It’s been a long time since I patched the two systems together, but I’m glad I did. I had a fun evening.

Hello everyone,
hope you are keeping safe and in good health.

This is my system, it is complemented by a grid and a tanzbar.

There is also a DIY norns, a MI Anushri and a little mixer with some pedals fxs.
I have never been satisfied by Euro fx.

Was video chatting with a friend and wanted to show him my synths so I laid them out. I’ve adopted the one-case-one-instrument philosophy, and I like it!

Do you have these on Modular Grid? Very curious about the back two…

oooh, a dual Phonogene case. looks fun!

Most recent iteration of my setup. Still getting used to the newest additions: Generate 3 and Belgrad, but both seem to have amazing flexibility and range of timbres.

Also really enjoying getting deeper with Tetrapad/Tete: using it for chords with 4 voices or crazy patch morphing with voltages, and the sequencing of both. Such a powerful combo.

Hey there, the back one is just the make noise tape and microsound system. The front one is here

Agreed! I’ve thought about breaking up some of my cases and I just can’t do it. Having discrete systems that can also interact with each other is my fun zone.

I once had a larger single case and would so often get patch-choice-paralysis I just had to break things up. I’m happy to say, though, that breaking things up has roughly mapped to more artistic output from me. So that is an indication to me I am on the right track, personally.

Love this, would like to see a more ‘overhead’ photo so we could see what’s going on. I take it by “one case per instrument” that you don’t cross-patch the cases overly much?

You’re working on two levels of modular here - modules arranged into meta-modules. You should try patching the outputs of each skiff into a stand-alone matrix mixer for maximum fractal mindmelt. Remember to hit record :slight_smile:

Thank you! Next time they’re all out at once I’ll snap a pic. Hah, I guess that’s exactly your point—you’re right I don’t cross patch much. I like to record pieces from each and then compose with those pieces. Certain kit feels right for creating and other feels right for processing.

I would love a matrix mixer—saving/scoping out the options there.

I had been waiting since November on an order for a second Disting mk4, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise when the EX dropped and superseded the two mk4 plan. That and the FX Aid filled the last open slots this week. The intention is to keep this as is for at least a couple years - though I have considered slipping a Crow in the mix at some point. Regardless, I’m quite happy with this set of modules - plenty of direct hands on control while at the same time plenty of depth/alternate modes to explore should I wish to wander into less-charted territory.

I am assembling a small Malekko Wiard instrument. Grant Richter is an amazing designer and these modules benefit from being with their Wiard family. As they are 10 years old I guess this is ‘vintage’ eurorack. Would like to add an XMIX and Oscillator and relocate into a slightly bigger case, then it’s done.

A few weeks ago I decided I either needed to sell it all, or buy a bigger case. I bought a bigger case (and the modules to fill it). :grimacing:

Nice case! I’m interested in how you use ES-8 vs Tirana for sequencing and ES-8 vs Soundstage for mixing/output. I’m imagining a situation where you just “noodle” with Tirana and Soundstage -> HPO without any computer interference and other times where you skip Soundstage and route everything to a DAW. :thinking:

That is lovely! And I bet it sounds great. A 100% Malekko/Wiard system is in my future, I’m sure of that :stuck_out_tongue:

The ES-8 I mostly use for audio or CV coming out of Ableton. Lately, I’ve been getting 3 or 4 parts looping in Ableton, and then feeding those into various parts of the system for processing/mixing. I find it’s a nice way to build relationships between parts and have everything breathe and grow together. Pretty much all the sound sources in my system can act as a filter/mangler, or an oscillator/sound source when I don’t have it plugged into Ableton. Kinda two modes, depending on my mood.

The Tirana I’ve been using to add variations, and move things around. I’m still figuring out how it fits in. I just really like Xaoc stuff, and thought I’d give it a shot.

The Soundstage is such a handy mixer so far. Even when using Ableton and the ES-8, I will sometimes go through it (if I’m okay with a single stereo track). It can really clean up what otherwise would be mud.

A lot of this is still new to me, and as always a learning/discovery process. I definitely don’t feel like I’m done. At the moment, I am very unsure if I want to keep the Panharmonium.
