Can swap Ferry for Sono Abitus or MSCL
Can swap Ansible + Crow for Chimera
Can swap Black Sequencer for Drum Sequencer

16hp options:
* WMD Sequential Switch Matrix
* Manhattan Analog Manual Voltage Processor
* Mordax DATA


Really a lot of possibilities from this starting point:
* Crow + Clank Chaos
* Chords with Qubit Chord V2 or Instruo Saich and a DPLPG
* Effects/sampling with Qubit Databender or Squarp Rampler or Erica Sample Drum
* Lead voice with Qubit Surface + WMD C4RBN or Black LXD
* Nasty bass shenanigans with Noise Engineering Virt Iter + Bastl Ikarie
* More drums with Sy0.5 + Ochd/RndStep OR Fracture + Axys


Doepfer A-151 or Manhattan Analog Mix would make good potential swaps for Links.

This loses Temps Utile, Chance, Optomix, and O/A/x2 but moves the sequencing in-case via Meadowphysics and White Whale.


The remaining 20hp would be good for: Tetrapad, Qubit Synapse, or Instruo's upcoming ER-301 related faders/gates module.
Though that Instruo is 22hp so I would probably need to ditch both Chance and Ornament and Crime and then fill in the remaining 6hp with what, Intellijel Shifty?

Alternately, could get the Harmonaig Quantizer and Wogglebug, ditch O&C and Chance.

Links/Lxd/MA Mix are all good 4hp options to pair with E352 if I ditched ER-301.


What if we:
* Remove Akemie's, Lxd, Batumi, Samara, Belgrad (76)
* Add Marbles, Plaits, Verbos Multi Delay (58) and some Attenuation and Modulators?

Dependent on 3U control skiff for sequencing but damn if this isn't basically everything else I want besides filters in one case.

Swap:
* Akemie's Castle for STO/STO/Peaks/Tides
* Discrete SVVCF for Belgrad

This could use some more envelopes/modulation but needs VCAs like crazy.

Getting a Maths and a Dynamix in here and dropping Chronoblob or LoFi Junkie might be the ticket.

Ditching 122hp total and probably making around $2200. Maybe hang on to Shades and Nano Rand though.

I would sideline:

  • Frames which is in Canada with Aaron.
  • White Whale to swap with Ansible or Earthsea
  • Ripples to swap with Optomix/O'Tool
  • Peaks to swap with Optomix/O'Tool
  • Lxd because you can't have enough LPGs

Some 4hp utilities could be useful if we go this route:
* Circuit Abbey G8
* Brain Seed
* A-151 Sequential Switch
* Mutable Links


Previously: Independent box w/ Meadowphysics, Teletype, Peaks, STO, STO, Lxd, Cold Mac, Discrete SVVCF, LoFi Junkie, DLD.
Currently: Control skiff for 6U w/ Switch, Meadowphysics, Teletype, White Whale, Earthsea, Ansible, Ornament & Crime, Just Friends, ER-301.

Old notes for independent design

Love the idea, main thing I might change is trying to use Cold Mac to swap with the O'Tool+ or Samara to swap with the LoFi Junkie and rearrange a little for more CV manipulation. Between Peaks and Teletype I think I can get by on modulation.
Especially if I pair with Doze in the Branches or Bloom in the Depths.

I do wish I could get Earthsea in here though. And the Mangroves, Sisters, Cold Mac travel case is immensely tempting.
But realistically, dual STOs, Lxd, and a Cold Mac is probably the way to go. Pam's new workout is same size but meadowphysics is already our clock and I feel like there'd be some awkwardness there.

It's also sort of tempting to get the ER-301 in the "Techno" case/Bloom in the Depths by swapping out E350 + Braids but not convinced there are sufficient modulation sources if we do that and there's no need for Braids/E350 in Doze in the Branches.


Could do Drezno or Arpitecht instead of MA-35


Thread: The Isms

Could swap Quadra with:

  • O/A/x2 and O'Tool+
  • Ansible and Shades
  • Double Ansibles for Grid + Arc action

Would miss things like Batumi, Chance, Basimilus, Belgrad, Granular/Sampling modules
But this is incredibly focused, versatile, dense. If only I could buy an Isms case + Spring tank.

Favorite modular folks:

I actually super like this layout.
Leaning away from ER-301 even though it is a gorgeous and capable machine.
Now pondering Varigate-8/E350 or Voltage Block/Triatt/E350. Going Varigate.

Oubliette has 7 offsets/attenuverters and 5 VCAs not counting the internal VCAs in the dual Mangroves and Tides.
Nostalgia for Infinity has 4 offsets/attenuverters/VCAs from Frames and 3 VCAs from Optomix/Ripples.
Lots of sequencing options and plenty of attenuation built in on Akemie's Castle/URA but that's still on the soft side.

Something awkward about having SVVCF and Ripples. But Ripples acts as a VCA and SVVCF as a mixer.
Would love to ditch Ripples but don't want SVVCF droning and want both channels of Optomix for Akemie's.
This suggests I want more VCAs. Could automate with Frames? I might like the idea of Frames more than using it though.
Sidelining Ripples (and maybe URA or Frames) could be reasonable if it lets me swap in some alternative modulation + VCAs.

Buy:
* Get unpowered Submodular 208 to replace the Move 208?
* Get Malekko Power Supply. Or Intellijel TPS80?
* Voltage Block
* 6hp Dual VCA. New Xaoc one/Moddemix/uVCA?

Maybe get my hands on:
* Arpitecht
* Loquelic Iteritas
* Morphagene? Or 4ms Sampler? Or Enso?
* Audio Damage Eos? (Swap for Erbe Verb?)

Less likely:
* Pamela's New Workout?
* Beast's Chalkboard?
* Blinds?
* SSF Spectrum?

Pretty boops I will not buy:
* Xaoc Praga
* Intellijel Triatt
* Synth Tech E102/E330
* Mutable Links
* Manhattan Analog Mix
* Ultrafold
* Toppobrillo Stereomixer
* Argos Bleak
* Eloquencer


This leaves out:

  • Mini Slew
  • Ripples
  • Earthsea
  • Disting
  • Morphing Terrarium

But gets better mixing and filtering from SVVCF and multiple envelopes from Quadra. Shame to lose Earthsea and E350 though.


Stashed:
* Rene
* E350

Braids could be replaced by Peaks, Links, and an A-151. A-151 would help for interesting melodic variation, Links would help tie things together, Peaks is drums or modulation depending on patch/day of the week. That does bring us down to just Akemie's and/or self-oscillating filters as a voice though.

Still worried a tad that there's not enough modulation as is. Or rather, all current modulation is either sequencing or random.
Can always swap out the E350 for Braids if I want an amazing LFO. Think we leave as is for a few weeks.

Basimilus Alter or Drumbrute would be cool but can do sample stuff with ER-301 or add in post on computer.


This gets rid of Mother and Erbe Verb but otherwise leads to a pretty nice case. Worth considering.

The previous Mother+Erbe option pushed out Rene+Frames+Eos+URA+BrainSeed.

Could potentially have a Drumbrute external and then swap Basimilus/Eos for Erbe+4hp...


Thread: MangleNation

Basimilus Iteritas Alter makes an ideal companion to swap in and out of this rack.

Though it would be nice to be able to keep the Ultra Random as well. :-/
Could always swap the BIA into Straylight for the Zvex Lo Fi Junky instead.


This patch wound up being a lot of fun to explore though I'm still not to the "generative" point where I feel like I've composed meaningfully changing songs. Still a lot of flexibility in this routing.

Ansible/Kria driving in preset 1, pattern 5. Mangrove is the lead in constant formant mode with Braids providing bass and peaks is Drums. Braids is in WLIN mode and Mangrove has constant formant on. I played with having my 2nd Mangrove be another voice or either syncing or FM-ing the main mangrove but wound up discarding the additional complexity. Not worth its weight.

Just Friends and Sisters wind up being the main points of control for this patch as a little variation to the Curve, Intone or Time knobs produces a lot of difference in feel of the sequence.

* Tip Top Quantizer?
* MI Warps?
* Ornament and Crimes?
* Control Forge?
* Monome Arc?

Maybe Sell:
* Rene
* Erbe Verb
* Mother-32

This video makes an Arc and a ER-301 seem like a really tempting pair. But I think I can get away with either using the grid to similar effect or touch fun with Rene. Arc would be nice but ain't nobody got $$$ for that.

Rene and Erbe Verb are valuable enough that selling them to fund ER-301 sounds pretty good. Would be a bit of a bummer though.


The Dave Jones here should actually be an Optomix whose strike inputs are being hit from the envelopes from Just Friends.

Braids is in CSAW mode being driven by the White Whale sequencer playing one of the built-in major CV scale sequences, currently saved as pattern 1 on the CV B output. Maths is the control center in the patch and is self-patched to alter rise times/envelope lengths to, primarily, the FM and Gain on Ripples, as well as feedback in the delay and some self-patching.

Particular points of fun on this patch are messing with the VCAs (both veils and optomix), playing with the Log->Exp knobs on Maths especially right near the "Linear" boundry, and messing with Delay settings on the DLD. One thing I haven't done yet but should is play with subphrases on the White Whale and possibly drunken walk pattern navigation.


Can always swap Rene/Tempi for Ansible/Teletype/ErbeVerb.

Intellijel 4U case? Make Noise Skiff gives 20hp more room for maths or URA/Samara.

With the MN Skiff it could be: Tempi, Rene, Disting, Tides, Terrarium, Optomix, Verb.
Then can always swap Brainseed for Disting, Teletype+Ansible+Samara+URA for Tempi/Rene.


To Consider

Get Chronoblob to swap with LoFi Junkie?

Misc Notes

Could always swap DLD with Erbe Verb.
Could be nice to swap O'Tool+ with Optomix.

  • Need more attenuation/VCAs here.
  • Mixing, Sampling, are unanswered questions re: Oubliette / Nostalgia for Infinity.
    • Stereomix Toppobrillo still seems an ideal mixer.
    • ER-301 is where I lean sample wise though the 4ms Dual Sampler could be good. Rossum stuff hasn't floated my boat.

Interesting 12Us / Instagram peeps I like


Still needs Samara.

  • Potentially get an Ansible to swap with White Whale?
  • Rosie could be replaced with Brain Seed + Disting OR 2 Pico Drums + Buffered Mult.


Options for last 8HP:
Cold Mac
Jones O'Tool+
Rosie


Quadra over Peaks/Disting? Less multifunctional == more focused.
Basimilus Iteritas may be a more appropriate choice for focus.

Actually, I really like the idea of swapping Peaks/Disting for Batumi/Samara based on mood/day of week.
Or swapping Erbe Verb with Batumi/Samara in either case. Still not sure what I'm doing with Ultra Random Analog. :-/

Buy: Samara, Teletype.
Sell Trigger Man (160), Cold Mac (160) and uVCA II (130)? Can't on muffwiggler, try modulargrid itself!


Peaks/Veils currently. Samara to be added. Could swap Peaks with O'Tool+ or Cold Mac.
Using Tangle Quartet in lieu of Veils frees up 4HP doesn't solve problems like: No Drums, not enough VCAs, or not enough Offset/Attenuation/Polarizing.

Could presumably sell O/A/x2, uVCA II, and Dual ADSR from current case to support this.

No uScale or Elements but I'm cool with that I think. No room for Terrarium. Biggest issue is that we need more VCAs (though it would be nice to have another filter). But it's close to just right... Worth thinking about some more. Everything in one rack, consolidates a bit. Less portable but could keep the structure 208 case if I ever want to take the modular out somewhere. Might be able to go sans mixer with Praga in place.

* Malekko Mix 4 (3) - $110 new

Flaws

Still needs more attenuation and another filter would be nice. If we could fit the Xaoc Samara that would be great. If not, Tangle Quartet could do in a pinch. Optomix Rev 2 might be nice as well, allows sidechaining or acts as a Low Pass Gate, and could let us get away with swapping a buffered mult in for Mix4. That winds up with a nice case though more attenuation would sure af help.

Possibilities

The only thing this case lacks compared to Straylight is a good verb/erbe. Frames/Brainseed esque stuff is handled by Earthsea, non-granular cloudy magic is done with DLD, drums with Peaks, physical modeling through Elements, crazy clocking and sequencing options from Meadowphysics and Teletype, modulation galore from Batumi, Just Friends, and URA, endless Timbre exploration with Mangrove and Morphing Terrarium.

Worth?

Lose 2 HP overall and costs ... well, another 2200 more dollars. T_T Praga, Teletype, Elements, and O'Tool+ are the big pieces.

Assuming I get Teletype everything else can be done with the current case as is. Would be nice to have a uScale for quantizing, peaks for Drums or O'Tool+ for visualization but the rest certainly isn't necessary. Hell, I could swap Rings for Morphing Terrarium whenever I tire of wavetables. Praga is nice to make the rig more portable (no mixer) and make the mixing/muting more "playable" but even that definitely isn't a necessity.

That said, I could sell the O/A/x2, uVCA, Cold Mac, and Dual ADSR for 500 or so. Could get another 500 for the Mother. That brings it down to just an additional 1200 bucks. :-(


Hypothetically could replace Earthsea/uVCA II with Veils. But no Earthsea for Rings? Hmm... :-/

Stillson just wasn't working for me. Swapped it out to complete Monome/Mannequins lineup (WW/Meadowphysics/Just Friends).

Cool modules I won't get: Mutable Streams/Elements, Akemie's Castle, SVVCF/MA35, Quad Temporal Shifter, Praga.

Old Notes

Nailed it. Was at some point considering Discrete OTA VCF in lieu of Quad Temporal Shifter, but this is better.
Meh, changed out Quad Temporal Shifter for SVVCF. Changed out Chronoblob for Dub Jr Mk 2.

Replaced MI Branches with DubJr Mk 2 because Chronoblob is too much HP and Clocked Delay > Bernoulli Gates.
Replace Discrete OTA VCF with Quad Temporal Shifter? Already have Moog and Three Sisters for filters.
* Could always get the VCF later and swap as needed.
Replace Linix with Tangle Quartet and O'Tool?

Still never get: Branches, Shades, Quantum Rainbow, Chronoblob, Warps, Yarns, OmniMod, uScale,
Discrete VCF, Telharmonic, O'Tool, Tangle Quartet, Hats, Variatic Erumption.
