Hello, I try to assemble in a 104HP rack a techno/ambient techno live setup that I can carry, plug and play/jam on the console of different venues.
I'm living in Saigon where eurorack modules are not available apart behringer ... I take the opportunity to travel to Europe to sart getting these new modules.
Thank you for your help and advices, the idea was to get a little drum kit, 2 synth voices, insert effects that I can use with the matrix mixer to build up and modulate sounds during the performance, using the pamela and random8 for the sequences and modulations (or arturia keystep pro for the sequences ...) and a compressor at the end to glue everything nicely.

Impressive how much you're able to get into 104hp! I don't own any of the modules myself (except Pams), but in terms of their functionality it should deliver what you want.

My only thought is that I would've liked a bigger knob for the filter; I'm thinking of a DJ-like filter where clockwise is high pass and anti-clockwise is low pass - it's a cheap and effective way of creating interesting transitions in your music.

That said, maybe that doesn't fit your style. Should be a interesting setup nevertheless (I think the Matrix mixer and the Mimeophon could be quite good) ^_^


Thanks for the review and the sugestion for the filter, djing myself I often use (especially with ambient) the filter for transition even if I try to not over use it. Quite happy already to have placed a tiny filter in insert effect
Now the question is what should I purchase first haha ... it's so expensive


Generally you want to spread out your buys, and start from a corner with the essentials. This way you can alter your plans as you learn more about your gear.

What you start with depends on what you already have, and the bare minimum to get something going. That probably means you need to start with power and one or more voice.

Do you have a sequencer available? If not, the Pam's probably a must. (You probably want the Pam anyway though, it's very useful.)

What other sources of sounds do you have? Can it be combined with eurorack? (Some synths provide CV points.) Maybe you could start with one Drum2 and either the A-111-6 or the Beehive, depending on which you like best, but it really depends on what you already have.

Do you have a mixer, and does it handle the level of audio coming from eurorack (it's high compared to most other synths)?

You probably want an effect module too, and the FX Aid should go a long way there. It's not essential, but gives you lot more options.

Hope this gives you some ideas ^_^


Another important thing to keep in mind is that your case need to support the depth of the modules. E.g. the Behringer Go case is very shallow, so it won't fit deep modules (I think it's about 30-35mm deep).
