i think that a mixer with the features that you are describing in 10hp simply does not exist.
Cosmotronic has some feature packed mixeres in reasonable hp
i'm really not willing to induce any gas. but i would not try to fit more voices and add a mixer in your case. you certainly don't want to remove utilities to add voices.
maybe it's time to think of expanding the hps ?
or maybe get a 1010 bluebox desktop ?
Well I guess that LFO with knobs are much more performative, but this is a matter of taste.
I have a Doepfer A-145-4 in each rack.
Also, for you system, considering a simple VCO to be used for audio rate modulation duties would open many possibilities. I suggest very simple modules such as a Doepfer A-111-3 or an Intellijel Dixie 2+
i think that you planned too many voices and effects, and thatbyou are seriously missing utilities.
you want to add vcas.
and adding other utilities will make your rack performative. i would add a quad lfo (doepfer ?), a clock divider, many vcas, a good filter (maybe two depending on the amount of voices that you keep in) and envelopes. maybe a math or rampage.
i wouod advise that you do not purchase all voices, to build slow and learn the process first.
out of curiosity: what are your main sequencing modules and techniques for the melodic parts ? do you program ? or do you record sequences ?
I'm curious because I look for inspirations to sequence polyphony in modular environment.
This one is a monolithic journey through the darker side of Ransac.
Our music often doesn't fit in short clips, so I simply left it as a one hour block.
Overall smooth, it will fit for a relaxing moment (provided you enjoy noisy soundscapes though!).
This is a modular duo, improvised music, straight into the recorder with no editing.
Our music is probably a bit raw, sometimes in noise territory, and clearly into sound design too.
It is not for everyone but I guess that some of you around will enjoy some of it.
An additional note about my previous posts, regarding user @sugarfreedaddy
I want to state here that my problem with him is now solved.
He was unable to send me the module that I purchased, and he was unable to refund me.
I offered that he sends me other modules for a similar value. He did, which means that, I don't really understand how or why, he was in a problematic situation, but in the end he did not scam me.
6 weeks after, I still received no module from @sugarfreedaddy
he replies to messenger messages.
he said that he will refund me "asap" but that he currently does not have the money. I don't believe him whatever he says :D
He said that he is not home and can't ship (but he keeps on posting new ads here and on ebay for you people to buy :D )
For several reasons:
6 weeks no module received
he refuses to communicate his name or adress
he ships modules from Poland but his ads claim that he is in Germany
when he ships, he does not communicate his own name and no phone on the parcel... he ships without name...
For all those reasons I believe that he is a real scam and as such, I really want to state it clearly, hoping to help modulargrid people: this guy is here to scam.
This person is indeed selling on several platform and scamming people.
He is selling and refuses to provide name or adress, even to buyers.
He ships parcels with no name, no phone.
He ships from Poland but advertises being in Germany.
In my case, I paid with Paypal to family, he kept the money and never sent the module, this was more than 6 weeks ago.
This has been reported in the bad trader thread too.
I got contacted by sugarfreedaddy and he said that he will refund (but I did not get a refund yet).
I will update when I'll have something new to share.
What is trhe idea of your rack ? Are you planning to live sample and resample in the Bitbox ?
Otherwise, I would actually use Nerdseq for most modulation duties, remove some modulation.
I would also probably remove the tuesday. You have a lot of sequencing power in there, and not many voices.
Also there's no filter.
What about adding a small footprint osc (Noise Engineering ?) and a filter (Joranalogue Filter 8 is very versatile) ?
On the 1U, an interesting choice is a ornament and crime, or some LPG.Maybe a 1U oscillator, that you could use for modulation ?
I think that you should spend more time planning and thinking, please don't buy stuffs yet , you would be disappointed. you have one voice and 3 expensive filters, that' like setting money on fire.
hexmix is also no right for such a small system.
what about you buy a cheap osc, a cheap filter, a cheap vca, as many utilities as possible and you learn from there ?
shapeshifter is nice but is definitely a complex module. chose one (or better two) cheap osc ?
remove two filters.
what's the plan for sequencing ?
do you know synthesis ? did you consider a semi modular ?
something like a beastep and a behringer crave, k2, or neutron ? that would help you building some basics.
a arturia minibrute 2s would also be a smart starting setup me thinks...
ask for more advices, read, test stuffs, and try not to spend too much money for now!
sometimes it does.
I don´t really know whhen this applies, but in some cases the buyer needs to validate the transaction when reveiving the item before the sellers gets the money.
I agree that those two are nice modulation sources.
I was more referring to audio rate modulation, to achieve new timber. I love modulating Generate 3, it cn do so many interesting sounds.
Maybe Orbit 3 can do such duty, no idea - I don't have it (it's probably very wild at it ?)
I have no idea if the Medusa can do audiorate - and this is something that I will test asap :)
The medusa and orbit 3 were supposed to cover that? Agreed that modulation is important.
I’m very curious if users can share successful experiences with delaying cv signals with « audio delay modules ».
I suspect that looking for one module to do comb filtering and long and accurate delays will be challenging ?
Synthesis technology E102 is a very fun module.
Joranalogue step 8 implements accurate track and hold (and is a super fun module too)
For comb and such, Joranalogue Delay 1 is impressive.
Regarding Rhythms generation,
Shakmat is really great at this. Knight Gallop and Four Bricks are amazingly powerful.
I agree with the above: looking for clock dividers/logic is a very fun approach to patterns generation. 4ms clock dividers are feature packed. Shakmat time wizard combines dividers and logic.
I agree too that Befaco Percall is great.
Also look at sequential switches.
For sounds this really depends on the sounds that you want to achieve. Endorphin has nice multi voice modules. But there are many options to listen to.
A square wave osc , a noise source and a good filter can do a lot :)
I second the 4ms DLD suggestion. This is a very interesting effect module. Each side has a feedback loop and adding any sound modifier in the loops opens many possibilities. It can do a lot, from gentle and clean sound design to pure madness.
On/Off by PH Modular. Christian's email is on the Modular Grid page. I have one of these modules and love it. It's good for modules with displays, but without screen savers, to save them from burn-in.

The reason is because: I have a Addac 112. And it tends to crash quite often. When this happens I have to restart the entire case. This is… not ideal when I’m performing!
I am looking for a module that would allow switching power on and off individually for a module in a case.
The idea is to be able to turn off one module without needing to power the entire case off.
I'm aware of the VPME p0wr, but I'm wondering if anything else exists (ideally with the two connectors facing the inside of the case and only the switch on the outside).
