thanks....
The mention of Rebirth and Reason is a way of saying I've been messing around with music from the mid/late 90's, I never hinted that they would be of any benefit to starting Modular. They are certainly not detrimental.

I've already been doing the VCV thing as it seemed sensible before I bought anything, and its shown me that I don't want an all-singing-all-dancing module, I'd agree with darkblooCV above that simple is best.

First off I wanted to ensure I had some Stereo Output so the Intellijel Mixup, then 2hp verb cos thats stereo too so I can get a bit of simple stereo field from the limited cash and modules, Pluck makes some lovely sound so I want that to be able to spit out something vaguely ordered (2hp Euclid, I can currently trig the Euclid from TR08/09 and use Pitch CV for notes from the SH01 and have it play along in the fills), eventually Quantised with a 2hp Tune and then push that through a bit of reverb and delay (delay will be Erica Pico DSP).

At this point its simply adding a new voice to the mix with the Roland Boutiques.

Then the plan after that is to start looking at Clocking, Clock Dividers, Mults, VCA/s, LFO, maybe a Random Gate source again another 2hp, then a couple more voices and how to start bringing it all together Like you say, the important-yet-boring. Power-wise it looks like the TipTop uZeus will have me covered with the addition of another Flying bus cable for the moment.

I'll go back and edit my dumb-ass question at the start and just say 'hi' instead;-)

Sounds pretty good advice, I'll restrain myself on eBay! (even if some stuff is what i want to end up with eventually)
the 2hp Pluck, Bell and Vowel are all full voice modules, I think these sounds get me fairly close to where I want to be, I've atched enough Youtube vids to think so at least.

Cheers

Here you go...
Its a work in progress, the stuff to the RH side finishing at the TM is whats in my rack now, the oher bits are waiting for spare funds etc

A little preamble...
I've played around with music gear for years, started way back with Rebirth 338, had samplers and bits of gear etc, Stayed with Reason since the start, always for fun.

Starting my modular journey now after getting back into the Roland Boutiques, I kinda liked the idea of a Hardware ReBirth 338!
My plan is to build a kinda generative modular rack that fills the gaps around the TR08 / TR09 / TBo3 & SH01, I just sold my Korg Volca Bass as I just don't get along with its sequencer, at some point I will get a Beatstep which could have fixed the Korg but hey!
Its really tempting on ebay when you see a module you fancy come up at a good price but its all too easy to get carried away and not get to my goal of heading somewhere generative to compliment and expand on the Synth gear I already have.

So whats best?
Buy the ebay deals or hold out for my plan?
There's so much good gear out there!!!!

Yeah, its a random first post! Hi.
