Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!

sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities

Ok, thanks. do you have some special in mind?


matrix mixer, sequential switch, kinks, logic and quite frankly all the other ones, it really depends on you

have a look at a few different types and try and work out how you would use them - particularly for modulation purposes (sa you mention that) - extending what you already have in more interesting ways than 'just getting another eg/lfo' by mixing, modifying, multing and switching

my other suggestion would be to spend the money on the next case - then you really won't care about the fact you only have 14 hp left

Actually, I see a problem here...first up, that Erica mixer in the top row seems like it does too much and is too big for a source submixer. Also, it has a compressor onboard...but you ALSO have a compressor module in the bottom row, and that can get dicey when trying to set up levels in a modular. And you're eventually heading for a stereo image by the time you're hitting your output stage.

Do this instead: pull the Erica. Replace it with Doepfer's Mini Stereo mixer, then add a second stereo mixer for the drums in the middle row. Once that's done, the FIRST mixer should feed VCAs #1 and 2 in the Veils, and the SECOND should feed #3 and 4. After that, then patch the individual VCAs from the Veils to the two stereo inputs on the MakeNoise crossfader, optionally using the FX Aid XL for the 1/2 feed and the little FX Aid for the 3/4. This way, you're in stereo once you get past the sources, with VCA level control all the way to your output via the Veils' VCAs.
