got a great module from @xPump
great transaction. super deal.
I guess she's more into fixed architecture synths. Or even VSTs (sacrilege!)
Very cool design.....I'm thinking a skiff for on the couch playing right?

I like to think of this as a handy way of keeping warm on cold winter nights. ...especially since the wife left. She just couldn't stand not being able to afford to eat for some reason. XD
Now with more dollars and less sense!
We have built the protypes last week and they work. We will be tweaking and testing the changes that came from suggestions from testers this month and hope to have these available in May 2016.
Cool stuff! Sounds sufficiently mind-bending.
I bought a module from @koaxial .
He held it for me since I was on a holiday and sent me the stuff the same day I got back and could pay him.
He even sent it with a premium delivery service even as I misunderstand and only payed for a cheaper service.
I can totally recommend him!
Is an assembled version of this tile available to purchase anywhere? I must have it!
It would, but this won't do it. For a condenser mic to work, you need a pre-amp. Not sure if there is demand for something like that, but there could be.
Hi folks - first time poster here :)
I'm trying to put together a suitcase carry on studio which I can take into cabin luggage while I travel. (Thinking about a couple months trip with my fiancée.)
Ideally, I'd have sequencer, percussion, bass/lead line, chords, mixer and delay/reverb effects. And I have a mother 32 separately for basses/leads.
Any thoughts, feedback? I'm pretty happy with how this setup looks although it's very costly. Obviously I could get a cheaper bass/lead line than the SEM but I love the patchability of it. (And the sound of course.)
This looks like a total package right? Or am I missing anything? (E.g. utilities I'm not thinking of.)
Thanks!
Steef
PS Oh right, I'm planning to use the Pittsburgh Modular Structure EP-208 case which should be allowed on most airline cabins.
it might be a good idea to clean out older offers.

We have that feature already! Sellers get a message after 2 or 3 month, if they don't BUMP the offer, it will be deleted automatically some days later.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
it would be nice to have it the other way around. for connecting condenser mic to euro.
it might be a good idea to clean out older offers. every time i contacted a seller for a module ad thats older than 2 month, they either never replied or told me that its been sold long time.
those who don't sell their stuff within 2 month can relist and rethink their pricing.
I'm interested in one of these as well. Thanks, dunk!
Very cool. I really like Elby's chaos and wave shaping and folding stuff too.
As far as sampling goes, it seems to me you've got a great representation of different modules, but check out what Rossum Electro just announced: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/rossum-electro-music-assimil8or. I don't think there's ever been a polyphonic euro sampler?! Also it appears to me it can record input to it's SD card as well as do playback?
@penrose_riots sold me a XAOC Sewastopol. Prompt delivery, well packed and excellent condition! Looking forward to the next deal with him.
Yeah! The Elby EuroSerge and Panther lines are incredibly interesting but sadly a bit under the radar. I'm glad I turned you onto them though! They have full kits too if you're into building.
Wooahhhhhh! How did I overlook this VCO?! Its essentially a wavetable synth where instead of loading the single cycles from memory, you draw their crests and troughs with faders, and the module samples or interpolates a wave shape out of that. That is really, really cool. Damn it! I "just finished" my rack and this is really tempting. Very much in the spirit of additive. I'm curious if the core oscillator is analog....I've heard it is hard to find stable analog oscillators that go super-aural, or at least not cheap.
I forgot to mention: the A-151 seq switch is bi-directional, but the WMD SSM is not.
Hey - thanks for the info! I love the idea of switches as well, especially with something like the Dynamic Destiny which is bi-directional (1 to 4 or 4 to 1).
The use guide for the Elby oscillator can probably explain its function better than I ever can. Basically you "draw" the wavform of the oscillator with the faders. I've just been self-patching it, listening to A while patching B into the FM inputs, and vice versa. It sounds amazing. At the lowest frequency (LFO-ish territory) you can actually use it as a very basic 10-step sequencer. You can set the resolution of each oscillator differently and get two sequences playing at different speeds. The thing sounds amazing.

Looks fantastic, I think you've got just the right amount of logic and utility modules.
Thanks! Yeah switches- I love them because they are one of those "building block" modules that has a simple function which can lego together with pretty much anything. A few ways I use the Doepfer A-151:
Have them switch through four different modulators routed to the pitch or root in on metropolis, and then clock the switch so that every time metropolis finishes a pattern it's root is sequentiallay changed.
Set them to 50/50, two possible outputs, and trigger the switch with the URA or sloth for true random switching.
Run them at audio rate and do nasty waveshaping.
Make the WMD sequential switch matrix a 64 step 1 channel sequencer.
Route multiple waveshapes out of an VCO into Warps, i.e switch between saw, tri, etc. rather than just one.
Flip between two totally different 1v/o CVs into a VCO, completely changing a melody.
Basically with switches it is awesome when you are feed something modulation X, and while you're listening to that, modulation Y is being changed. Then you flip back to listen to modulation Y, and now modulation signal X is being altered in the background. If that makes sense! In other words, if you are into self playing/automation type stuff then you want switching.
In general I find them cheap and indispensable! I really love WMD's Sequential Matrix because it lets you step through pages of matrix connections, and even randomize them! Super under appreciated module IMO.
I'm not familiar with the VCO by Elby, but I like their stuff. What's it's premise of operation? It looks very additive, interesting.
Hey there, thanks for the comment! And not bad yourself - powerful system you have. It's actually going to be 5 rows of 72hp, but I don't have a Unicorn account to show the last row (see "Last Row" rack, which are more odd stuff.
Can I ask how you use all your switches? (I've got a Dynamic Destiny in repair)

Oh my god, hearing this beast in action is giving me such a hardon! runs off to a corner to go synthsturbate
Now with more dollars and less sense!
Made some arrangement changes and updated to accurately reflect what is currently installed in the case. Still waiting for my Mordax Data to arrive, but it should be shipping soon. Most recent changes were replacing echo/delay and reverb with Erbe-Verb and Chronoblob (both really good choices, they are solid modules).
Check out some of what I've done with it on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/lifeaftersocialmedia
I mostly use my modular for lead type riffs, but I've been having fun experimenting with other stuff, just trying to figure out the best way to implement it into a coherent song.
Although they are still too small to hold a complete selection of EuroSerge modules, the Intermediate Serge configurations delve deep into the full Serge design concept including sequencing and non-subtractive signal processing.

Phonogene and the ADDAC 111 were some of the last things i ordered. Just when I was feeling like I had voltage controlled sampling squared away in a decent amount of HP and cost, Rossum Electro uploads a new module, the Assimil8tor. Sure enough, its a EIGHT VOICE POLYPHONIC MULTI TIMBRAL SAMPLER. Damn near eurorack octatrack (not quite)....
Looks awesome. Any audio we can hear?
Bought a Doepfer Xtreme filter from @sceledra. Shipped really fast and works great. Thanks!
I'm done building my rack!

lovely little module, so much fun and girth, no brainer, bang for the buck is amazing!
in terms of what fits on the eprom - shorts sounds like hats or rims work well and sound almost like the original.
if you want to use the pitch in a way that makes sense, musically speaking, i´d tune up my own samples (if you order your own soundchips), in order to have a more useful range overall. bassdrums sound very raw and in a certain way nice for jamming or live use, but loose too much attack and punch due to the conversion. anyways - a must have!
getting lots of corrupt files...sometimes it works sometimes it simply doesnt and it´s just digital noise.
anyone have an idea what /why? guess i´ve decoded correctly, since there are files that work, but especially drum sounds or short sounds dont work most of the time.
