The Facebook of Modulars!
In general I like the idea but in the past most attempts to get more user interaction were not so successful.

I replaced the original module comment section nobody used with the forum which is hardly used either.
I removed the general user activity feed from the homepage for privacy and performance reasons.
Nobody recognized this, nobody complained.
We had even a live chat at some time ...

I am not sure which benefits user get from a friend following function. I think only follow friends would not be enough, but a modular user timeline might be a little silly?

I'd like a way to actually search for users in an easier way.

Besides a little bit hidden this works pretty fine for me?

A way to "star" (GitHub style) a module would be a great way to keep track of interesting modules.

Not to be confused with a rating system (which exists), this would be only a one-star/like toggle which could be accessed as a list of starred module on a per-user basis.

The same mechanic could be applied for Racks and Patches.

Make sense?

P.S. Big ups for your work!


Ha, like social media? Not a bad idea actually. I'd like a way to actually search for users in an easier way. The problem is, many users have private racks, so you can't actually see what's going on any way.


I'm not sure if you're open to suggestions, but it'd be cool if there was a way to follow other users' MG accounts and see what they're doing with their public racks. Maybe your friends' activity logs could show up in a feed module on your personal homepage.

Thanks for the wonderful service!


Hi! Can I get some advice on this please? I am planning a rack to use for drums and drones/noiseyness kinda minimal and industrial... Am I missing anything really important or is there any modules you would really recommend? This is the rack:

Thread: Patch #2

sweet patch bro


I'm thinking about buying the Enclave flight 12U case.

But worrying about the actual depth.

Can I put Jomox ModBase, ModBrane, Trogotronic M277(latest version) and Tiptop Z8000 matrix sequencer?

Please let me know if you already have the one.

Thanks


Is it just my module, or is there other people with experiences of the channel inputs leaking to other channels too?


I would like to build an fx rack of eurorack modules,something like a moduler Pioneer RMX 1000.It should have no more than six
modules not including utilities and capable of processing audio(music)and if possible go into the aux of my Allen&Heath Xone 92and or Mackie 1202 mixers.The modules are:
Intellijel audio interface,Make Noise Math,Phonogene and Wogglebug,Qu-Bit rt60.
some other modules I am considering,Doephfer A104--108,127,128,187 TiptopAudio z dsp Mutable Instruments Clouds,Shelves and Ripples.


Where can I buy this front panel ?


Thread: Marketplace

I have another request: Can you make 2 regions for Europe, EU and Non-EU?
If you have 3 regions for the Americas, i think we can have 2 for Europe :)
For the customs it is the same if i import a module from CH or US ...

Thread: Marketplace

Thanks for setting the thread up and explaining the @ function.

Maybe it already enough to just add the rating system used for the modules to the user accounts as well?
Rating each transaction is probably more complicated to implement?

Mark usernames in the forum

Prepend an @ to a username in a post and a link to the users profile page will be generated, e.g. @modulargrid

Stricter validation for usernames

We had a very loose validation schema for usernames. For security reasons from no on only alphanumeric characters and numbers are allowed.
No spaces, Umlauts, Parenthesis etc.
Existing usernames stay the way they are until those users change anything in their profile (email, password). Then they have to adapt their username to the new rules as well.

In the meantime, can we make a "Good Trader" thread in the forum?

Good Trader thread is a great idea! Find it here:

Let me start by thanking @MarsFace for blazing fast shipping an excellent shaped TipTop Bd808.


Since we do not have a feedback/rating system for sellers and buyers on the marketplace yet you can use this thread to name the people you did good business with.
If you prepend an @ to a username, a link to the persons profile page will be generated.
The thread is searchable so it should be easy to find users with a good reputation over time.

Edit:
We now have a simple user rating system!
On every users profile page you can vote up or down your experience with a user.
You just vote the user one time in general, no single transactions. It does not matter if you are the seller or buyer.
The accumulated votes will be displayed on offers and in the user profile.
You can always revoke your vote by clicking again on the thumb button.

To get started feel free to rate users you had transactions with in the past.

thank you for the help.
I actually got it . was not using the proper trs cables / y cable configuration.
should be stereo out of q nexus cv - split to 2 mono's one to 1vpo and one to gate.
now i have pitch tracking .

my only issue now. is that if i disconnect the controller all together
and use the gate button on the atlantis i can use the envelope no problem . but when i attach the qunexus
i can track pitching but it seems to bypass the envelope. im sure i am missing a connection here.

any help is appreciated hope this helps someone else.


Thread: Marketplace

This is soo cool! I put some modules for test and i find the UI easy to use.
A bit cash strapped ATM, but es soon as i'm liquid again i'll try the notifications when searched for modules go up for sale.

I'm as well in favor of a feedback/rating system for sellers.
In the meantime, can we make a "Good Trader" thread in the forum?

A Eurocrack Pusher: "The first time is for free" ;)


Did you connect the Gate Out from the Qunexus to Gate on the Atlantis?
If that didn't work, did you try to connect Gate Out from the Qunexus to Trig on the Atlantis?


hello,
i currently have my qnexus hooked up to my atlantis eurorack modualr

i have the patched to 1 volt per ocatave . if i just hit a note i get nothing but if i cycle the envelope in a loop
i get different pitches on the keyboard.

how can i just play without cycling the envolope?

any help is appreciated.


I agree because I reposition mine as well, but it would be an inconvenience of minor significance when compared to the benefits. In my case the repositioning would be viewed as not that desirable.

But "repositioning" could be further achieved by another toggle corresponding to state. If one so desired.

Both options are much more logically sensible than the current implementation of "clone my entire rack, add a few modules, rinse and repeat", which adds noise to redundancy.

Gate Mode:

Aux A = STEPd: Var

Not sure if this would work in every way. Users tend to reposition modules when their systems change to fill up the gapes.

Many users have duplicate racks of a base system. For example, "My Current Rack", "My Future Rack", "My Future Future Rack", etc.

Rather than making multiple racks, let users tag the modules in their base rack as "current", "future", "next", "drumwish", "2016", etc.
A toggle that switches between those variants then would dim the modules not having the tag corresponding to the toggle setting.

Is this the rack you are referring to?
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/synth/153674/954

There are no TrueGrid playable modules in it. Only a little selection of modules work in TrueGrid, check the "Playable in TrueGrid" option in the ModuleBrowser to see them.

Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net


Also, when I hit F12 the Audio API thing says it is supported under the console tab.


I have used it on other computers just fine, but on my computer it always loads up my rack and then just stays there. It doesn't even finish loading the images, because they are blurry (but I can still see my modules). Nothing happens when I click or do anything, and no error is given.

JavaScript is turned on, and I am using Chrome. Any help?

  • Like I said, I beta tested the 4ms Row Power, the Intellijel and the Tiptop Studio Zeus. All were pretty good. There a a couple of instances with some digital modules (Pamelas workout, trigger riot) still make slight noise on their own. This wouldn't happen with a linear supply. In my situation, I put those in a 3u case that is only sequencing modules, no sound processing/generation)
  • -- exper

4ms Row Power is clean

yes you should isolate your modules if you can

1FX ,audio i/o

2VCO

3 sequencing (trigger,gate,cv,lfo,env....)

Alright this is something I need to investigate myself too because I'll be using it solely to record its output and use it for post production. What is to your knowledge an ultra quiet one if not the Intellijel we spoke about?


I have replacements. They still hum. ;)

At this point I have to get rid of them, because I hardly want to record anything.

The problem, some will say 'mine is quiet'. Then you go listen to their soundcloud page and it's an Armageddon sized racket of noise and redlined levels. Of course they won't know if there's hum then. ;)


*lots of complaints about unwanted hum and noise with the MN busboards.

isn't this a PAST issue ??
with the first shared system

i thought this was fixed ?
i spoke with tony , when he was in Montreal last summer
and he seemed aware of the problem with older busboards
i think it has more to due with running the power supply to close to i't limit

i have picked up a used SS
it was one of the first generations and it was unusable for live use (hum and noise)

the shared system was redesigned since then
the one i tried at MOOG AUDIO with ROSIE was very quiet in the headphones and on the PA

you should contact MAKE NOISE directly and ask TONY about the issue.


extra knobs !!! YES
the design is getting better all the time

Yes. That's a very good Supply. Lots of headroom for better performance. I beta tested those and the results were good. I've also used the tiptop studio Zeus and can recommend that as well.
