Today is the day after Christmas. It’s misty outside.Here in my attic, it’s cozy and warm.I’m drinking tea all day and making music. I wanted to create a patch which reflected this feeling.Music like a warm blanket. I used the polyphonic mode of my Hermod Plus by @squarpinstruments for that. Paired with the @vostok_instruments module line, it’s perfect for polyphony. Please enjoy and I wish you a beautiful 2025 full of love, health and beautiful bleeps and bloops. ❤️

This layout represents two, 3 unit racks that I possess.

I want to find a skin or faceplate replacement for the 2 Neutrons and the Proton. Something black with a more classic look, like the Pr0-1 and Kobol Expander.

Looking for sources, ideas.

Hope you enjoy 💪

Why are you trying to use that feature on something so small? Also - are you paying to use this site?

this site is and likely always will be a hugely frustrating experience to use on mobile (*sighs.. christ alive, i hate that fuckin' cat)

Same thing on Edge, Chrome and Safari :-)

My workaround is to always edit new copies of racks (and delete the old ones), as new racks seem to update thumbnails properly.

Would be nice with a fix, though. The problem has been around for more than 3 years now.

Wondering about this too. Something keeps the command center page from updating properly.

I'm using firefox if that matters. :)

I got a big problem with how PedalGrid's homepage is set for my desktop resolution. Upon first load, it looks like this:
But when the window's width is shortened to this, it fixes itself?

anybody knows how to do ratcheting with tiptop circadian rhythms?

From backside of the panel to the top of the power socket it measures 39mm.

So my aim 2-3 years ago was to build a dawless techno set up. it currently consists of drums (Alpha Base), Sampler (Blackbox), Analogue Bass (Impulse Command), Sequencer (Pyramid).The left hand side of my modular consists of a digital voice (Scanned, using envelopes from Impulse Command) & the right hand side consists of Serge inspired modules for blips & blips etc.. Effects are supplied by pedals on the Endline send. As you can see the case has 24HP to be filled. I am very interested to know your suggestions for this gap.

Cheers

Thats fantastic. Thank you.

Looking for some advice on advancing my currently very bored rig. I already have the Vermona filter, Addac Mixer, HexInverter, Joranlogue I/O.

I'm hoping to use this rack to generate experimental tones and textures and loops to sample and play with in Ableton/Octatrack/outboard FX. Less interested in making a monophonic synth machine but it'd be good to have a voice to sing with if needed... I'm not sure about how I want to sequence or drive notes/steps, and I threw the Rene in last minute but feel least committed to it. Definitely aiming to look at my computer screen much less. I'm interested to hear any suggestions for more left-field modules or more ergonomic replacements.

I love artists like Barker, Lusine, Monolake, etc..

Thx u

Ive been building a song and video base, and plan to start gigging soon, so I thought I should start here when it comes to sharing.
This was just a fun robotic jam with some video modules to help as well.

Amazing! We have reached our funding goal for KOLOR. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported this project, I'm looking forward to see how you use KOLOR in your creative setup!

We still have a few days of the campaign to go so there is still an opportunity to secure a KOLOR module at this special Kickstarter rate, if you've been following along or would like to share it with your friends.

You may have answered your own question. Your rack seems pretty complete and looks pretty fun. If you're happy with it as is, I'd say leave it and enjoy it (and save the money!).

What are the goals with the synth and for expansion? It looks well-laid out, depending on what your aims are with it. Maybe switch out the passive mult for a buffered one, so you can use it more reliably for 1v/oct? You could consider a precision adder for manual control over transposition (I love the vpme.de T-43 for this), but I see that you already have MIDI connecvtivity so maybe this point is moot to your workflow. Really, other than suggesting smaller versions of modules to squeeze a few hp out here and there, I don't think there's need to change anything.

Enjoy the music-making!

Interesting, maybe not quite for me just yet until I buy my next Case.
Just spotted the Top image is showing a slightly older version, jpg must not have refreshed.

I'm always on the International Spaced Station! haha My usual tripod is in the other room so its actually a lazy camera angle.

Cheers & Merry Christmas

Doepfer Multicore.

What would you add to my top case? Could be Powered or Passive, I'm planning on adding a Passive Stereo High Pass Filter from Herzlich Labs after the Panmix for the ability to do a filtered drop. I've got MI Kinks in there at the moment but it simply doesn't get used.

Its very much an acid bass box with 303 and 101 sounds, I'm mostly sequencing from the Beatstep Pro and percussion comes from my percussion case:

My basic idea is that these 2 cases can be used together with the Beatstep Pro without my Main Case.

Cheers

Very fun track! Excellent playing on frequencies and resonance (nice demo of Font, it makes you want...) The positioning of the camera and the darkness give the impression of a weightlessness session. Were you on the International Space Station? :))

Hello
i have a Roland bitrazer module i am interested in trading for something interesting, make me an offer

Wow. Just wow. That looks like FUN!

The SIG+ is a recent addition to my rack and I've been loving it. Playing the SIG+ feels like having a conversation with my synth, and I'm still only part of the way through figuring out everything it can do.

If you don't mind the question, I'm curious if you envision the Strange-R as a compliment to the SIG? I'd love to hear how you envision the two modules working together, if at all.

Thanks!

Pretty cool Phin. Didn't see that coming.
Another module..
I guess I have to get it, probably the larger one.

The SIG is in most everything I do, it's wonderful.

Would the admins consider adding a new sorting method to the main list of modules.

Currently you can sort by "Newest" or "Popular"

But It would be handy if you could sort by "Newest & Popular"

It would be cool to be able to see the most used newest modules from the current year.

Video:

Manual: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KIR9YYltkQTQa3_RPCA2l4PnV_vMzlKGQDvNpvCzeqA

Notification List: https://forms.gle/7WyFvb4PR82zyixM7

Strange-R introduces a totally new way to do sequencing: Melodic Contour Sequencing. It’s extremely powerful at generating recursive melodies, loops and randomness, making generative melodies that sound like human melodies, or live-varying external sequences sent to its input, but never losing sight of your direct realtime performative control.

The majority of its melodic power comes from just two controls…
ρ (Rho = Correlation = Melodic Direction)
∆ (Delta = Deviation = Melodic Jumpiness)

These two simple intuitive controls both originate the melodic material, and then also determine how it is manipulated by 3 independent ‘phrase loopers’ to walk or jump the loop up and down. All this is combined in a unique internal 'micro-patch' with the quantizer (able to do automatic Modal Interchange and Circle of Fifths modulation), two chaotic LFOs, two flavours of noise (analogue and PRNG with sample rate and bit depth control) full CV control over every function, as well as the input which permits live re-composition and variation of anything you send it.

The result is a generative powerhouse and mother-of-all-random source utilities.
* Custom SI Random Walk
* Music theory aware quantizer (automatic Modal Interchange, Circle of 5ths, root note set)
* 3 independent loopers able to hold over 4000 events
* Built in probabilistic TrEG envelopes
* 2 Chaotic LFOs
* External CV Input for live manipulation of an external sequence
* External Clock Input for eternal sync with no lower bpm limit
* Clocks into audio to use as VCO (tri/saw inc.VCO sync!)
* All functions CV controlable
* Non-sprung joystick control with direct JS XY output +/-8v
* CV folder/wrapper
* Quantizer can be used as live input keyboard with chiptune pseudopolyphony
* Full memory recall into 7 scenes
* Special input/output calibration mode
* Firmware updatable via micro SD Card

Patch notes are on the vid.
Just top case and percussion case in action here.

Cheers for listening.

So after a long hiatus I finally filled up my Rack.
I made some Quality of Life improvements like the Direct Out's and finally got a Clock Divider and Muxlicer for some more variety with rhythms.
Not sure I want to Expand bsyond this Point.

Popular Modules Yearly Stats

The Top 25 Popular Modules statistic on the homepage counts how many modules have been added to racks since the beginning of ModularGrid time in 2013. This gives you an approximate indication of how popular a module is.

But times and modules change, so in addition to the all-time favourites list, there is now a filter that limits the list to modules released in the current and last year.
So if you want to know which is the 🔥 hottest 🔥 module of 2024, you can find out now.

There is also a Top 100, find the filter at the bottom.

Rossum's Mob of Emus does the harminic oscillator thing beautifully, and a lot more.
Doesn't have the fun sliders though.
It can give you six note polyphony and can sing sweet as a bird or tear your head off.
Outstanding build quality and precise tuning, at half the price of the Verbos.
But only six harmonics vs. eight with the Verbos.

The OXi Coral in also interesting, but it prefers to be midi driven and that's not the direction you're headed.
The upside is it also does VCF, ENV, and VCA without extra modules, unlike Mob of Emus.

I've not tried the Metropolix, mainly because I have a Frap Tools Usta and a SIG Inspiration Generator
to handle sequence-y duties. Metropolix looks like an excellent heart for your system.

Thanks for your precious feedback @noodle_hut ! For the multiples I had chosen some "randomly" without looking at whether they were active or not. Aware of what you suggest I would have purchased them active anyway. Thanks also for the tips on cables!
For the patches, maybe you're right: a system like that could be a bit limiting. Looking at the additions made by Toccata I think the system can become more flexible. I have various ideas and I'm trying to put them in order, both (indeed above all) for a question of money and to try to take a musical direction and not change it halfway.
Verbos attracts me, I don't know why! Maybe it's the colours, the fact that it's an harmonic oscillator or maybe it's because Caterina Barbieri uses it (listen to her if you don't know her): would you recommend anything else in its place? Also following your musical tastes, of course.
As you may have noticed my main source of "notes" is Metropolix - have you used it? What do you think about it? It seems like a large but worthwhile expense to me to use it as a command center.

Thanks again :)

Passive mults are maybe ok for clocks and gates, but using them for cv and envelopes makes things unpredictable
(not in the good way) and makes keeping things "in tune" futile.
Drop the passive mults for Rides in the Storm QAMs. They're terrific, well made and cheap for what they do in 4hp.
Were you going to use a mult to combine audio down by the Doepfer Mix? Don't do that.
And don't use those patch cables with LEDs in them, except maybe one for debugging. They are evil.

Give consideration to what's mono and what's stereo in your signal paths (looking at the Ghost and the M4s)
and if you'll be throwing away some of what you're generating. I haven't tried the Ghost, it looks really fun.
It looks like you have a certain patch/path in mind. But what about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th... patches?
Will this have what you need?

Look at the Doepfer A-135-2 for a Quad Mixer/VCA.
Seems light on filters and LFOs.
Why does everyone like Maths? I don't get it.
Every box could use an ALM Pamela's Pro Workout.
Take a look at the Frap Tools 321 and 333 to see how they might fit in to your ideas.
Nazca Noodles are the only patch cables I use. They are perfection.
Same with Befaco Knurlies. Accept no sustitutes.
That Verbos sure takes up a lot of your space and budget for the one trick you get out of it.

I like where you're headed with this.
Tailwinds.

When module by module and euro by euro I have something I will keep you updated!

Yes, very much playable. That's why I chose the Neo Trinity and Gliss for you.

Check em out:

Thanks very much for the reply @Toccata ! My biggest concern is having a modular that isn't very "playable" and, although I know that everyone has their own modular ambitions, do you think that such a system could bring me joy and be playable? In the meantime, I'll start researching the modules you suggested!
