Do you have a list of all your gear at the moment? I'm interested as you seem to have been picking up a few bits. |

Ain't got the dough at the mo but I've been looking at a squarepusher type of setup. Akai s6000, Eventide FX, akg spring reverb... For the Eventide h3000 series can be upgraded to have all the presets. The dsp4500 has all the 4000 series presets and the h8000 looks good with the remote. I'm shit at programming custom patches so the h3000 is where im looking at first. There's a doepfer club in Bristol called emis music that sells monster cases for cheap. You can get a plain wooden eurorack case for 549 which stores 6 rows of eurorack. |

Teisco 60f lush pwm single vco monosynth, can find these for £350-400 Roland mpu 101 midi cv gate, probably not worth the money, you can get eurorack ones for cheaper these days. Eurorack https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/953323 Akai vx 600 broken the volume pot is broken, needs replacing, causes distortion making the synth unusable. all the pads on this album were made with it https://umbromaniii.bandcamp.com/album/rags-acid Atari ste 520 4mb ram with satandisk and sm124 monitor i use a piece of sequencing software called sequencer plus one, it can load midi files. very useful for programming on the laptop as a midi file then copying over to the atari st to get the tight midi timing and sync. https://umbromaniii.bandcamp.com/album/merchant-navy-acid Marion msr 2 https://umbromaniii.bandcamp.com/album/merchant-navy-acid all the pads were done on the msr 2 Roland tb 303 broken,only capable of 1,2,3,or 4 bar loops Roland tr 808 broken, only capable of up to 16 bar loops Roland tr 909 broken memory battery holder, doesn't backup memory on power off Elektron digitakt fucking great for playing live,limited to 4bar loops https://umbromaniii.bandcamp.com/album/digitrax Joyo pedals analogue delay, bbd chorus, phaser, digital delay cost about £20 each Yamaha ys 100 havent used this much yet,the presets are awesome,needs a new battery for custom presets, has to be programmed with a laptop or atari st basically a 4op fm synth with pitch env and simple fx. the tx81z doesnt have a pitch env. |

oh yeah i've still got: roland d110, drexciya used this, it's a dirt cheap digital rompler with synth section. i havent really used it on a track yet. they cost £75 or less doepfer ms 404, had the power supply modified,got it for sale on ebay atm £220 fostex spring reverb 3180 with missing cap on one of the pots. for sale £220 on ebay atm. yamaha qy300 sequencer, i use it mainly for the piano keys to control and test stuff out. much prefer the atari for sequencing. cost me about £60 in japan years ago.the floppy disk drive got damaged in my luggage bag. |

just the digitakt now |

I just took delivery of an 84hp skiff to expand my grandmother, gonna put in the modules tomorrow |
||||||||
|

|

was it doepfer?stick your modules on modulargrid :-) there are eurorack bargains to be had on ebay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I planned it on modular grid, about 50% doepfer ATM. The teisco looks dope, going to keep an eye out for one |
||||||||
|
|

|

i have one timo rozendal 3340 cem vco too in my eurorack, modulargrid doesnt list it. and i have a 2hp digital delay which is really cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's a few teiscos on reverb.com the teisco 110f is worth about £1000-£1100 the teisco 60f £350-£400 you can knock them down people always ask for stupid prices |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I looked at the 2hp stuff, am tempted to swap my dreadbox delay for a few 2hp effects instead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how are you going to sequence that setup? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
equinox vco and vcf are cheap i didnt rate their envelope design their vca and lfo are probably not bargains the vco and lowpass vcf are really good designs though |
||||||||

Tempo locked beatstep, microfreak and grandmother. Also bitwig. |
||||||||
|
|

Although microfreak has a complex enough sequencer to do everything I want with that synth |

also been looking at the yamaha fs1r, they sell for about £600 if you knock them down it's a 4 part multitimbral synth used by squarepusher on go plastic, it has 8 formant filters and 8 op fm synthesis but you need to program it with an external programmer to get the most out of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joJzReGLETs i think he used it for the acid line on this track, i wish you obelisk im tempted to stick it on my list but im probably not talented enough to get the most out of it, i think i might as well use my yamaha ys100 and try to get used to fm synthesis before messing with formant synthesis |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this thing is cool, but way too overpriced … funny, the last time i looked they were costing much more bcos of hype. just found one for 650 euro (which is still more than i would pay) there are also new fm synths popping up like this one |
||||||||
|

nothing worse than buying an expensive piece of kit that just sits there on the shelf |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im too afraid of that so i buy nothing over 600 bucks. and im hesitating with modular but honestly im very close to spending my savings on some sometimes stuff sits on you for months and then you take the time to get into it and explosion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I ummed and ahhed about it for years but I have 4 or 5 boxes with CV on them now and it's an obvious extension of max/bitwig so I just thought fuck it, especially as I have the organelle and can transfer some of my max sequencers to pd and work completely outside the computer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Having said that I still think I'd probably have been better off getting 3 semi modulars for the same price. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you had a look at the marion msr 2? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i think you did a good job with your modular rack. lots of modulation possibilities at a pretty good price. i hope you will post some snippets of what you will do with the thru zero osc. im interested. i also didn't know about the milky way module. a small stereo effect with modulation possibilities? pretty ace! |

(I just typed up a big thing and then zilty shitted it. 2nd attempt:) Hello, gentlemen. If I may join in... Umbro, did you build all those GSMN modules yourself? Or what attracted you to the brand? Just curious. How do you like the Doepfer VC Phase Shifter? Do you use that as an FX or to modulate CV? Both? Neither? Indie, that looks like a great and fun starter (finisher?) eurorack. I love the sound of the Wasp filter, but apparently it's got a habit of randomly frying one if its IC's. It's an inherently unstable circuit, wouldn't you know... So I've been too afraid to buy one. Do you have the Milky Way module already? Seemed like those new endorphines modules were just announced. Very interested in the FX types in that and how they sound. Here's my thing, if anyone's interested . The only discrepancies are that I don't own the 2hp Freez, haven't built my DIY Arcade yet, and have a Loafers for LFO rather than the 4ms QPLFO (which I eventually intend to pair with the QCD). I'm open to any suggestions for better CV modulation/mangling stuff. I've nearly bought like 4 different "Random" modules but I think perhaps I'm less interested in random than I am in complex but predictable waveshapes/envelopes. Dunno... I'm also endlessly annoyed by the current 2hp gap in my case. Considering pulling the EOS and replacing it with something in 4hp. Thoughts? |

A guy from muffwiggler built 8 modules for me for 600 euros. It was an open source thing but the developer dumped it and has gone commercial again with the brand equinox. His VCO and lowpass VCF are good and cheap. I gave the gmsn env a 1/5 on modular grid and the designer was insulted, instead of changing the design he kept it as is. "It takes few mad for genius." The GMSN sequencer and quantizer are amazing. Sadly I didn't get the quantizer module. I've got GMSN down in my watch list on ebay,I'm especially looking out for the quantiser. Somebody offered me a GMSN filter recently on modular grid but I didn't know how to reply to him. I bought two other GMSN modules off of ebay, one was an older type VCO done discretely, it's hard to tune because it doesn't have a fine tune knob. Paid about £50 from a guy in Poland. And a basic LFO with tri and square outputs.Paid £35 ish from a guy in uk. The phase shifter is good when you use it with its own LFO. I use the two bandpass filters to get a similar effect. I just use the phaser on audio signals. Never thought to use it on cv, not sure what would happen. https://umbromaniii.bandcamp.com/album/merchant-navy-acid On this album there's a monophonic line on each track coming from the timo rozendal vco (Very beautiful pwm) going through either the phaser or the two band pass vcfs. |

if you don't already use your disting for it, i would suggest a dedicated S/H module. 2HP has one |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
you guys are geniuses,genii? whatever i dont understand what half these modules do. i guess they have more than one function. |

The milky way arrives in two weeks, that and the second passive mult are replacing the dreadbox echo that was in that spot. I was in two minds about the wasp but as it's a cheaper module and the box is to supplement a moog I thought it'd be good to add a bit of colour. |

Me: You meant EON, not EOS. Umbro: Oh, I am so very far from a genius. I don't know whether the VC Phaser is even dc-coupled (can process CV) but I'm just trying to keep an open mind as people on Muffwiggler repeatedly remind me how narrow my imagination is when deciding what to patch to what... (There are supposedly no limits to the experimentation with dc-coupled modules.) Figured you might be using the phaser in some weird way I wouldn't expect. I enjoyed your write-up on the GMSN modules; got a chuckle out of seeing that the rating on the Env is still 1/5 on modular grid with your 1 vote. I do think those Equinox modules sound very good, if a bit big and empty on the panel space. DADONCK: I've actually got (rudimentary) S&H covered by the Neutron, so I was thinking more of smooth random rather than stepped, or "complex" random like Mutable Marbles or SSF Ultra Random Analog. But I'm having a hard time understanding what is supposed to be different about smooth random than just slewing the rate of change on a stepped S&H module... (see Umbro, I'm pretty much a noob). And no matter how many times I look at the SSF U.R.A. I never can tell what anything is or does. Indie: Hopefully I didn't take the wind out of your sails on the Wasp. With any luck yours will be worry-free. I bet it sounds sweet on the Moog! Would you post an update when you get the Milky Way to let us know your thoughts? |

the doepfer sem is about the same price as the wasp and does the same thing practically with less distortion |

I'm excited to get this stuff sorted and start making music again, ain't really done much this year. Gotta move house over the next fortnight though. How boring |

any of you guys done research into eventide fx? mermaidman brought up the h3000 in a thread a few months ago, anyone else have one or used an eventide? there's a good thread on muffwiggler from someone who used to work for eventide. and there was a deece article on reverb.com about the h3000 series. https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79265 https://reverb.com/news/tech-behind-eventide-h3000-ultra-ha rmonizer |

i played around with the Eventide H8000FW cause a friend bought one and didn't know how to use it i myself am fine with this. sean costello knows what he's doing other than that i love my empress reverb. its like putting a dramatic magnifier on sounds. if i want gritty and different i throw stuff through a midiverb ii or a zoom 1201. both can be had for 30 bucks |
