Monotrail Tech Talk channel on youtube is also a good source for learning.

I prefer his style of teaching with visual flow charts over others because I'm a visual learner.

Worth a look.

Best of luck!!

-Midi sync clock from ableton to pams works well with the nifty case.

-Mimeophon + Sealegs is also a nice combo.

You could use Mimeophon as dedicated looper device or wild feedback generator.
And the Sealegs for saturation and delay or a kind of endofchain processing.

-Ikarie is also nice, it adds gain with a kind of smooth drive besides the filter.

-You may consider to add a mixer and more attenuation
like a matrix mixer or a mixer with send/return.
mixer modules like Cosmix Pro or ALA Bartender have send/return - but are also large in hp.
a matrix mixer may work also.

-You could add atenuation- and polarizer modules like: Befaco Attn, Lapsus Os, acid rain junction,

-also a small compressor like Wmd Mscl could be nice

-The nifty has no stereo out - so you have to find a solution - if you want stereo out.
even a Befaco Outs could work.

-Mimeophon can transform mono input to stereo outs

Greetings

Chris


you can simply turn on/off the stereo fx on mim. Also if you only patch the L input it basically outputs stereo. Generally stereo eurorack audios are normalled to L input if you don't plug the R.

Also just saw this video thought you might find interesting. he talks about mimeophon and as well as some other fx'es.


Thread: BIA = Techno

Good stuff.

Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.

Thread: BIA = Techno

The legendary BIA is doing kick, bass, snare, percussion, and synth waaaaas.
It gets some help from Bastl Crust on the "melody".
This is one improvised take, no edits, a little work on the levels in the DAW afterwards.
The rack is here: ModularGrid Rack but I'm not using the filter, or skis, or disting, or either of the switches.

Outside the rack is a Beatstep Pro which is the main sequencer, and the Bastl Drum Kastl and Thyme which are doing backgr0und sounds.


Thanks for the heads up, I also noticed that the output is mono and I for sure want a stereo output with fx.

I'm gonna watch more videos about the mims, but at this point I wonder if it does make sense to combine it with a multieffect module like Radiant, maybe it gets too much "smeary" sounding.


Oh I didn't knew you were thinking to get nifty case. Tbh I don't have one but checking on the manual it says this;

Q. The output on the rear of the NiftyCASE is very high is this normal?
A. The rear output simply passes the level input from the “to-out” on the case. It doesn’t
attenuate the signal at all. If the level is too high you should consider adding a VCA,
mixer, or other changes to bring down the signal level prior to plugging into “to-out”

and

Q. Is the out balanced or unbalanced?
A. It’s unbalanced (just like us)

So looks like it doesn't normalise hot eurorack audio signals to line levels. Oh one tiny thing about modular if you're just stepping in. It's always a great idea to skim through the manuals before commiting to a module. I personally automatically skip modules if they have 100+ pages of manual.

For the mims; yea it does look odd but it's fantastic sounding module. There's a reason why it's all the way top on loopers, repeaters, reverb on modular grid ;) I'm planning to get rid of most of my modules lately but going to keep a few one. Mims was literally the first module that I've got for fx rack and going to keep that one again.


This will be my Matriarch rig if I choose to buy a Moog Matriarch. Flstudio will handle sequencing duties


thank you so much man! So many great suggestions in here.
I like the idea of having the joystick to play live with it and having always different outcomes, so I'll definitely now look into the other one you suggested.

About the normalization is not completely clear to me, cause I know you have to reduce the audio level before going into the soundcard and then ableton but with the cre8audio case (https://www.thomann.de/de/cre8audio_niftycase.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1576042990&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCWv6YBlMVqMU-0JDOokkGOQ2&gclid=CjwKCAiA7LzLBhAgEiwAjMWzCPOqUpDC1rP95Kz67mwm1GdBywdLqNQSYfN1VhSJTSUmdJk8i7JBDxoCKTIQAvD_BwE) I should have already the output with the right volume, correct?

About the delay I was actually thinking between these two but the mimeophon looks even too weird to be used live (just an impression, never tried it), but you totally get the point.

Last thing, I agree with the pedals but let's say that this is also my soft way to step into modular world, I'm also gonna use the modular just for production and not only for live purpose.


If the rack is always going to be hooked to ableton I'd suggest FH-2 instead Pam's. You'd really want to sync clock especally with sealegs. You can sync ableton to pam with https://busycircuits.com/products/alm-pg001 for sure, but you're still going to be bound to the tiny screen on pam while you have an infinite way to control things (ableton). Also less headache tbh, you just hook it up FH-2 with usb and there you go.

For the joystick I'd also suggest you to have a look at planar. It can be also used as a audio/cv mixer, gate trigger and record your expressions. although generally you either wanna use it cv controller or mixer. can't do both at the same time.

As talking about mixers, I'd also suggest to have a look at matrix mixers too. It's a great idea way to route and mix audio. generally they take up quite a space though. 4x mix very is good if you wanna keep things straightforward.

Lastly, you'd need some audio normalisation back into ableton. I wrap up all my audio into HPO if i need a line out. 2hp and just dead simple audio out.

Also mimeophon is a very good alternative to sealegs if you wanna get weird instead of lush. I'm suggesting this as you plan to route your audio from ableton. There are so many (even built in ones) great delays in ableton can sound good as sealegs. I'd say if you're routing to eurorack, I'd get someting weird like mims.

Apart from all these; to contratict myself, if you have a spesific idea what you need, you can always go for pedal fx's as well (which are going to cost wayyyyyy less than eurorack). Pretty much you can get a single pedal for each module you've put there. I'm talking about expensive ones like chase or hologram ones.

Good luck with the hunt :) Let us all update what you've decided.


Thanks! And thank you for the heads up about the depth of the modules, actually I didn't think about that.
Also, if you have any other suggestions for delays would be cool.


If this were me...

I would look into more LFOs and/or function generators for sure, but I would also look into modules that kinda take one or two inputs and turn them into lots of related outputs. In addition to the Multimod mentioned above, examples include:

  • Mystic Circuits ANA 2
  • WORNG Vector Space
  • Ritual Circuits Anima or other shift registers
  • Black Noise Cosmos
  • Nonlinearcircuits Let's Splosh

The latter two can be found for free on VCV Rack if you want to play with them. A related but slightly different approach is a joystick module, which is not only just fun in general, but is usually another really interesting way to engage with the modulation you have in a broader, stranger sense.

A quantizer might be good here as well. That way, you can kinda just throw whatever in there and see what melodies come out, and it also gives you more options in terms of creating unique sequences by having your pitch and gate information come from separate sources.

This is a little crazy. but you could always try a module like the ES-8, ES-9, or Boredbrain Optx v2 (if you already have an interface with lots of channels and ADAT) and experiment with a hybrid setup as well (hardware and software modules). Even if it isn't permanent, it may provide some new ideas and let you use some modules you weren't considering before. An interface with DC-coupled outputs will let you send modulation from the computer as well as audio, allowing for full integration of the two sides of your setup.

It seems like you have plenty to work with, but these are my suggestions for how to spice things up.


What do you think about this setup for for making Alessandro cortini/NIN inspired music?
-- drusken

Looks great! You just need to find a way to get all those Behringer modules out of the rack.


What else do you use to make music?


how do you think this is going in a Cortini / NIN direction?
I dont get it.

maybe better get a MN Strega instead.

Greetings

Chris


Hey Wiktorion,
Thanks for the reply. I am have quite a bit of gear that I am parting out and consolidating, these funds have been funding the synth over the last several years. I posted the current configuration as the last link looked to be from 2016 or so.
I love the MI Clouds/Monsoon. I find myself leaning on it quite a bit. Triple Sloths are alot of fun as well. I feel like I get stuck in a rut sometimes... I'm really just looking for some items for exploration moe than anything.

I am not familiar with the Multimod at all, I'll have to check it out.


Hi all,
What do you think about this setup for for making Alessandro cortini/NIN inspired music?
I would like to have some input here if it is the right way to go...

ModularGrid Rack

Did you want to sync the sequencer with midi in?
You'll need a midi in that supports it and the v/oct and trigger from midi.
Do you need two note and trigger outs from midi, or just one set?
Do you need this box to be able to send midi out too?

This arrangement could make things easier.
Input and signal generation on the left. A multiple between to share those signals. Voices to your output on the right.
I moved the power supply to be better out of the way of patch cables.
The 110 needs those two envelopes, so I kept it nearby.
The 2600 vco doesn't have a vca, but you could put it into the 110's 2nd vcf input.
The 121 filter at the end lets you tame and shape your final output,
but also gets you a 3 x 2 mixer to combine your audio generators,
or blend the 2600 vco's vaveforms.

I kept the CU1A output, but it's kind of terrible.
You have to power it from the USB-C input, it's not hooked to the power supply.
So with no usb input power, there's no output audio and no headphones.
Just a dumb design. Nothing but trouble.
(and the 921A Oscillator Driver isn't applicable here)

I added the 903A random because there was a 4hp hole,
and it's cheap, and you don't have any random noise fun.

If you want the sequencer to track midi in, you'll need an interface that supports midi clock/sync out.
There's loys of them available.

  • -


Cool idea! I like that you're using the joystick. It should allow for some very smooth and interesting changes in texture. I don't see a lot missing so far. Just make sure to double-check the depth on the modules so that they fit inside the case, depth-wise.


hi guys
https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_3001795.jpg
i managed to get a working system plus i fitted a midi to cd adapter at the end
problem is the two peices of hardware ive bough which are :
behringer swing ....this is a nightmare and i sold on just before bonfire night
rd-6 bu : nice but again connection problems
so my question is where to i connect the cables ( using midi ) and were do
any other cables go that are required
my previous post was a great help


Hi there !

Since it hasn't been mentioned here yet, I feel like https://courses.learningmodular.com/courses/basic-concepts should be mentioned, along the Patch & Tweak book, both great resources for beginners I think.

That, and VCV of course, the tool where you can learn by doing... for free :-)

Hope this helps !

--- Voltage control all the things ---


Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for having a moment to respond to a rather disoriented initiate in the field like me! :)

I will use Omri Cohen and Mylarmelodies.

There is a lot of information there.

Thanks again to both!!! Modular01 & Progspiration


Hi everyone, I’m currently planning a compact modular system (84HP) to integrate into my hybrid live setup.
The idea is to use this rack as a main fx chain for the 1 or 2 main synths (from ableton or another external synth, still have to figure it out) and also to use it as return fx (I will map everything on ableton so I can switch between having the full wet synth or just a small amount of the fx).

About the genre is mostly techno so I want some fx which I can play live and improvise but at the same time something interesting to produce also in the studio.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions about the single modules or about how to use it in a more effective way.

I also wanna add that this is my first step into modular world so I'm not gonna buy everything in one take but that's the idea that Im going for to start.

ModularGrid Rack

ps. I'm planning to start with the rack from cre8audio so I have already power and midi in/out integrated.


VOZ: preamp - pico input - planet filter - fx aid -> pico mix
NOISE: se abre y se modula desde maleko -> pico mix
MK4 : radio --> pico mix
PICO MIX: sale para una entrada del mini mix de doepfer
DOEPFER MINI MIX:
-volca sample
-electribe
-mono station
-lo que viene de pico mix.
Hay 2 salidas: clean y otra para BEFACO FILTER

LADIK SEQ: para darle tempo a maleko, así puedo conseguir 3x4, 7x4... (esto es opcional...)

La volca sampler va dentro de la case
El Mono station, puede tener fx de pico dsp
En directo, alterno entre estos modos:
-cancion a): monostation (en modo drums) con volca
-cancion b): electribe con volca
-cancion d): monostation (en plan casi melodico, pero con un patch guapo casi noise, weird...) con noise plethora

Los patterns de electribe, tienen un texto indicando que puedes modular (p.ej. LFO pista 1 "L1", OSCilador pista 2 "Osc2"...)


There are a few ways to go. I'm thinking modulation, I'm thinking processing. Two AFG's should set you up nicely to create all sorts of lovely timbres.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but I think a nice start would be a used Mutable Instruments Clouds. It's great at adding all sorts of textures to a sound. For modulation, there are tons of options, from basic LFO's to more advanced stuff like Make Noise Multimod or the Mutable Instruments Marbles.


Yeah, there's a ton to learn! Another good resource I just thought of is Omri Cohen. He mostly uses VCV Rack which is a free software version of Eurorack. I'd highly recommend watching some of his videos and patching along with him in the software. But yes, VCAs are useful for many things, but their main use is controlling volume of a signal. The fun part in modular is that the signal doesn't need to be audio. You can send an LFO or an envelope or some other form of slower moving voltage and control it with another voltage source so that it has more and less of an effect on whatever parameter you want it to control! And a cascading VCA also works as a mixer. So if you use an output from channel one, just that signal comes out of the output, but if you have inputs on channels 1-4 and only channel 4 output, all the signals come out of one cable!

The standard for cables is TS/mono cables, although the headphone output of that Behringer interface is likely TRS/stereo. The cv/gate outs on the akai are likely TS as well, but I think the audio in is TRS. So I'd recommend a TRS 1/8" to 1/4" cable going from the Behringer headphone out to the Akai audio in


Hi All,
Not really new here, but I do not post much. Im looking to create dark ambient, drone, and generative synth patches... I have had some false starts over the years, but looking for some fresh ideas on how to evolve my current rack.

I use a BeatStep PRO and an SQ-1 at times as well.

Thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


...you mention this cascading quadruple VCA ...So what is that module for? to amplify the output volume of ?...
-- Norz

As @Progspiration already recommended: Mylarmelodies videos are great for learning all kinds of concepts of modular patching! for example this one is about VCA's and how to use them
have fun!


Thank you!
I appreciate the comment, but when you mention this cascading quadruple VCA, I feel like a kid who has no idea what they're telling him. So what is that module for? to amplify the output volume of ? sorry for my absolute ignorance of these concepts. It seems that I have to study a degree in sound engineering to understand how it works. Hence arises my interest in looking for a manual or information where I can learn each of these terms that make up the modules and not go crazy on the odyssey of modular synthesis. I think the problem with my Laniakea is the cable connections. But I understand that it is Akai who controls and not the other way around. From Laniakea I head to Behringer and from there I must head to Akai, but from what hole? the Headphones one?. For the cable gauge you mention, do I need an adapter to connect it to my Akai? Because the Behringer CU1A only accepts 3.5mm head cables, but what type? I thank you for the inconvenience and for recommending Mylarmelodies. I'll take a look at the forums, but there are many!
Greetings


I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for you though, or I'm sorry that happened to you. Looking forward to buying this one if it comes out one day :]


Howdy! I'm sorry your first foret is giving you fits! How are you connecting things? The Laniakea ought to be sending continuous sound, without anything from the akai connected. There's a rich backlog of information both on this forum and over on Modwiggler where you can dig into some primers on different module types. My introduction to the modular world was through the videos of Mylarmelodies which are great!

For now I'd recommend getting a 1/8" to 1/4" cord so you can run the output of the Behringer interface straight into the Akai to see if you can at least get some sounds. I'd recommend a quad cascading VCA (like Intellijel Quad VCA or Mutable Veils style) and some kind of envelope (Maths is sort of the gold standard multiuse modulation source for learning a lot of modular/voltage concepts. Look up the illustrated manual supplement to see all the things it can do!) With just the oscillator, I dont think the akai gates are going to be very useful, but they can certainly trigger envelopes so you could control volume or other parameters in time to what's happening on the akai. Happy patching and I hope you have better luck once it starts making sounds!

would be fancy if it was 10 years ago, now its just the same old gold design with zero innovation with a clickbait to sort by price, i never liked this company from the beginning, look at xaoc, make noise, ssf, and this same old 20hp gold oscillator of the most mundane sounds
-- compviga

Wow. I always thought that if you didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, guess you missed that memo. This company is amazing as are their modules, they are definitely far from "mundane"! I feel sad for you if you can't get that experience in your world view and I hope you find what ever it is you are looking for eventually so you can spend less time dumping on other people's hard (and excellent) work.
I would love to try this module out one day, but I may have to visit Glasgow (again) to do it!
-- Artpunk

It's internet, and I enjoy shitposting so what? And I do it with extensive knowledge in Eurorack. For me, Instruo synths were edgy during 2015, now it's kind of outdated (sampler mono, standalones for OSC Seashell etc), and Instruo prices are hiked up for no reason other than shiny gold panel, and here I see a module with 99.999.9999 as a cheap AD to make Instruo top when you sort modules according to the price, I am not writing about other modules, I am just writing on this module because what is that price tag? I don't see a hard-worked design module here, another bunch of same old design filters with hard to recognize what goes where input/output schematics (for the sake of edgy design, similar to Bastl Instruments nighmare). Check Make Noise New Universal Synthesizer, or even old Rossum 2015 modules, see the difference between quality of design? Yea, I am here complaining about it. Maybe he will read and make better modules.


Hi all, I ended up making a song around a talk by Alan Watts, where he talks about randomness and coincidences.

The song started with an audio sample from Clinamen, an art installation where ceramic bowls of various size float in a large pool, and when they collide they create these wonderful sounds. (Thanks to Kevin Luce and freesound.org.)

I wanted to pair these with a bit more randomness, and created a patch with Pam's Pro Workout, Turing Machine + Pulses, and Rample. It created another layer of random percussion sounds, albeit a bit more frequent than that of Clinamen.

ModularGrid Rack

(The rack where I made all of the drum and bass sounds.)

The bass consists of a couple of sounds as well. One starts with La Reine du Chaos, which goes through a Samvær Under Tilsün LPG, and then through cDVCA for filter and drive. The other bass starts with Collide 4, where the monitor output goes to a Steve's MS-22 for a bit of filtering magic.

I also added some hihats using HATS808 and Mutant Hi-Hats, which is run with a simple sequence from Steppy. The kick is Ultra-Kick, running a sequence from the Oxi One mk1.

There's a bit of textural sounds coming from the Collide 4, going through Rainmaker for some delay magic. It's barely noticeable, but it's there.

All of the sounds in the drum machine is side-chained with Ghost and Scrat. The latter has an especially nasty saturation, which I love to layer with my drum and bass sounds.

ModularGrid Rack

There's a final patch with the Oxi Coral, that is fueled with a generative sequence from the Oxi One. The output of the Coral goes through Oneiroi and Clouds, for various effects. This setup is where I mostly turned knobs to create a bit more variations throughout the talk.

The talk is from a video I found online, which I ran through stem splitting in Ableton Live to extract the vocals. It's long, but I enjoyed it and the themes he talked about, so wanted to allow it its full length.

I usually upload my songs to SoundCloud, but due to the length of this one I decided to make a video out of it instead. I made it using nw_wrld, an open-source project by Daniel Aagentah.

Hope you all enjoy it ^_^


I'm creating my first module drawer to create deep, immersive textures, ambient drone sounds, and other genres. My first modules have been a Magerit Laniakea and a Behringer CU1A for the outputs, but no matter how much I connect my Akai with its Gates IN or OUT CVs, there is no way for this to sound. What modules do you recommend to send the audio of my Eurorack to an Akai Force so that I can sequence, edit, record or control it through it? I am new to modular synthesis, I would like to learn all the concepts and connections, what each module is for and which are the most essential, focused on recording and transmitting audio externally, to other control units, but I can hardly find main information basic to correctly identify each concept. Any ideas? Thank you so much

Hi guys!
I’m kind of new to modular and I want to add a delay to my rack. I’ve chosen the Befaco Crush Delay, but I can’t find information about the differences between v2 and v3. Does anyone have experience with both v2 and v3? What are the main differences between them? Which one would you recommend for a newbie? Cheers!

Fantastic, it's now installed.

Thanks for your help.


There appears to be a small tab on the board that sticks out and prevents the module from going into the rack.
-- Bodythief

carefully remove/break away the tab (for example with pliers) - it has no connectivity so it will not be an issue

happy patching


Hi, I'm building a rack for the first time with no previous experiencve
I came to put a 1u Intellijel module into the 1u slot and it doesn't fit !
There appears to be a small tab on the board that sticks out and prevents the module from going into the rack.

Any ideas?


Thanks for the other suggestions...

I'am now seriously looking the make a O.R.N.8 / O_C T4.1 as it look like a wonderfull piece of HW.

Already launch a production of Beaks/Peaks,
and added a very cool clone of Quad VCA clone (Four play - Behringer) that already improved the fun and possibilty when making patch.


hi Zacksname,

thanks a lot for this answer.
i understand your point about the apparent lack of modulation.
Actually i use a lot the performer for this.
It’s a wonderfull swissknife for this setup as any output can be use a LFO.
it’s cv input can also be use as a cv sampler that can be routed internally as a complex sample and old or other crazy usecase.
(as a new player in the modular world i'm really surprised this module is not really popular, this thing is awesome)
but i'm also looking onto make noise Math as an option to complement this rack...
about the behringer interface the diy polivoks output module work really fine with it.
i also use the external input of the mother32 if needed...

i will sure take your suggestion for more vca or attenuverter as theres a lot of low HP options for this ;)

again many thanks for your answer.

Edit : About space, i can gain a large amount of space by relocating the Performer on a standalone dedicated case.
So space is not really an issue.

According to your feedback, i'am also currently lurking on XAOC Batumi or behringer Four-LFO Clone of it...

About VCA both Befaco ATTE or Blacknoise GOMA seem interessting too.

Edit n°2 : I'm not afraid of "difficult build"

Edit n°3 : Problem solved ...

I'have tooked out the Westlicht Performer of the rack to gain some space.
