First time doing €rack, designed a relatively low-cost Filter Vault [104HP], advice before I buy?

I really like characterful filters, hence:

For context, I have a Mother-32 and an MS-20 mini so I can patch out/into them if need be.
Given that I have a Mother-32, is the Doepfer A-108 redundant?
Much appreciated!

I’d recommend taking a look at the Noise Reap Anomaly filter for a low cost but unique addition to this rack.
Have fun and good luck!

Even so, you really needs a lot of modulation sources to make life interesting. Modulation spices up patches and can help filter sound even better!

& don't forget the utilities ffs!!!!

utilities = more variation in patching = more interesting patches = less chance of boredom setting in... both in the audio path and for modulation!

get bigger case add modulation add utilities!!!!

"some of the best base-level info to remember can be found in Jim's sigfile" @Lugia

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

sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities

Yup Jim is 100% correct- for utilities I like WMD SSF Toolbox, Mutable Instruments Kinks and Links combo and Intellijel Quad VCA.
