Maybe my heavy use falls in line with the timbral spectrum of my system. I’ve just been able to flush out scraping metallic FM sounds along with drones using a single oscillator. It fills out sonic space if you dial it in right and use the cv parameters right, not to mention how well it filters grimy acid basslines with the benefit being pinged. I suppose the same could be said for similar filters but I’ve grown fond of mine.

Cold Mac. serves so many ‘simple’ purposes while also rewarding deep experimentation.

the noise reap lfo is amazing - I didn’t see the point in having mirrored outputs until I figured out I could do stuff like have the resonance of a filter increase while the cutoff freq decreased, etc.

it’s hard to pick one module specifically…but I think because delay is a core foundation of what I do, I’d have to say my echophon. it’s like a regular digital delay / pitch shifting pedal, but completely deconstructed.

Oh yeah, CVP here too!

Frames for sure. I struggled with whether to get the full sized version or a Plancks for quite a while until I decided that this module would likely become an important centerpiece and was worth dedicating the space and getting better control of it. I’m glad I did; it’s well worth the hp and it’s one of those modules that seems limited only by your imagination. I really love using it along with Compare2 as a drum sequencer, sending Frames’ offsets to the shift and size inputs to create several different rhythms and scanning through them.

For me it’s the Verbos Scan & Pan. It’s the module I’ve owned the longest, and the one that is always used—of course, it’s my main mixer, so that might be part of it! But beyond that, it’s helped me dedicate my standalone VCAs to modulation use since each channel has one built in, it has great gain saturation for coloring which helps me get more out of simple waveforms, and the scan/pan/width controls let me use the mixer in so many different ways. I can use it as simple stereo, but also sending to different effects and wiping between them, or as wet/dry instead of L/R, or as a kind of rough cadavre exquis. It constantly inspires me to patch differently.

I’m out of the eurorack game now, but when I had a full system Blinds was the game changer for me (partnered with Quadra+Expander and Batumi, lots of cross-patching between all three). Being able to modulate modulation intensity with other modulation sources became a key part of how I thought about patching my system.

Idk what it is about Batumi… I keep trying to find a replacement, thinking I can go without it… It just keeps coming back. I cant do anything without it. It keeps me hostage with its slidery goodness.

I would like to hear what this sounds like!

Here’s a blobby, unformed snippet of some recording last night while I was trying to come up with synth parts to go along with some rhythms. Thankfully Frames can save states between sessions so I’m still trying to create a song with this patch. Compare 2 is getting fed two outputs of a channel of Batumi and I’m manually scrubbing between a couple frames and the sweet spots that formed in between to create the chorus/verse sections. The snare is the only drum not triggered by C2’s logic outputs, it’s triggered by a clock multiplier running from the same channel of Batumi.

I really like the off-kilter, shuffle feel that you get from the Compare 2!

Ansible is indespesible for me. It’s one of the main reasons I still have a eurorack setup going.

The Chronoblob by Alright Devices really makes things work for me. The sync delay feature alone is very good, but when you start using it with things like euclidean rhythms or random triggers you get into undefined territory pretty fast.

The zoom function is changed with the expert firmware. One of the slider in zoom mode allows you to attenuate the LFO :slight_smile:

Glad I kept mine. I’ll need to change firmware, is it painless?

Yeah it’s easy, you just get it from the official website and there’s everything you need. http://xaocdevices.com/main/batumi/
