An absolute BEAST of a Drone Synth! Harsh to Soft to totally out of this World! I've been modulating mine with Sloths and letting it open up rifts into other Dimensions!

Highly recommended!

im thinking about the same. maybe check out erica synths link. that could work. also doepfer has one but one with 2 outs that would ge a little expensive and would take a lot of rack space too.

Having 16 guitar cables snaked out of a rack seems problematic.
That's a lot of weight pulling on a module or two and probably why you havn't found one yet.
The Mazzatron module pushes the 1/4s out the back or the module.
I don't know how that could work very well.
I know you've got a plan, but you might be forced into having submixes.

Sorry for inconvenient.

Thank you.

Current setup: Middle-bottom row. I have Poti 1 and Batumi 1.

I've seen the new Batumi 2 and it would definitely be an addition, if for nothing other than having 4 more Oscillators. But the Poti 2 is an additional HP in width.

My quesions:
Maybe I get rid of the Konstant power 1 HP module, Keep the current modules or get rid of the Poti 2 and find something else to fill 4 HP?

Hi Progspiration, thanks for the advice. I will definitely take your advice into consideration. I didn't mention that outside the case I have a 0-coast and a moog mavis, and I use bitwig as a daw. Thank you!

Ahh yeah, good oldfashioned email or a simple website.

Howdy!

Absolutely nothing wrong with this system, this looks like an excellent complement to the System Cartesian. The only thing that could be wrong is if you're patching with it and feel like you're missing something. I personally would want another source of modulation or two, as all of your sound sources and effects are super fun when modulated. Given the sound sources you have I'd say to either drop the Doepfer mixer and keep the LXD/ModDeMix combo (or vice versa) and fill the gap with extra LFOs or envelopes. Something like the Mutable Peaks is very versatile (a clone would be most cost effective), or depending on how you're patching the Ochd + expander could fit. If you want to keep in the Make Noise family, the new multimod could be a great way to generate a bunch of modulation on its own or manipulate the existing sources in Maths and Wogglebug.

Cheers and happy patching!

Hello,
I have issues I am trying to find a format converter that takes modular 1/8 to 1/4. I need 16 channels to my mixer. So something that has 8 channels would be nice. So people that are using out board mixers in their setup how are you connecting this up?
Jason
So, after looking at around 2,000 modules I found this brand Mazzatron. So, 8 hp with 8 jacks of 1/8 to 1/4.

Hello everyone, I have 2 makenoise skiffs, the first skiff is a complete Make Noise system cartesian, the second skiff is the one in the post. What do you think? Do you think it is complete enough or is there something wrong? Thanks

...Small businesses can't limit their advertising potential by sacking off these terrible platforms. ...
-- wishbonebrewery

This doesn’t seem to be about advertising on these platforms, but rather that purchasing modules from "Signs Modular" is only possible by contacting them via Instagram or X.

Personally, I also believe there should be an alternative way to get in touch, so that people don’t have to create an account on these morally and socially questionable platforms just to initiate a module purchase.

Being a business owner I know what the social media landscape is like. Small businesses can't limit their advertising potential by sacking off these terrible platforms. Reading our website stats its very clear that lots have stopped posting on social media but people are still looking at it and that still helps drive sales.

So however nice and politically correct it would be to ditch all the horror socials, for a business its not really an option just yet.
If everyone moves to Bluesky it helps and there is more engegement on there than Twitter now.
Everything my business does is to spread across all platforms then we let natural selection take effect, Threads is dead, activity on Twitter(Bot central) is pathetic along with Instagram. Facebook is still engegement to direct customers.

My ethics say close all the accounts, its just not an option in this modern world, I expect lots of small businesses to feel the same.

Can you keep politics out of modulargrid please. Next time you will be reported. Thanks.

Thanks!!

Please Mr Klavis,
just make a new version MK2 (+ 6hp expander) of this beauty with 4 or more cv input (16 will be perfect 1 cv by stage and by canal)
+ 4 out "end of rise" trigger + 4 out "end of cycle" trigger
and just take my money :)

Absolutely brilliant, thank you!

This video explores a unique random sequencer from 1974, which I found in the University of Iowa’s famous Electronic Music Studio. It then shows you how to recreate it using modern gear such as Make Noise’s 0-Ctrl (ordinary Eurorack sequencers will work too).
Detailed patch notes in the video:

I never met Paul but we were Facebook friends. When I heard that he had passed away, it hit me hard.
Today I have uploaded a banner graphic to the Synthesis Technology manufacturer page.
Synthesis Technology was the second company ever created on MG and the E350 is the module with a single digit Id because it was my first oscillator.

I am not sure about fixing the E352 in the list because that would be technical complicated and somewhat misleading but I think about some other way to keep up the memory.

Well, shiiiit. If this is Ansome, I’d love to get ahold of a BNE Cascading FET Amp but the website is down. HMU if you’ve got any to spare!

This 2hp Blank Panel changed my life!

A soft clipping, “not boring” 3 input mixer from ThreeTom.
Very easy kit, mostly surface mount pre-installed.
Switch for linear, drive, and limiting mixing.
And a good mixer with lots of LED action to brighten your skiff at the club!
Not much more to say, it’s a fine mixer.

Build

I much prefer the jack layout of the previous versions, easier access to the pots for obstruction free mixing.

The Synthesis Technology e352 is currently 100 in the top 100 list on modular grid. I think it should have that position permanently as a tribute to all Paul gave to modular synthesis. Can @Modulargrid please consider this request sort of like a hollywood walk of fame star for Paul. Considering all his innovative work he definitely deserves it. thanks

Looks great! How are you using the orion in this setup?

@sweevo do you get things sorted ?

only a few days in = happens.
someone not being responsive for a few
days is all fine.

please let us know and best of luck
-- Slim

Yes, all sorted. In fairness he got back to me pretty soon after i posted and said he would ship first thing this morning which he did. He also provided me with shipping tracking details. Really realived. I had a bad experience a few years ago with someone on ebay and it's really made me paronid/nervous, especially when you pay by paypal F&F.!

They're exceptionally made, and panel thickness hasn't been noticeable,
but for a little more ($20 more at Perfect Circuit right now), I'd go with their QAM Active mult.

EDITED Mar 23rd, 20:56

I have a Moog Spectravox in the rack, and it's taking up a ton of room, but it earns its keep.

An additional note about my previous posts, regarding user @sugarfreedaddy

I want to state here that my problem with him is now solved.
He was unable to send me the module that I purchased, and he was unable to refund me.
I offered that he sends me other modules for a similar value. He did, which means that, I don't really understand how or why, he was in a problematic situation, but in the end he did not scam me.

Happy modular everyone :)
-- Slim

I wish i read this a week ago. I bought a module earlier in the week from @sugarfreedaddy and since then he has not responded to say he received payment or that the module has been shipped. I hope he isn't scamming me but having read about your experience i'm not feeling too confident.

Smart transaction with @manikin

Thanks for the input. The Dixie II was always on my "watched" items for modular.
Its size, price and wave types are mainly what I am after I suppose although these are my first ventures into the OSC sync world :)
I will have a look at the Cycle 5 for its variwave attribute.
Thanks for taking the time, much appreciated.
Best,
L

Dixie II would be excellent imo and a hard one to beat in that size. Depending on the type of sync that might appeal to you, another attractive optipn would be the Joranalogue Cycle 5 for the variwave. I think if you want a VCO that could also take on normal LFO duties, the Dixie II is more suited for that. At least, it would be for me. I prefer sync over reset for keeping a waveform in cycle how I want it.

Good stuff.

Musikalische Wurfelspiel! :D

Addac's latest module, the Stochastic Voltage Generator, has inspired me to delve into the eccentric history of stochastic (or aleatory or chance) music, from Mozart to Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Morton Feldman, and Iannis Xenakis -- and from Buchla, Moog, and Arp to Eurorack. The accompanying patch is inspired by Feldman's graphic scores (especially the early "Projections" scores).

Thanks Zacksname,

I could fit this matrix mixer :)
https://modulargrid.net/e/ai-synthesis-ai008-eurorack-matrix-mixer

Watched a couple of videos about matrix mixers. It's a great tool indeed to distribute modulation. And would save me some attenuators at the same time. Love it. Honestly had never really thought about it that way. I usually plug mimetic or an LFO into the targetted cv input through Quadratt and that's it.

Since you have ths FX Aid, you may also like Happy Nerding's 3xMIA and 3xVCA. If a matrix mixer (which is actually a great tool in Eurorack because you can use it to mix, route, and reroute CV for lots of detailed transitions) is too big to fit in, this may also give you some good modulation mixing/changing options. For the 3xVCA, one thing I like other than the attenuator for the input CV is the switches you can use to send the output of a channel to the next channel, allowing you to easily multiply or mix signals together at the literal flick of a switch. Simple utilities, but super playable and really useful.

Hey! Thanks for the notes.

Yes I tend to like mults cause I don't use stackables or out of case mults. I use tendrils as I don't patch/unpatch much and it helps for playability. Maybe 5 is a bit much though :)

Gonna look into you suggestions. Never used a Matrix mixer. Thought it was mainly useful to facilitate effects routing and the mixer has effects sends so I didn't give it much thought.

Switched multiples I could use to facilitate certain transitions, alternate between sounds etc. And I could most certainly use more attenuverters and envelopes.

Will see what I can fit in.

The voices etc look good bu I think modulation and playability is worth improving.
- A matrix mixer for CV
- Switched multiples
- A bunch of attenuverters
- Tetrapad or a couple of Gliss.
- More envelope generators

Do you really want 5 basic mults?

Hi, this is my set from Modular World Ep. 48. So much fun. I continue to love the BeatStep Pro after all these years. I keep telling myself I am going to make a non-melodic track, but I always fail this assignment:

Could be someone be so kind to help me if this system makes sense? Thank You
-- MX___

Sure! Your system technically may makes sense... but only in the same way that a house made entirely of cardboard technically provides shelter.

Behringer modules will make sound, sure, but their business model is basically "copy & undercut," which isn’t exactly what the Eurorack spirit is about. If you’re okay with that, go for it! But if you want to support innovation, independent creators, and long-term quality, you might want to mix in some non-Behringer modules.

TL;DR: It’ll work, but you might wake up one day and realize your entire rack is just a cheap clone of someone else’s hard work. 😉

Hello!

Hesitant on what to do with remaining 22hp.

I was thinking of Virt iter legio + Ghost as it would allow me to vary the sounds (virt can sound like an organ), and Ghost comes with a few cool features (sidechain, a big filter knob!). but there´s already a ton of sonic possibilities with Ultra-kick, BIA, Tymp and the dual oscillator.

What would you suggest I fill the gap with?

I tend to make minimalist repetitive dubish electronic music (think Surgeon or Colin Benders but slower with a ton of bass).

I usually go for no-menu immediately playable modules.

Thanks!

Hi,

Does anyone has a clue how to connect this to the case? there's apparently no socket for the power and the manual does not say any. I've tried seraching aroud but i've not found anything usefull.
-- sntelectronics

I don't own one, but the picture on the Thomann website seems to show it:
https://bdbo2.thomann.de/thumb/bdb3000/pics/bdbo/9783218.jpg

I'm 99% sure that the long horizontal cable is the power connector (16-pin plug with a 10-pin cable).

EDIT
on https://doepfer.de/a155.htm there is a similar image that shows the power connector

I think this video might be helpful if you are learning about FM.

This is what I went with in the end.

Out of the rack, there's the Beatstep Pro, the Thyme, and a Po-12. Vortices is a bit profligate of HP but I always wanted one so I went for it.

When I was just about finished I realised that I did not have enough power headers for all these modules, so I had to swap out my attenuverters for a passive 3xATT from ph modular (who I recommend very strongly!)

Now just to see if I can get this bad boy past airport security!
