Sorry my previous post is tripled! I don't know how that happened but any moderator who sees this is welcome to delete two of them please! :-)
Anyways, I was just thinking, at least for my uses, it would be great if there was a new "float" section option that would be somewhat like the pedalboard builder? It could be setup similar to how the 1U row option is now but if "float row" is selected for 1U rows, all adjacent float rows would be combined into one big space, and even adjacent 3U rows could be set to "float"? Modules could be placed in a float row, rotated horizontally and vertically like pedals, and their power specs and cost would be added to the totals (if they are modules). And any modular rack that contains a float row can be opened in the pedalboard builder so that pedals and other gear like desktop synths and mixers etc. can be added to the float rows?
Marbles and Sloths are mostly in control, almost all coming from my Main case. Sloths is acting on the VCAs in SSF Vortices for slow transitions.
Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.

Thanks for the write up on this . The CMOS 4017 has always seen the perfect chip to make a sequencer out of.
Now I want to see some make a compressor circuit using an LM3915 Audio Dot/Bar Display driver
to control multiple OpAmp gain.
A delay based on the Princeton Tech echo/delay/āverb chip.
Pretty straightforward build Sound is good, thereās some grit on high feedback levels which is interesting.
Good, small, reasonably inexpensive delay unit.

Today is the day after Christmas. Itās misty outside.Here in my attic, itās cozy and warm.Iām drinking tea all day and making music. I wanted to create a patch which reflected this feeling.Music like a warm blanket. I used the polyphonic mode of my Hermod Plus by @squarpinstruments for that. Paired with the @vostok_instruments module line, itās perfect for polyphony. Please enjoy and I wish you a beautiful 2025 full of love, health and beautiful bleeps and bloops. ā¤ļø
This layout represents two, 3 unit racks that I possess.
I want to find a skin or faceplate replacement for the 2 Neutrons and the Proton. Something black with a more classic look, like the Pr0-1 and Kobol Expander.
I got a big problem with how PedalGrid's homepage is set for my desktop resolution. Upon first load, it looks like this:
But when the window's width is shortened to this, it fixes itself?
So my aim 2-3 years ago was to build a dawless techno set up. it currently consists of drums (Alpha Base), Sampler (Blackbox), Analogue Bass (Impulse Command), Sequencer (Pyramid).The left hand side of my modular consists of a digital voice (Scanned, using envelopes from Impulse Command) & the right hand side consists of Serge inspired modules for blips & blips etc.. Effects are supplied by pedals on the Endline send. As you can see the case has 24HP to be filled. I am very interested to know your suggestions for this gap.
Looking for some advice on advancing my currently very bored rig. I already have the Vermona filter, Addac Mixer, HexInverter, Joranlogue I/O.
I'm hoping to use this rack to generate experimental tones and textures and loops to sample and play with in Ableton/Octatrack/outboard FX. Less interested in making a monophonic synth machine but it'd be good to have a voice to sing with if needed... I'm not sure about how I want to sequence or drive notes/steps, and I threw the Rene in last minute but feel least committed to it. Definitely aiming to look at my computer screen much less. I'm interested to hear any suggestions for more left-field modules or more ergonomic replacements.
I love artists like Barker, Lusine, Monolake, etc..
Ive been building a song and video base, and plan to start gigging soon, so I thought I should start here when it comes to sharing.
This was just a fun robotic jam with some video modules to help as well.
Amazing! We have reached our funding goal for KOLOR. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this project, I'm looking forward to see how you use KOLOR in your creative setup!

You may have answered your own question. Your rack seems pretty complete and looks pretty fun. If you're happy with it as is, I'd say leave it and enjoy it (and save the money!).
What are the goals with the synth and for expansion? It looks well-laid out, depending on what your aims are with it. Maybe switch out the passive mult for a buffered one, so you can use it more reliably for 1v/oct? You could consider a precision adder for manual control over transposition (I love the vpme.de T-43 for this), but I see that you already have MIDI connecvtivity so maybe this point is moot to your workflow. Really, other than suggesting smaller versions of modules to squeeze a few hp out here and there, I don't think there's need to change anything.
Interesting, maybe not quite for me just yet until I buy my next Case.
Just spotted the Top image is showing a slightly older version, jpg must not have refreshed.

I'm always on the International Spaced Station! haha My usual tripod is in the other room so its actually a lazy camera angle.
Cheers & Merry Christmas

What would you add to my top case? Could be Powered or Passive, I'm planning on adding a Passive Stereo High Pass Filter from Herzlich Labs after the Panmix for the ability to do a filtered drop. I've got MI Kinks in there at the moment but it simply doesn't get used.
Its very much an acid bass box with 303 and 101 sounds, I'm mostly sequencing from the Beatstep Pro and percussion comes from my percussion case:
My basic idea is that these 2 cases can be used together with the Beatstep Pro without my Main Case.
Cheers

Very fun track! Excellent playing on frequencies and resonance (nice demo of Font, it makes you want...) The positioning of the camera and the darkness give the impression of a weightlessness session. Were you on the International Space Station? :))
The SIG+ is a recent addition to my rack and I've been loving it. Playing the SIG+ feels like having a conversation with my synth, and I'm still only part of the way through figuring out everything it can do.
If you don't mind the question, I'm curious if you envision the Strange-R as a compliment to the SIG? I'd love to hear how you envision the two modules working together, if at all.
Pretty cool Phin. Didn't see that coming.
Another module..
I guess I have to get it, probably the larger one.
Another module...
The SIG is in most everything I do, it's wonderful.

Strange-R introduces a totally new way to do sequencing: Melodic Contour Sequencing. Itās extremely powerful at generating recursive melodies, loops and randomness, making generative melodies that sound like human melodies, or live-varying external sequences sent to its input, but never losing sight of your direct realtime performative control.
The majority of its melodic power comes from just two controlsā¦
Ļ (Rho = Correlation = Melodic Direction)
ā (Delta = Deviation = Melodic Jumpiness)
These two simple intuitive controls both originate the melodic material, and then also determine how it is manipulated by 3 independent āphrase loopersā to walk or jump the loop up and down. All this is combined in a unique internal 'micro-patch' with the quantizer (able to do automatic Modal Interchange and Circle of Fifths modulation), two chaotic LFOs, two flavours of noise (analogue and PRNG with sample rate and bit depth control) full CV control over every function, as well as the input which permits live re-composition and variation of anything you send it.
The result is a generative powerhouse and mother-of-all-random source utilities.
* Custom SI Random Walk
* Music theory aware quantizer (automatic Modal Interchange, Circle of 5ths, root note set)
* 3 independent loopers able to hold over 4000 events
* Built in probabilistic TrEG envelopes
* 2 Chaotic LFOs
* External CV Input for live manipulation of an external sequence
* External Clock Input for eternal sync with no lower bpm limit
* Clocks into audio to use as VCO (tri/saw inc.VCO sync!)
* All functions CV controlable
* Non-sprung joystick control with direct JS XY output +/-8v
* CV folder/wrapper
* Quantizer can be used as live input keyboard with chiptune pseudopolyphony
* Full memory recall into 7 scenes
* Special input/output calibration mode
* Firmware updatable via micro SD Card
Patch notes are on the vid.
Just top case and percussion case in action here.
Cheers for listening.

So after a long hiatus I finally filled up my Rack.
I made some Quality of Life improvements like the Direct Out's and finally got a Clock Divider and Muxlicer for some more variety with rhythms.
