Hi everyone,

I’ve put together my first Eurorack setup on ModularGrid and would really appreciate your feedback before I start purchasing modules. I'm especially interested in whether the system feels functionally balanced and if you have any suggestions for improvements or alternatives – particularly with regard to flexibility and future expansion.

Use Case:

  • I'm aiming for a compact system focused on drone, ambient, and experimental sound design.

  • Pamela’s Pro Workout serves as the central clock/modulation hub, and I’d like the option to sync to an external clock (e.g. DAW or hardware).

  • I want the ability to mix voices individually and together, and send a stereo output to an external analog mixer.

  • The system should work both standalone and integrated into a hybrid setup with DAW or external gear.

Current module list:

  • Forge TME Vhikk X – Wavetable Drone Voice

  • Jolin TABØR – Percussive/Stochastic Drum Voice

  • Befaco STMix (DIY Kit) – 4-channel stereo mixer

  • Erica Synths Pico DSP – Compact multi-effect unit

  • Mørk Modules Pamela’s Pro Workout (Black Panel) – Clock & Modulation

  • Befaco Oneiroi – Ambient voice with internal mixer, VCA, FX

  • Erica Synths Black 1HP Blank

My questions:

  • Do you think this setup covers the basics well for my use case?

  • Are there any obvious gaps (e.g. utilities, modulation sources, VCAs, mixer channels)?

  • Would you replace or add any modules to improve sound design flexibility, modulation depth, or performance usability?

Any thoughts or insights – long or short – are more than welcome.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,
Helmut
