Hi Wishbonebrewery,

Thanks a lot on the additional information you provide. I am going to experiment with those thoughts versus my Befaco - EvenVCO, good ideas!

Wow! The beginning of your new added jam here, wow, what a fantastic beginning and that sound, man, that sounds great, to die for!

Do I understand you correctly that your brewery provides the inputs of some sounds via the Contact Mic module into this jam? Sounds fantastic! That sound that you let kick in that sounds like a kind of wind or storm a bit after 08:00, yet another great goosebumps-moment ;-)

Beautiful jam this one, I wouldn't mind if you go more into the direction of this kind of experiments and kind regards, Garfield.

Hello All,

Does one perhaps know if the 2500 modules from the brand of whom we shall not speak the name ;-) if those modules are 100% compatible with Eurorack standards or are there any surprises or other things to be aware off when using it together with one's Eurorack stuff?

Thank you very much in advance and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Ha, ha, great sound, that wacky bass jam :-) Nice to so you play around with your Shared System, you have some great moments there with the René module. That one has 3 channels, if I am not mistaken, so you could use that for two melody lines and your bass line for example. Then I see you have a Pressure Points module as well, that can be used as a small sequencer as well, for a few of your percussion sounds, for example.

I don't have a Shared System, so not too sure if more is possible however with Make Noise modules, creativity is almost endless! :-)

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Wishbonebrewery,

Nice jam that you packed full with variations in sound, wow! Looks like you got some good experience with the EvenVCO, I still need to get to know this module better to get the best out of it. You don't seem to have any issues with that :-)

Some nice echo effects (Mimeophon?) you got there just starting before 09:00, great!

Great jam and demo, thanks a lot for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Larya,

You might want to have a look at this picture:

Alt Text

It's from a previous post:

https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/9489

The picture might give you some ideas of which modules you might want (or not want) to consider :-) It also might give you an idea how to arrange certain types of modules within a rack.

Good luck with the planning, take it easy with the setup of your new rack and please keep some empty space left for future extensions. Kind regards, Garfield.

For review reports of Eurorack modules, please refer to https://garfieldmodular.net/ for PDF formatted downloads


Sorry some more matters to take note of:

  • I can't see your rack, I am getting an error, is there something wrong with the rack link?

  • I think, but I can't see it clear because I can't go to your rack link, I miss VCAs

  • I know you might want exact copies but for the sake of at least some variation you might want to consider to take a few different VCFs instead of taking all the same. The Doepfer A-124 Wasp filter is a serious great one, another good one is A-106-5 SEM filter

  • The same you could consider to do for your oscillators, but up to you, perhaps I am going "too wild" here ;-)

  • You have a lot of redundant modules but I don't see a redundant mixer, check that out, I think if you go this road any way then two mixers is a must (since you do two Matriarchs and two SQ1s)

  • In that same context get at least one but perhaps even consider two audio interfaces, i.e. modules that take the Eurorack audio signals to your external mixer. Since money doesn't seem to be an issue, go for two audio interfaces then for each couple Matriarch/SQ1 you have one stereo output to your external mixer, great! :-)

I used myself for a very long time the Intellijel Audio I/O module in combination with my Doepfer stuff, great combination!

Other audio interfaces you might want to consider are XLR but great modules: Vermona - Tai-4 and the ACL - Audio Interface

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi JFerg,

I am having mixed feelings here. On one hand I admire your brave and interesting plan to simulate two Matriarchs and SQ-1s by using a Eurorack modular synth, on the other hand, I agree with Lugia, it's kind of expensive...

Let's put it like this, if for some good reason (for you that is) you still want to follow up on your idea and not going the road, for example Lugia advised you to take, then let's assume money isn't the biggest issue. So from that point, I then continue:

  • The most obvious thing that I noticed from your here above displayed rack is that you are having two MIDI interfaces A-190-5's here. I really think, and I usually like to have from good modules more than one if financially possible so I am not saying this easily but here I do, that you can get rid of one of those MIDI interfaces of A-190-5. One should be sufficient, use that in combination with for example a Kenton - MIDI Thru 12 then you have enough MIDI connectivity and possibilities from that point of view. Kenton has a few different MIDI Thru models, check the one that suits you most, the MIDI Thru 12 is just an example here.

  • Though I am usually certainly pro Doepfer, I have quite a few Doepfer modules, however there is just one Doepfer module that I seriously don't like and that's.... yep... that's the A-190-5 or rather the entire A-190-x series. That doesn't mean you wouldn't like it but check this module out if this is really what you want. I had this A-190-5 for a short while in use but it just didn't work out for me. For my understandings, it was not logically to use. So that's the only module so far that I had exchanged for another one, I took the Vermona - qMI2 instead. This module is straight forward in its usage, very logically, just easy to use. The A-190-5 is exactly the opposite of it... but up to you, just check if it's really what you want.

  • Is this for you a kind of side project? Meaning, do you have already one or more racks full with modules and this is an additional project? Or is this going to be your first Eurorack? In case you have already one or more racks, then go ahead as planned, perhaps fine tune it here and there and perhaps some other members have some more suggestions. I don't have myself the Matriarch neither I have the SQ1, so I can't really, at least from an experience point of view, take these two devices, to cross-check them for you if you have covered everything.

If this is however your first Eurorack, and again, if you don't mind to spend this kind of money, then I would advice you to go for the Doepfer A-100 PMS12 PSU3 rack, that one has one more row that you are going to need in the future for possible extensions, at least you don't need to straight away buy another rack again. The second reason to go for this rack instead of the PMS9 is that you have here 4 PSU3s, so you have on average per HP a bit more power supply (i.e. mA) available, so you don't need to worry too much about the power consumption of modules. The Doepfer A-100 PMS9 and Doepfer A-100 LMS9 are good deals if it comes to bucks per HP however because of that you have to be a bit careful regarding the power consumption with these two latter mentioned racks because they only have two PSU3 power supplies (PSU = Power Supply Unit). The PMS12 has sufficient power so you don't need to worry about that.

  • Either way, if this is your first rack or your x-th rack :-) My advice is to start not to buy everything in one go but start for example with simulating first one Matriarch. When that works, you are happy with it, fine tuned it, gained experience, etcetera, then add the SQ1 part to it. Then again, check that and if these Doepfer versions of Matriarch and SQ1 works out well only then buy the modules for the 2nd Matriarch and SQ1. In that way you spread the risk and taking it a bit easier on your finance, should something disappoint you somewhere down the road.

  • Again, please reread Lugia's post, he really got a good point there. Yes this is kind of interesting but is it worth it?

However if you set this for yourself as a kind of milestone you want to do just pure for the fun of it, why not? :-) Eurorack is all about experimenting and having fun :-) I wish you good luck in that case, please keep us updated about your progress and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Lugia,

Thank you very much for the additional information, very interesting!

It explains it perhaps also why I feel the high tones of the 4012 filter sound a bit harsh (not sure if that's the right word), now I know why :-)

Great info and kind regards, Garfield.

For review reports of Eurorack modules, please refer to https://garfieldmodular.net/ for PDF formatted downloads


Hi Ryan and Lugia,

Ryan: Thank you :-) Interesting that you like it around six minutes, somewhere as from that point starts my favourite part of that track too!

Lugia: I forgot to reply regarding your filter comment. The above track has been done entirely using the 4012 rev. 2 filter :-)

At first I didn't hear much difference between the 4072 and the 4012, then I played a bit more with it, till I discovered that the 4012 is my favourite. Can't really put it under words why, this might sounds a bit silly, but I have the feeling that when I use the 4012 the Blue Marvin is somehow more communicative towards me and I feel the sound is a slightly bit more lively too. No huge differences, at least not with my untrained ears, however there is a subtle difference I am able to notice.

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Well indeed, that would be my reason to have such Cat module too, just a nice gimmick, lots of fun :-)

Wow, that's a very nice Christmas gift you are giving yourself there! I can't wait till you receive it and you post your first few videos about that. Have pre-fun with it and let me know once you received it. Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gumbo23,

He, he, did you had some more rain in Bristol? Well, either way, the result is yet again a great track! Nice ambient and sci-fi kind of jam. You managed to get quite a few nice and interesting sounds built-in there, great to listen at!

I don't mind to hear more from your Modular Cyberpunk series :-) Thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Sacguy71,

Happy Halloween! :-) Ha, ha, funny module that Cat Nip, didn't know about that one! Pity we can't buy it here at a German dealer, at least not that I am aware of it. Can't even find it here on modulargrid.net! Did you got it from a local shop? Pity to hear it's sold out!

You write here and in your video that it's 2 HP, are you sure, isn't it 4 HP?

Thanks a lot for this funny jam and nice demo of the Cat Nip and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Nickgreenberg, Lugia and Ronin1973,

Nickgreenberg: I am using a few effects pedals, in combination with a digital mixer it's great to use and almost no limitations that come right to mind of using them in combination with modular. The only limitation I see here is the limited number of outputs on your mixer because you don't only need inputs for those pedals (that will be the outputs from the pedals), you also need outputs on your mixer for your pedals (that will be the inputs for the pedals then). Ideal to get this configured with a digital mixer that can do digital patching as well. The PreSonus StudioLive Series III mixers for example can do that just fine.

Lugia and Ronin1973: If I may be honest here, and you know how much I love (Eurorack) modular synthesizers, so it's definitely not a lack on my side of not liking modular, however if it comes to effects versus Eurorack modules then I am not overly impressed. Especially when you calculate the usually ridiculous module price into it, as Ronin also already indicated, then for most effect modules I don't think it's really worth it and an external pedal might be preferred, or at least I prefer than an external pedal.

The Intellijel Springray2 is one of the very few exceptions for me where I say, yes that effect is really worth it within modular. Perhaps the Make Noise Mimeophon as well but that's about it, and I do have a few more effect modules but I am not even going to mention them here. They aren't bad but no big wow factors, especially not for the money one is paying for it. I rather spend my money on a (very) good (stereo) pedal. Of course Ronin's pointer of the CV control would be the only real good reason for me to get an effects module in modular, but wow, what must that module be good before I would decide to go that road... Good news is that slowly pedals start to have CV input(s) as well, so for effects... please think twice before you get an effects module instead of a pedal.

Just my 2 cents, kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Nickgreenberg and Lugia,

Nickgreenberg: Thank you! If you get one, I don't think you would regret it, it has a very high addictive usage potential :-)

Lugia: Thank you very much for the further details! Yeah... I think for the next weeks/months I will be only scratching the surface then ;-) At the same time, that's the beauty of this beast, isn't it? :-D

Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gabor,

Great track and great camera position, nice to see you at work! Light? I am totally okay with it, sounds great! What is that device you are operating around/between 0:46 and 0:49, some effects device, but which one?

Ha, ha, the sound that kicks in around 2:33 is great, nice variation! Thanks a lot for sharing with us and kind regards, Garfield.

For review reports of Eurorack modules, please refer to https://garfieldmodular.net/ for PDF formatted downloads


Hi Lugia,

Thanks a lot for the additional information, much appreciated! :-) Yeah the LFO and also the S&H possibilities I have to check further, I had at one time some kind of interesting rhythm out of that, on the other hand I feel it's pretty difficult to get that nicely under control meaning that one still can listen (pleasantly) to the sound, quite a challenge ;-)

Stupid question perhaps but I really don't want to blow or even damage my monitors, with that DC filter in place and let's say really going (far) below the 20 or 30 Hz line, are you sure that's not going to harm the monitors in any way? I don't have money left to get a new pair ;-) I guess keeping the gain at a reasonable mild level should help protecting them?

I am abroad now but once back into my basement studio, I will check it out and experiment a bit more with that, thanks a lot! Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi TumeniKnobs, Farkas and Lugia,

Thank you very much, much honoured by your comments :-)

Yeah, it's indeed a bit pity that it got a Behringer logo on it, otherwise it's a great instrument. It's kind of addictive, once I start to play with it I just can't stop any more, keep on having fun with it, trying to get the most out of that filter and it provides me at certain times a bit that kind of old-days-JM-Jarre feeling, great, I love it!

Lugia, I am glad I followed up on your advice, I bought together with this 2600 that Lehle DC filter, so the stereo output (bit of a fake stereo isn't it? Or do I miss there something other than that pan slider?) goes into the stereo (!) Lehle DC filter input and the stereo Lehle DC filter output goes then to the mixer. Makes me sleep better at night and while playing I am a bit less worried about smoking up my new monitors, still the 2600 can do scary things that I sometimes feel quite pity for my monitors that they have to handle such signals ;-)

The 2600 does go under 30 or likely even under 20 Hz if you let it go! I can't see the details on my graphical EQ on the mixer, because it just dives too deep. The above track is best to be listened on a pair of good monitors and subwoofer(s). On my HiFi installation it doesn't sound as powerful and clear as on my monitors. I guess that tells me something about the "quality" of my HiFi installation ;-)

Thanks a lot for listening and kind regards, Garfield.

Hello All,

I recently received the Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin and wanted to share with you my first impression on this Blue Marvin:

It starts with just the dry sound from the Blue Marvin, using only the 2600's reverb at about 20%. Then around 1:05 I start to screw up the sound more and more, while as from about 1:30 adding external effects (see below for details) and at about 2:45 the sound is totally screwed ;-) All done with the 2600. Then slowly afterwards trying to get back to the original sound (a bit after 4:00) though still with the external effects.

Other than a MIDI keyboard and the following external effects, only the B. 2600 Blue Marvin has been used to produce those sounds:
- Reverb by Source Audio - Ventris Dual Reverb (E-Hall reverb with Swell reverb)
- Delay by Electro-Harmonix - Grand Canyon (tape delay with stereo ping-pong effect)
- Leslie effect by Neo Instruments - Ventilator II

Thank you very much for listening and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Nicolas,

I am particular happy with my Intellijel - Springray2 module, a real analogue spring reverb that gives you the opportunity to connect up till 3 (three) spring tanks. I am using the small and the medium one, both are great in their ways, the medium one is a little more subtle compared to the small one.

I don't have the Make Noise - Mimeophon yet but had a chance to test it, and this is a great delay and looper module, very creative patches are possible with this module.

Good look for the search of some good FX modules and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gumbo23,

Ha, ha, sounds like we need more rainy days in Bristol, so you can provide us with more lovely jams like this one, well done!

Yeah, sweet memories come back about music like this... thank you very much for taking us back in the past, lovely experience. Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Brunomolteni,

Oh that's a great track! If this is techno, then I am okay with it ;-) You make (parts of) techno acceptable to non-techno people like me, well done! Lots of fun sounds to be heard, overall a lovely sonic journey you present us here.

Thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Wishbonebrewery,

I really hope you can make that happen, sounds like a kind of dream that comes through :-) Good luck with the realisation of the bar/modular plan and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Wishbonebrewery,

Sounds indeed like a nice event with your help! :-) A bar with a modular synth, still need to find that over here!

The sounds that kicks in at 1:29 is great, after that you play a little more with, nice! Ha, ha, great that your cat is inspecting everything to see if you are doing everything the way the cat wants it ;-) Nice to see that at the end of the jam your cat is coming back to make sure you finish this off the way it wants :-D

Great to hear from you again and glad that the radio silence is over ;-) Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Xanaxunder,

Interesting demo video, pity it's in French but luckily you added English subtitles :-)

It's by the way Mathias Kettner ;-) (you wrote in the subtitles Kesnerr) I met him at the Superbooth this year and saw this Droid, indeed very interesting! He also designed the Sinfonion, yet another great product from him.

The motorised fader, is that from him/Der Mann Mit Der Maschine or is that from an other company? I can't find it on the website from dermannmitdermaschine.de

Do you have more information about that fader, then please share :-) Thank you very much for your demo and kind regards, Garfield.

My tip for filling the remaining hp is to fill it with blank panels until you get to know the modules you have. As soon as you reach for a function that isn't available, that's the next module you should buy.

Hi Gumbo23,

Ha, ha, that's a brilliant idea to put the output from Polygogo through the Panharmonium! Nice idea and great execution of this patch.

Hmm... now I have to reconsider what I just mentioned in my previous post about getting the Assimil8or first, perhaps I should consider to get the Panharmonium first :-D

By the way, any chance that you have an Erica Synths - Black Octasource? If yes, what you could do is use those 8 LFO outputs to modulate the Panharmonium and perhaps a few outputs of that Octasource to the Polygogo too, might give interesting results too ;-)

Great demo, very convincing and thank you very much for that! Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gumbo23,

Ha, ha, yeah a funny example of music you used there and indeed amazing what you can do with that module. Only pity regarding the price and if I am going to get a Rossum module, then I think I go for the Assimil8or first (even more expensive though). Do you have that one by any chance too? :-) If yes --> demo please!

Thank you very much for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Mowse,

Some very interesting sounds are generated here with this generative ambient patch, nice!

By the way, my headphones don't work any more after I pulled a bottle of beer over them... so instead of it would increase the quality of sound, I have now no longer any working headphones. Anyway, I enjoyed your generative ambient patch via my HiFi installation ;-)

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gumbo23,

He, he, a lot that you just wrote here above, I recognise myself there as well. As you already mentioned, it's not always exact science, sometimes it's error and trial, other times it's just experimenting around (or effing around) till you got that sound you weren't really looking for but sounded great anyway :-) I love that too!

Well... "music" as such I don't have much to share with, here is one of the rare situations that you might/could call it music:

Sequencer's violence:

Hi Mowse,

There are some (very) rare situations where one has to listen more than once to realise...

How damn well this track works! :-) Great little track, I just pressed the third time the play button and enjoy in one way the simplicity of it, yet the other way the complexity of it, no idea how you managed to do that, but it sounds great to me! :-)

I guess you will release soon an album on Bandcamp? ;-) As long as this track is part of it, I am okay with it! :-D

Thanks a lot for this great enjoyable moment and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Farkas,

That's great news that you are more and more moving into the Berlin School direction :-) Sounds to me that there is lots of good upcoming stuff coming from you, yeah! He, he, yes besides electronic music, German rock aka Kraut-rock (I am fan of Grobschnitt, complete idiots but they make idiotic good music in a fun way) is fantastic too. These Grobschnitt guys are now fathers and didn't do much however recently (meanwhile some years ago again) they went on tour together with their sons! I missed those concerts, which is a pity. I hope that wasn't a one-time thing and hope they will somehow continue.

If you are ever going to play in Germany, please let me know, I will try to visit you then. Leipzig is "the other side" of Germany for me from a travelling point of view, so it might be challenging but I will give it a try then!

I am curious to your future works possibly together with your drummer's friend, can't wait for a jam of you two and see how that works out :-) Thank you very much for creating pleasant and enjoyable music and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Ryan,

Ha, ha, I feel much honoured, thank you! :-) I was on holiday last week, hence the reason of my slow reply. I almost overlooked your post. So if you or anyone else posted something and you were kind of expecting a reply from me, my apologies, I was on holiday and didn't check my E-mails neither all posts here on this forum.

Great track you made here, it really rocks! Em, I meant it really dubs ;-) Funny and nice video effects with your hands & arms too! That sound that kicks in around and between 5:16 and 5:18, that's a great sound, how you did that? With some great filter?

I really don't mind more of this style of your music here in the You section however you don't have to do this just especially for me. At the end it must be you enjoying making the music. Looking at the video you did though! :-) Thank you very much and kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Farkas,

Do I dig it? Yes Sir! :-) Great track and oh what a nice moment that is at 2:45 where you really show those Berlin School musicians what real electronic music is about! ;-)

Wow-oh-hoo! This is some serious shit! Lovely that sequence, it keeps on going, I am sitting on the tip of my chair and... and... I am totally speechless! This is so good, this brings me back (in a good way) to the end of the 1970s and 1980s where those Berlin School people still knew how to make music ;-) Yet you managed to dip it in a modern sauce that gives it just that extra bit(e) what we needed then in the 1990s and onwards were no longer decent music (with perhaps some exceptions) have been made!

So Covid-19 rules are disappearing here slowly in Europe, when did you say you were planning to come here for a concert tour?! Use this style and you conquer all the European electronic music fans! Thanks a lot for this very exciting experience and kind regards, Garfield.

P.S.: Thanks a lot for mentioning and using your VC340 vocoder again. Decent use in the beginning of the track, nice touch! I am going to press the play button again, this deserves some serious listening...

Edit: Removed typo.

Hi Mowse,

It has been awhile ago since I have heard from you, but here you make it worthwhile our waiting! :-) Some great funny sounds around 13:00 in the first track by the way. Great transition around 16:00 too!

I agree here fully with Troux, your music is definitely Bandcamp worthy, so go for it! :-)

The beginning of the second track "Orb Weaver", is just sublime! The third track is a little nice track too. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us and I hope to see, sorry, to hear you soon on Bandcamp, kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Cmb_,

Great beginning of the track, I love that, all those funny and weird sounds, somehow that fits so well! :-)

If I may reply in the same kind of fun style as the music sounds, at least to me it does sound like a lot of fun :-) The below is meant as a compliment by the way!

To me it sounds you use a plastic PET bottle, inside you managed to put a mouse and with your both hands you are trying to kind of wrangle the plastic bottle however, clearly, the mouse is protesting. Then you take a saw to cut iron and you are trying to cut that plastic bottle with that saw however the mouse has some super powers and stops you from doing that ;-)

The music style reminds me a lot of what I have heard back in January 2021 (Earth date system) when I visited planet Tryondip 59E. Yeah good stuff, I don't mind to hear more of that, brings back some good old memories. Were you by any chance on Tryondip too? Kind regards, Garfield.

Hi Gumbo23,

Oh that's a lovely ambient track. Great sounds and it's nice to see your rack being in action here! :-)

This demo gives me a good appetite for modules like Usta and Odessa... hmm... and I "promised" myself to buy less modules for a while... help... ;-) Beautiful track and thanks a lot for the great demo, kind regards, Garfield.
