The metropolis is very nice and interesting indeed, but I would like to have hands on single 16, or more, step for sequences (8 steps would be nice just for the cv). The pressure point array is also very interesting too but again, is 3x8 only it would awesome to have also the option of 1x16 + 1x8 or 1x24 .
The space it's also a problem, for the sequencer I've planned something about 34hp, if it's worth I can sacrifice some utility modules and find some more space but not more than 2-4 hp...
The external sequencer it's a good option too, the beat step pro looks amazing! and in case I would also have space for other modules (SYNTHESIZER BOX from Pittsburgh Modular would fit lovely!).
Any other suggestion?
you might wann check dis one out: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/mengqimusic-voltage-memory
i guess most people use external cv sequencers like arturia beatstep, doepfer maq16/dark time, korg sq1, ...
my personal favorite is futureretro orb
Thanks to @AThousandDetails, @daviskeithdavis, @modezart for recent transactions. All well-packaged and great communication with tracking, timely delivery. Loving all the modules.
It's easy to use and make noise make useful videos on youtube with tips. and what about brains+pressure points? i have it too and it is very cool, 3x8 combination with a few options to play with, check out this:
Oh! I didn't think about that earlier!
But 8 step it's not enough for me.
What about rené? Is it difficoult to use? Does it fits well in a live situation?
Hi guys!
I'm about to purchase a sequencer for my rack. I would need that to sequence mainly cv and some sequence (no drum sequencing) and I ned some help choosing the right one.
Right now I'm choosing between those modules:
-Make Noise René
-Audio Damage ADM06 Sequencer 1
-Verbos Electronics Voltage Multistage
-Tip Top Trigger Riot
-Tip Top Z8000
And in case of the Tip Tops, something to generate trigger?
@tritata
Just wanted to say thank you for a speedy, smooth and satisfying transaction.
Extra thanks for the bits that were not in the deal initially :-)

For 3hp, this is incredibly useful as both a sound source and a utility.
As an oscillator, it's a pretty straightforward sine wave, although the quantization switch is a nice afterthought. It only quantizes to 12-tone equal temperament, but what do you expect from something 3hp, anyways?
The slider action is smooth enough for its purposes, and I have yet to have any issues with it.
LFO mode gives you more or less the same function as VCO mode, except in the sub-audio range.
My only complaint with this module is that when in CV mode, the input port is disabled. This would have been a great chance to use the module as an offset generator, or even a quantizer. It comes off to me as a lost opportunity to really take this module to 11.
Still, at about $130 and 3hp, you can hardly go wrong.
Just make sure you have some +5v running to it...
If this module were simply five euclidean sequencers, it would be a damn solid module and an easy four stars. Instead, each channel can be used as a euclidean sequencer, clock divider, flop gate, multiplier, trigger repeater, clock source, or probability matrix— all for under $200! It's a veritable swiss army knife of clock and trigger tools, and complete with a sexy wood panel!
I'm normally not a fan of modules with menu systems ("If I want menus, I'll use a damn softsynth!") but the minimalistic presentation of the menu system for this module is completely unobtrusive to my normal workflow, and they even bundle a handy little cheat sheet that tells you the knob function for each mode. (I keep it taped to the base of my rack for easy reference.)
It features two clock inputs— one going to three output channels, and another going to two. You can also use the first input to clock all channels and use the Probability knob to add a little randomness to the latter two channels- or not. It's amazing the versatility you get from 6hp.
I bought this along with the Bastl GrandPa, expecting that I would be getting more use out of the GrandPa, but am finding the opposite to be true. I've had this module for two weeks, and can already hardly imagine a patch without it.
Post-Honeymoon edit: So I still really like this module and would probably never be without it, but I lately find myself wishing it had a Trigger Reset input— though I don't know where they'd put it since everything is so close together within 6HP. Oh well, I'd still highly recommend it.
It's good, but definitely needs some distortion or something after it. It does make that PE sound for sure, but it's a bit flat. Stick a Noise swash or something after it and it starts blasting.
Three position switch is cool, bottom most goes from a sine wave to harsh noise, so that's neat.
And using the CV inputs you can actually use it as a really harsh distortion itself
Apparently, submission for new modules seems to be limited to 104 HP, which is the usual maximum width for racks most mortals have. However the case/utility collection below exceeds that, going up to 120 HP: http://monome.org/isms/
This was my only BD module for a few months. I have read a few reviews from people who don't like it in comparison to the original 909, that its not punchy enough or such.
I really like the BD909.
As it has a very wide sonic character it lends itself very well to further modulation and mangling. Saturating or overdriving it with a VCA gives very varied results. If said VCA is controled by an snappy envelope in time with the beat you really start getting somewhere.
I feel it really shines when paired with a resonant filter, hp lp bp all give different results.
I like the dry sound of it also, but if you have not fallen in love with the BD909 try treating in like an oscillator and not an end of the line module.
Bought am module from @monokompatibel, it arrived fast and in very good condition. Sadly the module broke after a short time - surely not his or my fault, must have been a manufacturing defect. It was no problem to send it back and let him handle the warranty process with the original seller. Fast, pleasant and dedicated Trader. Big recommendation!
That's not what "frequency divider" means. In general it seems like a bit of a problem if users can't edit tags on manufacturer-approved modules, e.g. if new tags are added to the system.
All the modules you buy will ship with the neccessary connector cables.mutable instuments volts adaptor should provide you with enough 5v current to operate whatever modules you need.be sure to jumper it if you are using two busboards.
Added Malekko Wiard Boogie Filter & Erica Synths Polivoks VCF today :) Also, Elements. And recorded a "getting to know you" session. Just makin some noise:
I've been tinkering w synths since I was around 14 (playing w FLStudio's Wasp VST) and right now have an Arturia Minibrute and a Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 (4 Pole Mission, pre-built)
I've been interested in modular synths since I started learning about synthesis in high school (I'm 29 now btw) and have wanted to build a Eurorack system for years now. I have this long term plan to build a Eurorack system based on 3 Happy Ending kits, I would like some feedback on the rack I've designed here
I kind of think right now that the amount of sound generators is overkill, and kinda shows that my favorite aspect of sound design is just messing around w a large variety of tones (I love spectral music but also just loove sweeping waveguides/wavetables)
I don't know what sorta logic/clock/sequencing etc modules I need to get the sounds that I want to make (emphasis on melodic/harmonic ideas w a lot of timbral variety, wanna avoid shotgun effects or anything overly bleepbloop I suppose) so I'd like some feedback on that in particular
Hello forum. I have started planning my first Eurorack, using the low cost Doepfer rack with its standard integrated power supply. As I was looking at the FAQ of Doepfer's website, it specifies that certain modules like the A-191 MIDI interface require additional 5v in addition to the regular +/-12v.
My question is, as I have little knowledge about electronics in general; do I need to buy something extra (like a cable or a different power supply) when I get this module? And how is this extra power connected? Is it an additional jumper of some sort?
Also, when buying modules in general, do they come with required cables to connect them to the bus board, or do I need to buy a ribbon cable for each module I get?
There really isn't. A cv panning mixer requires LOTS of internal vcas. And to do that while keeping sound clean, avoiding crosstalk, etc takes a lot of work. The L-1 at least is available as DIY. Even the new verbos mini mixer with cv panning is still $400.
I have an Intellijel Dubmix for this and it's quite amazing.
Im building a performance box full of joysticks and controllers for live use. I need a 4 channel pannable mixer. Does anyone have any ideas? They all seem to be so desperately expensive (such as the lovely http://l-1.su/StereoMixer.html). I was wondering if someone had any ideas on a cheaper but solid alternative?
Just bought a MCVP for @AThousandDetails ... great person to purchase from: the module arrived in fantastic condition, well wrapped and in a proper shipping box. Also, all communications and shipping where really prompt. A great seller. Recommended.
Hi!
I'm looking for a dual modular suitcase (12 u), lovely would be a 104 or 114 hp, something well built, cheap, (skiff friendly maybe) and light to carry around, am I asking too much?
Do you have any case to recommend?
I saw the Gorilla case, but those are a bit more expensive than what I would like to.
I just started working for CircuitHub.com today, and I wonder if there is any interest in adding the ability to have CircuitHub links for modules. To give you an example, I've taken the schematics for Clouds and uploaded it to CircuitHub:
CircuitHub gives you the ability to easily navigate the schematics, view component placements, and also actually get the hardware manufactured. It might be an interesting way to share the Open Hardware aspect that some manufacturers are following.
No choice but to finally enter the modular world, as my first Mother-32 is enroute. Don't want to hog Moog's 3-tier system with all Moog, so planning to bring in some digital/wavetable voices. Now i just have to figure out how to put Eurorack power into a Moog 60 HP Eurorack Case.
I just discovered the new(?) 1U feature, which is really nice. And timely, as I just finished my new rack with 1U spaces. However it is a 7 row rack with 4 3Us and 1Us in between. Modular Grid does not seem to be happy with this. Any way it can be expanded?
