I forgot to mention that the DIY solution is ok to me if no SMD/Surface mount soldering is present.

Any news on this company or module? Their website doesn't work, and it's nigh impossible to find anything else on them.

Here is a video with this current setup as of April 4, 2017

Thanks to @robocoder! Sold a perfect working WMD SSM. Shipping from Japan needed just 4 days to Austria! Package was super-well packed!

Truly an essential part of any system. 10/10 would fry again.

Hi. What do you think is missing?
Thanks for help!!

Just received Braids from @computersynths and couldn't be happier. Is immaculate, super fast shipping and a great price! Highly recommended!

Hi guys !

I would like to change this setup but I have no ideas on what to buy next, so many choices... The main purpose is to make experimental/generative/ambient/indus/noise.
I was in a shop last week and the seller advised me to take a Batumi and maybe a second filter (multimode).

Just bought an Intellijel double ADSR from @robocoder and had an extremely pleasant transaction. Highly recommended.

Part of a larger system

Thank you to @tFunk ! Good service and fast transaction - module in perfect shape.

Looking for some input. In short, I have Moog Mother x 2, Korg MS-20Mini and Phenol. Looking to expand into a 6u setup to close the loop. Also have Analog Keys that I'll incorporate for CV/Gate tracks. Thinking about a BS Pro, primarily for TRIG outs to use as a clocking device, but clearly the additional 2 channels of CV/Gates could be handy. Plan to sequence heavily from DAW through MIDI input on YARNS.

Music Style: Globally quite industrial (dance, rock, metal), but love doing ambient as well. Incorporate lots of guitar and bass into the work.

So, here's what I'm looking at right now. Already ordered the following:

Yarns, Braids, Peaks, Veils, Tonestar 2600, ALM S.B.G. (Malekko device shown in place of), Maths, Cinnamon, and Buffered Mult.

Looking to add the following: Shapeshifter OR E350 and Warps.

Is there anything glaringly missing, or suggestions? Processing (Reverb, Effects, etc...) will be pedals and vsts, though not opposed to the idea of some modules for processing audio.

I can use the filters in Mothers and 2600, as well as the Envelopes, LFOs, and VCAs (though there are obvi limitations as they;re normalled). Not sure I need more of these components.

Anyhow. Advice/comments appreciated.

I can't seem to copy/paste my rack jpg here.

Thank you @soundray ! Great communication and easy seller to work with :)

hi all,

like others here i went deep down the rabbit hole recently and i'm totally enthralled and in a delirium like state, modular synths are everything i was looking for a looooong time, i just didn't know it had a name! now that i do... its all i know.

here is a picture of my rack, i still don't know many things, and probably have chosen a few things on it just to be with the cool kids so please advise.

i am an artist/ filmmaker & i want to build a synth that fits some criteria:

• make soundscapes / sound design for my short films
• can any modules do foley sounds?
• play live music for performances
• should be fun
• video synthesis / VJ
• should be somewhat portable - the erica synths travel case looks ideal, is pretty co$$$tly tho
• i can solder/diy myself, and would prefer this
• want some weird, unusual, esoteric modules
• am highly interested in euclidean rhythms and neo-riemannian theory, and the "tonnetz" and such, so mosdef i want the "ornament and crime", dunno how to add it? doesn't come up in module search?
• should i just go all out with erica synths black series?
• very interested in highly technical and mathematical/musical concepts and modules that allow me to map highly geometric, sparse, conceptual compositions to sounds
• have a technical background and wanna make a deep dive into synthesis
• looking for suggestions for musicians, theorists, writers, performers, youtubers, etc
• i know my rack is totally a grab-bag and ridiculous as of now

could you folks please take a look and throw any suggestions my way

ps: also, this website is quite modular itself innit, its cool. especially the rack builder. so fun.

I had a good experience with @mexicane and @ismtenrom.

nice transaction with @batudal on his qmi2 vermona module. Thanks!

I purchased an E350 Morphing Terrarium from @clarinet and it all went super smooth. Very responsive and quick turnaround. Thanks!

is assisted off-rack by:

•Korg SQ-1
•MFB Microzwerg
•Standuino (Bastl) Microgranny v1
•Strymon El Capistan

and is in a current state of "merged from two smaller racks."

possible sites of change are:

•smaller/more robust logic section
•larger VCA (bottom row is cramped for good and bad reasons)
•something more satisfying than the PicoEG

I'm new to modular but I wanted to start getting into it. I'm looking to build a good ambient synth for softer, lighter textures (as opposed to darker, gnarly textures) and something that's based around Mutable's Clouds synth module. I could see myself using Cloud's sampling/granulation features frequently.

I decided to take NickT's example in this thread (Nano Rand, Make Noise Telharmonic, and Mutable Clouds) and use it as the basis of the synth. The video he included perfectly captures the sound I want. I also decided to add two Erica Pico Drum modules to add beats underneath, along with a Pico Trigger, two Pico DSPs, and a Pico Mixer. The signal path would be, with each being independent of the other:

Nano Rand -> Telharmonic -> Clouds -> DSP #1 -> Mixer
Trigger -> Both drums -> Stacked into DSP #2 -> Mixer

I wanted to verify that the signal paths are workable and correct. I don't fully understand how patching the synth part would work, so I left that section blank, but the drum parts seem to make sense to me. Any suggestions on good synth modules other than the Telharmonic would also be appreciated.

Had a wonderful transaction with @signalsforstarships. Purchased a BD9 from him and he was super friendly. I got it in the mail immediately! 10/10 would buy from again!

Hello all. Just want to write a positive shout out for @signalsforstarships. Bought an Ataraxic Translatron from him. He shipped immediately and it's in great shape.

This is what I actually own (or have on order and on its way) and usually mirrors the actual positioning of my modules. I update it as I acquire new gear.

Both mults have four sockets bussed to the bottom 9U to patch from the sequencer/trigger stages to the top 6U without running long patch leads.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I has excellent transactions with @zfrucht and @ Subjected. Very quick, smooth and the modules looked like spanking new!

yufo@thanks *signalsforstarships for the GMØ. great transaction. good stuff

THIS... is a mature name on a module;€

These are the modules in my first complete skiff, a Moog 104hp case - https://www.moogmusic.com/products/accessories/moog-eurorack-case

Next I'm planning on getting a Tip Top Mantis 2 x 104hp case, to add a second synth voice or two and some math & logic modules, and maybe some drum module(s).

Not sure if this is the place

User christophefur has listings up and is basically taking loans on modules and not selling them. I purchased a Rings from him and after the time he told me he'd ship, he had not and was not responding to my messages asking for an update. I noticed he changed the listing the day after I purchased from only accepting Venmo, to accepting Paypal and Venmo. He then told me a bunch of personal info he was going through and how he was going to refund me, but he doesn't have the money at the moment and that he didn't actually want to sell the modules, which means he spent my money and kept the goods I purchased.

He has a Braids for sale and I would use extreme caution if you're going to purchase. From what our exchange was he has no intention to sell, you will be loaning him money.

Sorry to hear that, hawkfuzz.
Christophefur, if you read this, you know what to do: refund the module or just ship it instantly. There are no excuses.

View "Good Traders on the Marketplace" as a single page
Even better: On a module sale page, next to [Contact seller], make a link to that single page.
(with mentions of the seller's name highlited?)
Possibly also list number of posts, number of submitted modules and other info pertaining to
reputation as a trade partner.

Favorite modular folks:
* flohr on modulargrid here
* dsquintz on modulargrid here
* kedromelon on modulargrid here

This is a pretty ideal configuration.

Options:
* Swap E350/Lo-Fi Junky for Braids + Ripples.
* Swap Teletype/Meadowphysics for Braids + Ripples.
* Swap Basimilus/SVVCF for Braids + Ripples.

14hp free at this moment.
Any suggestions..
Apart ears
What module for the trigger input of function...
Thankss

Just received a module from@Jbaptiste .

He sent it within the hour after receiving payment. Great job on the packing (original box inside bubble padded box). The module is flawless.

Any time again...highly recommended!

Hello, all. I am new here and am seeking some advice on building my first modular set up. My primary concern is processing external audio, not too interested in oscillation (have plenty of those). Kinda thinking of this as a glorified pedal board without all the inconvenience of having to carry around pedals. I would like to go for a portable set up for live noise performances. I'm considering the Power Lunch by Synth Rotek as my case (http://store.synthrotek.com/Power_Lunch). From there, I only know that I would like to have the Phonogene.

Do you guys have an advice on other modules that will allow me to manipulate external sounds into completely new ones? I need something that can process contact microphones, oscillators, guitars, vocal microphones -- you name it, I need this thing to destroy it.

Hey all, I'm Phil from the UK.
Even having 15U x 168hp, I won't lie to you, I don't really know what I'm doing. I could spend hours patching and come up with nothing. I suppose that's the nature of it though, I'm learning.....

How about a rating system, or a small comment section on the advertisment page where people can give comments on their experience with the seller.
This way you can decide if you trust the seller based on multiple opinions?
And you wont have too search the forum to find out about it.

Hi Marin

The heads and tails concept of probability is the main function of mutable instruments branches which is a small and inexpensive module.

I think this is a special community and if your choosing to trade, shit can happen.. If it does.. Own your shit and deal with it as a team to satisfy the desires of the parties involved BOTH to the best of the ability. I would bend over backwards if I seen another is being reasonable.. In the same respect, be reasonable. Talk it out. It's not that odd that both can have pleasing outcomes ;)

.HeyWigglerZ!..
So I have MI Braids, MN Maths, Intel. Mult, MI Ripples, MN Rosie and QuBit Nebulæ.. I wanted to know if anyone had/ has any patch ideas that you may have had or any ideas/ suggestions you could be having in relation to patch ideas I could try or ideas to get the mind flowing.. I appreciate a little conversation on the matter too!

....CheerZ!!

Hello,
it's been two years i'm on modulargrid and enjoy it. I made nice trades with various people but lately had a bad one. I won't name this person but since i paid him via paypal i have no response and still waiting my module (wich i assume will never arrive). How can i deal with it? Paypal won't refund me since it's not a commercial trade.
A feedback system would be a good thing to start with...

Thanks. A friend built it for me. I'd like to learn to solder and so forth, and hope to down the road, but only so many hours in a day.

Hey Marc. Cool rig. Did you build your Radio Music?

Thanks for the impulses in the reply. That was new to me and helpful, I tried a bit with noise now.
I actually think of adding a third 104 row (my Rack is actually a Moog Two Tier Case that can be expanded quite easily).
What do you mean by "heads or tails" - it does not seem to be a specific module name...?

In stock now!

I have an idea. I think that the links in the "Module Market" section to eBay and the Marketplace are really useful. Does it make sense to add Reverb.com to the mix? I've been finding some interesting used euro modules on their site.

Anyone knows where I can find one of these in Europe?

Great interaction with @darmklacht and @mexicane - very pleasant and superfast communication, great packaging. Highly recommended!
