Show us your modular system

I have not! I don’t own one, I used a friend’s for awhile and loved it.

Done? For a while at least.
My last addition was the DPLPG. That module was one of the first module I ever bought and then regretfully sold. Now it’s the last one in a setup that is longing for some kind of closure. Here you go, setup. You’re welcome.

I’m pretty sure that I’m finished.

That’s an insane amount of Sputnik you’ve got there.

Pineyb · 2018-12-16T08:26:14.908Z

Yeah, I like one brand instruments. I bought all of this even though I knew that the company was imploding. It was as close to a big Buchla 200 system as I could get in Eurorack. There are issues here and there, but it does function really well as a stand alone, and sounds great. The O&C helps to fill in the functional gaps, and I’ll probably add another running Hemisphere Suite.

that looks like a peli case… i see a few people on here making lunchbox systems with them… wondering about tips for best way to mount the rails?

rycolos · 2018-12-16T12:59:30.303Z

What’d you use for a psu in this?

autreland · 2018-12-16T21:06:31.582Z

@Benjamin_Mauch very tempting . . .

@dspk i used the highly scientific method of drilling directly into the case! a friend of mine had a much more interesting design for his though, which was laser-cutting a plexiglass insert to rest around the lip and mounting the rails to that.

@rycolos it’s the mmi modular usb power supply—the board is readily available on reverb.

Pineyb:

I like one brand instruments.

I can relate to that, as nearly everything in my setup is Make Noise. I traded my Sputnik QVCF/VCA for credit toward an Optomix and some other MN stuff last year, and couldn’t be happier with the decision. I’m still curious how the Sputnik Quadraphonic Mixer would’ve been received had it got past the prototype stage before Roman switched gears.

Pineyb · 2018-12-17T03:31:49.635Z

It is pretty much the MN Black and Gold system and the Sputnik case. I find that I like the LPG function in the Sputnik much better than I like the Optomix… but vactrols have so much variation that any one from any manufacturer might be the one that seems right. The utility case is the only group of modules from all over the map… but necessary. I did start with some Mutable stuff, but I’m not feeling it yet.

caelmore · 2018-12-17T03:41:35.124Z

The vactrols in my QVCF/VCA were part of the reason I ended up trading it away, without similar issues apparent in the vactrols I’ve got in my Optomix. I guess I got lucky there. I’ve introduced a Monome Walk and a Worng Electronics Vector Space into my setup, and may introduce a few other non-Make Noise things as I find a need for them. I’m trying to resist the urge to start a second rig exclusively for Random*Source Euro-Serge or 4U Serge, as it’s become increasingly tempting with some of the reading and researching I’ve done recently.

Been trying to downsize/consolidate into a smaller portable system that I can travel with. Just completed it with some final arrivals, it’s a good feeling, now I can stop buying stuff! (I give it two months lol)
