Hi Jim and Eowave :)
Eowave got in touch with me to let me know about the current situation :)
Really looking forward to getting that one.
Best,
L

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
Neither for live or studio really.
Having fun patching :)
I hear you when you are saying 104hp...
Went from a rackbrute 6U to a Doepfer 9U thinking (like everyone else I suppose) it would be "enough"... HAHAHA!!!
And I totally understand when you refer to more utilities: the last modules I bought were actually oriented this way:
- Ladik A-541 for 2 mono OUT feeding Octatrack IN A and IN B
- Ladik A-410 Pan/Mix/VCA
- MI Links not so much for multing but rather as a precision adder
Next one will most likely be Ladik S-090 Dual Probability Skipper and then already thinking about Sequential Switches...
What other utilities do you have in mind?
Could you also elaborate on matrix mixers if you don't mind?
Many thanks for taking the time.

Hi all,
My journey into modular is at this point so far:
This is where I would like to go:
Any advice/opinion would be welcome. I am mainly making ambient and techno on this rig.

I am using a Torso T-1 to sequence all this and also using an Octatrack Mk2 which serves mainly as mixer (Live resampler + effects), hence the 2 mixers in my rack:
1) Supamix (not yet available) to replace my 4ms Listen4 which is very power hungry (200 mAh +12V) ans also because it has a nice couple of features (mutes). This mixer is routed to a stereo pair on OT.
2) Ladik A-541 which feeds 2 mono signals to OT as well. Mainly SY0.5 and Plaits for drum duties although Plaits could serve a lot more :)
I just flashed Desmodus Versio to Electus Versio to have a go at it.

Also looking for a nice little LPG: Takaab 2LPGv2 or Herzlich Labs Omen. Not sure as of yet.

OSCs: I am pretty well served at this point but not sure about NE Manis Iteritas as I am eyeing a BIA.

Filters: very pleased with Polaris but would gladly add a different flavour to my rig:
Shakmat Dual Dagger or XaVCF from G-Storm Electro (this one for a very unique flavour).

Effects: really like the XAOC Sarajewo but I am curious about the Alright Devices Chronoblob2.

Again, any advice, comments or opinions are more than welcome :)
Thank you for your time.

Sounds VERY good :)
80 mA +12V
40 mA -12V
0 mA 5V

Indeed it is not listed but on sale here: https://www.musicstore.com/en_OE/EUR/search?SearchTerm=Eowave%20Supamix
I did submit a request form as well on Eowave website.
I shall be patient...

Hi,
I am just looking at this to replace my 4ms Listen4.
No details on power consumption.
Has anyone any details on this one by chance?
Thank you :)

Thanks for your time, much appreciated :)
have sent an email to XAOC.
Will get back here to clarify in case it can help :)
Best

Thanks for that :) Had not yet opened the downloader... My bad :)
Is there a way, in the setup menu, to restore the unit to factory default? INITIALIZE?
Thank you :)

Hi all :)
I see there is a FW update (2.0.7) and I also see my module has less than the 270 EGs as described on the XAOC website.
2 questions:
1) How do you update the FW on these?
2) Is there a way to reset the module to a "factory default" state as I bought mine and all EGs have been mesed with.
Thanks for any hint,
Loersatz

Hi all,
I am coming here to get some advice on my project.
Currently running a 6U 88hp (Arturia RackBrute) with techno/electro in mind.
https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_2214755.jpg
This is a beginning. I am forecasting a 9U 104hp. Reason is I am currently using an OT mk2 as a mixer as well as basic drum machine (usually no more then 3 voices) + rarely looping/sampling much.
I am using a Torso T-1 to sequence everything modular.
Also using an FMR RNC (as a pseudo limiter) before going into an Elektron Heat mk2 as end of audio chain.
I am willing to expand my system to "get rid of" the OT and this is the reason why I am planning this bigger case.
I would like to add a kick as well as an extra perc voice (could be a BIA as well as a basic clap/hat sample player or voices).
Still debating extra VCA (Tangle Quartet, Quad VCA...). Will need more EGs as well (AD vs ADSR?) and also some more attenuverters.
https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_2215363.jpg
Just willing to have some opinion.
Thanks for any input.
Best,
Loersatz

Thank you very much Cédric,

Very kind of you to have taken the time to detail all this.

I am actually using a Mimetic Digitalis (with Lapsus OS) and really like it.
Hoping for a Voltage Block to restock as it is impossible to find one.
Really appreciate all the tips as I am only starting with modular.
Having a blast :)

Best,
Olivier

Hi Cédric,

Thanks a lot for your help. I was expecting it to be this.

When you say "You have to pass it thru an enveloppe + VCA combo", could you detail the actual connection?
Should I just output the sub OUT to an EG (I have a pip slope mk2 at the moment) through its gate or trigger?
And then to the VCA?

Thank you very much for the help, much appreciated.

Had a glance at your 416 rack and there is a lot of the same I am looking at (Voltage Block for instance).

Best,
Olivier

Hi all,

Second post here.

Just a question as stated above. I have contacted ModBap weeks ago but no answer from them. Maybe someone knows.

Here it is: while using the 2 separate outputs on the Osiris, (one for the voice and the other for the sub OSC), I get a non stop sub out even when stopping my sequencer. Output is connected to a separate input on my mixer (4ms Listen4). I do understand that the sub out gives a full volume, which is not a problem as I can tame it down with the mixer.

The weird thing is that when I hit stop on my sequencer, the sub out keeps delivering its full volume out. It will only stop on a double press on stop on the sequencer. MORE: when double pressing stop on the sequencer, I still get a signal (audio?) coming on my mixer (4ms Listen4). I do not hear anything but it looks like something is still coming out. Confirmed by the fact that I get the same visual signal on the A/B inputs on my Octatrack. Same as the 4ms mixer.

Any idea?

Thanks for any hint in advance, much appreciated as ever,
Olivier

Thanks a lot for the help, really much appreciated.
I will make some tests and get back here if it can help anybody :)
Best,
Olivier

This is the manual I am actually referring to :)
So that would mean I can send a velocity (cv, not trigger) message to the trigger input?

https://misw.us/SY0.5_UserGuide_Dec2018.pdf

In this guide, it says that the trigger input has a dynamic response to input levels. Maybe this is what you are referring to.

Hi and thanks a lot for the hint, really appreciated.
I am using a Torso T-1 to sequence this module and I know I have the option to send cv with pitch OR velocity but I cannot get my head around as to how send various levels of velocity (I can do that on T-1 no problem with as it has a dedicated knob for this function).
When you say "you will need a sequential that has a velocity parameter" it refers to that?
Now, "modulate the trigger before entering into the SY0.5" in the trigger input or pitch?
Really sorry if my question seems stupid but as I said, I am only starting.
Thanks a lot to both of you.
Olivier

Hi,
I imagine that they refer to the Trigger input, I see that it responds to different levels of the trigger, so the higher the peak voltage of the trigger, the greater the response of the internal VCA.
Other modules respond the same to a 6V trigger as to a 8V trigger or a 10V trigger. In this case, it appears that the trigger directly drives an internal VCA, so it is sensitive to the trigger voltage.
To take advantage of this you will need a sequential that has a velocity parameter or modulate the trigger before entering into the SY0.5.
Best regards,

Sorry if my question is redundant but I have not managed to find an answer to this one.
I have read somewhere (cannot find it anymore...) that the module responds to velocity. How do I send velocity and to what input?
I am only starting with modular and some notions and concepts are still a little vague.
Thanks for any feedback/hint on the matter.
Best,
Olivier
