HI, very new to modular. I have already bought Maths and Plaits (Good deal so went for it).
I hve put this rack together going with what I've found out so far, looking for help and any suggestions. I'm not sure if I should get a 3u or 6u case yet.
https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_2218346.jpg
My initial thought is to get 3u just now and save to get something like the Make Noise case.

I have a Moog Matriarch which I want to incorporate with this rack and also Make Noise O-Coast and Strega. I have an OXI One sequencer.
I want to make lots of harmonies with lovely delays and some rhythm sections aand have lots of fun learning.

Thanks
Indy


Hi and welcome,
Better the link to the rack, so we can check the modules...
ModularGrid Rack
To complement the Turing Machine a quantizer would go well
This is cheap and two-channel

You talk about delays and effects, but I don't see any module of this type in your rack. I imagine that you intend to take the signal to the strega, but I would recommend at least some effects module with good modulation sources.

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/qu-bit-electronix-nautilus
Do you plan to use an external mixer for the different sources?
This has a good quality/price/characteristics ratio

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/tesseract-modular-tex-mix-4-stereo-channels
I see you have plenty of voices, but if you want to keep a second oscillator and if the DIY issue is not important, for a 3340-type VCO I would recommend something like

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/nano-modules-ona
To complement your modulation sources I would add an additional mixer/att, highly recommended
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/intellijel-triplatt
And think of some clock divider, sequential switch, utilities are very important.
And definitely, start with a 9U case, even if you don't fill it at first, you will end up needing space, you have modules that consume a lot of HP.
Do not be overwhelmed, start little by little and you will see what you need.
Greetings,

Hi ferranadsr,

ModularGrid Rack

mega thanks for your reply and feedback. Obviously as I'm new I am a bit overwhelmed and also lost with all the modules, but better to start with some idea and hopefully, with some good feedback like this, I'll have a better idea when I build.

I was originally looking at the Nano Modules CAIXA 104, recommended buy my local shop. I think it would be worth it for all the utilities etc but a lot of money to spend when I think I'll need at least a 6u quicker than I thought.

Love all the modules you linked, I'm now thinking if I go for a 6u then I can have my voices and filters etc on the bottom row and top row for effects and utilities. Is that what most people do?

I thought I had added Happy Nerding FX Audio, I was recommended this on Facebook as a good effect module. I have added it now.

Size is a big issue for me, I would love to try keep things at 6u maximum if possible, I'm hoping if I plan it right I will get close to where I need to be.

I have the Microcosm Delay pedal as well so would love to incorporate this into some of the voices but I would need a midi module to sync it, can you recommend one that would do the job, wou be iel if I could midi sync Matriarch as well..possible?

I'll go and watch some more videos on the ones you sent link for and work on a 6u case and see what I can get now.

All the best
Indy


Sorry, I meant to say start with a 6U case, not a 9U case.
Regarding the pedal, does it have a MIDI output? Normally to integrate pedals with Eurorack an ext module is used that amplifies/attenuates the outputs/returns.
For example
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/addac-system-addac200pi-
it has 2 channels (for two independent pedal lines).
Best regards,

Cool, yeah the 6u would be ideal I think.

Microcosm has in and out midi, I also have Strymon Night Sky and Volante. Both have midi in and out. I just seen this Strymon module on the Nano samples case youtube videos, would love to incorporate my guitar and pedals, never thought that was possible.

is that much different from the adda one you linked?


Hi,
I don't know Strymon module but addac has two independent lines, to make two independents pedal's chains.
Addac Isn't stereo,
I don't know if that feature is necessary for you.
Best regards,

I think I would like stereo :)
