When you edit a module and upload a new photo, will that replace the existing panel photo, or add an additional one? There are a few I think I could upload, but I didn't want to replace anything that's currently out there.

When you upload a new photo it will replace the old one, but the old one still is not lost.
For every upload a new version is added.
Other people who have set their module image to HEAD version (default) will see your newly uploaded image.
HEAD means: always show the newest image.
If they switch to an older version it will stick there, newly uploaded images will not affect their racks.

On a related note, why are there so many alternate panel photos that are exactly the same image?

When you click on those arrow buttons technically you browse through the versions.
The Panel Selector function was added to ModularGrid lately and is more a hack to make different images possible. It's a compromise.

Excellent transaction with @exper and packaging was superior. Hope we'll do more biz. Thanks.

Hate to read a negative note, but for $4k+....Shhhhhoooooooot. That'd buy a lot of standalone gear, some very cool FX plus drum machine(s). Is modular just for the wealthy? Go....

used alongside my Arturia Microbrute, its main function is providing more modulation sources for the modulators on the Brute Oszillator.

Try using it for filter modulation - instead of a smooth change with a sine wave you get steps in the filter cutoff. Or use it to switch modes, for example on MI Warps have it plugged into the algorithm cv control; I've also used it to do something similar on my Flame FC16 CV to switch effect modes.

@Tall-Dog Electronics
Hello, your uBraids version looks great and smartly made.
Gongrats ! Any plan to offer Panel/PCB set for DIY fellows ?
Thanks.
-- Hathorm

Thanks very much, Hathorm. It is indeed a possibility. The caveats are that it is an extremely dense board, and requires a) lots of previous experience with SMD, b) either a reflow oven or stellar soldering expertise, c) JTAG or serial/FDTI programming experience and tools, and d) the understanding that we cannot offer DIY support for anyone's DIY build. Given that, let me know if you are still interested, and I will get back to you ASAP. All best, MWG

THIS... is a mature name on a module;€
-- HEK-

It is indeed :D

for passive multiplication i would never waste rackspace but use things like http://www.upbeat.ch/shop/media/images/org/mult-patched.jpg instead.

maybe add some vca to be able to modulate things?

attenuverters are also always nice to have.

Aaa

hahaha my god

I can't belive someone actually use this machine for eurorack ... besides me. Do you got any sounds out on the net?

Stuff like this should really be marked as private, unless there are plans to offer them commercially.

If this was stereo, it would be perfect!

This is my first patch on the modulör, inspired by a youtube video. I do this for learnig about moduls and patching but i think the modulör makes no sense for me because i don't need the midi/cv modul, the FX modul (it's not so good) and because the quality of the integrated moduls is not so good. So i will not buy it. :(

Just received a microBraids from @Virgil (he built the module too)...everything just perfect!!!

Thanks for the catch, fixed now. Matte black PCB.

So the site says PCB and anodized aluminum.
Which is it?

This and other proposals for reducing duplicate modules are all for nothing unless someone goes through the database and actually deletes the existing duplicates. People will just keep creating more duplicates as long as the state of the database makes it look like that's the generally done thing.

I second that and also like to add that rotating in 90° steps would indeed be awesome. I have a rack with 4HP modules mounted sideways in an additional 1RU row.

ENGLISH :

Hey ! I'm new on this website and I'm thinking about my first modular configuration .
I spent my day thinking about one that would fit to all my needs and it seems that Erica Synth already got me.

My needs :
-A polyvalent and stereo synth (I'd really like to Pan each VCO to get a big wide sound without any FX section.)
-A synth I could play via USB from my DAW, with sync modulations.
-A synth that doesn't sound like a typical subtractive analog mono synth. (My Moog Sub 37 does that job already)
-A 84 HP synth (I need to rack it)
-A synth that costs < 2000 euros.

So I did this. What do you think of it ?

FRENCH :

Hello ! Je suis nouveau sur le forum, et je planche sur ce qui sera mon premier modulaire.
J'ai passé la journée à chercher une config qui répondrait à mes besoins, et c'est définitivement Erica Synth qui gagnait à tous les coups.

Mes besoins :
-Un synthé polyvalent, et stereo (J'ai vraiment envie de pouvoir Pan chaque VCO pour avoir un son bien large sans devoir passer par une section d'effet.)
-Un synthé dont les notes seront trigées via USB depuis un DAW, et les modulations syncro avec la clock de ce meme DAW.
-Un synthé dont la plage sonore dépasse largement les limites de la synthèse analogique soustractive. (J'ai déjà un Moog Sub 37 qui fait ce job à merveille)
-Un synthé qui tient dans 84 HP (je veux le racker)
-Un synthé à moins de 2000 balles

Et donc j'ai fait ça. Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Tell me if I have a clue or not. It's all new to me. Looking for the ability to sneak a guitar through it, use an external Moog synth or use the onboard tones....I need Midi and I know it.

@richc90 - got a NLC Sloth from him, has been a pleasure to deal with. Lightning fast shipment.
@iridite - purchased an Epoch Benjolin, all good!
@Triglav - purchased a modded A-171-2 - perfect!

got a Doepfer clock divider from @robbert and it's a great guy. i asked to send to the wrong place, returned and he sent for me down to brazil. what a great guy!

got a Morpheus module from @Nuuttipukki ; great value, excellent shipping - clearly a bona fide seller

Greetings to Scotland! Love using S&H inserted between FM modulator & carrier - can give very liquid feel to the sound

Grounding problems with pressure points in this case?

Awesome looking rack. I can't comment on the technical stuff since I don't feel like I know enough though.

EDITED Oct 28th 2021, 11:02

Check out this series. This guy is doing the same thing (starting with Mother32 and walks through how he picked his first):

Previously: Independent box w/ Meadowphysics, Teletype, Peaks, STO, STO, Lxd, Cold Mac, Discrete SVVCF, LoFi Junkie, DLD.
Currently: Control skiff for 6U w/ Switch, Meadowphysics, Teletype, White Whale, Earthsea, Ansible, Ornament & Crime, Just Friends, ER-301.

Old notes for independent design

Love the idea, main thing I might change is trying to use Cold Mac to swap with the O'Tool+ or Samara to swap with the LoFi Junkie and rearrange a little for more CV manipulation. Between Peaks and Teletype I think I can get by on modulation.
Especially if I pair with Doze in the Branches or Bloom in the Depths.

I do wish I could get Earthsea in here though. And the Mangroves, Sisters, Cold Mac travel case is immensely tempting.
But realistically, dual STOs, Lxd, and a Cold Mac is probably the way to go. Pam's new workout is same size but meadowphysics is already our clock and I feel like there'd be some awkwardness there.

It's also sort of tempting to get the ER-301 in the "Techno" case/Bloom in the Depths by swapping out E350 + Braids but not convinced there are sufficient modulation sources if we do that and there's no need for Braids/E350 in Doze in the Branches.

Just got a MI Tides in great condition from @Yochwired. The contact was very friendly and shipping was fast. Thanks a lot!

This is where I'm at right now as far as planning my rack. I already have the SV-1 and Elements and am getting the clouds next week, and then the 4ms quad lfo and then the veils after. I have 10hp free and I'm wondering what I might be missing? I've been told you can never have enough VCAs and modulation sources but I figure this system is small enough for the VCAs I already have so what could I do for modulation? OR what other utilities would I find useful using in conjunction with the other modules. I'm decently set on what I have planned so far but am also open to other suggestions.

I'm looking to do a mix of natural sounding / vintage synth sounds like Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Animal Collective and I love granular synthesis hence the clouds. I also want to use the system to process external audio so anything that can help with that is a plus. Hope that can give you an idea for what I might be looking for.

Any suggestions are very appreciated! :)

4 Oscillator
3 séquenceur
4 lfo

All means how many modules?

Haha, yeah right.

Thanks for your reply.
Ofcourse, I hadn't given that much thought yet.
My initial idea was to buy a beatstep pro to sequence one or two sources and play the beatstep or the minibrute over that. But I'm not sure if that would be enough to run the system as is. It's quite a lot to get my head around at first.
Thanks for the tip on the filter, I'll ask at the store if it's possible to try some of them on the Troika!

Please think about limiting the number of whatched modules for non unicorn members. It constantly drains my wallet if I get notifications for modules that look interesting :o)
And maybe it would be cool to delete all notifications at once.

How about: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stayfocusd/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji?hl=en ? Keep yourself away from MG entirely, that way you won't spend your money on modules.

That looks quite pleasing.
How do you connect yout Microbrute to it?
I wouldn't buy a filter I haven't wiggled before. Or at the very least compared with others I know, by video.

A technical solution for a non-technical problem? Umm.

Hi there,

I'm quite new to the synth world. I always wanted to have one, and last year I came across the affordable and seriously awesome
Minibrute. Bought it and I've been playing with it for a while now. I figured out I like playing what is called Berlin School music and love to go on adventures with it, finding it's little nuggets and sweet spots of witch I'm sure I haven't found all of them.
But I also noticed that just the one synth has it's shortcomings (there we go!). So I went back to the musicstore to listen to some other gear, but in the pricerange I was looking for nothing really did it for me, until I heard a few VCO's for modular. When I heard the Instruo Troika I completely fell for it's warmth. I asked a few noob questions and the guy from MidiAmsterdam sent me home with a list of gear which is detailed in the rack below, with some changes I made to it by venturing on the web.
This quest set me off into watching many video's about modules and there capabilities. Sometimes dizzying, but most of the time very much fun. So now you can understand I need to get my hands on a modular.
My question to you, baring in mind I'm an absolute noob, is what do you think of what I put together and is there something missing to get me started?
I do, very much like the Troika and the Clouds modules. The filter, though i never heard it in real life, is also one of the most interesting to me.

Hey

What is the best way to disribute clock from YARNS to all modules of modular system ?

Thanks for help

Could do Drezno or Arpitecht instead of MA-35

i would 1) start with an bigger rack than you think you'll need because experience will lead to expansion ;)
and 2) add more vca's ;P

its in general a good idea to start as small as possible modulewise and let then the rack guide your way to the next modules one at a time.

Hello.
I want to travel with my M32 3x rack.
Anyone heard of a suitable case?
Thank you.

Hello All,

Taking my first journey into modular. Wanted some thoughts on if I have all bases covered with this small starter system.

I figure with the 2hp modules I have a ton of functions covered. Just wanted to know if this is overkill or if I am missing anything. Honestly, any thoughts on this system would be great!

I’m looking to integrate this for a live house/techno act I am putting together.

I’m currently running the below gear:

Elektron Octatrack
Beatstep Pro
Dreadbox Fx Hades
Make Noise 0coast
Volca beats
Volca Sample
Volca Keys
12 channel behringer mixer

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
