Don't hate me for being Behringer's b1tch at the moment... I'm a hobbyist dad on a budget.
Here's my rack so far. I don't have the Four Play module yet (awaiting resupply) and the 2HP Tune is in the mail. Excited to play with that when it comes. I also have a Dual VCA module I use for now but is not shown here.
I still have some HP left after those for some cool stuff in the future.
I've been playing with these modules combined with the Arturia MiniBrute 2 and Behringer Neutron and getting some really fun stuff out of it. I'm mostly doing horror drones, industrial and bass dub beats, trip hop and playing around building melodies here and there but there's so much to discover. I'm having a ton of fun putting a few odd songs together.
My big issue at the moment is I would like to sample and loop on the fly but I gotta save up for a more expensive module. Considering saving for a 1010music bitbox to cover that.
Cheers!


Nothing wrong with running their modules
(though I've avoided getting a space fx, and have those "four" functions covered.).
I've used the Chaos Marbles clone often, way more than the Abacus. I'll never understand the popularity of Maths.

The 1050 mix sequencer would work great here as your output mixer or for getting a 24 note sequence from the 1027,
or just for switching signals. There's also the cable in the back to send the 1027's clock to the 1050, and a switch for it.

The behringer arp and roland clones are on discount now, I suspect that line will be discontinued soon.
I know there's a ton of them out there for the used market, but get 'em new while you can.

You could benefit from a good mult to share your hard-won generated signals.
I like the Synthrotek MST '07 Buffered Multiple @ 4HP. Best $99 you could spend here.

I think you can get lots out of what you've shown here already.

I've moved things around, mostly to help with using those little short yellow Doepfer patch cables.

I would change the FX module... the behringer space fx is in my opinion not a really great fx.. the sound quality is not so good, i would change it..maybe a Fx aid, or a desmodus versio, or something... but i would not have fun with the space fx


Space FX is basic, but if you already own it, have the hp, and it adds some no-fuss air to the mix, why not?
On the other hand, if I actually tried one, I might not say that.


Hi,
With this size case, an FX-AID would be fine, although it's difficult to memorize and view the different settings... If you want a good addition to what you already have, something affordable and with low hp, the Erica Synths PICO DSP is a good option.


Yeah, the Space FX is basic and not great, however it's a super cheap option so I was able to get two inexpensive units to mess around with. I decided to do the Space FX full wet signal on one of them. I was playing around with it over the weekend of feeding the signal of one into the second one then back into the first one. Combined with a VCA I was able to get some pretty fun distortion, mostly combining the Ambience on the wet-dry signal one, then Echo on the full wet signal one. I had a lot of fun messing around with it for a while, but the sheer lack of CV control is the killer. That will make for a future DIY mod for me.
But at the end of the day I get better FX through my mixer / workstation (I picked up an old Yamaha AW16G for cheap and it's filling in a lot of gaps in my setup for the time being). I will probably pop out the Space FX when I can get something better, maybe have a little diy side unit for quick fx hits, we will see.

I appreciate the feedback!


Behringer modules are good for beginners, and they're where I first started. The more you play you'll notice the differences in sounds of behringer products. Try to use the modulation and utilities stuff more in Behringer. For cheap oscilator modules and effects modules, there're lots of other options sounds better but only slightly expensive than behringer.
1010 sampler is good, but you might have to suffer from a lot of menu diving to use the details. Doesn't mean that it's not good, just a gentle reminder if you really care about this.
I'd recommend the new Bastl Citadel series, for any use. It now has three firmware, covering synthesizer, effects, and sampler. Good for a supplement and if you 're bored with one function, you could' switch another one easily. It has built in cv, pattern generator and midi support that makes it a nice utility in the system too.


Will look into that BASTL citadel, thanks for the suggestion.


I would add a filter for behringer brains.. behringer surges is very cheap and sound realy solid.. i have one and i like it a lot
