Yeah guys I totally didn’t realize I was “displaying” my rack and I was only using the grid for myself. So I don’t really feel like I needed to give anyone “context”. But if someone is offering to help eventhough I didn’t ask for it I’ll still take it! 😎. Regarding creating an “instrument” that works for me....I’ve never really looked at my eurorack as a singular musical instrument. I look at my synths with keys like that but not my rack. I like euro bc you can do so much in a smaller space. I admit I was very very rookie when I bought most of these modules. I had traded a vintage analog synth for store credit and just started going for modules that I felt suit my needs and I think I did a pretty good job. I won’t lose much money if I need to sell something and get something else. Utilities were an afterthought and wanted to get comfy with euro before blindly buying them. My goal is to have some sort of a hybrid setup... half analog half digital modules with an emphasis on sampling- btw I run bitbox firmware on the synthbox for that. I was not going for a bleep bloop ambient rig or trying to make techno with a bunch of confusing logic. To me it’s a pretty cool workflow. I have plenty of cool sound sources that can be modulated then sampled, and also mangling audio samples from elsewhere. It’s like a big feedback loop, everything gets sampled then I can put those back through the rig or whatnot- morphogene cool for this. Experimental bass music is what i mess around with. Sometimes it turns into electro sometimes hip hop, whatever. Anyways UTILITIES- Jim you are right those are all very useful in any system. So wavefolder/shaper- I have the DPO with wavefolding, graphic vco I can “morph”, and Ofcourse the disting- guess you are saying a stand-alone wavefolding module for everything else? I don’t feel a need for a matrix mixer right now but can see it’s uses. I just Havnt felt the need to use logic/sequential switches at this point. I am fine so far creating movement with my sequencer and modulation. Attenuators for sure and I almost picked up a Levit8 8 channel one that had offset - what else do you recommend for this duty? Basic mixers- I started with that Doepfer mini stereo mixer but will prolly add a mixup or another Doepfer mixer. That SSF Vortices has a lot of I/O for mixing! Attenuverturs I have on a few modules. The 6 VCAs I have right now I Havnt grown out of but can always add more. But yeah I do feel like I can use more modulation sources. Maths, stages, voltage block, disting can be used but I want more. Any recommendations? And more tiggers maybe? I have Pam and beatstep pro. But yeah I have 44hp left in this rack and am focused on the small utility type modules now but am always a sucker for filters or analog vcos! Thanks for the advise!
