If you're close enough to Bristol, it's well worth taking a trip to Elevator Sounds and having play with the filters in their rack

TODA ESTA INFO HA PODIDO CAMBIAR DESPUÉS: PARA VER EL SET ORIGINAL QUE LLEVÉ A "FERIA METALURGICA" MEJOR MIRAR EL DOC DE WORD "tareas roland sh + circuit + case" ahí está bien explicado el set

-ROLAND SH-01A:
está debajo de la case, abajo a la derecha, bajo la un poco de la dfam
-VOCAL MICRO:--> pico input (bajo la case) --> fx aid --> ...
-PICO MIX:
mezcla basimilus y plonk--> filtro --> mixer doepfer
-CIRCUIT: tendría este paneo:
-Bajo: a la izq
-Resto: en el centro.
Así saldría el bajo limpio sin pasar a polivoks
El resto (bombo y percs) irían por el canal derecho, hasta pico mix --> pico input --> filtro
Si en un momento dado quiero filtrar las baterías, subo el nivel de pico mix, y pasarán tambien por polivoks
-PICO INPUT:
Para amplificar las entradas por separado:
Micro voz --> pico input --> fx aid --> out
Doepfer B --> filtro
-PICO DSP:
es el fx de doepfer mixer
-DOEPFER MIXER:
-Hat
-Plonk + Basimilus
-Radio
-Dfam

-BLACK MIDI (bajo la case):
recibe midi de circuit, para bombo y para basimilus
-BOMBO:
recibe trig de black midi. Sale para un atenuador --> circuit, para volumen y fx
-MALEKKO:
-lfo? lfo para hat?
-radio (cambia su start)
-lfo para dfam ? para basimilus?
-plonk, cambia su sonido
-PICO TRIG:
-1: trig plonk
-2: trig plonk secundario
-3: trig radio (a redondas, en el 2 del compas)
-4: corcheas para malekko
-LADIK SEQ: para dfam
-HAT: es trigado desde circuit (por audio cv) --> doepfer A
-BF22: tenemos 2 versiones:
1) VERSION FILTRO PARA LABERINTTTO:
-En un filtro: plonk
-En el otro filtro: lo que sale de Doepfer mixer B (SH, voz)
2) VERSION FILTRO PARA TEKNO:
-En un filtro: plonk + basimilus (premezclados en pico mix)
-En el otro filtro: bombo (bombo--> filtro--> atenuador --> circuit, etc...)

...I'm using a Blokas MidiHub to route clocks etc to pedal...
...Really powerful little box!...
-- geusensdriesmusic

Yeah - this box seems to be really powerful! But maybe a bit overhead for this use case.
If you are already on the MIDI side of the task a cheaper (and passive) solution for filtering MIDI messages would be the Miditech Midi Thru 4.
I have 2 of those in my non-eurorack-setup and never experienced any problems with it.

EDITED Jan 16th 2023, 10:06

As far as filters go, I assume you want some that don't take up a lot of space or use a lot of current. Some that I have and like that meet those requirements would be:

1) Bastl Cinnamon
2) Karltron Steiner Parker
3) Mutable Ripples V2
4) TipTop Forbidden Planet
5) Nano Font
6) Doepfer Wasp
-- adaris

Thanks, I'll take a look. I was going to go with a simple Pittsburgh Modular mixer. I'll have a look through you suggestions.

I had to leave 2 HP open to run the cables in/out.
-- adaris

that's what drills are for...

-- JimHowell1970

So put the tank outside the case and drill a hole into the back of the case, right?

Yeah I have a Befaco Spring Reverb which I like, it's hooked up to a large tank which I have mounted underneath the table where a lot of my eurorack gear sits. But like the A-199 the RCA connectors are only in back, so I had to leave 2 HP open to run the cables in/out. So keep that in mind. But anyway, I would consider getting the Befaco instead of the A-199, it gives you CV control over both inputs as well as the mix in the same amount of space, and also uses less current from the +12V rail, which in your case is probably a good thing. And I can tell you from experience that the sliders on the Befaco are very "playable". I've had a few spring reverbs and it is the only one I've kept.
-- adaris

Cool, looks good. I'll save for one. The Doepfer is a little noisy so I'm running it through a low pass filter on my studio mixer for now. Not ideal but getting some nice sounds out of the subharmonicon

Always a friendly contact and happy deals with @Jihel
Enjoy the module :)

Don't know if you're using PNW, but the expander has midi clock out. I'm using a Blokas MidiHub to route clocks etc to pedals, drumboxes, sometimes a DAW... You can filter out anything you don't need your pedals to receive, merge incoming midi messages, use clock dividers, manage midi channels etc. Really powerful little box!

Hi friends,
I'm looking for a eurorack module (or any simple thing) that would allow me to send through midi a CV master clock (from my euroracks modules) to some guitar pedals (Meris, Hologram etc) to sync. In other words, I don't need to send CC messages – only the start, stop and tempo info of a master clock.
Does that exist ? I seem to see all the modules allowing a complete transfer of CC messages, but I have not found anything that can just produce a master clock from CV to midi (TRS or DIN). Thanks for your help!

Great advice- having never used 2hp modules I definitely wouldn’t have known that. I’ve updated the design with a blank panel and gone with a dual vca. Thank you both!

I agree with Jim, I have a bunch of 2hp modules and to be usable you need at least 1hp space between them, I also find that some 2hp modules can get quite warm so I leave the 1hp gaps open for ventilation.

I got a thumbdown from an user only because I put a mangrove osc with a price too high, so I have a thumb down on my rating even if I never had a transaction with this user. This is unfair. How can I take this bad rating away?

Thanks for the explanation. Seems i missunderstood the concept a bit. It will probably make more sense when i actually get the unit, on monday :D

-- adaris

I think you'll have difficulty using the 2hp modules - too close together

do you need 4 vcas or will a single dual do? you might be able to get away with it by replacing the vca next to the adsr with a blank panel

I bought the EX for the same reason and could not be happier. It took me a minute to figure things out, but you want to be looking at the manual for the Disting mk4. There are several quantizers available. I believe H3 is the one I stuck with before getting addicted to the Chord Engine. Keep in mind, the EX allows you to run two mk4 algorithms at the same time or one of the EX specific “single” algorithms. Hope this helps.

Comes with standard shitty rcas. Shielded canela would be a good call. As it is you can filter out the hiss with a filter have the tank out of the box but it isn't ideal.

Legend. Thanks for persevering.

Using the smallest A-100 at 48HP. Teeny mate, teeny.

Just ordered one of these to replace my good old uO_c. Have not got the module yet, but can't really find any algorithm that works, or almost works like the Quantermain in uO_c. Basically i want to feed some what generative, quantized pitch cv into to an OSC 1v/oct in. I'm staring to think that i have made a mistake here, but who knows. Of course this is not the only reason why i bought it, but one major.

This is a perfect description of what i want it to do: https://modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3817125#p3817125

I cant find anything about it in the manual tho.

EDITED Jan 14th 2023, 00:00

So what case/power are you planning on using now? That's going to inform the answers to your other questions. Your rack looks about 50 HP wide, even if you're able to stuff the reverb tank that comes with the A-199 in there, you may find you have problems with noise/hum. I used to have a Metasonix Spring Reverb inside of a Doepfer LC3 84 HP case with a medium tank inside the case, but it was a very tight fit, and I made sure to use quality shielded RCA cables, not sure what comes with the A-199.

EDITED Jan 13th 2023, 23:43

.. and I've given up on the kick idea for the moment in this rack. Ideally want one that works has compression like the Kickain Knobular but that is £££ and probably need thr how for utilities.

mostly eurorack with some Sub37, Nord Drum2, OP1

thank you for watching and happy new year to you all

Thanks for the feedback. Such a good community. Lots of people willing to look at people who know nothing and give advice which is kind.

Against all advice and wisdom I've seen on the site I'm pressing ahead. Sold my eventide space for more than I picked it up. Favourite effects were hall and spring. Online the DIY nature of the spring. Reminds me of the apex twin interviews where he mentions making his own reverbs. I want separate effects for my three synths.

I have had a look around at the modules you suggested and ignored your advice. The FX Aid is very cool and I can see the appeal. The Z DSP too. Some good vids of them. They would be a good replacent, similar to the eventide. I know of want to get away from the pre made algorithms and get simple.

I started working my way through the reverb modules on modulargrid.

I have gone for a Spring reverb as that was one effect on the space I really liked and used a lot. The Doepfer is cheap and cheerful. Only mono out though. I know the tank would be best mounted outside the case.

Gone for a 2HP verb. Simple. Does what I need. Also mono out which is a pain. Also the small size is a pain. But it's a quality sound and cheap to get going.

Gone for a monsoon as it has feedback and reverb and then a huge amount of other capabilities that I'm excited to be able to explore. It's stereo too. Cool. This will be fun for the moogs but also for modulating acid.

So, I still need a delay. Having looked so go alongside the spring or the verb. I'd like an alaogue if possible to add to the Doepfer spring and was looking at the Doepfer BBD but obviously can't fit it as well as the two required filters in this rack. It's massive. Need the delay to be stereo.

I need a mixer module. I think. At the moment the three synths each go into the three fx modules would need to go into my existing mixer. Not neat.

I know a bigger case would be good. I know guitar pedals would make more sense in a lot of ways. If anyone is arsed to answer my filter and mixer module queries, awesome thanks.

Perfect for a first diy build. Awesome module !!!

We have an eye for vote manipulation and we delete fake votings regularly. This module was downvoted by a normal user. Every voting system has this problem and I am not sure how to improve it. At the end take the ratings with a grain of salt but I still think in most occasions they give you a good idea. Especially if the modules are voted in larger numbers.

So I was missing something ! Thanks a lot, the Disting Mk4 seems to be for me... (diving into Arduino would be super great.. but I've no time in my life for that..)
-- patchable

Always convenient to have a Disting laying around whenever you need (x)

Fold 6 from Joranalogue is a great option and relatively cheap as well.
Both the core triangle and fundamental outputs on the G3 sound awesome sent thru it.
Filter8 is another obvious one as a filter and modulation source when in LFO mode.

Orbit3 is another fun modulation source.

Both orbit and filter 8 can also act as oscillators

This is a design for a Tiptop Audio Happy Ending rack kit that will sit atop a Behringer 2600 in a 19" rack frame. I got the kit for Xmas and have been wanting to expand some of the basics of the 2600 with some sequencing and a couple VCAs. I'm aware that the B960 does not have enough power to trigger the 2600 without being run through the 2600's built-in preamp, which is fine with me, I'm just hoping not to run into too many other power issues.

Mainly I'm looking to increase modulation options with the extra VCAs and the extra envelope, have an independent option for two voices by adding a second filter, and some good old fashioned 70's sequencing with the b960 and 962. Outside of the case I'll also have the Korg SQ-1.

Some videos of my tiny playground here:

Monodux

1. Rack 1
11. Rack 11
2. Rack 2

now:

i have a mantis case for sale if interested

So I was missing something ! Thanks a lot, the Disting Mk4 seems to be for me... (diving into Arduino would be super great.. but I've no time in my life for that..)

Yeah, I think it'll work nicely. Like Pusha said, you'll need to try out differently shaped envelopes (exp/lin/log) to see what works best.

Thanks for helping, @geusensdriesmusic. Yeah, after watching the few available videos about the module, I think it can do what I need.
-- klngvrhltnss

in my case could be works in progress - or abandoned ones I need to clean up - or chopped up ones to separate power supplies - loads and loads of reasons - often private!! - or maybe just not for public consumption!!!

They are linear on Optomix.

Thanks, @pusha. Good to know!
Does anyone know, if the MN Optomix's response is linear or logarithmic? I can't find any information on that.

Sometimes a click on a username to see his/her modules and racks. then i find dozens of racks all set to private.
I am curious - what is YOUR reason to set everything to private?

you'll need a better power supply than the uZeus - max -ve rail is 500mA - and you're over it, let alone leaving any headroom...

I'd go for a bigger case - something like a mantis - and have some space left over for the inevitable expansion* - it'll also mean you have plenty of headroom on both rails! - they come in black these days I believe and have way better power supplies than the uZeus!!!

or if you're set on a single row and it's DIY then the befaco excalibus is a decent power supply and doesn't take up valuable space (no rack wart!) - can't say I'd be happy with the layout like that - external input in the middle of a row etc

I don't have a lubadh, or any other instruo modules for that matter, but I'm sure there are plenty of others with multiples of modules that are in the same price range... and lots of people with multiples of other musical instruments that cost way more (guitarists - multiple guitars and amps, both often more expensive than any module, for example) - so I really don't think it's unrealistic to have multiple lubadhs - or really any more excessive than any modular synth... after all it's only money... and yours is yours to do with as you please

• filters, effects, a proper mixer etc!!!!

If you ever have considered to dive into the world of micro controllers (Arduino) this would be a great real world use case for a tiny project.
In case you're interested i can send you a few links to my projects where reading cv clock/reset and sending midi clock already exists.
Of course its a lot harder than buying a finished device - but you will learn a lot and maybe inspires you to create other unique stuff with midi + cv signals.

I wish I could filter/sort by whether a module is in the rack I am currently viewing. This would mostly be useful with the "My Modules" tab while editing a rack. When I am rethinking a rack layout, I'd like to quickly pull up my modules that are currently not in the rack, so I can see what I might want to swap in and out.

Not sure how generally useful this feature would be, but as someone with more modules than HP and a frequent rack rearranger, I would use this feature pretty often.

Hi there, first time actually posting here.

I’m in the starting phase of curating samples to fill in my Lubadh after I downloaded the v.2 update.

When looking at my racks this should come as no surprise that I tend to stick to a few different brands.

Sometimes I do like to think about theoretical specific purpose cases.
This idea came to me when I Watched the instruo v2 firmware update video and I noticed that when demoing melontron mode that Jason demoed it in polyphonic mono. A couple of days passes while I’m working night shifts and rewatch the video that in theory it should be very possible, by using only instruo modules to make the same patch in stereo, utilising both decks on a Lubadh in one shot mode.

The full build from Left to right is as follows;
1(f), Harmonaig, Tain,Tanh[3], Lubadh + expander, usb expander, 2(f), second Lubadh + expander, carn, cuir and lastly a power module, preferably an instruo one. With 2 x 2hp instruo blanks just to complete the look.
Specs:
Hp: 104
Number of modules: MG says 16, I don’t count the expanders as modules, so 11.
Power consumption: 960 mA +12v. | 540 mA -12v| 0 mA 5v.
Depth: 42mm.

Harmonaig would be altering which reel it will be triggering with the help of Tain and duplicating the cv out of harmonaig you would have the reels alternating from left to right when playing the keyboard. Having an 1 f to manually modulate the harmonaig, seeing as Jason did it by hand in the demo video.

First Lubadh:
This is the main brain and sound source. Primarily
Set as mode (A) melontron mode for obvious reasons. Mode(B) would be set to sequencingpoly, I haven’t had the time to try this out yet, but it seems to fit this builds purpose.

The Larachd serves 3 purposes in this patch. First purpose is to be used as a sampler for the first Lubadh, second would be as a microphone, combining it with a portable recorder with a pop filter would let people blessed with confidence and talent enough to sing. Put on an extra performance when recording onto the second Lubadh. Adding the Tahn[3] to compliment the Larachd.

The second Lubadh; I know, a bit unrealistic to own two lubadhs unless you are Jason himself. this Lubadh is simply going to work as a dual record deck, using preset (a) tape looper and (b) broken tape. Knowing that the Mellotron was made in 1963, I cannot imagine mr Mc.Cartneys mellotron actually sounding as the day it was made, since tape decays over time the presets are necessary to complete this builds aesthetic sound. Furthermore; Having a 2f fader to adjust the tape modulation per channel seemed like the perfect fit.

last two modules is a carn and a cuir, for audio mixing and audio output.
I haven’t tried out the Carn, so I’m not sure if it’s a good fit for the rack, but a mixer on paper is worth gold. Using it simply to add as a mixer for larachd could be the clue.

-N.

It's an active (powered) LPG, not passive like the Takaab, so yes it works well responding to CV. However bear in mind that its response is logarithmic, so can be a little trickier to get the shapes you want unless you're using an envelope that has a good level of dynamic control.

Thanks but it's overkill ! Looking for simplicity..

It might be overkill, but the Westlicht Performer does that. I use it all the time to sync my modular to my Boss RC-5 Loop Station.

I also own a Viol Ruina. I hated it for quite some time, because it behaves strangely, most often. I had the same problems you described. And yes, the filter out is pretty low volume. You basically need the Mangle to push the level up. I had the module laying around unused for months, before I gave it another chance. And then somehow it clicked for me. Now, it's an integral part of my core setup. I mostly do parallel processing with it, as I can control the amount of crazyness it brings with it, that way. I know how to push it, to get what I want from it. But I'm sure, there's even more, as it is such a beast, in a positive way.
