@noodle_hut: Thanks for the suggestion. The assimil8or does look like a do it all sampler, but i fear that all those options are hidden behind a good amount of menu diving. I would like some more immediate control over the sounds, like on the STS. Besides, the used price is about as high as what i want to spent total.

The Beringer 173 would mostly be used for trigger gates or other logic related patching. If i understand it right, passive mults are a problem because of signal degradation/feedback?

@ferran_RMBL: That looks like a nice sampler. A display would make slicing alot easier i suppose, yet i would probably miss the direct control of the missing potentiometers. For straight up launching samples, it looks nice. But don't take my opinion for anything but an opinion of a total modular beginner.

Hi,

I am looking forward to building a modular system focused on playing and altering samples. The system will be sequenced by a digitone, which is also handling all of the usual synth voices. I would like the sampler to fill the role of hard to replicate sounds and textures, that i want to manipulate further by other modules. Here is where I stand at the moment:

1. O_C 4.1 for midi to cv and everything that is missing (lfo, simple envelopes. quantization).

2. Behringer 173, Math clone and a 4 channel VCA for further envelope generation, attenuation or sequencing the sampler (module recommendations welcome)

3. 4ms STS for sample playback. I want to create a patch that uses playback speed, direction, pitch and sample selection for interesting sounds/rhythms and then switch to a different bank and be surprised by new and probably bad sounding audio. I think the STS fits nicely and will be at the core of everything.

4. Some kind of filter would go here to further shape the output. I am open to suggestions, as I really have no idea what is needed here.

5. At the end I would like some kind of mixer with line in and line out, so that I can route the final sound from digitone back into the system and record it with the STS. Does a module like this exist, or do I need multiple modules?

Here is the link to the rack:

I would love to hear some feedback on all of this. Is this enough to get started with sampling fun?
