Hi, if this prototype will go in stereo i/o, with 2x retrn and send aux , no clock in and phones out with cue will be the perfect mixer. Go instruo nice and elegant dessing with very good quality!!!

Hello, this is a Synthwave influenced Live Set on my Modular System with some Synths. Would love to get some feedback. Thanks for your time!

Had some fun with my newest module today, the Rample, and wanted to check out the sample banks that were created by The Flashbulb. It ended up as a song ^_^

https://on.soundcloud.com/XWaXhHJnYCDbncmX6

For those interested in the gear: The Rample is accompanied by the Hats808 and mixed with Ghost for a dash of effects, most importantly delay and reverb. The Ultra-Kick provides, well, kicks, and I make sure to side-chain it to the other instruments.

Solar 42f provides the simple melody in the background, as well as some bassy voices. To help with bass I also used Equator2, a MPE soft synth that I play using a Seaboard. Atop of this are Coral and Pluck, which provide some "bleepy" sounds. I use the M185 as sequencer for the latter modules, but patch the one going to Coral through Penrose Quantizer to make sure only specific notes are hit.

To control all of this I have the Oxi One, which communicate with the various parts using midi and cv. All of the instruments (except the kick) are heavily mixed with a reverb pedal.

Hello
could you add to the filter for the modules the depth of the module so we could select for exeample only skiff compatible with slim case of 3,5 cm .

toi tu veux te faire un marcel :)

I think I would prefer having the inputs on the left side of the potentiometers, not toally sure though, right side could also be handy depending on where it is positioned in your rack

-Current set-

So I'm really only looking at Disting nt to possibly remove, I'd think it would be literally anything else I'd need in a patch, with cool granular, audio & cv potential, especially in the future.
Butt. I want less menu's, saving, memory management/ corruption

something indispensable

& Of course anything else to go on about

("5" years of practicing with the following: Deluge, Minibrute 2s, o coast), + Paratek Saturn, Disting mk4, nlc Pills 1u, nlc This 2 shall pass, 3hwr, r2r dac, bastl Cinimon, stmod Diz, & o_c .
o_c & cinimon are only a couple months now

im looking for something to experiment & lern with,
-like chaining things to make my own complex sequencer,
-control over too many things at once,
-audible landscapes,
-lots of feed back & harsh noise/texture,
-strange related abstract shapes etc
-fun confusion

lmk things I overlooked, too much/not enough, suggestions etc.

Happy easter fam!

Step 1: Spend lots of money buying a palette with all the currently available modules in this system.
Step 2: Spend lots of time and even more money collecting all the Mutable Instruments modules.
Step 3: Write an alarm clock applet for Ornament and Crime that outputs a regular clock signal after a timer, and pauses the clock for 5 minutes when it recieves a trigger.
Step 4: Patch yourself an alarm clock.

Set up Tides, Veils, and Quantum Rainbow 2 to play slowly shifting noise through Ripples and Digiverb to soothe you to sleep. Your new O&C alarm clock applet will wait 8 hours and then clock a sequencer applet from O&C, which will play your alarm voiced by Plaits, Ripples, and Digiverb. You can patch FSR into the alarm clock applet to act as a snooze button on days where you just really don't want to get out of bed.

I'm graduating college this spring, so maybe one day I'll have the money to build an alarm clock as wonderful and silly as this one!

I enjoy little ambient performance racks.

Here are a few small ideas. Every row is a new idea.

If you want do do more complex stuff, you can add more stuff later.

1. Vihhk X with 2 Gliss controllers

Vihh x is a monster of a drone voice with internal effects
You basically need no other effects, just modelating it can be fun.
Very simple and small

1 Gliss for sequences -
1 Gliss for modulation and motion recording
You could add more modulation later. (if needed)

2. Oneiroi -

all in one ambient voice, sampler, effect unit with internal modulation -
you can have fun just with this without anything else

3. Strega + 0-ctrl

experimental synth voice with delay effect
sequenced and controlled by 0-ctrl
very performance oriented, works well for soundscapes and noisescapes

4. Rack focused on SGR 1806-20

SGR is a industrial drum/noise voice but i can do awesome drones.
in combination with a mimeophon (dark delay, reverb, looper) it can be impressive
Dark Matter is nice for insane feedback but even suttle processing, and can do also insane sounds on its own.
Modulating Mimeophon and Dark Matter rhytmically can be awsome.
Mimeophon can be also like a instrument, with feeback and karplus strong.
Pamelas Pro Workout as Main modulation and sequencing hub.

5. Benjolin with Turing Maschine expanders as sequencer, modulation, filter and soundsource.
   You can use the SGR for industrial drums or even drones
   Dark Matter + Mimeophon (feedack, distortion, delay, reverb, looper)

6. Small SGR-Drone
   SGR as drone and noise source
   Ochd for slow envolving modulation + expander adds triggers, random, more cv for modulation.
   uClouds for reverb, granular

7. Labyrinth + Sealegs
   Labyrinth as soundsource and sequencer
   Sealegs as selfmodulating Delay, Saturation and reverb.
   There will be a lot of movement going on just with this 2 modules.

8. Maybe my favorite: Collide 4 focused with rhytmically noise sequencing

noise plethora + percal + muxslicer = glitchy, chopped up noise rhythms
Collide 4 as main vco, complex vco, percussion, distortion, processing, sound design tool
Mimeophon as looper with delay + reverb
Gliss can provide a quantized pitch sequence or just as custom lfo

Not the most creative, but very practical because you can buy it in stages (Labyrinth has its own case, Hector (has its own case), case/utilities). Plus, as you learn more about specific modules and get more stuff (if you do), these will still be useful, and you can out them back in their own cases and use the space for more stuff.

The Hector is a suggestion I go to because it has so many Mutable Instruments modules ported to it. Marbles and Grids are great generative sequencers that are both there with great interfaces. It also has great effects and synth sounds from Mutable (and in general) that will work with the Labyrinth and cover areas it can't (as the Labyrinth does for the Hector with its filter, oscillators, and hands-on elements).

But, of course, make sure you do some research, play with VCV Rack or Hexen, and narrow things down so you know what you want and why when you start spending. There are a lot of ways to do generative modular – it's one of the things the medium does best.

Maybe something like this?

• Pam's give you clock and lots of tools for generating CVs
• ADDAC506: I think this should provide you with lots of possibilities for generating interesting CV signals for generative music (I don't have any experience with it though, so hopefully someone can correct me if Im wrong); alternatively I think ADDAC112 or ADDAC504 can be a good match
• QUA: Not sure how much you need this module in this design, but attenuators are usually very handy, and I think you'll appreciate the controls for fine-tuning
• Coral: You can switch this out with any oscillator you want, but personally I'm very happy with my Coral; it provides lots of interesting sounds and functionality for its size
• Ghost: You can drop this or switch it out if you want, but again I recommend this based on personal experience: it's a good multi-effect module, providing. stuff like delay, reverb, compression, etc

This is somewhat basic, but I think it should give you a good starting point for producing generative music with eurorack ^_^

Thanks for taking the time/trouble to make and share this vid!

Claude says:

I understand your challenge with the Hemisphere apps. Since you're using Vector LFO and Dual Quantizer, there are some specific considerations for making this patch work properly.

For your application, Vector LFO isn't ideal for feeding into the MMI then into a sample and hold setup. Here's a better approach using your two O_C modules:

For the first O_C:
- Instead of Vector LFO, try using "LOFI" or "Quadraturia" for generating more interesting CV sources
- These will give you more complex modulation to feed into your MMI

For the second O_C:
- Rather than Dual Quantizer, use "ASR" (Analog Shift Register) or the dedicated "Sample and Hold" app in Hemispheres
- Make sure to set up a clock source for the S&H function - you could use the internal clock or patch in an external trigger

The critical issue might be that Dual Quantizer isn't really a true sample and hold - it's designed to quantize incoming CV to musical scales. For proper S&H functionality to trigger Braids, you specifically want one of the sampling apps.

For patching, try:
1. First O_C: LOFI/Quadraturia output → MMI input
2. MMI CV output → Second O_C input
3. Second O_C: ASR/S&H app output → Braids V/Oct and trigger inputs

If you're still having trouble, consider trying the full O_C firmware rather than Hemispheres on one of your modules - the "Piqued" app is excellent for this kind of sample and hold application with extensive trigger options.

Does that help clarify what might be going wrong with your current patch approach?

I do have the Hemisphere app in both O_c so what would be the best apps? I have been trying to use Vector LFO for the CV source and Dual Quantizer for S&H, but its not really working the way I think it should.

i was mentioning that i thought the admins should implement ai chat assistance at a fair and democratized price for the site's benefit, so, i plugged this question into Claude 3.7 Sonnet to show off a demo of why i thought this would be a good idea, in general, ... ... ...

Claude:

I'd be happy to help you with your eurorack patching question!

Yes, you can definitely run CV outputs from your Ornament & Crime (O_C) into the Herzlich Labs MMI and then back into the O_C for sample and hold functions to trigger and modulate your Braids. This kind of feedback patching is absolutely possible in a eurorack system.

Here's how you could set this up:

1. Use one of your O_C outputs to send CV to the MMI inputs
2. Take the CV output from your MMI (which will now be influenced by your gestural control)
3. Route that back into an input on your O_C
4. Configure one of your O_C apps (likely Hemispheres) to use its S&H functionality
5. Use the resulting modulated output to control parameters on your Braids

Your setup is perfectly capable of this kind of patching. The MMI is designed specifically for these kinds of performance-oriented signal manipulations. Since you have two uO_C modules, you could even use one for generating the initial CV and the other for the S&H processing.

The buffered multiples in your rack will also come in handy here, as you might want to split some of these signals to multiple destinations.

As you mentioned, the ZOIA could accomplish this as well - it's extremely flexible for this kind of signal routing and processing. But using the O_C as you described would work great and give you a more hands-on, hardware-focused approach to the patch.

Is there anything specific about this patch flow you're having trouble with?

...

(and if this model was further fine tuned and continuously retrained on more new and annotated data, pretty soon it would know more than anyone on this forum.)

((peace ))

Hello all,

So I am trying to figure out a patch idea and running into some snags. I am wanting to run a couple CVs into My Herzlich Labs MMI and then out into a sample and hold to modulate and trigger my Braids. Am I able to run the cv out from Ornament and Crime into the MMI and then back into O_c for the S&H to trigger Braids and input to the V/O? I'm sure I can also use Zoia for this too so either option is fine, I'd just like to use O_c if possible. Thanks!
Heres my rack!

oops, i just realized i had multipliers and dividers mixed up. ... ... is a 3 5 or 7 ratio multiplier even possible? (i was thinking dividing the intervals between the clock.) can anyone tell me from experience how interchangable clock and gate signals are and any other issues related to trying to do gate sequencing from mostly clock sources? (i think it would be really cool to experiment with 1/7th notes, especially for glitch noise.)

thanks. peace. ✌️

also, im really into 'ochre':

anyone know how to get that kind of glitchy fluttery percussive sequence sound using only eurorack modules? i, do not, myself.

finally, to stay totally within budget, you could consider these three modules, (image wont load right, sorry.) and this case, and have a good amount of room to experiment with and expand with more modules later, and just treat this as the beginning of a journey, as opposed to 'finally' possessing a 'fully complete case' with infinite percussive sequencing options 'built right in'.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1754453849/eurorack-case-6u-powered

just trying to be helpful with suggestions. ✌️🫠✌️

another approach you might consider, if money wasnt an issue, you could just try to put together some of the modules that most interest you, that all together would give you the greatest possible ability to explore and experiment with. i tried to put together something like that for you, but including the cost of case it is already 2x over your budget, and im not even sure how to refine this concept fully yet, but this is what i have:

i cannot design your case for you, but good luck.

peace. ✌️

(edit)

oops, the eisei i think its called, i thought was mostly an lfo, because that seemed to be how it was categorized on this site. i was just trying to make a point about choosing the type of modules that make you curious to explore possibilities of everything they offer, as a personal aesthetic choice that i am encouraging o.p. to make for themselves. sorry for not reading the spec sheet on that.
