I have been using the Squarp Hermod from the start of my modular journey, still very happy with it, especially since Squarp has kept releasing significant firmware updates to this day, making it a sequencing powerhouse. I really appreciate such companies who still keep supporting their modules years after release.
I can drive the modular voices via external MIDI, I can have well behaved programmed sequences or completely random and anything in between with the MIDI effects, I can drive mono or multi-timbral voices, you name it. I find it's a very nice option for small-ish racks because the functionality per HP is just insane.
Recently I picked up Marbles and so far, I've been using a small Doepfer quad switch to quickly have a choice of sequencing from Marbles or Hermod for 2 of my voices, and am now looking for ways of combining both sequencers using logic. Lugia came up with a fantastic version of my rack which I'm still wrapping my head around, involving a very complex modulation section. With that golden advice in my mental toolbox, I'm now exploring the logic apps of O&C Hemispheres to find a way to tie everything together. Will also pick up a Quadrax with expander whose numerous gate outputs should provide more ways for the pieces of the patches to interact together.
Suggestions on using modular magic to combine sequencers welcome ! :)

Hi everyone, greetings from Bristol, UK.
I've just bought a 'Behringer Eurorack go', it comes with a power supply. All I know about Modular synthesis comes from watching 'I dream of wires' twice. So nothing. I have a Neutron, but that's it atm.
From there can I buy any Eurorack modules(will they be compatible ?). I have no plan, apart from to make as much noise as I can.
Does anyone have a Neutron in their rack and what modules work well with it ?. I have many kids, so will be building slowly, but would like to get a couple of extra modules now.
Any advice you have is greatly appreciated.
Latest track/performance:
exactly - worst case scenario is you need some utilities to get everything to play nicely together - you could even use a couple of mults or stackcables and do both!!!
I've not seen many nonlinearcircuits modules around - I built a triple sloths which i use a lot - a nice easy smd build iirc - did you build it or buy it?

Right. Erica didn't complain about my using their quad lane Pico Trigg trigger generator to drive the x and y clocks of my Bindubba sequencer (rather than their Pico drums ;-))
don't listen to the newbie!!! he's only been around a year, apart from the part about listening to me, of course!!!
hahha
but seriously some good pointers there from sacguy71!
I don't have any harvestman/ime modules and probably never will have - listen before you buy (as with everything!!!)
Filters are good get these - more than you think you need, variety is the spice of life and you will get more variety from filters than analog vcos, for example - especially as a lot of filters can be oscillators too! but again - listen
the path to finding the sequencer that is for you can be a long and arduous one - and it may be a combination of modules not just one - I have a combination of about 6 or 7 (one of which I'm not keen on but will move to a different location to focus on it a bit more before thinking about getting rid of it) which together make up a complex sequencer - because they all do different things that I need in my sequencer! it's really down to the workflow you want and the functionality you need - not other peoples' workflow and needs
I think at least 25-30% of the rack should be utilities for it to become anywhere near balanced - a decent selection of different things and there is nothing wrong with duplicate - most of my vcas are the same and I have multiple shades for example
Mixers, there are so many too choose from! get a bigger one than you think you need for a final mixer - or an expandable one - I have a tesseract tex-mix 8 mono channels and 4 stereo - which cost less than half of the performance mixer - there are a few features missing, most of which I have anyway - or can patch easily - such as auto-panning if I want it - but it has the advantage that if I want to add an extra 4 channels then I can for relatively little and the direct outs are post-fader and inexpensive and have 1/4" as well as 1/8" jacks if you want that (although you do loose some channels using the 1/4")

I'm on the same Safari version. Strangely I couldn't reproduce this behaviour just now. Because scrolling actually steals focus from the search field as soon as the cursor is over the rack. But I'm sure what you're describing has happened to me before as well. Just don't know I did it. Do the 'd' and 'v' keys also insert new modules while you're in the search field?
ok cool - it's great to hear that!!!!
now stop seeing the 3 cases as separate instruments and see a single modular synthesizer - then combine sequencers!!! - I'd use the euclidian circles to clock nearly everything including the sequencers!

This only ever happens to me when I forget to move the cursor away from the rack. Maybe executing shortcuts could be disabled when the search field has the focus?

It happens to me often, even while the search field has the focus. I’m not sure that’s the answer, but if there’s a way to try it... sure, why not?
I’m on Safari 14.x, so it’s not like I’m on some ancient unsupported browser.
instead of chasing functionality of different sequencers - have you considered combining the sequencers you have into a complex sequencer?
-- JimHowell1970
Yes, indeed I have and do this already. I feed external clock from Eloquencer to my Varigate 4+ and use these in my base case and have fun with the tonal variations. On my smaller 6u case, I feed PNW into Mimetic Digalis and mix that with Euclidian Circles for beats. Then modulate it like crazy with Batumi and Quadrax!
For my MDLR 14u case, I use a combination of WMD Metron with Stillson Hammer MK2, Acid Rain Maestro and Rossum mob of emus for pure chaos. This is tons of fun because I can cross modulate with infinite options and flexibility. Maestro has multiple swim lane channels of pattern modulation that can be saved as presets sort of and used with other modules. Mob of Emus has crazy options as well.
So for now, I really don't need any more sequencers as I have a real powerhouse arsenal of sequencers and modulators to my heart's content! I am soo glad that I took your advice to invest in support modules like VCAs, attenuators/attenuverters, mults, logic, matrix mixer, sequential switches and so forth as they come in super useful for patches. At first I had no idea what to do with them but over time, they are used in most patches for random generative stuff.
This only ever happens to me when I forget to move the cursor away from the rack. Maybe executing shortcuts could be disabled when the search field has the focus?
You know you can deactivate all shortcuts by clicking the Kbd Shortcuts button top right on the planner page?
-- modulargrid
I do, but all the other shortcuts work as expected. It is completely random that hitting delete a bunch of times in the text box field wipes out a bunch of stuff in my rack. If the options to disable all shortcuts was located closer to the module search field, it might be more manageable to use that as a preventative tool. Having to scroll up would ruin workflow as I'm trying to map out a new layout of my rack.

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities
well I don't really class O&C or disting as utility modules - they are too complex - and you can only use one or 2 functions at a time - and for me neither is Maths really - I just see Maths as Maths (same any other DUSG descendant) - it can do multiple things - but I'd rather have all that functionality in individual modules - and always keep maths for it's own thing
they are great learning tools - especially disting, for working out what modules you need - as opposed to the ones you want - and Maths for learning patch programming techniques that are useful throughout modular synthesis (see the illustrated guide - it has 32 different patches for maths)
matrix mixers (doepfer or aisynthesis perhaps) , sequential switches (doepfer is hard to beat for a simple one), offset/attnuversion (shades or similar), utility mixers, sample and hold etc etc etc
mostly they are inexpensive and relatively small - compared to 'feature' modules which are often expensive and large -
basically all the different plumbing functions that are (effectively) hidden in fixed architecture synths - which is why newbies often forget about them - because they have never actually realised that they exist - these are the things that are used to multiply, modify and merge particularly modulation signals - they are the dull polish that make the shiny expensive modules actually shine - they are often also crucial in interfacing between modules that have different voltage requirements for i/o
a well balanced mature modular should be around 50% modulation sources and utility modules (including end of chain mixers, etc) - most of which should be utility modules imo - fewer modulation sources and more utilities will give more complex modulation options than a lot of modulation sources and fewer utilities - probably works out much cheaper too!!

...
-- JimHowell1970
Yes I have. I Often combine two sequencers driven by clocks with different speed. A long standing plan is building a smallish case around 3 Penta sequencers. While a Penta with 5 steps at max hardly seems enough to be called a sequencer, combining two will give you complex sequences without much effort. Maybe that's why I'm not in a rush to get a complicated can-do-all machine. These seem to defy the reason and purpose of going modular in the first place.
Thanks for checking out the rack Jim! I’m not new to synths but am new to Eurorack and it’s possibilities. To be quite honest I’m already having lots of fun with it. I added a “planning” rack with some things I would like to add (with the knowledge I have right now). Besides the quad VCA a Peaks module is high on my wishlist for its LFO, envelope and other functions but also the Disting MK4. IF I would add two of these (or a second VCA module) and even add a Ripples filter I still have 24 HP left. Open for suggestions on certain utility modules that do things the O & C Hemisphere and Disting do not cover. If there is still space left I might eventually add an extra oscillator but as you correctly mention, that should be the last thing I need. Especially since certain modules also are able to function as an oscillator (although they lose their other functionality then). With my current cashflow/willingness to invest the rack should be finished in about a year.
instead of chasing functionality of different sequencers - have you considered combining the sequencers you have into a complex sequencer?
NE post a weekly(?) question on instagram - recently it was what do you use for a sequencer?
my answer was - "pnw, sinfonion, marbles, bsp, zularic repetitor, branches, erica pico seq and stepfader - patched as a single multichannel sequencer"

I just took a look at your rack - the public one in your profile
it's not just vcas you need it's utilities in general - in fact I would go so far as to say it needs nothing but utilities and maybe another modulation source - even if you take the dfam out in the future - there are enough feature modules and voices
good luck with the hunt for a quad cascading vca... might be worth looking for a used one and/or try wigglehunt.com! I just looked there are a few originals about new and used - the older version of veils is a great module if you can spare thee extra 2 hp (which you can!)

Excellent. Going to look through the A140-1 review today.
You must be in the academic world in another life. Your reviews have all the signifiers of a dissertation. :)
On a related note, Garfield, I need to get your thoughts on the Doepfer monster cases. Will be upgrading soon and not sure which configuration I need. I know you are a Doepfer fan, so I’ll post a new thread soon with more context.
Thanks for your attention to detail in your reviews!
Change of plans.....VCA’s are the next purchase since I do need them. Problem is I couldn’t find any on the short term. I just bought a Doepfer P9 (3 x 84 hp and PSU3). Since I have limited space, it’s more convenient for me to have the DFAM in the rack. I know it’s 60HP but I use it a lot for different things. Last week I made a plan with the P9 and this rack seems much better. Still plenty of room for a couple of VCA’s and modulation stuff + some oscillators and an extra filter. Still thanks for opening my eyes about the VCA’s!
Hi there and I am new since last year with similar goals.
Here are my recommendations and tips:
Filters- I like Harvestman/IME Bionic Lester since it has lots of infinite tone shaping options plus use presets
as well as lots of filter types from high pass to band pass. Another candidate would be Dual Borg love that filter.
Sequencers- super important I found for melodic options. I have a lot and found something like Eloquencer or Black Sequencer or Vector to be ideal because you can create and save presets for your melodic patches as well as create random, reverse and quantized scales without needing a separate quantizer module.
Utilities/tools- the less fun but crucial modules. You want mults, VCAs, sequential switch, logic all key for crafting unique patches. I like the Mutable Instruments Kinks and Links pair of modules for this in a small setup. Our very own @JimHowell1970 here turned me on to these functional modules and I have zero regrets. Another fun support module that I like is Tool Box from WMD/SSF which adds spice in small rack as it has logic, rectify, compare and switch all in one small HP module! Attenuators are super useful especially when using percussion and melodic patches. I like my WMD 4TTEN module since it has 4 sliders that are super ace for live performance with patches that can let you play your modular controls like an instrument.
Mixers- I started with a small 8 channel external K-mixer and love it but once I got a mixer dedicated for in box eurorack, I was hooked! Nothing beats the flexibility and ability to mix cv and audio in your case. I am a big fan of WMD Performance Mixer and Befaco Hex mixer and been having fun with my XAOC Devices Praga mixer. For a small mixer, I like my Intellijel Mixup and you can chain them together as well for larger mixer.
Thanks for the steer - I am moving toward Jim’s original suggestion to me of getting a mantis instead of a rack brute so could probably fit both. :-)
Hi Farkas, All,
As promised, I managed to create two new review reports for the Doepfer modules A-145-1 LFO and the A-140-1 ADSR EG; ready for download.
Just a very general and summarised view on my review reports, especially handy for those who don't want to read the entire approximately 70+ pages review report :-)
After the first head page, the contents tables and the introduction in chapter 1. The interesting reading straight away starts with chapter 2 - The module summarised. So if you don't have much time but just want to have a quick glance, you only have to checkout chapter 2.
In case that might have interested you into knowing more about the module, chapters 3 up till 6 can be read, and that's it. Chapter 7 is a large and extensive explanation of all the tables, parameters and characteristics used and mentioned in the previous chapters. Chapter 8 is the glossary. So it's actually only about chapters 2 up till 6, which are about twenty pages. So compared to 70+ pages, twenty isn't too bad, right? ;-)
Updated overview of the ready reviews for download:
Doepfer - A-110-1 VCO
Doepfer - A-124 SE Wasp filter
Doepfer - A-140-1 ADSR EG
Doepfer - A-145-1 LFO
Erica Synths - Pico Switch
Make Noise - Mult(-iple)
Waldorf - DVCA1 (dual VCA)
Reports planned for March are the Warna - II from Xaoc Devices and the Quad Switch from Hikari Instruments.
Thank you and kind regards, Garfield.

thank you for a pleasant transaction with @Eryck_Abecassis and @S0210! buy with confidence from both!
Cool. I still want a real Buchla and Serge panel one day. Would be fun to combine with eurorack.
-- sacguy71
Yes, I would like a Buchla too. I'm quite taken by the Easel. It's expensive, and compared to what you could buy in Eurorack for the same money, expensive I suppose. But I'm drawn to how well it has been designed and sometimes less is more. Although sometimes more is more too, I guess...
Sounds great. Plaits shines here. Buchla is alien to me but I'm always blown away by what people do with it. For patch inspiration I've used the Madrona Labs Aalto plug-in, which is inspired by Buchla system. You can get great patch ideas just by noodling around with it. Aalto
-- JoePaige
Yep, I'm finding that it pays to persist with Plaits (sorry about the alliteration!) and when I modulate it I've managed to get some quite gnarly sounds out of it, which I like. I was a bit worried at first that my rack was basically digital but the more I learn about the few modules I have, the more I see that there is always a new way to patch them up and get something cool. Thanks for the tip about Aalto. I've had a quick browse and it looks really cool. I'm going to download the demo and try it out. Cheers.
@ural, nice yeah I am trying to decide between the Erica Synths Black Sequencer and Vector with expander for my next modular sequencer. I really like the workflow of my Winter Eloquencer and being able to see 8 tracks at once of patterns and quickly change them on the fly instantly as well as save presets, chain songs, and so forth.
It was Nerdseq. Now it is Black Seq by Erica Synths.
there almost are always a few modules out of stock - it's just a bit worse at the moment...

This might be solvable with some ferrites. First up, these: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-csb31-525-5 These should go on the DC out from the Meanwell brick...open one up, loop the DC out line around it a couple of times right next to the brick, then snap it closed. That'll kill any RF on the DC line before it gets into the cab.
the power brick from intellijel already has that thing included might not be it.
but maybe I should get a new power brick
on the other hand there is still the noise in my girlfriend Intellijel 3 u /64 system :((
j.manuel
It sounds like you are doing all the right things to track down the noise.
One thing to be aware of is that if a module is dumping noise into the system that same noise can present at the output of other modules!
This can lead to a cascade of noise build up, the one problem becoming more amplified as more patch points are connected to the outputs.
The first time I encountered this it drove me crazy until I figured out what was going on, it just so happened that I had one module with a screen that was generating noise (as they do) right next to another module that was very prone to picking up noise! Who knew!!??
........I took out everything else changes rooms in the flats etc. Thats sadly no the problem
had this with the black mixer of Erica synths, it was picking up noises of the modular
:) Thank u

Hey everybody who's following this
Thank u @Kel_, JomHowell and Lugia
The problem is the noise or peep is clearly in the signal chain.
if I use it as a comb filter or pitched delay the same happens with the peep, also its also there when turned fully dry, or in case of the Vermona out, also when its turned down . Same with the intellijel 64 case from my girlfriend.
so the father of my girlfriend (he's far away in russia) who is an electro engineer said one problem could be our electricity at home. He suggested Tension compensation or Power Conditioner or Isolation-Transformator, ( I don't know the right term, he's Russian, I am German so there is a double translation). smth like https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Isolation-Transformer-Outlet/dp/B00006HPFH/
(f**k amazon)
or this
https://www.thomann.de/de/adam_hall_pcl_10_pro_power_conditioner.htm
it could lower the noise a bit...
The other pilot is the grounding. He said my case or few of the modules could have lost the grounding, as I just moved in, maybe there is a truth behind this. Or from the livestream performance at an other place idk..
also: i have stumbled across some similar product as Lugia described.
https://www.perfectcircuit.com/trogotronic-m-05-silencer.html.
Its sold out so I will try what Lugia posted. Do You have any experience with it?
The search continues. I am kind of a neurotic person now I am way more aware of the noise (and high Pitch tone) my
Morphagene has and the noise level the data bender has. xD its driving me nuts
A friend of me has a mutable beads by himself and a intellijel 104/ 7u (Bought 2018 as mine). He has found the same freq but way quitter is 4032 Hz. SO IT IS A GENRAL PROBLEM WITH THE BEADS AND THE CASE. But he said he could live with it mine is much louder, as he has heard in recordings I've sent him.
I´ve taken my beads and case to the studio I work at rn there is another beads too, but in a huge doepfer case.
Same frequency but way way quieter. I switched them, put mine in the rack. same freq but way quiter. So something I could live with.
had no time to listen to the other one in my case. But mine in my case had the same problem in this studio, so its no problem I only have at home.
Here a recording of a plaits going into the beads:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sdovpdyr1lyb6bn/IMG_2098.jpeg?dl=0
here only beads input is just from Xpan so the cable is not floating around and hums (same with an empty input from Optomix, maths or a Plaits with cable to the trigger in but not triggering)- U can hear how the beads pics up the Ground noise and it goes in the signal chain.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zoufj702puip2xv/beads%20quite%20xpan%20as%20input-%20acting%20as%20delay%20.mp3?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f41u8x1fetzg477/Humand%20Noise%20from%20the%20Data%20Bender.mp3?dl=0
next thing I will do is to test a doepfer a 100 case, with the modules at home.
Linear Power Adapters are a thing to:
But the could modulate oscillators and they are huge.
Maybe that's an option too
I think I will have to write Emelie from Mutable and to Intellijel. :/

Start with one of the basic oscillator "voice" sections (the Noise Reap one, actually...get used to all of the crossmod and sync possibilities there), plus the stereo submixer and probably the Linnaeus, as it'll have the steeper learning curve.
-- Lugia
Lugia,
I've taken your advice and gone with the Paradox, Linnaeus, and the Sub-Mixer as my first modules (along with an ES-9). The Linnaeus is certainly capable of so many things – just messing around with it is producing crazy stuff.

Haven't used the other two, but I struggle not to use my mimeophon in any rack it's been in, it just sounds so good.
my tunes: https://stevehand.bandcamp.com/
i have a dv and like it a lot, but it can only sort of be a delay at the lowest density setting. it’s mainly good for big washy tails and feedback. the sidechain is a nice touch. i use it on the distortion setting much of the time, and shimmer can be nice as well. it can be reflashed into a proper delay (Imitor Versio). i haven’t tried it but read mixed reviews - too many delay taps seems to be the consensus but of course that is personal taste.
personally i would love to have a mimeophon and think they would go well together. forced to pick one, i might go with the mimeophon just since it seems like it can do more overall. bigger and more expensive though, which is always the dilemma :)
Thanks, Garfield :)
I am inspired by birth, death and the events inbetween.
Thank you for posting this. The man himself has switched it to private mode.
I can't recommend using the X-Pan as a proper final mixer. It does what it should, true, but this probably needs more inputs plus some easier methods for panning. Instead, try one of these: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/ph-modular-mixer-black You'd need to connect to the XOH via a 3.5mm TRS to a stereo split 3.5mm pair with this, but that's not too much of a problem. You'd have to lose the Links, but it's probably more sensible in a small build like this as you can accomplish much of what it does with inline mults. Then, after the ph modular goes in, you'll have 2 hp left, and for that I'd suggest a 2hp VCA, which gives you two more linear VCAs specifically for modulation control. With everything else in there, that would probably button this up; I don't see anything else that jumps out at me on this build.
This might be solvable with some ferrites. First up, these: https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-csb31-525-5 These should go on the DC out from the Meanwell brick...open one up, loop the DC out line around it a couple of times right next to the brick, then snap it closed. That'll kill any RF on the DC line before it gets into the cab.
Next, you'll want two of these: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/LeaderTech/SA28B0071/?qs=70SGE8EoboRwQl%252BZe6ev%252BQ%3D%3D One goes on the ribbon cable near the busboard, and the other on the cable close to the module itself. This way, anything that CAN get onto the power line either won't make it off of the busboard, or if it's RFI inside the cab getting onto the ribbon itself, the ferrite by the module will stop that.
There's almost nothing left available anywhere is there... wow!
I sincerely wish you the very best of luck... it took me quite some time to put this together;
Love Harvestman stuff half my system is Harvestman and the other Make Noise. I am desperately after Double Andore MK1 and Bionic Lester MK1 if anyone has any leads, I got cash waiting to leave my pockets and based in UK
It beeps and boops... however, a few modules are out of stock... damn shame
Depends, if you already have similar modules like Plaits or Rings and don't have the Mimeophon or Desmodus then go for the effect module. Picking between Mimeophon and Desmodus is more difficult which is why I ended up getting both. Mimeophon can do more but Desmodus is way easier to use as a beginner to modular. All three are great modules! I have Plaits, Rings, Mimeophon and Desmodus and now I really want Beads aka Clouds v2 so that I can feed it into Rings for the old muff wiggler meme.
I've always liked the Mimeophon, but Desmodus is unique too (and you can change firmware on DV).
If you could only have one of these which would it be.
Context: I have a minibrute 2s and am buying a rackbrute 6u next week and my first ever two modules.
One will be plaits the other will be a reverb/delay.
After hours and hours on YouTube and modular grid I have these three on my final short list. (Although I really liked the qu-bit prism too)
I know the practical thing would be to get a multi-fx like the Erica Synth Dual or the FX Aid XL but I am totally going for fun over practicality.
Which one would you choose?
You will note that A-180-9 has an unequal number of channels. 8 for the top and 6 for the bottom. So if you order the Intellijel companion 1U modules this gets a bit confusing. Channel A = channel 2 on the Intellijel, and I presume you lose channel 8. So you don't get the full 16 channels pairing 2 Intellijel with an A-180-9. If you need all 8 channels on every Intellijel you buy, then you need an A-180-9 for EVERY Intellijel module. The bottom A-F channels are wasted. Unless you connect the A-F channels between Doepfers and leave the Intellijel out of it. Another one of those reading the fine print situations. And another tidbit if you use the bottom six A-180-9 sockets... A = 2, B = 1, C = 4, D = 3, and so on. an annoying byproduct of Ethernet wiring presumably.
