Yes, it's very useful and well layoutet. Like the design also.Unfortuantely I messed up the drilling of the switch holes. The 3rd one from left top, grr.


I proudly build this VCA myself on the Befaco workshop in Berlin earlier this year.

It's the photo from the original device. Was fun!


Uh, oh! Could this be the place for the occasional babooney-tune, interspersed with incendiary wit and remarkably troll-like observational humour?

This, or a desert with some lonely wolfs prowling through.

What's going on, Solitud?
Are you gonna be opening a Euro-based online Modular Shoppe soon?
-- Adminius

No such plans.


Thread: Rack No.1

You still got this rack, Solitud?
The modules?

-- Adminius

Yep, still got all modules! The layout has changed a bit since then, though.


Wow Nelson, Culture Vulture, you do it with style.
I like to keep effects mostly analog for the modular and I am using an EH Big Muff for distortion.
I have an Synthoma Elkorus as a BBD chorus, that is really cool. It's a 19" device with CV ins (on the back, bummer) handmade by a guy from Spain. Somewhat noisy for picky ears but that's the definition of analog, right :) ?

On the modular site I like the Pittsburgh Analog Delay a lot and also managed to solder this Thonk Spring reverb kit.
Tapping the spring tank with the fingers in sync to a beat makes everyone around smile.

I also have a digital reverb, Lexicon PCM92. It has 700+ presets but I refuse to use any other preset than No. 1 "Large Hall", it's that great.

This is practically my default setup, use it all the time..


Hi. Nelson Baboon here. I am an egocentric troll who has been banned from muffwiggler at least 50 times by now. I also own the world's only cunning umbrella, and my music can be found in various places on the internet.

Jeez, I forgot to implement the ban mechanism
Well, at least it won't get boring then I guess.
Maybe this is a strong marketing point: the world's only forum which has a Baboon


Hey Ryan,

Hello, I am Ryan! I'm glad to see that there's a forum here(was it always here , or just recent?) Find this site pretty cool, I really respect and appreciate how much work went into this site!

the Forum was launched today, we will see if users like it

You can embed single tracks only by just pasting the link

I do wish there was a Wiard modular grid planner! I know for the 50 people who have one....lll

If you can convince Mr. Wiard to sponsor a small system this wish can come true ;)

John, I remember on day one you where the very first ModularGrid visitor.
What a pleasure you are also the first regular poster here!


You want to say something very original and sophisticated, but you don't know what?

Introduce yourself, or say Hello!


Beside programming this website I always wanted to develop my own module. Since I am not an expert in electronics I teamed up with Erik, a guy who is and together we build a module we call the Gezeiten UltimaRatio.

Ultima Ratio is an intuitive playable Clock Divider, Clock Generator and Dual AR Envelope.

You can use it

  • to synchronize sequencers with independent time signatures
  • as an performance like instrument when you play the divider ratios
  • to provide and distribute a stable system clock
  • to fire envelopes in a live performance to rhythmically control filters or VCAs in musically meaningful ratios
  • to mult triggers

I also want to thank Liis, Oli and Antje without their help the project would not be possible.

It would be really helpful if those of you guys who are even remotely interested in the module would join the mail list on the new Gezeiten Website.

So I am super excited what you people think about it!
