Hi Funbun,

Wow, about 2.5 hours of music. Not sure if I am going to finish that by tonight, it's good that tomorrow is Sunday, enough time left to check out all your music! :-)

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

You're going to have problems. The idea that anyone can just step up and create a build that can work on styles from one end of the spectrum to the other is pretty much a fallacy, unless you're up for something in the 4 x 168 zone. This is because the modules that work well for, say generative music really aren't likely to be the ones that'll do the same for synthpop. Mind you, there ARE exceptions...but as I noted, this isn't something that can easily be done even WITH extensive experience. Anyway, the result is that you'd need a BIG system in order to house and power all of the modules that you WON'T be using on one project or another. So unless you've got piles of ca$h, I'd suggest you either try and find a "lane" for this build to drive in, or try and put together something rather basic that you can use with external processing. Except for generative...it's very much a "special case", and requires more than usual in terms of modulation and modulation pick-off modules to create the complex-order control needed for that.

Secondly, you mention that this should be in a 7u cab. I don't see that here. What I DO see, however, is a huge no-no on that bottom row. If you have something that's in a case, and that gets powered by that case, LEAVE IT IN THAT CASE unless you have some urgent, must-do rationale for putting it in the Eurorack cab. For one thing, it kills space that needs to be there for modules that have NO power and NO case. Secondly, once you factor in the cost of housing and powering those devices TWICE, you'll find that you're paying considerably more for the 0-Ctrl and DFAM than you paid when you bought 'em. Anyway, without a tile row in the layout, you're going to have some problems working out the configuration for it.

Now, as for that "complex oscillator" idea...it's not bad. My AE system has six of these sorts of assemblages, consisting of two basic digital oscillators, two VCAs, two full VCOs, a 4-in mixer, and a wavefolder. They work. But with AE's prices, they're very doable. Now, the price for your configuration comes out to $767 and it takes up 28 hp. However, this: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/make-noise-dpo-white-knobs ...is a Make Noise DPO, which is a fo-realz, no-foolin' complex oscillator based on typical Buchla signal flow concepts. And it costs $599, which comes out to $168 LESS. Clearly, the way you've implemented this isn't the right way to proceed unless, like I said before, piles of ca$h, etc.

Stop. Stop right now. You need to take some deep, cleansing breaths and have a seat.

For one thing, NO ONE AT ALL, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER comes onto Modulargrid and whips out a perfect first build. It doesn't happen. Period. Even if you've got extensive experience in synthesis, there is simply too much here to process rapidly, especially in Eurorack. Secondly, there's some major differences between prebuilt (even patchable) synths and true modular architecture, most notably in that you can totally define your instrument and tailor it for your music's needs. But that's a double-edged sword, tbh...mainly because, if you don't know that your music has a "deficiency" that modular SPECIFICALLY can correct, you're more apt to build a hella expensive closet-warmer.

Instead of continuing down a path that WILL result in the horrific detonation of your Magic Plastic, I suggest...

1) Spend time on here studying other, more experienced users' builds. Just go through there, and when you see a name you recognize from their work (and you will!), see how and why they do what they're doing. Gradually, you'll start to notice certain patterns in module complements, signal flow, ergonomics, etc.

2) Get a copy of VCV Rack. VCV is a software emulator for Eurorack (more or less) and contains a huge range of module emulations, some of which are 1:1 software takes on existing Eurorack hardware (Mutable, Instruo, et al). Mind you, it doesn't like to run on underpowered systems, so keep that in mind (and change your computer's power profile to "maximum performance", however you do that on the OS you use)...but that's more or less the sole drawback. You'll find everything at https://vcvrack.com/

3) After that, proceed SLOWLY. Make a build. Remake it. Then remake the remake, and so on. Work toward a refined end-result, not a fast slap-together; Modulargrid ain't a video game, and trying to "speed-run" it will invariably end in disaster, especially when first starting in modular system design. There are simply far more potential "errors" than proper solutions on MG, depending on what you're trying to do. And...

4) Avoid "sexy module syndrome". Yeah, I know...lots of blinkenlichts und tvistenknobs LOOKS cool AF, but unless you make sure to put the right "boring stuff" (VCAs, attenuverters, timing modifiers, etc etc etc) into the build in the right proportions and of the right types, you're guaranteed to wind up with a very expensive albeit pretty to look at noisemaker. The build above is already well on its way to that disastrous end-result, so...yeah, stop. Get to know the right "whats" and "whys" FIRST, and THEN go back to setting up a build that you can whittle into a fine final result. It's very doable, but it doesn't involve instant gratification...and if you've worked with music for any length of time, you should know better than to try and look for that illusion, as it simply doesn't exist. Or rather, it DOES...but the "gratification" only lasts for as long as you're unaware of the mistakes.
-- Lugia

Hey Lugia! I’m stoked to have you reply to my post. I’ve ran into many of your posts in the years that I have lurked modular grid, and have definitely internalized a lot of the advice.

As it stands, I already have the rig pictured here. The DFAM and 0-Coast are unracked, but I included them in the post in order to show that they are a part of my setup. I also have a Strega and Subharmonicon coming in soon. And no worries for the credit card, it’s all bought with cash :)

My main purpose in making this post was to get some feedback on the utility of my 7u case. I mainly want the 7u case to supplement my setup with lots of modulation. I do want the case to be able to generate voices on its own, however.

My main reasoning for opting to create my own complex oscillator was so that I could have a wave folder accessible to my other voices. The DPO has a little work around to this, but I’m not sure it would be wise to rely on that.

The rig will mainly be used for Pop/IDM. The generative stuff is not a priority, but I value the option.

Please don’t misunderstand—I very much want the boring modules. I want the precision adder, the logic, the switch mults, etc. But I would also appreciate some help in module selection.

edit: i forgot to mention that i do have some 1u modules (oscilloscope, out, and buffered mult). Modular grid limited me to three rows :(

Hello I'm working with a small setup. I know it's limiting, but I really enjoy the size because I move it from my home and office often and I built a nice mahogany stand for it that I'm happy with.
I've based the size off the 60hp of the Mother 32 and I have an MScale to deal with the voltage transfers due to a recommendation.
I'm wondering if I been sleeping (haha) on the Disting MK4 though. It says it functions as a precision adder and also has a lot of other capabilities- it also fits more snugly in my case than the 1hp I annoyingly have left over.
I haven't been able to find any comments on how it reacts with +5/-5 output of the Mother 32 however. Would it be worth it to replace the MScale for a Disting?

Hey guys !

Thank you for taking time to help me ! Really appreciate.

So i've started to study what you said and tried to make some changes with suggestions i liked.
I feel like it's a bit better but i also think it can be better.

a delay would be useful - consider an fx aid xl - it'll add delays, more 'normal' reverbs, lofi, phasers etc - definitely good for all stated genres - make sure to get the xl it has more modulation inputs and better ergonomics than the standard version

There was already a delay in the rack, Sarawejo. It looks cool to me but im not 100% sure for this one, i have to do more resarch. For now i work with external delays on my mixer.

a matrix mixer for mixing bits of modulation together to generate more interesting modulation - I like the doepfer (as it has full size knobs and space and is inexpensive) - but the instruo lion looks interesting

Very cool idea indeed, matrix mixers was still kind of blury to me. Would prefer the doepfer over the "touché-coulé" lion. Will definitely put one of those matrix mixer in my rack.

1) Serge Wave Multiplier >>>>>>>>> Serge Wave Shaper, stick with the former (I noticed it had fallen out of the rack)

Yes everybody says the VCM is better sounding and more polyvalent than the TWS, but to my ears i think the TWS will fit better with what i do, it looks more subtle, but i will also try the VCM for sure.

4) Disting rules, added one here.

Not for me :D I try to avoid this kind of modules, this is really not for me. I really dont like modules who can do everything or menu / sub menu modules, and i think i have enough menus with my eloquencer and pamela, so no Zadar too.

Last changes:

Again thank you guys !

After years of GASing for a eurorack, I have finally delved in. The journey has been a blast so far, and my only regret is that I didn’t start sooner!

At the moment, I am having some issues deciding on how I should proceed with my build. I am looking to make my 7u case a versatile build that can do everything from generative drones and techno, to IDM/Pop. A “swiss army knife” build, of sorts...

My setup currently consists of the DFAM and 0-Coast (both unracked), two sequencers (0-Ctrl, OP-Z) along with a 7u case. The 7u case in question consists of the top two rows of the build linked.

In this build, I have attempted to create my own complex oscillator, with the dixie, sto, fade, and bifold. Also, I am currently unsure how I should proceed with my utility selection. I want to include switches, precision adders, logic modules...but the selection of modules is rather overwhelming. In fact, I am open to replacement suggestions for any of the modules I have. Being that I am a noob, I know my module knowledge is rather limited.

Also, since productions are largely driven by a computer, I can’t help but feel I would do well with an FH-2 or ES-3/ES-6 combo, rather than the intellijel module. I have two hardware synths (Moog Grandmother and DSI Tempest) that I use slaved to ableton, so being able to sync the modular with it all would be rad.

I am also wondering if I should get a dedicated quantizer module such as the intellijel scales. I know o_c has a quantizer function, but the immediacy of a dedicated quantizer module is not lost on me.

edit: 1u row added!

Just discovered this space and need to mention I bought an ES-9 from @nikkore about two weeks ago. Good and clear communication, received the module in good condition and everything seems to work fine! Before this deal I had contact with another guy from Switzerland about an ES-8 (forgot his name) but although the communication seemed to be good, Unfortunately I never heard back from him.


Hi The-Erc,

Good question... it has a syncable LFO, question is if that's a hard sync (which I don't want) or one that follows one of those clock signals. Difficult to answer that question without owning the module, I think.

Now I have already the Time Wizard from Shakmat Modular, so it might not make too much sense to get the Pamela. If it's possible, I rather prefer to look for an LFO on its own that has this functionality.

Interesting thought though, I will keep this in mind. Thank you very much and kind regards, Garfield.

@GarfieldModular -- does Pamela's New Workout do what you want?


Hi Farkas, Lugia and JimHowell1970,

Farkas: I got the Octasource, it's indeed a great module so I can strongly recommend it however it doesn't have this functionality what I need that seems to be called at 4 ms as Pingable LFO. What I expect from this kind of pingable LFO is that if you use the "pingable" clock input (for example from a clock divider or multiplier) that the LFO "follows" in the rhythm of let's say the main voice.

Lugia: Yes indeed a big pity because I was just so extremely happy to know it exists what I want, till I discovered it's sold out as a ready-made module. I will have a look into Mutable's Tides to see if that one can help me out, thank you.

JimHowell1970: Pity that 4 ms decided to release it now only as a DIY module :-( Due to the serious lack of time, DIY is not the best option for me at the moment, I will keep it in mind though. Thank you!

All: Thank you very much, should you know of any other LFO that's kind of pingable or as described as above then please do let me know. Kind regards, Garfield.

This version is the original idea I had in mind with a few changes.
I know 3 sound sources is a crowd, but I felt like three options for different sounds was key in order to sequence externally with my computer using Ableton live. Perfect for writing bass, leads, experimental stuff, even making my own kick drums.


I think QPLFO is DIY only now - Exploding Shed just got them in - so still available - you just have to build it or find someone to build it for you!

@RichardDevine

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one very interested in looking what you are doing these days with the Flux sequencer


Probably don't remember this:
ModularGrid Rack
I would like to move the effect module Stasis Leak in another old Doepfer LC3 1 row case with somethings else (other effects and a module drum). I was thinking of filling those 6 hp with a simple oscillator to mix with the Complex, (I can recover another 2 hp moving ENVF to the third row because for now I haven't used yet - with volca beats?).
Do you think this is a good idea? Are there better ways to fill that possible space?
I control this rack with a keystep pro.


Hmmm...that's a shame, as it was sort of unique in that you had four independent LFOs, each under their own "tap tempo" via the "ping". However, the Mutable Tides shares some of this, and Ginko has their TTLFO which pretty much replicates a single section of the QPLFO. But losing a four-in-one like that...not good.

Hi Garfield. Maybe check out the Erica Octasource? That is the LFO module that has interested me.


Smooth and perfect transaction with @cv_hate ! I only can recommend him. Enjoy ambient and Panharmonium ! Best


I saw you'd started to make some of Jim's suggested changes and I had 5 minutes so I took a crack at this:

ModularGrid Rack

Quick thoughts:
1) Serge Wave Multiplier >>>>>>>>> Serge Wave Shaper, stick with the former (I noticed it had fallen out of the rack)
2) I like my DUSG but would probably take a second Maths over it so I swapped em here (and also switched to the white knobs which is what seems to be available).
3) Added a Links on top of your Kinks and dropped the various buffered mults as you can get stack cables and mostly be ok.
4) Disting rules, added one here.
5) Added an MCO because a digital oscillator would be a nice change of pace here and it does a lot.
6) Swapped the Doepfer matrix mixer with a 4MS VCA Matrix since you have a lot of CV sources. FWIW I don't actually love this module but I think it's my fault since I try to keep my racks focused and it's pretty big, but I think it could shine for you here.
7) Zadar + Nin rule, added them here as both envelope generators and as long running control sources for ambient.
8) Added the NCOM you had outside the rack cause it rules super hard, great fat suboscillator sounds and useful for utility stuff too.
9) Dropped in a Scales so you can forget about sequencing sometimes and do some CV driven generative stuff.
10) Added an Intellijel Unity mixer in 2Hp for both CV (fun!) and audio mixing.
11) Dropped the Extended ADSR since we added a Zadar.
12) Added a Ladik folding LFO, very cool module.
13) Added an OCHD, big fav of mine and will free up your Maths for example from driving long running LFOs.
14) Added a 4MS Rotating Clock to drive periodic changes around the system as your base clock keeps ticking.
15) Added another switch by 2HP.
15) Not totally sold on this idea just yet, but I dropped the HexMix VCA for a Jumble Henge. You already have a good number of VCAs and attenuators, and while more generally doesn't hurt Jumble Henge (or Soundstage) help clarify a mix a lot without you having to fiddle with it too much, not to mention something like the VCA Matrix and the XPan into a Jumble Henge open up a lot of interesting possibilities.

Hope this provides some ideas and insight, let us know where you end up!

Thread: Free Jazz!

Very cool!


It might seem finished, but remember: the minute a modular synth user actually DOES complete a system is the minute that the Earth falls into the Sun. This stuff is NEVER finished...


also thought about looking into modules for adding "randomness"again preferrable smaller modules,without getting to cluttered,but in this regard im abit in the dark
-- Broken-Form

Look into random signal modules that offer multiple functions. For example, Verbos's Random Sampling module. Sure, it's $500...but in its 18 hp, you get a multicolor noise gen, the essentials of the Buchla "Source of Uncertainty", a four-stage analog shift register that can also function as a quad sample and hold, and probably one or two other things that surface once you start screwing around with it. So, it SEEMS expensive, but you'd pay about the same amount (or more) for these devices separately, and they'd take up way more space.

Also, keep an eye out for "abuse potential". Example: modules such as Euclidean sequencers don't have to be sequencers; using them as quasi-random clock modulators is equally valid, and they can be VERY worthwhile for jazzing up your timing signals.


Have to agree with Jim here...there's a lot of audio modules present, but your modulation sources and modules to manipulate them with are pretty lacking here. F'rinstance, the DUSG is quite cool and all...but let's say you need to send an inverted output AND a normal one to two different destinations. Can't do that without attenuverters or polarizers, and I don't see any here. That's just one example; there's plenty of others.


Einstuggy makes anything sound terrifying and awesome!


Hi Ivo,awesome music.
how are you finding the tetrapad-tete combo for control?

i need to build a row in my modular for control/live manipulation,and the tetrapad-tete combo have been recommended to me,im mostly doing Dark Ambient stuff
-- Broken-Form

Thanks! I appreciate it.

I can't recommend the Tete/Tetra combo enough - I have two pairs in my system (still waiting on the second Tete to arrive after three months of waiting haha). It has so many modes that I could even see a third, so that I can have all three modes running at once. That said, the Combo mode is where it's at because you can essentially have 4 channels of whatever you want (i.e. one channel can be an LFO, another can be a sequencer, another a fader, etc.). Anyway yes, if you're looking for tactile control, look no further.

Awesome,gonna put them on my to buy list:)

famous last words...

do you really need both midi and a sequencer?

if so I would consider an external midi -> cv solution and a bigger sequencer (with fewer channels) for ergonomics mainly

if you only need midi clock then there are expanders for Pams that will do this in 2-4hp

remember to buy stackcables or headphone splitters

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!

sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities


make the rack public and post a link to the rack (copy and paste the url here) not to a jpg - no click through or infomatics on jpgs - they really help us help you as there are thousands of modules!

a delay would be useful - consider an fx aid xl - it'll add delays, more 'normal' reverbs, lofi, phasers etc - definitely good for all stated genres - make sure to get the xl it has more modulation inputs and better ergonomics than the standard version

a matrix mixer for mixing bits of modulation together to generate more interesting modulation - I like the doepfer (as it has full size knobs and space and is inexpensive) - but the instruo lion looks interesting

stackcables (or another passive mult) - for utilizing the matrix mixer and still having the original modulation available

a basic starter set of utilities - links, kinks and shades will add a lot for not that much cash - other modules that do similar things are available - wmd/ssf toolbox covers a lot of ground too

I'd want 50% of this size of a case to be modulation and utilities for manipulating it...

A virtuosity at the service of an instrument in its own right, modular synth. One can also discover an extraordinary piece by the same composer 'Compression Music (part 5)' on Vimeo, YouTube, or SoundCloud. Bravo and respect, Sir!

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!

sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities


FYI like all befaco modules - the joystick is available in DIY too - I built mine from a kit - it was reasonably straightforward iirc - a little bit of wiring for the joystick was the most difficult part

also thought about looking into modules for adding "randomness"again preferrable smaller modules,without getting to cluttered,but in this regard im abit in the dark
