Add DFAM-Thing (Euro)-Version from Serendipity? ( from Ken Wessens )

I went to an Autechre show recently, and I got the idea that I could to make something similar on the little modular. Wellllllllll, as it turns out, no. But I did make this.

Out of the rack a PO-12 is doing the basic drums, and I have Bastl Thyme+ on a send (aka 2hp mix) for ambience. Otherwise I took seven channels of Pams and three AD envelopes (triggered from BSP) and plugged then into pretty much every place possible on both BIA and Crust. (Via a bunch of switches, mults, and attenuators.)

I think what it lacks (as an Autechre track) is the speeding-up slowing-down rhythms they like to do. Not sure how to achieve that in this rack. A VC switch and/or a clock multiplier would help.

Hi,
i am building my first diy case,
84hp 4u, and have some questions.
Particularpy i wonder why i didnt see so often that people just use the side of a rail for sliding nuts to mount a case.
i found a custom manufracturer for cheap aluminium u profiles that can be customized exactly so they basicly just need some holes drilled on the edges to be mounted to the side of the rails.
in theory that would be quite practical. just cut lasercut sidepanels, mount the rails, mount the u profile - maybe with some additional angle to also mount it to the sidepanels - but thats it and sounds super easy in theory.
am i missing something why i don't see tha so often?

attaching screenshots.. the aluminium u profile can be for example 2 or 3 mm

few general recommendations:

for any genre/subgenre anything to do with industrial, i'd definitely
include a (lofi/semi-lofi) wavetable sound source. for sequences, leads,
drones etc. my goto choice for this are:

piston honda mk1 and mk2. latter much easier to find. mk3 is powerful,
two osc cores etc, but unfortunately has audible inherent slew, when you
drive fast pitch sequences.

also, adore the sound of xaoc berlin/jena combo. somewhat expensive but
has that beautiful archaic 8-bit ppg vibe.

feed that into a nice, edgy filter like manhattan ma35, erica polivoks
or something of rolandish or 3320 variety.. gstorm jp6, sh101, pro vcf etc.
and off you go...

also, i'd suggest having few different flavors in your distortion/drive palette.
my favorites are:

bj mimosa stereo (or mono: lila) - hi voltage tube drive/saturation
eowave germania 241 mk2 - germanium vca/drive
ryo opdodist - vactrol based drive

cheers

A soundscape demonstration of DIY Rob Hordijk's Benjolin module using a 1 note Westlicht Performer sequencer in drone mode.

All Soundscape sounds are from the Benjolin module, bass drum from the DIY Mutable Instruments Peaks.

Added a little reverb and delay for effects. Great module for those weird Alien, Drone and Dystopian Cyberpunk type landscape ...

the most recommondations would be a bit expensive.

I like for sounddesign:

Befaco Oneiroi: as looper, fx processor - combines delay, resonator, delay and more

Befaco Noise Plethora - digital noise source with analog filters

Bastl Dark Matter for industrial feedback and rhyrmically modulation

Mimeophon for delayed Feedback and Karplus Strong

Make Noise Spectraphon to alter spectral character of sounds

Qu-Bit Aurora Spectral Reverb - adds a special spectral effect

Schlappi Angle Grinder - as filter, waveshaper or vco

Benjolin V2 - as multimode filter filter and sound design tool

Rabbit Hole Apollow View - for Tube Saturation / -distortion

schlappi BTFLD

Plasma drive - erica synths / game changer audio

Koszalin Xaoc Devices

Beware, @tiltedtension has some false advertisements listed and is scamming folks here. Prices very low, and I should have known too good to be true.

They will not respond to any messages since payment was made and have not sent me the module I paid them for. They have also listed more advertisements for sale since.

Unfortunately I seem to have been scammed by @tiltedtension too. Obviously he has refined his methods because this time the price was "good" but not "suspectibly good". After I was naive enough to send payment: silence. After several messages from me asking for a tracking number that he had promised I got a reply with excuses and then again: silence. Meanwhile he is posting more modules for sale in the marketplace for low prices, obviously to scam more people here before he get banned. I also noticed a newly created (obvious) fake account giving him positive feedback. Don't send any money to this account or to the PayPal address tilted.tension@gmx.de.

Is the build for Batumi really open source? I'm inclined to say false.

I enjoyed the one I once owned too.
as mentioned especially the inbuilt mutes. but happy nerdings stuff is just the best when you're building a compact system or short on space, definitely slept on.

there modules also offer the most flexible options in eurorack for base utility like mixing.
the Mia especially opened up more intresting modulation options then i could achive before, and turned quickly into one of the most important modules in the rack.

I really enjoyed my Mixup, it was the first mixer I bought, a great little mixer with good options for a smaller system.
Happy Nerding are, overall, well priced and great modules.

FYI: If you're looking for a compact stereo mixer the 4x Stereo Mix by Happy Nerding offers 4 channels in 4 hp.
Though it dosn't have mixups mutes which I confess are pretty handy, and some maybe don't like the dual pot design. (Personally I prefer it)

I don't think there's any question, that all Happy Nerdings utility mixers, including MIA, 6 MIX are around the best modules for bread and butter mixing you will find in modular world...for CV and audio purposes.

Just don't think this deserves the top spot as the best stereo utility mixer...

if your goal is primary Sounddesign, there is much missing.
in this racksize, to much modulation
(your bottom row is gone for modulation.)
the Captain O is redundant if want to process extern synths otherwize its just another modulationsource

if you dont are on a small budget and must rely on Behringer stuff, there are other incedible options, at least for the Sounddesign part.

You may focus on either junction or abacus or the doepfer adsr and drop the rest.
same for waves or four lfo.

the sounddesign capabilities of this rack are very limited.

you may look for modules which combine several ways to process audio in one, like waveshaping, saturation, filtering, delay, feedback and so on.

Also a nice filter for pinging.

if you want to go the low budget route, you may get a much bigger rack for the big sized behringer clones.

but I would invest in 1-2 more high quality modules for Sound-Design.

like Malstrom Wyvern (Filter+ Saturation) or intellijel Sealegs Delay, reverb, saturation)

-- VONDENFUNKEN

Thank you so much! So if I understood correctly, you recommend centering on a single function generator module, add another filter beyond Swords, maybe going for a larger case (like those Behringer go ones I understand?), and add modules that expand the rack's sound design capabilities. Is there anything you recommend besides Wyvern or Sealegs? Thank you so much!

Limited high-quality audio output processing, No Sequencer, Missing Texture space. Can use more VCA (random, chaos), distortion, Bit-Crush, FX, Stereo/multi-output for monitoring and capturing better quality.
-- jaflux

Much appreciated!! Are there any modules you recommend for those uses? I'm specially intrigued about texture and the lack of good audio outputs. As for the sequencer, I intend to use this system with a couple of Korg SQ-1s, but I'm definitely interested in something like a Steps/Stages.

Great-thank you kindly for your help!

Hi JNH-83,

Did your case include a Konstant Lab BoardPWR power supply?
If yes, the recommended pairing is the Meanwell GSM60A18-P1J.
https://konstantlab.audio/shop/power-brick-60w/

Cheers,
Cliff

Hi all,
I have two Mean Well bricks for Blackhole Cases that I mixed up while moving. They're different specs:

a). GST40A12-P1J, 12V-3.34A, 40W max.
b). GSM60A18-P1J, 18V-3.33A, 60W max.

I have the 104 HP version.

Can somebody please check their 104 HP case's power supply and tell me their specs?

Thanks.

This is a beutifully made panel, that looks stunning, credit where credits due.
I also have this style panel on my Pam's Pro and it's also lovely!

The same cannot be said for most of mork modules other black panels which leave a lot to be desired.
black in my opinion is not bluey grey, they look like they've been printed with a cheep ink jet.

For the price mork charge this is unacceptable!

hi everyone,

i wanted to get some advice on my current eurorack setup. this is my first euroack build and it's a hybrid with a digitakt 2 which i use for sequencing, clocking and drums. i wanted to use this hybrid setup to make ambient and also techno music, but also to sequence and control visual art from touchdesigner using a CV to MIDI converter. i like using it as a hands on performance instrument as well as using generative techniques

the one thing i think that im missing is more modulation, but im thinking whether or not i should switch out the m32 for the moog labyrinth or just more modules like quadrax or another sequencer in the 60HP space. does anyone have suggestions? any advice is appreciated:)

Converting everything (twice) is overcomplicating things imo. Just get a blokas midihub, process midi coming from your synth and send it back out as cc's. You can f.i. generate random values on every incoming midi note. Just keep in mind: midi will never be as smooth as cv. If you really wonna go with a module, check ORN8 (O_c Teensy4.1 running Phazerville). Full midi support.

"everyone who owns the module gets the exact same rhythm. No internet connected needed."
Two of these should get out of sync sooner or later. Might be interesting to connect them through some logic
and see what happens ;-)
Edit2: Um, will possibly take too long to be of interest.

Edit:
its home page says this:
"note: in order to set the clock, you need to download a fresh copy of the firmware. When you download the firmware, the current time is embedded inside of it which is copied to the module when you boot it (so don't wait more than a minute or two after downloading the firmware to upload it to the module."

So the time is actually stamped into the firmware when you donwload it, interesting.

I want to augment a poly synth with more envelopes over midi. My idea is to convert polyphonic midi data to just a series of cv gates (probably with the rk-006). Then I need some AE module to take those gates to trigger a sequence of gates. The sequence separate outs, so that they are polyphonic, will go to maybe 4-8 separate envelopes. These envelopes will be converted to midi cc with the CVMx module and my midi poly synth will have more envelopes than it did before.

I've looked at the sequencer modules for AE modular and the I've looked at the IMDI poly conversion chain. While the IMDI would probably work, I don't need the other data (pitch, bend, etc) and would be less modules if the sequencer method could work. But I'm not quite seeing the best sequencer module for the job. What module am I looking for?

Power draw for this module is:
160 mA +12V
4 mA -12V
0 mA +5V

I have pretty big hands and have no issue tweaking the knobs. Just gotta place it in a sensible place in your rack where it isn’t up against other modules knobs. Anyway, fantastic sounding filter that screams in resonance. Super happy with it.

Absolutely love this module...great idea,well executed,,fair price too...loadsa fun,,100%.

I'm very excited to announce the FlatSix Modular Shroud Of Turing.

It's been a long road trying to make it a reality, but this latest entry into the Nocturne Alchemy Platform is live. If you have any of the other modules, you can simply flash the firmware from the website, and you are good to go. The inspiration behind it is the Music Thing Modular Turing Machine (Thanks Tom!) which I have long been a fan of. In fact it was one of my first few DIY modules and I have two fully expanded ones in my own rack. It takes that concept, but adds in a keyboard-based quantizer, with 6 slots to save the scales you come up with on the fly. It also has a manual reset, sequence rotation, and bit manipulation so you can sculpt the sequences you find into something even more inspiring. I find it a lot of fun to play with, and I hope you all do too. Cheers!

You're still not really clarifying anything about your use case...Yeah, if you want to make music you want rhythm and melody. That doesn't get us any closer to recommendations that meet your intended workflow.

Are you intending to play this alongside other instruments? Do you have any kind of controller you wan to use with it (eg MIDI keyboard, drum pad, ribbon controller, etc)? Are you trying to make something that you'll live-interact with, or something more generative that you more or less set up and let it run itself? Do you want to program in a melody, or "discover" melodies from a random source?
-- Bassman1805
No other sources for the final track will be eurorack format! I will record the output into a multitrack software editor and work with audio files there... or Live ...using Warping! I have midi controllers around...now the live interaction aspect depends on the specific nature of that voice/osc...the voices im interested in, are not traditional mono signal with clear frequency osc ..so it requires a different approach..maybe in between live interaction and generative. But im not here for the artistic aspect..( i know what i have to do there :) ) it's more for productive exchange of ideas!

here´s it´s in a rack.

Version 1: Clank as sequencer + Pams for modulation
Version 2: Jam-friendly turing maschine setup

but ....

if you are really just starting, dont focus on small mini setups (before you know that this exact what you want)
Get a mantis case and start exploring a standard synth voice
or build a utility rack and combine it with a semi modular desktop synth

this special voices like vihkkx or plasma voice are special stuff
maybe not the best to learn and starting out

and if you only want to do sequencing without much modulation and modular workarounts, then it´s probably better to get a used Oxi One or something which fits on the desk.

Me personally like mini setups for special purposes but it´s mostly quiet hard to do them and very expensive for that special individual concept.

If a standard desktop synth can do what you want and maybe also has sequencer and modulation - it´s mostly easier and less expansive.

This rack here will cost like 1500 € - You could also get a nice high end desktop synth for it. (Just to mention)
-- VONDENFUNKEN

True...it's just their sound timbre ( of these two special osc/voices) is so special...not sure if there is a dedicated noise synthesizer that offer those specs ( maybe close to it , yes...). So these small systems will basically be the background in a larger recording ...or track build up...no midi involved ...just audio ! Thank you for your systems! I like for example Newfangled audio generate...but i kinda want to stay away from software , if possible!

Plasma voice looks way cooler than it sounds and it's a one-trick pony. Nothing wrong with that, of course. But if you are just getting started, I would suggest something more versatile. There are countless voices out there that can achieve that sound. I recommend Noise Engineering stuff for what you are proposing.
When you mention using external FX, I am assuming pedals, yeah? Either way, add a ADDAC200PI module and you can have access to two different FX chains with proper audio signal attenuation both ways.
Something like this combo seems to fit your request:

I think something like this would be great. Just adding folders is probably not the most difficult thing so I'm going to scope creep the hell out of this simple request and say it would be nice if the grouping were more meaningful. Potentially even giving you the opportunity to view multiple racks at the same time.

I think adding this part to the request makes it a much more complex UX problem, but I'm sure a lot of people have multiple cases and it would be nice to have an easy way to see which modules are being used where. I can sometimes accomplish this by making one MEGA rack, but that's getting harder to do since I have 84, 89, and 104 width racks.

Having an option to group rack in the command center and view them all at once would be nice, but I think adding an option to share modules across a group would be nice. Maybe you can make a folder in Command Center and select "logical" or "real" where "real" will show module counts across the whole folder and "logical" just groups them for organizational purposes.

Even if that is just too much to make work cleanly, I still like the idea of just folders for grouping. I like to keep some record of historical setups from time to time. It would be nice to have a "2025 summer/fall" folder and "2026 winter/spring" folder.

Does this also apply for DIY modules? The shop/store criteria won't really fit there, but there are folks out there who provide open-source layouts for free - and I'm not talking schematics only, but ready-made Gerber files to have a decent module made. While HAGIWO, for example (as a well-known and highly represented creator of module designs) wouldn't qualify as he's building perfboard mostly, his schematics have frequently been incorporated in PCB-based modules, so I'm suggesting to add those, as the entry barrier in DIY is significantly lowered there, compared to providing schematics and code only. Crediting the original author of the design should however be considered polite and common practice. Thinking about Testbild in particular, as I have added a couple of his modules recently. While he offers some of HAGIWO's modules, he's also done outstanding work on his own, building something what he describes himself as a Maths clone without using their documentation, based on VCS designs from Voxmachina. So, while he's not selling anything, he should somehow be represented in some form IMO.

Thanks for your input Chris! I want to stay inside the pod and ill def check ClanK!

I have external effect processors, so basically you'll go with the clank and plasma in this 48hp?

( i know i bring limitations with this rack size ...but i feel i need to start basic and focused ...being a newbie in eurorack!)

Maybe you can upload your take on this 48 hp with plasma, clank and befaco output. Appreciate!
P.

Wow. Thank you for introducing this beast to me.
Now I need one.
I saw there are cool accent modes on the plasma voice and it even works with midi.

My first idea would be to try the Torso T1 sequencer with it.
I imagine it could be a good fit.

T1 is nice for rhytmic stuff and arps.
And it´s small and looks good besides a small pod.

If you want something in your rack:
Clank Chaos is nice to generate a full random sequence and change it until you like it.
Can go really bonkers - you have to carve the sequences out

Plasma voice seems to have all in it, filter, envelope, distortion = full voice
maybe just add a reverb pedal or any fx of taste.

just pod + sequencer + pedal

or maybe does a MN Mimeophon fit in your pod?

I have my hands on NE Gamut Repetitor and Multi Repetitor at the moment. These could be a good match as well.
Gamut Repetitor offers also nice arps but more on the fly like a turing maschine without save and recall -option.

I saw the performance of the creator with a Erica Black sequencer - also very nice.

But with your small case better use an external sequencer.

The Plasma Voice module doesn't need an external EG, it has one built in. It's a voice, not an oscillator, so it has its own EG and filter.

It can be controlled by CV or MIDI, so it's on you which of those routes you want to pursue.

You haven't really described what you want to do with this, other than plug it into an external FX processor. Hard to make any recommendations if you don't have a defined use case. What works well for one setup may not work well in another.

Hey Bassman, i want phrases that can be rather melodic or percussive ( as i mentioned in the first post)...now, ill like something as a first sketch...with actual modules...so i can start talking about...scale/note specs since i mentioned " melodical " and sure, sequencer specs

I intend to build a small system around one voice ( plasma voice from Gamechange Audio) using a 48 hp pod! ( i might consider expand ,if a specific setup will bring more on the table ) again, i will only use plasma voice as osc/voice!

I want to have rhythm with this voice...phrases that can be rather melodic or percussive, but not too advanced deep modulations! System needs an output module !
I am using external effect processors!

Would you go tactile/ spontaneous trigs/gates or would you use an actual small sequencer/arpeggiator? I suppose a sequencer/arpeggiator would fit better!
What envelope generator would you use?

Would appreciate your vision on this system!

At 28-11-2025 Estroe and I played a modular liveset at Lab1 in Eindhoven opening for the wonderful ‪Andrea Cichecki‬
It was a very special night and a part of our set was captured on film beautifully. All music heard in this video was performed live by us and recorded straight to our mixer. We did some mastering and a little bit of mixing afterwards but no effects or heavy audio editing was added to the recording. Please enjoy and do let us know what you think about our set!

EDITED Feb 22nd, 16:42

I’ve been dabbling in modular for quite a while, but up until recently I mostly treated my system as a collection of independent monosynth voices. Lately I’ve started taking modular much more seriously, and my goal has shifted toward building a performance-oriented system capable of generating full, semi-generative tracks — IDM, acid, techno, etc.

What I’m aiming for is less of a traditional “play notes on a synth” workflow and more of a living system where sequencing, modulation, probability, and interaction drive the music forward. I want the patch to behave like an ecosystem — patterns evolving, rhythms mutating, voices influencing each other — rather than a set of isolated voices running static loops.

As you can see, I already have a wide range of sound sources, but I suspect what I really need now is more plumbing — routing, modulation infrastructure, logic, interaction, and system-level control. The RackBrute sits horizontally at the base of the Mega Rack and functions as a kind of control surface. That’s where I keep most of my logic and trigger processing. I’m still very much learning, but I’m trying to move toward a setup where everything interacts dynamically instead of operating independently.

I’d love to hear ideas from people who think in terms of systems rather than individual modules. What would help transform this into a more cohesive, interacting ecosystem? Where are the likely weak points? What kinds of “plumbing” tend to unlock the most potential in large, performance-focused modular systems?

For recording, I plan to capture evolving takes as stems into a Bluebox and then develop them further outside the rack.

I’m approaching this with a beginner’s mindset and fully aware there’s a lot I don’t yet understand, so I’d really appreciate any guidance, architectural thoughts, or suggestions on how to make the system more cohesive, playable, and alive.

Here is the rack brute that sits at the base of the mega rack:

Here is the mega rack so far:

All those signals and no way to easily share them.
You need some active multiples.

I make industrial synthpunk. My goal is building a eurorack synth for sound design, like generation 1 pokémon cries, complementing the Behringer Grind and Behringer K2 mkii I already have+offering extra utilities for them, and running the audio signal of my non-modular synths through it. Rhythmic stuff and live performance are not a priority, but I have a couple of Korg SQ-1s lying around.

What do you think? I'm considering replacing the second 3xMIA with a filter or maybe an effects unit. Maybe I'm missing something important that could take those 6hp?

Hi,
I'm Gilles from Kaona, I just published the new version of Zazou:

• One envelope per track, triggered by note or by sequence, in step mode or continuously.
• Envelopes output as CV and MIDI across 4 channels. A Step mode lets you use four independent envelopes with any connected instrument.
• Over 20 new sequences, with diatonic handling.
• Harmony mode: Free, Alternating, Interpreted Diatonic, Forced Diatonic.
• New algorithms: Tintinnabuli (Arvo Pärt triads), Wander (controlled chaotic walk), Archimedes (variations around π), Guidetone (random lines toward target notes).
• Improved fractal algorithms with a new musical engine: Cantor, Fibonacci, Sierpinski, Mandelbrot, Julia.
• New autosave and a new file format.
• 100% compatible with all versions of Zazou (except save files).

Free update.

I have added a Selecta and a Doepfer Slew Limiter, because they are simple, and looking them up should explain the concept well. You should look into other modules with similar features before making any decision, and don't feel like you need to do it this way. I have also added a breakout for the Beatstep Pro to represent its outputs, but as far as I know, this is not even available and you do not need it.

https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/patches/modulargrid_133545.jpg

This is simple enough. You send the sequencer output into the slew limiter and it smooths out the rising and/or falling edges of your signal, making it more wavy and round so it sounds less like a "sequence" and more like an LFO or repeating smooth randomness that you can control with the sequencer knobs. It kinda lets you "draw" modulation in a limited sense.

https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/patches/modulargrid_133546.jpg

This is the gates/triggers and envelopes combined in the Selecta. One envelope goes to the VCA so it can be brought down and used for rhythmic variety. The logic circuit combines them in ways where they don't do weird stuff at the moment when both envelopes are still running. The switch section can be used for lots of things, but one potential use is to extend the amount of things to feed into the OR combiner and create something where you can switch between lots of different kinds of gate and trigger patterns. This module is passive, so it only works with positive voltage, but that's fine for gates and output from the Fuji and Pam's. Different kinds of logic will produce different results, so be sure to look into all the different kinds and see what's available (Erica Synths make a Pico module where you can switch between different modes, Instruo has one with a bunch of types and cascading inputs and Takaab makes a collection of logic modules that can be powered from a single cable).

I don't own a Pam's New Workout, so you'll have to kind of imagine from here whether or not it still helps you. I imagine there's plenty it can do in this context, especially since it apparently also just puts out positive voltage, so you can send it to cheap passive modules and see what happens. Obviously, this should just be taken as a rough outline of a way to use these modules and expand them with very minimal extra spending. What happens from here should be determined with a lot of trial and error through experimenting with what you already have here.

Don't expect you'll get this much feedback on most things, either. My job is slow right now. You and Youtube should be able to take it from here.
