If you own a GVCO you might be able to help.

So, if I feed a sequence into the volt/octave input that consists of the “C” major scale ie: C D E F G A B C
it will play that back just fine. However if I turn on the VCO’s built in quantiser, set to chromatic, it plays back C sharp D E F G A B C.
I have calibrated the VCO so it’s not that. I’m completely baffled as to why the first C in the scale is sharp.
Is my module faulty or are they all like this?

Don't hate me for being Behringer's b1tch at the moment... I'm a hobbyist dad on a budget.
Here's my rack so far. I don't have the Four Play module yet (awaiting resupply) and the 2HP Tune is in the mail. Excited to play with that when it comes. I also have a Dual VCA module I use for now but is not shown here.
I still have some HP left after those for some cool stuff in the future.
I've been playing with these modules combined with the Arturia MiniBrute 2 and Behringer Neutron and getting some really fun stuff out of it. I'm mostly doing horror drones, industrial and bass dub beats, trip hop and playing around building melodies here and there but there's so much to discover. I'm having a ton of fun putting a few odd songs together.
My big issue at the moment is I would like to sample and loop on the fly but I gotta save up for a more expensive module. Considering saving for a 1010music bitbox to cover that.
Cheers!

It may be buggy then. I'll see if I can find a reproducible scenario.

That's a recent change right? Just checked and it indeed seems to work. Great, I used to literally always dismiss the manufacturer info.

I looked it up, it was commited

But there is always the chance that it is not working right in some browser or a code regression, so report if you have issues.

Similarly, I also wouldn't mind by default hiding the manufacturer info panel either ( which shows up above search results when the manufacturer is set in search criteria).

This should already work. If you hide the manufacturer info panel it is saved in the user pref and should be restored even after a new login on a differen tcomputer.

Buchla a mess? Did recently someone looked in the pedals section?

2. Who is going to do the actual work? (Knut has a day job or two and can't be bothered)

Please bother me anytime, if I can fix stuff I do it. I just have little knowledge about Buchla.

3. What about DUPLICATEs? People are making very poor new module entries because they don't know how to use the Marketplace. Or do not care to.

Moderators can merge duplicates or what is even easier just unlist/hide them, so only the uploader can see them.

4. 'Manufacturer Approved' lock. Even if you know/mean better, you can't. https://modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/13163)

Under the Approved stamp is a link where you can send a message to the manufacturer and tell him he should unlock or update the data.

I will unlock modules where the manufacturer is out of business. Someone has to tell me which manufactureres that are.

Show Blank Panels setting is stored in the DB

If you check/uncheck Show Blank Panels in the modules search form the change is saved in the database. Next time you log in this will be used as default value so you don't have to hide them every time.

Searched the forums but couldn't see anyone asking this - also didn't see in the settings either. Is there any way to turn off the blank panels by default?

New feature: Show Blank Panels setting is stored in the DB

If you check/uncheck Show Blank Panels in the modules search form the change is saved in the database. Next time you log in this will be used as default value.
Edge Case: if someone messages you a link to a search result with blank panels that will override your setting, else you would not see the panels.

That's right KNYST, it's a big mess and not just about Buchla stuff. Not sure if this can be solved at all. Inconsistency is a trait of the human condition, I guess, and module entries are made by many humans.

An number of questions come to mind:

1. Who is going to decide how things are 'right'? (I find myself having different views over time)
2. Who is going to do the actual work? (Knut has a day job or two and can't be bothered)
3. What about DUPLICATEs? People are making very poor new module entries because they don't know how to use the Marketplace. Or do not care to.

How do you connect your 11-ish audio outputs to your two line-outs??

I am chasing the specific sound that Noise Engineering modules provide so I am willing to pay premium for it.
-- ModeB

Fair enough, I get that :-)

I would suggest the inclusion of a Voltage Block or the excellent Neo Trinity from Bastl, the NE voices start shining once fed with heavy modulation.
Also, there's a stereo solution for line out offered by Intellijel which is slightly more HP efficient I think.

Hope this helps, best of luck for your musical project !

$2,300 is a lot for a one drum/one oscillator/one filter system.
-- noodle_hut

Agreed, however I am chasing the specific sound that Noise Engineering modules provide so I am willing to pay premium for it.

In terms of the filter/fx/modulator/VCA that I have currently picked, these are probably unnecessarily large/expensive for a rig this small. Open to suggestions :)

Hi all,
I've had my fun with standalone analogue synths and am looking to begin my eurorack journey.
I am looking to build a setup to be used for live performance and studio recording of hypnotic techno/groove.
My current studio setup is centred around using my elektron digitakt 2 for drums, sampling, midi sequencing and arrangement.
I intend on using my digitakt paired with the Mutant Brain to handle all my clocking and sequencing, therefore my ideal modular setup is only to be used as a synth voice and rhythmic noise generator.

I have linked my current idea below, any and all feedback appreciated!

EDITED Nov 19th, 22:52

Hello to anyone interested,

I have changed the Buchla modules and clones (Buchla format) to something more consistent.
An example:
Modules made by Buchla (or clones of their output) should be named "Model 123" etc, followed by "Sequential Voltage Source" etc. This way, we can sort them by name and actually find all modules listed of an individual model number.

There are quite a few duplicates. I have taken care of a few as of now...
Another problem is all the CBS and San Francisco Tape Center modules - what to with these? They are in fact Buchla modules, but they are all over the place; some listed as Other/Unknown and some as Buchla.
Same goes for many clones: LA67, I Must Scream, R (RomanF), etc. These front panels are sprinkled everywhere among the listed modules. A huge mess.
If you care, give me some input on your thoughts about it all.

Thanks,

oh yeah, absolutely that’s why I edited my previous post added the last sentence saying "having to turn off option at settings page instead of by account default"

Because there are people who actually runs a company just doing replacement panels. Removing their visibility would affect their business.

i mean it could even be a unicorn account feature.

EDITED Nov 18th, 17:52

I can see both sides of this for the sake of manufacturers, if there is to be a default it should be either Both boxes ticked or both boxes Unticked, so we have Show Other/Unkown and Blank Panels.
There is honestly more interesting stuff in having Show Other/Unkown Ticked than the Blank Panels.

I wouldn't mind this option either.

Similarly, I also wouldn't mind by default hiding the manufacturer info panel either ( which shows up above search results when the manufacturer is set in search criteria).

Saving whatever the user chose last could also make sense for these items.

Hello,

I'm looking for beta testers for 2 modules I've been working on.

The first is a clock module ( roboDNA Pulse ) which is a master clock and allows creating and saving complex clock configurations for up to 12 devices. You can label which device connects to which clock and save to EEPROM, cloud or local store so complex setups can be easily re-patched. I have a full iOS/iPAD control suface in the Apple App store and it also has a web browser app via USB. It has an API so can be controlled via Javascript in the browser or from other microcontrollers via SPI, MIDI or USART. It does sub-divisions/polyrythms, up to 4 sub-divisions per each of the 6 clocks. All the control surfaces ( MIDI, web browser, iPad and hardware control panel ) are all synced using a packet protocol ( roboDNA Double Helix ) which can traverse bluetooth, wifi, ethernet, rs485 etc. The modules can be chained and auto-addressed via a 3 wire and the protocol. Each module has 6 clock with 2 output for each. ( 12 clock output total ) It has bluetooth for studio/home and USB for live connections.

There are several other features baked-in and have the full user guide and API Reference guide at https://roboDNA.com

I'm not a musician and am looking for real-world feedback to compliment the simulations I'm running for testing. I realize not many mucisicans require all those clocks and clock features, but hoping I can find some here. If anyone is interested in helping BETA test, please PM me.

P.S. I also have a sequencer module ( roboDNA Sequence ) which is my main project and will need BETA testers for that as well.

Thank you

Superb!

Maths sure takes up a lot of room.

Monsoon + Disting might be a challenge to control using what's there.
When I've run them in serial, the details turned mushy and high end gets lost,
but I like that dual filter. It works well as a mixer with three inputs on each filter,
so maybe those three will be interesting together.

The usual next step, the boring things; active mults, attenuator/offsets, CV mixers,
maybe a quantizer if you're doing note-ey stuff.

That set should be fun.

EDITED Nov 16th, 17:27

Looking for advice on my first rack. I put a lot of thought into it but I'm still very confused until I get hands on with this stuff, so I am seeking advice/opinions.

So far I own Maths, Monsoon and Beehive. I will be sequencing externally and can get drums externally but I did add the Expert Sleepers to the build for drums in a pinch and also the many other things it can do. I'll probably be using my polyend tracker for drums and sequencing via midivolts 4 channel cv/gate and clock output. I also have a few other things I could use if needed but I love my tracker and would be the preferred device.

My end goal is to have something to make spacey ambient stuff, and sounds and melodies I can sample for hiphop and electronic music production.

I have a B2600 I will be using with the rack for a while as I build up my collection.

I am getting my amp and mixer next. What modules should I be looking to get afterwards?

I would like to expand to a 6u build at some point.

I just received mine. When I plugged it up, it was making a hideous screeching noise. But in less than a minute, just playing with the knobs (not even knowing what they did), I had it making a beautiful dreamscape. This is my new favorite module and I think I might create a 3u /104 hp system just supporting it.

Has anyone processed external audio? That's my next adventure.

This module is awesome!

Yeah, I have Delta-V in there because I didn't have any module in mind at the moment. They definitely overlap. I like Maths better, and it'll be the one that stays, even though it takes up more HP. If I had at least the V2 of Delta-V that might have won over Maths, though, since that would have a sum out, as well.

I was thinking of adding in Ornament & Crime with the Phazerville firmware in place of Delta-V. It adds a lot of utility and modulation, imo.

I do like the A-118 for noise, but could probably get better use of the HP and get noise for cheaper. 8HP for a noise generator is quite a bit, and I can reduce that to 2HP.

Thanks for the suggestion on Clouds. I know the FX Aid does grains now, but I really do love the distortion and sample rate reduction on FX Aid in addition to grains. I have the modules already, so I'll give it a shot with removing Clouds from the chain and see how that works out for me.

If I do get rid of Clouds and with the savings of space from the A-118 to a smaller noise generator, that would give me enough room for Marbles (or at least Pachinko).

I'll probably be using my Digitakt for the majority of the drums at this point, though. Even though I've been using my KeyStep as my main sequencer and leaving the Digitakt out of it.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm already making some changes and gives me a bit of thinking to do with a couple of other modules I could swap.

Just a short note that RackDocs 1.4 is now approved by Apple, and it comes with some requested features and changes:
- Three new annotation types have been added!
1) Fader for linear slide controls with optional LED illumination support
2) Card Slot for documenting SD card slots and sample storage
3) Joystick with full 9-position state documentation covering all eight directions plus center

Then the knob documentation has been enhanced with an "Encoder Type" checkbox to distinguish rotary encoders from regular knobs. Encoders now display with a distinct icon and are properly labeled throughout the app, which is particularly useful for modules with pushable encoders for menu navigation.

All icon designs have been refreshed for better visual clarity.

By the way, the last version 1.3 brought beautiful export and sharing features for Cheat Sheets.

As always, feedback is more than welcome. If there are annotation types or features you'd like to see, let me know.

Hi,
First of all, I love these modules.

But for me, Maths and Delta are unnecessary. I'd choose one of the two.
I don't understand what you're going to use Doepfer A-118 for? Just as a noise source?
I'd also remove Clouds, even though I love it. With Mimeophon and FX Aid, you have enough effects. In that space, I might put Marbles to add some randomness for both modulation and triggers.
Best regards,

Delta V and Maths overlap?
Do you have enough modulation?
Is this rack for drums? or does that come from the digitakt?

Hi all. I'm fairly new to modular and only got started about 8 months ago and I've gotten to the stage where I'm starting to really figure out what's working for me, and where I need to swap and acquire new modules to fit what I want.

I put together this rack for what I think will work for me for my more industrial-leaning IDM focus, but not know what I don't know, do you think there is something here that doesn't work so well or that can be replaced by a better module? Do I have too much overlap? Not enough of something? I'd really love the advice of those of you who have more experience than I do.

I sequence externally using an Elektron Digitakt or an Arturia KeyStep. I also send CV and Clock info from those, as well.

Thanks in advance.

Would it be possible to add a separate function of "Replacement Panel" that is treated as a blank panel for the "show/hide blank panels" option but is specifically distinct from "Blank Panel"? This way things like Audio Parasites/Mork Modules/et al. replacement panels don't flood searches for regular blind panels.

I second this request. It's a bit much to have every single semi-popular module pop up again and again with alt panels.

Hi! I was rehearsing for Club Synth this Saturday in Ruigoord, Amsterdam. It’s a techno set, a genre I don’t play very often.My camera was still set up from my previous session, and things were going well, so I thought: why not hit record? This video is the result — completely spontaneous.It’s a different style than people usually hear from me, but I enjoy exploring these danceable directions, and I’m curious what you think. This Saturday I’ll play a full hour of live modular techno together with Estroe. With her many years of experience as a techno DJ, I’m in very good hands and I’m really looking forward to it.
