In addition to the created field modules now also have a published field. Manufacturers could always upload a module as private and change later to public. Now, when they change the module to public the published field is written and the module will show up on first position in the module browser when sorted by new. This only works once, it's not possible to bump modules.
The change will make published modules more visible. Before the change depending on the upload date they were burried in the module list.

Very much looking forward to this.
What wavetable format will it support?
Can it morph between or warp wavetables?
What is the select bus used for?
Any updates on a release date?
Well I have three oscillators plus noise and the granular/sampler to create sounds. Im primarily using the CVilization as a matrix mixer. While I'm open to ideas in things to add in my open space, I'm mostly interested in arrangement/ordering advice.
There's a lot of modules to chew up audio, but not many to feed them.
Think about those stereo modules in the signal chain you have in mind, and mixing.
Will you be using them in stereo, or discarding half, and when?
Is Pam's the usual clock for the other clocked modules?
Will you need a distributed reset to start and stop them in sync?
More active mults can share those expensive-to-generate signals.
Sometimes, it simplifies to think in essential pairs of modules that compliment each other,
and then think of those pairs as a single unit as you're building up.
Today I tried something new with my Intellijel Multigrain and Sealegs. I sampled my singing voice into the Multigrain, used the quantizer for harmony, and explored the A/B slider to morph between two different setups.
Then I patched it into Sealegs for delay, reverb, and even used the noise knob as a rhythmic tool. A simple patch, but it turned into something that felt like playing an instrument.
What makes you say that you are not happy with the current arrangement?
Your post made me laugh a bit, because I also was trying to have all the bottom jacks top row and top jacks bottom row. And I think I also spot another sin that I am guilty of: trying to keep all the modules in black and aluminium separated.
My tip would be to try to not care about the colours and the jack positions because you will always find some other module that does not fit your curated layout.
I now try to follow the usual signal path. In your case I would have Pamela Workout all the way on the left and work my way through oscillators, envelopes, LFO, Mult, filters, VCA, effects. That's ususally how it would be on a normal keyboard synthesizer like Juno etc.
If you're scared about the cables being in the way of your controls, I find that if you layout in a way that your favourite playable knobs (for me: filter cut off) are always ready and able you will be fine with it.

Funny enough the color separation was just a happy accident! I'll try reworking it with your advice in mind.

I'm struggling to come up with an arrangement for modules in my case that I'm happy with, and was wondering how others here would approach it. So far I've been trying to keep modules with bottom jacks in the top row and vice versa to minimize controls being covered, but maybe that's a futile effort. I'd love to hear any ideas you might have.
Some feature is missing? Post your idea.

I think a very welcome quality of life improvement would be adding bulk CRUD to the inbox and outbox. Having to delete manually hundreds of conversations and having each new message within a conversation appear as an indipendent entity, and the everpresent RERERERE:RE... (you get my point) makes one lose track of things very quickly.
I'm sorry, but I see nothing to "reform" and no sign of "mindless buffoonery." This is a phrase that has existed for 80 odd years and is completely independent of the events of this past week. It arose from a time when most of the Euro/American west actually opposed fascism, and ought not be an edgy sentiment. This has been printed on circuit boards a la Woody Guthrie's guitar and I see no reason why the practice ought to stop. In no way do I condone violence, I see it as an outward symbolic reminder that we all ought to do our part to stand up to fascist tendencies and maintain our individual and collective rights. I'm off my soap box now.
Ahhh, ok.
I looked on Thonk earlier but couldn't spot anything.
Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.
I've just done a bit of googling to understand where 'This Machine Kills Fascists' this came from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists I never knew its inceprion was based in 2nd World War efforts, obvious when you think abaout it.
But who was the first Modular Maker to start putting it on their PCBs?

what do the sliders control? the manual just says "sliders"
is it one slider for each input? if so, what 1 parameter does it change.
is it 4 sliders that control all 4 inputs... again, what 4 parameters would be controlled?
Yes, this setup really exists, and I’m super happy with it in combination with the additional control rack :)
The only thing I haven’t installed yet is the second ‘OUT’ module, but I’m wondering whether I really need it or maybe something else instead?
Thats probably someone tidying up because all the Divkid collaboration modules are under his name https://modulargrid.net/e/divkid-ochd rather than Instruo / befaco / Appoloview / SSF / Vostok etc etc

The module that dissapeared was the Instruō øchd and there was no duplicate, although it's strange that it wasn't already in 'Module finder'; it's still current & not a rare device. I'll try re-uploading later.
What was the module? Could it have been a duplicate? Could someone else have edited it or deleted a duplicate?

I uploaded details and a picture of a modular device that I have (that was originally missing from the modular finder manafacture's page) and now it has disappeared from the 'Modual Finder' page and consequently disappeared from my 'Modular racks'.
Any ideas?
Hey! I made that, based on an old PDF I found on an archived version of mfb.de the Wayback Machine. Let me know if you found it useful and if something is not right. I sold my SEQ-03 but I'm maybe buying one again... It's a bit awkward to use, but super powerful and flexible once you get the hang of what all the buttons and shift-functions do.
its an active en working system .
the only thing that was a chalenge .
is the placement of the modules in the rig
i kept moving them . due to the cable managment .splitting the rig up in two mixers was the anser to my problem .doing it virtualy saved me time .
Have you actually tried it? If it works for you then perfect, but if it's just a collection of pixels on a screen the actual playability remains a mistery i think
the reason that its "over" build like this its build as a live improv gig .
the set can evolve in any direction without running out ideas
i can play this for hours
I like to live patch / program / tweak things when needed .so i need a lot of patch/cv/gate points.
and because i dont have the time to menu scrol. everything needs to be layed out for easy access.
the system is organised as folowed :
kick and rumble : dfam + ericasynth "pico"
percusion/drums : dfam + ericasynth
bas : mother32
pads : subhamonicon + spectravox weirdnes
plucks : labyrinth +metropolix for extra flavor mod and sequencing chaos
textures/sampler : multigrain out of this world
effects : the godfather ,powerhouse multi send effect from de wmd mixers. the effects are top notch.
and last but definetly not the least
the oxi meta-fx for that instant sparkel
and offcours hapax controles all and hermod+ with the xp32 for distrubution
I use everything in this setup
I did a techno-style performance with the Böhm, the Multigrain, and lots of other modules as well…
Feel free to ask any questions or share tips if you have some.
These are speculative thoughts. It'd be neat if...
With those five Moog spots on the left, it needs some sort of switching/modulation spine down its center.
That nice commonality of having that familiy of modules, and their shared i/o design, gets tossed away to the right side.
And if you got 'em, you're gonna use 'em, so there will always be a Moogy cable thicket right down the middle.
Don't know what that magic cross-modulation-spine device module set controller would be,
other than expensive, probably. Does somebody make that?
Idea that I'm too lazy to do.
If M=Moog and O=other stuff, instead of the current:
MO
MO
MO
MO
MO
try interweaving them so more can play along, up down, side to side
OM
MO
OM
MO
OM
Spectravox is such a specialized tool, It's hungry in a rack, both for the space and the i/o it can do.
For me, it shines as a solo voice, and it's subtle and delicate, but easily buried in other synth sounds.
I'm thinking of it more as a 84hp outboard with some i/o to help it.
So it you wanted to move that way more fun Labyrinth over....
Having a moog system myself composed of 2 dfams, subharmonicon and a labyrinth, I am prone to saying that the fun with those synths is the hands on approach with the sequencers. If you say you also have an hapax, I think this system is way too "oversequenced" and I think will get unusuable rather quickly. Unless you leave everything always patched, that's a preference.
For example, I would get rid of the erica synths modules. I find 2 DFAMS to be plenty drums for any scenarios. Ofc that depends if you use them as percussion synths. I guess the hermod+ is to have more cv gate outs from the hapax. Maybe you could do with a regular midi to cv converter, save some money and some hp. The metropolix is a bit different: my purist taste would also get rid of it in order to prioritize the sequencers that are already present, but I can imagine that using it would open up the other modules in unexpected ways... mumble mumble.
The godfather is also up for questions. It took me 10 years to understand that I cannot have modules with screens/menus in my system. Whenever I get to patch them, my balls drop to the floor and I want to quit. Every patch reaches a bottleneck there eventually. But some fx are indeed mandatory... another mumble mumble
If I were you, I would build a second version of this, maintaining only the moog semimodulars, or whatever module you consider is a must, and from there incorporate utilities, mixers, vca, modulations, anything that helps you extract all the potential from your must haves. As it is, this to me seems more like a colletion of modules than a single instrument, if you get what I mean.
I was wondering if there is an exact voltage for this Module, or at least an estimate on the positve and negative usage? I'm wondering because I have the Module and really enjoy having it racked, but am also close to 80% capacity on one of my smaller Racks and don't want to push it too far.
