I've got the Kit here waiting to build, hoping its going to be just the thing to match with my Acidrain Chainsaw's stereo outs.

Yep, it would suck HP very fast. I'm going to end up with more Mixers and Stereo Mixers taking up HP in my racks than I'd like, I'm already taking up 62HP for Mixing in my cases and I still need/want more!

Only one point, you look to be missing out on stereo Mixing but I'm guessing that isn't an issue for you.

Cheers :)

...Wishbonebrewwery -- Takaab could work but I REALLY dont like 2hp modules. fingers are just too fat...
-- Scarfmeister

as a workaround i have most of my 2hp modules combined with small blank panels on at least one side.
this particular module does not have any potentiometers so probably there is no need for additional space.

i never have heard of this module but reading the description made my curious - i am going to search for some sound examples...
-- modular01

That's exactly what I do, or leave a 1hp air-gap between 2hp modules. Though the Takaab module is just something you can hide away and leave patched as chances are everything that comes out of it will be sub-mixed back into the original or another signal before hitting a VCA or Filter.

If the TipTop ECHOZ & Z5000 are anything as good as the ZVERB I just got I'd check those out too.
+1 on the Mimeophon though, clocked or unclocked, frozen or Flipped it can get quite creative. My only critism of the Mimeophon is that the Reverb 'Halo' can get a bit Phaser/Flanger-like so best only used subtly.

Ahh OK.
Do you have to get autherised or something from Admin? Or is it a pay money type deal?

how about a link to all other modules bythe same xompany or submitted by the same user
-- pointandclicksystems

I think they are already there, if i click on your profile I see all the modules you've submitted.
Plus each manufacturer is searchable.

How would this fit your needs and budget?

I don't have one but it sounds like it fits your bill.

here's one - https://www.modulargrid.net/e/steady-state-fate-adsrvca they will all be there somewhere

Thanks guys :)

Other patch notes are:
I patch some of the STO sine through the DannySound Timbre with ends up beng a really suttle occasional part Cross-faded on with some crackle on the SSF Vortices Channels 3 & 4.
The other bit is the RadioMusic-flashed ProkDrum and screwing with some of the sample banks, some of it works and some of it should have been more subtle.

Cheers :)

I just got a TipTop Zverb so the constant wash of Reverb Shimmer comes from this, Marbles is in control, all Oscillator sound is coming from the MakeNoise STO, Clouds is taking crackling noise which is filtered via the ADDAC VC T-Networks, Mimeophon is in Purple mode with sorta looping delay, Modulation across this patch is from NLC Sloths, Divkid/Instruo Ochd and a 2hp RND, I'm using the Befaco Burst to bring probability to the on and off gates that hit Flip on Mimeophon.
Def a fun little patch which makes for very easy listening.

Hope you enjoy.

I've got another 3u 104hp case coming and I'm considering how I should move modules around.
I suppose I want each case to work at least partly as a self-contained rack, I may look at putting a Mixer into each case, and maybe some sort of effects, if it doesn't already have.

New Case (Top) - I've just thrown a few things in but the intention is to maybe move the weirder and less-used modules into here. This might not be displaying the correct link Image so click through to the actual rack

Main Case (Middle) - This is exactly how it is now.

Percussion Row (Bottom) - This is exactly as I have it now, I'm pretty happy with how this is though if anything moves it will be the ADDAC 104VC T-Networks as I like it for making crackly filtered noise.

Things I'm planning to sell.

I think I'll probably end up with one more case so I end up with a small esoteric / weird shit / sound mangling case.

Thanks for any input :)

Just got one of these and feel like its another good piece of the modular puzzle, I could play a full set with nothing but a Radio Music and this!

Yeah, sounding really great!!

I find there are enough Space Clowns outside my case noodling so having more inside the case would be overkill, I'm never sure of the current draw of internal clowns either.

1hp gaps are good for back-routing clock signals around the case.
1hp gaps are great between 2hp Modular Modules.
Ventilation is good.

Nice work :)

Here you go -

I hear that the Morphagene can be a bit noisy, a bit like the Mineophon which I have though it sort of depends on the settings whether the feedback develops into annoying noise.

I literally had loose nuts on the Ochd module I bought.
I've personally only had problems with 2 of my modules, a Second-hand Erica Pico DSP (mode button and/or LED flickers about but it still works), and my DIY build of a Robaux LL8 which occasionally fails to rejister a button press (still very usable).

Looks like a lot of fun :)

Maybe the 1 post about Ochd was actually enough, and whats with all the forum spam?
Post a Rack in 1 thread and then tell everyone about how you liked each module in one post.

I had some loose nuts on my Ochd, I tightened them, brilliant LFO module that has worked perfecty for me and is almost always part of my patching.

Maybe people gravitate to modular from certain music styles they enjoy, though the entire point of it is experimentation to me.
I'm quite prodedure lead as a person and its always been an important part of all my work from mechanical Engineering, to Print Finishing & Graphic Design then onto Brewing, so experimenting with different procedures to make sound is about all I need. I'm sure I tend to make "techno or pinged etheral ambience" ;-) plus experimented with more Drum & Bass and Noise patching.
@Farkas is right, dive back in and patch something up differently, do something you don't normally do.

Nice work :)

Nice track :)

I melted just about every power header on my first few Befaco builds, always tight builds.
Though my soldering skills have improved now.

I'm brutal with my tidying, racks never private.

Copied from YT description
I recently got @PnPModular to build me a Non-Linearcircuits @cirtcele Sloths, so I have this modulating the @paultasbeeb Indian Resonator. The Crackly noise is coming via noise fed to a VCA to lower the aplitude to the point where it turns into crackle, this crackle is fed into the @addacsystem6002 VCT-Networks 104 (I own 2x T-networks, the other non-CV is on more percussion duties), everything goes into the @AISynthesis Matrix Mixer before heading into either Monsoon Clouds (Reverb) or MakeNoise Mimeophon subtly tweaked by Sloths too.
There is a little bit of Sample action from the Radio Music Installed Prok Drum module too.

Nice :)

It would pair nicely with 4 Pints of Beer and a Kebab ;-)

I'd personally say get a good Reverb, I find the Mimeophon's reverb to be a bit Flanger/Phaser-like its just not as clean as it should be.
I've been hankering after a Happy Nerding FX Aid for a while, though the new Error Instruments / TINRS 'Rabbit Hole' looks interesting for some freaky weirdness. Clouds for Reverb is always pretty lush.

Kind of an ALM fetish you've got going on there haha.
I was going to sell one of my PipSlope's but I've just started using it as an LFO on looping mode.

Both good :)

I'll check it out this evening. It definitely got me to get some new sounds out of my modular.

proper relaxing, I should have been listening to that after my weekend Yoga session :)

Yeah, I guess its way cheaper than a a Mordax Data.

Can you get a Korg NTS-2 without the book?

The Korg NTS-2 looks nice but I simply don't want the book.
I'm sure the book is lovely and I'd recommend everyone read it.

Sensibly most people suggest to get an external Drum Machine. I'd quite fancy a Drum Brute Impact myself.

I've got a few small sequencers, DNIPRO DOT and Robaux LL8, both very capable, but I've just gone and got a Arturia Beatstep Pro as its way more user-friendly than the LL8 (though Muting isn't quite as easy) its good for other stuff too. The DOT is good for little fills and the in-between percussion bits that can be made to float along as poly-rhythms etc from the 3 channels that have different step counts giving you interesting variety that you don't always need to control.

Personally I'd use Pam's clocks for other stuff rather than trying to sequence Drums & percussion with it.

Nice work there :)

I'll give it a go, though I normally have both A-138s taken over by Percussion mixing duties.

A-138s are handy but only input mono signals, though i guess you could use 2 channels panned left & right then the Volume of each channel as Pan.

Interesting :)

Someone somewhere will make a Stereo one at some point.

There's a few here - https://www.thonk.co.uk/product-category/hp-size/0hp/
And here - https://pushermanproductions.com/?s=workmate&post_type=product

But nothing Stereo.

Exactly like that. @modular01
And I guess I could use 2x Attenuators per Stereo Pair to adjust, but isn't there something called Panning Law https://samplecraze.com/tutorials/the-pan-law/ and the way Panning should work versus just attenuating a split Stereo signal.

From what I can see, there's not really a cost effective module out there to handle the panning.
Though if someone made a 4-6hp module with 3-4 Stereo Panning channels it would be pretty handy.

Thanks Garfield, I'll shame some Dreamies next time.

I'm a regular viewer / listener :)

I've got a few mixers now, I've got CV-able Mono mixing that I can pan with voltage and mono-to-stereo panning mixers, and I've got Stereo mixers.
What I always want to do with stereo sources is to Pan the stereo slightly and it seems to me there are a bunch of No-hp modules around but what I want is a Zero HP Passive Stereo Panner to connect between a Stereo source and my main mixing.

I don't know if this is even possible.

Thoughts???

It was too early for cat modular, they chill out at the start of the mornings. Cheers

After watching the RedMeansRecording and then doing the walk-thru from MoltenMusicTech I had a go at creating a Krell Patch on the eurorack.
Not strictly self-playing as I'm shooting the Input of the Befaco VC ADSR a trigger from Mutable Instruments Marbles, Marbles is mainly used as a modulation source. The Gate-out of the Sustain stage on the Befaco Triggers the Sample & Hold and changes the Oscillator pitch. Lots of modulation from Ochd, Clep Diaz, Marbles & the 2hp RND.

You can ignore all the wires, I have 2 patches going on here, and I ease in a patch built around the Error Instruments Indian Resonator about half way through, the Indian Resonator works great when you combine it with a Sine wave and stick it through a Wavefolder so there are 2 parts that come from that.
