This may not be anything to do with what you are talking about but I have Pams as my main clock and the Midi out controlling my Beatstep pro, while playing i see the BPM change on the beatstep and can hear the slowdown in tempo. As far as i can see i do not have any Swing or probability set on the beatstep and I never have an issue with Pams swaying about as its rock solid.

I swapped the 914 for some other modules. Still no larger case ;-)
Any thoughts?

Well done!

So one of the underdeveloped areas is sync. Although not exclusive to Eurorack it has to be said that sample accurate syncronisation of a DAW to USB Devices such as Arturia's Beat Step, remains an ongoing source of frustration.

Some time ago I had this solved. I bought a relatively cheap box from Expert Sleepers called USAMO. This box enabled me to install a plugin on a audio or instrument channel. The plugin then produced a time code that was sent through an audio output on my interface, from there over a jack cable to the USAMO box.

On the other side of the box a midi output to Beatstep Pro. And uallah I my DAW was in sample accurate syncronisation with my Eurorack.

Some time has passed, Operating systems come and go, I switch from PC to MAC and to make a long story short nothing is working at the moment.

I would apreciate a healthy discussion on this topic, do you have sync problems or is your system working.

Now I have 2 x Presonus Quantum 2626 running at 192 khz sampling rate and each connected via thunderbolt lll cables. They are synced between them by Word Clock BNC. Those then are set as one agregate device in the Apple Mini M1.

Here's the article I wrote and now seems to not be valid anymore, atleast it needs complete revision.

Great set....

Hi... is the price with the chicken included?! I'm new to eurorack, are there more modules like this? like that yellow duck that is on toilets on movies and ads - although I'm thinking since that doesn't make a sound it might be more trigger generator or so?

I also have a panel version i would like to upload, for ALM's Beast's Chalkboard. I have it in black, and I cannot figure out how or where to upload a picture of the module with the black panel installed. Any luck resolving this?

Voice 1 - (arpeggiated) Ataraxic It. to Sinc Bucina to BF22. Sequenced by Arpitecht
Voice 2 - (Bass) TS-L with Function to quad VCA to BF22. Sequenced by Varigate 8+
Voice 3 - (Leads) Synth/Sample from NerdSeq for 8-bit leads. Sequenced by NerdSeq.
Voice 4 - (Chords) Three from Edges to bubble mix to Tangle Quartet to Ripples with O&C envelopes. Sequenced by Arpitecht
Voice 5 - (Percussion) BIA, noise from Edges, sample from NerdSeq to bubble. mix to Freeze
Optional: Pairs well with TR-8

Hi Thermal,

Thanks a lot for your review of the SoundForce Dual Filter. Pity indeed of the jumper on the back to switch between LP & HP, otherwise it sounds great! :-)

Have fun with it and thanks a lot for letting us know, kind regards, Garfield.

I've also added a couple of WMD Soft Start modules that I am planning to attach to the Endorphin.es Ghost (130 mA on -12v) and Super Critical Neutron Flux (120 mA on -12v, 150 mA on +12v). These two modules could be contentious on startup with the two tube modules, the M/277 and Mimosa, which will require a surge at startup.

Unfortunately the WMD Soft Start does not support mA over 500, so it cannot be used to soft start the M/277. I may move the soft starts around the case to see what works best when they arrive, since this case could have power draw issues.

Dream come true! I performed my first live set with my modular synth at Paradiso in Amsterdam during Voltage Control Amsterdam. An evening with eight modular performances in one of the most beautiful concert venues of the Netherlands

It was a magical moment for me where a lot of things I have been doing in my music and theatre career came together in a wonderful mashup of storytelling and modular synth music. Please enjoy and do let me know what you think of my first liveset. Many thanks go out to Bart and Voltage Control Amsterdam for having me perform.

Nice transaction with @loopspool. Module well packet. fast shipping and very communicative. Recommended seller.

yes, 6U and not 2U TY. Have been moving around non-Eurorack rack modules lately and misspoke.

Well yes he probably understood that his theory was flawed. But no I will leave it standing. Those are small companies making Eurorack modules and their work should not be torn down here on those pages of modulargrid.net without premise.

I think Elvis made the right decision :)

Now I don't know what type of transformers you are using or the electricity structure in your facilities, but I would unplug it and have it analyzed by a specialist.

The original Poster has left the building! You might want to scrap all that as it's Yesterday's news Today ;-)

@mattroix was just piggy-backing on this topic with a question.

Well I don't think you are lying, however, I don't think your problem is the quality of your modules. Something is faulty in your electrical setup.

"the failure rate in my studio is almost 40%. No lie....."

Well this is not normal and it doesnt point to one faulty module but rather a faulty system.

I have had my øchd for two years or so and I just bought two expanders so I need to buy one more øchd.

I have a huge system and many high end modules and I can safely say that the build quality of the øchd is superb and up there with the best of them, and the same should be sayd about Bill Wilson's design, simply a badass modulation source.

It may be worth making a short video of the issues and sending it to Instruo, there email is in their T&Cs info@instruomodular.com

For me as a producer of beer we like to investigate any issues that get reported and react as best we can to resolve problems or indeed in some cases our due dilligence tells us we have done everything correct and the customer is doing something wrong, each case is tracked back to production records and staff consulted so that we can always improve and if needed adjust process to target consistency.
Thankfully problems are vanishingly rare but we still take the time to see if improvements can be made.

Another Harvestman session from yesterday. :)

4 of the 8 outputs of my OCHD are faulty. First it was just 1 of them, but it gets worse over time. Had it for around 2 years.
I have a friend who has the same problem with this OCHD.

I had 3 Instruo modules and 2 of them turned out to be faulty, which is not enough experience of course, but I never had any issue with any other brands, I have a large system, and probably had around 150 modules so far.

The 2 compressors by GinkoSynthese are awesome too

I am not against it in general but it is quite an effort especially to port the data to MG. The images on that page don't look very useful either?

Ok I sent an email to "Look mum" about this thread so lets see if he can offer better pictures

thanks for the response! i picked up a keeley 4 knob pedal this weekend for $100 after trying about 9 others. also thinking about trying the dannysound or Gods box lollipop.

I don't give up. There is a new update where the Search field will not lose the focus when the cursor hovers of the rack above.
This should prevent most accidental deletions of modules. However now you have to click on the rack again to make the shortcuts work.

The best module without doubt is the SCOPE if you have an es8/es9 - Its like a free Mordax. I use this all the time

I also think Omri Cohen is the shizz!

I also love the BogAudio, JW and Vult Stuff - I only have a few brands that I have downloaded and only go looking for other stuff when I need a specific thing as there is too much duplicated stuff on there.

It is a must have when you have a small rack and an ES8/ES9 but I think if you have a larger rack there isn't the need to use a hybrid approach in my opinio, but for sure using as an end of stage mixer is typically more fully featured in VCV

I have the same issue. I have looked all over (I guess ;-) and did not find anything. Quite unfortunate, because that would make Cellz really performative...

I do this all the time too - it proper annoys me because I have to get up from my chair and look at my actual physical rack ( I know right !!!), to remember which order I had my modules in. I much prefer to make examples on MG of how I can fit my modules in the available space than actually make music lol

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes it can. Select the rack you want to copy. Select the Edit menu at top right, select Duplicate Rack. Give your duplicated rack a new name. Your original rack still exists.

DOH! Brilliant! I keep forgetting about that handy EDIT button! Thanks!

Edited the title (thanks)

So, can it be done?

Greetings!
I invite you to listen to my last album, subtle piece with just six B 2500 modules and Texture Lab as fx mode.
Performed and recorded live for BEAST International Film Festival.
I hope you like it.
All the support is welcomed and loved.
Kind regards and sonic flow.

Is it possible to copy a rack, so we can modify the copy without destroying the original?

Between the new firmware and this expander, Nerseq has attained an entire level up in capability. I can't wait to get mine.

hello everyone. After selling my last system a couple of years ago i wanted to get back into synthesis. this is my new rack.
I am making generative ambient stuff and also do some sampling into a 404. i only make music at home for fun so i do not plan on taking this out of my house.
I put the moog mother 32 in the case because i cannot stand blank space. i plan on removing it at some point and putting modules in its place.
These are the things i am thinking about putting in:
Plaits clone or another oscillator
some cv mixer
zadar eg
morphagene
another filter
sum diff module
frap 321 utility
Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

Hi,
there is a

Yes but it doesnt seem to have a functioning grid, meaning the option of making a rack and populating it. Another good thing is that the racks here on modulargrid.net will sum up the power consumtion + it will warn if a module could be incompatable. If someone can find the actual kosmo grid I'd be very happy

Is it not just 5U or something??
-- wishbonebrewery

Well I think the hight might be the same but the with is variable, although i must admit i have not checked since it is usually referred to as different format from 5u

Hi,

I am a Eurorack guy venturing into doing DIY. I bought most of the kosmo pcp's and panels and I miss being able to use modulargrid designing the project. So I would like to ask admin to add the format.

Hi All,
I've changed the modules in this rack several times, but I think I'm close to what I want.
My intention is for the bottom row to serve several functions:
1. As a supplement to the Kobol
2. As a pseudo Trautonium voice, using sub harmonic generation from the Tides clone
3. As an audio in effects source for acoustic instruments

I welcome comments and suggestions,
Peace

Haha... Where do the cables go? :-)

An interesting unit using “new-old” East German germanium transistors to create some unique fuzz effects.
Simple build, but make sure you look carefully at the picture to install the transistors correctly.
And it does what you’d expect, provides some good fuzzy output, with variable feedback and fuzz. Fuzz also has CV input, an LFO sounds good with it.
Great atmospheric effects possibilities.

Build

Interesting.
So I discovered this Kinotone Ribbons... Amazing pedal, subtitled 'Magnetic tape emulator'. Compression is one of the components to obtain a Lo-Fi emulation.
1) Have you looked at EarthQuaker Devices?
2) To get your ‘too much effect’, among the Eurorack modules, could a Cosmotronic Peradam plus Messor set be suitable?

the plan ^^

the build ^^

(yay!)

This is the worst mis-feature of modulargrid.

Hi @Loersatz,
This may or may not be what you're looking for, but it came to mind for me when reading your post!

Edit: It is officially discontinued, but I believe I've still seen it in stock at some of the online shops.

Nice :)
Thanks for sharing this.
Exactly what I was looking for.

I have this setup with a 4ms 40hp powered skiff. It works great for sequencing drum machines outside the eurorack format using a converter box or 3.5mm to 1/4in cables. I pair this with my Pulsar 23 and it's great.

What is the most extreme compressor module? Anything that can sound like "way too much compressor effect". I love the sound of the kinotone ribbons pedal, but those aren't available currently. Can be a module, pedal, or rack. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
