Thanks Farkas,
I'm thinking the attached is looking pretty complete now. Let me know what you think.
Thank you!
So I've been revising this rack for over the last month and this is the update. Rather small update, but wanted some advice.
I took out the Rubicon 2s and added the ZPOs as I do like the sound and features slightly better. Switching also allowed more space to fit the Basimilus Iteritas Alter.
The main issue is I'm kinda struggling between the Basimilus Iteritas Alter and the Disting EX. I like that the Disting can do many functions and when connected to its MIDI module, it has way more functionality than the MINI MIDI. on the other hand, if I leave the Disting EX out I like that everything besides the Tetra doesn't have a bunch of possible functions for each input/output, WYSIWYG-ish.
I would like to hear any recommendations.
Thanks again!
Hi Lugia,
Thank you so much for your help. As Exposure pointed out, it’s extremely helpful when someone with experience can give a wealth of information. I’m actually surprised how much people have helped with highly informative information. I’m going to go with the setup that you have shown. Makes a full contained unit. And the layout that you’ve suggested is even more help than the change of modules, which I will also change.
Thank you again!
Alright!
So I am going to go with a different case. I wont be able to buy everything soon, but I can go piece by piece and eventually get it done.
So I took you guys’ advice and added some sequencers and modulators. The only thing I’m not totally sure of is the Oscillators. I think it looks good and I just feel if I have one I need at least two of that one. Coming from standard analog synths I’m used to detuning or phasing the Oscillators.
Let me know if this looks better or if there are still some glaring weaknesses.
Thanks again soooooo much!
Hi guys!
Thank you soooooo much for the information, gives me a lot to think about. It makes sense to have more space because without added modulation and some creative modules it is basically just a generic mono synth. I’m going to work on putting something together in a bigger case. I’ll repost to see what additional advice you guys have.
Mainly what I will do is:
1. Look for a bigger, better case
2. Find some analog oscillators like the Chormatic. I would still want to have an unusual sound source like the shapeshifter or squid sample just to not have only analog oscillators
3. I’m thinking the Quadrax instead of the Dual ADSR as it can still be kinda used as an ADSR, but can also have 2 LFOs besides the usual envelopes.
4. Look through modulators.
Thanks again, I appreciate it as I’m just getting my feet wet.
Hello everyone!
After making multiple designs and watching hours of YouTube videos about Modular, I have finally come up with this setup.
I already have a decent amount of VCO synths, so I decided that a digital FPGA would be different. Also, looking at the videos the Shapeshifter looks to be very deep, and I dont really care that it came out 6 years ago. I am hoping I can use OSC 1 as a sound source and OSC 2 as an LFO.
Not too sure if I need the ADSR, I still think it could be useful, but if Im playing from an external keyboard maybe not.
The only thing that is bothering me is not having LFOs, Sequencer, and Effects. The Shapeshifter can be used as an LFO I guess. I will have to use external effects like the H9.
I do what to keep this small as I really want to learn with limited pieces at first. I'm pretty confident that this setup has all of my "needs" down and can substitute my "wants" with external gear to learn what I want once I put together a bigger rack.
thanks for your time guys and I would be grateful of any input!
