Show us your modular system

[21echoes]

How are you liking the MMF? I’ve been torn between that and an LxD. I’d probably primarily use it as a LPF/HPF but I’m worried about not having the option of an LPG in my system.

[yobink]

If you’re not familiar with the Meng Qi DPLPG, check it out. It’s a dual 1-pole vactrol based LPG / VCA module that only takes 2 HP space, and requires no power supply. It sounds great, and it’s easy to squeeze in your case.

[kasselvania]

I’ve been wondering, how is it in comparison to the LxD? I’ve actually been itching for a way to get 2hp in my rack, and taking the LxD down to the DPLPG would help make that happen.

[yobink]

Well less options, with a sound that maybe falls somewhere in between the -12db and -6db on the LxD? But you can use 2 DPLPG instead of a single LxD and not worry about open power headers, etc.

[standup]

Redoing the main rack, it looks kind of empty right now. There’s a mixer, a TipTop rack, a skiff with morphagene/clouds, Ekdahl Moisturizer (love it), and a 2-tier Moog rack with Mother 32 and maths etc.

[MGFM]

Here’s my system, 2 84 hp cases (SanSan). I run this with an iPad, I am pretty comfortable with it but Lubadh is struggling to find its place as there’s a lot of loopers on the iPad I’ve discovered and am not finding much use (yet) to have the cv ctrl for a looper.

very different things. get the MMF if you want a resonant filter with self-oscillation feature and 1v/oct input. but the ping input isn’t like on a LxD, since it pings the cutoff only, the signal’s output level stays the same. second the advice about DPLPG - it’s good value, especially if you have a buffered mult to drive it from.

[coreyr]

Ah, could you explain what you use the buffered mult for with the DLPG? Is it because it doesn’t like unbuffered signals from maths and similar circuits to open?

[electret]

I think it would work great with a Mutable links, you can use the buffered mults and mix the 2 channels afterwards.

[eesn]

Definitely try this for yourself.
Ordinarily an input has high enough resistance to take the voltage from an output but not the current - in effect transferring voltage, but not power. Without a buffer, consuming that signal (current) would cause the voltage to drop, whereas an opamp would prop it back up, drawing from its own power supply. I could be wrong about all this, but it correlates with my experience with going to the LPG’s CV directly or through a buffer.

[yobink]

I’ve never used a buffered mult with the DPLPGs and have not had any issues at all. That said, I am now curious to try this and listen to the difference!

[eesn]

this all varies from LPG to LPG…

[jlmitch5]

I really like my mystic circuits 0hp LPG. It can be had for 23 as a kit or 33 assembled (and the kit is perfect for a first soldering project) It sounds great to my ears, though I’ve never owned another vactrol-based LPG.

And a deck of oblique strategies

[faded]

This is what I’ve been hacking on for the past 2 years, what I’ve been calling my easel ambient. At first I was trying to build up my own version of something like a Buchla music easel. I wanted a marbles for a while, but I do like my Wogglebug (minus the audio outs, which have always been useless for me). And I can get the turing-machine-ness generative patterns out of my teletype or disting in shift register mode. I use stages for short buchla-esque sequencer, as well as for LFOs and for AD (rarely do I do the whole ADSR). I use morphagene in almost every patch, essentially as a bed, for texture or delay, and for harmony - essentially as a second complex voice if you will. I have two Takaab modules: the Dual LPG, which I was hoping would eliminate need for a dedicated filter (decision is still out on that one. thinking I should also get a dedicated VCF?), and the Nearness, which is an incredible panning mixer. I love it. Technically I should have 2hp left in my skiff, but somehow looks like I have 3 or 4hp left. Is that possible? Are one of my modules smaller than stated on modulargrid?

Not sure how to fill that last little bit. Thinking filtering or a 2hp pluck or another disting for another dedicated sampler?

[standup]

Pluck is really cool. Mine may have stopped working, but it was fun for a while!

The last time I sent it CV and gate it did nothing. Need to try again then get in touch with 2HP.

[pftjschute]

they were super prompt sending a replacement when I had a hat start acting weird

[praffensperger]

Patched up for my last youtube video

[disquiet]

Got a 54HP Pulp Logic case going. My first experience with 1U tiles, which includes hooking up an expression pedal for the first (and definitely not the last) time (youtube.com/disquiet for a one-minute proof of concept). Having trouble getting TXb to play nice with the ER-301 and the 16n, but I’ll figure it out.

Apologies if I missed this mentioned previously, but what’s that speaker?
