you can simply turn on/off the stereo fx on mim. Also if you only patch the L input it basically outputs stereo. Generally stereo eurorack audios are normalled to L input if you don't plug the R.
Also just saw this video thought you might find interesting. he talks about mimeophon and as well as some other fx'es.
Oh I didn't knew you were thinking to get nifty case. Tbh I don't have one but checking on the manual it says this;
Q. The output on the rear of the NiftyCASE is very high is this normal?
A. The rear output simply passes the level input from the “to-out” on the case. It doesn’t
attenuate the signal at all. If the level is too high you should consider adding a VCA,
mixer, or other changes to bring down the signal level prior to plugging into “to-out”
and
Q. Is the out balanced or unbalanced?
A. It’s unbalanced (just like us)
So looks like it doesn't normalise hot eurorack audio signals to line levels. Oh one tiny thing about modular if you're just stepping in. It's always a great idea to skim through the manuals before commiting to a module. I personally automatically skip modules if they have 100+ pages of manual.
For the mims; yea it does look odd but it's fantastic sounding module. There's a reason why it's all the way top on loopers, repeaters, reverb on modular grid ;) I'm planning to get rid of most of my modules lately but going to keep a few one. Mims was literally the first module that I've got for fx rack and going to keep that one again.
If the rack is always going to be hooked to ableton I'd suggest FH-2 instead Pam's. You'd really want to sync clock especally with sealegs. You can sync ableton to pam with https://busycircuits.com/products/alm-pg001 for sure, but you're still going to be bound to the tiny screen on pam while you have an infinite way to control things (ableton). Also less headache tbh, you just hook it up FH-2 with usb and there you go.
For the joystick I'd also suggest you to have a look at planar. It can be also used as a audio/cv mixer, gate trigger and record your expressions. although generally you either wanna use it cv controller or mixer. can't do both at the same time.
As talking about mixers, I'd also suggest to have a look at matrix mixers too. It's a great idea way to route and mix audio. generally they take up quite a space though. 4x mix very is good if you wanna keep things straightforward.
Lastly, you'd need some audio normalisation back into ableton. I wrap up all my audio into HPO if i need a line out. 2hp and just dead simple audio out.
Also mimeophon is a very good alternative to sealegs if you wanna get weird instead of lush. I'm suggesting this as you plan to route your audio from ableton. There are so many (even built in ones) great delays in ableton can sound good as sealegs. I'd say if you're routing to eurorack, I'd get someting weird like mims.
Apart from all these; to contratict myself, if you have a spesific idea what you need, you can always go for pedal fx's as well (which are going to cost wayyyyyy less than eurorack). Pretty much you can get a single pedal for each module you've put there. I'm talking about expensive ones like chase or hologram ones.
Good luck with the hunt :) Let us all update what you've decided.
hello, for some reason my notifications are muted for this thread. thank you very much for considering and actually implementing the idea! this is quite cool of you.
💯
pam pro has reverse power protection though. I dont know how many times I've mistakenly plugged in reverse and still keeps going on.
there are cable testers out there from addac and joralanpgue. or your multimeter. if it was brand new, get in touch with alm. both brand are well known to be super solid and stable brands.
AI Synthesis still has the phrase on some of their modules. I think its cool af.

oh yeah, absolutely that’s why I edited my previous post added the last sentence saying "having to turn off option at settings page instead of by account default"
Because there are people who actually runs a company just doing replacement panels. Removing their visibility would affect their business.
i mean it could even be a unicorn account feature.
Sorry I wasn't clear, I've meant having it turned off by default. Every time I'm modgrid, the very first thing is to uncheck that box :)
maybe an extra option on settings page?
Searched the forums but couldn't see anyone asking this - also didn't see in the settings either. Is there any way to turn off the blank panels by default?
