Looks fantastic! Wonderful, compact set-up. Looks to me like you have two voices (if you want them), tons of CV modulation possibilities, VCA's, etc for such a small set-up. It's fantastically well thought-through for such a small set-up and would have lots of possibilities.
If I were to add something, it would probably be in the way of controllers (a small sequencer, or a Pressure Points) and effects (delay/reverb/granular). That's just because 95% of what I do involves a sequencer and 100% of what I do involves effects/processing. A Disting mk3 might open up a lot of possibilities with such a small format like this.
Can anyone recommend a compact in and out module for my compact rig? Currently I'm going out to a tiny mackie mixer, but I'd like to have a stereo headphone output built in plus main stereo outs and also an instrument input for things like external synths like my Op1 or volca, or electric guitar or contact mics even. The input is really only for processing in clouds or patching sounds to the dual looping delay.
Thanks. It was something that I put a lot of thought into. Firstly, I don't prefer the way scaling/offset is handled with Maths. That is, There's only one channel available to be scaled & offset(ed) in that you have to use Ch 2+3 to achieve it. So I had my eye on the S.P.O. which gives me two channels of scale/offset in 4hp. So it started there. And then at that point, I started running low on available hp, so I figured that if I got a Function, OR and Unity Mixer that I could get close to the functionality of Maths with less space and more flexibility. Since I already have Peaks, I had figured that I could use the envelopes there as needed. And then Just Friends came out which gives more envelopes if used that way. And I'm waiting for Samara by XAOC which will provide a lot of the functions that the middle of Maths does – mixer/scale/OR/SUM. So yeah...
The short answer is hp and flexibility. BUT, if I had more hp I would totally choose Maths over my current options. I do miss that second channel of LOG/LIN envelope generation and the really easy built-in SUM/OR.
What's interesting is that I was going to pick up that Doepfer crossfader to do a neato trick with Brain Seed. But then my Brain Seed had a defect right out of the box, so I had to send it to Darkplace for repair and so those two modules are shown on this rack, but I actually don't have them yet. I may even forego the crossfader for the time being as I think I want to get René back inside this case and put the uJack back in for easy plug-n-play operation. If that happens, I'll need to make a little more room.
But I digress...
Lovely rack.
Can i ask you just why did you ended up selling your make noise maths ?

Hi,
On backward you got 2 points to solder a speaker, try if it work, atention to polarity, it will be mono output, bit you may split it into a stereo Jack if you want.
For my degree work, I had the wonderful opportunity to use the MakeNoise Shared System. These are just a collection of my learning process as well as some original work. Enjoy!
No worries, I hid it from view and marked it duplicate. Also linked the original listing in the info...
One trick when searching for modules is, make use that in advanced search settings, you select build type as DIY AND manufactured. Also, if its a more unknown or limited module, select the "Show exotic modules a.k.a. "other/unknowns" button.
And pretty much, always assume a module has already been added at some point. ;)
i couldn't find the module on the site a few days ago, now there are three????? unfortunately, the site won't let me delete the module (it's already in a few folks's racks)
This is the third submission of this module. How many do we need?
Anyone with knowledge on different versions etc, feel free to change things to make it right - or mark them as duplicate/delete, and I'll take care of it.
(There are some slight front panel variations, but nothing which seems to be worth to have more than one...)
True,
Its not stereo, i understand now its Dual-Mono because Minijack-Construction.
My Headphones are Stereo. Some Modules have Dual Mono fem-Jacks.
But its dumb that the Mixers are not "Dual-Mono".
Sure i have only Params for Volume at it, but now i use the A-106 as a Mixer...with less capacities...
Later i will add Fx and....
How i can know, Moduls have Dual Mono if i stick i stereo?
This is my first post and visit to this site. I was directed here after I bought a few modules last week to start exploring modular stuff. My day job is a sound designer, but I pretty much exclusively build everything and process field recordings on a laptop.
I want to start performing and writing new music on my new modular instrument and I like the separation it creates between my art and day to day work.
I currently combine field recordings with ambient guitar/drones/pedals, I also have an iPad running borderlands and an OP1.
I'm looking to try and build a rack that'll work to capture and manipulate found sounds, build up lush atmospherics, yet still maintain upbeat, almost naive melodies/cute tones I quite often try and keep in.
I have a mother 32 for pretty vanilla stuff, but hope I can make use of it's patchbay to try some more experimental things. I love clouds and that's what really swung me into getting into modular. The dual looper is a bit of an experiment. I was searching for something that would allow me to capture and layer drones and textures. I think I still need a bit more time to figure this out.
The Tempi, to be honest was a bit of a last minute experiment with trying to get a clock divider in to help shape rhythms of things. After playing with the dual looper though, I haven't really found a good use for this yet. I still plan and have budget to get a couple more modules though, but would appreciate any help or ideas that could help me explore both my current set up, or any recommendations for missing modules.
My first patch/plan I want to create is a simple soft whimsical evolving drone I can leave in the room as part of an art installation I'm doing in a few weeks time.
i only have anushri so far but am planning my rack similar to yours so had to try! I was of the impression that most euro modules and patch cable are mono, i.e. that is the norm, although there obviously some that do stereo, sometimes this would be on one minijack (tip/ring/sleeve) but more likely be separate monos for l+r. These are usually fx machine and have some kind of panning or width/spread adjustment.
what you need for head phones is mono to stereo converter jack, these come in 3.5>3.5 or 3.5>1/4
i'm new to this, so please forgive me if i've overlooked something essential. the fact that i'll be incorporating my AK and FRR leads me to believe that these two units will fill in roles in the usual rack.
Hi, i have a Case :D
-> Doepfer Energy
Trigger Riot
TipTop SD, BD, CP, Hats (stereo okay)
Bismilus Iteritas
A-106-1 (stereo okay)
PoleZero SSF/WMD
Disting mk3
AD-Neuron
AD-Spectre
2x Malleko Mix
Okay...i have no consonance Stereo Out in my Headphones direct listening from
- Pole Zero (also if stereo from TipTop-SD, i have 95% mono left side here)
- Malekko Mix (both) ( 95% mono left side)
- Neuron ( 95% mono left side)
- Bisimilus ( 95% mono left side)
What happens here?
Energy Problems?
Headphones are okay, A-106 brings my stereo back...
This is my first eurorack ever. I am going for a starter kit where I have all the bases covered. Couple OSCs, filters, buffed mult, mixer, env. generator, midi to CV module, etc.
Any tips or suggestions are welcome as I am a newbie when it comes to modular synthesis.
A good option to replace the maths would be the 4ms Quad Pingable LFO. Each can be used as a one-shot AD if the ping clock is stopped. Plus, rhythmic modulation and a clear next step for expansion (e.g. QCD).
Was wondering if i could get any advice about this setup. First thing to point out is I have Anshuri in box so rack space is not an issue its just there for illustration purposes. Also I have a 606 I modded with trig ins which i plan on using with the trgger riot hence no drums in the rack. So the question is. do i need more utilities to make this practical? I'm not sure if i need more basic linking, mixers, envelopes VCAs etc?? any opinions from seeasoned eurorackers ?? cheers
The ads are already timed and selfdestruct after 3 month. Maybe that period is too long...
Since we are not included in any transaction it's hard/next to impossible to find out which offer is still valid...
Well I've seen and asked too many people already for items they're selling and in the end they already sold them. And I bet it's contaminated with much more... You guys need to find a new solution to this as it's a pain in the ass and then you end with like 300 ads for just a region and in the end you have like 200 real for sure.
One of the ideas is to put a timed ad... After 3 weeks of not notifying if sold or remove if given up for sale the ad should delete itself and user must add it again.
I too put one in my rack to power my BSP, not enough ma. Now I use it to power 2 gooseneck led lamps, which is great as my rig is portable and lighting can be a problem.
I'd pick up a second Z3000. They FM incredibly well together.

I thought buying a second VCO but mostly because I have the opportunity to get an AS RS95e for 80 €. But yes..a second Z3000, why not, I really like it!
Correct me if I'm wrong: for a basic full synth voice, I just need to grab an LFO. But if I want to make rich and complex ambient or industrial textures and process some external sounds, I need a lot of modulators! So wtb next: pay the price for an all-in-one module like Math (enven if the complexity scares me a bit) or take some entry level LFOs/RM/S&H/Noise modules from Doepfer..?
It sure has enough modules to do something meaningful. Question is what exactly are you trying to achieve? Looks like you want to plug in some sort of guitar or similar. In that case you may want to have something to convert the pitch of your instrument / controller to CV so you can actually play your synth with it, such as the RS-35 . Also, there is a lack of VCA and mixer for my taste. Loose one the uZEUS and get a mixer instead. Did you notice, the guitar interface module seems to be DIY only.
Hello! Can anyone tell me if this synth ecosystem has enough pieces to function and make a wide variety of sounds? The synth is the second one called First Mod.
I watched a couple demos on YouTube, and I envisioned using it to generate arpeggios (apparently missing the core concept, lol). Once I realized it wasn't going to work for that purpose I took it off, I just forgot to edit my post to reflect the change. Thx for the input TriangleMan
I love the Trigger Riot, but I'm curious how you plan on using it with this setup. I primarily use mine for triggering drums and envelopes. I'm wondering if you have enough destinations to to justify it.
In the picture, it looks like it can be removed from the case. It seems like it would be an odd design choice to not make it compatible with a eurorack case.
