if using one JF as a sound source and one as a modulator then I say go for it, but two as modulators or two as a sound source I think would be a bit much in 104hp depending on what else is there.

Buchla setup ready for a show tomorrow evening!

Run me through the left case and top skiff if you don’t mind…

Sure thing! The left case is a Sputnik 25S Dual Oscillator (a 259 clone in one space), a 257r Voltage Processor, a 281r Quad Envelope Generator, and a 292c Quad Lo Pass Gate and 248r Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator (a really great sequencer that can do a large number of things). The skiff is all 200e stuff: 206e preset manager and mixer, 261e Dual Oscillator, 267e Uncertainly Source/Dual Filter, 281e and 292e.

That’s what all’s in there; lemme know if you wanna know about the patch :slight_smile:

Current state of affairs. The case is a black Intellijel 7U

here’s my current instrument:

there’s some things that are changing though - trying to figure out how to fit in a DLD and Cold Mac

@huron that is a very well-designed case. I’m always shocked at how balanced and reasonable people’s 7U cases are, when mine feels mostly like a careless mess lol

wrapped up a more or less significant transition last night:

Very nice! I’m building a somewhat similar box. What power supply are you using?

I have an Intellijel 7U case with the beefy TPS80W PSU

CV bus case came today- feels really nice. Sadly I didn’t realize it needs M2.5 screws and all I have are M3 and there aren’t any brick and mortar stores near me who sell them, so loosey goosey patching for a couple days! :woozy_face:

still shuffling the modules around (Mangrove currently for sale), looking at add an Erbe-Verb, not sure after that.

ooh looks fun :slight_smile: how do you like zadar? also, i guess this means ultimately dpo won your heart over 2 mangroves (I think I’m remembering correctly that it was you that had this dilemma?) PS i love love love stroke of blue, been listening to it repeatedly the last few weeks – i’ve just been leaving the bandcamp tab open :joy: that reminds me i need to finally log into bandcamp and buy some of the great lines music i’ve been listening to… :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

thanks so much for the kind words :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’ve decided to go in the direction of basically a make noise shared system with a few twists, so settled on the DPO. I do love the mangroves but at the moment I can’t afford to keep everything around, just looking to hone in on a focused system.

Here is my current modular setup. I began with a Make Noise shared system and gradually expanded.

After downsizing due to redundancy this is the state I’m in, and I have to tell you I’m more in love with this thing that I ever was before.


If you look through this thread you’ll see that this has changed quite a few times, but always towards getting smaller. What my personal journey in the modular world has taught me is that working with less is more. I don’t mean that in the traditional sense either. I mean that by utilizing modules with lots of functionality one can have more with less while still benefitting from all that modular has to offer. With this particular setup I believe all things sonically are possible. And because of the way it is setup it will just continue grow like a sponge. My next picture in here should include some monome stuff. :+1:

For anyone interested, the roli blocks are plugged in via midi bud (midi over bluetooth) to the SSP, and the Continuum is plugged into the FH-2. The inverse is also possible. the A4 and Rtym are all fed into the Octatrack. Midi from the Qu-nexus is fed into the octatrack which is then passing it on to the Rtym and A4. The Continuum is plugged into the SSP, and becomes part of the modular’s sound, which is then fed into the octatrack. I’m thinking of switching that up and having the Octatrack run into the SSP, and then the final out be the modular.

I finally took the time last night to rebuild my case using the rail brackets I got. The added width means the case is even uglier than it was before, but the modules all fit properly now. And having the 1u row in the middle is SO much better than at the top. All the knobs and sliders on that top row will finally be unobstructed!

back in one case, rearranging stuff and selling modules

So great to see everyone’s setups here! I’m guessing I’m at that point of Eurorack expansion that happens after a year or so, before paring everything down to the beautiful, minimal pods I’m seeing in this thread?

Here’s where I’m at for now, I went from a Pittsburgh 208 to a 360 to accommodate a mixer, I really wanted to have this instrument be self-contained. Recently added a popcorn which I’m loving, plus an Erbe-verb which I can’t believe I’ve done without for so long.

FYI I funded my Eurorack by liquidating a bunch of recording studio gear I wasn’t using. I also sold a very nice guitar to fund my Buchla 208r last November. Hope to someday get a cheap 218 and build out a little Easel setup.

That’s kind of a cliche around here :slight_smile: Not everybody takes the same paths.

At about 2.5 years in, I’m going through kind of a consolidation of my modular, but it’s still going to be 456HP (albeit with a few blank panels for now), and tied to a DAW and a small cluster of other gear. That’s what works for me :slight_smile: Pics as soon as that new case arrives and I get it moved in…

Voiced the beauty of this system on IG already but oh my how it’s beautiful :black_heart:
