Hello ModularGrid forum,

I am in my 2nd month of owning my Eurorack, and have steadily learnt what goals and preferences I have pertaining to electronic music. This past week I have added the Squarp Rample Turbo, the DLD, and the FX AID XL. I am finding that I value accessibility, flexibility, and controllability when patching and performing. The goal here is A DAW-less song generator, and I am thinking more 'perform and arrange live' than 'record parts and edit later'.

My current noise machine...

I am looking for some advice on CV controllers, whether it be a joystick or a fader module, internal vs. external...
I am hoping to achieve a sort of 'atmosphere controller', using a mult (or if the controller has multiple outputs per input/dial/etc.?) to control multiple parameters to achieve different sounds.

Ex: 1 Fader changes --> up Granulita reverb & down Plaits timbre --> washier ambient sound, and in reverse with the opposite effect.
As well as easier access for VCA control, modulation depth...

Any and all input is appreciated.

Thank you!


I like the Griffin's Claws byShakmat for in rack.

AtoVproject might be of interest for a much larger solution


Eowave Portail is great if you already have a midi controller you like.

Dear Traxam,

I appreciate the input. I have not seen the Griffin's Claws before and I am a big fan! What a powerful tool. I am looking to keep things small and off my deskspace, so an in rack makes a lot of sense.

Thank you!


Sweet Sixteen by Tesseract modular is great for this. It has 16 inputs & outputs and can output at the same time to CV, MIDI and i2C. You can also use it without any inputs just as a CV generator. However it doesn't have recording or something similar, it's just faderbank.
