Thread: Newbie, creating a Taiga + DFAM + Quadrantid Swarm rack

I started just under a year ago by homing my semi modular gear somewhere neat with a single power supply, and a few modulation sources and a way to hook up with my Korg MS-20. However, soon started to realise that, for me, I could achieve similar outcomes, with many more options, with smaller proper eurorack modules. So the swarm gave way to 4ms Ensemble, DFAM to BIA coupled with Mimetic Digitalis, and much more. I'd consider a 2x104hp an optimal starter rack.

I take hybrid approach, using Bitwig as my DAW, using the boredbrain OPTX to integrate DAW with Rack, which just about keeps my at my current rack size.

Thread: My 9U rack - your opinions?

Hi Dieter,

Both the BIA and 4ms Ensemble will benefit greatly from attenuation on the inputs. There is no built in attentuation on the BIA, and only some of the inputs on the 4ms Ensemble are attenuated by the module itself. I've got attentunation modules next to both of these in my setup.

The OPTX works great with Bitwig for sending additional pitch, modulation and triggers to your rack. But the inputs are AC only - works fine for triggering Bitwig from your rack, but you'll need to use the Grid to modify incoming CV signals to get Bitwig moulations that are related to those coming in from your rack.

Have Fun! Martin
