cv2 is definitely controlled by velocity and works

cv3 doesn't respond to channel aftertouch

any tips on how to use cv3?

it's not the easiest module to use in a way, i preferred my old roland mpu 101

thanks

Just finished my 6 NLC FM-OP's, so here's my first patch using all 6 voices.
Four FM-OP's are routed through the Natural Gates, the remaining two are patched straight into Beads.

Enjoy!

and here we are, back at it, and this one sounds nice ;)

I agree with Ferranadsr, start with the Oneroi and a modulation source: WMD javelin, or a MN maths work great.

Hi Helmut,
In my opinion, Oneroi and Forge are too much for the size of the setup.
But considering that you'll need a lot more modulation than Pamela provides, I wouldn't hesitate to start with Oneroi and add, for example, a Marbles (Random CV) or a Zadar (4xenvelope generator).
Although I have one, and given its size, it's a good module, I don't think you'll notice the Pico DSP too much with the Oneroi.
My advice, if you haven't bought anything yet, is to get the Oneroi first and then see what you need. Oneroi is a huge instrument on its own.
Best regards,
ferran

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

thanks to everyone for the advice, really!

I'm trying to figure out how to spend relatively little and learn how to use it for real. I would buy the sequencer to understand how it works, space is not a problem because I design the case and print in 3D

GOATed module. Buy one while you have the chance

I would dissuade you from using the SPACE-FX; it is too large, no modulation ability, and doesn't sound great. A better choice may be the PICO DSP; it sounds better, is smaller, and similar price. It doesn't have stereo-in but that may not be an issue.

i had the same logging off issue, but once i rechecked the "keep me logged in" box before login it didnt happen anymore

Is the only difference from mk1 the cable? With no difference in the unpowered module?

try Ok duck duck go.

I recently met a women named Pamela. After her workout she came back home and surprised me by playing the violin. It was a very romantic evening that i want to share with you.

Mutable Instruments Beads control setting:

The feedback control: The 4th wavetable bank.
Time control, fully clockwise.
Dry/wet control, fully clockwise.
Density control, slightly counter clockwise till it generates 1 or 2 grains.
Size control, long reversed slightly modulated with its attenurandomizer.
Shape control, between triangle and ramp up slightly modulated.
Reverb control, 3 o´clock.
Important note: Filter out the high frequency´s
Sequence with your favorite sequencer to taste.

sure, but shouldn't it be simpler? sometimes, it feels weird. "the internet" is perfectly capable of storing, analyzing our every move, reflected in ads and served content everwhere. but saving an actual deliberate choice? sorry, that's rocket science. not to diss modulargrid, but it's something i find odd not just here.

What annoys me is having to reselect region and "reverb offers" in the marketplace basically every time I open the page.
-- blingistan

Step 1: select region + deselect reverb
Step 2: observe that the URL is updated
Step 3: bookmark the URL
Step 4: always access marketplace via bookmark
Step 5: profit

Same here. Can't remember when I last had to log in. Using Safari.

(Not sure about the bank bit, TBH… I habour the suspicion a sizable contigent of users may have more money stored in modules than in their bank account)

do yiu have an external mixer outside od your interface that can handle converting euro levels to line levels? you might eant to look into the ES-9 and skipping sealegs and just multi track mixing the rack in your daw via adat the optx v2 is also an option for this

Hi all, I made a song after playing around on the Elmyra, finding some bassy drone sounds that I accompanied with some Solar 42f and Chromaplane. It's minimalistic, a bit dreamy, and I hope you like it ^_^

Hi, I have a Doepfer A-190-5 midi cv module and need help with it. pitch and gate work fine, but how do you control cv2 and cv3? the manual is a preliminary manual translated from German, so it's not perfectly clear to me how to use cv2 and cv3. I think it says cv2 is controlled by midi velocity. i will try it soon. then cv3 is controlled by monoaftertouch. My sequencer is a yamaha qy 700. how do i control midi cc mono aftertouch from it? which midi cc # is mono aftertouch? thank you very much.

also it's not clear how to change the midi cc value of cv2 and cv3. is it the case that cv2 can only be velocity and cannot be changed? and cv3 can be changed to any midi cc?

For a truly acid sound, very close to the 303, you might also consider the TB-O module.
See: https://modulargrid.net/e/ge0sync-synth-tb-o
@wishbonebrewery has posted several videos on this topic in MG.

For a slowly evolving ambient patch, use the Jitter function. It's an ideal tool for a lively piece.

I'm having the same experience as wishbonebrewery, but Chrome on Samsung S22 (the big one, don't know the stupid names)

Wavehaikus
Here comes the Wavehaikus. A collection of micro patches built within Bitwigs PolyGrid as a base for the sketch. Accessible to all - be inspired, make it better.

Hi folks! This is supposed to be a eurorack geared towards acid bass and similar sounds.
I would like to use it in conjunction with my Polyend Tracker Mini (which I would use for the rhythm base).
What do you think? Do you have any other configurations to propose, possibly cheap (I would like to stay under €400 but I don't know if it's feasible)

-- Gigloada

I think you need a VCA, otherwise this will not work. Ideally you want a second envelope too, otherwise your filter(s) and VCA have to share.

If you are using the polyend tracker, do you really need a sequencer in the case? It's very large.

Once every few months here. No issues, Win 10, Chrome browser.

I'm not sure if ya'll are using session tokens or cookies, but the expiration is set wayyy too short for a site like this. I'm tired of having to continually log in every day, or multiple times a day even.

Here is his latest live setup:

as far I know he is out of eurorack and uses a pulsar 23 + Torso T1 + 1010 Blackbox

I saw him latest at superbooth, playing with some harsh feedback-delay and resonance stuff.

Might be something new again in his setup right now.

i he really use piston Honda where is that verified?
-- chromecube

He's always modifying his live rig from the discussions I've watched and heard. This live rig is from 7+ years ago, so I imagine he's using something else completely different now.

i he really use piston Honda where is that verified?

Thanks!!!

just another take:

2 voices + filter with mixer and drive
or 1 voice + waveshaper + filter with mixer and drive

boombipbass -- Larry Van Doorn, shufflephunk@hotmail.com -- is a fraud! I have a similar experience, only I paid for a module which he shipped to me broken and unusable (and with unoriginal knobs, and without power cable -- he advertised it as "As new"). When I messaged him the module was broken, he said "I dont accept returns" and has not answered messages since. A total asshole.
-- markylorenzen

damn, i found this post to late :(. Larry Van Doorn, shufflephunk@hotmail.com , @larrydekat aka @boombipbass sold me a future retro trax and Send me Nothing but some dead tracking a few weeks ago. all requests for my module, tracking or a solution have been ignored for weeks now...
@larrydekat still has the future retro module up for offer among others.

I wish I would have seen this sooner. I guess it's my fault for not checking his feedback. Just sent him payment for a VCF and nothing but silence since then.

Hi,
Not necessarily, sometimes there are people who stay for a while without accessing the website, other times, I don't know the reason, they never respond...

Hi,

I just joined here and try to make my first module purchases. I sent messages to three different users almost three weeks ago and none of them have replied.

Are my messages not going through, or do they just consider newcomers suspicious? :/

Paid for this at the end of 2023 and never heard back from them. Pity, because I bought a RX-5 module previously without issues. Too late to say avoid, unless they resurge with a different brand.

Hi,

My Happy Nerding FX Aid Pro menu rotates, placing a different effect into the #1 slot. It is making it very difficult to find things since it no longer matches the documentation. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a way to reset the effect listing?

Thanks for your time,

depends on what you want to do.
you can use them also for audio stuff.
But maybe add some more stuff, which you can modulate.

Hi folks. I am thinking about getting Mega Milton for my rack because it has many utilities that I'm lacking right now. One of the main things I was excited about was the line level to eurorack input so I can send guitar into my rig, but looking through the manual I noticed that it only boosts the level by +12db, compared to MI Ears +40db. Has anyone out there used Mega Milton to boost guitar signals, and if so was it enough of a boost to send the guitar directly into it, or did you have to combine it with another module or pedal to get the volume you required.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Maybe paste in the link and remove the pricacy so people can have a proper look at your modules?
