So I guess this is the common "Hey I'm new, looking for opinions on my rack" post. …
For cases, I picked three Intj 7u 104hp cases each outfitted with a pair of 1U Octalinks to route each case to the others. That way I can just pull the 3 CAT cables off to be able to put the case lids on without having to unpatch everything.

A few thoughts regarding your hopes for Octalink cross-case connections.

• With a system this size you'll often find yourself patching more connections between the cases than the eight supported by an Octalink. (That won't matter when your patches will be torn down before the cases are moved.)

• Octalink connections are great for subsonic CV signals. They might or might not suffice for audio signals. You'll need to patch directly, instead, if crosstalk interferes with quality.

Happy patching!

Were I filling out this system I would next go for an Intellijel Quadrax (or perhaps Quadra) and then a QuadVCA. At that point you'd still have all Intellijel modules which is visually (and sonically) pretty.

Maths is a function generator. Quadrax is also a function generator. They're different but serve roughly the same roles. Things like signal level balance are likely to be better between modules by the same manufacturer.

The primary version of KOMA Dual Discrete VCA cannot be added to a rack. Choosing either version from the module page adds the alternative version picture. This started some months ago. Before that it worked fine.

My main dislike of black panel designs: (1) I can’t see the knobs as well, and (2) I can’t read the text as well. Tiny knobs and text make Eurorack hard enough as it is. So I’m supposed to use it in a nightclub while it’s styled like a ninja in camouflage? That’s like playing a practical joke on myself. Nevertheless I do buy some dark models. It can’t be the deciding factor for me.

Hi, aaaaaron,

As I see it, those two envelopes are not in use in this video. The connection must combine their output to whatever destination an additional cable might take them. (The possibility of additional cable comes from the yellow cable's stackable form.) It's the same as if they were both patched to an unbuffered mult, with nothing (yet) coming out of that mult.

Bought a couple modules from @grieve with full satisfaction. Extremely prompt, modules well packaged, everything as expected. Would readily buy from @grieve again!
