this looks fun! how’s the timbre?

Very cool! What are you sequencing it with?

…and it fixed a double trigger issue? That’s all I needed to hear. Got that beautiful pair of modules on order.

Thanks, it is! The timbre is really good. I have an 0-coast and it has a very different sound to the wave folder on that. You can’t sweep the odds and even harmonics like you can on the 0-coast, but it does sound good and like its Buchla counterpart when paired with the STO.
It was also my first (and only, so far) DIY module. I made some changes to resistor values, as suggested in the build guide, to make it work with Eurorack signal levels, and ordered the parts myself to build the PCB and panel. Amazingly it worked first time! :slight_smile: I have an oscilloscope which I used to calibrate the single variable resistor, but I think you could do it easily by ear.

Thanks. The short answer is that I also have a Beatstep Pro. One of the other two answers is that I like to self patch it for “drones and pulses”. I could do with a clock generator and / or divider for this and I have a design for an Arduino based one rattling around in my head.
The third answer is that I also have a MPC 1000 (free from a friend!), which I use to feed samples into the Phonogene and also use a short click sample as a trigger, so I can sequence gates opening or envelopes firing from one of the 4 outs of the MPC.

I’m still at the learning and developing stage at the moment, but I’m sure I could record an entire album (or three) with the Make Noise modular and MPC 1000.

My little corner has gotten rather cramped but I’m usually having too much fun to notice.

I just added a number of VCAs as I was sorely lacking in them for far too long. Only a day after they got here and the difference in control over everything is like night and day.

The only thing I’m really sad about is that my Metron had to make its third trip to Denver because of unresponsive buttons on the sequencer. Hopefully that’ll be back soon though!

Did a full cleaning and rearranging of my studio this past week. Part of that was finally getting all the modular gear in one place instead of having it spread out across a few portable cases. Feels good after the past 8 months or so of working with just what I could fit in the Intellijel or another small case.

As many have before me
I was faced with a choice
Living room or modules
I opted for both

Oooooh, like the quad dlpgs!

I have a couple of different modular systems so, here comes the first

that’s a genius way to join two Mantis cases together! Are those legs made of metal or some other material?

Yes that was quite interesting!

That synthi is beautiful
Tiptop just started making them they are available and metal
I’m really liking my placement of passive modules that became available with the brackets as I can use one or the other case powered or both
The Bracket is awesome

Just ordered an ochd on Rubadub and a second hand uvcf on ebay. Very excited to try this setup that is very inspired by the MS-20 architecture, augmented with a sequencer in the person of Marbles. Love the idea that my VCOs can become LFOs, my VCF can become a VCO or an LFO, and my modulations can become VCOs!
Was really hesitating between a Shades + uVCA combo and the Quad VCA, but since I already have the latter, it will be the setup I try.

PS: Probably a bit of Random*Source Serge Mantra in there too

Still working to hone in on a setup that I might use for my shows this summer. I had a Blackhole SubSix (6u50), but being able to add a bit more control over dynamics and integrate maybe foot control over the W/ was too appealing so I just got a Blackhole Six (6u60). It’s wild when you’re working with a small footprint how luxurious that 20 hp can be. If I bring the Octatrack along, I can pull out the Oots and 2hp mixer and that gives me an extra 8 hp to work with and can send my 4 audio channels straight to the OT. TBD!

Dual sports and dual plonks! Weird tape recording with w/! I bet this can get properly weird.

This is the live industrial/drone/powerelectronics setup i seem to have settled on. Gigged it a few times now and it’s solid. Going to try to make room for the Bastl Waver though.

Looks like whole load of fun! Why no Dark Matter though? I’ve wanted one for a while, but the music I make just no doesn’t suit it tbh…
