I like the idea that was mentioned above regarding annotation of our racks.

Along those lines, it would be great if we could add a text box, perhaps, on our Patch designs. I sometime have cables going off elsewhere (to a passive attenuator for instance) and if I could place a text box and run a cable to and from it, that would be great :-)

I know some peeps use effects pedals too, so, yeah, a text box would be great, if it is at all possible.

some features that might push me to unicorn :

1U rows !!!
cost of case
cost of power supplies
cost of rails
buying and selling to members

-- FSK1138

At least one of those features will come very soon...

-- modulargrid

This feature can help

Always a pleasure making deals with @Robbert !

Yeah right.

That and make the zone a permanent for the modules in the "Notifications" watchlist.
Pretty please.

HI and welcome. All the modules you have listed are great choices and you cannot go wrong with any of them.

Do not expect to make the right decision and be set once and for all, though. As you go on, try things and learn, your views and needs will change. My general advice would be to go from few and simple modules to more complex and bigger, because: Once you mastered the simple stuff you will know why exactly you need the bigger/better/faster/more. And only then. Probably go second hand as you loose very little when you pass stuff on later. And there's always one more module you will want to try.

ENV: Maths vs. Rampage -- pick either. I guess there's a lot more people out there having experience with Maths and that's why you hear the Rampage being praised less. Did you watch the DivKid video about the Rampage?

VCO: Both Braids and the Black WT are great. Oh and I like the Pico because of its small footprint and price.

LFO: I started out with a big complex quad LFO with a gazillion features. Now I'm using this. Not saying Batumi isn't great, just that you will not need all of it on day 1.

VCA/CV tools: You will need both a mixer and CV conditioning , not either or ;-)
I'm getting great use out of these two. They go a long way for very little money.

A personal note: Big complex modules with a deep menue holding a ton of options are great. They can also be a great obstacle when you just want to make some spontaneous music.
Now re-read that second paragraph ;-)
Cheers!

Hello all, and thank you for looking! I'm planning on expanding, and have a couple modules I'm planning on getting (I enjoy making meditative experimental/ambient, but also would like the ability to make complex rhythms/modulations), but am very stuck after that:

Decided on:

Clouds: Sample manipulation is very appealing to me, and I want to play with it past the "instant ambient" settings.
Ears: Plan on using this in conjunction with my Korg SQ-1 and other external gear.

After that, my mind races a few different ways:

LFO: The Batumi seems really excellent for an interesting modulation source, but the price makes it to where I am not 100%.

Maths/Rampage: Rampage looks really appealing, but everyone screams GET MATHS so much that it has affected me.

Phonogene: This module looks SO COOL. On the other hand, it's a lot of $$$ for cool.

VCA's: I have heard great things about both Blinds/Veils, but I'm not 100% confident of which one would be more beneficial in my small rig, especially going forward.

VCO's: I'm kind of set on an Erica Wavetable VCO/ Mutable Braids. The amount of versatility just seems to great. The Pico VCO is also a contender.

Filter: I haven't thought too much about this, but I do like the sound of the Manhattan Analog ma35.

So essentially: what would provide me with the most fun going forward? I plan on this building and acquiring many of these modules, but don't feel like making the mistake of "oh I bought this awesome module, but I can't use it without more voices/modulation/whatever."

Two features i would love to have is having the currency selection (selectable by the 'show price in $/€' links) and the region settings in the marketplace (show offers from All/EU/US/etc...) be saved locally on the device so i don't have to change them every time i reload the page. I don't know how many minutes or hours i spent by now just changing these settings after loading the page. Would be awesome if the site would just remember my favorite settings.

The depth of this module is far less than stated on Noise Engineering's webpage - it's only 27 mm deep.

Just had a great experience with a purchase from @toneburst. Clear communication, great build, well packaged and everything as expected. Thank you so much!

I put it on the to do list.

Excellent! Thanks :-)

No rush, of course... Get important stuff out of the way first.

Hey,
I have that problem sometimes too and I am wondering if racks should be automatically be locked on small screens in general.
Not sure if anyone is planning on an iPhone?
Thanks for supporting!

-- modulargrid

Yeah, locking on small screens would be great, unless someone is using a larger tablet of course.

I suppose I could always log out on my phone, which would sort out the issue short term...

And no problem re support. I have found your app to be so helpful in arranging my new module and planning possible changed in the future, so becoming a Unicorn was the least I could do.

cheers

Hello all,

This rack is designed to perform algorithmic sequencing of oscillators, dynamic per-voice panning into a stereo chain that will run filter -> VCAs -> z-dsp.

To be fit inside an Intellijel case.

I feel like maybe I don't have enough small utility modules (mixers/VCAs mainly), but I have 2 Distings to do some of that stuff.

This is my first eurorack design. I'm open to all sorts of feedback. Please critique!

Hi peeps :-)

I've only just got into modular stuff and this site has been really helpful. Yesterday I decided to sign up for a Unicorn account as a show of support for the work being done here.

I have a question... Would it be possible to add a simple toggle to lock/unlock racks for editing?

Reason I ask is, I have been coming to my account on my android phone and sometimes, when I scroll the page I accidentally move a module and it is a real pita to fix.

So, once I have finished tweaking stuff I think it would be great to be able to lock it so that I can't make any accidental changes.

Cheers

Very cool!
I can now turn off that "ocular hp measurement feature" in my brain. :)

Works great, thanks :-)

Well we should have something to inform us of how many HP we have free on our racks and when you hover your mouse over a free space it should input the amount of HP free on the space! That would rock and would make my life much easier!
-- AThousandDetails

Took me a while but Space Guides, a similar function is now available.

-- modulargrid

Nice!!!

Space Guides

Hover over a module in the planner and see how much space is available to the left and right.
Works also on drag'n'drop, on all formats and 1U.
There is a Space Guides on/of function to disable it, similar to the Popover states.

Good transaction with @yalivec LEVELS arrived safe and sound

Any recent recordings with this? I'm interested to hear how things changed since the rainmaker was added

I would want a quantizer that can work with CV from other modules. Not sure about this one.

So apparently that Erica Synths Pico SEQ offers "Quantised CV output – 7 different scales."

Nice update! If you have some thoughts on integrating the Morpheus filter into your setup or perhaps even a video of it in action I'd love to see and hear it. Other then that, thanks for all the patches!

Waiting for two of these to arrive, planning on doing the same thing. Panel looks tricky 'though.

I appreciate the aesthetic discipline involved in this rack layout!

Thanks. It's a curse. Haha.

Also if anyone out there is wondering whether I'll allow them to buy all this gear for me, well you're in luck, because the answer is "Yes."

Thanks wiggler55550. I may be wrong (bear with me), but the Yarns youtube review and the user manual seem to suggest that it could do quantized sequencing, which I could potentially use on musical scales or just on values (to affect, say, the Couds "position" or "freeze" values), and that I'd be able to independently play MIDI notes (on, say, channels 1 and 2) while the sequences are being sent (on channels 3 and 4). Does that sound right? If so, perhaps I could just get Yarns to be a 3-in-1 (MIDI, seq, quant) for my purposes?

Updated the rig now includes the bottom 3U sequencing Skiff, also missing is the Nord Drum 2, and Eventide H9 but that is pretty much it :-)

If you plan on playing your oscillator/s with your sequencer in musical scales you will need a quantizer.

Great transaction with @bj_gzp . Animodule sob arrived quickly and good comms throughout.

Thanks for the reply, and I really appreciate the help! I guess I'm used to thinking of things much like a simple guitar pedal signal chain, with each unit simply taking that one signal and modulating it with its own flavor, etc. and passing it on. So I hadn't considered the usefulness of a mixer. Also I know sequencers are huge in the modular world but I'm not big on them. My plan is to play music through it via MIDI keyboard, and to modulate/manipulate the sound via the various eurorack knobs.

You'll see I've just updated this sketch by adding a dual LFO (mainly for modulating the braids and the Modal 008), and adding a Clouds (more modulation) and a tube mixer before sending it to the Strymon. Do you think this would be a pretty complete setup for what I'm trying to do? Also, perhaps I'll need a MIDI converter, like a Yarns? Thanks!

-EDIT-
I've just added some sequencing options for manipulating clouds, etc., and a duophonic MIDI interface.

EDITED Dec 6th 2016, 09:37

what's your goal man? this looks like 3 sound sources and a tape echo. Is that what you want? where's your modulation source? what are you going to use to control it with? do you have a sequencer? You have no mixer to blend the oscillators in and no way to control / modulate them.

I'm looking to use a MIDI keyboard with this. Would I need to add some kind of MIDI interface, like a Yarns (or perhaps something even smaller)?

Also, if I want to get the 008 to sound unstable or if I want to add envelope capability, would it be as simple as just adding an LFO and/or envelope module(s)? If so perhaps someone could recommend a small, simple unit, perhaps even one that does both? Thanks!

i think perfection is balance in dynamics. for electronic musical instruments, it's of digital & analogue, generative & control, deterministic & improvisational, scarcity & redundancy... and freedom to travel between them by preference and coincidence.

我认为完美是动态中的平衡。对于电子乐器来说，是数字与模拟、生成与控制、确定与即兴、缺乏与冗余…和在其中有意与无意的行走。

I want to alert all of you that the user @vjunker has cheated me.
I paid 227€ (through bank transfer...) the 20th september for a MI rings which is never arrived. After my mails about the delay, he said that the package was without the tracking number, so, he could not do anything. Unfortunately I have his mails in which he wrote that the package was insured (and i can't imagine how a package could be insured without a tracking number. Anyway, his last reply to my mails go back to 20th october. He is still selling modules, so, if you don't want to be cheated like me, avoid this user.
