@HGsynth — Thanks for the reply!
1. I'm using two Doepfer A-100 cases (4 rows of 84hp)...not necessarily looking to expand immediately...more of thinking of how i can optimize this rack and reduce redundancy.
2. I do have a lot of external gear, but i'm using this rack more as a standalone instrument. Occasionally i'll experiment with throwing guitar pedals in the chain.
3. Musical goals are really just learning more. I have some Elektron boxes, an Arturia Minifreak, Moog subharmonicon, and the Moog grandmother. Modular has inspired me through the unique interactions with the instrument and with the modules themselves. I love surprising myself, realizing new sounds or patterns I can get with interesting patching I hadn't thought of before, and learning more about deeper functions.
5. Yes on those suggestions! I had been thinking about a matrix mixer because I know hardly anything about them, but it seems like another one of those "possibilities are endless" tools. I will check out the T-43. I had been trying to stay away from O&C just because I want to do less menu-diving....although I know it's an amazing jack of all trades.

This is great feedback! You hit the nail on the head with what i was thinking in terms of expanding functionality or exploring new tools like the matrix mixer.


hi, all,

Looking for general feedback here. What am i'm lacking? What would you change? I'm still relatively new to modular. More of a reformed guitarist/drummer that's just been experimenting with synths for the last two years.

A couple of notes:
Genre wise I like generative ambient, noise, and experimental.
External Gear I have a Syntakt to cover drums, and the makenoise 0-ctrl and Korg SQ-1.
Modules I could part with: Data Bender, one of the delays (nautilus or mimeophon), Tides
Things I'm considering: More envelopes? another interesting osc? Or deeper logic functions?
Additional note: Still developing my understanding of deeper functions ("deeper" from a "beginner's" perspective). For instance, I just recently got a seq switch and the Joranaloge Compare 2--both of which have been blowing my mind in the possibilities.

Thanks!
