i plugged the gate from BSP into trigger on Plaits

just tried to connect the BSP to plaits as descibed above,but i only get real short sounds comin out of Plaits,what im after some some longer Drone sounds,any tips?

Thanks Guys.another Thing I have a pams new workout can I clock the BST to that?

This looks awesome

awesome thanks guys

Can anyone walk me through how i connect my synthtech E352 and Plaits to the beatstep pro so I can play Them on the 2 beatstep sequencers?

What do I need to connect to what?

How do you check which version firmware?and whats the procedure to update firmware on plaits

Manual can be found here: https://www.endorphin.es/modules/p/grand-terminal

Thanks will have a read

Use the reverb and delay on different sounds at the same time?

Havent really dived into this module yet

P.s i also have the expander for it

Could you post a video clips of this?

The Expert Firmware include the Verhulst’s logistic chaotic system.

Thanks defo looks interesting.but must admit im abit scared of the firmware upgrade process both with the Batumi and zadar

@Broken-Form

outputs to modulation inputs on other modules

adjust attenuverters to set ranges

turn knob (or use input - use attenuator as needed) to change value at output...

imagine the attenuverter for output 1 is set to about 9 o'clock - roughly -0.5

as you move the knob from fully counter clockwise (0) to fully clockwise (1), the value of output 1 will move from 0-> -0.5

etc etc

Thanks will try this out today

I have the A1 synthesis matrix mixer.but need to figure out good ways to use it

I also have the FSS Makrow.but havent used it yet.as im abit baffled how i should patch it up.and there really isent any videos about it.

I decideret to sell my hermod and the CV sequencer. Got a plaits.and a sequential switch adder to my system.for sub i have a sub101 duo coming from analog lab swiss.

So for now i use my korg sq1 with plaits.

One Thing im abit unsure about and havent wrapped my head around (need to watch some tutorials)is maybe getting rid of gran terminal and the expander.think its a Hard module to figure out.and maybe get something like erbeverb. Desmodus fx aid xl instead.
Also need to figure out a good way to use PNW in my system.

Can anyone give me some pointers in ways to patch the sequential switch ?

It's worth mentioning for posterity and because we here love chaos, that the Batumi echoey firmware implements what is called "Verhulst's logistics map" . Since Batumi vanilla is just regular LFO this may not be obvious but it is a pretty useful implemtation such that you can have the four generators running independent or phased versions of the chaos and will have corresponding frequency synced sin and square waves not to mention self modulating possibilities for frequency modulation of each generator. 😎

Where is the Case???

I can recommend the veils vca

@Broken-Form: ‘perfect interception... and... gooal!!!’
‘Wow! Great! The ModularGrid team has a wonderful collective game tonight!’
(More seriously, @Ronin1973, @Broken-Form, I’ll humbly try it too on my side :))
-- Sweelinck

Haha
I cant try it out untill monday.let us know how it turns out

-- Broken-Form

just tried it out,and its a great starting point for some good Drones,so many thanks for the tip

I think one possibility not discussed is mixing.

Think of an oscillator with 4 simultaneous waveform outputs. Connect all four audio outputs into a VCA module that can mix like an Intellijel quad VCA. Then connect four modulation sources into the CV inputs... maybe a quad LFO like the Xaoc Batumi and set the Batumi to really slow rates. Of course you don't have to mix just one oscillator... or you could mix between effects or even mix CV sources instead of audio.

If you combine mixing with filter modulation, etc. the sky is the limit.
-- Ronin1973

Im gonna try this with my E352 and plaits connecting Them to my veils.and then try to setup modulation with batumi and zadar

Thanks gonna check Them out.

If anyone have some interesting patching tips for my ambient system dont hold back🙂

im currently in a writers/patchers block,i could use some tips to help get me out.

this is my case

i do Ambient stuff

could you guys help me out with some Ambient patching ideas that could get me out of that block.

I use mine to either switch modulation outputs between different modulation inputs or vice versa

why do you think you need a buffered mult? how are you sequencing - I don't see a sequencer in the rack... and you already have links... you could probably do fine with a passive mult... there's no need for exact when multing modulation or audio - a tiny bit of voltage droop will be unnoticeable
-- JimHowell1970

thanks,ahh might gonna get a passive mult instead,just to have one in the case other than the links

I usually see sequential switches being recommended for systems with multiple sequencers.i record straight into reaper through the domixx.

Will order the doepfer today also gonna order a doepfer buffered mult

Im making ambient with the above.
Would it make sense to add a doepfer 151 sequential switch to this setup??

Sounds like something's misconnected. Did you verify the polarity on all of the ribbon cables? Given that this was a result of a rearrangement, that would be my guess.
-- Lugia

it was my Doepfer clock divider ribbon cable that was connected wrong

The middle light is the 5v power state. Some distribution board dont includes a 5V supply. Verify the specs of your board.

On the konstant labs pwr checker module the middle light is -12v

The middle light is the 5v power state. Some distribution board dont includes a 5V supply. Verify the specs of your board.
-- defragmenteur

All 3 lights was working before i rearrangged my case

How do I verify the specielt on my board?

My distribution board also has 3 lights and the middle light dont light up as much as the 2 others.
Is it the psu that got damaged?and can I do something to fix it or do I need to buy a new one?

Todages i rearrangged my case
I have a 12u 84hp travelcase with 2 bus boards.i have the konstant labs pwr checker modules with the 3 green lights

I noticed the the middle light on the one module doesent light up now.does this Mean my bus board is screwed?

Im on the train right now.can take some pictures when im home on sunday

i tried using it with usb from hermod to the computer
then choose hermod in the channel in ableton,insert midiclip,but when i play the sound in ableton is kind of high pitched and doesentsound the same as when just using the modular in it self

i need some help

i cant figure out how i setup my squarp hermod to work with ableton,ive tried watching youtube,and going through the manual

can someone give me a step by step direction please?

yeah - that's the one I thought - not on modulargrid yet

between the hermod and the mixer you need voices - vco/vcf/vcas/modulation/envelope generators etc etc and probably some sub mixers for both audio and control voltages - and after the mixer you need an audio interface to connect to your computer

I hope this what you were expecting!
-- JimHowell1970
Thanks im back in the studio tommorrow. One Thing when the modules Are connected to the hermod. How do I connect Them to the d.o.mixx also?i have the domixx connected to channels on my studiolive 1602 interface.

maybe you could benefit for a FX Aid

If you Are in the EU and need a Mattis case i have 1 im Salling as I got a new case

The Eurorack 1U landscape is developing at the moment. Convenient for travel. I'm starting to think about a standalone setup only based on this format.

Endorphin.es is coming. Mosaic, and Intellijel of course, have a great offer. Etc. And Xodes (XO) has created a series of format changers. They allow using 1U modules in a 3U case by creating 1U rows. Perfect for combining with some Picos or 2hps, for example.

-- Sweelinck

Where can these tile carriers be bought?

I was just messing around with Makrow again and was having fun running a few of its outputs to the exp fm inputs of a few oscillators to quickly switch from unison to chords. It sounded really cool after I got it dialed in.
-- farkas
Nice

since you're still looking for other ideas, I gotta mention some software domain stuff:
-- SonicCouture stuff including GeoSonics and others
-- some of the Native Instrument lineup like ScannerXT, Form and others
-- a lot of the GlitchMachines lineup particularly for "tech" sounding textures
-- Spitfire Audio BT Phobos
-- or any sufficiently wierd sample set (like Zero-G Ian Boddy Odyssey) run through granular and other mangling

There's SO much in software, it's really worth a good look. And so much on holiday sale presently. Some modest $s would get you a bunch of the relevant software.

AND assuming you have a DAW to modular setup (like Expert Sleepers unit) you could pass your DAW texture audio into modular for additional mangling
-- nickgreenberg

I would like to be able to do it in the eurorack.what i do now is load my own samples inro the 2hp play module.

A module that looks awesome for textures is the addac 112

Have byen thinking if it would make sense to selv grand terminal and the expander.and get plaits.beads and a desmodus instead.

Would that make sense in this build?

It’s probably not the most creative use, but I love adjusting VCA decay, filter cutoff, and reverb or delay feedback simultaneously. I tend to patch that up pretty often.
-- farkas

The first Thing I had in mind was also to control reverb and delay.will have to see if I can control Them in the grand terminal in some way.

I have a makrow module from future sound systems.
I got it because I would like some more hands on central over my eurorack.for my ambient music.but havent used it yet.

Whats your favorite Thing to use it for?

Tetrapad and tete combo
acid rain navigator

some great tips,keep them coming

I have heard that alt of People have a Hard time getting something usefull out of the doepfer 106-1.but it sounds interesting bring able to manipulate it with revers and delays.

Also thinking about adding a plads and beads Combo

And for some control/hands on a tetrapad and tete Combo

Awesome thanks Guys.i already got the reseq on my list for modules to check out.will check out those videos

Forgot about this.have updated my case.have sold the octopus. Considering the filterbank.also have put the hermod back in the case.

Considering Salling the wasp and replace it with the doepfer 106.

Any thoughts

EDITED Nov 11th 2021, 18:56

Got it working,but the volume is abit low.
would you recommend to normalise the samples when exporting from audacity?

I think that means that if you want your files to load in a certain order, start with:

A File name
B File name
C File name.... and so on
-- wishbonebrewery

Ah yes that makes sense

Have downloadet the manual.
Buy think i read somewhere.the samples needed to be named in a certain way.but in the manual it says that the samples will be chosen in alphabetic order?
