Thanks for the other suggestions...

I'am now seriously looking the make a O.R.N.8 / O_C T4.1 as it look like a wonderfull piece of HW.

Already launch a production of Beaks/Peaks,
and added a very cool clone of Quad VCA clone (Four play - Behringer) that already improved the fun and possibilty when making patch.


hi Zacksname,

thanks a lot for this answer.
i understand your point about the apparent lack of modulation.
Actually i use a lot the performer for this.
It’s a wonderfull swissknife for this setup as any output can be use a LFO.
it’s cv input can also be use as a cv sampler that can be routed internally as a complex sample and old or other crazy usecase.
(as a new player in the modular world i'm really surprised this module is not really popular, this thing is awesome)
but i'm also looking onto make noise Math as an option to complement this rack...
about the behringer interface the diy polivoks output module work really fine with it.
i also use the external input of the mother32 if needed...

i will sure take your suggestion for more vca or attenuverter as theres a lot of low HP options for this ;)

again many thanks for your answer.

Edit : About space, i can gain a large amount of space by relocating the Performer on a standalone dedicated case.
So space is not really an issue.

According to your feedback, i'am also currently lurking on XAOC Batumi or behringer Four-LFO Clone of it...

About VCA both Befaco ATTE or Blacknoise GOMA seem interessting too.

Edit n°2 : I'm not afraid of "difficult build"

Edit n°3 : Problem solved ...

I'have tooked out the Westlicht Performer of the rack to gain some space.

Hi there,

Here is my current rack, mostly DIY build...
Skies is currently out of stock, so i'm planning to build a TOILmodular Clouds clone or wait for new batch, i dont know at this time, but i'am sure i want this kind of module for ambient oriented sounds.
Hive is an option i'am thinking about to integrate in the rack but i'am not currently fixed about now.
A mother32 and a Neutron are laying around this setup.
Also love to use a Korg NTS-1 for reverb and effect.

My core setup is build around an MPC Live and a Behringer UMC1820 for sequencing midi and capturing audio from external stuff.

I'm looking for advice or idea to complete this build with or without hive in the rack, i'am still not sure i need it.
What is missing or could be a nice piece of hardware to add ?
Winterbloom Castor and Pollux is a nice piece i'am thinking about.
I got a preference for DIY stuff, but i'am open to all suggestions ;)

Kind regards

Zoe
