Thanks for the tip re: posting and for the feedback on the rack. Good points to consider.

A number of the modules I have were deals on eBay (Function, Doepfer VCA, ring mod, Steppy, and both filters) before I had much idea where I wanted to go.

I have been looking at adding an attenuverter and a better filter choice and appreciate the confirmation on where to make changes.

I had thought the tides and function for envelopes but have been looking at something simpler - and agree that smaller LFO would help with space too.

I'll check out the Disting EX and add a noise source - opinions on which modules to check out? I have been leaning toward Doepfer for simplicity and size for EG, noise, LFO...


Hey all - Here's what I've ended up with in my Arturia rackbrute case. I have other gear that I use (Digitakt, Waldorf Blofeld, Behringer TD-3, Korg Monolgue) and both a Keystep and Beatstep pro.

current setup

I like the random/generative ability of Marbles and the tonal possibilities from Plaits, Surface, and Chainsaw (and Tides) but wonder whether I should go for more basic oscillators (I also have a Tiptop Z3000 but wish it was smaller)

There's some duplication with the Steppy and Beatstep Pro for sequencing.

As far as my style, I like generative sounds, noise, ambient, but don't mind making straight beats as well (Digitakt probably best for this).

New to modular and hoping for some useful critique where I can add/subtract/substitute for a more useful system. Thanks!
