Vinx PER|FORMER firmware – update v0.4.0
https://vinxscorza.github.io/performer/
Performance-focused and exploratory.
The idea is to make the PER|FORMER feel more playable in a live context, while still keeping it open to less predictable workflows. What I’m aiming for is a solid machine for live performance, but also a crazy one for experimentation. The goal is not simply to add more options, but to push the PER|FORMER toward stronger creative generators, safer destructive workflows, better live interaction, and a more complete and well-documented ecosystem.

Sadly have to report a negative experience with user @sugarfreedaddy as of 04 April 2026.

Collide 4 was purchased on 25 March. Price listed in EUR and seller location in Berlin, but seller's PayPal account was set up to receive PLN. I confirmed with the seller that this was how they wanted it before sending. Paid using PayPal goods and services (thankfully) and added the agreed on shipping costs plus 3.7% to cover fees. When seller was hit with exchange fees that left them short, they insisted that I send an extra EUR 20 via F&F (actually ended up being EUR 21.99 due to my getting hit with the exchange fees this time). Because the price for the module was still very good, I agreed to do this although I did express that I wasn't happy about it due to the listing having been in EUR.

Seller originally committed to shipping the module by 27 March at the latest. When I followed up on 28 March to request tracking details they promised a new latest shipping date of 31 March. I have received no responses to subsequent follow up messages and emails since 28 March.

Update as of 07 April 2026: It's been 10 days without any response from sugarfreedaddy via Modulargrid, email, or PayPal messaging. I've escalated a claim to PayPal and will continue to share updates here. I feel very lucky to have had buyer protection in place. I was about to use F&F (which I frequently do) but changed to goods and services at the last minute due to a little doubt being raised at the receiving PayPal account expecting a different currency from the listed price.

Oh, sadly you posted this on 4th of April so I did not know. I also purchased the same Collide 4 module on 31st of March (the module is still on their sale list!!!). I have dealt with this seller before, a year ago or smth. and everything went smooth back then, so I used PayPal F&F this time. So it looks like the seller sold the same module to several buyers consciously.

Never heard back from the guy via ModularGrid, PP messaging and emails...

As an excercize in Modular Grid, drop a quarter of those modules. (so that's 26hp to sacrifice)
Conceptualy split what's left into two, planning each half as a viable synth, whatever it does, on its own.
Now, with that newly freed space in the middle, fill it with utility and glue modules.
Adders, offset/attenuators, active multiples, submixers. Stuff like that.

Hello everyone !
This is my first post here as I need some advice! I’ve been using Eurorack modular synths for about a year now, and I’m struggling to achieve the musical style I’m aiming for.
Here’s my current rack:

https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_2860927.jpg

Here are some references for the sound I’d like to produce:

As you can see from my rack, my setup is live-oriented. I dislike and avoid modules with submenus—every module I own follows a simple rule: one button = one function.
For future purchases, I’m obviously considering the PAM. I wanted to buy The Order sequencer from 63 Studio, but unfortunately, it’s not compatible with my Doepfer power supply. I’ve also thought about the Quad Quantizer from Tenderfoots Electronics.
Looking forward to reading your advice!

I have to report this former seller @hellonwood40.
I purchased a first-model Vhikk, paid via PayPal, "relatives and friends," so yes, I'm the stupid one.
I paid for the product on April 2nd, and now he's not responding to emails.

This is the wonderful answer the scammer gave me:
"Open a dispute to get a refund!
Maybe it's too late for this talk but I'm deeply sorry :)"
perfect...

EDITED Today, 05:47

Not sure if it's the sound you're looking for, but how about a Toros Iteritas Alia (10hp)?

Hey, just annouced a week ago the release of Spice : https://modulargrid.net/e/floating-knobs-spice

In short :
- It is a 12HP quadraphonic wavetable oscillator of my design.
- 4 quadraphonic oscillator engines : Phase modulation for cross patching, regular V/oct, Scale for easy melodies and Binaural.
- gritty bitcrush.
- early access so still cheap (phase 1 sold out, phase 2 for the end of this month).

It might tick a few of your boxes, check it out and if you have question do not hesitate to reach out.

Hi all,

I have MG set to dark mode. However, every time I load a new page the background flashes white for half a second before changing back to dark grey. I'm on Safari 26.4. Anyone else having the same issue?

Hey, I’m posting here in hopes of getting a response from @sugarfreedaddy as I am having problems with him as well.

I’ve seen a lot of positive feedback about him, including from people I trust, so I’m assuming something unusual is going on. However, I sent payment nearly two weeks ago and communication has largely stopped since then.

Five days ago, I received a message mentioning ModularGrid’s message limit and stating that tracking information would be sent via email. However, no tracking details have been provided, and I have not received any further replies despite multiple follow-ups via ModularGrid, email, and PayPal.

At this point, I simply need clarity on the situation. I would appreciate either confirmation that the item has been shipped, with tracking information, or a refund if the item has not been sent.
I hope this message helps re-establish contact so we can resolve this quickly.

Thanks

At the center I have the NerdSEQ — it’s the brain of the system, sequencing everything (drums, modulation, FX…). It’s a tracker-style sequencer, so very precise and powerful for complex rhythms. 

For drums and samples I use the Rample, where I load and slice breaks into multiple layers, so I can mix and switch between them in real time.

Then I have the Multigrain which is a granular sampler — it lets me take samples (like vocals or textures) and completely reshape them into evolving sounds or atmospheres. 

The Ikarie is a stereo filter, mainly used to shape and animate the sound, especially for movement and tone.

And the Castle is more of a sound source (FM-style), used for melodic or harmonic content.

Everything is then processed and modulated with CV, which is the big difference vs a smaller setup or a groovebox — you can constantly change and interact with every part of the sound.

It's like the best combo ever! :-) Let me know what you think...

Cheers!

before saying the name I want to check what you think for having paied for a module, got an envelope with some gym pants and got the proposal from the seller for being reimboursed for the 50%.
Thank you

Move Rows

We have Swap Rows in the Planner Edit Menu for some time. Now we also have Move Rows which makes a similar thing but without the swapping :)
This is a Unicorn feature.

If you know it's too cramped, why not get a bigger case? Branded cases are expensive, but have you thought about making your own? You don't need much knowledge about electronics to do this. You can find information on this online. A friend of mine has his eurorack in a second-hand metal briefcase. I have mine in a wooden case. The person at the hardware store cut the wood for me on the band saw and the only thing I had to do is put some nails in it and drill a hole for the power cord. That would open up your possible module choices tremendously, and give you a better user experience in the resulting system.

I also want to mention that Make Noise enjoys a legendary status but from a 'costs vs quality' or 'costs vs functions' perspective I'm not impressed with their modules.
Maths alternatives for half the price/A bit weird envelope generators: Befaco Rampage, Nano Arc, Cre8audio Function Junction.
I think you will really enjoy Schlappi Engineering Boundary Layer, it's slightly more expensive than Maths but has three channels and all kinds of logic functionalities, it also works as a chaotic oscillator and the envelopes are super tight.
Low Pass Filter alternatives: Takaab 2LPG, Erica Synths LPG, DUAL BORG. I recently used the DUAL BORG for the first time. It's a dual low, band and high pass KORG MS-20 with two built-in LPGs. Pretty good feature set.

You're running a mostly mono path right up to the MN X-pan and Beface Out. To take full advantage, either add more stereo stuff earlier in the path (stereo filter, stereo effects module) or swap out these modules for a quad VCA mixer or something like this. Depending on your setup, you can go straight out the VCAs without needing an extra output module.

Good luck, have fun.

Another go with the MPC Sample

Still working on our performance patches. This shows the two systems I will be performing with for our April 4th show.

...to be continued

Like new, in perfect condition in its original box

I agree with trying to avoid 2hp modules when you can. Especially in a small rack and right next to each other. They become very difficult to work with. I also like to get utility modules that do more than one thing. As long as you don't need all the features at once, they can make a nice toolbox to play around with. Once other thing to make the setup look a little less cramped, and this is just a visual thing, alternate light and dark modules in the case. When you bunch light and dark modules together, they can appear to meld into one another.

So good, and thank you for all your continued hard work and dedication to this marvellous place. :-)

I REALLY miss the Youtube links at the bottom. Any reason for removing them?

They should be there on most module views. Sometime we run into YouTubes API limits but that resolves by itself after some time.

Also, alternative faceplates on a module's page are tiny now.

Hey, I just would like to share that I have released my first iOS app — Rope.

Rope is a flexible MIDI to CV converter AUv3 extension wrapped into iOS app that lets you control your modular synth using any source of MIDI signal: another AU extension e.g. a sequencer or hardware MIDI interface, Octatrack or controller.

Rope doesn’t work standalone and in Garage Band. It requires “AUM” (AUv3 host app) to launch the Rope app and a DC‑coupled audio interface (for example, Expert Sleepers ES‑8) to output CV to your Eurorack modular system. Regular audio-interfaces are AC-coupled and can’t output CV signals.

With Rope, you can quickly select a source MIDI channel and map events as:
* Gate
* Pitch
* Velocity
* Pitch Bend
* Aftertouch
* CCs
to 2 CV outputs (supported by AUM). By default it loads with Gate and Pitch.

More Planner improvements

• Fixed a bug that prevented to scroll the rack on iPad when you dragged a Module
• 1U Modules cannot be dropped in 3U rows anymore
• you can no longer drop a module halfway between two rows—it will snap to one of them. In rare cases, this may trigger the Cat of Dread.
• minor CSS fixes. If you try to add a module to a locked rack, you will now see a more visible colored warning instead of the approval thumbs-up which was unintended kind of passive aggressive.

Back to Qatar for work!

Thank you for taking the time to reply. No I don't own any modules yet. You've given me a lot to consider. I think I am over planning without knowing what will work for me.

That's especially great advice about picking up some logic, maybe a Maths or some other modulation, and a switch as a start. Then experiment with sequencing what I already have. Ill get some good usage out of just that for quite a while until I know what my next modules will be.

Dive on in and take it slow.

Do you have any of these? The easiest way to get going on this and clarify your needs and demands is to just get a couple of the things you absolutely want the most and then figure it out from there. The good thing is that you already have a DFAM and a 0-Coast so you don't need a "basic signal path" to get started. You can just start picking up whatever you want to try that might add to what you already like and want from those. It's not adivisable to get it all at once - something always comes up to complicate things or necessitate a different module be swapped in. (For example, you'll either have to sub in a different low pass gate or hunt one down and likely pay way more than necessary for that LxD, since it's discontinued and sort of a cult item). Doing this gradually will give you more time to think and more trial and error period without the wasted time of selling things that don't make the cut or the overload of learning too many things at once. To me it almost sounds like you should start by experimenting with different logic modules and the like first, since that's the thing you don't currently have and seem most interested in. The oscillators and filters are probably good to have as well (especially the LPG if you want percussion that feels snappy and is easy to set up), but you can already make sounds and probably already understand that side of signal flow.

And pick bigger modules where you can. Not only will you find this cramped, but 2hp modules are just a nightmare to use in general. They work great in terms of their functions as far as I've seen but both the ones I had were tough to fit in a case. That's another issue here. All these small modules are going to create opportunities for ribbon cables and the like to make it harder to fit everything in (even if your case is more than deep enough). Some kickass modules are just small, but this exact functionality would be much easier and better if it took up roughly twice as much space (or more, but don't get too crazy).

I would really appreciate some guidance if anyone has any thoughts. It seems I keep making variations of the same case. Whether it's 6u or 3u, but the result seems cramped and uninspired because I'm probably cramming too much in. I see videos of cases that are a handful of modules that seem more interesting and sound great.

Things that interest me are modulating sequencer output, clock modulation, switches, logic and lots of cv modulation. Non-generative controlled chaos if that makes sense. I have an Analog 4 for sequencing and other semi modular gear (dfam, 0cost, some other stuff with cv and cv sequencers). I'm less interested in multifunction devices with menus. I could drop the dfam into a case but it seems crude somehow haha.

Ideally, the case would provide a couple synth voices that could alternatively provide a few percussive voices. I'm not attached to any of the modules in the example below, but I do love the sound of the STO and Godspeed. The Stages clone seems versatile but maybe a maths would be more interesting.

And just to clarify: I've given a lot of long-winded feelings and advice, but that Doepfer VCA is the only thing that I'd caution you as being an actual mistake. You won't be able to separately control your audio and filter envelopes, nor can you use the extra VCA channels for "general utility" purposes since they're locked into your articulaiton curve.

One option would be to replace that Doepfer A-135-3 with an A-135-2. This sacrifices the stereo capability of the -3, but gives you individual CV for each channel, individual VCA outputs, "Sum" output (ie the mix of all 4 VCAs), and "Select" outputs (ie the mix of all VCAs where you didn't directly patch the output).

Other option would be a more full-featured VCA like the Intellijel Quad VCA, ALA Cloaks (a clone of MI Veils), or Behringer Four Play (a clone of IJ's Quad VCA, if you're not opposed to Behringer). Or, the Doepfer A-135-2 alongside the A-135-3 as your output mixer. All of these have each of these features per individual VCA:
* Mono Input
* Mono Output
* CV In
* CV Attenuator
* CV Offset (not crucial but nice to have)
* Linear/Exponential CV response (not Doepfer) (not crucial but nice to have)
* +6dB boost (IJ/Behringer only) (not crucial but nice to have)

Plus, they normal their output to the next output, allowing them to work as a pseudo-mixer in addition to as a VCA.
