Last item I sold on there for $500, my payout was $432. And it is impossible to speak to a human for support. There's a scammer that has a spoof website, but their AI doesn't understand what I'm trying to report.

Just got scammed by @CAROLARSEN.

Using the email address davidbern1255@gmail.com and paypal @JudithKranz843

Super friendly, said he sent the module, but haven't heard anything. Got flagged by modulargrid.

i second this! Reverb sucks. It may be time to create an alternative community marketplace if it doesnt already exist!

I have a seventeen 17u/104hp beautiful Needham walnut rack that I would like to sell for half what I paid. Are there any market places other than Reverb?!

I want to build a system with linear response oscillators. The beating and phasing changing over intervals is so much more pleasing than exponential response oscillalators. It doesn't have to be Eurorack, and DIY is a plus. Any suggestions?

This is the final form, all modules are en route to their final destination! So pumped!

Recorded a Digitone 2 track today...

Thank you!
Yes i think it turned out good enough for a first attempt.
With the white finish i am still a bit sceptical, now it has this retro console look somehow..
I actually wanted to try the white finish to see what kind of colors can overpaint it nicely.
Would love some black macro pattern on top of it or an entirely new paint job..
i will experiemt around a bit and probably build a simmilar 7u case as well.

hahaha I know what you mean! The best way to do it is stick something small (screwdriver) in the hole, angle the case until the nut slides against the screwdriver. put the case horizontal and then give gentle puchs against the case untill the slidingnut is alined with the hole.

your case looks realy nice!

Hey modular nerds, here to report @Soundmonkey.

I have supended the user

Hey modular nerds, here to report @Soundmonkey. They received the cash for 2 Make Noise modules: LxD & DXG and never answered after the money was received (approval on their end). Meanwhile saw ohter users adding thumbs down on their profile, I reached out to them and apparently also bought the same modules and never heard about it anymore as well. Here's all informations gathered to identify them:

• Email of contact: miloo040922@gmail.com
• First Paypal account they gave me was not verified by Paypal: algenisvidal@hotmail.com
• Second Paypal account: bonchesrdtravel algenis@gmail.com

Be careful with this user, most wanted!

hej all,
im new here and wanted to give an update on this diy case build using custom aluminium U-profile.
So overall for doing it the first time it was medium difficulty for someone with rusty metal and wood crafting skills :)
materials where really afordable, overall maybe 80-90 euros, less if you have the building basics.
+ about 1/2 to 1 day of your time
+
Prototyping of the sidepanels was done with hard cardboard, which was super helpful to get it right...

for84 hp, 4u i needed the following materials

Custom aluminium U-Profile from online service - about 38 euro
rails- about 35 euro
cheap birkwood sidepanel ( with cutting service)
M5 and M3 screws. drillheads for aluminium and wood
beewax, wood color and
a drill

One issue that came up.is that it is easy to drill into the aluminium,
but really hard to match the sliding nuts with the screw holes
since it is completly covered by the case.
what helped was to use a torch and look through the hole
while pushing the nut carefully. but even then it is possible to have trouble fitting it!

@modulargrid

Thanks, Serge Marketplace no longer hurts my eyes !

Thank you! There are indeed many, many, many hours of development behind this new version of Zazou.
To answer the question, there are many ways to influence the musical style. There are a huge number of parameters you can act on, and because they interact with each other, you very quickly go beyond the starting algorithm itself.

Each algorithm has its own variation parameters (between 4 and 9 depending on the model).

Each track is independent, though they can also be linked through sequences or scales, so each one can have its own algorithm and will produce results that depend directly on the gates sent to its input. For example, a combination like Walking Bass + Arpeggio + Guidetone + Julia on a pentatonic scale gives something very different from Serial + Tintinnabuli on a chromatic scale.

The sequences also have a huge influence on the musical style: with the same algorithms, you can get very different results depending on whether you use a “Blues” pattern or a “Trance Pop” pattern.

In fact, Zazou is designed as a near-infinite exploration tool. It is very far from being a pre-wired rhyme box, even though of course you can save the results of your exploration and then use them later in Pattern mode for live performance, for example.
Zazou draws on many elements of music theory and uses remarkable combinations through its algorithms, but in the end it is a true instrument in its own right, and it will produce very different things depending on the musician using it.

@Geometry Dash
Hi Gilles, the update sounds great! With all the new algorithms and harmony modes, how much control do users have to guide the generative results toward a specific musical style instead of purely algorithmic output?

Your setup is so great and minimalist! Its great what you get out of it, love your sound! The filter is a gem! Amazing rack!

@ExitFields was advertising a Vhikk X for very cheap, he offered Paypal FF or banktransfer. We exchanged a few messages, he said he bought the module last August. When I replied that I'd like to have buyer's prtoection, and if possible I'd like to see the invoice, he hasn't replied anymore. He is still selling a Voltage Block for half the prize. I have no proof, but be careful.

We changed the remember me function last year to a more secure implementation.
But if you set the "remember me" checkbox it should keep you online several weeks. If you still get logged out this might happen when an error on the server occurs. Do you get logged out when you do a specific action?

Yesterday I logged in and checked the box to stay logged in. Today I had to log in again also checking the box.

To be honest its been logging me out a heck of a lot lately, like maybe every 2-3 or 3-4 days.

I’ve collected a bunch of Behringer modules over 4 or so years
and I wanted to get them off the shelf and give them a home.
I build mostly for auto-generation, I’ve added enough other parts to make it workable.
It sure used a lot of knurlies.

I tried to think vertically this time across all four rows and not be just two cases glued together.
Worked out to 36hp for note events, 16hp for envelopes, 32hp for voices, and 24hp for mixing.
Stereo! No fx modules! No midi!!
Two big wall wart power supplies! :(

It turned out very nice. I wish it was as big as it looks, but it's heavier than you would think.
Everything tests ok. I’ll try recording tomorrow.

I used to be able to go at least a week or more without having to log in. Did something change? Is it something wrong on my end?

Definitely on the VCA front. The Doepfers are ideal. Much thanks!

VCAs. The Doepfer A-130-2 or A-133-2 would be perfect.

In my core case I don't want 'character' from my VCA's because I use them for mixing as well as cv modulation. this is so so good at helping to combine my case into a cohesive whole.

in terms of dual VCA's with Character, i love the Tallin in my smaller 64 pallette!

I prefer 3 (dual) vca's with different character.

Any suggestions to fill the remaining 4HP in this Mannequins-centric Intelligel case? Considering either an Endorphin.es AIRSTREAMER (redundant?) or AUTOPILOT (superfluous?)
Silver faceplate preferred but not required.
My Mangrove is the earlier version, so PPM is not an option there.
TIA

The best vca i've used thus far for general purpose, great size and 6 vca's!

This a set I'm developing for the next few shows. Lugging out my key sysnths or guitar isn't always ideal and this have been a big solve.

Hi everyone,

I bought the Intellijel Multigrain and I’m still a bit overwhelmed. What I’d like to do is start from a kind of zero point when playing a sample. In other words, I want the sample to play back without any alteration from the Multigrain, exactly as it is stored on the SD card, and then start modifying it from there.

So far I haven’t managed to set the parameters in a way that lets the sample play back “raw.” Is that even possible?

I’d really appreciate it if someone could help.

Thanks!

This module is listed as available, but it is not. I've been watching the product page for over a year and it's never been in stock.

Otherwise Pam's should have ratcheting and bouncing ball envelopes, no? You can also (self)patch lfos or envelopes to its CV inputs and have that control clock rates or divisions of certain channels.
-- teataine

Aha -- you're right! I didn't realise that I could modulate the clock division, that is indeed the right move. Will need to play with that next time. I don't think that my version of Pam's (PNW) has ratcheting, but CV to clock will open a lot of possibilities in that direction.

I'm considering creating an internal rack connection between the WMD Performance Mixer MKII expander slots and the 8TR recorder, but I couldn't find any photos of the back of the unit anywhere.

I figured ModularGrid is the perfect place to share exactly this kind of information. In case anyone else is curious about what the back looks like, here is a picture:

Additional Note: Please keep in mind that the WMD PM MKII uses a 2mm pitch header, while the 8TR uses the standard 2.54mm (0.1") pitch headers. You'll need a custom adapter or specific cabling to bridge the two.

It's like a guitar player goes to a Jimi Hendrix show, goes home, and can't figure out why his music doesn't sound as good as Jimi

I suspended both. It's depressing.

@LeMecSousTonLit doesn't respond any more. Tried to make a payment for an LxD (still listed and available) via paypal friends. paypal thinks it's a fraud and wouldn't let me do the transaction. I told LeMecSousTonLit, (also asked for an alternative secure payment option) - no answer since. This was already 3 days ago.
Paypal address was @priil342.

I remember watching a video on youtube about the auditory illusion thing they do with rythms, where it sounds like it's constantly speeding up/slowing down, despite staying the same tempo. It the rythmic equivalent of a Shepard Tone. Unfortunately I can't find the video now, but I'll link it if I do.

Otherwise Pam's should have ratcheting and bouncing ball envelopes, no? You can also (self)patch lfos or envelopes to its CV inputs and have that control clock rates or divisions of certain channels. If you have a looping envelope with EoC/EoR out in your rack, you can control the rate of that and get all kinds of wonky swings and bursts. There's probably still plenty you can do to fuck with the timing and groove even with your setup, you just have to think outside the box. Like if you have an oscillator that goes into lfo/subaudio, use the square out as a clock/trigger source, then sequence that.

@Tyrion88 is a scammer, paypal account is Volkmar Engel (username VolEngel), phone number +49 176 89735856 (business account on whatsapp), email miloo040922@gmail.com (username Nilo). I think all names and contact methods are fake in the end, there's a not just one person in Germany called Volkmar Engel, so every possible link is a dead one.
Starts out with decent communication, sends pictures of module, promises to send packages tomorrow. After payment no more answers.

Update: I made a fake account, asked for availability of another module, just to test if he's still active, and he is responding to that account. So 100% a scammer. He used the same email and phone number, but other paypal account: Tobias Engelhardt (tobias9342/tobias8engelhardt354@t-online.de).
