The 4TTEN doesn't fit in my Behringer Go, Tiptop-Audio or Eowave case, no way to mount it without violence. I like to have a module like that, because I will work with faders to drop in and out my vioces. Any ideas out there for an alternative module?
Awesome, thanks so much for the info!
Out of curiousity, since circuits like to be kept cool, is there a reason that analogue vcos need a warm-up period? Or am I misunderstanding things?
I believe Beads has it's own reverb but still Strymon Starlab is an instant ambient machine.
Foley sounds! Yes, that's awesome. Thanks.

Just shitting on everything holy. Don't give them your money unless you have to plz
Specifically:
* How long can I keep my rack on in a single session?
For me, as long as the session lasts and I sometimes walk away letting it play to its self
* Should there be a cool-down/rest period between power-on cycles?
Nothing I'm aware of, circuits do like to be kept cool though
* Is there a correct way to turn off a rack (i.e., turn any ongoing signals down, etc.)?
I tend to stop any clocks from running, turn off my amp, turn off my mixer, then turn off my modular cases, do the reverse when turning back on
* What are the best ways to keep the electronics clean?
A soft brush a clean paintbrush, gently vacuum just don't go sucking off any buttons, sliders or knobs. When i reorganise my modules I vacuum out the case to get rid of dust and Cat hair!!!
* Do I need to worry about ventilation or temperature inside the case?
Cool circuits are happy circuits, I need to drill some holes in my main case to aid air flow, some modules do get quite hot

Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.
If this is based on the MI Blades it is not an SEM filter, in other words, it will not do what it says on the tin.
Looks like a lot of fun! Do you find the Morphagene and Data Bender redundant at all for glitchy stuff? What kind of music are you doing with this rack?
Every time I think I'm finished building my rack, I think of something new that I absolutely MUST have within a few months. Haha
Have fun with it.
Well...after countless trials and tests and cash...the rack has finally reached a position where I think I can leave it alone for the next 12-18 months!
There is an Oxi One sequencer for melodic and drum sequence duties.
Would be interested to hear peoples thoughts.
Reposted because the layout was completely wrong in the previous post.
As someone who has been in the modular world for a few years now, and hopes to have it as a continuing hobby for many more years to come, I'd love to learn more about what it takes to keep a system healthy and running without issue. What are some basic "how-to" steps that I can take to keep my modules running at their peak as long as possible? Apologies if I'm missing some basic info listed elsewhere or in an older thread.

Wow, crazy low price

no r&d costs + piss poor build quality = low cost
I mean, look at the demo video, the pots are as wobbly as pots come
Rings would probably be a good call.
Be sure to balance modulation and utilities (both playable and flexible) with the effects so you're getting the most out of each module.

Seconding Rings. It's incredibly easy to make it sound beautiful.
As for effects, I've been enjoying the Nautilus by Qu-Bit. A wide range of very cool clockable watery delay sounds, though it can get noisy a bit too easily. Nice for ambience. With the Rainmaker, however, I suspect you have the delay end of things covered.
Also, bumping the advice about modulation and utilities, this can't be overstated.
Good luck with your rack!
We've just launched our new WS2812 Pixel Contoller on Kickstarter for making beautiful LED lighting effects syncable to your Eurorack system right down to the pixel level!
I'd really appreciate it if you'd check out the Kickstarter Campaign and consider backing our new KOLOR module if you're keen to make beautiful lighting effects for your modular jams, videos and live performances.
It's pretty, and the look of it touches an old synthesist's heart in a primal way.
But I don't envy getting that thing in tune with itself.
It could use a few active multiples spread around the case.
Those Boog oscillators want clean power, and there's a ton of 'em there.
Take the hit, buy a doepfer case. It's one less thing to mess with, and will last a lifetime.
I am kind of puzzled by the arrangement of this.
The oscillators on row 3 get mixed on row four, then you have to go back up to row two for VCAs and EGs,
then take their outputs ?? back down again?
Put the i/o interface and the midi inputs up in the left corner where the fixed filter bank is,
next to the sequencers, because they're both your note event sources.
I'd sacrifice some oscillators for more filters. Are there any LFOs at all?
Rings would probably be a good call.
A resonant filter bank might also be worth a look, like a Serge ResEQ or the Erica Synths one. A dual/quad filter arrangement (like QPAS, Eowaves Tempetes Magnetique, or the Xaoc Belgrad) might also work. There are lots of options for both, so take a look around.
Be sure to balance modulation and utilities (both playable and flexible) with the effects so you're getting the most out of each module.

Turns out (and I should have noticed this on the other build) that the EBB (which I did last week) and the Flow are IDENTICAL except for the front panel and the microcontroller, you could swap these and get the other unit.
But it deserves its own build guide since you, viewer, might just have the one and searched for that.
Pretty straightforward build, 3-4th kit worthy.
And an interesting LFO in the end, particularly the chaotic waveform it can produce
Hello!
I mostly play synths and acoustic instruments. I have a small modular unit that use as synth, too. At any rate, I recently bought a Rainmaker and a Beads module and realized that I really, really love using my modular as a complementary effects rack. It's smaller and in many ways more powerful than my giant pedalboard, and it's more versatile, to be sure.
I'll be putting the Rainmaker, Pam's, and Beads modules into the synth (stolen from my other rack), and I expect to be using the Tip Top Audio Mantis case.
Most of the music I make these days is more ambient in nature, and the closest analogue is Jon Hopkins' 'Music for Psychedelic Therapy' in terms of what I'm trying to do with my most recent project.
Any thoughts on good modules? So much in modular seems to be focused on the edgier side of things, but I probably skew closer to Lightbath:
I don't need an oscillator in this rack, I'm planning to build a separate rack for sound sources, and I have too many desktop synths anyway!
Thanks!

Hello My name is Rickard Gustafsson and i am a teacher in Bay house school in Gosport Hampshire UK https://kgabayhouse.uk/ I am begging the eurorack community to donate a module or two for the school so I can start doing an after-school club for pupils to get an insight into making music in a different way . I am building a eurorack case in woodwork here in the school, now I just need to fill it so I can start teaching about the wonderful world of modular. The reason i do not use VCV rack is because I want the student to make a connection to the system. I am not asking for a full system, any module will be great Many many thanks Rickard Gustafsson 07880717641 King's Academy Bay House, Gomer Lane, Gosport, Hampshire PO12 2QP UK •

Hit me up if anyone is interested in a great deal!
I try to keep things left to right, with a sort of normlization of proximity, so I can use short doepfer yellow wires as much as possible to avoid a drape of wires over everything. I'm building in 3 rows, so what's above and below also matter.
I also try and put a mult after signals that are valuable enough to spread around (if there's room).
Almost all of the racks I see here look like random modules in random positions, that they think are cool.
A wooden box full of interesting strings and pickups and knobs and wire is not a guitar.
How many racks laid out on Modular Grid ever got built?
A side note: See those two Doepfer Multicores, one by the clocks, and another starting the OXI Coral section?
You can use two ribbon cables on the backs to connect them, and they're passive and bidirectional.
Really helps to keep things neat, and the RJ45 connectors still can be used to extend to other cases.
Saves up to 14 long wires to distribute the clocks and triggers, and shorting RJ45 can turn a multicore pair into a distributed multiple.
Hi there
Amazing module!!!! I will order 2 units directly Lol
When you plan to release it and at what price approx.? Available in UE ?(France/Belgium)
Thx in advance
Is that Link safe, not seeing any Modular action in your My Modular?
I'm thinking of others here seeing as its an abstract post to a random link.
Enjoy your spare HP, don't rush to fill every last space, this is not like filling sticker books. Resist the urge to 'complete' your rack, its never complete so just relax.
You could look at options from Konstantlab https://www.konstantlab.audio/product-category/power-suppliess/ looks like you need to spend the money you will have saved buying all B'ringer modules hehehe.
In seriouslness though, Konstantlab do some great power solutons, it all depends how much your are comfortable spending.

I am looking to power a monster sized system: 36 x 84hp rows.
For context, my System 55+ is 22% of my total build... 
On recommendation from this forum, I am thinking that I will go with the Befaco PSUs (though open to other suggestions), but need to work out exactly how to do it. It seems the older Power Bus (which can daisy chain) or the newer Trolley Bus (which I think can be used with passive busses) are what I am going to need, but would like some advice on which is likely to be the best for me.
Would I be better off with a lower power, daisy chainable setup, or a higher power system with added busses?
How would each of these work in practice on (for example) the System 55 I have linked up above? And how would I scale up to the full size of my massive modular wall?
Big modular power is new to me, and I am trying to level up beyond the multiple TipTop PSUs I have been using up to this point. I particularly want to reduce the number of switches that I need to use to power up the beast.
Grateful for any advice you might have!
it is basicly a "pelican case with a aluminium frame that I can tilt in an angle out of the case. Powered with a laptop batery charger thru a 4MS power suply. I a'm currently redisigning this case to make it more sturdy, protect the backside of the models and get some extra HP from a tighter built and by placing the power suply on the side of the inner case.!

That's so cool! It's a dream of mine to be able to synth-out in a forest or park somewhere, preferrably without extension cords. I'll have to look into something like this.
For me my system is just as my mind, chaotic. I work with an erica megarack in my "studio" and a 2X80HP portable batery powered case for working outside (where I get most of my inspiration). Modules go in and out of the rack and the case and never have a permanent place in both of my cases. This way I invite my self to experiment, puzzle and avoid patching routines.
-- NiemandslandI've heard other people say similar, but I think I'm too attention deficit to handle such chaos and be efficient. That said, I can easily see how it leads to deeper experimentation. On another note, I'd love to hear more about this battery powered rack. Did you DIY this?

Basically, I have three 3U 84HP "monosynths" (one based on a GTO/QPAS combo, one based on Tiptop Buchla modules, and one expanded Mavis) and then a home base rack with a Nerdseq, Sweet Sixteen, BearModules matrix mixer, Doepfer Octal Linear VCA, and some other things I wanted to try or plan to try but not necessarily take on the go with me. I like being able to take the "monosynths" to play with musicians in band settings while still easily being able to use them in tandem as a larger, more vaguely defined system at home.
Matrix mixer is definitely a good one - if you don't mind investing in some right angle cables, the NLC Clump also has VCAs built in to make things extra-interesting. Spring reverb (like from Befaco or Music Thing) would also be a good call. Speaking of Befaco, a Rampage wouldn't be a bad idea. It's kind of like their riff on the Serge slope generator, and it'd probably be a big help in here.
I always liked the idea of the Black Noise Cosmos, but that's a bit niche. It's worth a look, though.
Hello folks. Looking for some advice on modules that might make sense to add here (available in kit form). I am interested in ambient and generative music. Maybe a matrix mixer? More voices? Thanks!
Love this question, and it's something I've pondered a lot, as well.
After a few years of doing this, I have collected several racks worth of modules (my racks are public, "A. Setup Winter 24" is the current configuration, and "A. Unexpected Bounty" is where I plan to go with it). I've tried a number of different ways of interacting with the system, but I've learned that my mental workflow is most efficient when I group modules by function. I also go left to right and top to bottom, for the most part, but I've started to think more carefully about ergonomics and playability, and because of that, I've started move modules out slightly differently and add spaces between them for bettwe access. I've also had to adjust for the realities of multiple racks in a small room and long patchcords to connect them.
For my planned final case (A. Unexpected Bounty...), in my topleft case I'll have clocking modules, then my randomness generators, lfos, sample+hold, and envelope generators and generally my cv creators/manipulators. Top middle cases are voices and filters and drums. Top right are predominantly effects. Bottom racks are reserved for modules that are more playable and interactable. Bottom left is CV mixing, blending, futzing, and quantizing. Bottom middle is predominantly playable modules and the final mixer. That's my general plan, which I then adapt based on logistics and space. Finally, I like to pepper specific utiltities about (a mult here, s+h there, some lfo's or random about), so that I have those accessable throughout the system.
For me my system is just as my mind, chaotic. I work with an erica megarack in my "studio" and a 2X80HP portable batery powered case for working outside (where I get most of my inspiration). Modules go in and out of the rack and the case and never have a permanent place in both of my cases. This way I invite my self to experiment, puzzle and avoid patching routines.

I am selling my ALM Supercoupe system if you are interested ping me via message.
I have some fun pedals since i play guitar in a band. So yeah, I'll do that. I think i have my setup. Thank you a lot for your help:)
The SBG might be fun if you have a lot of pedals.
I have the mmMidi and Pamela's New Workout. Great modules. You should be able to set up some pretty cool sequences via Digitakt as your master MIDI device.
Adding the Tangle Quartet and removing SBG, HPO and Chalkboard, i have 4HP left. A second Pip Slope might be nice. Or keeping the SBG
Ah yes, got it. I didn't actually know that this is possible but if true that would be great. Thanks! :)
No, I'm just suggesting that you can switch octaves from the Digitakt.
