they sound broken, maybe you should sell them off cheap? id be interested
-- owbotic

no,. other ideas?

i worry that the yarns may be redundant, considering that the FRR and the AK do cv to midi...what would be a good replacement if this is true?

i'm new to this, so please forgive me if i've overlooked something essential. the fact that i'll be incorporating my AK and FRR leads me to believe that these two units will fill in roles in the usual rack.

Intellijel 7U case. To be used with Mixbox:

To be used in an Intellijel 7U case along with Funbox v2.0:

ZDSP outs L+R -> Machinedrum inputs A + B
Machinedrum out C -> Multiple input

Hi, i have a Case :D
-> Doepfer Energy
Trigger Riot
TipTop SD, BD, CP, Hats (stereo okay)
Bismilus Iteritas
A-106-1 (stereo okay)
PoleZero SSF/WMD
Disting mk3
AD-Neuron
AD-Spectre
2x Malleko Mix

Okay...i have no consonance Stereo Out in my Headphones direct listening from
- Pole Zero (also if stereo from TipTop-SD, i have 95% mono left side here)
- Malekko Mix (both) ( 95% mono left side)
- Neuron ( 95% mono left side)
- Bisimilus ( 95% mono left side)

What happens here?
Energy Problems?

Headphones are okay, A-106 brings my stereo back...

Thanks for helping.

Greetings all,

This is my first eurorack ever. I am going for a starter kit where I have all the bases covered. Couple OSCs, filters, buffed mult, mixer, env. generator, midi to CV module, etc.

Any tips or suggestions are welcome as I am a newbie when it comes to modular synthesis.

thanks!

A good option to replace the maths would be the 4ms Quad Pingable LFO. Each can be used as a one-shot AD if the ping clock is stopped. Plus, rhythmic modulation and a clear next step for expansion (e.g. QCD).

Was wondering if i could get any advice about this setup. First thing to point out is I have Anshuri in box so rack space is not an issue its just there for illustration purposes. Also I have a 606 I modded with trig ins which i plan on using with the trgger riot hence no drums in the rack. So the question is. do i need more utilities to make this practical? I'm not sure if i need more basic linking, mixers, envelopes VCAs etc?? any opinions from seeasoned eurorackers ?? cheers

Well 3 month is too much imho... All sales sites have it maximum 1 month... You should change that and keep it clean :)

The ads are already timed and selfdestruct after 3 month. Maybe that period is too long...
Since we are not included in any transaction it's hard/next to impossible to find out which offer is still valid...

Hi!

Well I've seen and asked too many people already for items they're selling and in the end they already sold them. And I bet it's contaminated with much more... You guys need to find a new solution to this as it's a pain in the ass and then you end with like 300 ads for just a region and in the end you have like 200 real for sure.

One of the ideas is to put a timed ad... After 3 weeks of not notifying if sold or remove if given up for sale the ad should delete itself and user must add it again.

The Marketplace feels like a jungle now...

Cheers

Don't forget it also functions as 3 independent attenuators.

I too put one in my rack to power my BSP, not enough ma. Now I use it to power 2 gooseneck led lamps, which is great as my rig is portable and lighting can be a problem.

we need kit :)

I'd pick up a second Z3000. They FM incredibly well together.

I thought buying a second VCO but mostly because I have the opportunity to get an AS RS95e for 80 €. But yes..a second Z3000, why not, I really like it!
Correct me if I'm wrong: for a basic full synth voice, I just need to grab an LFO. But if I want to make rich and complex ambient or industrial textures and process some external sounds, I need a lot of modulators! So wtb next: pay the price for an all-in-one module like Math (enven if the complexity scares me a bit) or take some entry level LFOs/RM/S&H/Noise modules from Doepfer..?

It sure has enough modules to do something meaningful. Question is what exactly are you trying to achieve? Looks like you want to plug in some sort of guitar or similar. In that case you may want to have something to convert the pitch of your instrument / controller to CV so you can actually play your synth with it, such as the RS-35 . Also, there is a lack of VCA and mixer for my taste. Loose one the uZEUS and get a mixer instead. Did you notice, the guitar interface module seems to be DIY only.

Hello! Can anyone tell me if this synth ecosystem has enough pieces to function and make a wide variety of sounds? The synth is the second one called First Mod.

I watched a couple demos on YouTube, and I envisioned using it to generate arpeggios (apparently missing the core concept, lol). Once I realized it wasn't going to work for that purpose I took it off, I just forgot to edit my post to reflect the change. Thx for the input TriangleMan

I love the Trigger Riot, but I'm curious how you plan on using it with this setup. I primarily use mine for triggering drums and envelopes. I'm wondering if you have enough destinations to to justify it.

Nice! Really like the part around 2:00.

I'd pick up a second Z3000. They FM incredibly well together.

I just pre-ordered one from PCA.

In the picture, it looks like it can be removed from the case. It seems like it would be an odd design choice to not make it compatible with a eurorack case.

okay. thanks .. I am on the manual ... too weird tho ... ur vid only shows static ;(

Thank you @Datasette for the System X Envelope. I created an account here because of your offer :)

how do u control the telharmonic? I am super stupid and new to modular .. so far I hate the module :( --- thanks for reply

I would suggest reading the manual to get started:

You could also look at some of our videos on our youtube channel:

Nothing good comes easy... modular synthesis is no different then learning any other instrument. Takes time.

Hi all, this is actually my first rack. Any suggestions on what to buy next? I'd like something not too expensive, exotic or complicated as I'm starting, and analog only. DIY is ok! Thanks

I see this is a DIY. Any details on construction plans?

When creating a new rack it would be very practical to be able to input the power qualifications of your case (as an optional requirement) so power warnings are particular to your current setup, when modules exceed your case's power possibilities.

hi,

i pay for an article that never arrive, the guy send me a wrong tracking number after to weeks.

he still have the module available

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/tiptop-audio-rs808

not sure if here the proper way to report this

Thank you, moegl! :-) It's rather fun. Next step is getting this into a 7U Intellijel case (inbound now)! It's quite a challenge doing all mixing through the Cold Mac, but this build is specifically about creative constraints and limitations, and it's actually taught me a TON about Cold Mac. (Super-hint: The TriAtt is the key to making Cold Mac much more flexible.)

oh! this is beautiful! perfect size and playability in a small system!
love the drones that you are producing with this setup!

be carefull with the user @gleb

i buy a module and nothing arrive to me after 3 weeks, and also i ask for a tracking number for the shipment, after 2 week the guy send me a wrong one.

i lost my money and no module came :(

No worries. I marked it at unlisted so no one else will find it.

It's best to make sure the advanced search is used, and that you select DIY and Assembled. That way you should see everything.

Dang, it won't let me delete. I've poisoned the well. Again.

Oops! I searched and couldn't find! Will remedy ASAP

My current plan for a starter rack. Already have the Mother-32 and the Pittsburgh Synth Box (The Mother-32 was great by itself, but paired with the Synth Box it sounds incredible). This is likely gonna end up in an SKB rack case or something like it, so went with 84HP wide, 6U high. Tried to go for multi-function modules wherever possible and also balance out number of VCOs, LFOs, EGs and VCFs. I'm basically going for a "noise machine" that can either generate arpeggios or drones (pads ?), kind of like what you get from a Korg KAOS. And after watching a demo of the Jellysquasher, well, I just felt like I absolutely needed that :)

Any advice for swaps/additions is welcome.

Just started my first modular :-)
My idea is to create a multiband processor............Split up the signal in different bands and proces them differently
Modulate with Math and my elektron analog four too create some weird noises.
At this moment I only have Clouds and Warps........Fxdf and Maths are on their way and probably a vca and a mixer will follow.

What do you guys think...........do I mis something.

couldnt find it via search, thanks! cheers

Hey guys,
I've used analog synths and softsynths, but now I would like to expand my setup with a modular synth! :)

Ive looked into it and have built a few racks on modular grid, but I wouldn't mind some guidance.

My budget is currently around 1500 USD (im in australia so this would be around 2000 AUD), but I would also like suggestions on a budget of 1800 USD (2500 AUD). I would eventually like to work up to an all-rounder rack.

Ive been searching modules online and I really like the sounds of these:

VCO's:
Braids
Dixie II+

Modulation:
Doepfer Quad ADSR

I know I've only selected 3, I dont know about the rest hahah.

Any configs you suggest?

Doepfer Quad Decay thing is pretty awesome, yeah. I've been trying to get more people into LFOs with a reset input. They really make great envelopes, especially when they can be hit with CV. (This is part of the reason I suggest VCDLFO.) Also, check the WMD/SSF ADSRVCA - pretty worth the money. Slew limiters and waveshapers, too, can do wonderful things to gates and the like... Analog Ordinance Shrapnel? IDK... maybe I have just gotten bored with more "traditional" envelope generation.

By the way, I know one person with 4 Maths, one person with 5!!

@askthedust - nice contact, i paid with pp f/f - all good, would do business again!

also good traders:

@philmn
@didah (he is awesome! he accepted my goofiness on paypal fees outside germany and paid more for shipping as he charged me - i still feel ashamed ...)
@p_ache
@modezart
@soundray

Thanks for the input guys! What do you think would be a better combo of envelopes? I've had some luck with Maths and passive VCAs that I've built, but it does act finicky with the Unity outputs. Trying to find reasonably priced, multi-purpose envelopes is like a needle in a haystack! I know the Doepfer quad envelope is pretty cheap...

I'm planning something like this and would welcome any recommendations. Perhaps there is something I'm overlooking.

What I have:

2X Moog M-32s
1X 3-tier kit

EDITED Jun 1st 2016, 15:29

also maths doesn't play well with passive modules like the meng-qi dplpg
and for up to a grand you could get a lot more bang for buck with simpler modules and it would be better to learn from
