I don't think there's necessarily anything extraneous here. I still worry about lack of variety, but it's also looking like you're well covered.
Don't forget that the Atlantis actually has two really good VCOs, so you've actually got 5 in the rack, in addition to other sources that can oscillate fast enough to produce sound, though they may not track. I think at least one VCO should be something that you're really excited about, but you could possibly swap one out for something else.
Since you've got the quad VCLFO, I wonder if the other two LFOs could be swapped for something like a Maths.
Maaybe a bit more in the filter department for variety. They are really going to color your sound in enjoyable ways. Are there any others that you're excited about? I added the Wasp for fun, but you can always swap that out for something that you find interesting.
I'm glad to see Peaks in there. The 'menu diving' that it does have can be frustrating sometimes, but it comes with a handsome manual and I use it in pretty much every patch.
Even though you've got the Linix in there, I was thinking that 4 VCAs for audio, and 4 VCAs for your modulation intensity could be good. A number of manufacturers have quad VCAs, like the Doepfer one in the other rack. I'll add the others I've seen.

Some stuff you could swap for:
- Maths or the Make Noise Function, which is like half a Maths minus the mixer. Having voltage control over the rise, fall, and 'both' gives you really interesting modulation options that aren't quite the same as a VCLFO.

Here's another demo from the prototype/breadboard E370. Says designer Paul Schreiber, "the sounds the breadboard can generate is about 10% of what the final one can do".

The Kickstarter campaign will be launched Feb 2017 - more info at www.synthtech.com :

Smooth transaction with @demyottens, thanks very much!

I can recommend alien, mnpzn, kansha, strat & p_ache. Bought several stuff from each of those lovely people and never had any problems.

Got a Rosie from @octon. Excellent communication and quickly shipped.

had a great trade with @zvuku!

What module can you tell me for ambient/drone and sound desing rack ?
Thanks

Thx mt3. Pickit3 purchased and got there in the end....at last, :)

The manual says 25mA max.

Hi all!

I am quite new to the world of modular madness, but I want to dive in deeply with a project I have in mind for a few months now. I want to do concerts with piano improvisations, playing against or with drones and rhythm patterns from a modular system.

My requirements are:
- not too sophisticated options, because I need to control the drones at the same time as my piano playing
- very good audio quality, for recording along with an acoustic grand piano
- the complete system should fit in a 2x84 case
- no need of an additional laptop
- MIDI clock out for an optional drummer, who needs to get a MIDI click from the system

For example I like the sound of the Erica Fusion series. The video of their Drone Rack is quite cool. Also the new Octasource looks promising, although I think it would not meet my request for an easy to control system.

I have the rack and a Moog Mother 32 as basis. And I am completely about what you modular-pros would recommend.
Hope this is going to be a nice conversation.

Thanks,
TheMM

Simple Pluk patch...uses Braids internal VCA, decay set to 13

the description states:
- current +12: ?mA

how much voltage does the SPA needs?

This is other stuff i am thinking about getting this is not a complete rack.

This is all of the modules that i can get my hands on and build within my price budget. I dont have the pcbs for some of the modules mostly the stuff on the top left but i thinking about the possibilities. And this is what i have.

@seasway - a great transaction for a Lifeforms SV1.. packed well and shipped immediately. Thanks!

Oh! I missed that link.
Thank you for kindly telling me.

More, inexpensive VCAs since you'll potentially have so many voices, you'll want more for controlling intensity of modulation.
Unity mixer for mixing triggers together.
Clock dividers for triggering events at later defined times - may not need these as much with a BeatStep Pro since you can use a channel to essentially program your own.
Envelope follower for taking outside sources and converting their changes in volume/amplitude into a voltage. Plug guitar in, strike a string; the sharp attack and moderate decay can be sent to a filter's cutoff, etc.
More inexpensive noise and sample & hold modules: noise for getting texture as a sound source, but also makes a great textural modulation source. Aging tape, foggy sounds.
Sample & hold uses a clock source and an input to create stepped voltages. It's great for random modulation timed to a rhythm. You could subtly modulate the length of an envelope that's tied to a rhythm sound, providing little fluctuations in how long it rings out.

Sorry for apparently necroing this thread but I'd like to chyme in now that the brilliant panel swap option has been applied. I've been meaning to ask: is there a way we (as users) can start merging modules? Most of the times the different versions available only have panel/design as the main difference whereas all other characteristics remain intact (or should be equivalent).

I wouldn't mind helping reduce the clutter by merging some modules in one and being able to change the panel (as is already available).

Thanks

Just wanted to second this notion. I visit MG through the mobile a lot and I need to apply ninja skills to avoid moving a module (thank goo I don't have sausage fingers!). :) So yeah, if/when this is an option that will be great.

@vendenperros was a great user to make deals with

really nice guy!

Yes, the 4ms (PEG) pingable envelope generator is useful as it creates envelopes and divisions of envelopes in time with a clock pulse. Modulation with no way to sync to a tempo can be limiting.

I'm not familiar with the Tempi, but it looks very interesting!

Here is a useful video on practical uses for clock dividers by Mylar Melodies.

I would also highly recommend checking out Mylar Melodies channel; he is very good at explaining modular concepts.

Regarding the sequential switch
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/doepfer-a-151-rev-2

Thanks for the reply. By PEG do you mean the pingable enevelope generator? Its 20 hp. I dont really have enough room. I got a few more thinks this morning. You mentioned a clock divider. I got Tempi. I also got a Wogglebug. Will that introduce the randomness to switching? I dont know what a sequential switch is and I couldn't find out how to look it up. Could you give me a name. I went a little crazy this morning. I also got an Octone and another VCA. Again thanks for the help.

EDITED Jan 22nd 2017, 22:20

I'm guessing you use some kind of external step sequencer? if so, maybe something to orchestrate all these modules rhythmically; time sync'ed modulation is very useful! 4ms PEG is good for this! plus a clock divider and maybe a sequential switch to mix things up a bit. Also look to introduce some randomness to your switching.

Trying to get into the Eurorack gig after I get my income tax. Wondering if this is a good start? I want to go with Trogotronic's m-168 case though. Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to go for a drone/noise/ambient sound

It was great making deals with user @berth9999

Really nice guy!

I think I got a pretty good on a Jones O'Tool Oscilloscope deal with @ping_panic. Priced much lower than 80% of scheiders I see a lot. And almost new. (Foil still on the display.) Boxed very good. Good communication. Good deal. :-)

Watch out when dealing with @ping_panic
I was the first to reply, I accepted his request for two modules and than he dumped me for a higher bid.
Not cool at all!

seeing this new version now leaves me a little disappointed. not sure any more if it is the mixer which would suit my requirements best. what happened to the old deign? there's only four channels now; on a larger footprint.........ummm.....

Thank you for the link to the dual, Mopoco! I'll drop it in for the moment until I take a photo of my own module and upload it to my modular on here. The Neutron Sound one will be a little closer to what my implementation actually is.

(I should actually photo a few of the DIY panels, to more accurately represent my modular as well.)

I look into this.

Hi, for like two weeks now I'm getting multiple E-Mails for each item on my watchlist ("Notifications"). Anyone else seeing that?

mq computer 2

updated - touch replaced by more "patch compose", as my virtuosoship is dedicated to a future instrument.
升级了——触摸替代为更多 “连线作曲”，因为我的演奏会专注于未来的一个乐器。

I escape from "endless possibilities", aiming for complexity I can handle, to avoid machines taking over expressions.
我逃离 “无穷的可能性”，力求自己能掌控的复杂程度，防止机器统治表达。

essentially, building a custom system is to set up workflow by reducing complexity.
组装客制化系统的核心目的，是通过降低复杂性而建立流程。

balance : don't want more, yet won't settle for less.
平衡 ：不需要更多，也不能更少。

too many wires so the faceplate won't close.
when I powered this unit up, I found complex noise at TR inputs of teletype coming from floating opamp inputs.
they travel through TR threshold so scripts may trigger randomly, even touching faceplate affects it.
a bit daunting at first, soon replaced by curiosity of exploring unusual expresssions.
里面线太多，合不上面板了。
接电之后我发现在 teletype 的 TR 输入端有复杂的噪音信号，它们来自浮空的运放输入。
这些信号在输入的阈值上下浮动，所以不同的脚本被随机地触发。触摸模块面板竟然会影响这些动作。
一开始感觉有些可怕，不过很快被其中可挖掘的不寻常表现力吸引了。

btw, it's ceremonious to have designs of peter, gil, brian, oliver in a small box.
在同一个小盒中放入这四个人的作品有种仪式感。
