Hey,
thanks for the reply! Several of the modules have in-built attenuators or input vca's, such as the bionic lester. In addition, the optomix, multi delay processor and also the CV processor can serve as mixers, the latter also as a VCA. But you are right, sometimes i could use for some attenuverters or offset modules and use them together with a multiple to build my own macro-controller. But I don't mind maxxing out the capabilities of feature-packed modules, so far I always found ways around that.
The instruo module is the tagh, which is a random, sample and hold, noise generator.
this is my current 180 HP setup (barring tagh and the teia shifter for which I currently have the Kamieniec). Don't get me wrong, I have tons of fun exploring the system. I use it to produce backbones of tracks, such as basslines, lead patterns or sometimes pulsating drones with the multi delay; or generally any weird elements that might be missing from my productions.
I am just wondering whether you spot any redundant elements, if you would replace one module or set of modules with something more versatile that I am not familiar with, and above all, what you would patch up first when sitting in front of the system. I would love more people come over and take a spin with the rack, but unfortunately, I don't have many eurorack people around.
What I tend to do a lot lately is to clock pamela's with some triggers from the rack (EOR, EOD of the Double andore, for instance, or with a square wave with a small pulsewith at varying frequency from the kermit) and in a sense desync it from a general master clock, or let the eurorack system determine the clock of the overall production. That way, I feel like I can achieve more organic results and grooves. Sometimes, I send the modular sounds into the analog heat fx or the octatrack if I feel they are missing something, because I don't want to go bigger with eurorack necessarily (so please be modest with your suggestions, haha). Another thing to share is that one can and should use kermit/zadar as support oscillators, they provide some interesting results. The mutant brain might look like overkill, but I use it to send triggers or CV to the Pulsar 23. I also havean outboard mixing desk, so I don't need much of that in the rack.
Just one more thing, for those who have a make noise control - would you recommend it for a more exploratory approach to techno production?
I hope this is interesting to somebody. Anyways, thanks for engaging and have a good week!
hey, I don't know if you are still looking for input on this, but I am using Pamelas in conjunction with a Pulsar and think its absolutely brilliant. It can send out a huge variety of random triggers, gates, sequences, envelopes, lfo's. I am sequencing the pulsar from an octatrack which I run through the mutant brain to also sequence two voices in the rack.
I don't use Pamelas that much for jamming but during production this has proven a mighty addition. Mainly due to HP efficiency, as there's not really anything Pamela does in terms of uniqueness. It also saves a lot of crocodile clips in order to do some modulation straight from pam's. I was also thinking of buying the expanders to send a clock from pams to pulsar without using a midi-splitter, but maybe much of that setup is just unneccesary.
