hey I just duplicated the end of sept rack and now I'm able to get a screenshot of that. weird.. perhaps there was something stuck in relation to the cache for the original one. no idea.. anyway, at least I know what to do if I hit this little bump again. thanks for your help.

no the others are same size just earlier configurations. didn't realize I set them to private. can un-privite if it would help.

just tried the command center. weirdly when I go there I see the end of sept 16 rack but when I zoom in it shows me an older rack. the update screenshot preview (loupe icon?) button on this page doesn't seem to provide a screenshot. it refreshes the page and shows me the correct rack in small format. when I press the "+" icon to zoom in it changes back to an older rack.

Mhh, I can only check your end of sept 16 rack, because the others are private and that looks fine for me.
It has a lot of modules so I am not quite sure ;)
Are the private ones even larger? Does the screenshot feature works for you at small racks?

does the screenshot default to a particular order of saved racks perhaps?

If you create a new one the older will be overwritten.
If you still see the older one that typically is cache issue. Maybe a proxy server?

You can try to create a screenshot from the Command Center, the loupe icon does this.

cv_looper from Nexus Instruments, maybe?

As long as you want to transpose outside the module, I guess... But loop points - I don't think so.

Bishop's Miscellany got loop points somehow, but I don't know if it quantizes by nature - also 2 channels only, and different concept:

thanks again. I tried what you said and on a different browser on a different computer too with the same results. I wonder if it's something to do with my naming scheme perhaps? I dunno.. does the screenshot default to a particular order of saved racks perhaps? I'm convinced it's me and not you. : )

Didn't end up going for the Polaris?

ER-101 by orthogonal devices but only if you are rich enough!!!

I just press the screenshot button under the view menu.

I see. You click the screenshot button and then you see a jpg of an older configuration of the rack.
I am pretty sure that is a cache issue.

Press shift + reload after you clicked the screenshot button. Do it when you see the old image.
I will look for a more stable implementation...

hey thanks for helping out.

I just press the screenshot button under the view menu.

tried what you recommended but unfortunately no joy. still screenshots a different/older rack configuration to the one I have up.

hmm..

Thanks @WALKER_ for great communication and careful packaging of the module. Would deal again!

How do you do the snapshots? Can you try to clear browser cache:
hold shift and reload page.

All you need now is the west coast random source

I know I'm missing something obvious but can someone tell me why when I go to take a snapshot of my rack it will only snapshot a different rack I made before and not the one I'm working on?

your help would be much appreciated.

Ah. Always a bummer when that happens. Would have been nice to have one. Thanks, Joe.

I see this is a DIY. Any details on construction plans?

We built these at the Moogfest 2016 Engineering Workshop. Steve from Moog told me they have no plans to offer it as a retail module. We all got silver panels, but there were a few with black panels built into the installation art at Moogfest too.

-- CelleGuy

Hey welcome... but you copied and pasted my exact words !

Hi...i am a new user here. I want to know why 6 outputs instead of 1 only ? Probably all outs are normalled to the 1st one, letting the user to can use each individual output in order to tune pads individually and/or to drive 6 different sound generators? Moreover, how many pages the 12 pads fill?

You are welcome!
1 pad recalls 1 page, and per page there are 6 voltage values, each for 1 output.
so you can play pitches on 6 oscillators at the same time.

...I'll keep learning and ... then make a more informed decision on the next modules.
-- Azarius

You are a very reasonable modulist. Or at least more reasonable than I am. I own more modules than rack space.

Fair enough. I'll keep learning and experimenting on what I currently have and then make a more informed decision on the next modules.

Put a blank. If you cannot think of it you do not need it.

Any opinions and advice on what would be the best modules to compliment my current setup? I'm fairly new to the modular world and started with the SV-1 and the KB-1 and really love em! Very versatile and functional. So to complete the rack I was thinking possibly the LxD or a 4ms RCD? The SV-1 already has S&H and Noise outs but maybe a dedicated random like the nano-rand? The SV-1 also has 2 1x2 mults but could probably always use more. Or maybe a Dixie for another sound source/LFO? So many options... so little HP!

(*edited rack to remove the Intelligel Audio Interface II... I thought I was getting some ground hum noise but apparently it was a ground loop from the Beatstep Pro... I used the included ground loop cable and it solved the problem so I don't think I really need this interface right now.)

I recommend @mnpzn !

Thank you for the quick reply, you clearly answered but I still can't get completely (yeah I look slightly dumb :-). I even don't get what a “track” can be in this situation...(a channel?) By the way, let me try to summarize what I (probably) understood.

I see that each pad covers at least 2 functions: to recall a page inside a pre-selected bank, to select a step (whose pitch has to be manually set via knob) within the page. Since there are 12 pads, and the outs are just 6, I have to deduce that each of the 6 outputs deliver alternatively both 6 top and 6 bottom row pads (as well as each knob controls the pitch of both top and bottom row pads, correspondingly).
If this is right, the presence of 6 outputs still confuses me. Am I right to consider this controller intended to “play” monophonic modules? If yes, the voltage values (pitch infos) will never be put out at the same time. Thus, what are the applications for the 6 outs? Are they normalled to the 1st?

Hello there, I can't understand some functionalities. For instance, why 6 outputs instead of 1 only ? Probably all outs are normalled to the 1st one, letting the user to can use each individual output in order to tune pads individually and/or to drive 6 different sound generators? Moreover, how many pages the 12 pads fill? 2 pages, right?
freemod

there are 6 tracks so 6 outputs,
each combination of bank button would recall a "bank" of 12 "pages",
each pad would call a "page" which contains 6 voltage values, one for each output.
so there are 84 pages in total.

Bought a MI Clouds module from @A.S. and a 4ms VCA Matrix from @restlessboy. Good people to trade with.

While I liked the new faceplate I have reverted it to an earlier state because the module is already assigned to 60+ racks.
And those started to look strange.
I have flagged it as a duplicate.

Hi everyone,

Would like opinion of the community on my futur modular.

Basically the idea of the rack is to have enough option to create fat nasty dark and deep textures, bass and leads.
I will record sounds from the rack directly into ableton live from there i will edit my sample and trigg them in a sampler korg electribe 2 during show with my band.

Cheers

Christian

@pmarchitect:
This looks very well laid out and complete enough to have lots of fun.
My preference would be to add an old school filter and perhaps one of those mini-sequencers. Not to sequence pitches but modulations.

How did you upload the image of your rack, i would like to do the same but can't find the button or right way to do it on my interface ?
-- newbryde

No need to upload. If you comment on your own rack, it will be automatically embedded.
You can always just paste the URL to your Rack in the comment field.

e.g.
My Rack: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/rackxs/view/96349

Hi all,

Any tips on this setup? Do I have too much LFO or VCA? Anything missing?

Thanks,
Paul

The virtual modular doesn't work on the newest version of OSX unfortunately.

So I really would love the idea that least for unicorn members could turn the modules upside down.
I do this sometimes to get cables go more organized way.

Wonder would it be difficult task to program for the module builder?

Cool thanks a lot guys, I live in London so I think I'll hop by London Modular soon. I'm currently very busy and not in a hurry to spend a big amount of money anyway. I don't think the Schneiders Laden in Rough Trade still exists does it? Regarding the virtual modular, I'll look in to it. But I'm pretty sure I want to get in to the real deal too as I see it also as a study project of understanding sound and synthesis better then I currently do.

I'm still doubting between a full voice like the atlantis or paying a little extra for separate modules. Thanks everybody!

Here is simple just cortex and prismatic ray with audio modules

I don;t have a logic module but think about getting one. I will say, you can find the audio equivalent of the logic and scale it whereas the prismatic ray, not too sure

You are correct about the higher frequency range of the prismatic ray. There are other uses for them too like "keying" that you would need a video keyer for that is currently out of stock and the prismatic rays do much more and key differently.
Here is some links to where I am using the pr as a keyer:

Module Collections

Unicorn Users can now favorite modules they own. From this My Modules list it's way easier and quicker to add them to the planner. It's still possible to filter the My Modules list, e.g. "show me my VCAs".

New module property: Product Lifecycle

Modules have a new property Product Lifecycle with the dimensions Concept, In Production and Discontinued. If enough modules are tagged, this will go into a search filter.

Message Manufacturers

There was some trouble with manufacturers who lock/approve their modules but have the specs incomplete.
Now there is a message button on the module detail page where you can get in touch with them.

Remove Module Rating

If you have accidentally rated a module you can undo that by simply clicking on the rate button again in the module finder.

Hi, it's POB -- You can watch a live modular synth performance with this setup right here.

"Drowning"

a self-contained eurorack system
instant and tactile like an acoustic instrument

1. hardwired connections between Folktek Matter and Meng Qi Seashore;

2. tonal / atonal audio from Skot Wiedmann HYVE / IFM Mr.Grassi, travels thru body into various points within Matter;

3. left/rightmost inputs on Seashores are equipped with jacks, thus touch-controlled external signal injection / feedback are convenient;

4. Meng Qi DPLPG provides smooth vactrol based voltage control of volume and tone;

5. Recovery Effect Cutting Room Floor offers pitch shifting looping / delay / faux reverb, and is sensitive to incoming volume;

6. bottom jacks on ADDAC Size Matter is connected to a D-Class amplifier, a hefty built-in surface transducer provides strong sound and vibrations to feel with body.

it went through a few revisions.
I hope it stays in the fine line between redundancy and scarcity, like a well designed standalone instrument.
