Oh! That looks awesome and fun. Ordered. My keystep37 (pre-ordered in early sept) just showed up yesterday.
I’ve taken the forums advice and started testbedding modules and patches in vcvrack. I hope I never figure out what the hardware versions of sequencer 3 and that vca/audio mixer are...my credit card would cry.
hi! yep, should have listened the first 2 times about just getting a bigger rack than actually buying and selling two smaller skiffs.
I'm pairing this with a drumbrute impact, SQ-1, keystep 37 and an O-Coast. I'm planning to stick a Links/Kinks combo in there and find something fun for the last couple hp. The two 1u modules are currently living in the 1u to 3u adaptor. The SND/RTN is used for both a NTS-1 (for effects) and/or a guitar reverb stomp box. Everything outputs to a Dude mixer into a Zoom H4n recorder.
I mainly do video music beds and jamming. I come from industrial and metal with an appreciation of EDM and quite love synth wave. I tried to get some movement going in there with some playable modules, as well as making sure I had a good amount of utility modules as well. The O-Coast does some of the heavy lifting in that department as well.
what would be a fun 4hp hole-filler? Dlisting mk4? more modulation? I'm really not above pulling and selling anything from this rack to streamline/make it more fun.
One warning: the Syinsi tiles use the "original" format, and Intellijel's tiles are based on a slightly different spacing. They WILL NOT work in an Intellijel-spaced tile row...and vice versa.

well...tbh, if you just screw in the top screws of an Intellijel module...it fits fine and the cover will rest on the lower rail. my 2 Intellijel modules are rock-solid and don't wiggle at all. it's literally 2mm or so. I saw someone lock down a steppy like that in the same case - figured I would try and had a good return policy from the guy I picked up the 1u's from. Also, the intellijels are powered by the usual power connections and not that weird 3 strand one like the Pulp/Syinsi ones. So I like them moreso at the moment - but I really like the idea of a 1u/ 6hp LFO and VCO...and if it comes back in stock, the 1u midi interface.
hi! I wanted to put together a small rack to use with my O-Coast and Drumbrute Impact. This is what I have in the rack so far and try to mess around with it every day for a bit to see how everything works together and what needs to be added/changed.
I have a reverb pedal I quite like (Ocean's 11), so I have a SND/RTN for that as well as using my NTS-1 as an effects unit from time to time. Everything gets mixed in an external Dude Mixer which goes out to either phones or my H4n recorder. I also use a SQ-1 from time to time to add movement, don't love it but don't hate it either. I like the forbidden planet, but don't love it.
The Drumbrute Impact is the master clock into the Tik Tok for the rest of the system.
I mostly make sound beds for video and some pieces of incidental music for various projects as well as a good cathartic jam now and again. I use a keystep as an controller with a Keystep 37 on pre-order. The O-Coast is pretty awesome for adding in modulation and other functions not in my rack. I also like taking the Drumbrute Impact's FM Drum signal out and run it thru the Viola Ruina as a low rent bass line.
I know I would like another 1u sized LFO and/or oscillator (like the Syinsi tiles) and a usb power tile for the NTS-1. A Sloth Chaos tile looks fun as well. It seems to me that the Clep Diaz's like to run in pairs?
Feels like I'm missing something on this rack and the more I read/watch the more I want...LOL!
Thanks for looking and thanks in advance for the suggestions.
