i’m such a gieskes nerd
all those great modules and all i can see is that dep2b

#8

can’t blame you! the man is a crazy genius.
took me 2 years to find dep2b, one of my favorite modules.
my modulargrid plan is out of date too, there are also 2 gieskes vu-percs now.

rad

need more space before i can get those
been swooning over em for a couple years

i need to slot a row40 into some simple 3u skiff and migrate everything over

#10

Its a neat idea to use the Row power jumper for the Switch. Is it possible to connect power into Switch from the rear? I’m thinking a case with all the power cables coming in from the back would be nice.

#11

you could hard solder an external jack and route it internally. i’ve considered doing this with my other case.

#12

so stoked. tonight all my monome modules and power supplies arrived plus a mangrove and inteli unity mixer. awaiting ginko sampleslicer and already racked was phonogene optomix and function. not so strong in standalone category but depending on how much control i can render from ww+es+switch and my trusty 128…

yup i’m stoked.

i want to hear it too but no time yet.

Probably a silly question, but what do you mean by “jumper reduces your power brick count”? How do I do this? I’m new to modular. Thanks :smile:

#17

i made a barrel-barrel connector so that only one capably-powered brick plugs into both the euro 40ms power and the switch power-- shown in the photo at the top!

Ah okay, thanks. I thought maybe you did something to the power supply itself.

#19

still really like this power config.

#20

Anyone try this with the Row Power 30 instead/as well? I’m guessing both the row power 30 and 40 use the same power brick - so if I’m not mistaken, shouldn’t this work with that as well despite the lower 5v ability of the row power module itself?

#21

this should probably be fine, but you may experience some weirdness if you start to light up a lot of the grid. worth testing out.

#22

FWIW, I’m using a Row Power 30 for my little sidecar. No problems here, though I’ll probably bump to a 40 to play it safe. (I’m done with power-related wierdnesses!)

I have a Row Power 40 for a 6U 84HP, with all the Monome modules, plus some Mutable Instruments and Harvestman (including a Malgorithm, which is a bit of a power bad boy in other systems), and I haven’t noticed any strange behaviour. So I assume a Row Power 30 should be enough for a 3U plus a grid.

#24

what kind of banana gear are you interfacing that sidecar system with?

#25

Bugbrand/Serge. :party:

#26

is there an easy solution to connect Switch to the intellijel psu TPS80W mentioned above? would love to have one less brick, but I’ve already fried my grid once with unstable power, so I want to play it safe.
