Using this as a template to build slowly over the coming months to complement/expand my current Moog ss3 and if all goes well then onto KS Eurorack 2. Any comments/advice would be welcome. Music genre tends to be ambient/space/generative. Intend to use Mantis racks and module clones where discontinued or unavailable secondhand.
Needs less ear candy and more boring parts: active multiples, offset/attenuators, mixers.
And oh boy, the Harmonaig. We all have modules we deeply regret and the Harmonaig is mine.
It does the trick, a quantizer with chord tables, but for me, always did it poorly.
I tried, a lot, but there's too many obscure button combos to make it 'work'.
It seems musical, but never got there.
Really dissapointing, I keep it around now, just to look at it with distain.
Instruo stuff seems too expensive for what it does and for how it's made.
Their raw board aesthetic just comes off as cheap to me.
Grrr. Instruo.

For some context, what functionality do you think you were missing the most when patching up the Moog ss3?
I'll second noddle_huts suggestion adding that you should think about what you want to add to your patching and do you have the utilities to integrate the new modules with your existing rack?

Hi, thanks for the feedback and all your comments noted. Very new to modular and need to get to grips with the Moog system before diving in so will be while before i get a Rack, hence the advise needed. True I have been influenced by the flashing lights and eye catching facias. Have managed to get some nice ambient patches so far with the ss3 but watching what some people are doing with generative music on YouTube along with the module tutorials makes me think I should start with LFO, random voltage and Envelope generator modules to get more movement and dynamics into what I've got so far. But as I said I have a long way to go with my current setup to really understand what will prove to be useful additions rather than just look good! More advice or suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, on the subject of Instruo, I have ordered their Pocket Scion having been impressed with the videos online, its MIDI capabilites (and my plant collection) will fit well into my current workflow and music aspirations along with my Roland Fantom. Thanks for sharing your experience of the module, don't want to make any expensive mistakes if possible.
