Same.
I totally understand the motivations behind the "no faction" which are absolutely logic and resonable. The thing is that they made a site for it (stagerack.com) which is surely more for live racks but shows that there is a need for it. What Zucker say (and I totally agree with him) eurorack for sure has a way more complicate way of working (module arrangement, power needs,...) but in the end I think that another scope of this site is to connect fellow musicians and engineers to showcase their equipment and their way of working.
People are adding rack units to the pedal section so there may be a need in the sense too.
Said so, mine doesn't want to be a request but more of a idea to share with you all to spark a fruitfull discussion, this site is already amazing as the people behind it to whom I wish the very best!

An EDM track, featuring ADDAC System’s newish module, the 220 Stereo Envelope Follower+

I think this looks great. It's deinitely on my list for future purchase as I'd love to add some visuals to my set up.
Keep going!

I just saw your project and I am amazed! I had always dreamed of a modular doing high quality video effects and you are totally on the right track.

new in-depth vid out now! :)

new video tutorial out now!

Nice work.

the public interest in this project is about zero requests but - since i already have a nice, working and affordable product on hand my obsession is bigger than ever to implement the videoplayer.
and honestly, i do nothing else the last 8 month or so, i became a nerd!
on the other hand - i do something here that was never ever done before, a bare metal ( no linux etc )
direct gpu / vpu decoder that is, in the case of the raspberry pi zero undocumented.
benefit: high performance realtime visuals ( because having realtime fractals ect is not enough i guess )...

stay tuned.

also worth mentioning: i have a eurorack hdmi display with potential put-through in-output to link also an projector, my initial idea...

sadly my bt-quad channel sender is postponed till my obsession is satisfied

i thouroughly enjoyed youre music. Thank you for such a potent example of the pedal

Hi everyone,

Just composed a piece with that specific pedal :

Fuzzy Dunlop Is Data Corrupt

Hope you'll enjoy !

KF

I made this mostly to get the parts off the shelf and into use.
Pretty to look at. Works ok. Needs more stuff.
The 4 VCOs sound good, and seem stable. They'll knock you down, like ARP an oscillator should,
But the Behringer circuits don't like to share CV, and multing them all to a stable pitch is elusive,
so as fun as those passive multiples are, at least two of the A-182 mults have to go.

The 1047 filter has an instability, and not in a musical way if that's your primary VCF.
Like all filters, I have to learn it, but it's cranky.

Why didn't they add two clock outputs to the S&H module? They're right there.
Instead, it takes two clock outputs to sync it. Grrr.
I've used the 2500 series sequencers with Doepfer QNT for a long time and they always just work.
The vactrol filter is just a panel filler until the filtamp arrives.
The A-171 is cool, but doesn't earn it's 8hp.
The mutant brain is going too. Adding MIDI isn't feeling like a good fit here.

The next build gets an active mult and clock dividers.
I also found that I'm missing not having a noise source.
My envelope and VCA situation is dire. Juat two envelopes sharing one gate/trigger? Lame.
I've got some Behringer series 100 modules that'll work, but was going for that shiny 2500 aesthetic.

Because of the smaller scale, the aluminum, the 70's look, and the kind of light-duty switches and knobs Behringer used,
I'm not sure if this is kind of an ARP 2500, or a really nice PAIA 4700.
I've wanted to build one of those one day too.

Back to planning fun.
Thank You Modular Grid!

The Behringer 305 works ok "for the money" but mine sits on the shelf.
The EQ section flattens the dynamics and harmonic content and to my ear, it sounds dull, cheap and non-musical.
A mono EQ in a stereo device is kind of an odd feature anyways.

The little thing that I thought would be useful is the 220/440/880 tuning reference.
Mine hasn't ever been close to pitch and it drifts and flutters in frequency even after warmup.
So it's useless as a tuning ref. Maybe I just got a bad one.

I understand the value proposal, and the merits of an all Series 100 box, and I do like my other Series 100 modules,
but this one is a disapointment, especially considering the space it takes up.

A 16hp module, like the rest of the series, that dropped the EQ and pitch ref,
and added output level modulation for controlled fade of everything, would have been better.

Could have been worse, they could have added that sad Klark-Teknik delay and reverb.

I suppose Behringer had to "emulate" features of the Roland system, so this is what we got.
As a whole though, the Series 100 is an impressive bargain, and that's what they do.

EDITED Friday August 08, 17:07

any suggestions on how someone else would arrange these modules? this seems to be the most logical ive found so far.

This is a new kind of video for me.
In this one, I’m focusing on a single module — BOPP and STEVE by This Is Not Rocket Science.

This is not a review. I’m not a reviewer — I’m a musician.
So rather than diving into every technical detail, I’m giving you a musical demonstration: how I use this module to patch, play, and make music.

It’s a new direction I’m exploring, and I’m really enjoying it.
I originally started this channel to share my music, but more and more people have been asking how I create it — how I patch, how I build my sounds, and how I work with modular gear.

So this is the first step in sharing more of that side of my process.

Let me know in the comments if this kind of video speaks to you — I’d love your feedback.

Thanks for watching

Caution, this module is not 24hp it is 28hp
-- Dano

Strange, the one in my case is 24hp.

As usual, smart transaction with @Slim
Recommended Seller !

So has this ever happened. It seems to have existed once but doesn't anymore per much older forum posts.
Also is there a comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts somewhere. The one under help does not include the f = flip shortcut which does exist and works. The ability to rotate a module 90 degrees either directions would seem to be no brainer and would be extrememly useful. In addition the ability to include a module on the page and have it included in the stats even though it is not in the rack would also be useful. I do know people who literally hang modules by their power cable coming out of a space of a few HP because they do not have the space to mount it.

Missed opportunity with silly annoyances, the maker thought 1hp=5mm not 5.08mm making this module 0.5hp narrow (27.56hp) and necessitating redrilling fixing holes. I wish the maker supported this product rather than fully abandoning it.

"TR-X0X Style drum / trigger sequencer based on the Behringer RD-9"
Looking at the picture: more like drum/trigger sequencer idea stolen from Erica Synths Drum Sequencer.
-- StrangeAttraction

Honestly, I kinda doubt it. This module was developed in direct response to people online asking Behringer about taking the sequencer from their RD-8 / RD-9 (which use basically the same sequencer) and using it in Eurorack.

I mean, is it possible they took inspiration from Erica Synths? Sure.

But honestly, I had no idea until just now that Erica Synths even made a drum sequencer.

Which means I certainly didn’t know anything about it back in August, when I suggested to Behringer that they create exactly this module. Admittedly, I only asked for 8 tracks, and I imagined 2 rows of 8 keys, not a 4x4 layout, but either layout could work equally well.

Does the Erica Synths sequencer include options for note repeat, and step repeat? How about the ability to mute or solo any of the individual tracks / sounds? Is it limited to 16 steps? Can you chain different patterns? Does it provide any auto-fill functionality (bouncing away from the current pattern, playing the auto-fill pattern, then bouncing back to the pre-auto-fill original pattern)?
-- randy00andrade

Dude. Not sure how you would be suggesting something like this without knowing of the Eric Drum Sequencer. It stands high above the heap. It does everything you are asking. And more. It is unrivaled.
And, yes, Behringer made this as a riff off of it. Pretty good job of it too. I have both.

Definitely explore switches for changes between events, they can be as subtle or in your face as you like, but help add movement in otherwise static patches.

You could even use a random source to trigger the switch(es).

Best of luck!!

EDITED Aug 4th, 23:03

I’m realising that what I’m missing most is a more initial burst of “chaos” or complexity, a way to inject something more organically unpredictable. I don’t know... a smooth/random CV source that drifts slowly across parameters, for example... i don't know if this is more a "patch" problem..

You’re absolutely right about the mixer—having more hands-on mixing/attenuverting would help me layer subtle textures without a big routing headache. But more than anything I think I need modules that can move things in a gentler, drifting way and let me stack multiple “micro-events” on top of each other.

thank you!

How are you getting along with your current 'Creature?'

I see a pretty reasonable setup already for many of the things you mention...do you find yourself hitting roadblocks with any of the current modules or workflows? Are you always saying, "I wish I had more xyz?" in the middle of a patch?

Perhaps I'd want to add a vc/sequential switch? Something simple like Doepfer's A-150/ A-151 can help create movement/variety.

Otherwise, it looks like you've got your noise/s&h/vca/voices/filters/delay/sampling/random/envelopes/looping mostly covered.

Maybe more lfos to help animate things? Batumi II or Quadrax really offer a lot of options in this department, Quadrax also a heavy-hitter on the envelope side of things. I haven't used the Ochd by divkid but that is a popular choice for lfos.

Maybe an attenuator/invertor/mixer like Happy Nerding 3x MIA?

Maybe more mixing in general, although I guess Maths can serve that function (as well as attenuverting) in a pinch if needed.

Best wishes!

yo, cool rack!

Hi everyone,

I’m relatively new to the world of modular synthesis and I’m looking to expand my rack with modules that let me explore very quiet, organic soundscapes—think of noises that sit at the edge of audibility and evoke natural environments. My ultimate goal is to start from near-silence or barely-there textures and build both standalone experiments and subtle, loop-based compositions around them.

For inspiration, I’ve been studying posts like this one on “Synthetic Wilderness: Recreating Nature Sounds” (https://www.knobulism.com/2025/01/29/synthetic-wilderness-recreating-nature-sounds/ ) and the work of Andy Farnell on sound design. Those approaches really resonate with what I want to achieve: gentle crackles, wind-like swooshes, rustling granulations, dripping water, and other liminal noises that live between pure silence and rhythmic structure.

So, I’d love some advice on:

1. Noise and Texture Generators – Which noise sources or granular/timbre modules are best for ultra-subtle, naturalistic textures?
2. Randomness & Modulation – What are your go-to modules for slow, organic randomness (LFOs, random CV, sample-and-hold, etc.) that feel “alive” but stay in the background?
3. Filtering & Shaping – Any filters, waveshapers, or dynamic processors that help sculpt those delicate noises into evolving, breath-like atmospheres?
4. Feedback & Processing – Suggestions for feedback loops, delay/verb modules, or other FX that can turn a pinprick of noise into a shimmering field without overt rhythm.
5. Looping & Rhythm – When you do build loops from these textures, which sequencers or clock-dividers/drivers work best for very slow, almost imperceptible pulse patterns?

I’m particularly interested in modules or workflows that emphasize silence and liminal sound rather than “blasting beats.” I’d appreciate any recommendations—cheap or high-end, digital or analog—that you’ve found inspiring for this kind of minimal, nature-inspired approach.

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to your thoughts.
Ath.

Getting this out of the way, yeah, Behringer. I know. I feel plenty bad.

Over the past years I’ve picked up most of these B2500 series modules, but was always…uncomfortable with mixing them in with other stuff. I love the work the industrial designers did on the series, and they do work well. Somebody at Behringer really loved this project and it shows.

Instead of keeping them on the shelf, I wanted to unify them in their own case. So I continued the frugal route with a Behringer Go case with 2x140hp and an adequate power distribution layout.
(I also suspect that the 2500 series is out of production and some B2500 modules might start getting scarce.)

So this will be my August build. The Mutant Brain gets me polyphonic midi and clock, and the Doepfer quantizer tames the sequencer to real notes. The four Doepfer 182-1 switched multiples is my cheesy 16x8 matrix switch substitue.
I’m cautious when using passive multiples, but if they were good enough for Al Pearlman, they're good enough here.

It’s missing some things. It doesn’t have a noise source, and a quad VCA would have been nice, but there’s no more room. It’s a very meat-and-potatoes synth build. Nothing exotic or esoteric, but that’s always been the essence of the 2500.

Looking forward to sitting in front of it and playing. Should be a pretty thing.
What do you think?

why not? its self contained but it will play nice with what you have.

Guess it would make more sense to have it in a smaller rack seems not to many use Them in a bigger rack or?

🎛 New live – August 3rd, 2025
A short 12-minute set where I had some fun messing around with my two freshly built Tekno racks. I combined their energy into this wild little hybrid live jam, somewhere between gritty industrial textures and bouncy rave rhythms.

I kept the patch from my Tekno Rack (watch it here) and blended it with a more industrial/noisy rack (this one). Both racks are visible on ModularGrid:
🔗 https://modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/...
🔗 https://modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/...

The Industrial Rack builds the atmosphere: the main chord (generated by the FCO), gritty industrial noises (from various Noise Engineering modules), and a dirty little melody from the Cursus Iteritas. I’m using a mod patch with square-wave LFOs attenuated through Lapsus Os and Integra Solum. All of it runs through the Ghost (Endorphin.es) for spacious FX.

The Tekno Rack runs on a preset-driven patch using the Malekko Voltage Block. It sequences evolving patterns between the Rample (Squarp Instruments) and Stolperbeats (Making Sound Machines), creating 16 variations of grooves and rhythms.

The kick is the Entity Bass Drum by SSF — super punchy and blends well with the drum parts from the Rample and Perkons Voice. These are filtered and driven with the 100 Grit from Shlappi, and the final touch is the Per4mer by Modbap for playful FX.

I’m also sequencing the Perkons Voice presets using the Muxlicer, and processing it with individual delay (FX AID) and filtering via a Doepfer Wasp Filter. Everything is mixed with the D.O.MIXX by Blood Cells Audio, and mastered through the Golden Master by Endorphin.es.

🛠️ This is just the beginning — I’ve barely scratched the surface of these two monsters. This patch was relatively simple, but I plan to go much deeper in future jams. Might even throw in a 303 or my Analog Four next time.

🙏 Thanks to everyone for the support and kind messages — it’s a real pleasure making noise with such a beautiful and ever-growing community.

It’s been almost a year since I started grooving with this rig, after reaching out in the forums for some advice. I received amazing feedback and dms and I’m really happy with the gear in my case.

Great community, thanks for sharing the knowledge!

(I think the overstayer is the actual star of the show but the modules are doing the hard work :) )

Here's quick snippet of my latest patch.

I'm curious, if you don't mind giving away your "secrets," about your mastering technique (if any).

Does your music come out sounding so "complete and glued together" (for lack of better terms) naturally, or do you use an online mastering service/app/program, or do it yourself?

TY!!
-- Jukeshoe

Thanks once again for listening. Im not sure I have any secrets haha. But to answer your question. I have 2 Eurorack mixers that allow me to combine the different hardware voices, one is the Cosmix Pro by Cosmotronics (6 channel) and the other is Carn by Instruo (4 channel).
Theses mixers allow me also to add effects from Happy Nerding FX Aid Pro and FX Aid. The mixers go off to 4 channels on the SSL Big Six mixer where I can add other hardware synth inputs if I need. I am sometimes using Atrium Instruments Swarm which goes into a stereo channel on the mixer.
Finally the mixer is connected to my Mac using Logic Pro (just moved from Garageband which was my long time DAW) where I can mix the various levels. I dont have any clue about mastering to be honest and tend to just use my ears when adjusting the levels and some EQ. I dont like spending time on the DAW as I prefer making music to that of forever mixing. I also do not like to add too much effects in the DAW as I prefer the challenge of making the hardware sing as opposed to using software to make it sing.
I dont write any of my patches down, once I record and am done then I pull all the cables and start from scractch again. I also regularly move modules around in the case to stimulate ideas and new worksflows.

Hope that has answered your question, if not please feel free to ask more.
Cheers

I'm no Behringer fan, but the RS9 and 960 sequencers were EXACTLY what I had been looking for as a sequencing solution. While I'm mostly using the RS9 to sequence drums externally (Vermona DRM1 MkIV), I still use it to trigger events in the rack. I've tried so many different sequencers and never felt fully satisfied with any of them until I went with this inexpensive yet powerful combination. Aside from the huge chunk of real estate I'm sacrificing, I have zero complaints.

Looks great! Definitely a system I'd love to patch and enjoy. It's very tempting to skimp on function modules when you're short on space, but I'm pleased to see a mult and a LOT of attenuation/inversion/scaling.

Hmm. Only 10 tracks vs Erica has 16...

Can you change/queue pattern changes when externaly clocked?
For me this is the one downside of the Erica which i only found out after purchasing it & which a few people including me have contacted them about.
Unfortunatley they just always say "in the next sofware update" which never arrives.
For me it's the one big negative about the Erica

By the looks of it, it might be the only Behringer product I'd entertain buying.
I'd be tempted to put it in its own case so as not to take up massive space in another row.
Though if I'm not careful I'll be recreating a 909 completely in Eurorack!

i waited so long for this module and when it arrived i tried to program individual accent per channel and then realised it coild only do global accent :( sent it back the next day

Thanks guys! I have yet to order Quiver, but it will be soon

maybe leave your rack aside and just get a oneroi desktop.

very nice

nice rack!

have had a break from music making the last year.
really like the videos i have seen about Befaco Oneiroi,i make Ambient style music,thinking about selling the E352 but as the Oneiroi is a Instrument in its own would it make any sense/benefit my system?

this is what i have now

I composed a song this weekend using a mix of analog and digital synthesizers.

Nordic Echoes by megoth

I enjoyed the combo of Lyra-8 + Collide-4 for bass and a gnarly kick and a newly released sample library for Kontakt featuring the Hardanger fiddle and a mouth harp. I also sprinkled a little harmonious backup using the Equator2 and Solar 42f on top as well.

Hope you enjoy ^_^
