Hi,

I just discovered the new(?) 1U feature, which is really nice. And timely, as I just finished my new rack with 1U spaces. However it is a 7 row rack with 4 3Us and 1Us in between. Modular Grid does not seem to be happy with this. Any way it can be expanded?

Thanks!

thanks to @grieve for a fast and easy transaction, so excited to put the new module into my rack.


I just got a great filter through an amazing transaction with @quantegy. Thanks for making it easy and painless!


thanks to @nnop for the pgm mixer. Quick delivery, well packed and mint condition!


Is this a DIY project or have you repanelled the a-119 somehow?


Thanks @SoundRay! Good seller.


D-Beam FTW


@moogboy

Great seller, fast shipping and most importantly honest guy. Will buy from again.

Thank you!


Clever use of that AT-AT-AT panel!


@AThousandDetails great seller and nice contact and pretty fast shipping. For sure again!


Hey,im new here and just wanted to know if any one has had any problems with their Verbos complex oscillator.ive had mine for three weeks and initially the Led in the modulation oscillator section would cut out when i selected a waveform in the modulation section.this week the modulation also cut out,that is no modulation,when i change waveform.there are waveforms availible from the individual outs at the top of the modulation oscillator section though.if i pwer off and power back on everything works as normal,until i change waveforms and .....thanks in advance to anyone who could shed some light on this.im thinking i just got a faulty module and have to return it.cheers.


cool.. thanks for that bit of info :)


@sunfalls I am using three MI Braids that have the new built in VCA mode/AD setting 1.8, plus I use the Makenoise Optomix for creating pluck like percussion sounds. I just recently took out one of the MN Optomixes and replaced them with 3 of the new SSF/WMD MMF filters that have a ping input, which sort of emulates a low pass gate, which also works great for percussive type sounds.


Seems like a very solid starting point to me :-)

Be sure to keep hold of the following when you expand (and you will):

A-143-2 (quad envelope)
A-143.4 (VC LFO)

As both are superb!

You might want to get more VCAs (or a multiple VCA module) and then look into something a bit more "west coast"? Make Noise Maths and/or a Wogglebug.
Also the A-143-4 is a mental Quad VCO & a real FM monster - a really good purchase!


Hiya

After 25 years making music, its time to get into Eurorack. Been watching the discussions here for some time and have finally set myself on a starter Doepfer bundle of:

Suitcase frame P9
A-110.1 (VCO) x2
A-138b (Mixer)
A-106.6 (VCF)
A-131 (VCA)
A-143-2 (quad envelope)
A-143.4 (VC LFO)
A-190.3 (MIDI-CV)

does that sound like a good starting point? Im looking for a basic starting monosynth, then to build develop and explore effects and multi source mangling from there...

many thanks

Dom

Okay, thanks. I have sold modules before on here through the marketplace, and it works great, as it brings the gear to the surface, making it more visible to buyers. I have security built-in with my payment service, so third-party security via the classifieds is redundant for me. Anyhow, thanks for the response, and thanks for a great service.


Is there a way to post a eurorack case to the Marketplace?
-- quantegy

You can only sell modules through the marketplace. That's a shortcoming of the system.
You have to be a MG member for three months to sell stuff and the amount of modules you can sell ist limited.
Selling stuff in the threads will shortcut those already minimal security features, so it is verboten.

Well, should I go through the trouble if I risk getting flamed for it? I'll give it a go, being that I have a nice case that someone on here who's buying modules could use. Thanks, for the feedback! =)


I guess it would not be allowed even if it would be possible - what I do not know.

Submit a new module which is the case :) advertise it like any other module :D


Bought Level Fixit from @robbert. Good seller. Recommended.

Hi
I would like to see a possibility to search patches. I have Module a,b and c. Show me all patches with these modules.
When i do a patch list the modules in the patch note automatically.
Thank you for your effort.
Cheers klanglicht


Moving my mixer/fx modules into a dedicated skiff for these final outputs :)
very excited. it also makes room in my 9u 126hp live rig.
Here's to bringing your notes to the stage with you!


Curious, .... of your lack of standard envelope generators, attack/decay, adsr's and the like, in your live rig..: for creating those tight percussion sounds. i'm not asking for trade secrets.
do you simply use lfo/AM/FM for your voices' vca control ?
anywho. hoping you get booked in portland some time :)


@mexicane sells good stuff and ships pretty fast


You know, subbing out the Pip Slope for an EON + the DPLPG would keep me at 17 powered modules, but add the capacity to get some noise into the system plus the cool vactrol goodness of the DPLPG... let me think about that. And thanks for your experience re: the mults. When I move up to my next (bigger) case I've got more mults in the picture.

Totally not easy! I've read somewhere that for most usage, it's not too necessary to have buffered mults, and in my experience (which is limited!) my 2hp Intellijel passive mult has worked fine for everything i've plugged into, and i've even split audio signals through it with no real problems. I went the path of getting a number of smaller or multi-function modules for my 3U set up, such as the Disting, the 2hp Qu-bit EON (envelope/osc/lfo/noise), and the 2hp MengQi dual LPG which is a passive 2-channel VCA type module. As I've been building my rack I also realized how important it is to have enough envelopes and vcas!


Thank you!

While I think I've got logic handled with Cold Mac and Disting, you're right, I'm low on mults. I ran out of room (I can have a maximum of 17 current-drawing modules) so I don't have a buffered mult in this config, but I could easily see swapping out the Malekko MUTE 4 for the 3HP 4ms buffered mult module if it turns out that I can't live with stackables.

My goal is to blend audio/samples with synth voices, both by running the external audio/samples through various modules and by mixing audio/samples with other stuff. At least that's my plan.

All that said, I may pull the Radio Music and replace it with the Brain Seed that got pulled out to make room for the ALM Pip Slope, as I was painfully short on envelopes. I also dropped the URA to make room for the Spectrum in my most recent edit, which I'm not entirely settled on.

This is not easy.


this user has left ModularGrid

Super sweet rack!! Ever considered getting some multiples to split signals, or do you use Stackables? And what exactly are your goals? Are you mainly running external audio/samples from Radio Music through these?


@penrose_riots is a great seller! Super quick, very polite and totally trustable! Had the best package (looked like a bomb) ever!


Hi all, I've acquired half of the modules in this rack (Batumi+Poti, Mangrove, Three Sisters, Cold Mac, Disting, Tangle Quartet and Clouds (on order)) and I think I've got the rest pretty well balanced for my goals. Am I making any Hideous Errors in your opinion?

ModularGrid Rack


Seems reasonable to me! Thanks for all the free grandfathered in large rack glitch riding for the last year! ;-)


1 year Unicorns, thank you all!

I announced the Unicorn Account last September 2014. That was an unrequested feature, obviously, but a necessary one. A lot of users chimed in and showed their support for the ModularGrid. With their hard earned cash, I am very grateful about that. That contribution allowed us to stay independent from investors and keep the platform as open as possible.

A glitch in the matrix

The standard account limits the amount of rack rows you can use. But there were many racks at the time which exceeded that limit already. Those racks could not be resized, but people could still add and arrange modules.

This caused two problems:

  • there is a discrepancy in the code for racks created before and after Sept 04. I want to unify that and get rid of a zillion if and elses
  • it is unfair that new users have to pay for their large racks but the veterans even after a year can glitch through

The unpopular(?) fix

The solution I came up today is to let the old racks behave like the new ones, that is:
you cannot rearrange modules in big racks if you don't have a valid Unicorn Account.

I hope that is reasonable.

Yeah, going the desktop mixer approach is another good option. Definitely the potential for lots of inputs. My friend, Lampeo often uses the OT as a mixer, advantage being that you can incorporate the OT's effects. If you can bus your rack (and anything else) down to work with the OT's 4 inputs, this could be an option.

I'll likely look into some in-the-box (Eurorack) submixing options to keep using my 8 ins on my interface. Using that is nice because it's less bulky than most hardware/mixers/outboard effects. The ABC should do the job for three stereo pairs, I just need to sacrifice being able to treat each output individually.

And yeah, I had't known that Elite wasn't shipping worldwide. Oh man, I feel for you.

Well, wishing you the best with your adventure.


Is it possible to change the order of modules on a manufacturer page? eg: newer modules first?

not possible at the moment

Also a flag for "discontinued" on modules would be nice to indicate those which are no longer being made.
-- kisielk

that will come. production status is high priority ..

thx for the reply !
finally thinking to use a vlz mackie i already got for the mix, gonna be more weight for live but will be a greater use in live and will make me save some money ! also have some md OT and S1 in the mix...

Would like to order a elite 12U too, would like some of those in Europe !! have to go with custom

Wubba lubba dub-dub!


Oh great. Yeah. I see your approach with the SCM + uScale. I love René, she's just currently in a 48hp skiff with Yarns & a mult. I had to make room for a new module that I'm beta testing, so I picked up one of those little Pittsburgh dealies. Looking forward to the new Elite 12U hopefully this October. As for ABC, I like that it's easy to use in either mono or stereo. I tend to run most everything in stereo because Mutable is just so good at it. But really this new iteration of the case is just an experiment (aren't they all?). For the previous "Supermoon" version, I had 8 outs going to my audio interface, and performed all mixing and other effects in Ableton via a Lemur template on my phone. This was a great approach, but now I have more than 8 outs (I love stereo) so I'm still working out how to best approach this.


@tankprofane: i had a closer look at the Gabotronics xProtolab scope and think it might be possible to hack it for 4 logic ins and 4 logic outs. adding divider/multiplier functions there would be awesome!
could you do that??


When you have the time, I'd love to see all the silver versions here. They look great.


I'm going pretty near your previous version with rené,
Are you happy of the ABC bastl mixer ? looks really nice in hp for that kind of setup

just posted a 1HP, 1U filler panel. i think i will throw one in with the trace logic 1234 in case people only want 4 logic inputs. thanks for pointing me down that path!

nice! 1u1hp want :)
