I would watch a lot of videos on Rene first. Especially the ones by Make Noise and James Ciglar.

It's not exactly for everyone but once I got into it I've really enjoyed it. It's a little complex, at least for me, but only because it's different. But I have other ones: the BSP and the Knit Rider by Bastl. Im seriously looking at the Metropolis now by Intelijel.

Yeah, check out the racks I have - a 12u and a skiff . I am building a second 9U in a few weeks, and then hopefully not expanding any more for a while. But then I say that all the time. ;-)

I also bought Shelves on accident (it was on sale!) so don't feel bad. ;-). I'm sure it's a good module, but it overlaps other stuff I have. I don't have the version with the expanded filter options like you do.

I don't know Yarns but if you are using a computer with this or external sequencer I hear it is very good. I use a Beatstep Pro and a Rene myself. It's all personal choice of course - I don't do live performances. :)

Mutable is very nice stuff - I have Clouds and Braids and thinking of Grids - but I also like the more "raw" tools like Maths, and dedicated VCOs and filters. Anyway - good luck with your choices!

It's a nice selection but any reason in particular you are using almost exclusively MI equipment? I would mix it up a bit myself. Also, something like Shelves is taking a lot of space and maybe not providing much benefit for your usage.

I would add a sequencer of some kind. Metropolis is a good one though maybe too big here. Or Pam's Workout.

Hey All -

This is my actual setup, except it is in several separate skiffs, and the Mother 32 is in its case still. I am building the actual case and consolidating all 4 x 104HPs...My other Rack (Alice Copy) is where I am contemplating new gear for a later period...

I bought most of the gear within a 2-month period. I live in Sweden (where there are no modular shops), so when I had a couple chances to visit Control in Brooklyn I took advantage of it. They were very helpful, especially seeing I was a relative newbie, and they talked me out of some bad ideas. I know synths pretty well, going back to he early 80's...but it was mostly integrated synths, not modules and some of the nuts and bolts of modular/analog...

I've had a lifelong fascination with synths and multi-generations of sound explorers...(Eno, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada, Casino vs. Japan, Tricky, etc..)

I also have a Mini Korg MS-20, which I cannot patch into unless I get a voltage convertor like the English Tear. Additional gear includes an Eventide DSP 4000 Ultra-harmonizer for some fun effects, and an old Waldorf Microwave II rack module I bought new in 1997.

Couple contemplations....

• Trying to be as computer free as possible....using Logic Pro for recording mostly now, and some plug ins....

• Enjoy generally bizarre and unconventional devices...on the lookout for such...
