Hi guys with this rack I do pretty generic techno, but after a year of improv, I'd like to decide on a genre to focus on. I like the sound of DC11 as a very good artist, and I would like to pursue that path. The point is that its rack is completely different and also very expensive hahaha. How can I get closer to those sounds, perhaps integrating with some modules (I still have space available) or replacing some of them?

To be honest I dont know DC11 yet, so I dont know which kind of sound and modules you are looking for.

Can you give sound examples of DC11?
Where can we see his rack? - to figure out alternatives.

and if you type dc11 here on modulargrid there are some of his racks... but he has different racks for studio and live!

  1. At first you probably need a bigger a case and more fundamental utilities, like attenuverters, polarizer, envelopes, lfos .....
    Its all mentioned in recent posts.

My first impression, I might missunderstood it at first glance is:

  1. drums:
    come from the jomox drummaschine // you can just use samples from the web and put in your /Digitakt, elektron samples, computer or sampleplayer of choice

  2. synth hook

- seems to be the combination of a analog complex vco processed with a modulated filterbank.
you could try to emulate this with different cheaper vcos and filterbanks - but I guess the particular Verbos Filterbank has a special character. So it will be propably hard to come exactly near.
But there are a few cheaper filterbanks, you could combine a fixed filterbanks with a vca.
Like a Zlob VC F3DB, ADDAC 601 .....

  1. Sequencing
    Mimetis digitalis is nice, but Im not sure, if this enough to get organic sequences. Maybe better a sequencer with more settings per stage. Maybe it gets more unstable and floating or more wonky with crazy settings on pams to reset and shift the mimetic? I had good results with marbles + mimetic.

  2. DFAM is fun as hell, but you could add them later.

  3. I heard on a crappy PA, but the examples I heard seem to sound a bit cold and vintage vibed.
    I guess a analog mixer and some hardware for analog coloring and maybe sparse digital delay - could be useful

- maybe you can get also close to this with a software emulation from UAD or something like that.
