On the detail page of the module you should find a link Edit Module (top right).
For now I have unlisted the module.

I’m relatively new to the modular world and currently I’m looking for a starter system to begin my adventure. Since I know something about analog synthesis, but nog being a real tech head, I'd like to go for a pre-configured system with some room te expand.

With that in mind, this Doepfer A-100 Mini System appealed to me:

http://www.dv247.com/keyboards-and-midi/doepfer-a-100-mini-system--210720

This system meets my budget and it seems to contain some essential modules. I’ve searched around the Modular Grid forums but couldn’t find any topic about this particular system.
I’m wondering if there are people out here that have bought this system or have build a system similar to this one. Apart form that, I’d like to know what you experienced modular heads think about it.

Would this be a wise choice in my case and is it good value for money?

Thanks in advance.

I submitted Synthrotek Combine OR module. Being a noob, I realised AFTER I sbmit the picture that it was not suitable to be used in the racks.
How can I correct that?
I edited a pic so it should be OK now but I don't want to add a thiord instance of this module....

Hey there!
I'm quite new too in the modular world too, but if you want to use your effects pedal you need an attenuator and an amplifier, to reduce the signal from the modular and then to re-amp it from the pedals, there are thousands of different modules and some of them are made especially for using guitars pedals (es. Malekko SND\RTN).

Hope it's clear enough and it will help you!

Hi guys

I'm trying to set up my first rack and could need some advice. I own an Arturia MiniBrute which I would like to use as keyboard.
I also own a few FX pedals (MemoryBoy Delay, Freeze, Phaser, Flanger), that's why I don't have any FX in my rack yet.
I'm planning on buying the Doepfer A110LCB which has enough space for a start and can be expanded easily.

I tried to chose parts that have more than one function and/or make sense when adding modules in the future.

Right now it consists of the following elements:

Inetllijel Dixie 2 VCO/LFO
Bastl Instruments Skis Dual Delay / VCA
Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter
Doepfer A-140 ADSR
Manhattan Analog Three Channel Mixer

With the case included I could stay right under a thousand bucks, but I'm sure I forgot something crucial or did something that makes no sense. :)

Here is my rack:

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Cheers

The music in this video was created using the Qu-bit nebulae, mutable instruments braids and the Make Noise STO.
Also Roland TR8
And effects pedals

use the S&H on the cv in on the LPG or VCO

those links didnt work
look for raul's world of synth and divkid on youtube a good resource to learn from

no worries
check out this youtube chanel lots of vids to learn from

and great demos on this one

Nice one!!
I followed your advice and couldn't quite get the random effect. I then put the signal through the LPG, adjusted the Mod, Freq & Resonance and BINGO!!
Trial and error, but that's cool with me. All part of the fun of it.
Thank you very much for the nudge.
I'm glad you added the "i.e feed it a square wave" bit. Wasn't quite sure what clocking an input meant.

Cheers MarsFace!!

hi i dont have the toolbox but just had a look at it,all you need to do is clock the h input i.e feed it a square wave

Ultima Ratio as a Waveshaper

If you put the envelope outputs of the Ultima Ratio into an audio mixer and feed in an audio rate square as clock in the UR behaves like a pretty ugly dual digital Oscillator/Waveshaper.
You can adjust the waveform to a small degree with the Envelopes Attack and Release knobs.
The knob for Clock Divider 2 will adjust the pitch of the second "oscillator", so you can set musical intervals.
E.g. ratio 1:12, boom, octaver ...

Hi. Can someone tell me how to get that random S & H effect out of my Pittsburgh Toolbox?
I've got a PB Synth Box, Mix Mult, Toolbox and Outs in my sweet little set up. Having fun, but could do with a few nudges in the right direction... Thanks, Simon.

That's what I was thinking. I'll probably have to add a Zeus Studio board in addition to the uZeus in my 6U rig now. If the 15 sub module system works as Roland advertises, it will be worth it. It would be like having a modular in a modular.

Another option which I will probably do is to use the Dremora's stock AC adapter and cut a hole in my case for a jack plate and run an extension to it. Here's a 2" diameter jack plate that would work for DIY: http://www.reliablehardware.com/jackplate2diameterblack14jackhole.aspx

At least that's what they post on their website:
http://www.roland.com/products/demora/specifications/

Three of those modules will overload a Doepfer 9U case.
We will read about that in the near future a lot ;)

I know this is a very new entry and it's a hungry digital module, but is the power requirement of 450mA on the positive rail correct?

hi i'm going to build me a modular system .but I do not know much about the different modules in spite of long observation.
I am going to build me a rack with a lot of power complex sounds, ambient noise deep and just noisy sound .. anyway. which modules I still need that I have a system, or can I replace that? there are even better for my module sue .
please help this noob out.thanks in advance

Hi,

Can someone who owns this module let me know if it's as good in the "flesh" as it is on YouTube? It's looks rather special (more so than Clouds for my taste).

Second question - does anyone want to sell a used one? I haven't seen many for sale which must be a good sign.

Cheers.

I had the same issues - sounded great but it just needed more CV inputs and control over the glide.

It was a real shame as the sounds it prodcues are quite unique.

I'd buy one again (for cheap) but this was my main Osc and it didn't really work out for me.

for me DIY MU offers the best "bang for the buck" large panels big knobs.
i am not taking my gear out of the studio any more
- for live i can use a ipad and under 84 hp of eurorack , even that is getting to be overkill

Two of these would work well in your rack:

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/noise-engineering-ataraxic-translatron

Since you're going for sound design, I would skip the Azimuth since panning and stereo width are things that would be more important farther down the signal chain and could be (mostly) duplicated at your mixer. To give you a wider array of sound tweaking (and give you more patching options for your Quadra), I'd replace the Azimuth with an ADE-10 Reactive Wave Shaper. Other than that, looks like a fun set of modules!

The target for this Eurorack is to be a compact SoundDesign/Experimentation lab.
It will be paired and sequenced with an Analog Four.
Analog sound will be managed by other synths and potential drums by a Rytm.

That's my first Eurorack (previous was just and Atlantis+Peaks in a cell[48]).
What do you (modular expert) think?
Any feedback would be be appreciated (probably lots of noob mistake).

DYI option

Do yourself it ? (needs Yoda emoticon)

You can't really count the serge price as a 'module'. A single panel of serge can contain many individual module sections. A couple of oscs, a filter, dusg, mixing, cv processing, etc.

hang on a second, wasn't Serge supposed to be an affordable DYI option back in the day??

YES!!! Brilliant, thanks solitude!

Something like that?

Hello, I'm looking for a controller module that stores and plays back CV. Like DAW automation lane that records its knobs movements and output them to control other modules. I guess a knob sequencer type of thing.
Is there anything like that around?

Damn, that (reversed) is one of the coolest features, hopefully its fixed now...

EDITED Apr 11th 2015, 14:02

Just watch the richter. I used to have one and the 'freeze' aspect in mine never worked right. Instead of locking in a pattern, it would clear and fall back into an ascending staircase pattern. Ive read others complain about this as well.

Oh good I hope the Ritcher one is fine then, I just ordered one...

Couple of reasons.

1) A new smaller, somewhat improved version has recently come out.

2) While its a fun module, there were some issues such as unstable internal clock, general confusion as to how the knobs worked/related to one another.

So, between the draw of something new and shiny coupled with some dissatisfaction has made a lot of people sell it. I've seen them go as low as $150 recently.

Personally, I sold mine because I found a random module that better fit my needs with the SSF URA.

I saw many users selling this module lately. Why is that?!

Some "External" modules have both of these, but many have only one or the other. It would make my life easier if I could look only for modules that have both. Thanks!

Looks ok for me. Cache issue? (Hold shift while you click refresh in your browser).

First, this represents an abbreviated set of functions. Second, these are modules I own or have experience with. Since I started with Eurorack, available modules and functional density have gone through the roof. There are probably better modules for each function out there.

I should have stuck in the Eurorack version of the Innerclock Sync-Gen II - probably the single most important modular piece I own for tracking into a DAW. (That and the indispensable Roland SBX-1 that distributes it all and functions as live sync....).

Except for the 95e analog oscillator, I did not count anything from my 24U "pure Asys" modular, a Moog Voyager CP system, and Ken MacBeth system with 3 Single Oscillators and a Backend. I did not count my Boomstars either. And they are kick ass machines with CV/Gate I/O. Nor did I count my Dark Time - another desert island piece - or any external cv sequencers.

The problem with a lot of ocsillators is lousy-goosy tuning knobs. One little bump while patching and you're screwed. The 95e - besides being one hell of a great analog oscillator - has a locking 10-turn pot. And for a digital oscillator - the Braids (and pretty much anything Mutable makes) continues to amaze me.

My favorite contemporary module maker is Mutable. But I have to say that Grant Richter's classics still go head to head with a lot of stuff out there. The envelator is a good example of that. I added one as my LFO. For uncertainty and so much else I dig the Noisering.

WMD's Multimode VCA is everything I could want in a VCA - it eliminates tons of other stuff, it's clean, and easily makes interesting stereo out of a mono signal. The Cwejman ADSR is always the output VCA EG I go to first. Suit n Tie's Post-Lawsuit filter is the most non-skiff-friendly module I own. (Nothing a couple trips to the hardware store can't fix...) But I'll forego all others to have it in my rack. That said - I'd def like to hear the Euro versions of Boomstar filters...

I don't MIDI my modular much anymore. But MIDI In/Out and Audio In/Out would go to Vermona. Built like a fricking tank - they ooze quality. They cost as much as a tank as well....

I love Makekko's little 8NU8R. Attenuator, voltage source, half wave rectifier, and probably something else as well.

For logic - if Intellijel's Ploq doesn't do it then tell me what does. I don't know what I'd do without Division VI's back-routable buffered mults in 2 and 3hp. But my favorite is WMD's 4hp 3x buff mult.

That's my story so far and I'm sticking to it. If I could do one thing over again I would have gone Buchla on day one. Other than that - I would have waited a few more years before getting in to Eurorack. Now is definitely a great time to be starting out in modular!

The end game for this 6U rig is a fully loaded, dual-timbral/dual-voice synthesizer. I'm omitting sampling, sequencing and discrete percussion modules in favor of CV & audio modulation. Those functions will be taken care of either externally or in my next 6U rig.

The SynthTech E350 and the Neutron Sound Orgone Accumulator are my two primary timbre modules. NoiseRing, Dr. Octature II, PEAKS, and Sallen Key Filter are all capable sound sources, but in most patches I employ these as modulators. I use Intellijel Hub mults and Koma attenuator cables to save HPs.

In this rig's current state the A-135-1 VC Mixer has become a go-to module. I run the XY and Z outs of the E350 and the Main and PW outs of the Orgone into it and I get some unique multifaceted sounds, especially when all four VCAs are gently modulated. Dr. Octature will give me even more power with phase modulation of all four VCAs, in addition to the analog sine wave VCO/VCF.

Tried to update the ADDAC210 image - but final result no better than what was there? Used to be ok - so something has happened.

AntiMatter Audio BrainSeed !!!! :) added.

Need:
clock divider of some sort; perhaps QCD, RCD, G8
MIDI interface: Kenton stuff for syncing modular to MIDI gear; or Hinton Gearbox for syncing both ways (modular to hardware, hardware to modular)

very cool setup

thanks for the info, appreciate it

i was just wondering what the difference was if any, trying to free up some space and felt its redundant to have both

i bought a case from MakeNoise with the CV Bus but have only used it for patching purposes not the line out to my Apollo

didnt understand the single 1/4" out till recently

had a custom cable made for me so i should be able to test it out personally soon

thanks again

Whoa that sounds interesting! I use a Boss BX-8 to submix my Airbase99 and it can add nice crunch but nothing creamy ever. Nice rack and thank you for the info, appreciate it.

I've got a some vintage Korg and Novation rack synths that I route through a rack-mounted stereo line mixer. From there, an 8-channel snake runs over to my mixing desk that controls all my outboard sound gear and connects to my DAW.

My modular is inserted on a stereo pair between the rack mixer and the desk mixer.

To make that work, I needed balanced stereo ins/outs, so I went with a Vermona TAI-4. Shortly after I got it, I discovered that overdriving those transformers adds such creamy distortion to those vintage synths, that I fell in love with that Vermona module. Glad I spent the money.

This is my current modular setup. In the future, I'll be adding several more filters, reverb/chorus, and more modulation options.

Thanks! I don't use any sounds off the TR-626, theyre so awful, but I love how it for sequencing an Airbase99 and also a SoundCanvas-55 (very nice 808 kit and of course any other GM drum sound). I'm totally happy with the DrumDokta2, got into it this weekend and its so alive and has great controls and sequencer functions. Always have loved the DR-110 sounds but this machine is incredibly better than that original.

Do you have any need to mixers or attenuators to throw outboard gear into your modular FX?
