Fixed a small bug that prevented new manufacturers from posting news.
In the process accidently deployed a new feature were users can thumbs up forum posts.

Thumbs Up button in the Forum

A simple Thumbs Up function that lets you leave a thumbs up on a forum post.
Second click on the Thumbs Up button removes the Thumbs Up.
Narcists can thumbs up their own posts.

What's so hard with giving a seller or buyer a thumbs up?

When I sell something, I often agree to a proposal, take the time to wrap it up really well, and keep the buyer up to speed untill it arrives at the buyers house. I always like to verify if it arrived and in what condition. In the past one would give a thumbs up, but nowadays after even asking to consider a thumbs up, sellers seemingly just can't be bothered. I personally find this annoying to the point of acting in the same way.

Mind you, it's not solely MG, I have the same issue with Reverb and other online marketplaces with possibilities for reviews. Which is a shame really as it sort of filters who is trustworthy and who isn't, both sellers and buyers, so you're basically helping out the community in a way.

So please consider those thumbs.

Cool love it up there so peaceful. I just had a jam with some local folks where we jammed all day on modular and drank beer. A good time. Do you know about the Monday modular Zoom meetups on Modwiggler? PM me if you want to know more. Met cool synth friends there. My goal this year is get workflow and recording where I want it to be and master my gear.

Hey, I love mountains too. Sounds like a fun jam session with modular and beer. The mountains remind me of when we were happy with my family. When I was in high school, we lived in Sandpoint, Idaho, but then we moved when my parents divorced, and I lost contact with my father. It became my childhood trauma. I read some research papers here https://studydriver.com/childhood-trauma-essay/, and I liked the advice to get into music. Now modular synths help me deal with sadness and nostalgia. I hope you get your workflow and recording up and running soon. Good luck in achieving your goals through music.

I have a feature request. I am 100% new to modular and questions arise. Questions I hope the forum could answer. But I cannot open a new thread because I am a new user. But I cannot contribute anything usefull to other threats because I know nothing. Anything I could write would be "on nice" or "I wouldnt do it that way..but I dont know"
So my request is, new users should be able to open new threads, otherwise a new guy like me will never be able to use this forum..

Hello! Super music :)

EDITED Jul 4th 2023, 17:23

With recent SuperBooth and the ever refreshing homempage of Thonk, I'm just not seeing anything creatively new or inspring being released in eurorack format.
Past creative modular players are now just using YouTube to sell the next module they are being paied to sell...
New setups are just techno or pinged etheral ambience, and no one is really thinking outside the box...
A thread to discuss if anyone else has picked up these vibes, or it's just me falling out of love with modular (I hope it's just a phase!)

Simple question not answered by trawling google.

Does anyone know of a replacement silver front panel for a Rings clone?

I'm a private person and have become more so seeing that generally more and more personal information is being stored for what not.

Having said that, I would suggest a rack should be set to 'private' by default, or that you change that if you prefer it to be public. Good idea?

Nice work :)

Thanks for that :-)

To do
* move 2hp hat next to addac
*

To do
* move voltera to the left of Metron so easy access to modulate lxr
* fix flow top left of case so it's: exander > voice > EG > VCA > Addac (left to right or right to left)
* Add Ochd or Doepfer Quad LFO
* Add sidechain support (2nd compressor with sub mixer?)

A general definition may also suffice.

An option to organize modules in racks by manufacturer.

Zeta_fxn - how do you define 'organic noise'? Do you have any examples online?

Another option would be to get rid of the Function / Secondary Function dropdowns and add a list of all functions with a +/- to include or exclude each.

-- general_disorder

Drop downs like the filtering functions in Excel and similar spreadsheet programs. Could be done.

I would like to easily filter out blank panels.

or is there another context where excluding blank panels makes sense?
-- modular01

Could be done that way, yes. Or more extensive filtering preferences defined elsewhere. :-) Implementation wise this would be equivalent to trusting the tagging data of modules, not including anything tagged as a blank panel.

Taking myself as an example, I am not interested in 1u modules at all. To filter out those by default I have to save a link with that filtering setting already set (full size only).

Posted this a year ago with no responses. In the meantime I've added a few devices to the pedal view but I still feel Desktop should be its own category. I use 4ms Pods as placeholders for my modular, but I see they have been recently unlisted?? Still hoping to be able to see my setup, all in one, here one day .

I'd like a desktop layout where you could blend a screenshot of your modular rack, or many, along with any standalone equipment like synths and drum machines or guitar pedals and effect units. The pedals feature kinda does it already but it would need the addition of a lot more desktop devices and of course the screenshot as a device idea. This would make Pod layouts possible where you could arrange several separate small racks in a single space.

Thanks foe the feedback. Luckily I live in Japan so I should be able to drop by beforehand and check it there. I did a quick test in the lab and everything powered up, but I'm moreso worried about the modules actung strange like you mentioned.

First off, congrats on a gig in Japan!
As for two prong, it will give you floating ground. Some modules won't work correctly or not at all, with with a two prong power connector. You should be able to pre-flight check that with a two-pronged PSU. I use a two prong Toshiba notebook brick with a Tiptop uZEUS and Make Noise René doing all kind of weird things got me hopping mad.

Soery if this is a stupid and/or annoying question. I am supposed to perform in Japan next month and the venue only has 2-prong power available (no extra grounding screws on the outlets). However, my modular rig runs on 3-prong power supplies (2 Arturia Rackbrute 6U's and one custom case powered by a 2HP lunchbox power supply, also 3-prong). Any ideas on wherher or not this will even work? I am not fluent enough on this matter and have had a difficult time finding any concrete info on it. It's a bit confusing to me because my smaller module is a 4ms 48x and shipped with a 2-prong power cable.

Hopefully I can drop by the venue and check the rig beforehand, but I'm hoping somebody can assist with any info.

I had good results using a triangle wave for the clock signal as well. Because it doesn't have the sharp edge, it's inaudible. As a consequence, you can continue using the dry/wet mix of the FX Aid and you don't need to mix dry back in afterwards.

it's the same for a lot of modules... prices quoted are only a rough guide... and don't yend to get updated very often if at all

iirc the prices are also only entered in 1 currency in this example USD and then coverted to EUR, not entered explicitly for a particular currency (& prices often differ between resellers anyway) & so they do not include cost of distribution and sales taxes (VAT/TVA?BTW), to name 2 things that may impact actual sale prices...

Simply a great and handy mixer. I have three Hyrlo's daisy chained (bus connectors on pcb) serving as my final audio mixer with 9 stereo channels. The summed output goes to my Befaco Out for easy performance setup where I want just a stereo line out. In studio setup I have each Hyrlo output patched, this breaks the daisy chaining so that I have 3 seperate 3 stereo channel mixers (or 2x 3-channels stereo + 1 or 2x 3-channels mono) that go directly into my audio interface for multitrack recording. Great solution, great sound, great quality.

Don't forget the Mystic Circuits IDUM! Might come in handy :)

An oscillator in the style of the VCOs in the TB-303,
Pretty good build, lots of parts. Did have some issues getting the board mating pin headers to fit well, this has been updated in later kits. You’ll have to refer to the bill of materials instead of the build guide for a few component positions.
But overall good.
And it sounds very good, a somewhat long demo section. Best thing is that you get all 4 waves on their own output jacks all the time, interesting possibilities there!
Not a first or second kit, but not too bad.

This was the solution^

Thank you for the feedback!
I'll have to think about the concept more.
Some clarifications below:

voice leading requires at least one sequencer channel per voice - unless you only want to be able to play in unison or in fixed intervals

you have a quad quantizer, but no melodic sequencer to feed it - so how are you intending to sequence the voices in your rack? if the answer is I don't know, but I'd like to control the notes - then get a sequencer that's big enough to control those voices - something like a erica black sequencer, or the new hermod+, both of which include quantisers, as do almost all sequencers in the "battleship sequencer" category

My idea was to use the Harlequin as a sequencer and modulate, offset, invert etc. multiples of it before quantization.
Then trigger rhythms for the melodies and drums via "trigger action" (pam's, binary akkumulator & burst).
I was hoping to use triggers to modulate the Harlequin sequences somewhat with sample & hold, slew limiter stuff.

you have 4 vcos and a sampler... but only a single vcf... so immediately you are out of polyphonic territory and into paraphonic... for polyphony, as mentioned above, you need a vcf per voice - on top of this there is not enough mixing to reduce the 4 channels of vcos to a stereo signal before sending to the vcf... you may be envisioning the 2 shakmat vcos and the waveshaper as a single complex oscillator?

Ok. I see it; lacking filter and mixing capacity. The complex oscillator was indeed envisioned as an patching option.
I was hoping to use the sampler and disting to stretch to kinda-sorta 4 voices for ... an patching option.

work out how many voices you really want...

Not less than 2.

-- JimHowell1970

Cheers

-- krmk

in that case I'd look at reducing the number of voices to 2 and increasing the amount of utility modules - especially mixers /cascding vcas (happy nerding might be a good option as they are often smallish - 6hp - 3MIA, 3VCA etc) to facilitate the generation - personally I like the ability to deliberately input sequences as well as 'randomly' generate them... so I just use a marbles for 'random' - if I had one I'd use the harlequin's context for making changes to modulation and routing etc - to differentiate sections of music

I would have to politely disagree here as far as size of case goes cause you can achieve this sound with a relatively small setup
-- obscuremachines

disagreement is good!!!

"this is probably unrealistic... you may be able to achieve a small subset of what he does, but generally people have large cases for a reason... one of which is being able to run multiple voices and effects chains at once - which you won't really be able to do in a small case"

I would have to politely disagree here as far as size of case goes cause you can achieve this sound with a relatively small setup

My set up rn is a deluge, minibrute 2s, rackbrute6u and an o coast I want an all around, performance set up but also a friend that does its own thing. So what do ya think are these good accompaniments ? I want this to be my dream instrument something truly versatile for bass ,noise ect ect also I'm pushing the power a little idk if it can handle it tho I couldn't delete the picture, and the rack different now.

Oh interesting, thank you, I will try that.
