Hi!
Looking for feedbacks as I am very new and trying to figure out my starting system for some ambient/drone/generative music.
Not sure (of course!) what my objective is besides having a lot of fun but I do like Alessandro Cortini, Aphex Twin, Ginevra Nervi, Helene Vogelsinger...
Anything I should look specifically for? Or big mistakes to avoid?
Do I need outputs and/or mixer or some other modules can do that?
Thanks!
big mistakes to avoid?
buying modular synthesizers without enough research to know what you are buying...

output module: you may or may not need an output module... depends what you are connecting to, most modern mixers and audio interfaces should be able to handle modular levels
mixer is probably too small for this size of case
you probably need more mixers
see my signature for a vague hint at how to build a modular synthesizer with the most variety for the least amount of cash
"some of the best base-level info to remember can be found in Jim's sigfile" @Lugia
Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities
Wonderful!
Already happy that I'm avoiding the big mistake as I'm trying to do my best to research what would suits me the best.
For the moment, I'm connecting to a small home studio system with a Scarlett solo.
Many thanks for your feedback!
I'll echo what Jim's saying, but also I'd like to point out that the oscillator that's in this build is part of why Mutable's gone now.
Don't give Uli your money when he misbehaves. Like this. It's sort of like training a dog: praise and reward for good behavior.

Thanks Lugia!
I think I understand what do you mean so I'll try to look for alternatives...any suggestion is welcome!

If you can find one used (and that's a BIG "if"), grab that over the clones. Most Mutable clones have their already-tiny controls jammed into a similarly-tiny space, so that would be a "nope" there.
Actually, check the Klavis Twin Waves mkii. Wavetable architecture similar to Plaits/Braids, but you get TWO oscillators...with quantizing to boot...in each module. And at 8 hp, you can drop TWO in where the Brains is currently. Four VCOs? Hellz yeah!
More expensive, but you get your value for the $$$ there.
