The new design makes the marketplace pages rather more difficult to view -- the actual module name is cut off on the right hand side.
(you can scroll side ways of course, but it's not all visible on the page as it was before.)

This also includes an external KO II and a Keystep Pro.

Finally starting my Eurorack. There were a few things I wanted to keep in mind while making this.

1. Relatively budget, maximum I wanted to spend was $3500, which includes the cost of the case, Keystep Pro, etc.
2. A lot of exploration, texture, and rich 'sound'.
3. I wanted a playground to figure out what sound I like and dislike.

With the KO II, I plan to use for external drums and the occasional sample, and my goal is to trend towards downtempo ambient with deep harmony and musical color.
I would like to hear y'alls thoughts, opinions, what I am lacking, if you think anything will be especially interesting, or if you have any experiences that you think I could benefit from hearing. I am a complete novice, so any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Yeah I appreciate that, thanks. At the same time, I'm hoping to get some insight into mixer choices and the number of voices, as well as the question of whether to include some FX or sequencing here.

i feel like i could use more things to modulate, and some proper freerunning lfos. fuji isnt the most effective in lfo mode.

Hi,

I recently added my Eurorack module to ModularGrid and I would like to request adding my manufacturer "WiloModules" to the database.

Module link:
https://modulargrid.net/e/other-unknown-o-c-t4-1-teensy-4-1

Website:
https://wilomodules.com/

Thank you very much!

I did some changes today however I am not sure if I did it right

• add a role of h2 to all the module titles in search results; this will make it faster to view.

module title h3 tags are now h2 tags

• When adding modules, it would be really helpful if there was a "row" combobox that was bounded from 1 to max rows, so if I click add and I'm on row 2, I can add it to row 2 (right now, I can only make one horribly long row)

I don't quite understand this request

• Can you add the module name to the alt text of a module? This would make it easy to view. Maybe even (hp) at the end so you know how many hp the module is?

modules in the planner now have module name and width in the alt

• The following won't change the appearance but will make this navigable by table:
  • The enclosing container is a div with id of restraint. Add role="table" to this.
  • The rows are a div with class grid-row. Add role="row" to this.
  • for cells, add role="cell".

I did all this but I am not sure if that is right and working. The #restrain is just the grid for the modules where they "snap in", the modules self are in div#modules which are positioned absolute on top.

• A switch in the module build to make modules focusable. This would add tabindex="0" to the module images. Then you can focus on it and use the keyboard commands.
• Some way to select a slot (if I have module A and B and move B to the right, I might want to add a blank panel here.

I have to look deeper in this.

• Where you have icons (like on the "add" links, for example, consider adding an aria-label like aria-label="add", which will announce the link as what it is. Right now they read as questionmarks.

I changed that on the module browser.

These would make this much more usable.
Thanks,

Check back what is improved and what is not, best, Knut

taking a look at this rack as it appears with all modules, the power consumption and all power data is available however, I’m still confused. Kind of that be able to apply that to a affordable power supply possibility for remote patching and was just inquiring to see if maybe others could suggest exactly how I would come to that conclusion as to what would be the best output that I would need to purchase.. I mean sure I would definitely appreciate product sugestions based on the data given but i really want to be sure to undsrstand how to in the future..

THX ahead if time!

All great input. I am looking into it and will check back later.

Any advice or feedback on this 104hp 7u performance techno rack?

https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_3073256.jpg I’ve given this quite a bit of thought and research but I’m still relatively new to modular and would be grateful for your expertise.

I’m making techno using Elektron hardware (deep/minimal/hypnotic) in a Hypnus records direction (warpy synths, lots of organic percussion and ‘tribal’ hand drums sounds, only a few harmonic elements, kick, HH, sub-bass). I’m now gradually adding more modular into my workflow and after playing with 62hp for a while am now step-by-step adding modules to 7u 104hp.

My plan is to use my Elektron Octatrack as final mixer / performance looper + my Elektron Tonwerk as FX processor/additional textures/some percussion.

Currently envisaging these modular elements/voices :
1. Kick (BIA)
2. Bass (Intellijel Atlantis)
3. Synth voice / harmonic leads (Instruo Neoni + WMD C4RBN)
4. Plucks / bells (Rings + MS-22)
4. HH (WMD Clutch)
5. Perc 1 (Sample drum )
6. Perc 2 (Sample drum )

• Other Pads / noises / textures / weird sounds (Tonwerk + Tonwerk sampling the modular)

I reckon most FX and Midi to CV sequencing can be done by the Elektron boxes, so haven’t included sequencing or FX in the modular.

In terms of routing, I am wondering whether to add a performance mixer with 2 x Sends (e.g.Boredbrain Xcelon). Not sure if Xcelon would be overkill for this setup but would be nice to have the two stereo outputs. For example, one stereo out going to the Octatrack (bass/kick/synth) and the other going to the Tonwerk (for drum bus). The OT has 4 inputs and TW has 2 inputs.

My aim is to develop this into a performance setup, with elements of live modular improvising, but pre-recording some elements into the Octatrack i.e. leaning heavily on Octatrack looping and sampling to pre-record elements.

I'm trying to work out of this all fits together and how to use the remaining space. The case is Befaco 104hp 7U. I'd really appreciate any thoughts:

• Anything look a bit off about the setup?
• Ideas for filling the remaining HP?
• Should I invest in a good performance mixer like Boredbrain Xcelon , WMD Performance /Channels, Nano Performance, ALA Bartender , Cosmic Pro, Erica synths drum mixer (this mixer could replace my existing Instruo Carn, or maybe go alongside it with one of them could handle Drum submix)

Thank ye!

An update for improved stereo processing.

Hi all,
I am a totally blind user, relying on a screen reader.
I'm building my first eurorack setup and would really love to create a modulargrid version so that I can share it out with others.
This is sort of usable, but it's a bit tough. I'm curious if there's a chance that I could help work on this to make it accessible (I'm fluent with python/php/javascript) or if people here are open to suggestions.
Here are my ideas just starting:

• add a role of h2 to all the module titles in search results; this will make it faster to view.
• When adding modules, it would be really helpful if there was a "row" combobox that was bounded from 1 to max rows, so if I click add and I'm on row 2, I can add it to row 2 (right now, I can only make one horribly long row)

hello, about that redesign, i am unable to reach the delete hover "btn-group-vertical module-edit-btns" on 1u rows, unless its the left-most module. i worked around via hotkeys but this is new since revamp. cheers
-- poepoe90

I have uploaded a change that willl hopefully fix the issue. Thanks for reporting!

Hello,
If one device is going much faster than the other, it could be an issue of their PPQ (pulses per quarter note) settings being different. It sounds like maybe the Beatstep has a higher PPQ than the Pam's, so the Beatstep it outputting the clocking pulses faster than the Pam's is expecting them at any given BPM. For example, if the Beatstep is outputting 24 PPQ and the Pam's is expecting 6 PPQ, the Pam's would have a BPM 4X faster than the Beastep. I hope that is helpful!
Edit: I should add that the PPQ settings should be adjustable within each device. They're generally not permanently fixed parameters on modern devices. So you would just have to adjust the settings so that the PPQ matches between the two devices.

Hey there. Contrats on the palette case.

The module is supposed to be 8 hp but perhaps front panel width varies a bit.

I'm going to measure mine and get back to you.

Thank you! It looks much better and seems to not move modules around (or out of the case) randomly. However, the "keep me logged in" feature doesn't work on my computer. It worked just fine in the older version.

Finally finished out my palette case, but it's not all fitting.

Measured everything and my Error Instruments Radiophonic Workshop module is just under 9 HP according to the calculator.

Any idea how to change the MG listing?

The precision adder lets you switch multiple oscillators/modules up or down octaves without spreading oscillators out of tune with each other.
Flipping a switch to raise or drop an octave is a convenience compared to re-tuning with a knob, and more accurate than most active multiples.
You can also use it to transpose a sequence to another key with a second sequenced cv.

The first channel lets you ease in with an attenuator, so you can add a bit of wobble or other modulation fun to multiple voices.
Or you can use it to goose several modules a little bit into tune, all at the same time.

I guess it's value depends a bit on if you are going after playing notes 'in tune' with something else or itself.
I don't mean that negatively.
I know a lot of synth musicians don't want anything to do with that, and that's ok.

We forget after doing so much in digital, that analog is so squishy in its tuning.
The A-185's "precision" keeps combining or switching 1v/octave cv-s dead on. Really handy all the time.

Can you tell me why you think this is important for this case and what does it? im to new in this stuff to understand this solution.. :)

what´s so special about it?
Does the slope-control affect much?

Im also searching for a new filter and am considering Faun.
I have a BASTL Ikarie at the moment.
How is it compared to that (unless the stereo) ?
Im interested in filters with special character, timbre and also for experimental uses.
Nekyia Root Locus seems also interesting to me.

Looks swish, and seems to be alot more responsive thus far!

Thanks for the great work :)

Same same, but different

We were dealing with 13-year-old JavaScript libraries - everything was creaking. Website relaunches often go wrong, but this one was necessary. With the old codebase, ModularGrid had become extremely difficult to maintain, making bug fixes and further development hard and, in some cases, impossible.

We’ve modernized the code and made some visual adjustments along the way. It’s no secret that ModularGrid is built on the Bootstrap framework, and we’ve continued to use it with the help of a designer who wishes to be called "the Ghost".

We fixed many bugs, but we’ve no doubt introduced some new ones. The good news is that they should now be much easier to fix.

There are also a few new features:
• the search now includes an exclude filter
• pedalboards can be converted from inches to centimeters

We tried to change everything without changing anything.

Here’s to the next 13 years!

Just got scammed by @CAROLARSEN.

Super friendly, said he sent the module, but haven't heard anything. Got flagged by modulargrid.

i second this! Reverb sucks. It may be time to create an alternative community marketplace if it doesnt already exist!

I have a seventeen 17u/104hp beautiful Needham walnut rack that I would like to sell for half what I paid. Are there any market places other than Reverb?!

I want to build a system with linear response oscillators. The beating and phasing changing over intervals is so much more pleasing than exponential response oscillalators. It doesn't have to be Eurorack, and DIY is a plus. Any suggestions?

This is the final form, all modules are en route to their final destination! So pumped!

Recorded a Digitone 2 track today...

Thank you!
Yes i think it turned out good enough for a first attempt.
With the white finish i am still a bit sceptical, now it has this retro console look somehow..
I actually wanted to try the white finish to see what kind of colors can overpaint it nicely.
Would love some black macro pattern on top of it or an entirely new paint job..
i will experiemt around a bit and probably build a simmilar 7u case as well.

hahaha I know what you mean! The best way to do it is stick something small (screwdriver) in the hole, angle the case until the nut slides against the screwdriver. put the case horizontal and then give gentle puchs against the case untill the slidingnut is alined with the hole.

your case looks realy nice!
