AJFourier (https://modulargrid.net/e/users/view/64713) sold me 3 MFB modules, which where never sent. He completly ignores my messages but I saw some changes in his Marketplace Offers. I payed more then 300euros for those modules. Last message was on 25th of June:

Hey Daniel,
Great, just received:)
I will try to find a sturdy box for all 3 modules and try shipping it today, otherwise tomorrow latest.
I'll send you a tracking once shipped.
Have a great day!
AJ

After this he never replied to my messages again.

Does it make sense to lock module editing even when there is no information about module depth or 5V power consumption?
for example: https://modulargrid.net/e/winter-modular-eme-black

@modulargrid: consider to make those fields required before beeing able to set it to "Approved by manufacturer"

I'm in the process of migrating to a large DIY system, which is three side-by-side 27U cases each 168HP wide (for a total system width of 504HP).

I'm finding it challenging to model this system in modulargrid for a number of reasons:
1. I can't fit my system all into one modulargrid rack due to the ~432HP row width limit.
2. Splitting the system into multiple racks forces me to manually track which modules I've already assigned to one of the other cases in my system.
3. I have multiples of some modules, but modulargrid doesn't provide any tracking of quantity in my collection vs quantity currently assigned to a rack
4. When modeling multiple cases in the same modulargrid rack I have to manually keep track of the boundary between cases.

I would love to see the following enhancements:

1. A higher max row limit
2. A way to insert rack horizontal and vertical rack dividers when modeling a multi-case system in a single modular grid rack. The dividers would act as edges that you can place modules across.
3. in lieu of #1 and #2, it would be useful to be able to group multiple modulargrid racks into a "system" and track module assignments across the system. For example, if racks A and B are part of a system and module X is already assigned to rack A, it can't be assigned to rack B without removing it from rack A.
4. A way to specify the quantity of each module in my collection plus tracking of what quantity of each modules is currently assigned to a rack/system.

Do you mean that you use the Octatrack/Rytm to generate samples and modify input, right? Just confirmimg that this rack is primarily being used to make synth sounds (aside from the Sample Drum).

I am looking for advice on how to modify my system, as a sequencer I use oxi one. I play techno with octatrack2 and rytm2. I use the system to generate samples and to modify the input sound. Which modules should I replace to improve, there are things that I use little but I leave the comments to you...

Please this would be so useful.

looks like 3rd party black panel is the only option for PPW anf PNW

I have a BUNCH of modules (Mork Modules to be specific) that I want to upload so that people can see how their panels would look like with my panels, but I absolutely 100% DON'T want to replace the beautiful default manufacturer image on the module. I just tried uploading a new Pamela's PRO Workout in black and gold, and now when I browse MG, it's my version that shows! Yikes! This is not the intended functionality when uploading panel versions.

Suggestion: When editing the module, make a version of "upload image" that retains the current default image and simply adds the uploaded image as a version without altering the path to the default image.

I have 130 modules that I plan to upload, and I would hate for someone to have to fix each and every one manually, so I'm holding off until this is fixed.

Thanks for a kickass site! 🖤

Here's a unique and terrible idea.
Drop the A-111-6 voice for an A-182-1 switch mult, and two 2hp pluck modules.
-- lumpytapioca

I have 2 Plucks and liked them so much, I added a Bell, lol!

The tone of Plucks is so unique and shapeable.

Very happy with my transaction with @cfemery
Fast and great communication and shipping, the module comes in an excellent condition.
Recommended seller!

I second that you should take out voices for an FX rack- if that's your intended purpose.
An unsolicited opinion for an addition that's hp- economic, the FX AID XL is a huge bang for the buck (6hp), though they might be hard to find new.

Testing nonsense sequencing tricks and stacking too many voices: it was a fun session!

and the last sounds pretty oragnic 😀

Thank you, appreciated.

Spring reverb is always nice in a hardware effects setup. Doepfer has a nice simple one.

You could also just get a Finegear Dust Collector to go with the rack, but that might be a little overboard.

Another option is a Poly Hector. It has Rings and Clouds in it plus a lot of basic effects, modulation, and routing tools that would take a lot of space in another rack. It's a touch screen, but it has a very effective interface that makes it easy to tweak and adjust.

EDITED Aug 2nd, 00:04

For a FX rack better leave the voices out. As I understood you want to process your other synths.

I would keep the Ikarie and drop the rest for other stuff.

For Fx Rack:
-I like hands on modules like: Mimeophon as Delay, Reverb and Stereo-Feedback looper, all in one.
-Qu-bit Data Bender is nice for processing.

-Small and slow modulation sources like Divkid Ochd + Expander or NC Triple Sloths are useful
-Bastl Neo Trinity could be a good Modulation Hub for a rack of this size.

-Ikarie is cool for stereo filter, with drive

-There very small versions of rings and clouds, like nanorings and uClouds.

A maker of clones has put one under the Mutable brand. Can this be corrected or taken down?

Here's a unique and terrible idea.
Drop the A-111-6 voice for an A-182-1 switch mult, and two 2hp pluck modules.
Yes, they are fussy to tune and a pain to rack straight, but often worth it.
You would get the stereo you're after plus a handful of polyphony.
The plucks will be fun with Maths, pair nice with Rings, and Clouds really likes them.
For what they are, they can sound wonderful.

You could really use that mult too.
And the Disting UI always frustrates me.
.

My thoughts are:

-to many voices in a small rack - Do you want / need that?
-lack of basic utillity = attenuverters, lfos, switches, mults ......
-lack of modulation

Maybe overthink the whole thing?

quick random ideas on this

-I would drop the a-118, a-156 and get a Pamelas Pro Workout instead.
You can use it for for clock, random, quantizer, logic, lfos and more stuff.
I love Pams Pro because its possibility of cross modulation of the channels and the logic functions

-T-Networks trough the waveshaper? - I was very disapointed from the T-Networks. Dry without a bunch distortion and processing its probably not very pleasing?
I would drop the T-Networks, 2-hp kick and get a nice percussion module like a NE BIA or Ultra perc which can be modulated very intense.

-Add a nice wonky dedicated LFO of your choice or (Pams)

-I would suggest a other mixer as NGM.
If you want to have a Rides on the Storm module, then maybe "XXM-mixer" (also good for cv)
-Bastl Aikido is mega cool (as mixer with sidechaining + feedback stuff + also as vca)

-3 FEGs - for what?

-I would drop Zverb - and get a Mimeophon :D

-Maybe get rid of the erica double bass. The A - 116 as bass voice is enough, or drop the A - 116.

-Everyone loves plaits - Do you really need it?
You can also use it for percussion and drums instead of dedicated drum modules

-Be aware of your filters. I think they are a bit similar. Do you need it?

-How do you sequence melodies, basslines etc?
maybe get a sequencer, some turing maschine module (or use also Pams for this)

-Bastl Neo Trinity could also be a nice fit for a small rack besides Pams

EDITED Jul 31st, 22:23

I'd put Maths in the lower left corner, before the percussion voices,
and put the quantizer and Circles to the left of the oscillators and envelope generators.
Avoid having wires draped everywhere. I love using those little yellow Doepfer wires.

The Wasp and the 106-5 SEM sound different, but kind of the same.
Substituting an A-101-6 Opto-FET Filter would provide more colors.

You are going to need more multiples.
If you had to sacrifice something for a 4HP Rides in the Storm QAM, what would it be?
Mounting a module from 2hp on the end of a row is asking for trouble.
Always a wonky fit and really difficult to get your fingers in there to tune it.
That voice is already covered, I'd drop it, and with the spare space already,
there's your 4hp for a QAM.

Circles (and techno!!) wants a clock. I know it's costly, but I'd drop the A-136 waveshaper,
and put a Pam's Pro Workout in the far left someplace. Maybe near a mult(!).
The A-136 doesn't give back much for the space it takes up anyway.
Pam's can do a lot of the things the noise generator does too, plus 7 other outs,
in the same space. It could also help with the lack of LFOs here.

A nice little filter from Befaco, that's also kinda a mixer and sorta vca. Either mix three signals through the filter or take that filter out, and the vac triggers on input audio voltage, that's why I say "kinda".

Pretty straightforward build, though as typical Befaco there are a number of tight solder locations.

Calibration was a breeze, also.

And sounds pretty sweet. Will sit well in many mixes.

Hi,
it's overfar's notes on the collection. the base level of my build started with a PWM malevolent. then came the dreadbox (Hysteria;nixed-replaced with the PIP and Push VCA), bit crush & phaser. I kept them as they have sweet spots & utility. the rest came in sequence ->BEFACO/REBEL Lich, CLANK SUM, NLC MING ROD, COSMOTRONIC Delta V, SSF ultra perc, SSF steady state gate, WMD CHIMERA, VULT CAUDAL, Schlappi Engineering 100 GRIT, Happy Nerding FX AID XL, 4MS RowPower35, Retro Mechanical Labs GPI, ERICA Black Joystick2

The units are housed in two skiffs, 84hp from the RP35 to the SUM (powered by the RP35, skiff dimensions match the Moog skif profile), 60hp from the ultra-perc to the FX AID (powered Moog skiff).

I also use a Novation Circuit Mono Station as a sequence and CV controller/audio processor. Recently, a Moog labyrinth has also been added to this mess due to the shifting sequencing/wave folder/voice...but I have to spend more time with it to pass on an opinion.

-edit Oct.30.2024
Added the plasmavoice and reconfigured the desk, 2x84hp top and 2x60hp skiffs. Ok yeah the labrynth is a whole skiff. This feels pretty good for my use case and can pick up and run with ideas using the other gear in the studio with purpose, including soft synths and automation with a nod to purpuse. I'll probably ditch the Euphoria for a Mutant Brain and a slim rectifier.

XFMR Euro DI : Audio Demo : Vaemi (Eurorack)

As VAEMI, we designed the Euro DI in the Eurorack module format, which can be used for all digital or analog equipment, synthesizers, and drum machines ranging from line level devices to high voltage synthesizer levels. In this way, you can input the unbalanced sound signals of your equipment into your microphone preamp with a balanced XLR connector.

Key features include:

• Balanced XLR Output
• Neutrik XLR connectors
• Enables the transmission of audio signals over long distances
• Clean and transparent sound
• 0 degree phase shift
• Accurate isolation from electrical noise in the audio signal
• -12dB Pad switch
• 180 degree phase switch
• GND Lift switch

To watch the full video:

To be honest, I expected some boring synthwave but this was filthy AF just like something labeled cyberpunk should be IMHO. Good stuff! Maybe the drums are a bit too loud in the mix but this is just a very minor complaint. I like this a lot.

I use Mob of Emus to modulate, quantize and pattern sequence the ime modules.

Some patch notes:

• Sport Modulator IN receives white noise from A4 CVB
• Triatt INA receives V/8 from A4 CV-C
• Maths Ch2 IN receives static 5v from A4 CV-A
• Maths Ch4 Trig receives gate from A4 CV-C
• It is critical to keep the DPO Timbre knob closed and the corresponding attenuator only slightly open; it is also critical to keep Maths Ch4 Rise fully ccw and Fall at roughly 12 o'clock
• Gemini set to dual
• MMG in LP

yes... almost anything "can" be a modulation source...

usually it helps if your modulation source is slower than what you are modulating...

all signals in modular are just electricity varying in frequency, amplitude band shape... so to a large extent anything can be anything...

the only real caveats are that for a signal to be audible it needs to be both fast enough (>20Hz ish) and slow enough ( < 20KHz ish) and that it's not a great idea to send DC signals (slow unipolar signals) to speakers - as this can damage them...

and try not to be so loud that you damage your hearing!
