BUG REPORT: "PRIVATE" MODULES

Modules tagged as "private" are visible to anyone. If the tag is not meant to mean "this is hidden from anyone but the module's creator", this should be made clear, otherwise that's a bug that should be fixed.

The issue came up here: http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1747830#1747830

It's also not clear (at least to me) why "private" and "duplicate" are combined into one tag.

Hi!

Well we should have something to inform us of how many HP we have free on our racks and when you hover your mouse over a free space it should input the amount of HP free on the space! That would rock and would make my life much easier!

This idea was requested some time ago. I think it would be cool, but it is not that easy to do.
I will look into this again ...

Btw payed today Unicorn account and I'm more than happy to maintain ModGrid alive 4ever :D

Thanks a lot!

Btw. that is not exactly what you want to see but as a workaround:
the Data Sheet sums up all your used HPs in your rack...

Picked up MI Ripples today. Such a lovely filter :)

Wow...

Just checked the SE website but no info there yet, so I'm really curious what this is going to cost...

One of these and a 4075...drool...

Thanks alot for the feedback guys!
Yeah definitely I need a VCA, I was considering that too awhile "studying" the matter :-)
As I said this is a dummy configuration for me and infact I wasn't sure about the sequencer and the ADDAC804,
so maybe I'm changing those to gain additional space for a VCA.

A-155 is a cv/gate sequencer with the possibility to generate additional triggers.
The Rack does look like fun, but you are lacking at least a VCA. Also I always like a Quantizer like the A-156 behind the sequencer.

Hello,

Maybe an output module (like Outs from Pittsburgh modular) would be a nice addition, unless one is already in there that I have overlooked? (so you can go from modular levels to line level to connect to your mixer?)

best regards

Hello,

I'm a total newb as well so maybe I'm not judging the A-155 correctly, but it says "trigger" sequencer and not "cv/gate" which makes me wonder what kind of sounds/music you want to make with this...

best regards & good luck

Hello,

I am new to modular synthesis and after doing quite a bit of reading, watching videos, browsing forums etc. I came up with a few ideas that I incorporated into this rack...

I would really appreciate it if some people could give some feedback regarding these ideas, and whether or not there might be better ways to implement them in a rack.

The general idea is to have a good 303-clone but also to have extra sonic options (thinking of x0xi0, FR-777, Acidlab Bombass) available and also some "automated modulations"...

I kept telling myself "acid synth" in order not to let things get too much out of hand (so many interesting modules out there, unbelievable)...

Now, the thing I'm not so sure about...

I thought it would be nice to patch a bunch of sounds (2 oscillators with fm/cv in, noise, lfo, ring mod, audio divider) and run them through a mixer, then run the mixer's output into vcf - vca etc... (even thinking of normalling each mixer input channel to its own dedicated headphone jack so you could listen to patches before adding them to the mix)...

Does this make any sense at all? And would it indeed yield at least some of the sonic possibilities of the desktop synths I mentioned earlier? And would it be possible to create intentional feedback loops, e.g. run dinsync osc303 triangle out into acidlab m303 vco vc in, then run acidlab m303 vco out into dinsync fm in, then run dinsync saw out into acidlab m303 vcf in from where it's normalled to vca...or would this make the modules melt or overload or perhaps even create a wormhole? (lol)...

By the way, I do realise some multiples/mixers are needed (for splitting lfo? one used as audio source and its twin mixed into the gate signal?)

I'm looking forward to your thoughts and comments as I'm sure I can learn a lot from them.

It's this http://cdn.modulargrid.de/img/racks/modulargrid_140359.jpg rack...

A Voltage Memory housed in a dedicated 30HP wooden box.
Can be built with 1/8 or banana jacks (with ground jack).
Powered by a 9-12v wallwart.

Just got mine a few weeks ago but already loving it so much. I'm very much interested in using my modular as a live instrument for experimental soundscapes and drones, and the 601 really made my synth infinitely more flexible.

Voltage Memory is the perfect companion for Equation Composer - VM has all the cv/gate that EC needs, and the voltage ranges exactly match.

In this system, VM serves as the programmer / playing surface / patch storage & automatic recall device for EC.
And it is clocking Turing Machine, which is used as rhythm sequencer.
A Sinclastic Empulatrix shapes the amplitude contour for the output of EC.
BD808 and No Drum serve as drum sources in this paticular system.

You can choose whatever rhythm sequencer / drum sources to join the mightly VM+EC combo, which would always form an amazingly versatile little composing / live performance system.

On Voltage Memory :
1) choose a bank;
2) pitch storage on ch1 on top row of 6 pads, zero on ch2;
3) copy values from top 6 to bottom 6 pads;
4) on the bottom pads, adjust ch2 for pitch bend depth, and ch3 for pitch bend speed;
5) repeat steps 2-4 in other banks for more notes;
in manual mode, playing the top pads for different pitches, and lay your finger on the bottom pads for different pitch bends.

set ch4 for delay between 2 triggers.
use ch5 and ch6 to set any other parameters you like.

Experiencing voltage disturbances. Help with module arrangement/power consumption based on my data sheet please..?
This is my actual physical rig. Am I distributing my modules properly ?

Added Malekko Richter OSC II today. Love this raw analog power :)

Wondering if this combination would actually work. Im new to modular synths and would like to make this a real rack if it makes sense. looking to make interesting sounds, drones, bleeps, and sequences.

Biggest question will be: What do you want to achieve with this rack? And to put in some popular quote from Muffwiggler: You can never have enough VCAs

no shit

Tall knob is tall.

Very odd module, strangely designed, but awefully cool and very useful. You can basically sample anything into it and turn it into a wavetable. It tracks fairly well too, I think I've read over 4 octaves or so. Scanning the wavetables while sequencing is just a blast. Sample some field recordings into this thing, and I swear it's going to produce oscillator sounds that you've never heard your modular produce before. It's lo-fi, of course, but terribly versatile, and it sounds good in my ears. Excellent module. Well worth the little money it costs on the used market.

I see. I think there will be a problem with the image resizing.
I once had plans to merge TrueGrid (great blinking lights) and the planner in one application, but this was a little to ambitious.
Will see what time brings

No no I meant on the racks! Wouldn't it be cool to pull up a rack on MG and see all the same slights flashing as in person :)

You want to say something very original and sophisticated, but you don't know what?

Introduce yourself, or say Hello!

Hello

I'm new here

I bit the bullet and bought

All this stuff

Don't really know what I'm doing

Having fun though!

Available for order: http://nw2s.net/product/nw2s-io/

For the record, the ones on the top rack were loaners from a friend.

Any experts have advice on if this combination of modules is missing anything important?

Mutant BDrum installed. Noise session ensued with the intent of "getting to know the rig".. :)

Hello
What do you think of my rack? This goes together with a a-100 sys of 3 rows.

WMD SSM and Basimilus Iteritus installed today. Lots to wrap the head around here.

You need a "Unicorn" Account to make larger systems now. This is a small fee that helps support the site and allows it improve. Well worth it...

8? I can't get anything more than 4!! How do I get to 8?

i just got the rosie !! great unit, i am using the fx send- return to send audio to ableton live ( fx )
A and B are being feed by two moddemix units , this way i can plug in a lot of things on the fly
--- with the make noise FX units, your good :)

So I've totally changed my strategy realizing I want to not only process audio, but work from the modular as well. This is my current rack after the change

Picking up a Basimilus Iteritas today from the muffwiggler store. Drum modules abound!!

Rack Data Sheets

At the power consumption stats under your Rack you find a link to the Data Sheet.
It's a spreadsheet like table with all modules in your Rack.

• You can see instantly which power specs are missing (a click on the questionmark leads to the edit form)
• You can sort the columns to find the widest, deepest and most power consuming module.
• You can see power consumption per row

Initial session after installing SSF Propagate, enjoy the sounds:

& some echophon meanderings :

Added TTA MixZ mainly for fx routing within the case so outboard mixing is streamlined. Things are shaping up nicely. Been a year now.

You can not upload any images to the forum, but you can already embed gifs via markdown syntax.

Hey, this is a nice idea. This may come but not very soon.

Checking incomplete power consumption specs

This feature adds a warning in Rack view under the power consumption stats, if modules of a Rack have missing power specs.

Display missing values

All power related values are displayed in the Popover so it's easier to find what is missing.

New Module field "is passive"

To exclude passive modules like mults from the incomplete power consumption alert they can be flagged as a passive module.

Added SSF Propagate to the case today :) what a fantastic module! livened everything up! especially Rene.

You have a new bill from Satan.
You gonna pay it punk, or do I have to eat your ancestors?

Low frame count .gifs are pretty tiny in file size, it would be really cool to add support for this to give some modules a little bit of life on the grid.

The first steps I am planning so far. Comments esp. by people who already connected Microbrute with an Eurorack are welcome.

I am pretty envious of this rack

Hi
This is my intended rack so far (might consider splitting the E560 to individual modules relevant to the effect for more depth). I am looking for suggestions on adding to this. Only modules that offer something psychedelic and sound sources are not needed as I'll be using a Virus Ti through my DAW. All suggestions welcome.
Thanks

Screaming in the key of EVIL,
I noticed that your mind was slightly askew

Notes: The two outputs from Optomix are panned hard L/R for stereo panning.
The output from echophon is mixed center. The output from moddemix is processed with reverb (erbeverb) and mixed stereo
