Thanks for reporting all this. I read it all and want to fix everything but everything is going slower than I wished.

As a user I want to be able to export a csv from the data sheet page, or hide specific columns in that view.

Not CSV but on the My Modular page you can get a XML page of your rack with all the modules. Just add .xml to the URL. (Unicorn feature)
I see it would make more sense with CSV and the data sheet page, that might come.

Please remove keybindings

this is already possible with the Keyboard Shortcuts switch in rack view?

Please detect mobile and enable lock by default for mobile

Good call

Please enable transferring of a module between cases

There is a workaround but (cough) keyboard shortcuts must be enabled for this. You can copy/paste modules between browser windows with the c and v shortcuts.

Thanks for supporting!

Straightforward build, though probably not best for your first or second. No surface mount.
Needs calibration, and you’ll need a scope, frequency counter, or good tuner to calibrate.

Works well, both for straight quantization and for interesting arpeggios with, say, an LFO as the voltage input. All in all a very useful unit.

Build

Heello, a few things that are a bit rough sometimes. For context I am a paid user and have been on the site for a few years, also work as a UI Eng

• Why would I ever need keybindings to flip or duplicate, or do anything on this site really. All it does it that randomly when I search for a module below, in case I lose focus of the search bar (which happens accidentally all the time), that it just hoses my whole rack - flipping things, duplicating things... deleting things - until I realize what I am doing. What was that cool module? We will never know, because no undo or history :)

• On mobile it doesn't seem to load a unique experience, so when trying to scroll thru your rack (not locked by default in mobile), again your rack is just hosed because it's dragging things around randomly and resorting, etc.

• Messages UI seems kinda clunky and I'm often struggling to find the specific message that actually contains the tracking # I'm looking for etc, maybe because the previous replies are contained in nested quote trees, if captured in the threads further replies at all.

Feature request stories:
- As a user I want to be able to transfer a module from one of my racks to another without needing to navigate away from my current view.
- As a user I want to be able to export a csv from the data sheet page, or hide specific columns in that view.

Probably known bug:
- Re-arranging indicators are unreliable and often end w/ modules being resorted even when it looks like they will settle in without conflict.

I realize you guys have actually recently implemented a bunch of things I was going to add here! I want to close with saying I love ModularGrid. The deeper and more familiar I become with the site, the more genius and awesome I realize it is. It's well thought out and it really enables the community to be consumer gluttons to the max. Obviously people here care, so I don't feel like I am wasting time by writing this, and hope folks know I come from a place of utter Kumbayance. If I can help clarify anything then plz let me know but my TLDR is:

Please remove keybindings
Please detect mobile and enable lock by default for mobile
Please enable transferring of a module between cases

Polyphony is possible but incredibly expensive and severely limited in modular. Saving presets is not a benefit of modular.
It sounds like what you want or need is a fixed architecture synth like the DSI Prophet Rev2 or something similar.
Have fun and good luck.

Hi,
Normally the busboards have a series of filters and components at the input. There they sell 16-pin adapters to terminals to be able to connect them at the entrance.

There are also some fonts that have terminal output, I think Modulaire Maritime https://www.modulairegrid.net/e/modulaire-maritime-cargo.

Sure - that's why I looked up the NANO bus board, which seems to be made to use in conjunction with the adapter you mentioned above (if I understood correctly !).

Hi guys, I’m new to “Modulars” and I want to Create my Own Sounds and Save the sounds I make as Presets so that I can return to them whenever I compose. On top of this (and more importantly), I want to be able to use Multiple Voices and Oscillators, whilst playing any Chord of choice - with as many notes as I want via a midi Keyboard - thus having complete control and endless possibilities with a “Modular Synth”.

Is it possible to do this with Modules? Is my only course of action to buy multiple units of the same ”Types” of modules in order for this to work? Or is there better, more efficient way of doing this without having to procure so many modules - whilst still being able to do everything that I want to do on a modular synth?

Thanking anyone, in advance, for any help and advice you may be able to give.

Technically it is a mixer if you use the "Aux" input.

Hi there,

I researched a bit in the Forum archives but couldn't seem to find anything related to this exact situation, so here I go :

I had a µZeus power module with 2 flying bus cables for a while, cheap & nice, but I need a little more power now.

I am leaning toward the Eowave source d'energie with a 4ms Power Brick, connecting to something like a Doepfer A-100 bus board with a 16-pin power cable - is this doable ? I mean can i plug the 16-pin cable to one of the inlets of the bus and have the power being transmitted to the others, like it seems to work on a flying bus cable, or is it not working like this at all ? I'm quite new to this :)

Thanks !

@Jukeshoe - thank you!

Bleeps and bloops machine of doom

Realise this is now a long time ago, but does anyone know if the MK2 expander will work with a MK1 Quadra? I'm guessing/hoping yes...

Does anyone know where I can find a video tutorial or review on the Maneco Labs Clusterverb? I don't see anything on YT or the maker's website.

OK, well i had them all named like starting with zeros and underscores what i wanted on top, now everything is messed up

Jim is correct, though, of course.

99% of the time, I think the Mantis would've been the way to go. It simply doesn't fit my space or workflow. :)

the other 1% of the time the space/workflow needs tweaking to fit...

-- JimHowell1970

Lol...

Sorry, not the "case" for me.
-- Jukeshoe

well - I can see how you would think that... resistance to change and resistance to expending effort to change, not seeing the wood for the trees etc...

anyway - no need t0 be sorry

the truth is almost definitely somewhere between my opinion and yours - I'm leaning towards mine - hehehe

Also, for the record, 0-ctrl has quantized voltage outputs via knobs for each step, largely removing the need for a quantized voltage module, as long as you don't have a tin ear and are comfy tuning manually.

Likewise, there's a clock source. and sequencer. May still need a divider down the line, but for a small setup, the 0-ctrl handles timing, gates, and quantized voltages...paired with the cycle of Maths, and I'm pretty well covered in that area.

Still a few pieces yet to arrive, but I put together most of it (still missing LGP, Pico Mix, FX unit). Powered it up and jammed hard last night, with good first results (not sure I was expecting much first couple of patches, but I ended up getting some nice noisey random glitchy beats, which is very encouraging).

Source of Uncertainty plays very, very well with this setup, super glad I stuck to my guns with this unit. It's like a play=able chaos machine...super musical. But gets really nice worbles and wobbles and interesting timings going.

Feeding its noise generators into the inputs for Fluctuating Random Voltages creates some moments, lol.

Super impressed with Dixie, Dual VCF, & Quad VCA...my only real complaint is I didn't buy enough patch cables, so I kept running out of cables 3/4's of the way through a patch. I got a huge multi-pack but I guess I need MOAR!

Recorded everything direct in, and it was pretty wild signal even with external mixer, so I am going to get a output module on the way, and swap out the Doepfer External In A-119 for another time...I'm sufficiently pleased with the results at the moment that I'm satisfied with NOT sending my guitar signal through.

Even with a dry signal and no effects, by modulating the modulation with the ADE-50 thru dixie and 266t outputs I'm getting some pretty gnarly sounds.

Plaits is fun, too, but I tried not to lean on it too much. ;)

Overall first result: success!

I'll go back over last night's jams and see if anything is worth sharing.

Natural sort of Rack names

In Rack view under Switch and in the command center the names are now sorted "naturally" instead by string.

was:
1. Rack 1
11. Rack 11
2. Rack 2

now:
1. Rack 1
2. Rack 2
11. Rack 11

Yes, there was a message in the Change Log a few weeks ago.

Hi, did they recently change the sort order of the racks in command center ?
Its definitely different some that were on top are now somewhere else.
Can i change that, don't find it.

Two powerful modules all together in a drone/industrial/post apocalyptic ambiance. Quadrax and Plaits.

was this module ever actually made? looks so awesome!!!

Beat it with your finger… (touch screens only)

Love it! Nice visuals.

I ordered a ST Modular KARL+Expander to @jdd12 and everything fine.
Well packaged and a Module in very good condition.
Highly recommended seller.

My goal:
I want this rack to be focused only one thing, and thats glitchy percusive/drum sounds. I'm not interested in creating a basic 'kick snare hat' sort of drum machine since I already have a Digitakt and RD9 for more conventional drum sounds. What I really want is to be able to explore sound design but in a rythmic way, both in terms of sequencing and sound modulation.

• One of the most important effects I wan to have is a beatrepeat which would allow me to modulate the lenght of the repeats triggered randomly at clocked intervals. Would Databender be able to do that? Are there any better alternatives?
  • I have not included any VCAs, envelopes or utility modules, this is becuase the three voices I have in the rack already have built in VCAs and envelopes,

-- Adrian97

I would recommend looking at Qu-Bit's Prism along with the Data Bender. I have both, and get more controllable/predictable beat repeat style effects from Prism. I love Data Bender, but it kind of does what it wants, and it's much more glitchy. It takes a little work to make it "musical," and if you aren't planning to add more utilities/envelopes/etc. (which you absolutely should if you want to get the most out of modular), you may find yourself a little frustrated with it. I've found that Prism is pretty awesome for a Warp Records kind of vibe.
Have fun and good luck!

Here’s another track featuring the RYK Vector Wave as the only sound source + the Disting Ex processing some of the VW’s sounds. The video is composed of close-ups of my rack lights. More details in the video description. Thanks for watching.

I think the mixer/out module has to be the last one in the chain. If you add an effects module later I don't think you can ensure that the output level is not too high for the input of the console. Taking into account that the effect modules usually add feedback, increasing the level of the output audio. I don't know that table or the effects it can cause on it apart from saturating.

Data bender is nice but you may want slice by 2hp as well.
I’m relatively new to this myself and have similar interests. I love the data bender. (I’ll let someone else tell you that you need more vcas lol)

Not sure about running straight out of data bender though. I got an HPO from alm busy circuits for a cheap stereo out. Hope this was useful, Good luck!

Hi,

-Clouds as main effects module. -> what do you mean by main effects module ? Don't get me wrong, Clouds is a fantastic module (I own a Beads), but I don't think it would be my first choice for a main effects module in a techno oriented rack. For me at least, techno means tempo-synced FX so depending on the available cash, I'd be looking at the NE effect module which can switch firmware, the FX Aid (XL or Pro probably), the Make Noise Mimeophon or the Intellijel Rain Maker, all useful for techno and also open to lots of experimentation. If you haven't already, get some play time with Clouds in VCV to make sure it's the right choice for you ;-)

 You're right, and I always make the same mistake of looking at modules that cover many aspects instead of focusing on a 
  specific point. My option would be NE Imitor Versio but it is beyond my current budget, it will have to wait.

-I'm thinking of also adding a Waveshaper like the Fold6 or maybe NE Pura Ruina. -> if you can build a kit, the Reverse Landfill Monotropa v3 is an interesting choice IMO, it's a great value module with again possibilities for experimentation outside of the obvious first use cases.

 Reverse Landfill Monotropa v3 is a very interesting module, I have the option of asking RTFM to mount it for me.

-I want to avoid "menu-diving" modules as much as possible, I know that PAM's and Ornament are great modules, but at the moment they are not among my goals. -> if there is one menu based multifunction module I'd recommend for a techno rack like yours, that's Pam's. You can send offsets to the CV inputs coming from a module with a better/larger interface for that, say an Intellijel Triplatt for example, attenuating (lol) the "playability issue" if necessary. I used to own a BIA and that thing loves synced modulation, I mean it eats modulation for breakfast, so my guess is you're going to need a lot of it :-) Pam's can definitely do the job, but if you're looking for playable interface, there's also the obvious Voltage Block (I suppose availability could be an issue), or Mimetic Digitalis from NE, Maestro from Acid Rain, etc. Depending on the type of modulation signal you're looking for, you could also look into synced-looping cv that is not synced waveforms or stepped cv, like the Flame C3 mk2 for example which records your unquantized knob turns but also offers a reset input to create repeating patterns.

 My idea was to use the mixed signal from EG and LFO's, Clep Diaz (I love that module) and specially Turing Machine, maybe 
with the expansion, to modulate BIA.
I update the rack with some of your suggestions.
Thank you very much for your time giving me ideas.

SYSTEM NOTES:

For Electroacoustic operation, Endorphins Golden Master can amplify either my Zoom H1N or Elektrosluch Mini City. Mutable Instruments Beads in Palette 1 can amplify the other.

If I find myself not using Mutable Instruments Kinks, substitute in Mannequins W/ and Monome Crow. Crow could be used to convert 0-5V from Make Noise 0-CTRL to -5 +5V for Instruo Arbhar. Otherwise, I have to use Shakmat Harlequin's Context to create presets within the full range of the Scan parameter. Kinks could be a great utility though, if I find a way to get along with it. It is also useful for waveshaping the output from Rossum Panharmonium.

Hi everybody -- it's been a while!

My modular is out of action until I get around to replacing the power supply so here's a DFAM jam. I did use a patch cable to sync the DFAM to the TD-3. It's just those two and echo. Hope you enjoy.

For Electroacoustic operation, substitute the S.T. Modular Radio for a Circuit Abbey Gozinta or a Mutable Instruments Ears to amplify my contact microphone(s). Mutable Instruments Beads can also amplify either my Zoom H1N or Elektrosluch Mini City. The Endorphins Golden Master in Palette 3 can amplify the other.

I'm here to say I'm very glad I got the smaller chainable pods. Even though the space/money value isn't optimal, it really helps with my fairly cramped studio setup.
