Building an ALM only small Rack

Hey everyone,

I am currently planning on building a new ALM only 54HP synth to combine with my Digitakt and Digitone. Just wanted to know if you see any issues with my build or something I am missing/should replacing :) Just keep in mind I am not looking for a complete Eurorack setup with drums etc. Just want to have fun and sample/sequence this little ALM setup.

Before this I had a small build based on Noise Engineering Modules.

Thanks!

What will you be using as VCAs? Does the Mum M8 have a built in VCA?

Yes, the Mum8 has a built in VCA. I am currently thinking if the output module is good enough and if I need some sort of mixer. If so, I have to ditch the SBG module which is for external effect pedals. Not too necessary

Yeah, I feel like I would want the Tangle Quartet in there.

That is a good idea. I can remove the SBG. Can i remove the midi and clock pam directly with an external clock? If no, i might need to rethink the purpose of the Chalkboard. I liked the idea to have an octaver sort of module in there.

I would probably keep the mmMidi and sequence from the Digitakt. That would probably eliminate the need for the Beast's Chalkboard since Digitakt has good MIDI sequencing capabilities. Do you need the HPO? If you got the Tangle Quartet, you could probably just attenuate the signal from there on the way into the Digitakt or whatever you are using as a mixer.

Yeah i just looked something up and came to the same realization to keep the mmMidi. I can use either the Digitakt mixer or my Bastl Bestie Mixer. Did you mean Pam instead of Chalkboard? Because the latter has no sequencing capabilities. And still, removing Pam is also not really an Option. So even if i remove HPO and SBG I still miss 2Hp...

No, I'm just suggesting that you can switch octaves from the Digitakt.

Ah yes, got it. I didn't actually know that this is possible but if true that would be great. Thanks! :)

Adding the Tangle Quartet and removing SBG, HPO and Chalkboard, i have 4HP left. A second Pip Slope might be nice. Or keeping the SBG

The SBG might be fun if you have a lot of pedals.
I have the mmMidi and Pamela's New Workout. Great modules. You should be able to set up some pretty cool sequences via Digitakt as your master MIDI device.

I have some fun pedals since i play guitar in a band. So yeah, I'll do that. I think i have my setup. Thank you a lot for your help:)

I am selling my ALM Supercoupe system if you are interested ping me via message.
