🙏 Thanks for listening and reading.

They’ve always been responsive to me. That’s unfortunate. Website was the best place to get ahold of them.

I just ran into a problem were I used a Tiptop Audio Buchla 281t (the Quad Function Generator) to control an Intellijel Quad VCA and the 281t locked up and produced a constant hum. As it turned out I had to use a buffered multiple in between, which is related to the impedance not matching.

It would be awesome to add some information about module parameters, like the impedance, voltage range, trigger width and so on, this would make it much easier to figure out which modules are compatible and which might need some tools like the aforementioned multiple or an offset/attenuator to make them work together smoothly.

Can we please get some sort of manual or overview video? I‘love to get one but there are too many questions for the investment.
My main question is, if I can do classic filter movements to, low pass sweep over chords or is it always a little experimental? How deliberate is the sound sculpting? Can I cut some low end while still operating above?
Basically the question is if I would need a second filter in the chain for controlled cutting of the low and high end.
Also: how did you create the stereo field, what outputs do you use?

EDITED Jul 20th, 07:00

My Main Case:

I've organised more in line with things being complete voices, moved the SSF Vortices to be a bit more central and kicked out some of the more esoteric modules to my new case, the most recent addition is the AfterLater Compactor which I can feed my main basslines to from my Top Case via the DPW M1 Mixer for some Side chaining. I now note that I could do with a Mutes to mute the audio signal of the kick rather than muting the Kick sequence that controls the compressor so that the signal doesn't go back to a high state.
Top Case:

Broadly speaking this case is near perfect for me, though there is a possibility I'll swap the Font filter to something else and maybe get a dedicated Effects module rather than the Disting.
Percussion Case:

I'm kinda tempted by the Nano OCTA but something else would have to go if I did, I guess I'm not always happy with the sound of the Patching Panda BD-Z and one of the ADDAC T-Networks could move.
New Rack:

This is currently just a higgledipiggledy mess, I'm selling the Befaco EvenVCO and ADSR on ebay, I didn't use the VCO enough and the ADSR takes up too much room and doesn't have an inverted out so will be swapping that to be an ST Modular ADSR in just 4hp for the main case and I want the 4hp Befaco Mixer too which will complete the main case.
In an ideal world I'd probably upgrade the Main Case to be 104hp and get rid of the New Rack as I have a bit of a space issue.

I find myself awating each new pioneer123/manic modular drop....

so I'd be remiss if I didn't ask if you planned on collecting your works in physical or digital album format(s)?

Thank you for sharing as always!
-- Jukeshoe

Thank you very much, very kind of you to say. Its always nice to hear when someone else enjoys your music.
I've never thought of doing a proper release as didnt think anyone would buy it hahaha.
But you may have planted a seed.....
Thank you once again

You're right. I suppose you'd need a reference voltage and a comparator per output to make it an ADC.

-- theneweuropa

Much more than that. Analog to digital conversion is complex and is usually handled by a dedicated chip. For discrete implementation you would need either 2^n-1 comparators where n is the number of bits (eg 255 comparators for 8 bits) and a string of 2^n resistors plus a complex network of data encoding gates, OR a complicated state machine that performs a quick series of measurements with a set of thresholds per each input sample.

Thanks to both for following up :) Much appreciated.

Amazing design

Kick a bit high in the mix I think, overshadowing the otherwise very impressive work going on underneath. Good stuff though, subscribed.

awesome - I need this

Description
New live session!
Today, I'm testing the compatibility between my Machinedrum and two Eurorack cases.
The Pamela's NEW Workout syncs my Machinedrum
SPS-1 UW MKIl with my Make Noise rack, while the DivSkip takes care of sequencing it.
The Make Noise rack generates both percussive sounds and drones. With the Jumbler, I create a kind of matrix that selects sounds from the XPO-some are punchy and rhythmic, others are sustained melodic notes.
The Bruxa adds a truly unique reverb texture.
Maths and MultiMod create modulation and percussive variations. Everything is filtered through two modules:
QPAS and QMMG.
In the Intellijel 62hp Palette case, I shape a rhythmic drone using the Multigrain and Sealegs, also sequenced by the Pamela's NEW Workout.
Finally, the Machinedrum handles all the drums and kick duties, delivering a tight and organic groove.

I'm looking to create a starter rack for breakbeats/D&B/techno lead/bass design in tandem with my Oxi One mkii.
The One covers all generative and sequencing tasks, so the rack is just meant to be mangle-able voices for it.

The Corals will be lead, chords and basslines on #1 and drums on #2. Not entirely sure how/if I want to run drums through FX. I also have considered that having one module that sums the lead, chords and bass voices into one output is not ideal for throwing FX on only single parts and may be severely limiting. It's cool that via MIDI, one can split up the voices to use different engines on Coral, but not useful that they dont have 8 individual outs also. That would've increased the form factor quite a bit, but I think would've made it a BEAST.

I think I will need some interesting mixer module with 2 stereo outs to be able to effectively route both modules through the later FX chain, but I'm not sure which would best serve those needs as a newbie to this scene.

Perhaps another STMIX before Maths, and I can use it as an FX-Send with channels 3/4 into the Maths-Morph-Naut-Aid chain, while running ch1/2 clean to the next STMIX?

Thank you to anyone who can give any feedback or thoughts on what you'd do differently!

want 8 stage seq going to 2 sep VCOs but want to be able to have one VCO hold the pitch CV whenever I want while the other keeps incrementing, so need two sequencers with same pitch settings and rate, seq A goes straight to VCO1 as normal, seq B has to be the 960 for the ind gate ins.
- Clock Vgates and time suite with same clock value through switch getting diff sync rates backplane
- Vgates outs 1-8 imto octal VCA ins 1-8, VCA outs 1-8 patched to 960 gate ins 1-8
- Q170 gate outs 1-8 into octal VCA ctrl ins 1-8
- start with all 8 pads high/Q170 all gates high, means both VCOs will be playing every note
- selectively disable Q170 gates to have VCO 2 hold & sustain pitch for the previous step while VCO1continues to increment pitch

Detail
1 Multiclock DIN sync>time buffer>8s thru 32nd pulses to switch backplane, then to Moon 568, volt ministore 4 and Vgates
2 start pulse from time divider resets Vgates, switch for time divisions, 568 and VMS4

one of my fav pedals sound is stunning !

I'm confusimg myself by keep changing modules but I thought I would rationalise on sequencimg by just going for the vector.

What do you think of this? I'm not sure about squid sample or chords, and am I missimg anything?

Keystep v/oct:
- nano voice
- plaits
- rings
- bia

Droid gates:
1- kick
2-snr
3- hats

5- texture (samples ableton + beads)
6- rings
7- plaits
8- accent

There are analog implementations of ADCs in Eurorack in the form of R-2R resistance ladders. Equation Group by Wildfire Laboratories is one example.

-- theneweuropa

R-2R ladder is a simplified implementation of a DAC, not an ADC. So this could be a substitute of the right side of Drezno, not the left side.

You're right. I suppose you'd need a reference voltage and a comparator per output to make it an ADC.

Functions should include "PreAmp", since that's basically half of the module ;)

Thank you Enrico :)
Will also have a look... That 8 bit stuff is a new concept for me but I have seen/listened to some pretty nice stuff done with various modules and thathas caught my attention. Had no idea about this brand though.
Best,

There are a couple of Beers modules that might interest you:

Thanks for the info.
Will have a look at it.

In this video, I recreate some of the complex astronomical forces behind the ocean tides, by using precisely-calibrated oscillators, adders, and other modules. I then use this “bio-model” to drive two ambient patches – the first in VCV Rack and the second in Eurorack.

Hi :)
I am interested in this module but would like to know if there is an alternative as the LEFT side of this module (analog-to-digital-converter) is the one I am interested in.
Is there such a "reduced version" of this module? Whether from XAOC or another brand?
Thanks for any help or hint on the subject,
L

Probably the most beautyful patch I found. It is a few years old but unparalleled in its beauty while beeing fairly simple.

_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing&si=d181fee048c34c8e81ad0848e4470c13

Feel free to post your most beautyful patches as well, it might make for a great and inspiring collection one day :)

Separated the main sequencing to this

("5" years of practicing with the following: Deluge, Minibrute 2s, o coast), + Paratek Saturn, Disting mk4, nlc Pills 1u, nlc This 2 shall pass, 3hwr, r2r dac, bastl Cinimon, stmod Diz, & o_c . (& exactly 19 patch cables)
o_c & cinimon are only a couple months now

im looking for something to experiment & lern with,
-like chaining things to make my own complex sequencer,
-control over too many things at once,
-audible landscapes,
-lots of feed back & harsh noise/texture,
-strange related abstract shapes etc
-fun confusion

lmk things I overlooked, too much/not enough, suggestions etc.

One handy feature of the Module Finder feature is the dropdown option for "Product Lifecycle."

You can weed out discontinued or prototype modules by selecting "Currently Available."

Best wishes!!!

Excellent, thank you. I didn't realise about the alternative models, so I will swap them out :-)

Here is a recording with a "mastering" (by myself) and without, no other editing or effects. I think even if you take away the db gain, it still adds a bit more balance and glues it together imo.

I have a Tesseract Stonk (which is a very powerful module) and I notice a certain behaviour when saving and loading presents.

A power cycle restores the Presets but seems to clear the Loop contents.

Is this correct or am I missing something?

EDITED Jul 21st, 10:11

Time to get pissed on Guinness and start patching.. innit? ...mate.

Beautiful!!
-- Jukeshoe

Thank you kindly :)

Beautiful!!

A few minor details, if you haven't purchased any of these yet: Quadra is probably best swapped with the newer version Quadrax. Plaits may be better in micro version aka uPlaits (check out Cal synths or the like), same thing, slightly smaller. The Quadra and Plaits may otherwise be harder to track down or be used vs. new. IF that matters to you, may not. :)

My gut feelings, take it or leave it, is a 2nd sequencer may be a tad much in this setup?

In my humble opinion, can't go wrong with a Quadrax/QuadVCA/Plaits (or uPlaits)/Batumi setup. Covers VCA, mixing, envelops, random sources (random lfos from Quadrax, Batumi), LFOs (Batumi & Quadrax).

And plaits is obv a classic.

Best luck!!!!

*Edit: Make sure Batumii II vs. the first one...best to go with the newer versions...

Sweep and Regen are broken, no function anymore. Tried to cantact SSF many times over all possible platforms. No reaction at all, really bad customer support. Maybe my last SSF Module

i have everything except the IFM modules. im currently in the middle of a studio remodel, so no sounds at the moment. hopefully soon. thanks for your interest.

I've made a few mods :-)

What do you think? Is it worth having the extra sequencer?

That looks so awesome! Is it an actual rack of yours? I would love to hear it :)
