It needs a tick box to remove Mork modules, thats it.
Unpopular opinion: If they don't make actual modules they shouldn't be listed as a manufacturer.

Thanks @sweelinck
Its a bit chaocic with the modes changing on Plaits but Sloths makes for a nice long cycle of changes as part of the mixed modulation.

Plaits split into Mimeophon, Clouds and Veno-Echo

Lots of mixed modulation, Marbles is vaguely in control!

My Mutable Instruments Veils v1 suddenly started distorting the audio which seems to be on all channels and doesn't matter what source VCO I feed it. Anyone had this? Is there a fix?

Cheers

Ooo, yeah, nice work.

The SSF Vortices isn't bad, CV and manual Panning of mono signals.
I also have a DPW M1 mixer which lets me pan my Stereo sources.

Juno maybe? https://www.juno.co.uk/products/nazca-noodles-blue-300cm-premium-3-5mm-ts/872298-01/?currency=GBP&flt=1&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=1838759436&cq_con=72327549089&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw59q2BhBOEiwAKc0ijdooeDrGPPt_ERDZAuI0IRLeQSSRS4fdWBcM6RspnVXYheixyIhUExoC9IcQAvD_BwE
Or pick a smaller more indie Synth shop

a filter can go before or after the vca... whichever way sounds best for you in the current patch...

-- JimHowell1970

If you are using a filter when its self-oscilating the VCA is best after the Filter so you can shut off the notes.

If you only have 1 Power supply then 1 PWR checker is all you need, if you have the odd gap in your modular case you can see through to the KonstantLab busboards with their own LEDs too.

Sounding great!!

Rings split 2 ways, STO doing some stuff, Mimeophon, Clouds and Zverb all on effects duty, Sloths modulating Ochd, Marble in control, ST Modular WAVE modulating some stuff.

If it were me I would look for modulation souces of randomness and probability you can do something simple like using NLC Sloths to modulate Ochd or add small utilities like Noise Engineering's Clep Diaz for some clocked but random modulation, the 2HP RND is a good one and doesn't take any room up. I quite like the Befaco Burst because it has a probability control and a lot of control over its bursts though it is Clocked so expect a regular clock tick to come out of it which usually works for me but i sometimes wish it wasn't there when I want less structure. You can get little CV and gate generators like the ST Modular Isi Wren which is surprisingly useful for Rhythmic control of Filters etc.
You can't knock an un-clocked Mutable Instruments Marbles with its range of CVs and Gates.

I see Stupid people ;-)

Very relaxing.

When I had questions ADDAC were very responsive. Maybe you caught them when on holiday or something, everyone has a life outside of work.

Very calming, I need to get back to a few calming patches.

Could be tricky without something with an EOC (End Of Cycle) output, though it is possible without EOC it just won't quite self-trigger so you would have to look for a random trigger from someowhere else, I would look at vids from Robin Vincent here - and Red Means Recording here -

My preference is to use VCAs for more VCA stuff, if you are mixing the 2x Stereo outs you'd take up all 4 chanels of Quad VCA and end up with Mono. Happy Nerding make 4xMix which is a compact 4hp mixer - https://modulargrid.net/e/happy-nerding-4x-stereo-mix
If you want something with a bit more scope then the DPW Designs M1 adds stereo panning and a bunch of other things https://modulargrid.net/e/dpw-design-m1-mix but its more HP

Where are you doing your mixing? You have 2 Stereo outs from Mimeophon and Morphagene but nothing I can see you can mix with.

I seld things on Ebay and Reverb, its more of a buyers market out there at the moment though.

One big button that says "Push here for Talent"

I believe they call this "generative music".
-- Zacksname

Yeah, experimentation, experience and luck = Talent (Maybe!)

Done. Pre CR.
And I'm going to use it to overdrive my Geosync TB-0 / TB-EFA.

Have to wait for the ChatGPT Eurorack module!

I definitely need just one more case, 84hp 6U should do me!

Even when you've got no money to spend!

I must find more stuff to sell on ebay to fill the Synth-Piggybank!

Thats way too kind of you @sweelinck

Cheers

With some subtle modulation you can get some wow & flutter out of the Make Noise Mimeophon but without much signal degredation.

This rack yeah?

Just paste in the browser link ;-)

Made some werird noises, thought I'd share them. Starts weird, and ends weird with a dancy bit in the middle ;-)

My only gripe with modules are the Tact switches (Buttons) that can sometimes be a bit fickle and an area that quite a few manufactureres could look for more solid components.

Overall though, I only have 1 module that I bought second hand that has developed a fault, it still works and has all functions but there is an intermittent fault in either the multi-colour LED or the Tact switch on my Erica Pico DSP.

I've something like 89 modules and have been 'collecting' / 'feeding my habit' since 2019 with very good longevity of modules.

I'm going to say no. There are 4 independent tuning knobs on that module, though if tuned once it will probably stay tuned between power cycles assuming you let it warm up for a few mins before using.

Does anyone know if there is a varient of a MakeNoise / Mutable Instruments style knob that would replace a straight shafted Davies knob?
I have the lovely M1 Mixer from DPW but my clumbsy fingers get in the way of the tightly spaced knobs.

Cheers

I think all my effects will normal a mono input but some effects will further Stereo-ize.
Mimeophon has some nice ping-pong style features and it will also put the delay in the opposite channel to the initial signal.
Clouds has a knob for stereo seperation.
ZVERB is only mono-in but Stereo out.
Veno Echo does all sorts of stereo fun from a Mono input.
Pico DSP is mono in and Stereo out, think that depends on the mode you have set.

I dread to think what would happen if i picked a guitar up, probably a bar of 'Smoke on the Water' !

Nice, I ended up selling my Castor & Pollux I think I was/am chasing different sounds, quite fancy the ALM Cizzle.

Cheers @FredFoxtrott

Thanks @Sweelinck Its probably more acid trance than Techno but thats how techno was back then before Trance got all light and fluffy and more minimalist Detroit techno took over and made music just a touch more boring.
The bit at the end is another patch and uses the Error Instruments Soundscaper through a couple of Delays.

Cheers

A tweaked sequence which is pretty similar to the classic https://www.discogs.com/master/114137-Emmanuel-Top-Tone

Cheers

The AI is a great little Matrix mixer and an easy DIY build.
Great for using as an effects send or getting more modulation from sources you already have.

I've never been a fan of the rackbrute - don't like the design - and the power solution is m'eh - rackwart & all -
-- JimHowell1970

My experience of the Rackbrute wasn't good, Power module got so hot that is always smelled like melting plastic, sent it back, manufacturer repaired, lost confidence in the case and sold on. It even made my modules run hotter than my 2x TipTop UZeus power. Now I'm on Konstantlab power for my bigger case and my 2x small cases are on the uZeus and no overheating.

Not sure there is a such a thing as a proper mains powered 2hp module, though if you can power via USB then there is this from Rakits https://www.rakits.co.uk/product/go/ which might let you lighten the load on the Rackbrute.
-- wishbonebrewery

That would imply that my pc would need to be running as well.
Don't like that idea but thnx for the suggestion.

-- Chrissozz

That would imply that you need a Phone Charger Plug ;-) No computer needed, a computer would / could introduce a load of machine noise into your modular.

Cheers :)

STO into Veno then Monsoon Clouds and Mimeophon and Zverb.
Crackle from noise into VC T-Networks.
Sample of Thunder in the Sebsongs Sampler on look via a band pass filter.
Radio Music-flashed prok playing other samples with Sloths deciding when it comes and goes.
Bit of reverb & Feedback control of Clouds with the Transient Modules Joystick.
Marbles is in control, modulations mainly from Ochd & Expander.

Nyx hasn't come for a Synth session for a while, its her on the mug too!

Cheers Guys.

Here's a spot more madness!

I'd go as far to say the Veno Echo is amazing. It absolutly loves modulation.
And a combo of Veno and Mimeophon is even better.

Its quite a lot of fun.

2hp Bell for sound.
Befaco Burst for triggers and probability.
2hp ARP for Arpeggios.
Divkid / Instruo Ochd+ Expander for modulation.
Veno-Echo for delays and messing.
Monsoon Clouds for a bit of Reverb.

I predict everyone is going to want one of these.
Looks the perfect addition to a percussion rack or ambient with long samples.

Good stuff.
