hello everyone
i must buy my first Function Generator of my life
simple question:
i must buy :
a Make Noise Maths
or a Doepfer A-143-1
i am a beginner in eurorack world
THANKS
What do you need it for? The Maths had a lot more different functions, whereas the Doepfer does fewer things but has more instances of those simple things.
hi Zack
happy you are here
i am building a eurorack and you write to me :
"Envelope/Function Generator: Most of my favorite modules like this are big (Buchla 281t, Maths, Doepfer A-143-1 and 143-2). If you can spare the space, modules like this can make your system really come alive."
so i don't know which module to buy ?? Maths or Doepfer ????
Personally, I might suggest the Doepfer module just because you did get rid of the Vermona LFO and this might be a good way to cover some of that function while also having envelope functionality and a few other things. However, this is more subjective territory now, and if you just like the idea of Maths more, it will also be really good in here.
The best bet here is just to buy the one you like the idea of the most and sell it if it doesn't work. Forming a preference around these will depend on trying them out. Personally, I own a Tiptop 281t, so I'm more used to the Doepfer module and its style and I coild be biased (it's very similar to the Buchla one).
download the 'maths illustrated supplement' (google)
it'll give you an idea of what maths is actually capable of... it's a guide to patch programming it - especially useful if you spend the time going through it and concentrating on the what, why and how rathert han just patching blindly... and by extension a great resource for thinking about patching - when you patch your modular you are patch programming the whole thing not just an individula module

Utility modules are the dull polish that makes the shiny modules actually shine!!!
sound sources < sound modifiers < modulation sources < utilities
thanks JimHowell
do you have a MATH ??

I do have Maths, yes... have done for about 6, maybe 7 years... used in every patch either simply or in a more complex way...
I also have the a-143-1...
If I could only have 1 then Maths it would be

thanks for you reply
i am a little afraid by MATHS who look like very complicate to use
Doepfer A-143-1 seems to be simpler to use
I really enjoy maths and also rampage
I think maths can never be wrong and many ppl started with it.
I would like to try the tip top Buchla 281t
Can someone who has it, explain whats unique on it?

it's very simple, but deep... something to grow into... nothing to be afraid of!!!

i have read and see a lot of videos of MATHS
100% peoples says : MATHS is indispensable, essential...
i thinks i will buy it...
Juniper is probably (by far) the best and more complete one...
I love my JUNIPER MD, it offers a multitude of functions

Yeah in such a small footprint. 8 tracks of LFO/Env/Function generators with all parameters CV controlable encapsuled in 8hp.. This and Pam Pro are my modulation heaven :)
Kassutronics Slope.. my fav function generation & 8hp
i have again 8 HP for a last module
i will think about all that...

Consider also Frap Fallisitri or 2x Joranalogue Contour, 2x the Instruo one, if you don't need the utilities of maths
