Another sacrifice for the dark lord of copy and paste. Of course you're right and Infinite Digits x Toadstool Tech it is.

I guess your old PAiA has banana jacks (I've seen people swap them for other types). You could buy something like this, or make one yourself:
https://www.low-gain.com/shop/p/utl1e
(If you have a ground banana jack in your 4700 system (or on its PSU) this should be connected with ground in the eurorack system.)

As I don't know much about PAiA systems, I can't say if the audio signal levels or control voltages will match.
It is usually not a big problem, but you need to know if the PAiA can't handle negative voltages, like bottom halves of LFO signals. This can be solved of course.
Also, eurorack uses the 1 V/octave standard (filters, VCOs).
For a comparison with you 4700, this is the Doepfer signal standard: https://doepfer.de/a100_man/a100t_e.htm#:~:text=Signals%20in%20the%20A%2D100
This standard does not cover all eurorack manufacturers/modules unfortunately. Mainly, there are differences in envelope voltage levels: +5, +8, +10 V. This may not matter too much, but it will decide to what extent you can open a filter or a VCA.

On request of the collaborators the manufacturer name was now changed to Infinite Digits x Toadstool Tech Ectocore.

That's a weird request. Are we sure they didn't want their name to be Infinite Digits x Toadstool Tech? Ectocore is just the name of the module. I think you should verify and fix that, it's weird to have the name of the design on the brand.

For all interested parties, I spoke with Zach (aka Infinite Digits) and he said Maneco Labs reached out and promised they would give him part of the sales from this. So, here's hoping that's a move towards a collaborative effort.

Check out Shikensa from ST Modular. I know you have the Pyramid, but those five (or 3 or 4) CV steps are so quick and easy to send somewhere.

Any one got any thoughts on this. The good thing is I have spent no money on modules this year, so far.

Thought about it and it would be available at https://19grid.net/ but there are no specific plans.

In his video he listed the modules he was using to get his sound: Qu-Bit's Bloom, Mutable's Peaks, Mutable's Rings clone, and Qu-Bit's Prism. ... So if any of you modular veterans have suggestions for modules that can produce similar effects as the afforementioned ones for a better price, I'm all ears.

Ok, I'm writing this from the perspective of trying to save you money instead of "hey look at this cool thing that will totally save your music":
-Qu-Bit Bloom: is just a semi-generative sequencer. Sure it has some fancy "fractal" morphing of sequences but you can get simmilar results using the Microfreak's sequencer and arpeggiator and the Spice and Dice parameters. In addition, your Pams can effectively function as a sequencer for secondary melodies and voices. I would still recommend getting a dedicated sequencer in the rack eventually but hold off on Bloom unless you're sure it's exactly what you need. Ditto on Squarp. I'd say it's too huge and power hungry for a rack this size, you don't have 8 voices to sequence and there are more efficient (smaller and chaper) MIDI to CV modules available if you decide to sequence externally.

-Peaks: can be many things including a drum, but at its core it's a dual envelope/lfo. You already have the Erica EG, the ADSR, the Doepfer DLFO and Pams for modulation. You don't need Peaks. It can do other things but unless you've identified those specific functions as necessary it's superfluous to your system (and even then there are other modules that can probably do drums etc. better than Peaks). That said, you have two ADSR envelopes which are more typically used with keyboards, Function Generators or (loopable) AD and ASR envelopes are more common in Euro and if you find yourself lacking space down the line I'd consider swapping one of those out for a more versatile envelope/modulation source (not gonna name modules because the goal isn't to make you buy more stuff).

-Mutable Rings: Plaits has the Karplus algo which covers one of the three modes of Rings. You microfreak also has both a Karplus and a Modal algorithm. One thing that's missing is using Rings as a resonator for external audio inputs but that's not necessarily what you need. Still, if you decide to go down that route, there are many clones of Rings available out there, but experiment more with the Peaks and Microfreak algos first.

-Prism is an interesting module but at the end of the day it's a filter, delay and bit-crusher rolled into one. You have the filter and delay covered in Wasp and Nostalgia. You might either invest in a smaller bitcrusher or another effect, or maybe trade the Nostalgia (unless you're attached to it) for a Prism. Of all the modules listed that would probably add the most to your system right now.

tl;dr: You don't really need any of the modules you listed.

In your intro you said:

My goal with this whole setup was and still is to create cinematic soundscapes with swelling waveforms, resonation, reverb, and basically create a droning enveloping sound that builds, waxes and wanes.

For that, I would say you need more VCAs (currently just one, though the Plaits has one built in, kinda). Don't think of VCAs just as "thing that makes sound go loud or quier", depending on which ones you use, they can also modulate CV, creating more complex modulations, be patched as crossfaders, waveshapers, automated attenuators for any kind of parameter etc. If you want your sound to move, swell, wax and wane, VCAs are your bread and butter.

The second thing here is reverb. You don't have one in your rack, nor is it on your list of modules above. Reverbs can easily smear and stuff and make it "cinematic" or glue a bunch of sounds together in a droning space.

Resonators you kinda have as your sound sources (Plaits, Microfreak), but you might look into them some more. Not sure about Nostalgia but many delays can also resonate at very fast speeds (which is the essence of the Karplus-Strong synthesis also found in Plaits and MF).

In conclusion, you don't really need more modules at this stage, although you're lacking a reverb (unless you're adding it externally) and more VCAs (and other utilities) would be beneficial to have. Work on your technique, experiment, take notes, study the music you want to make. Jameson Nathan Jones has a lot of composition-oriented videos on his youtube channel and works with modulars, Omri Cohen does modular ambient and also has a ton of visual tutorials, mostly in VCV rack, which is a good way to experiment and learn without necessarily buying more modules.

I'm not exactly an eurorack veteran (I've been at this for about two years) but happy to try and answer any more questions you might have.

Good luck!

Removing the BBD and the Sequencer, as you suggest, frees up 20 HP.

A few common ideas for 20 HP modules include, Maths, Doepfer Matrix Mixer A-138m, something spicy like Morphagene, Sealegs, etc. Not sure this would be best use of that space, but it's something to not overlook.

Breaking that 20 HP down into several modules will probably get you more mileage, but that'll be your decision....smaller module ideas that might add something include Pico DSP (erica), some sort of Euclidean Rhythm generator (2hp makes an okay one), noise and/or random voltage sources, and the various Doepfer switches/utilities.

You don't necessarily need to fill all 20 HP right away.....you could pick up, e.g., an Euclidean rhythm generator, the pico dsp, and see what you feel is missing after patching for a bit, or until it becomes obvious.

Hope this helps stimulate some ideas! Good luck!

Looking for suggestions about this rig. On the left, control source interfaces, as I use external controllers or a DAW to compose. 5-drum section for rhythm parts, a voice in the top of the rack and a second voice in the Mavis.

I am likely to remove the BBD and Sequencer modules, freeing up some space. I'd like to have possibly add one more drum voice and something that can add some random spice.

So ive been watching tutorials and reading forums like ModWiggler and r/modular, but i still have unanswered questions. So, let me begin by stating that I did get a pretty bad case of shiny new module syndrome and purchased modules without giving a ton of thought about what type of sound i wanted to create. I realize now, that was my first problem. My goal with this whole setup was and still is to create cinematic soundscapes with swelling waveforms, resonation, reverb, and basically create a droning enveloping sound that builds, waxes and wanes. Also, something dark and verging on industrial. Very ambient with little rhythm. I basically want to emulate a lot of the scores that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed. Now that could change in the future, but thats where i want to start. I should add that I am trying to control my modular synth with the Arturia Microfreak and am considering the Squarp Hermod as my midi interface as it has a lot of functionality built in. Now, knowing all of this and seeing what i already have invested in (in terms of modules), what modules would you suggest I keep, which ones are superfluous or otherwise could be sold/traded out, which ones could be useful to achieving my goal, and finally, which ones are vital to overall sound production? My link that im including is what i currently have (or have on the way in the mail) and I have a budget of about $500 USD more to invest in more modules that will help me attain the sound im searching for. I did recently watch a youtube video where a musician created almost exactly the sound I am looking to create. In his video he listed the modules he was using to get his sound: Qu-Bit's Bloom, Mutable's Peaks, Mutable's Rings clone, and Qu-Bit's Prism. After searching those specific modules on Reverb, they are a tad more than i want to spend. So if any of you modular veterans have suggestions for modules that can produce similar effects as the afforementioned ones for a better price, I'm all ears. I'm also open to any of you building patches using my rack as I am a buge visual learner and that type of input would greatly help me in understanding how sound is routed in a modular system in general. Thank you all in advance for your constructive criticism and helpful suggestions. Those of you that came just to poke fun or leave disparaging comments, well, I cant stop you, but I mean, youre only wasting your own time and energy.

Are you feeding the A-192-2 already quantized voltages?
Are the bad notes off by just a half step higher or lower?
If so, you'll need something like an A-183-2 offset to tweeze your incoming notes.
Read the technical notes here: https://gael.doepfer.eu/en/item/a156

Love this module...
Just can't figure out what happened. Suddenly it converts incoming CV messages to some other notes that are not in the sequence. Tried out different sequencers, still the same problem.
Then, I tried to reset the A-192-2, but it didn't work.

Any experience on this problem??
Thank you!!!

I want to buy an arcaico Mosè 6 channel mixer used on here. Does anyone have one they might be able to part with in the near future?

I want one in Good or better condition on Paypal with around $100 shipping at the most to California. Is the Mosè released yet? arcaico's homepage doesn't list it and it didn't turn up on Google or Reverb.com.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll try to turn it down next time

Maybe not bad – but the bass drum is way too loud!
On my sound system, it feels like all the other sounds are at just 10% volume.

Self patching one of the cv outputs into the root is something I'm doing a lot of at the moment because it adds a lot more complexity. I've not yet tried the same with the scale and MMS.

Hi! I am new here, and have questions, and since I am unable to post a new thread, I hope it's ok to ask here?

I have been using a Paia 4700 modular system since the 1980s. I have accumulated double the modules that I began with as some were gifts, and some I built myself in the past few years. I am in the beginning atages of putting together a Eurorack system, and want to be able to interface my 4700 with it. I will start with a Behringer 960 sequencer, 962 switch, and 911 ADRS modules. I'm hoping to integrate the 4720 Paia VCOs with the 911s, but might need a Behringer 961 trigger converter? I also have been succesfully using several Korg SQ-1 sequencers with the 4700 modular system. Anyone who can help me figure out how to interface a Paia 4700 with the Eurorack format? I'm not at all an electronics DIY geek. The only Paia style modules I have built are passive: mono reistance mixers and transposers. Thanks in advance!

Been putting more effort into this project lately. Something I would like to get off the ground and maybe gig with.

A phaser with “overdrive”.
Very simple kit, mostly surface mount pre-installed only took 1/2 hour or so to solder the pots and jacks on and finish the assembly. I did need to file the switch opening a but, it was tight.

Interesting unit. Doesn’t really start having until you’ve got feedback way up, but when it does it’s good sounding. Adding CV for input volume spices it up quite nicely A fun unit, would be a great first kit.

Could you tell me more about the possibilities?

What seems attractive to me is, to modulate "scale", "MMS" and "root"

With Clank Chaos, it can sometimes take a bit until you find a sequence you like.
But you can save it, recall it and apply "just a small percent of random" and it mutates with very useful results.
But you have only one (assignable) CV control, to modulate + 1 cv too start / stop looping + 1 cv to apply new random.

I got a big problem with how PedalGrid's homepage is set for my desktop resolution. Upon first load, it looks like this:

Thanks for reporting, should be fixed.

It seems like the Mutable Instruments Plaits page has disappeard, although the module is still listed in the Module Finder.

Looks good here?

-- modulargrid

It was like that for at least a couple of hours (the only module I discovered it on), but I guess it fixed itself?

This is a really really really great Sequencer.

Funnily enough, I'm in the opposite position. I like the GM as it's fairly simple to use but has some very interestimg possibilities. The scales are a bit limited but running them through a quantiser is easy enough.

Chaos looks like it needs a bit more work to get the desired results but the palette of options is more extensive.

MT2 is a very VERY nice module ! It got updated to 1.2. I did a in depth video :

Hi :D

Any thoughts or experience on NE Gamut Repetitor vs Clank Chaos - for melodic sequencing?

I have a Clank Chaos and Im tempted to get a Gamut for doing melodic sequences, but I as Im thinking, the Chaos just has it all?

What about the musicallity results of the algorhitms?

I think something like:

Chaos:
like a 6 Channel Turinng Maschine with:
-individual randomisation of each channel
-control of individual channels
-global randomisation
-a few save slots to recall sequences

Gamut:
-4 Channel Turing Maschine
-only global randomisation
-no further control of individual channels
-some controls more accesable on front like "up/down", "root", "spread"
-no save slots
