experimental 80hp system im calling 'kittydrone':

thoughts?

seriously? no comments?

people were saying my other rack configuration designs had way too much going on, so, now i have stripped it back essentially as much as i know how, and not even a single regular user has anything to say?

weird.

peace ✌️

.edit.

(also, can anyone comment on if the kitty eyes / penrose would actually generate a randomish arpeggiation effect like i think?)

{✌️✌️}.

it seems to me ridiculous that i could post something relevant for feedback and see no replies on an active form over 24h later, etc.

i dont think this place is being run great. ...

troll post:

lol, guiz. new modular rack design. is it 'modular' enough, do you think? "feedback".

i dont think this place is being run great. ...

Hi,

I think a lot of it boils down to: help us to help you.

Maybe this rack is perfect for what you want to do, maybe it needs tweaking or even a full redesign, but without any context around what you want to achieve / music you want to make, it is difficult to offer advice or opinion.

Do you have any examples of the kind of music / sound you want to make?

What do you have in the way of equipment currently?

Seems like a random collection of modules in a random placement.
It'll make noises, but as an instrument, it's unclear what you're after, beyond a display of stuff you want.

There are potential voices there, but mixing the mess together is unclear.
You need more active mults. You have all of that signal creation but it can't be shared easily amoung modules.
Put the Pam's all the way to the left as your master clock/reset, then mult it out to the rest.
I'm unsure why you chose the Frap Tools module in the 2nd build. Not really what it's for.
Dump the modules from 2hp and keep looking. Save the frustration.
I wish that the Disting wasn't the interface nightmare it is. Such a good idea, but sadly, never stays long.

Are you going stereo or mono or hybrid? Are you sharing clocks with something else? Will you need midi?
You going to play actual notes? It's hard to tell, is there a quantizer in there someplace? Do you need one?
Both racks look chaotic to patch and play without some sort of signal flow plan.
It's no fun weeding thru a drape of patch cables all of the time.
Avoid using stackable and LED cables.
Don't know what to say about those two joysticks...

Simplify. I suspect that y0u'll never get to even a quarter of what those higer level modules do, just on their own.
I'd start with less than half of those higher level modules and put more time into building out
your clock/reset, the CV/gate/trigger distribution, and your mixing, and then focus on learning the modules.

p.s. Modular Grid has become essential to my work. It's a terrific and unmatched resource. They're great.

this was just before i found out that the strange-r bighat existed. i was trying to do exactly what it does, more or less, as a concept, but just then i found out there was something that did this and so much more. kind of a synchronicity that i was trying to design essentially just this before i found it. im used to forums where threads get 20 replies in a day, etcetera. the bugs i was experiencing were probably just on my android phone, mostly, and probably not actually an indication that all the forum software is wrong. it just seems like there is no real guide to get started in modular, and, imho, just posting on this forum doesnt seems like as much of a spring board as it could be if things were more active on here. im going through my own personal stuff right now. just... not seeming to receive enough real time feedback, like i would expect from an active global forum, was just an added discomfort to my situation. etc.

sorry. all my accounts are messed up. i dont receive notifications like im supposed to. i have to check all the forums manually, etc.

peace out ✌️✌️

You have been given an insane amount of startup advice for Eurorack over the time you have been posting on this site. You should definitely go back and read what was said by multiple people then, because that was the information about how to get started in modular that you are claiming does not exist.

check my latest post in racks. i incorporated hella advice. peace. ✌️
