Hey all, I'm looking to fill out my 6u 88hp synth, made mostly for generative ambient style music. I have a focus on adding more utility and control over my sounds, and hope that what I've come up with is relatively self-sufficient/not lacking in some notable aspect. The first link is my current set of modules, and the second is what I envision for my endgame. Please let me know what you think!
Ah, I'm not sure what's going on with the second image, but it is messed up for me. UBurst is supposed to be in the empty space, and below it is Mutable Branches!
Some thoughts:
1) I think I'd swap the Nin and VCF3 for an analog oscillator, maybe an Instruo Ts-L. IMHO Nin loses it's oomph in a generative rack, and you don't need three filters, so an analog oscillator (always a nice thing to have around) is a nice replacement that can help create some contrast with Plaits and Rings.
2) I like Cold Mac, but for your purposes here I'd probably just get a Links and Kinks, they do a lot and it's all grok-able.
3) Rosie seems too big for what you're aiming for here, I'd replace it with an ALM HPO which gives you 6 more HP.
4) Since the quad VCA cascades I'm not sure you need the mixer. I'd pick something interesting like a wavefolder or distortion module (Instruo Tanh or something from Noise Engineering maybe), or pull some more effects into the rack like an FX aid (a common recommendation).
Hope this helps!
