Thread: Thoughts on my first rack?
My thoughts:
- take DFAM out of the rack it wastes way too much precious space
- get a larger rack like 9u at the minimum to give room to expand
- Add more utilities! Things like VCAs, CV mixer, matrix mixer, logic, envelopes, LFOs for modulation and so forth.
- Try free VCV rack software to build test racks for free and learn.
- Get the excellent book Patch & Tweak it is great book and reference for modular.

Thank you for your advice. I’ve replied to JimHowell1970 on how I would use each module and why I prefer to keep it in despite it wasting rack space. As I mentioned, I’d like to consolidate everything to a smaller portable rack so I can use for live gigs. This rack and a drum machine is the goal to just keep it simple for now before I start my second more serious rack in a bigger case.
Utilities are a must I know, but as you can see the DFAM has it’s own VCA/filter/envelopes and the Plaits/BIA also have their own built in VCA which is fine for me for now.
I do own patch and tweak and have been practicing on VCV. ;) Great advice!
