. P

Latest iteration of the franken-modular.

Turns out that I missed some Euro modules, and decided to get rid of the Easel Command and re-acquire some of those.

I don’t mind patching between the two formats so much. It means that there is a hilarious proliferation of cables, but that’s part of the charm maybe.

The two Serge panels are custom LW ones. I have had them for a little more than a month, and while it’s taken me a bit of time coax Sing to Me*'s 258s to a place that I love, I think we are starting to get along very well. The sequencer panels is called Angel of the Morning. It was why I had originally reached out to Charlie, after falling in love with R*S’s Sequencer / Programmer module (which I still have, although not currently setup here) & seeing some of the other variations on the Serge sequencer that had vertical step control in addition to horizontal. I love it, and I’m still only scratching the surface.

On the Euro-side I’m concentrating on the ER-301 as a sampler, triggered via signals from the Angel of Morning step pulse outputs, or more explicit control via the ER-101; and processed via the MMF-1s. I do plan to add a mono, semi-modular voice in Euro format as well.

*= I call it a Sing to Me because that’s a fairly well-known panel, but technically it’s a slightly altered version of it called Orange Street Special.

ps - ^ this is all of my banana cables

I changed up my Lubadh based system this weekend and I’m really enjoying this arrangement. Slightly inspired by the Make Noise tape and microsound systems.

Recorded this short bit with a kalimba last night (and added some reverb in post)

[crunchydrums]

Really nice to have all those utilities in there. How do you like the lubadh?

[smbols]

I like it a lot, for the most part.

Positives are the sound, which is excellent, and its unique and creative interface, which manages to be pretty intuitive once you’ve had some time with it. It sounds really amazing as a pitch shifting delay, too.

Negatives are the bugs, which Instruo has been pretty good about addressing with firmware updates, but I still encounter issues every once in a while. And I wish it were larger–this is the sort of module I’d have no problem sacrificing more hp for if it meant having a bit more room to play with the controls and have full sized knobs for everything instead of trim pots.

Here is my current small system I’m using to learn Teletype. I am new to this group and Teletype and really appreciate all of the information stored in this group!

I’m slowly breaking down this patch now, but at its maximum extent, this is what it was looking like. It was sounding pretty sweet, too - though I do say so myself

[jasper_ryder]

Really stoked on this custom case purchased from @_opial recently. It’s a dang beauty!

[adamplouff]

Black Ansible, bottom left?!

[jasper_ryder]

It’s a very DIY job. First layer is permanent black marker followed by acrylic paint. Good from far, nearish okayish.

Results of the latest round of Tetris with my modular case. No new modules in - just striving to improve my workflow. No more space = no new modules unless something is outgoing (no urge to buy another case either!). 4 years deep into modular now & in the entire time, I’ve only sold off 1 module that was taking up more room than I could justify for its use (4ms SMR) & traded out 1 (makenoise STO, which someone who had a mangrove outgoing wanted). I am loving the current incarnation of this case & digging deep into what I have.

[maztik8r]

My system is almost full and I refuse to sell anything. I have a 4MS SMR and I can totally see why so many people don’t like it. It’s very easy to make things that sound like a 4MS SMR, but getting it to do anything else takes a bit of work and diving in to all the other “stuff” that’s potentially hidden in other modes. It’s a bit like the complaint about Rings sounding like Rings when you don’t excite it with anything external.

[tyleretters]

any recommendations for a stable vertical stand for an intellijel 7u performance case? i’ve tried two different guitar stands and i’m not happy with either.

Hi Martin, just wanted to thank you for these incredible comparison charts! I’ve found them all extremely useful over the years.

I was also recently searching for what I only just realized was YOUR Old Fashioned 101 for a friend getting into cocktails. So well-written and really conveys what’s important (I love the step to pause and appreciate the drink). Anyway, I thought the URL doudoroff.com looked familiar and then put it together. When my interests collide…

I’d rather spend all my time on music, but booze and computers pays for the synths.
