did willi die? if so, that is sad. i was not aware. i bought a Twin Peak Resonator from him last August.

If he isnt alive and making them, who else is in charge of taking orders? any help would be great

I will never ever sell mine but i suggsst to email the maker and ask! he explained everything super clearly and offered options (such as panel type, etc.). super easy purchase experience.

interested in purchasing one.... if anyone has one willing to let go, please let me know... and thanks

New Systems Instruments sent me their new module, Discrete Map. It’s a deep module, with lots of potential uses, so I’ll be dedicating the next few videos to it. This first, introductory video uses it as a generative sequencer, extracting an evolving melody from a Lorenz chaos trajectory.

I would think that you can archieve a track like this with just:

marbles - for whole sequencing, also ratchets and bursts

beads - for granular effect on the arp

noise source
any vco for drone with some oomph processing. maybe with dark matter

vco for arp
morphagene - for string samples and glitch
mimeophon - for feedback and dark reverb

Vihkk x is awesome for drones
check it out

plus the right patching

Hi people, I'd love to have your opinion on what modules and what patches ideas you would have on this :

https://kmruahossan.bandcamp.com/album/limen

I'm talking about either drones, 'strings', saturation/disto, glitchy/granulary effects happening !

I could think of Ruina Versio ; Morphagene or Arbhar or Multigrain ? but I'm missing specific voices and how bursts could happen (like an arpeeggiator's free rate being modulated?)

Thank you all!

Hi All, last June I helped produce a modular free jazz/play event at ridgewoodsoundlab. Tonight, at 10PM EST, I am going to premiere the video of the full show tonight on my YouTube channel. I would love some company down memory lane:

Hi,

I moved to a smaller case, pared everything down for a live set up which is okay but ended up with these left overs that dont have a home.

Would you see a use case for these as a rack in and of themselves?

Apart from the Deflector Shield and the 171-2 I'm half of a mind to sell....or store...

Your opinion, please? My first time post so I'm not sure if I am sharing my rack correctly:

Man, I never feel that leftover module systems do much. I've had a few. They're left-over for a reason. I always find it better to stash them as long as I don't need the money.

That's good to know,and be reminded; I'll make peace with myself by storing not selling. tnx.

Also played with Arturia Keystep Sequencer (32 Key basic unit)

Here's a demo of the E950 with the E951 looper/expander ( all sounds made with this pair )

-- Fastus

Did you multitrack this? because I cannot use vocals and the vco at the same time, or am I wrong?

as the system still ignores the YT video (does not work on my works, stranglely enough to be mentionned), I post the demo video on here.
Modulaire Maritime, the creator and manufacturer of the Phocaean city is back with its first generator, an analog oscillator embedding supersaw and TZFM, packaged in a comfortable 2HP. The video is in French but it has a lot of language subtitles, pick yours!

hello
i have a question about the module for Power.
What is important to check at the module itself?

Because most have a 13v-20v input and the Power Supply 230V to 15v 60W is outside!

So what i have to check at the RackModul Power, except to look nice ;-)

have a nice day
vinc

Thanks, also noting that Doepfer modules probably don't have reverse polarity protection, so i've probably been lucky (nothing blown at this point)

Hi, I'm going to start building my first eurorack system and some advice is really appreciated to try to make the less mistakes possible. I'll be making hypnotic techno and the system is oriented to the performer side but also it will be used as studio case. Drum duties will be taken care of by Digitakt 2, as well as sampling and mangling stems from the modular. for the case, I've been considering the doepfer 9U 84hp or the intellijel 7U 104 hp. When designing both systems few compromises had to be done but my feeling is that the Intellijel case It's less dense, hence more playable and easier to patch but I might be wrong :) Please find below both of the systems. Thanks in advance for any comments.

Older thread discussing -12, 0 & 12V

Man, I never feel that leftover module systems do much. I've had a few. They're left-over for a reason. I always find it better to stash them as long as I don't need the money.

In electrical circuits you always have a +Plus and a -Minus, think of it as turning on a light swtch to join the two and you get light.
Connecting your power cables the correct way around is important.

Hi, yeah...i'm sure this question is super-ignorant, ultra-beginner level, and i'm showing my drastically limited understanding of electrical devices...but here goes

Why does my power supply module (which is the uZeuz power unit of the Tiptop Happy Ending 19" rack kit, but I presume this applies to many such units) have one supply for ribbon cable that is +12v and another for -minus 12v

I'm powering my modules off the + 12v, but can someone explain what the minus - 12 v is all about, and what that would be used for?

thanks T

It took me two playthroughs before I realized you're NOT somehow sampling sound from the record. :D

Very fun.

With Marbles its sometimes a case of just slowing it down and extending the gate lengths, making sure to use nice long slow envelopes and plenty of reverb at the end.

As the title states, I am looking for some help with my latest addition to my rack, MI Marbles clone. I've had some success building patches with it, but I would love to get some insight from those of you with more experience than myself and particularly with the Marbles module or similar type modules. ideally I would like to create a slowly evolving ambient patch with Rings and/or Plaits. Patches I've previously made also included the Acronym Oscillator specifically for the sub oscillator harmonics it has. Additionally, Ive enjoyed patching different elements from each of the modules being used into my Erica Synths Joystick and modulating the different parameters I Choose with that module.

You'll find the link to my rack at the top of this post. I hope to get some helpful ideas from you all!

Hello mate, you have a nice setup for an ambient patch. I want to tell you that i have the same plants like you in my garden. By the end of the season they have been eaten by snails.

This is awesome! Super creative use of just a few modules. Gave me a few ideas I want to try out with my own setup.

Hello everybody,

Lately I´ve been working on a new project that I want to share with you.

Inspired by the quanta output of Rainbow Quantum 2.
I attached a minimal number of modules to an old vinyl record to create some sounds.
The LIQCS filter is set to self oscillation, highpass and lowpass output to the LPG, both outputs to a mixer.
Pamela is sequencing the LIQCS filter and the Zverb fills the gaps and adds some depth to the sound.
The kickdrum is generated with a envelop from Pamela´s output 6 to the filter, that was like magic.
And not to forget, the crackle from Rainbow Quantum 2 to the filter input 1.

Cheers.

Just ones planted outside :) Had a ton of fun working on this one, and even managed to catch a bunny and squirrel randomly interacting in the background! The best example of them starts at about 3:50 in the video.

Thank you so much ahead of time for those of you who give it a listen :)

It took a while but should be fixed. Thanks for reporting!

hi everyone ! i just bought the ml2m to sync up my eurorack with AUM on my ipad . but i cant seem to get AUM to find it at all ! can anyone help me with the setup please ? ive managed to get it on my home wifi network , and also run it as an access point but nothing seems to be working

It's a good idea.

Sorry folks didn't want to cause confusion here, this is just me toying around with thoughts around "The Analog Thing" (THAT) as a module. Wasn't aware that this might catch any attention, so I better set this back to hidden :)

It definitely got me for a second. I got excited that Doepfer decided to make something completely unorthodox, based on the success of the Analog Machine and the Collide4.

Not totally sure what's going on here but it's an interesting concept! Thought it was a real upcoming Doepfer module for a moment. The layout could probably be 4hp smaller if you reduce the horizontal gaps between the functional blocks.

This is the latest version of my Helmholtz_RSNTR. It can be heavily used for live improvised sessions

This current synth is apure Doepfer machine witha. mixture of West and East coast styles

This current synth is an improvisation machine. It receives input from external instruments and influences randomly generated sequences.

This is a dream synth, a top skiff that rips vocals apart.

Zero compromise. Massive knobs, giant switches, I'm in love.

A rainy day

Bravo, Big Up!!! Fantastic project.... Really hope develloppers will be interest by this and feed it.... I 'll keep an eye on it to see the demos and....why not to buy it , ...if it's really a swiss knife : big oscilloscope with min. 4 voices(+2 expanders) + poly synth + audio interface +video synthesis + whatever??
How many colors for the video?
Best

Combine a modular synth with a wind gauge and you get what we might call an electro-aerophone: an electronic instrument that can transform the wind into music … and, in the process, reconnect us to our environment.
After patching a wind chime in the last video, here I simulate an Aeolian harp with the help of an eight-band resonating filter bank, a comparator, and an addressable sequential switch.

A new video on my channel!
Samples, loops, fuzzy pads and synthesized vocals. More info under the video on YT!
Have a nice listen! Hope you will like it. 🌿

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie here and am looking for some insight. I have a Doepfer P9 case and it only supports up to 12v/2000 mA, which my system will most definitely exceed. I recently discovered power modules like the "Tiptop Audio uZeus" or the "After Later Audio Warp Drvie". I wanted to ask if adding one of these modules and tape the flying bus board inside the case would be a possible solution to extend my ampere. If so any concern like ground noise, inteference or safety issues that I should pay attention to?

Thank you very much,
Jeff.

Just got a reply from Plankton Electronics:

”this is a DIY unit.

1. There is no serial number (look at the white box it is blank, we write there the S/N manually).

2. Some soldering paths are not professional, we don't offer that quality.

3. One of the headers is melted. We will never sell that.

4. The red strip box is painted bad (we always cover it all)

5. Guillermo Cantalapiedra was one of the bakers of the Kickstarter campaign on 2019. He pledged for the 3 modules DIY kit.

I'm sorry if he sold you something that is not what he claims it is.”

Adding more photos for reference.

The seller calls himself "gcanta" on Modular Grid.

I bough a Plankton Electronics Spice VCF from a guy in Spain called Guillermo Cantalapiedra. I was told the module worked as expected and no info of any faults or that it was a DIY. When I got the package I quickly installed the module and tried it out. Almost immediately I noticed that something was wrong because the resonance knob didn’t work. I tried a couple of different sound sources, waveforms and pitches, but still no change in sound when turning the knob from max to min. I then shut everything off and pulled out the module. Upon inspection I could see this was a DIY, and a really bad one. Probably one of the worst I’ve seen. Obviously that is why the module is not working properly. I reached out and the seller told me ”I’m using it wrong” and that the resonance has to be CV controlled. He also denied that the module is a DIY. The case has been escalated at PayPal but I’m not sure it will be solved amicably since the seller first refused to take the module back and then wants me to send it without paying me back first.

Thanks, that's an idea, I'm reluctant on selling but having them in a box waiting for use is a bit dis-spiriting-although I have other priorities right now.

I only have this ragbag left overs coz my original case wasn't powerul enough to run my system with added (and essential) Tiptop ONEs without intermittent pitch dropping issues. Performability led me down a tortuous path to smaller performable case.
