Here in Austria we have quite a few DIY / makerspaces. You can either rent workshop space with tools and machines (3D printers, woodworking tools, etc.), or get hands-on help with all kinds of practical repairs.
It might be worth checking whether something like this exists in your area and asking if they can help you out.
If you really can’t find anyone locally and you’re okay with sending the module to Austria, I’d be happy to resolder or replace the fader for you.
Hi everybody,
hope the new year will find you ready for beauty.
For the first time in my experience on MD, I'm having an issue with a seller or, better saying, with how he attributes responsability for a package that was sent and never received.
I usually don't use Paypal buyers' protection because of how I've seen exchanges happening until now, but this time I regret the decision.
Is there a set of "common practices" listed somewhere?
I would like to see if such a case is described somewhere before taking any action.
Many thanks!
Luca

Hi, one of the sliders (number 9) of my Stillson seems defunct: no light flashing, but also no reactions to change of tone. is there someone who can look into this module and fix it?
Greetings

you might want to mention where in the world you’re located 🙂
That makes it a lot easier for someone to know whether helping with a repair is realistically possible.
Just as a heads-up: slider replacement itself isn’t a big deal, and with a bit of luck it might not even need replacing at all — sometimes it’s just a cold solder joint.
That said, it does make sense to have a replacement fader ready beforehand, for example something like this:
https://www.digikey.at/de/products/detail/bourns-inc/PTL30-15R0-104B2/16356753
(Just as an example link — you’ll need to research the exact specs yourself.)
Hope you get it fixed!

Thanks again for listening, appreciated. Happy New Year.
About a year ago I asked for advice on shrinking my setup in order to move continents. I got some nice suggestions, and here is the rack I made. 
.
The video is a demo of what it does, actually using very little of it. Will post more over time.
Description of patch follows for those that are interested.
The main drums (kick, snare, hats) are from the PO-12 drum-machine, which comes into the rack via Bubblesound Booster Stage and gets multed to the main mix (SSF Vortices) and the FX send (2hp Mix). Bastle Thyme+ is the getting some of the drums (only) to make the dark synthy tones in the background, and later on with different settings the flangy sounds. This also comes back in via Booster Stage.
The metallic sounds are made by Noise Engineering BIA going through the Doepfer A-121-3 high pass. It gets trigger from the Arturia Beatstep Pro, and two AD envelopes from Pique as modulation (also triggered by BSP) attenuated by the Ph Modular 3xATT. All the other sounds are the Bastl Crust, which is gettng pitch and gate from BSP.
Pam is sending clock to BSP, Thyme, and PO-12. Vortices has some self-feedback patched in to fatten the sound.
And that's it. Several modules doing nothing (Disting, the switches, Skis) and Pam being dramatically under-exploited. Just goes to show you don't need a lot of gear to achieve a lot. Also using only about a third of the sequencer tracks that BSP can provide.

I'm in Linz but travel to Vienna semi-reguarly.
Thanks for pointing out the overabundance of mixers, thats because i never worked with stereo audio signals and since i would like to process and mix in the final output both the oscillators and the processed external audio at the same time i thought a certain amount of stereo mixer channels were required, but i inserted too many.
Okay, but let's say you have something awesome going on and you want to record this to make a track with it. Probably you're going to want to make the final sequencing and build-ups and touches in your DAW anyway, so why not first record your first voice and then your second voice and mix them together when you're making the track in your DAW. For jamming you can put all you sounds through a single stereo out and when it's time to get serious you record the voices separate. Then you only need one stereo pair out and you don't need to constantly use four inputs on your Audio Interface. Makes it also easier to jam with friends on a small mixer. It's up to you of course what you find important and how you spend your cash.
it has individual amplitude controls for every mono channel so maybe that could bring some light imbalance between the Right and Left signal of a stereo sound, does it makes sense to you? Thats another thing im not entirely sure of).
Don't worry about that, you can see it super accurately in your DAW and fix it there :). Maybe it even sounds better with imbalance. I have the Intellijel Triplatt myself and it's great for submixing and fixing/attenuating modulation stuff so I'm sure you will enjoy the Quadratt.
Still i don't understand how a mult could get a double L+R input into one output, i thought they are just replicating the signal inserted in the first patch point: are you saying they can mix 2 signals in a single output like in a mixer?
I just checked it on my eurorack because I confused myself a bit. If I have a 3 mult and I put in 2 oscillators and put the third socket in the Audio Interface then I hear both oscillators. The mult doesn't have real ins and outs. What you put in sockets comes out the other sockets. But here's the thing: in a melody and already enveloped situation I got the sound perfectly. But when I just take the full non-modulated oscillator sounds on the same octave in the mult there's this weird-but-cool noise-cancelation effect going on. So yeah, to be safe submix on the Quadratt and I think most of what you said will be fixed in the module when it outputs both channels to Left (mono). But you can definitely use the mult to put two modulation sources in and use them together at one destination and in a pinch the mult will also work as a equal gain mixer. I have a small eurorack and I like the noisy parts so for me I don't worry and it's 'sound design'.
Hi Stefvan, i confirm im planning to use this system with a DAW as an external audio and MIDI source and with a MIDI keyboard as an alternative MIDI source for a more hands on approach.
Thanks for pointing out the overabundance of mixers, thats because i never worked with stereo audio signals and since i would like to process and mix in the final output both the oscillators and the processed external audio at the same time i thought a certain amount of stereo mixer channels were required, but i inserted too many.
I think im still gonna keep a pair of stereo mixer channels since the quadratt (intelijel 1U quad mixer and attenuverter) doesn't look like the best module for mixing stereo signals ( it has individual amplitude controls for every mono channel so maybe that could bring some light imbalance between the Right and Left signal of a stereo sound, does it makes sense to you? Thats another thing im not entirely sure of).
About the mono/stereo compatibility between modules: thanks for explaining it to me, so if i want to use a mono module i have to exit from the previous module with a mono signal!
Still i don't understand how a mult could get a double L+R input into one output, i thought they are just replicating the signal inserted in the first patch point: are you saying they can mix 2 signals in a single output like in a mixer?
I thank you again for your thoughtful reply and advices, sorry for asking even more beginner questions as a response!
Hi, I will try to answer your question as well as give some advice.
mono/stereo issue: most modules that have stereo outputs will go into mono if you only use one exit. Often the left output. Check the manuals how that works for the individual modules. So you can likely patch Monsoon Left into Grainity. and have all of the sound that was coming from the left and right input. Regardless of how you do it, after the mono Grainity the information will be mono. Running stereo into mono will always result in a mono (=both speakers the same) sound. The cable that you show has a stereo end, your mono modules will probably get no sound from that. I accidently bought some stereo big jack cables in the past and it often causes problems with Moog gear, with my bass guitar, with my effects etc. I'm sure it will be the same with 35 mm jacks.
I see you have three mults. I think you can probably suffice with two and I would also spread them through the system instead of keeping them in a corner for maximum effectiveness. The mults could get your double outputs into one input if the left mono implementation mentioned above is not in the module.
If you want a versatile and cheap LFO, the Eowave Zone B.F. Black Edition is now on Modular Grid for 46 €. That's half what I paid secondhand and frankly a great deal. Run a LFO at audio rate speed in any oscillator or VCA and you'll get interesting timbres. Please note that I'm not the seller and not responsible for the sell.
You have quite a bit of mixing modules at the end there. Mixers are sometimes optional. There is no problem going straight out from a VCA into your DAW/Audio interface if you keep the levels alright. Turning on 'pad' on your audio interface will keep the signal from overdriving. So maybe you can take one of those mixers out. Keep in mind that a Quad VCA is often also already a mixer, there is no rule on what the spot is where you take sounds in and out of your eurorack system. More VCAs is probably better than more mixers.
If you're planning on using the eurorack with the DAW always, then those two multi-effects modules might be a bit unnecessary and boring. You can apply simple end-of-chain effects in the DAW. I think it would be more fun to focus on eurorack effects with lots of modulation options, that would take advantage of the eurorack 'way of working' better.
Good luck!
Hi everyone,
I’m currently planning a Eurorack system in an Intellijel 7U Performance Case and would like to sanity-check my planned 1U I/O section before committing.
Planned Intellijel 1U modules:
* 1U Aux Mix
* 1U Stereo I/O
* 1U MIDI
* 1U Pedal I/O
My intended setup / use case:
* MIDI keyboard → Modular
* Electric guitar → Modular
* Ableton Live (recording and possibly clock)
* Allen & Heath Xone 96 as the external mixer
What I would like to do:
* Feed the entire Eurorack system as its own stereo channel into the Xone 96
* Use the Eurorack as an FX processor via send/return for two Xone channels (e.g. delay / FX inside the rack)
* Integrate guitar and MIDI keyboard cleanly into the system
* Record the mix into Ableton Live
My current assumption is:
* Stereo I/O for modular ↔ line level (Xone / audio interface)
* Aux Mix for internal mixing and FX send/return (Xone)
* Pedal I/O for guitar (instrument level handling)
* 1U MIDI for midi-keyboard and Ableton
My question:
Is this combination sufficient to run the rack as a stereo channel on the Xone 96 and simultaneously use the Eurorack as a send/return FX path between the Xone and the rack? Or am I missing a bottleneck ?
Thanks a lot for any feedback!
Best regards,
David
Hi Turtlelegs, thank you for responding!
I already played with some doepfer modules and thats a really great practice for beginners, but in very short time i got hooked on deep digital modules, thats why i added some to the system even if they are not the best choice for someone who is just starting, but i totally get your advice :D
I also understand why visual representation is very important, Thats why i chose the new ELFO as the main modulation source, I know its very far from being a basic module, but i think it gives unparalleled visual representation and responsiveness with the big touch screen (also one FX module has an oscilloscope and spectral analyzer section so i think i will have enough visual clues since i accounted for that).
About effects, i chose 2 multi FX modules (MFX from busy circuits and FX AID XL from happy nerding) because i usually produce music in a DAW so i like to have a wide range of choice when planning an FX chain, but i totally understand your take on modules that just do one thing, i experienced they can be way more interesting and nuanced than multi function modules!
Thats why i tried to reach a balance between these 2 kinds of effect modules by also selecting Monsoon (a Clouds clone), the XAOC Pitch Shifter, the Doepfer phase shifter and PITCH + BLUR from 2 HP since i really love their sound.
I've selected both kind of modules to get the best of both worlds, does it makes sense to you?
I already know it will take some time to get where i want in modular and that will cost a lot, but thanks for pointing it out! I still have to read every module's manual but i get thats a mandatory step for understanding what is happening to signal and how to properly operate your modules.
About the mono/stereo issue: is it possible to NOT use a mixer for that?
Because there are several modules on the system with separated L and R audio outputs and i would like to patch them into single L+R inputs seamlessly and using a mixer just for that could be inconvenient (For example: Clouds' Outputs are divided in L + R stereo, and i would like to continue the patch on the Grainity filter which has a single input patch point without using an extra module to merge the L and R signal in one single jack cable, is it doable simply by using this kind of patch cables?)
Somebody posted an advert in a copy of the Squarp Rample module: https://modulargrid.net/e/squarp-instruments-rample--
Can somebody remove this?
Happy patching everyone!
this looks similar to the first racks i tried to build on modular grid!
i'm not sure what all of the modules are from the picture but I will give some general advice.
to start pick one effect module to process your external audio. put your audio into it and wiggle the knobs. listen to what happens and what you like. now look at the modulation inputs on the module. which of these inputs can do what you did with your fingers with control voltage?
modulation: start simply and go with doepfer. start with basic lfos and envelopes. listen to what these do to your sound. then add a mixer. mix your modulation and then listen to what it does to your sound. mordax data is very helpful for understanding what is going on but if you spend time listening it isn't completely necessary.
it will take a while for you to understand what it is you want from modular. I'm about two years into it, have definitely wasted a fair emount of money, and I'm now building a serge system. definitely spend time reading the manual before you buy something. it is boring but you will understand what the module does which is always helpful. youtube videos are good but remember more often than not another 5 or so modules are being used to create what you hear. they are not often a good representation of how the module you buy will sound when you're just starting.
it might be worth planning one effects chain and considering what it will do to your sound. if i were you i w0uld go for:
intellejel in/out, a filter, a reverb. after that you can add (modulation as mentioned above then) a delay. try delay into reverb. reverb into delay. move the filter to the end of the chain. etc etc.
I prefer effects modules that do one or two things well. you can browse by function here on modular grid so search for a reverb and sort by popular. there are good modules that aren't super popular but the popular ones are popular for a good reason.
as for the mono/stereo question. as far as i know most stereo modules will duplicate a mono input to both channels. if you want a stereo into mono i would put my stereo inputs into a mixer and take a mono mix out.
Hi!
I'm trying to build my first eurorack system focused on timbre exploration, sound design and external audio manipulation.
I've been usin friends' systems for a while so i got to know the basics of the modular world, but there's still a lot of stuff i have to grasp and learn so i was asking for feedbacks on this one.
Am i doing any errors? There's anything important or useful for this kind of system that im missing?
(for example: there are some stereo modules but i dont know for sure if i can patch the signal seamlessly between mono and stereo modules using "stereo to double mono" patch cables)
Any reply is much appreciated, thanks for your time!
You're welcome, it's a fine unit! I'll take a look at the mods!
--ck
Thanks for the review! Just saw this now. Maybe you have noticed we have published some modification suggestions for the use of Ilse in an Eurorack context.
https://discourse.chair.audio/t/ilse-build-instructions-for-revision-4/151
Both of you guys have helped me immensely. I will start with the most essential few units and figure out how to integrate into my existing DAW + Behringer Model D + CAT stuff before plunging any deeper. I think it is a really good point that more stuff could just mean more overhwhelm as a newbie. Will also do research on all the VCV equivalents so that I can play around with that in software form.
I really appreciate ya'll both taking the time. See you around the forum!

Hi there !
As you discuss the Hermod, I wanted to jump in to say that it can do a few more things on top of midi to cv conversion ;)
IMO, it's a beast that can do a lot in a rack, and when I started with a smaller setup, it proved really useful as:
- lfo
- step modulation sequencer/recorder
- euclidian sequences
- random sequences
Biggest downside for me is the limited CV inputs, but I learned to live with it - the modmatrix helps with that. I also read a lot of complaints about the fact that entering notes with the small screen and the single encoder can be a hassle but if you connect any type of midi keyboard to it, it's a breeze (also works with Push sending note info to Hermod through Ableton, if you have that).
And indeed, as you already noted, because the Hermod+ came out, a lot of people (including me, hehe) are selling their Hermod v1 for relatively cheap, making it particularly good value for the money at the moment.
For your other questions, because I 100% agree with Larsech that modular is what you make of it and only you can decide what makes it interesting, I would be tempted to ask question n°1 back at you :-) Does it look useful/fun/playable enough to you ? Marbles if fantastic IMO, but it didn't make my rack because I prefer going about other ways, the question here is will you get what you want from it ? I'd suggest playing with it in VCV and decide for yourself, I think all the Mutable modules are all in the VCV free library (Marbles is Random Sampler by Audible Instruments for example), and playing inside VCV can teach you a lot about what feels fun to you in terms of patching, all for free.
As for your buying sequence, Plaits + Maths + Quad VCA is the barebones version, it will make sound and give you space to explore for a while. Then you can add Hermod if you want to have immediate midi connectivity and loads of other tools and Polaris if you'd like a filter in the rack (you can always use a VST one after your modular when you start if funds are really limited, I guess). I mention the 3 modules version with Plaits + Maths + Quad VCA (or even with Polaris before Hermod) because I think it can also be an interesting creative challenge to learn the modules and have fun while also spending less, I mean Maths is highly praised for good reasons and so is Plaits... My guess is that by the time you have your first 5 modules and have played with them, you'll probably have a good idea of what feels right next...
One last piece of advice, if I may, it's one I hope you've already seen elsewhere but it's very valuable so here it goes again: go slow, keep doing loads of research and learn the modules you already in depth before deciding to buy more. It will save you hard earned money, and make you a better musician with your instrument in my humble opinion. If you think about it, not being able to afford a full rack from the start may be a blessing in disguise ;-)
Hope this helped !

Feature request: Rack grouping, to edit/view groups of racks as a complete system on a single page (and ideally be able to edit the order/layout in which the racks are shown). This would be helpful for planning out multi-rack studios.
-- Technomancy
Came here to also request this- I agree that having some higher level grouping concept like a "system" which has multiple racks and a shared module pool would be great. I also would request the same rack be able to be part of multiple systems, like if you have different configurations or groupings of racks/hardware based on your use case, like a live system vs. studio system, etc.
Larsech and Forum,
Thanks for the response! The duplicate Hermods were a mistake (I removed the Hermod+ because the original is quite a bit less expensive). I was originally going to put a Mutant Brain midi i/o module in the rack to get a midi signal in, but the price difference between that and a used Hermod seemed small enough that I thought I could get Midi In plus some Midi effects with the Hermod (though I can do everything I read about for midi effects in DAW too). I thought that since it accepts CV in also that I could use it for some kind of sequencing or weirness that I do not yet understand.
Also, you asked about an audio interface...I have an apollo twin that accepts line level, plus a guitar input. I hoped that if I reduce input gain on the apollo, I could probably get by with a signal from the rig without a dedicated output module (though I don't even know what part of the current rig would output into the apollo, frankly.
I have taken your feedback about randomness and an extra oscillator, and made two additions: Marbles (randomness with a gentler learning curve) and Dixie 2+ (well-reviewed analog oscillator).
Here is a link to the updated plan: https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_3025046.jpg
Questions:
1) Does this look about right in terms of introducing more randomness and oscillator source?
2) Because I can't afford all of this at once, could you suggest a sequence in which to buy so that I can learn as I grow the system? I was thinking Mantis case plus used modules going in order pretty much from left to right, but that is not a very scientific sequencing of module procurement...
Again, thanks for making the time to help a stranger out. Very much appreciated.

I've been chatting with ChatGPT about this rack and just wanted to save a current "thought":
"To go from “very close” to “something special”:
Stop thinking in terms of modules
Start thinking in terms of roles
Let Collide 4 decide when things happen
Let MISO decide how things move
Let øchd decide how things breathe
You’ve built a rack that can evolve, respond, and surprise you — without being chaotic or unfocused."
is there anybody who sells his modul ?
contact me if you know other CS80 Modules, exept the Deckards Dream Bullshit.
Hi,
welcome! I'll start by asking: are the two hermods a mistake, or were you planning to put both in your rack?
Secondly: do you plan to use eurorack on its own, or in conjunction with your other gear? If so, I think hermod is unnecessary if you plan to use it as a simple midi to cv converter. It is an extremely powerful sequencer, but it's overkill if you only plan to use it for conversion for sequences coming from live/other external devices.
Lastly: do you also have an outboard mixer, or other gear of some sort that you can connect your modular to and bring it into your daw (that also accepts modular level)? If not, I think an output module is also needed.
What you have shown here is absolutely enough to begin your journey. What is and is not interesting is extremely subjective, especially in modular land. Personally, I would add another simple basic analog oscillator, and some more hands on modulation/random. A turing machine and/or the simplest step sequencer you can find. For me, especially in modular land, interesting is very often closely related to unexpected. That's when modular is not a collection of modules, but becomes an instrument in the more traditional sense of the term: something that you have a conversation with, and it has to be able to talk back and not just execute instructions.
Hello Forum,
A humble request for advice with some context:
I have a home studio with midi keyboard, Native Instruments Maschine, and a bunch of guitars. I also bought a couple of behringer synths to try and figure out why people prefer physical synth hardware to the DAW life. (It turns out they are both excellent approaches for me).
As a hobbyist, I really enjoy the speed of being able to experiment with software synths in my music and now use my midi keyboard to play analog synths. Now for Eurorack...I would like to buy secondhand gear to augment what I can do with Maschine, Kontakt, Logic, and (a very little so far) ableton. I have done a ton of research and am now asking for feedback...**If I want to augment native instruments software suite and record into my computer, is the following sufficient to generate musical, interesting stuff?
Thanks all for any insights you can provide.
P.
Any resellers in EU?
I want this badly, but taxes from UK are a barrier to me.

oooooo the ADDAC604 would be perfect for all the stereo stuffs!
howdy! As it is, the main things I'd say are 1) the 921A doesn't really do much without the 921B oscillators it's meant to drive. You could use it as a controller for the other oscillators I suppose, but it feels a little unnecessary in this setup. 2) I'd put the Surges next to the 2600 oscillator. Since the other oscillator already has a vcf and vca it feels most natural to send the 2600 to Surges. 3) The 110 oscillator has that "Initial Gain" knob, but the 2600 oscillator doesn't have its own volume knob. It can be controlled by the mixer or the input gain on Surges but will send a continuous tone on its own. That 3rd point leads me to my main recommendation for you: you could really use some form of envelope. The Make Noise Maths (or Behringer Abacus to stay on brand) is a great module for this as well as learning about modular workflow in general. A basic patch as is without envelopes would be 2600 out (waveform of your choice) into Surges input, Surges output to the Behringer mixer chanel 1. 110 vca out to mixer chanel 2. 182 cv1 out to 2600 kbd cv in, gate 1 out to Surges level in and/or freq in. 182 cv2 out to 110 vco mod in with the attenuator all the way up, 182 gate out to 110 vca and/or vcf mod in. mixer out to that audio out module. A bit limited on shaping the sounds without envelopes and lfos, but can give you a good start! Happy patching!
hi guys and happy xmass
ive been banging my head against a brick wall ....so ive done the obvious solution and have included all modules i have with the same case and psu
so can anyone give me a idea what to do such as placements of the modules,patch cables and am i right in thinking all volume on each module ( were applicable ) should be set to "0"
Hi, all,
I've been expanding the NiftyCase setup shown here: 
The new one is ALA 7u 84hp, intended for both coffeehouse gigs and home compositions, some of which will have its audio chopped up and used along softsynths in Logic.
I don't have all these modules purchased yet, but working toward it and open to feedback: 
Thanks!
Sorry to hear that! It sounds like you're running into a couple issues: 1) no sound comes out of your mixer 2) the octal vca signal is noisy. For the octal vca, it's possible it just operates with a little more noise bleed than the minibrute vca. Is it the same amount of noise in different channels? For the behringer mixer, have you tried running the minibrute oscillator or another sound source into the mixer?
i want this ?
Das anybody have this module to make a zoom meeting ?
@faceeasyg
It has been a really nice experience to buy from Gabor.
Excellent service, attention to details and no fuss.
Strongly recommended :)
Thanks you so much for the sweet deal on the Sample Drum.
Hi friends,
I hope to be in the right forum : I would like to buy (new or used in perfect cond) a Triglav Modular Clockwork Card 208–5 for the Buchla 208. Triglav site and thread do not answer... will you have one to sell to me ?
Many thanks and all the best for the new year !
Something like 2FA will come but it has to be done in a way that won't annoy anyone. For most people MG is just a database to dragdrop modules around, they won't like to give away their mobile phone numbers or fumble around with 3rd party authenticator apps.
I totally get that, a user friendly platform is very important. Better password requirements unfortunately have been proven to often not be effective, because complexity results in users either forgetting their password or recycling their password frequently.
My take would be to require 2FA only for users who intend to sell on MG. This is a common requirement for any modern marketplace platform and I don't think it would be out of place for MG to also enforce this.
However the only two things that really allowed for that to happen were 1; bad account security by the user and 2; bad account security practises by MG.
We allowed weak passwords, that was the problem. That isn't the case anymore. Also login, password forget, etc are now way better protected against bot attacks.
It is beyond me why we do not yet have 2FA implemented on MG. A marketplace with this many users really needs more security features to keep their users' accounts safe,

Hey everyone,
Together with my buddy Calci Trax (Greg), we treated ourselves to a small Tekno live set.
He’s playing on the Perkons HD-01, while I’m running my industrial techno modular rack.
The kick is, of course, handled by the Basmilus, paired with the Manis and Kraken for drums, plus an MCO mk2 for extra noise textures and percussive elements.
The Perkons HD-01 is used for both drones and drums.
Thanks a lot for the reposts, views, and subscriptions — big love to the community ❤️
a bit more detail. i tried to send an envelope from pamelas new workout to the cv in of the octal vca, so that the audio from plaits would go to my mixer module(behringer cp3a-m), but i got no sound when i did.
well shit. i got some good modules today but my doepfer octal vca cant get my plaits clone to my mixer module when it gets an input from pams, the mixer just doesnt send anything out, and when i send it in from the vca theres lots of noise. it sounds fine when it goes through the minibrute vca though. what's going on? am i doing something wrong with my vca?
I personally do not sell anything without being 100% in control of what happens to the money I receive when selling modules, or anything online. There have been far too many instances, not just on MG, but worldwide, of people abusing the buyers protection system. There is a reason why sellers on Reverb only sell items "as is". If they don't, they risk having the money they received refunded to the buyer, and they will never ever see the item they sent them back.
Who in their right mind would agree on selling something to a stranger with the condition that if the person you sold it to can simply revert the transaction with very little effort, WITHIN 180 DAYS? That makes no sense to me.
I know we have recently had a few cases of a user having their account hacked and buyers getting scammed out of their money. However the only two things that really allowed for that to happen were 1; bad account security by the user and 2; bad account security practises by MG.
It is beyond me why we do not yet have 2FA implemented on MG. A marketplace with this many users really needs more security features to keep their users' accounts safe, because it is common knowledge that the majority of people have a very poor sense of what makes for good account security.
That depends on if you see the Morgasmatron as just for filtering a VCO vs other things in your rack (eg. Multigrain). Hard to give specifics because usage is so subjective -- I'm not sure what you want this thing to sound like. If I were to swap the Dixie out with anything, for example, I'd swap it for a Cold Mac to add complexity/weridness to my CV, but maybe you want something more straightforward. I think the exercise for you at this point is to run through some imagined patches thinking about how you want the CV to interact with your modules and work backwards from there. Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion around here, but ChatGPT can actually be really helpful for this.
