ModularGrid Rack

Fellow Eurorack Enthusiasts,

this is my current 180 HP setup (barring tagh and the teia shifter for which I currently have the Kamieniec). Don't get me wrong, I have tons of fun exploring the system. I use it to produce backbones of tracks, such as basslines, lead patterns or sometimes pulsating drones with the multi delay; or generally any weird elements that might be missing from my productions.

I am just wondering whether you spot any redundant elements, if you would replace one module or set of modules with something more versatile that I am not familiar with, and above all, what you would patch up first when sitting in front of the system. I would love more people come over and take a spin with the rack, but unfortunately, I don't have many eurorack people around.

What I tend to do a lot lately is to clock pamela's with some triggers from the rack (EOR, EOD of the Double andore, for instance, or with a square wave with a small pulsewith at varying frequency from the kermit) and in a sense desync it from a general master clock, or let the eurorack system determine the clock of the overall production. That way, I feel like I can achieve more organic results and grooves. Sometimes, I send the modular sounds into the analog heat fx or the octatrack if I feel they are missing something, because I don't want to go bigger with eurorack necessarily (so please be modest with your suggestions, haha). Another thing to share is that one can and should use kermit/zadar as support oscillators, they provide some interesting results. The mutant brain might look like overkill, but I use it to send triggers or CV to the Pulsar 23. I also havean outboard mixing desk, so I don't need much of that in the rack.

Just one more thing, for those who have a make noise control - would you recommend it for a more exploratory approach to techno production?

I hope this is interesting to somebody. Anyways, thanks for engaging and have a good week!


Seems like a capable system at first glance.
I can't really comment. Never sat behind that rack so.
But what i am seeing is only a few vca's. 2 in doubla andore and 2 in taigh which is an lpg
I'm not trying to bash or anything but ..... i would opt for more vca's, mixers, attenuvertors and utilities.
Allows for more (precise) sweeping or gradual fm'ing, am'ing, etc, or whatever floats your boat.
Just my 2 cnts


Hey,
thanks for the reply! Several of the modules have in-built attenuators or input vca's, such as the bionic lester. In addition, the optomix, multi delay processor and also the CV processor can serve as mixers, the latter also as a VCA. But you are right, sometimes i could use for some attenuverters or offset modules and use them together with a multiple to build my own macro-controller. But I don't mind maxxing out the capabilities of feature-packed modules, so far I always found ways around that.

The instruo module is the tagh, which is a random, sample and hold, noise generator.


My bad. I thought the taigh was an lpg..
And i figured after i posted that most of the inputs would probably have attenuvertors.
Like i said. havent sat behind your rack.
What u think ur missing then? fx maybe?
