arrRack - need advice

https://cdn.modulargrid.net/img/racks/modulargrid_2378394.jpg

New to eurorack, this started about 5 years ago when my wife purchased the cre8audio nifty bundle for me for xmas, been picking up the behringer modules over the past few years so I can learn without breaking the bank. The plan was/is to start small and move onto other manufacturers/builders/diy once i had the fundamentals down. Now I have a decent amount of modules, and am in love with the endless possibilities, but I feel like I am missing something, clock? quantizer?

I think I have plenty of oscillators, I have another behringer 182 sequencer that is not racked.

Thank you in advance.

More modulation and yes, probably more clock fun.

thanks! any module recommendations?

I'm a big fan of the Ornament & Crime. Quite a few manufacturers make them nowadays, After Later and Cal Synth have a nice 8hp version. With stock firmware it can be a great flexible quad quantizer or a modulation source of many flavors. There's also the Hemispheres firmware that lets you run 2 different programs on each half, so you could have a 2 channel quantizer plus 2 channels of fun modulation or logic or whatever combination you want.

Pam's (New or Pro) Workshop is also great as a clock and modulation source, and can be set up as a quantizer as well.

For great modulation, Xaoc Batumi is a classic for a reason, and Behringer has their clone if you don't want to shell out for the original.

The other thing I'd very strongly recommend is a quad cascading VCA, a la the Intellijel Quad VCA or a Mutable Instruments Veils clone, and again Behringer has their version of it now too.

If you could only get two more modules, I'd say the Ornament and Crime and a quad VCA would be my recommendation.

Also if you haven't already looked up the Maths Illustrated Supplement, that will teach you a ton in the way of voltages and the many different uses for your Abacus. You'll probably want a second Abacus after that : )

Cheers and happy patching!

wow thank you for that very in depth response! I am aware there's alot of behringer here, I looked at this setup as my modular with training wheels. Learn the basics, then move onto more advanced modules. My plan is to move onto the original manufactures, or DIY kits when I have a better idea of what I am looking at and what I'm doing.

i will definitely look into O&C and the intellijel quad.
