Thread: Bug Report

This bug bothers me as well.
Can i suggest to completely skip any currency conversions and just have $ and € MRSP entered manually?

Actually you can do that right now.
Currency conversion is just the fallback if only one value is entered.
I need the currency conversion to get at least halfway usable results for the calculation of total rack cost.
Btw.: Converted currencies have the ≈ sign prepended and are blue, while manually entered values are black.

This Bug is known and already on my list. I thought nobody will notice that. But now I have to look into it, damn.
Also the conversion calculation is way off. It uses a hardcoded constant from times, when the Euro actually was worth anything...

Even with a real-time conversion using the latest exchange rates the prices will be off.
Especially with US modules in EU, rule of thumb is 1 to 1 conversion from $ to €.
In US modules are advertised without VAT, in Europe with VAT, add shipping and import taxes and you end up with a module listed for 299$ sold in Europe for 299€.

Bees-in-the-Trees v3.9 modified firmware for Braids is now publicly available - see http://timchurches.github.io/Mutated-Mutables/ for details. Apart from dual internal LFOs/envelopes, v3.9 adds a meta-sequencer, a complete virtual Music Thing Turing Machine implementation, quantisation of note CVs to a wide range of scales, and external CV control of many different parameters (but not all at once). Like the official Braids firmware on which it is based, Bees-in-the-Trees is completely open-source and available free-of-charge.


СТАБИЛНОСТЬ lol


I have a crazy and probably non-functional voice here. If it does work, pls let me know, that'd be great!

The question is though, is there a main output on Grids to connect to, say, a speaker, or mixer, etc? I can't figure it out, I'm too noob.

If anyone could help, that'd be great!

Ah, I hadn't realised that they could do that. I guess some manufacturers aren't too bothered about people changing the picture.

I think most of them don't know about it, although I have sent every registered manufacturer a sloppy email :)

"Hit Points". It determines the maximum health of your module. You can battle monsters to increase it. The higher it is, the crazier the sounds you can make.


Ah, I hadn't realised that they could do that. I guess some manufacturers aren't too bothered about people changing the picture.
As I said, not the end of the world, I'm just a little (probably quite a lot) ocd about things like this.
I guess if they all keep changing I could just create my own private versions... Maybe this ocd is getting out of control... :)
Thanks for getting back to me.

Cheers.


Hey, completely understand the annoyance and I am not happy with the panel graphic ping pong, either.
But just to note: I have introduced the manufacturer approval feature, where manufacturers can lock their modules from further editing. That includes panel graphics.
Olivier and the other manufacturers can do this any time ...

Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net


It's not the end of the world or owt, but I've been getting a bit pissed of by people uploading custom shots of modules and replacing the ones that the manufacturer has uploaded.

Case in point are all the Mutable modules (amongst others), most of which have got various different shots of the modules, different shading, overblown colours etc, ( that is until I've just changed the majority of them back to the original ones that Olivier uploaded. Although they are renders and not photographs these are the ones that the manufacturer wanted. And as such they look much better when they are all uniform that way.

No doubt someone else will go and change them all back, but surely there's a way of locking the image that a manufacturer uploads, and if someone wants to upload their own one then they can still do so, but it will be private.

As I say, not the end of the world, just my ocd kicking in.

I just wanted to say while I'm here that this is an absolute killer website that I spend far too much time on, thanks a million for it.

Cheers.


HP stands for horizontal pitch.
It is the width of a module.

HP on Wikipedia


Just discovered this wonderful world: 'modulAR' appx 2 wks ago, and it's like going back to when I used to build PCs for fun....in the 80s/90s and when I discovered Linux, that was a blast man as is this.

So, here goes with the clottish Q: Please define HP - what is it - a measure of width(depth/height) - all answers greatly appreciated.....


Thread: Posters?

Well, you can always print the screenshot by yourself?
The only one you can not print yourself is the ModularGrid poster of the 870 most popular modules, because it is not possible to create such big racks on MG.
Reasonable cost is an other thing, those services charge a lot for small series...

Thread: Posters?

Just a thought?

I'd quite like a poster of my rack to stick on the wall of my bedroom studio. How about modular grid team up with a poster maker outfit and offer such a service - at a reasonable cost of course!

Thread: Bug Report

i can not see patches on iPad/iphone which are on racks bigger than 5 rows. ?
-- cj3000

That is an iOS Bug, as far as I can see.

The currency for module prices seems to default automagically to USD, despite having EUR set on the user profile.
This happens quite erratically, without any particular defined pattern. Not a big thing, but you know...

Keep up the amazing work Knut!

Based strictly on the size, I'd guess $229.


anyone think it'll exceed $200?


How much might one cost? I am still looking to get started on my first eurorack, but am quite curious


I can build one for you if you are interested. Most of what I do is one off commission work, unless there is greater interest.
You can contact me through my website if you are interested. Thank you,

Anyone have any idea if this is actually gonna happen or any deets?


Look no further if you want to integrate guitar pedals (read fuzz!) or moogerfoogers into your modular. not only that, a bass or guitar can be used to trigger envelopes and gates. i have been waiting forever for something this well executed.


Thread: Noob help

ModularGrid Rack

That's what I plan on building. I'm really new and don't know if this rack would function correctly, is there anything I'm doing wrong?

BY THE WAY you have to click the picture to see the finished version for some reason


Looks amazing (as usual with MI).


WANT


I've made space for two.


Looks fantastic!


just after Bloc

so was it really this setup, it is hard to see a rene in the photo, so not sure if the other setup is accurate.


I'm guessing by the date this was modified that this is the setup used by Richard at Bloc 2015. Plus he used some other gear as seen in photos.

Tip Top Circadian Rhythm
- Cant see whats next to the tip top, but it looks like 1 or 2 more modules there.
NordDrum2
Eventide Space
Eventide ??? not sure right now, TimeFactor ? ModFactor ? PitchFactor ?


Modules are shipping now! Added an optional rear-cable routing in case you want to be able to route behind the rack.


Happy to help! :-)


Excellent Ritchie, thank you for your reply you make it much more clear for me now. :)


Actually, drum machines of that era (808, 909, Korg Electribe, etc) didn't have velocity. If you think in terms of sound design, velocity is only something you would find if you were trying to impersonate a real drum, because velocity isn't just about volume--it's about how the character of the drum sound changes depending on how hard you hit it.

The TR-909 was never intended to sound like a real drum kit, hence no velocity. However, these types of machines did have "accent" (and so does your module) in order to make the drum sound hit a little harder, usually on the first beat of each bar.

That being said, if you really want velocity, you might get something resembling velocity by patching the V/V output of your MIDI module to an envelope generator patched to a linear VCA (attenuator in this case, I would think).

The quicker and easier way to do it would be to record your drum module as audio into your DAW, just a single beat as a sample, then use your DAW's sequencer to play the sample with the patterns and velocity you're looking for.


Hello guys,

I am new to the modular world and I need some help about a question that I have. Maybe some of the audio ninjas here can enlighten me.

This is my current mini modular setup:
http://cdn.modulargrid.de/img/racks/modulargrid_164025.jpg

I am sending midi from my DAW to trigger the kicks but they all have the same velocity. Is there a way of having velocities for the kick drums?
Do I need a linear VCA like "Doepfer A-130" in order to have velocities?

Many thanks for your time..


The design has been updated significantly. We are now moving to prototyping. More details on the ishizeno.com website.


What about the MFB Dual LFO? There is a reset trigger for each LFO and it's reasonably priced (I just paid $175 for mine).


Added Disting & STO this week. 12u almost full:


Some guys just need a reality check :)


Is it me or many users here are selling used modules at a higher price than stores?


I think there should be more options availbale, but the Doepfer A147 is a solid option. It's nothing super fancy, but reliable and with all the functionality you'd expect from a VCLFO...


Ascending/Descending sortability on HP. Price too, probably.

-- TidalWaveform

Good one, put that to the list.

About patching on MG:
I would like to choose what colours are used for my patch cables (not by length as of now)!
IRL, I always colour code everything, as in all colours mean something. So much easier to follow a complex patch this way, at least for me...
-- KNYST

That would be quite an effort. The patching feature is not the most used feature of MG, so not top priority...

Thread: AUDIO KID

Hi Skimmo, thanks for your reply
I've already the A108 and the ZONE B.F , Clouds is nice for sure, but I prefer something very classic as this A108
my question are more about how to complete this mini case.
I think that the A160 can me a nice combo with the ZONE B.F, and the audio divider seems to be a very simple but funny module


Thread: AUDIO KID

Hello, if you're just starting out but you want to have a "mini cube" sized system for drones, pads & filtration, you may want to go with Mutable Instrument's Clouds & Shelves. Clouds is a "Texture Synthesizer" bit it does so many things, all very good for warping and texturing external sound sources. Shelves is an "EQ Filter" which is like a Variable state filter but a but more focused with notching and more modulation options. You might want to watch Div Kid's overview videos of these two modules together. He makes a couple of patches between Clouds & Shelves that are all-in-one drone/pad generators by themselves. Good Luck!


Thread: AUDIO KID

I just discovered the forthcoming A-160-2 module ... think I should wait a bit before to complete my actual minirack (A108 et ZONE B.F)


Thread: beater

Slow build. Switch from Sin out on DPO ch2 to Final out at some point. Vary pitches of DPO channels to create different beating patterns. Increase Phonogene input gain to create "snare." Vary reverb parameters.
