Hi Baltergeist,

Nice to hear from you again, straight away with two great tracks! :-) I love your experimental touch towards your music, it's always exciting to listen at your music and the creativity you are putting into your tracks is just fantastic :-D

Two different tracks, but both have much to love for. Thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Seanmonaghan,

Oh wow, sounds great your music! Kind of film music with a bit of a touch of a mixture between modern Isao Tomita and Philip Glass. He, he, and you got yourself a cute small mini-Eurorack ;-)

Thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gabor,

Nice video! Has this been filmed from an AVE train? The train goes even that fast that you go up-side-down ;-)

Video and music goes well together, nice work here :-) Thanks a lot for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi TumeniKnobs,

Thanks a lot for your details on the Subsequent 37. Pity that the presets seem not to fit however glad to hear that the rest of it sounds great :-) Full size keys... oh-ooooh, another thing on my ever growing wish list ;-) Thank you and kind regards, Garfield.

Hello Everyone,

Is anyone of you going this year to the Superbooth? I finally decide to go and bought the tickets online and booked a hotel in Berlin. I will be there on Thursday and Friday, the late afternoons and most likely the evenings. You can recognise me by wearing a Garfield T-shirt if the weather isn't too cold.

Is it a nice idea to meet a few of us here on modulargrid.net in real, at the Superbooth talk about our fantastic hobby? :-)

If you prefer more a one to one meeting, just send me a private message and we will take it from there. I hope to meet you in Berlin and I look forward to my very first visit to the Superbooth, yeah! :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

So you pick a type and the corresponding CV output(s) and it will be added to the user interface as a track. For example I'm currently working on a type that will mimic the (sequencer) interface of DFAM which I really liked.

Hi Mudi,

That sounds indeed very interesting. Also if it only would be a "few" lines of code to add some sampler functionality that makes it (very) attractive as well I think. That might go perhaps a bit into the style of Elektron, for example the Octatrack.

Okay, good luck with the PoC. Once you have finished your PoC and you decide to continue this, then it would be nice to hear from you again with hopefully interesting details :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Steve,

That's a great combination, your Eurorack with that Moog Subsequent 37, what a sound! :-)

Are you happy with the Subsequent 37, I was thinking of that synth too, just wondering, does it has mini keys or full synth keys?

Thank you very much, have a nice Sunday and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Mudi,

It's certainly an interesting concept you have there. "Writing" that line as a modulator is the main benefit in this demo I guess :-) In your demo I see only two voices right? So how many voices would be maximum possible? Is ratcheting possible? Is there a step editor for the (fine) adjustments? How many steps are maximum possible? Can each voice have their own step-length? Is backwards possible and random and ping-pong, etcetera (on a per voice basis)?

It's difficult to have an opinion on something where I still have so many questions ;-) What you could do for example is to download all the manuals of the main/major sequencers, like Erica Synths Black Sequencer and Erica Synths Drum Sequencer, Five12 Vector & Jack Expander, endorphin.es Ground Control, Frap Tools USTA, IME Stillson Hammer, Intellijel Metropolix, Make Noise René 2, Malekko Heavy Industry Varigate 8+, Squarp Hermod, Winter Modular Eloquencer, WMD Metron + extension modules and XOR-Electronics Nerdseq, just to name a few famous and most used sequencers; but there are many more.

For a list of medium and large sequencers please check out this website:

https://doudoroff.com/sequencers/

So you can compare the specifications of your sequencer against those already launched on the market. Perhaps a few functionalities you might not have covered yet? Once you covered all the functionality of those main sequencers, then your sequencer becomes extremely interesting :-) But is that feasible, I am not sure? I have thought myself of perhaps in the future building a sequencer as well however to cover all the functionality, hence to beat the competitors on all levels, might be close to impossible since there are several different types of sequencers that might be not easy to let them co-exist. For details see that above mentioned website that really provides a lot of information on sequencers.

For my own modular synthesizer I would prefer a module on its own (extension modules are totally acceptable), without the need of another controller, computer, tablet, smartphone or iPad, but that might be just me. But if it comes with a small module in Eurorack and an external controller (like your solution), then I would prefer a wired solution (not wireless like WiFi) for stability as well as for less interference in my studio setup.

Please keep us updated on how your project goes and perhaps you can share a website with us where we can find the details? Thank you very much and kind regards, Garfield.

Edit: removed typo and added one other little requirement ;-)

Thank you Fastus and you are welcome :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Steve,

Interesting module indeed, the way you explain it... oh dear... yet another module added to my long wish list ;-)

Thank you and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Fastus,

Oh wow! Those are fantastic effects with a serious beautiful sound to it, each of those effects. I had a look here in Germany what that module costs... it's a fortune here at almost 900 bucks, 900 Euro-bucks... :-(

Time to win the lottery and get one! ;-) Thanks a lot for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Steve,

Those nice sounds (main voice(s)) do they come from the Akemie's Castle module? 38 HP is quite a bit and wondering if this module is worth it, is it?

Nice work here and thank you very much, kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Cmb_ and Sacguy71,

Thank you both!

Cmb_: Ha, ha, that's a good one! :-) So the "you can never have enough effects" is the new slogan then ;-)

Sacguy71: He, he, fair enough (regarding a video), it's just that I am still busy with fine tuning my new studio setup, struggling at the moment with absorbers and diffusers to fine tune the sound in my studio. Since it's in the basement it isn't that easy, the ceiling is, I am afraid, too low and I might need to do something about the ceiling. Another thing bothering me is the bass sound, I set the bass config on the monitors already to the lowest value (the monitors are standing very close to the wall, no choice because there isn't enough space) and I still feel it sounds too heavy or am I being over-sensitive here? Well, I have to admit that those low frequencies sounds (those below, let's say 60 Hz) from the here above Doepfer Meets Dixie jam sounded pretty cool on my monitors (till 35 Hz), better than on my HiFi speakers (till about 50 Hz).

Once I am totally happy with my studio setup (will that ever by the case? ;-) ) and get used to what is exactly where, then I might slowly think about how to position a few cameras to see if it makes sense to start YouTube films but till then, I think this will take a long time if I am going to do videos at all, still not sure about that.

By the way, glad to hear from you again, long time didn't see any posts from you. Having said that, I also didn't see for some time any stuff coming from you, Cmb_ :-)

So I hope, you both will release soon some cool jams, can't wait to listen at them and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Igor,

Thanks for the hint, I didn't know Juno yet. I need to check regarding Brexit what the import taxes and consequences are, it looks like Juno's website already indicates that so it seems pretty transparent to me, which is great. Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Igor,

Oh this is fantastic! Congratulations on your first solo album! Hopefully many will follow in the future :-)

Pity that I live in Germany, I am not daring to take the risk of shipping a vinyl over such large distance. Let's hope you are able soon to sell via Amazon.de too ;-)

Thanks a lot for sharing this with you and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi TumeniKnobs and Gworn,

Thank you both! Ha, ha, yeah, with this track I just couldn't control myself and used tons of effects. Being subtle is sometimes nice but doing the opposite is nice too! ;-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi TumeniKnobs,

Indeed beautifully done, how that sound of those cicadas fit so nicely into your music, weaved together as if they are one! Even that squadron of planes is really subtle and nicely merged into your track. When did you said your next concert is going to be here in Germany? ;-)

Can't wait for your next track, this is a real great treat, you made my Wednesday wonderful! Thank you very much and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gworn,

Nice video! Great Werkstatt and modular jam, this gives me some appetite for the Werkstatt :-)

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Steve,

Great nice little track. I am going to hit the play button another 5 times to get me the 17+ minutes ;-)

It has a nice lively feeling to it, as if this was taking from a live jam, was it? Great work and kind regards, Garfield.

Thank you Steve!

Hi Farkas and Wishbonebrewery,

Thank you both very much :-)

Yeah, I love sweeping oscillator sounds and that here in combination with the mono input and stereo ping/pong output of the Grand Canyon delay from Electro-Harmonix.

Ha, ha, well recognised, the Dixie has been indeed "sequenced" by channel 1 from Sinfonion. I just used an old setting from one of my previous demos and used that for this demo, still being lazy ;-) I am writing here "sequenced" between double-quotes because it's actually not really sequencing... the Sinfonion only supports chord sequencing (that could be seen as channel 4) not the other channels (1 till 3) "normal" voice channels. I am using here a normal voice channel (channel 1). The input is from a slow LFO (E355 from Synthesis Technology, interesting dual LFO by the way) if I remember well, that LFO input uses Sinfonion then to control channel 1 or rather to "decide" which notes to play on channel 1 here just set to C major.

Indeed, the Ventris Dual Reverb has a serious and lovely sound and quality to it. In this demo I use it very strongly however you can use it in a much subtler way than here in this demo and actually it sounds then extremely good. You can check out this YouTube link:

Nick from Sonic Lab uses here the Arturia MiniBrute 2 in combination with Source Audio - Ventris Dual Reverb, here you really can hear the good sound of the Ventris. This video provided me weak knees and caused me to buy the Ventris. I am not regretting it at all! :-)

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hello All,

Please find in the below link my first recording from my new studio setup. I was testing some Doepfer modules as well as I was testing the Intellijel Dixie 2+ module. 1 + 1 = Doepfer Meets Dixie ;-)

The Dixie 2+ can be heard in about the first 40 seconds, followed then by some 'stuff' from the Doepfer A-110-1 module with some supporting modules.

Strange this MP3 version on Soundcloud does have a few irritating clicks/ticks that were not there in the master wav file... weird... I have no explanation for that. Even at home the MP3 version seems to be all right... Hmm... also on other performers hearing clicks, perhaps Soundcloud have currently some issues, no idea, let's hope this is just temporarily.

Used external effects here: Delay (Electro-Harmonix Grand Canyon), Reverb (Source Audio Ventris Dual Reverb), Leslie (Neo Instruments Ventilator II) and some mild compression and touch up by SPL (Stereo Vitalizer Mk2-T).

Thank you very much for listening and kind regards, Garfield.

Edit: Improvement on the above text and adding details on the effects.

Hi Farkas,

He, he, I am hesitating about the Drum 3P, I have zero experience with drums. On the other hand it's tempting... if I am going to get one, I need to get some kind of experience with it first, then, once I can produce some sounds out of it, will demo it here. Let's see how that goes :-)

Regarding the VC340, pity the keys aren't of good quality, once I visit my local dealer again, I hope they have this one for testing purposes available so I can test it before I might want to buy it. Have a good start of the week and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Wisbonebrewery,

Thanks a lot for the details of your patch, interesting! Can't wait for your next jam :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Anubiz,

That's a great video with nice lighting! Thanks a lot for sharing this and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Farkas,

Are you crazy? ;-) This is totally my thing, sounds great, he, he, indeed a bit of Depeche Mode feeling here but that's totally fine, I love this jam. Nicely done! What I admire is that you are able to cover "several areas of music styles" and that capability shines through here. I am glad this time it ain't Techno ;-)

It's also nice you remembered that I mentioned the Behringer VC340, coincidentally I was thinking last night about that one again. After this jam, I am going to put up the priority of the VC340 in my wish list, slowly it's about time. One other thing I like to consider/get before I go for the VC340, which is the drum synthesizer Drum 3P from Clavia Nord. Any chance you got that one and can demo it in one of your jams? ;-)

The usage, near the end of the jam, of the VC340 is very nice, very subtle, great! :-) Gives me a good appetite for this vocoder.

Thank you very much for this great jam, I hope to hear more from your vocoder and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Wishbonebrewery,

This is a lovely jam, that synthesizer sound you got here is just beautiful! How did you manage to get a beautiful sound like that?

Ha, ha, around 7:50 there was a little glitch ;-) But nicely repaired and you got out strong there, lovely!

Great stuff and good work here, thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Ryan the Gecko,

Oh, this is a nice jam! Ha, ha, I had to smile when I heard those funny sounds just before 3:00, good stuff. Some of your percussion is pretty loud compared to the rest, otherwise this is a great piece of work! The pluck sounds are great too! Pity one can't see your Eurorack modules in the video, would be nice to see those too.

Thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Farkas,

I have some "sad" news, I am afraid my Doepfer - A-103 module doesn't work :-( There barely comes any sound out of it, if I unnaturally high amplify the output then I hear a bit however when I then turn the frequency knob I don't get much results other than a bit of a cracking sound. Sounds to me that this module doesn't work... So I need more time to investigate this properly.

Since I saw you also mentioned the SEM filter from Doepfer in another post, instead of reviewing the A-103, I will make a review report of the Doepfer - A-106-5 SE SEM filter module. I hope to have that ready by (end of) September. Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Mowse,

Oh yes, very nice! :-) The first half minute or so, I immediately had to think of the good old Tangerine Dream when I heard this music, after that you turned it into pure your lovely music; with both I can live and enjoy it :-)

Nice to hear from you again and I don't mind to hear more of it, thank you very much and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi JB61264, Eexee and JimHowell1970,

I am glad it works now :-) Nothing more disappointing as a module that might not work, thus so glad that you managed to get it work the way you want & need it!

Yes, I agree here with Jim, Doepfer modules are good and because most of the modules are so "pure" it's indeed, Eexee, good for starters and for a good learning curve however also for when you are beyond the starting experience. Their utility modules are pleasure pure to use and usually easy to understand.

I also agree though on the sometimes poor documentation. The older modules of Doepfer were actually good documented in both German and English, though indeed the English translation might not always be perfect in most cases it's good enough to get you going. Though I can read and understand both languages, I always start to read the English version first since I believe all (electronically and computer related) documentation should be world wide in English only (and no, my mother tongue is definitely not English related), but that's just my humble opinion as a technical guy. Only if I don't understand the English explanation, I check the German explanation to see if something got lost in translation, which is sometimes the case but not always. I found even for one or two modules (can't remember which one that were) where the English manual provided more interesting information than the German one. Recently for many newer Doepfer modules, I come to realise that the documentation gets of poorer quality or it's just not existing as JB discovered already for the A-140-2. That's a real pity indeed.

JB, for the A-140-2, you can indeed rely on the A-140-1 documentation, the principles are the same and after having read that, you will realise that the A-140-2 works pretty much in the same way however I agree, each module should have their own complete module manual.

Have fun with modular and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Anubiz,

He, he, indeed a very nice sweetener for this lovely weekend, thanks to you :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Nickgreenberg,

Since you are looking for rather chaos modules and less for random modules then have a look into Make Noise's Wogglebug and Telharmonic modules as well. They can be total chaos and with a bit luck, sometimes, you can manage to get something reasonable out of it, but if you want just chaos they serve that purpose pretty well is my experience :-)

Another "beauty" if it comes to unorganised chaos is the Erica Synths - Black Octasource, that's a chaotic LFO pure! But semi-organised if you like otherwise just leave it completely up to Octasource itself to get totally bananas, I love this module. It needs a bit time to learn and understand this psycho (module) but I love it.

Have fun with all that chaos and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi JB61264,

For a test, what you could do is, set all A, D, S & R knobs to for example a small value, let's say at 2 but not at zero, please! As Catwavez already mentioned, make sure you provide a gate signal to the gate input and then for example connect the out of that ADSR to the CV input of a VCA. If you have a Doepfer A-130-1 or A-131-1 then connect it for the sake of keeping the test simple to the CV1 input.

Then feed the VCA with some music, try to keep the rhythm of the music and the gate signal you sending to the ADSR in about the same tempo and then you should hear something coming out of your VCA. Once that works, try to play with the ADSR knobs and you should get some results.

Make sure that the gate signal that you feed into the A-140-2 isn't too extremely fast. For the sake of this test purpose provide a rather slow gate and then test it. Once you can confirm the ADSR works, you can increase up the gate speed of your preference. Note that Doepfer ADSRs (at least the A-140-1 that I have) can't cope with extremely fast gates.

If you are looking for a nice snappy EG (that can handle fast gates) then consider the Hikari Instruments - Triple AD as a second EG and use your Doepfer dual ADSR for the more slower gate stuff. I am not saying that Doepfer can't handle fast gates, it can but perhaps not at super speed (if that's what you are looking for). At "super" speed, the LEDs might not lit up. At extreme low ADSR knob settings the LEDs might not lit up either hence my advice to start with a slow gate first and all knobs set to two (2) for example.

Good luck with the troubleshooting and I hope you can manage to get your dual ADSR work. Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Ludwig van Beethoven,

It's great to have you back here under us, earthlings, I thought you left us back there in 1827 ;-)

Regarding your question... there are tons of modules that can do PWM. Just look for any VCO that has a pulse/square output and most of such modules have a PWM knob and then again most of them have a CV input for that too. There are so many of them that's close to impossible to list them all here.

Just have a look at Doepfer A-11x modules many of them have PWM. Like the A-110-1 for example. Rubicon2 from Intellijel has it in all kind of sorts and ways, even the Dixie II+ from the same Canadian club is able to do just that.

The Erica Synths - Black VCO 2 is able to do PMW too. As well as the ACL - Variable Sync VCO and there are many more of them, these are the first ones that come to my mind. Whatever module you are going to choose, my advice is to look for at least a module that has PMW knob as well as a CV input for PMW.

I am an admirer of symphonies and of course of your symphonies too! I therefore look forward to your next new symphony, I hope you don't let us wait too long before you are going to release and please us with a new symphony? Can't wait for it and perhaps you can demonstrate it on your Eurorack? :-)

Welcome back here in this new world where it is nowadays much about electronics, Eurorack fits in there pretty well and I am sure a new symphony of yours would fit in the world of electronic music. It would be an honour for me to listen at it! Thank you very much in advance for that and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Anubiz,

Yes, great work and only done in 10 hours? That's unbelievable fast! You had the MIDI notes already somewhere ready I assume? Still, very fast, I think I would need 1000 hours but most likely longer ;-)

Did I heard this correctly and did I recognise some Isao Tomita influences here? Nicely done and I do think this is a nice piece of electronic work of the Bolero :-)

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Igor,

Great! Can't wait for your first solo album, please keep us updated about it :-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Steve,

Oh that's a great track, it's nice relaxing to listen at. Are you going to add that to your After Beach Acid album or is this a stand alone track?

The track itself could be much longer, it stops far too early! How about your own 17+ minutes rule? ;-)

Great work and thank you very much for sharing this with us, kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Igor,

Oh wow, that's nice and so nice relaxing, so beautiful to listen at. How do you manage to make your music on one hand so nice subtle yet so intriguing? :-)

This is a great piece of work as well as this is a nice demo of the BitBox Micro, thanks a lot for that and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi TuminiKnobs,

Ha, ha, how did you know that I love the combination of French (preferable a good Bordeaux) red wine with strong French cheese? :-) But no, I didn't had that for a long time :-( Instead I enjoyed your lovely music ;-)

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi TumeniKnobs,

Oh my goodness! What is this? Is this for real? This is so beautifully done, so... so... much the real thing, I hear here a professional modern mixture between J.M. Jarre and Tangerine Dream. So nicely composed, at one stage I was thinking (well at least trying to think) that I was missing something, and indeed when my face went blue I realised I was missing oxygen, I totally forgot to breath, so tense I was (and I still am) listening to your beautiful track!

One thing is for sure after this. Hans Zimmerman can pack his stuff and you can take over seamlessly and do even a much better job than he does ;-) There is still one thing left, I don't understand... why didn't offer any hotshot from Hollywood you a soundtrack contract yet? They must be nuts to leave you unused here! :-)

For me this sounds professional and top notch material you got here, thank you so much for sharing this with a peasant like me ;-) Keep coming with this serious stuff but if I would be you, I would look around if they indeed all lost their mind in Hollywood or if you indeed can manage to get a serious contract there any soon! Thank you and kind regards, Garfield.

P.S.: Nice video too. It's great to see your two racks together with your sequencer running. Lovely! :-) I am going to listen for the third time, I still can't believe this :-)

Hi Wishbonebrewery,

This is an interesting and a bit different track from your usual "line". I like it, a bit magical too and some new sounds haven't heard before. Yeah, I like this style! :-) I wouldn't mind to listen to more of this. Keep it coming!

Thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Synthmage00,

But it actually makes sense what you are asking here, just not sure if this is easy to be implemented...

I was just joking in my previous comment ;-) Kind regards, Garfield.

I am so glad that I am not the owner of this modulargrid.net website when I see feature requests like that

How does the MIDI routing works? ;-)

Hi CardiacTasty,

Don't forget the Intellijel - Audio I/O module, with 10 HP it's still compact though very useful as an audio interface module, it can handle inputs and outputs (both stereo) simultaneously. Then there is Befaco Out v3, very small module, only output (or only input if I am not mistaken). Oh yes and the Bastl Instruments - Ciao! module. Though the Intellijel one might be the best fit from these three.

I haven't mentioned XLR modules since you were asking for compact modules.

Good luck with finding a good audio interface module and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Eexee, Farkas and Toodee,

Eexee: Other than the already mentioned filters by Farkas and Toodee, the Doepfer A-124 Wasp filter is one I love, it can go quite bananas without becoming irritating like a TouellSkouarn filter that mainly just screams. So if you are looking for a screaming filter go for a TouellSkouarn filter, they have a few, the Kala Goañv isn't actually that bad and kind of okay-ish.

Patching Panda, the Vibrazum comes to mind, still discovering that one myself, not sure what to think of it but good enough to consider it. If you like more something smooth then I can recommend the Instruō - Tràigh filter, pretty decent and not rough at all, rather the opposite more like to smoothen your sound or to give it just that extra touch. A bit like the Polivok filter that Farkas mentioned I guess.

If you look more for a Roland style of filter then go shopping at Frequency Central, the State 700 Mk 2 filter for example. Not an exact 100% filter as such however if you are interested in a resonator then the Mutable Instruments - Rings is actually a quite fun "filter" (resonator is a better description) and is recommendable.

Naturally Doepfer has about a half thousand of filters or something like that, not going to name them all here however one or two that might be a bit special and to be considered are the A-108 is a transistor Moog ladder filter with 6, 12, 24 and 48 dB/octave steep slopes that can provide you interesting options. The other less obvious one is the A-128 fixed bank filter. I use that one sometimes to get rid of certain irritating sounds in my music that I can't get rid of in another way (or too lazy too figure out what's causing the irritation). It doesn't do wonders but it can make irritating sounds more smooth or less harsh and of course it can be used for many other purposes as well.

Hopefully this gives you some ideas. Good luck with the search for another nice filter :-) As Toodee mentioned, I indeed can seriously recommend the Erica Synths - Black Dual VCF, it's a great filter with some really nice features and possibilities, check out my demo here:
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/8963

Mutable Instruments - Rings can be heard here:
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/9279

And the Make Noise QPAS here (and later on in that demo again the ES - Black Dual VCF):
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/9003

Last but not least if you are into quadrophonic music or just playing chords, then I can recommend Doepfer A-105-4, here is a demo of it:
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/9397

Farkas: Interesting description of the Erica Synths' Polivok filter but I do think I can agree here with you how you described it. For myself I still need to more understand this filter, it seems I can't get the max out of it, or perhaps I put my expectations too high and want to get more out of it than it's possible ;-)

Toodee: He, he, yes that Black Dual VCF is still a fantastic filter, thanks for recommending it :-) I still love this filter a lot, together with my Doepfer A-124 Wasp filter and Doepfer A-106 SEM filter the best ones I have!

All: Enjoy the pleasure of playing around with filters and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Solitud,

Let me try to reply from your point of view, because if I would reply from my point of view as a user then I want everything ;-) But let's try to be realistic and it needs to be doable for you too :-)

From that latter point of view, I would not expect to see an archived (or exported) rack visible in our command centre. To keep things simple for you as well as for the user, I think once a rack has been archived it should become a private rack... though... just having thought/said that...

What would happen if a user makes a rack for another user and displays/uses that in one of the (Rack) posts and that particular rack would then be archived... hmm... then perhaps it shouldn't become a private rack and the user who checks then that post should see, for example, a reference to an archive file or whatever way you would like to implement it.

So coming back on my own above comment once a rack is going to be archived... if somehow possible, perhaps ask the user if it should be private or public? So asking that for every rack that's going to be archived? Or if one does a bundle of racks into an archive the entire bundle will then be either private or public, depending on the choice of the user?

It gets quite complicated, right? :-) Exporting a rack to avoid issues with archiving a rack, is not an option for you? To be honest, I would rather have the option to export a rack then to have it archived.

Thank you very much and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Solitud,

That's indeed a great way of integrating Bandcamp here into Modulargrid, thank you very much! That causes me to consider to take a BandCamp account. If one publishes something on BandCamp, is that "something" then exclusively to be used with BandCamp only or is one allowed to publish it parallel elsewhere as well?

Nice album by the way, my favourite is Ankylosaurus, fantastic track. Nice vocoder effects you are using there :-) If I may ask, which vocoder are you using there?

Thanks a lot for this great functionality within Modulargrid and thank you very much for sharing your great work here with us! Kind regards, Garfield.
