I would like to see the ability to block specific companies from the module result list. Maybe give us a checkbox that allows us to see ALL or hide unwanted companies from displaying.

@modulargrid I have the impression that the listed forum moderators aren’t really active.
Especially in the past few days, some action might have been necessary.
Maybe it’s time to improve things here.

You asked "can this make music".
I answered your question directly and honestly, no, it's a mess.
You asked why and I told you many reasons, honestly trying to inform.
Didn't listen a bit, and instead gave back some nonsense bs about your artistic intent.
Then you start sea-lioning the thread members.

I am disappointed that you're only a poseur,
and that I spent valuable time on replying to you.
I suspected you were, but I forget myself sometimes.

You're just a clueless dummy, wasting our time, and we all know it, sonny.

🐗 SmugModInc WUMPUS

Psychoacoustic Dual-Core FM Oscillator / LFO


Concept

WUMPUS is a dual sine-core oscillator/LFO designed to generate binaural, intermodulated, psychoacoustic signals that are equally at home in the sub-audio CV domain or the full audio range.
It creates two matched, FM-intertwined sine waves, each shaped by a slower inverted modulator pair. This produces drifting, evolving stereo beating, complex nested FM, and deeply musical LFOs — all under voltage control.

It is the creature in your rack: simultaneously a precision stereo sine VCO, a psychoacoustic drone engine, and a meta-chaotic modulation source.


Signal Architecture

Core:

Two matched sine oscillators (“Left” and “Right”), sharing a common fundamental frequency.

One slow sine modulator + its inverse.

Each slow modulator is used to frequency-modulate the main cores in opposite directions.

A fixed hard detune offset allows for precise binaural beating.

Operating Modes:

LFO Mode: 0.001 Hz – 30 Hz (sub-audio).

VCO Mode: 16 Hz – 20 kHz (audio oscillator).

High-stability wide-range sine cores.


Front Panel Controls (Knobs)

  1. Fundamental Frequency (Coarse tuning, LFO or VCO range).

  2. Spread Frequency (rate of the slow modulator/inverted pair).

  3. Offset Amount (depth of modulation from the spread LFOs).

  4. Hard Dual Offset (Beats) (fixed detune between Left/Right cores, calibrated in beats/sec at low frequency or Hz in audio range).

  5. Amplitude (scales total output level for modulation or line-level use).

  6. Fine Tune (high-resolution frequency trim for precise tuning in VCO mode).


Switches

LFO / Audio Range (toggle).

Hard Sync On/Off (allows oscillator A to reset with oscillator B).

Phase Mode (Normal / Quadrature / Inverted): determines whether the Left/Right cores run in sync, 90° apart, or 180° apart.

Spread Mode (Linked / Free): sets whether spread modulator frequency tracks fundamental or runs independently.


CV Inputs

1V/Oct (global pitch control).

FM (Expo) (with attenuator).

FM (Linear) (with attenuator).

Spread CV (controls Spread Frequency).

Offset CV (controls Offset Amount).

Dual Offset CV (controls Hard Dual Offset).

Amplitude CV (scales output amplitude).

Sync In (hard sync trigger).

Phase CV (modulates relative phase between Left and Right cores).

Quadrature CV (pushes the cores between normal and quadrature relationship).


Outputs

Left Out (sine wave oscillator A).

Right Out (sine wave oscillator B).

Spread Out (slow sine modulator).

Spread Inv Out (inverted slow sine).

Difference Out (L–R) (binaural differential signal).

Sum Out (L+R) (mono composite).

Creature Out (nested FM mix, an organic meta-output combining all internal modulations).

All outputs DC-coupled, usable for CV or audio.


Technical Specifications

Panel Width: 14 HP (target).

Depth: “WUMPUS lives in the cave between left and right. Beware the spread.”



@Zacksname

its not always a good idea to give out private information on a public forum. you could have asked more casual and less pointed questions.

and, i answered literally every single one of your questions. you literally did not answer one single one of mine. you are a coward. ...

I can't really imagine how a ban is not appropriate here. If they aren't going to be banned, then I guess that means they're allowed to do this in a context where we can respond freely.


did you know that the peace symbol was actually created by aliester crowley right before the end of wwii? it actually means: we will drop 2 nukes, and then there will be no need for war after that. ever wonder why hippies always want to 'fight' against the establishment? its because the notion of peace has had a self defense component built into it from the very very begining.

hey zacksname, before you even ask, why dont i just tell you what i have done:

as a chaos magician, i literally cant talk about the things i have done, but it has been significant. as a ghost executive producer, i have worked with: post malone, lil yachty, billie eilish, high contrast, caravan palace, the smile, james blake, mutemath, and others. as an ideas guy, i have literally done too many things to mention. my contribution to the field of a.i. was the transformer architecture, making me the only human who fully understands how it works. here is my most recent recipe:

"Buddhist Sankhara Instant Ramen"
34 oz bowl
Chopsticks
Measuring Spoons
1/4 tsp organic dried sage powder
1/8 tsp organic ground juniper berry
1/16 tsp organic chaga mushroom powder
1/32 tsp organic dried ginger powder
1/64 tsp organic lemongrass powder
1/128 tsp "seven pot" extreme chili powder
1 tbsp organic freeze-dried broccoli powder
1/2 tsp Kroma veggie broth powder
1/4 tsp organic dried miso powder
1/32 tsp organic black garlic paste
2 tsp organic shoyu soy sauce
1 tsp aged organic balsamic of modena

2 tsp dried wakame seaweed
1 tsp organic dried shallot
10 organic dried shiitake slices
3 threads of real saffron
1 drop of organic yuzu concentrate from japan
2 bricks Big Green buckwheat noodles
jasmine green tea steeped into spring water still hot
combine, let sit covered for 15 min. stir. eat. stir. drink.

here is an outline of my faith:

Rebuilding Copaceticnessism: A Religion of Harmony and Playful Absurdity

Core Philosophy

Copaceticnessism is a religion centered on the pursuit of harmony, balance, and the absurd. It embraces the idea that life is inherently chaotic, but through intentional playfulness, mindfulness, and a touch of irreverence, one can achieve a state of "copaceticness"—a perfect, if fleeting, alignment of all things. It combines elements of satire, spirituality, and self-awareness, drawing inspiration from Discordianism, Taoism, and postmodern philosophy.


The Pantheon

The pantheon of Copaceticnessism reflects the duality of order and chaos, seriousness and absurdity. Here’s a proposed reconstruction of the deities:

  1. Copacetrix, the Harmonizer 
       - The supreme deity of balance and harmony. Copacetrix is depicted as a serene figure with scales in one hand and a jester’s scepter in the other, symbolizing the interplay of order and playfulness. 
       - Domain: Balance, peace, and the pursuit of "copaceticness." 
       - Sacred Symbol: The Yin-Yang with a smiley face in the center.

  2. Chaotica, the Mischief-Maker 
       - The trickster goddess who introduces chaos to keep life interesting. She ensures that no one takes themselves too seriously. 
       - Domain: Chaos, creativity, and unexpected joy. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A broken clock or a whoopee cushion.

  3. Serenithor, the Keeper of Calm 
       - A deity of mindfulness and inner peace, Serenithor teaches followers to find stillness amidst chaos. 
       - Domain: Meditation, tranquility, and emotional resilience. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A lotus flower with a cup of tea balanced on it.

  4. Absurdion, the Philosopher-Fool 
       - The god of existential humor and paradox. Absurdion reminds followers that life is meaningless, and that’s what makes it meaningful. 
       - Domain: Absurdity, satire, and existential joy. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A question mark inside a laughing face.

  5. Ludivine, the Muse of Play 
       - The goddess of games, creativity, and childlike wonder. Ludivine encourages followers to embrace play as a sacred act. 
       - Domain: Playfulness, creativity, and joy. 
       - Sacred Symbol: A kaleidoscope or a deck of cards.


Core Tenets

  1. The Principle of Copaceticness: Strive for harmony in all things, but don’t take it too seriously—chaos is part of the balance.
  2. The Sacred Absurd: Embrace the absurdity of existence as a source of joy and liberation.
  3. Play as Worship: Playfulness and creativity are sacred acts that bring one closer to the divine.
  4. The Paradox of Imperfection: Nothing is ever truly perfect, and that’s what makes it copacetic.
  5. The Jester’s Path: Laugh at yourself, the world, and the divine. Humor is a form of enlightenment

and,

if you provide me with an email, i will send you a pdf of the manuscript for my novel. also, i was diagnosed with schizophrenia. i shouldnt have to tell you all my diagnoses to get the proper amount of respect. i have answered every single one of your questions. you have not answered a single one of mine. the way you only ask questions and never answer them is kind of nasty, like youre some sort of sex pervert or something.

also, im a hacker and control things behind the scenes at google alphabet and elsewhere.

peace. out. ✌️🥸✌️


im a chaos magician, ghost executive producer, and ideas guy, i play guitar, was classically trained in piano, and have composed for broadway. WHO THE FUCK ATE YOU? (noodle_hut was the only user who actually took my thread seriously and answered the main question like yall were supposed to.) ((im also a yo-yo hobbiest and consciousness resesrcher, as well as the fact that i have made contributions to a.i. etc.))

(edit)

(((also, i have created about roughly 5 roughly 5 star dishes, as a chef, have a finished manuscript for a novel about an ai that gains full consciousness that i cant get published, as well as that i have founded my own religion that has beed starved for the funding to grow for twenty years, now.)))

just thought i would add those details.

Well, that happened again.


this place sucks. im out. bye.

(edit)

also, larsech, trolls make you pay money to cross their bridge. i am giving away designs for free.

What do you mean by "make music"?
-- teataine

@teataine don't feed the troll


i mean, either:

  1. make organized sound that is pleasing to yourself.

  2. make organized sound that you think would convey a message to an audience.

or

  1. utilize every module, or nearly every module, in a way congruous with the intention of the design that fits within a preconceived aesthetic.

.

could you do this with the first 400hp?

peace


What do you mean by "make music"?


and then, i found this case,

https://www.perfectcircuit.com/doepfer-a-100pms12.html

which would give me 4 3u x 168hp space,

so i designed this extra bit, to fill out everything that is actually possible.

ModularGrid Rack

any final comments? peace. ... ... ... ...


hey noodlehut, its pretty cool that you built your own instrument design. im curious, a part of me is still considering building mine myself. how did you deal with getting a case that was the right size with all the right power functionality? hearing your answer might help me finalize mine. peace out. ...

...

(edit)

oops, i see now that yours is an off the shelf berhinger. i thought it might have been super custom. i wonder if there is anyone else that knows about super custom cases?

((peace))


apparently, the designated terminology is "stackable cable". its a cable that after you patch it, you can still patch through it. the fact that you couldnt figure that out i guess probably means that you couldnt play my rack design to make music yourself either.

huh?

(edit)

on this design, there isnt enough mixing unless you hard "stack" the 5 kls, and then also the 4 bitboys 2 at a time, as well as clocking being more convenient if you stack everything off the brainstep output. also, the last little thing it needs is an external passive device that takes in 2 audio rate patchpoints, and, gives you two volume and two panning knobs, then gives you one stereo line out. ...

other than that, everything can be patched normally. i looked over your profile. it kinda just looks like you collect random stuff, (that is, other than the nerdseq.) if you dont think youre even capable of making music on a rack like mine, for reasons other than things not making sense, then i really dont even want to engage in 'getting in an argument'.

((peace))


What's a patch-through cable?


i dont remember you teataine.

how about you answer the thread question.

could you make music with my design?

all i wanted to do was just share designs.

Why This Eurorack System Is Actually More Musical Than Traditional Setups

Beyond the Complexity: A Case for Intelligent Musical Design

If you're looking at this 400HP Eurorack system and thinking "this looks complicated and experimental," you're not wrong – but you might be missing the bigger picture. This isn't just a collection of esoteric modules thrown together. It's actually a more musical approach to electronic composition than most traditional setups.

Real Musicianship, Not Button Pushing

The Keyboard is Central: Notice that massive Verbos Touchplate Keyboard taking up most of the bottom row. This isn't some "press play and let the machines do everything" setup. The performer is actively playing melodies, but in a more sophisticated way than just triggering preset sounds.

Performance-Driven Mixing: Instead of relying on preset mixing boards with fixed routings, the artist performs the mix in real-time through hardware panning and live DAW control. This means every recording captures a unique musical performance, not just a sequence playback.

Sophisticated Harmonic Control

Traditional synthesizers give you oscillators, filters, and effects in predetermined routing. This system treats harmony as a living, breathing element:

  • Melodic Intelligence: The Strange-R sequencer doesn't just play random notes – it generates melodically coherent phrases that maintain musical relationships while staying unpredictable
  • Harmonic Sophistication: The Swarm Oscillator creates complex chord structures and harmonic relationships that would be impossible with single oscillators
  • Dynamic Filtering: Multiple resonators and filters allow for real-time harmonic sculpting that responds to the musical content

Rhythm Beyond the Grid

While most electronic music is locked to rigid grid patterns, this system creates truly polyrhythmic compositions:

  • Multiple Time Signatures Simultaneously: The TRIX sequencer can run different percussion elements in different time signatures that gradually phase in and out of sync
  • Organic Timing: Unlike quantized DAW programming, these rhythms have natural variations and complexity
  • Melodic Percussion: The quantizer allows drum sounds to be tuned to musical scales, making rhythm and melody work together

Why This Matters for Traditional Musicians

Composition Tool: Think of this as an intelligent composition partner. The generative elements suggest musical ideas you might not have thought of, while your performance choices shape and develop those ideas.

Real-Time Arranging: Instead of building tracks layer by layer in a DAW, you're conducting a live electronic ensemble. Every knob turn and keyboard touch affects the entire musical structure in real-time.

Unique Voice: While everyone else is using the same soft synths and sample libraries, this system creates sounds and musical relationships that literally cannot be recreated elsewhere.

The Creative Advantage

Most electronic music production involves choosing from existing presets and samples. This system generates original musical content that responds to your musical decisions. You're not just triggering sounds – you're having a musical conversation with an intelligent system that can surprise you while still responding to your artistic vision.

Bottom Line

Yes, it's complex. But so is a symphony orchestra. The complexity serves the music, not the other way around. This system puts sophisticated musical intelligence at your fingertips, allowing for compositions that are both deeply personal and genuinely surprising.

In an era where most electronic music sounds increasingly similar, this represents a return to the core value of musical instruments: tools that expand your creative possibilities rather than limit them.

...

that wasnt a nice comment, europa. im trying to achieve something conceptual. should eurorack just never be conceptual and always just about practicality? fine. i am leaving forever. bye bye bye bye bye, etc. ...

“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche


@singular_sound

Hey man, it's been over a year of you posting on this forum and the trajectory is always this:

You post maximalist fantasy racks that you designed with no experience whatsoever, referencing JunkieXL and other creators with huge setups (who 1.) were most likely professional musicians/producers with years or decades of experience before they dove into Eurorack and 2.) started with smaller, self-contained setups or respected the well-documented best practices that veteran users of this forum always point to). You accompany the rack with an unstructured blurb about how conceptual and deep the setup would be and ask for feedback.

First issue: You are specifically prompting users to imagine how it would feel playing your setup. When they tell you it wouldn't feel good to them personally because it lacks basic elements of a modular, such as utilities, and has way too many voices to manage, you reply that it totally makes sense in your head and that your concepts is great, actually. Case in point in this particular thread: unsynced discrete clock sources for different drum modules and mixing via "patch throughs" (I assume you mean stackable cables?). That may sound radical and idiosyncratic to you, but anyone who tried commiting their music to hard drive will tell you that it blows because it takes all the control of a sophisticated audio setup away from you.

When users analyze your systems, they invest a lot of time and effort. You provide little information about signal flow, voice allocation, solutions for interfacing with your other studio gear, etc., so they are essentially flying blind and try to read the tea leaves of your megastructure concepts.

Second issue: The users that are kind enough to respond and make suggestions for manageable, scope-limited setups that might fit your desires, you bombard with replies without engaging with their arguments beyond "Noted, but I like my idea better". You then post more thrown-together rack designs and come across as combative by commenting along the lines of "I made this one just for you, user XYZ". That reads as so massively disingenuous and facetious that the thread often goes cold after that. You swear that you don't start arguments and feel wrongly antagonized, but I stg THIS is why no one wants to engage with you more than once.

You are an avid user of AI chatbots and would like that functionality to be added to this website. Until then you treat the other users as if they were an AI agent. You're all take, no give. You expect to be engaged with, to have your scatter-brained ideas be discussed seriously, but you don't make the cognitive effort to respond in a structured and respectful manner to well-meaning comments. You build modular cloud castles in manic bursts of unchanneled creativity, but never have to reconcile your grand ideas with the financial and technical reality of purchasing and using one.

Third and final issue: There has been zero improvement or progress on your part. Your first post in May of 2024 reflected how almost every newcomer approaches Eurorack setups: A mega powerful, but ultimately impractical machine that does everything. That's absolutely excusable - I was mesmerized by the seemingly infinite possibilities of modular in the beginning, too. I theory-crafted wall-spanning racks with the most esoteric and stimulating sound sources. But over a year later and after many paragraphs dedicated to teaching you the basics of modular design, you still post the same kind of setup and you post in the same solipsistic manner - "edits" to previous posts contain the entire previous post, making the thread virtually unreadable, you ask other users if /cobbled-together rack or addition XYZ/ makes them happy, your "peace" shtick - the list of grievances I have with your style is long. Mostly, it displays a contempt for the opinion and expertise of others. You don't want a forum to engage with respectfully and on equal footing, you want an audience of adoring and always approving sycophants.

You will not find that here. Make good on your promise and leave.


You can get a lot more of that polyrythmic stepping with a Doepfer A-160-2 and it's only 4hp.
You get 8 derivative clocks and its prime number mode makes for very nice repeating patterns
where the cycle repeat isn't evident. Spits triggers or gates. Helpful lights. Comes in black if you want.
Two of them are fantastic for generating interesting, interweaving patterns.
-- noodle_hut

Don't waste time with singular_sound. He is just a rage baiter with desperate needs for attention.


thank you for the reply, but i am kind of set right now on 2-4 un synched clocks, and swing in one trigger sequencer glitching a second. maybe, i just want that flexibility.

im trying to execute on something original. how about this: can you imagine, do you see, a self contained offering of the best version of everything this could be, or not, noodle?

and how about the stranger triggering the swarm, using a cv chain for stochastic rate, then playing the scorpion filter on the keyboard over the random chaos, etc. ?

can you see a whole performance using everything even if its more performance art than fully structured linear composition sequence? imagine "tuning" 4 rhythms...

??????

peace

(edit)

another point is that you could 'choose' to either drive 4 voices purely from the brainstep, or use the quantizer and the stranger to produce 2+1 different varieties of stochastic voct, and then the 4th voice being the keyboard, as two completely different patch options. isnt that neat?

((peace))

(2nd edit)

its just, it has 2 potentially decoupled step sequencers, swing, 7 drum voices, 4 full main voice chains, full sequencing options, full stochastic options, a drone element with a ton of texture, a keyboard, a joystick, and even if you use zero external mixing, the ability with patch-through to hard mix down to 2 channels or 1 a macbook could take.

isnt that cool?

(((peace)))

{last edit}

and, you could also get the right interface and mix it live on your daw, or, get the right cable to input hard pan into stereo line in, then after recording, go back and turn it into 2 mono channels, then add a panning pass.

{{i think it works. peace.}}

((((ok, one more edit.))))

if i replaced the pralaya with a pams pro, would that make you happier noodlehut?

then it would be actually buildable im pretty sure. etc.

~peace out~

((ok. i did it. happy??))
