given the use case - I'm not convinced of the need for the extra vcos
-- JimHowell1970

I think of the Orbit 3 as more of an LFO. It will probably be useful as an extra VCO, but I honestly haven't thought of it that way very much.

The Virt Iter Legio was definitely intended as my third oscillator, and the options for phase modulation and built-in chorus factored into that.

Since the Malevolent's oscillators have four outs a peace, the noise engineering module sets up some great options for layered drones.

I have been thinking of using my Digitakt for reverb, because one of the recent firmwares allows for using that box as an effects processor for other gear. We'll see how that goes, but you are probably right in your suggestion for finding a good reverb module.

1 can you please copy and paste the url of your public rack... it really helps us help you - jpgs are blurry and there's over 10k of modules - when we can see your actual rack we get mouse over and click through etc... I would have done this for you, but your rack is private...

I deprivatized the rack and replaced the original link.

I will definitely consider upgrading my rack. I grabbed this one at a very good discount after dealing with 4MS pods.

This is a 58hp, 6u case. The purpose of the rack is to provide utility and processing FX for my PWM Malevolent, which has two oscillators, a mixer, a filter, two ADSR envelopes, and two VCAs.

I also have a 0-CTRL, an Erica Matrix Mixer, and a St. Modular Workbench.

Any feedback welcome.

Drone rack. After my research, I just want to hear opinions and see if these modules make sense for packing as much control as possible into this small rack.

Are there any modules here that do not make sense with the digital oscillator I've chosen? I'm fuzzy on the Happy Nerding 3X MIA and the touch pad.

Thanks for any pointers.

This 1U module appears to be improperly cropped.

Lugia, thank you very much for the excellent feedback. After some more research and consideration, I ended up dropping Maths for a Function, and adding a Chronoblob in that HP for some quality delay. I also added the Doepfer filter you suggested because it is pretty versatile.

The search for a mult replacement also resulted in my discovering the Plague Bearer, which I added to the effect cascade section.

I was excited about the Waldorf wavetable module, but the need for more HP to accommodate some of these additions caused me to look again into the E352 and I think Im sold on it.

Here’s where that left me:

My goal with this rack is to insert it into a Waldorf KB37. I plan on making drones, ambient soundscapes, and leads more than rhythmic sequences. I would appreciate any feedback.
