Yes, it's not perfect and unstable for a serious project, but is very experimental and give you the opportunity to search new sounds. I recommended use by midi and not manual if you search a better touch. For manual use is not stable and give you bad surprises when you are in record mode.
With Disting EX’s multiswitch algo (6 switches, each with 6 inputs and 4 outputs), you can generate long, melodic sequences with just three voltages. By placing the switches in parallel, so their inputs and outputs overlap, and by adding a few feedback loops, the sequence can get quite complex and unpredictable.
Detailed patch notes in the video:
Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.
here is my band, deepgrave min og dog or dgmod making sounds having fun yesterday afternoon
to do the streaming i used linux (ubuntu studio) on a old dell precision laptop instead of my windows 11 machine
sorry it wont embed the youtube video in modulargrid because its from a live video, but it will play if you copy the link

Hi all does anyone know if Antumbra are still in bussiness
Tried emailing them with no reply.
I have been trying to source Knit pcbs, Ive checked stockists
i.e pusherman / modular addict with no joy.
I made a preview video for a new 10 track album to give a sense of the music and the space from which the music was made. I gigged with these songs for a while and recorded the stems over a year ago, so it is very meaningful to finally have them out in the world. The full album is out March 21st on Bandcamp, with a wider release the following week.
... No idea why the devs cant implement this simple thing into the code for the site.

Have some patience with the MG developers—it’s not as simple as it might seem.
The option to "Show/Hide modules that are in the current rack" could probably be implemented fairly quickly.
But a full Rack Diff Wizard is a bit more complex.
A proper concept would need to be worked out first:
- What should the input interface look like? Maybe two dropdowns where you select two racks to compare?
- Should it even allow selecting multiple racks at once?
- Do you want to see only the modules that are in all selected racks (the intersection)?
- Or only the ones that are not in the intersection?
- What should happen with the result?
- Should you be able to create a new rack from the comparison?
- Should there be a JSON export that you can manually import as a new rack?
- Or should all modules be tagged with "unracked" and the filter options have to be extended?
So many questions...
You could try drafting a solid concept for it. That would definitely increase the chances of the MG developers implementing it at some point!
Thanks and for the workaround - i tried it but it didnt work, most likely because my knowledge of java script use in the browser is non-existent. No idea why the devs cant implement this simple thing into the code for the site.
When rearranging my rack, I have noticed that when I swipe too far left (or right), the page "reloads" and reverts back to the arrangement from before I started the session. It has happened a couple times now. After it happens, I attempted to swipe both ways several times and the page continues to reload back to the same previous version. Any ideas?
O.k. now I can confirm the problem. It has nothing to do with Plaits, it looks like the last module you click on a search page triggers that not found error. Might be related with the Show Blank Panels checkbox. Will look into it.
Yeah, it looks like that is the problem. I can still replicated it when I am logged in, by clicking on Modules, search for "plaits", and scroll down to the bottom and click the Mutable Instruments Plaits module. Same problem when I am not logged in, and in another browser.
Constructive criticism is always appreciated. And thank you very much for the kind words, catwavez.
The original post felt a bit like straight up promotion of a competitor's product on this MG listing though, so it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Appologies for looking totally grumpy, but maybe you can see my viewpoint here?
Thanks again for anyone supporting what we're doing here. It's all for the love of music!

Np, ist allow fine how you react when’s your stuff what you made and put effort in. Totally normal reaction in my terms, that allow shows you are connected to your stuff and don't want the max outcome and don't care about your product.
And a little competion in my mind makes thinks in the end mutch better 4 all , cosue you can use it in differnt way
--> do better,
--> do it differently
--> improve the ground desgine

It's not a contest. Weston makes high quality modules. Seriously. In a sea of eurorack creators, every once in a while a module comes across my desk that impresses from the top to the bottom. I've taken a break from buying eurorack but a full WPA voice would be great!
I always appreciate a company that offers a full complete voice. VCAs. Envelopes. The works. Eurorack can be endless so a cohesive design is art.

i tottaly agree that weston is doing a good job over all.
but i felt this one here need some konstroktiv feedback.

Seems like the envelope follower is the only thing it is beyond SV1? But, SV1 has zero cross detect. So, tit-for-tat?
-- devinw
It has offset what controls the 2 signals and with teh VCA controlls you can to nice movement and the build in env is nice addion as well you can use ist simultaius with filter.
So i think the module presents more a Strero VCA Build and its all truehole build.
this one here is usefull but not in many ways. I wish they had add like a filter or something to handel the der drive more :D

is there a way (with the unicorn account) to see which modules you have used from my collection, but not in the active rack. I have a few racks and when i'm planning a new one i'd like to see which are currently used in my other racks
-- geoffcrowther
A few days ago, I needed the same thing.
A diff wizard for two or more racks would be really great.
Since there's currently no way to have a specific number of the same module in your own collection, you'd have to create a separate rack with your collection. That way, it would also work with multiple instances of the same module.
This Rack is an Behringer Go (6U / 140hp) + lended Moduls wich are in other Cases. ( i have framed the 6U/140hp space with blank panels for visibility)
Here i am fokussing on either a Project / new Modules / or just Modules i forgot how to use ..to refresh
Another good one from mki and Erica Synths, a bucket brigade delay, or how delays were done before inexpensive RAM became available.
Straightforward build, and as usual an excellent guide that describes fully how this unit works. Go download the guide even if you don’t build the kit for great information.
And it sounds really good. The demo section is longer than usual because I couldn’t stop playing with it! Build
Hey big doggy are you the Ansome, or are you just camping on the name?
I'm tryna find an effect (12hp) to pair with my BIA or Braids, you got any suggestions?

It happened again, Plaits is gone! But only when I am logged in, works very well when I am logged out. Mystery module page.

Same thing when I login in another browser that has never seen modulargrid before.

Based on your criteria for ambient, generative exploration, here are my suggestions:
3) Swap Dixie II for a Plaits or clone. For good reason it's the most popular module. The Orange String Machine, Green Chords, and Red Rings modes are instant moods and worth the price of admission alone.
4) Swap Quart for a Zadar. Skip the simple AR. Setup Zadar presets for chaining, shapeshifting, jagged, bitcrushed, choatic envelopes. Audio rate to 30 minute long shapes. You'll never cross the same path twice.
5) Swap Dual Dagger for Katowice. Katowice can HP/BP/LP but is far more surgical and you have outputs for all bands for multi-band processing. Ambient is a far more additive (layered) than a subtractive genre. Setting filter bands to separately modulate in a soothing wave pattern is far more pleasing than just sweeping off the top layers. Bypass the filters and use it to send just the high band to reverb fx etc.
6) Swap Intellijel Quad for a Tangle Quartet. Really, either/or. But to conserve space and get an additional mix breakout path, my preference is Tangle.
7) Reduce FX Aid XL to 4HP Version. Again, mostly to conserve space. I found 1 assignable CV and D/W was enough. Tangle Quartet and FX 4hp gives you enough room for another FX Aid. (Quad VCA + FX Aid XL or Tangle + FX Aid + FX Aid)
10) Swap 3X MIA for a Samara II. 8 in mixer but does so much more. Polarize, Clamp, Scan, Min/Max, Sample and Hold.
I'd skip the buffered mults unless you plan on getting more oscillators (you really only need it to prevent pitch drifting, which of course is an ambient aesthetic in itself). Get mults that connect cables directly: https://www.qubitelectronix.com/shop/p/cable-splitter
And I'd swap the panels for the unified black modules vibe.
Like this (Top Shelf) —
The bottom shelf are other modules that are worth considering:
Morpheus Filter: PROS: Great for exploring non-typical filter shapes. There's a lifetime of exploration in here. CONS: There are seriously a lot of shapes; lots of guesswork and unknowns. Not for the impatient. Expensive but built like a tank—really high quality.
Blukac Endless Processor: PROS: Great for stacking timbres. You can make huge timbres quickly. I have made sounds that have 'mesmerized me' as in I just stop and let it drone for fifteen minutes in awe. CONS: It does one thing really well, but only one thing.
Vhikk X: PROS: Enormous sounding tone organ. You're thrown into the abyss in the first minute. Even more modes are being added. It has inputs for sending in outside sources to the fx. CONS: Unconventional naming system means you're almost always exploring/searching for something in the dark and the mood is most always that, deep and dark. Currently, still a work in progress.
Arbhar: PROS: Beautiful sounding granular engine. Has a microphone input. Pairs well with Morphagene. CONS: Button combos, of course. Might have a system noise issue in your case.
Data Bender: PROS: Good variety of usable artifacts. Really enjoyable and unpredicate. The surface layer will get you started immediately and the deeper layers will get you exploring particulars. CONS: Not everyone likes bitcrush, jitters, and skips.
Aurora: PROS: Beautiful cavernous tonal reverb well-suited for crystalline sounding ambience. There are also alt fimwares. CONS: Doesn't take every source well. That spectral sound has that warbly tonal quality I can't stand.
Don't listen to anyone that wants you to start small. No way! Buy as much cool sounding stuff as possible and enjoy it! Support the creative module makers so they'll continue making creative modules. Play on!
As mentioned in the above description, Erfurt can be used as digital oscillator who's output can be processed by the digital-to-analog converter on Xaoc's Drezno, a companion module in their Leibnitz system. If you're curious about just how that can sound, this fully produced works utilizes only the Erfurt-Drezno combo as a sole sound source. Further notes, and links to helpful videos are in the description.
