Show us your modular system

[mmml]

There is a sufficient lack of Buchla pics to motivate posting a photo of my instrument. And yes…I do use all white patch cables

I thought to myself, “This looks like a Jamie Drouin photo,” before clicking your username to confirm it.

Ha! I had forgotten that my user name was so mysteriously cryptic on here!

Working on downsizing my rig, kind of enjoying the limitations it is forcing upon me; namely having to be more creative with fewer choices on a smaller system. Trying to embrace the minimal aesthetic, but is less really more?

As previously mentioned, added scope & mixup swapped QPAS for Teletype… We shall see!

Here is mine! First post here, thought I would present myself with my modular rig long time lurker, so many interesting things and positive vibes going on in this community.

[eblomquist]

Do you have this on modulargrid?

[kveye]

Any audio of that patch? Looks really interesting

[markel_m]

Sure! The buffered multiplier I have in the case is not the ladik one in the modulargrid rack, but other than that this is it.

thanks

what do and don’t you love about your NTO?

[kburwash]

I love it’s sound. I get some weird decrepit tones out of it and flute sounds too. But it’s kinda big and I don’t use a lot of the modulation options, so it is on list to maybe replace.

[mdtz]

huh! would not have guessed flute sounds. it’s always come across to me as a very buzzy oscillator. how are you doing that?

[kburwash]

Well I don’t use the square as a sound source ever, nor the variable wave. Pretty much only the sine or triangle. Almost always into the VCFQ often using one of the other NTO outputs for audio rate modulation. Not exactly sure exact what I do for flutes, but it’s likely some combo of that.

[kburwash]

i couple flute examples… kinda leads floating over top of things…

Here is my (no longer quite so) little home set-up. I sometimes use the top skiff on its own. I mounted it to the wall to increase the earthquake/child-safety.

Posted in another thread, looks like this one is a little more focused on my interests

These are exquisite - the second one especially. Following now, obviously!

Launch almost here

Hi, here’s my modular system. It’s maximal. Power is provided by 4 2A custom Hinton PSUs, most of them with bus boards and all sharing a common ground. Some modules come and go, but most that are pictured are here to stay. I’m a bit OCD about different colored modules being scattered about, so the case design is always an optimization game juggling the variables of aesthetics, power consumption (including 5v requirements which only one of the cases can handle), functional association, and ergonomics. Interfacing with the rest of the system is done through the Hinton PinMix, which has a balanced DB25 connection into and out of a Switchcraft patch bay. I’d be curious to hear anyone’s feedback or happy to answer any questions on the build, I’ve been working on it for quite some time.
