Hi there everybody. Here is my typical first post / noob question.

What about starting my modular with this sequenced by Beatstep Pro? Am I going wrong, or missing something important?

Thanks.

Some kind of Envelope Generator?


txuk

Yes absolutely, I am hesitating between these three:

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/doepfer-a-143-2
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/intellijel-quadra

Could you give me some advice about which one to pick?

I don't need full adsr on a modular and would go with the Quadra from your choices, but the Doepfers are solid too.
The Doepfer modules need to receive a gate signal to go through all adsr stages, a short trigger is not enough.

Ok, I like Quadra too, but its a bit expensive for my budget. Do you know similar modules or any other interesting ADSR?


I'm doing something similar using two of these, which give you a built-in VCA:

But, in europe is even more expensive two of these ADSRVCA than Intellijel Quadra.


You don't need two. : )

There are so many great options. I would say Math is hard to ignore for a small system.
If you are into Doepfer check out A-171-2 VCS, if you can DIY check Befaco.

Agree, Maths will be the first module when I start the second row.

I would prefer a pingable LFO. The Doepfer is really big and not really cheap according to what he can do. And he's missing S/H, which I couldn't live without!
Apart from that, maybe you can choose the Double VCA produced by Doepfer, which isn't much more expensive.


Peaks? U get either or:
2ADSR
2AD
2LFO
808 BD&SD
Delay.

For the HP is pretty unbeatable. The only possible downside is the lack of CV inputs for the knobs.

Yeah! Peaks is the killer!!!

Peaks seems to be perfect so I've modified my rack.
