Been playing with this rack for a bit now and it’s great. For the time being, I’ve got sound sources all set. And have about right above the bare minimum of sound support (vca, filters). Stereo mixer was a mistake and will be switching that for a quad mono mixer with sends (topobrillo stereomix). The more I play with the Desmodus Versio the more I like it, I think adding a delay (Xaox Sarajewo) would be fun, also thought about something like a Instant LoFi. The Tallin is actually doing a solid job of taking an output from ableton and bringing that into the rack.

As for the CV side in the bottom row, I like PMW but I would rather move towards dedicated modules (replacing that with Batumi and maybe Tempi) and adding something for random (Verbos). Limited space in this setup but in the future I will be adding a Mantis case to then house the audio and expand, and have the 84 wide A100 for drums.

Welcome and thoughts and opinions. Here are some tunes that I’ve put together this weekend mostly from the modular and a Vermona DRM, and a few ableton samplers, all controlled by Squarp Pyramid.

Nice start! Here are my recommendations and suggestions:

  • logic module like Intellijel Plog or WMD/SSF Toolbox super useful.
  • sequential switch like Doepfer, Erica Synths or other switch to create fun patches
  • good complex sequencer like 512 Vector, Eloquencer, Black Sequencer to create cool melodies and quantize them with scales and have ratcheting option as well as create random and reverse sequences. My Eloquencer was a game changer for my workflow on modular and I won't build another rack without a good sequencer.

  • delay and distortion would be nice: FX Aid, 4ms dual loop delay, Erica Synths Black Hole DSP, etc.

  • percussion: look at getting a nice kick drum, clap, snare, high hats or combo module with multiple drum voices like Queen of Pentacles unless you plan to use an external drum machine. I need my beats unless I am making calm ambient stuff.

Sacguy, thanks a lot for the suggestions!! Very helpful. Especially the thinking about a good euro rack sequencer. I’ve been trying to hold off on moving away from the Pyramid until I can be more firmly in eurorack, but simpler sequencers like the metropolis really interest me for good riffs, also something like those you suggested look really inspiring too!
