Best Value for money Buffered Mult?

im looking for 1 maybe 2 buffered mult modules.whats the best value for money out there??

Hi Broken-Form,

You can find all that information on this ModularGrid.net website :-)

Go to Modules site then at function select Multiple and below click on Price to have it sorted by price :-) Or to make it even easier, here the below link should do all that already:

383 of them, so still a bit to search for :-) Putting a filter on a few of your favourite brands or HP width should narrow down that a bit.

Good luck with the multiples and kind regards, Garfield Modular.

Yeah, well, that's all Mults, not just buffered.

The best value is probably the Intellijel Buff Mult 1U. But, like it says, you need a 1U row for that.
The Doepfer buffered mults are rather cheap, but occupy 4HP. Erica Synths have a Pico 3HP one. Personally, I think in 3U land, a buffered mult really shouldn't be more than 2HP wide. So the cheapest option there is DIY. If that's for you, check out a DIY store in your country and build yourself one. That's the best value. Other than that, maybe go with Malekko or Intellijel.

For the money, my bet would be on the Takaab 2Multi. $34-ish, dual 1-in/3-out. These are simple circuits, no need to pay a premium for them.

However, keep in mind that unless you're trying to feed a single CV to more than 3 or 4 modules, which has the potential to cause voltage sag and detuning, you can make do with a regular passive mult. Buffered mults are for correcting that sag issue when you're trying to get several VCOs, VCFs, etc under that single CV control, but if that's not an issue, they're just spendy.

Also, if the above is the case AND you're doing a smaller-sized build, you should probably avoid mults that take up panel space altogether, and use inline mults, stackcables, etc. In builds that range from 2 x 104hp and smaller, your panel space is better used for actual functions; anything you can remove from that will open up space for more active modules.

Hello. FWIW, I own both the Division6 Multiplicity XV and the WMD Buff Mult. I like them both very much. I am very interested in the Livestock Electronics Felix as well, but it is very hard to find right now.

Peace, Marc

The Joranalogue Mult is really good. Less voltage drop than other modules I've tried, at a fair price and tiny size (2hp).
