Thoughts:
- Situate FX near mixer (ABC!?) for sends/feedback.
- CP3 near oscillators.
- RND next to Clouds, it has attenuation built in.
- Maths at top? Seem to adjust frequently and it gets buried below.
- In/Out and MST Mult to other side - talk to external noisemakers and BSP easier.

Finally, the case is full (the bottom row is to keep track of what's in my Happy Ending Kit).

Hey martin. Noise is a basic form of random and the mother32 has a noise output jack. Probability is another useful form of random( heads or tails) . Looks like you have filled the racks so at some later point when you expand you might consider something like ornaments and crime which is also useful for other functions

here is a revised version with more dynamic parts (lfo, vca, adsr, slew), math function

Hi Folks,

this is my currents Setup, together with an ARTURIA KeyStep, which I use for both playing the Lifeforms SV-1 and for Chord sequencing of an external ROLAND Boutique JX-03.

I have to say that so far I did not yet make use of all the capabilities of the Mother, the Hammer and the Atlantis.
However, I do miss a bit of Randomness in my Rig. Should I add something specific for that, or is it just a matter of time and understanding the capabilities of my current modules?

Thanks
Martin

i understand. no audio knowledge is an overstatement. will edit.
i do have experience fiddling with syhthesizers like ms20 and the chains in reason
im interested in experiencing hands on what is under the hub of "instruments" , hence my "lowlevel" reference

If you are completely new to sound synthesis, I would recommend starting with a used/low-cost synth or groovebox or even some basic synth software prior to jumping into modular. It's an expensive and complex place to start learning the basics. You won't have everything you need to make entire sounds (aka full "voices") unless you get a ready-made system. As a true beginner you'll get much more out of an all-in-one machine. A crawl->walk->run sort of thing.

If you are deadset on starting directly with modular, a Moog Mother-32 (or another semi-modular) may be something to look at. You'll outgrow it as a stand alone but you can use it to start to build your modular system.

Also, the manuals for most stand-alone synths assume the user has no prior knowledge. Most of the time they will have an introduction to sound synthesis. Even downloading a manual for a "virtual analogue" synth and reading the introduction will help. Most module manuals (IF they even have one) assume you know the basics already.

hell0 gridworld ,
first-timer here, some patching experience with ms20, reason, vvvv
looking to lern about (lowlevel)
- sound-synthesis (from drums to drones)
- gate compositions
- feedback possibilities (for both cv and audio)

interested in anything you would have to say
considering the goals,
- should i worry about more robust vco ?
- should i worry about needing multiples of one specific part ?
- anything i could add/replace/drop ?

thanks

That's correct, the trs panel is a separate purchase. This is because depending on your case, you may not need it. The 7u case has the trs jacks built in already. The 4u case does not.

I edited the MG entry to reflect the actual Intellijel description.

EDITED Mar 11th 2017, 16:09

The description here says it "comes with" the TRS jack module, while the Intellijel site says it "connects to" it. I assume the Intellijel site is correct and the expander module is required, but it's not quite clear to me.

@penrose_riots , fast and friendly transaction, really happy !!!! Great seller , will buy again !!!!!
Thanks you made my week end !!

yeah, when someone creates a new duplicate that is very obviously not new. i mark it as duplicate, provide a link to the proper module and sometimes insert a random weird picture. (hopefully they will laugh) and hopefully the other users that added it will move themselves to the correct one. (less administrative burden on MG)

Awesome module

Hi, I updated the description with the FDP link. Cheers.

Thanks to @tFunk for good sale of Optomix. Fast response, fast dispatch, well packed. Module in perfect condition as described. He also included screws with nylon washers. Recommended.

Re the "All" button: Yes, of course - thanks.

I second that :-)

• The Top Modules and Popular Modules lists were generated in realtime and needed 15sec to be called. They are cached now. Cache is refreshed every 2h.
• Modules can be correctly sorted alphabetic now in the marketplace list view.

For some reason I had totally missed the "Available in Marketplace" function in the regular module browser... Great, thanks.
There's always something I didn't know at MG... fascinating.

Re the "All" button: Yes, of course - thanks.

Sorting modules after Module Name doesn't seem to work properly - at least not when I'm trying to.

Thanks for reporting. I did a fix. Modules are ordered by their names now.

Some are sorted correctly, some not. Personally, I would prefer the option to sort primarily after Manufacturer, and secondarily after Model. =)

That is a bit complicated in the marketplace list.
But you can do that in the module browser! E.G.
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/modules/browser?SearchMarketplace=3&SearchShowothers=1&order=manuf&direction=asc

That link shows you all modules from the marketplace sold in Europe ordered by manufacturer. You can use the standard search elements to specify the search, e.g. show all 8HP VCAs sold in USA.

As a complement for the page buttons (1, 2, 3, etc) I would very much like a Show All button. This way I can use the web browser's search function to quickly find what I'm looking for.

Have to test if this would impact the server too much ...

3000 mA at +12 V, 1100 mA at -12 V and 300 mA at +5 V

Great purchase experience from @minorscience. Fast shipping and good packaging. Thanks for the Brain Seed!

if this had a attenuator/level/initial control where the Env out is, i think it would be really amazing, Env out is useful obviously, but wouldn't a more control over the VCA make this the ultimate 3hp package!

Great transactions with both @Orphologram and @kingcons. Both shipped quickly with good packaging and excellent communication!

Things I wish I could have or are remotely interested in. I live in 6U world otherwise.

DPO is lovely, can't recommend it enough --- a recent DPO drone of mine: Reverb is also very important, love my Erbe-Verb. The Harvestman stuff is really good for that kind of sound: Hertz Donut and Piston Honda as voices, Double Andore and Kermit to mix and modulate. Check out James Cigler's videos on the PH and DA on youtube.

Thanx for your answer guys.
That Erica Synth is really what i want in compact drone Synth.
Types of drone sounds I am after are: Slow deep throbbing bass, twisted industrial Atmospheres,
Dark, nasty, creepy etc.
So if you Got some more tips moduler, situps ore videos an so on. please share.

Hi,
thank you for this site, it's great.
The feature 'Show Racks of other users which share similar modules' in Command Center is interesting. However I think it selects and orders similar racks solely based on the number of the same modules as in the selected rack. So for a rack which includes a 2hp Osc we get this one as the most similar:
(61 x 2hp Osc, nothing else)
and that's just not very exciting :).
Perhaps one easy way to mitigate this would be to count only distinct shared modules. So the above rack would have a score of 1 and not 61.

Great interaction with @bj_gzp - he was an awesome seller - pleasant and fast communication, great packaging. Highly recommended.

Smooth transaction selling my Make Noise Optomix to @PhilWF.
Fast payment and nice guy to deal with.

Had great transactions recently with:

@Salamanda (sold Clouds)
@Bosco (bought Kermit)
@Kanou (bought Harmonic Oscillator)
@Jbaptiste (sold Double Andore)
@Distone (sold A118)
@Daniele (sold Multi-Envelope)

Hi Mt3
TrulyThanks for help.

Hi, I think you will get more responses at the https://www.muffwiggler.com/ forums.

Hi,
What modules you will put here¿
For modulating mungling envelope randomize clocking¿.
I dont have much space in my rack.
I want to put some external sounds and freeze them...drone concrete music and noise.
Totally new here.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Totally new here.
I need the quad attenuator here?
What cheap modules for moving this samplers you will choose¿
I have a waldorf filter out side... No reverbs no filters.
Thanks

So amazing！！！You give me a lot of inspiration，谢谢！

Errr ma gerrrrd this is so elite...

modulargrid description says
"1000ma at +12v, 500ma at -12v and 170ma at +5v"
whereas tiptop webiste http://www.tiptopaudio.com/zeusmicro.php states:
"(...) up to 2000mA at +12V, 500mA at -12V and 170mA at 5V"

so...? which is right?

nice!

What is the deal, is this still going ahead, has it happened already?

Really interested by this faceplate. Count me in.

For Parisian people, I'll be there:

Sunday afternoon.
I hope to see some of you there for a live demo!

Si, this is dead straight... 1 Midi unit (with glide so no need for a slew generator) it has loads of DV functions and 1 gate out... I've added a mulitple so you can spread your signals out & 1 ADSR. - The doepfer boxes are available from Thomann. This will give you loads more control and smoothness over your Werkstatt.

Also, Look at the Oscillator to the left. Not needed but if you do get any get this! Sounds like an ARP. They also do a DCO (Digital) one which will stay in tune better.

Very nice example from @NickT
I personally was amazed by erica synths fusion drone system, very power hungy, tube based:

Depends really what kind of "drone" you want, also like mentioned, cv control is essential(I think)...
