Show us your modular system

[autotectonic]

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

[n-So]

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!

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

ooh looks fun 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 that reminds me i need to finally log into bandcamp and buy some of the great lines music i’ve been listening to…

[n-So]

thanks so much for the kind words

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.

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 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 Pics as soon as that new case arrives and I get it moved in…

[Noisetrees]

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

[ludvista29]

MN Skiff not complete yet… but we’re getting somewhere

[alanza]

I dunno if I’m quite to “minimal pods” level, but my path to 104HP follows yet another road, not motivated by, like, amazing aesthetics, but more being (à la Azealia Banks) “broke with expensive taste”.

Your rack looks beautiful

[ideaofnorth]

I really believe there are strengths in limitations, which is why I’m loving these smaller racks. When I got the Buchla I was amazed at how much could be done with relatively few tools. Anyway, it’s a journey I guess?

Thanks!

A home base from which to explore. Mangrove and Three Sisters make up a “complex oscillator” in the sense that they’re receiving the same pitch, FM-ing each other and their output is combined via the Cold Mac manual’s Logical Crossfade patch. Trying LPG before filter (thx, QPAS), High and Low crossfaded via Cold Mac, All out to W//, W// to LPG to Offset. Kria sequences the oscillators, the filter cutoff, and W// pitches. Just Friends for Just Envelopes .

Did a fair bit of Teletype thinking to make sure recording to W// programmatically never results in bits stuck on the tape at loop points, also making sure W// stays relatively in sync.

There’s even room to grow! Plenty of space for Teletype, Maths and the bottom two rows of Cold Mac to get involved, probably mostly to add movement to the sound. We’re gonna let that problem marinate and focus on communion with Kria though.

Sequencers… really hard to get used to writing with for me personally, somehow. Taking little bites out of the problem at the end of the day. The meta-sequencer seems like the answer, so the question is finding interesting ways to feed it while still allowing for phasing.

This is where I’m at with trying to learn René 2. I can produce some fun patch ideas, but I really need to figure out how to make my sequences and patches evolve. Although surprisingly whenever I record a patch, six or seven minutes just fly by, and I don’t really get too bored when I listen back.

[renegog]

not using just type or w/ type? any reason or wisdom u can impart on an imminent teletype owner?

[riggar]

Very nice! What computer / op system do you link up with?

Unless I’m missing something I can’t see any mocking taking place? Both your post and that of @bradleyallen seem unconnected, and both equally valid as different opinions.

[2disbetter]

If I am wrong I have no problem apologizing and smoothing things over.
