Some effects?

assuming that you have no other gear doing sequencing, you have a couple of options:

Use the Edu sequencer as the main Triggers and Pitch sequencing.
Use the Turing Machine to send CV to control theFrequency on one of your Filters.

Or do the opposite ;-)

un-tick the 'Popover' switch above the rack.

Yep, thanks @JimHowell1970 this was my fear when there is only a tiny pot to work with.

Thought as much, thanks

Good reminder @Sweelinck I often think I'd like more noise and totally forget that Disting does it.

The Luddites will eventually smash it! ;-)
The machines are taking their jobs! You might even be an Ai !

Would I be annoyed by a 6hp Rings versus a Full size?
As in, are the tiny trim pots annoying to set and I'd be better off with the full size Rings?
Of course, 6hp is appealing for not taking up s much rack space!

Proper dreamy one that.

Can you log in on different browsers at the same time? Though I guess that will stop you copy/pasting.

just make one from the list of 'Popular Modules' on the main page. Not that it would make for a good rack, might look fancy :)

Good stuff, had a listen the other night.

With a bit of tinkering you can great an entire patch that runs from a noise source, if thats your thing.

I regularly put noise into a VCA and turn down the amplitude, feed that into the ADDAC T-Networks and you get a lovely grungy crackle, feed that Crackle into an Envelope Follower and you can get a Clock/Gate out of it along with an envelope slope.
Meaning you can adjust the VCA, the Envelope follower or the T-Networks and get subtle changes to the triggers you are getting.
Sloths is a great module As @geusensdriesmusic says, I'm currently using it to modulate Divkid Ochd.
Marbles might be a good starting point for a bunch of Triggers, Gates, V/oct and modulation (Just remember to modulate your Modulators).
2hp RND has planty of options for such a small module
Befaco Burst is good for triggers guided by probability
Noise Engineering Clep Diaz is a nice little LFO, Stepped and Stepped Random module that will keep in sync with your clocks.

Have you tried doing a Krell Patch?

Error Instruments make the Indian Reasonator, which you could think of a as a One-trick-Pony but I find it quite flexible for some background sound scapes. Filter it, combine it with Sine waves and wavefold it.

Thanks a lot guys :)
There is quite a bit of stereo filter reasonance in there too which is lots of fun.

Kinda weird, start listening about 1 minute in as it was recorded live. The Dual CS20 VCF from Cubusynth works a treat here with plenty of modulation thrown at it, modulation mostly comes from NLC Sloths driving the Divkid/Instruo Ochd, into some effects via Mimeophon & some granular action from Clouds.

Thanks, I'll check them out later.

Anyone got a sound example or vid of this module?

Nice work.

Unless you already have the Rackbrute, my experience with that case wasn't good and I ended up returning it even after they said they had fixed it. It got really really hot for me which wasn't happening with my TipTop uZeus power supply so the only thing I could think was it was the rackbrute power at fault. So hot it smelled like melting plastic all the time stinking the room out.

Now I run 2x TipTop uZeus for my small cases and some nice Konstantlab power for my main case.

They are a great module, great with the probability for introducing random triggers, something nice is to shoot the triggers to something like Rings or the 2hp Pluck or Bell via the 2hp Arp and Tune, Makes for some pretty results.

Too kind @the-erc for classic Hardfloor it needs Toms.

Cheers @Sweelinck :)

Cheers @Cem79

Sometimes I can play about making weird abstract noises but then you realise you have been neglecting a row of modules, so here's a bit of fun.
I probably need to get a 909 Ride Cymbal just to top this off...

Really nice work, kinda glitchy. Liking it.

Nice work.

Nice demo.
I never really drive the signals through my Vortices, I'll have to give it more experimentation.

Haha, yeah mind the wolves!!

Just did a thing by holding a Piezo onto my crappy soldering iron stand, scratching it with an allen key and sampling it in the SebSongs Sampler, I think it turned out kinda nice. NLC Sloths modulates Ochd, Ochd does stuff, then other stuff do other things, before 3 effects routs and a filter.

This may not be anything to do with what you are talking about but I have Pams as my main clock and the Midi out controlling my Beatstep pro, while playing i see the BPM change on the beatstep and can hear the slowdown in tempo. As far as i can see i do not have any Swing or probability set on the beatstep and I never have an issue with Pams swaying about as its rock solid.

Great set....

Now I don't know what type of transformers you are using or the electricity structure in your facilities, but I would unplug it and have it analyzed by a specialist.

The original Poster has left the building! You might want to scrap all that as it's Yesterday's news Today ;-)

@mattroix was just piggy-backing on this topic with a question.

It may be worth making a short video of the issues and sending it to Instruo, there email is in their T&Cs info@instruomodular.com

For me as a producer of beer we like to investigate any issues that get reported and react as best we can to resolve problems or indeed in some cases our due dilligence tells us we have done everything correct and the customer is doing something wrong, each case is tracked back to production records and staff consulted so that we can always improve and if needed adjust process to target consistency.
Thankfully problems are vanishingly rare but we still take the time to see if improvements can be made.

Is it not just 5U or something??

leave a blank for some time while you figure out more about what feels missing to you. After all, that's often a good thing to do if you're in doubt, it's free and modular is not a race, you don't have to "finish your rack".
It's your custom instrument, so take your time to think about how you want it to be ;)

I like this advice, there is no rush to fill spare space, let it breath a while and you might just figure out what you need versus what would look nice in the gap ;-)

For me prsonally I'm at the state of slight mental anguish as to whether I should get a Shackmat Gemini's Path, a Ripples v2 Clone or a O_C, they are all viable choices, some sensible and some fun. Sometimes its better to get the 'Bread & butter' elememnts before going for that fancy Frnch Patisserie.

Thats me though and I have 3 disinct paths I wish to take my modular, 1/ Main Case whih is mainly for generative, 2/ My Percussion and Acid rows, then 3/ I'm planning a seperate weird, sound mangling esoteric rack.

I've got some interesting results with cross-modulation of VCOs before but I'll be honest I really don't know what I'm doing.

Nice, subscribed on YT.

Enjoy the spare space for a while and maybe you'll find out which modules you actually need by using what you've got ;-)
Maybe something to pan stereo and mono signals would be an advantage so you could ditch one of the STMix's.

Some people record direct to a small feild recorder too.... which also means you are setup for collecting found-sounds to later use in the modular.

Subscribed.

I just had the binoculars out looking for the birds ;-) Nice.

Messy but I like the bird-like jungle ambience tweety stuff!

A Challenge then?
Make the worst or weirdest sound you can then make a good track with it.

The vid before this one was Pluck & Bell, this one was all STO's Sine wave.

Cheers

Bit of #Jamuary / Patch from Sctatch on the Pluck & Bell

May your 2024 be Modular and bright ;-)
I probably won't have time to do much #Jamuary but its a great way to try new things doing a-patch-a-day throughout January.

Something I have done is use the Pluck (or other VCO) playing an arpeggio into the Clouds reverb then use a different sequence to play sections of the reverb chord wash. Do a google and search for 'Trance Gates' and find something like this

And this was my take on it

Yep @amenbreak I appreciate where you are coming from.

'We' the people of the internet behind our sometime faceless usernames never know who we are dealing with or what people are like.

A little story from us in the brewing world:
There is this guy all British breweries know, lets call him Terry for annonymity, well Terry collects beer memorabilia and Terry comes across as manic, demanding and persistent to the point where you are given no option but to be rude to Terry and tell him to F-off.
After our first encounter of Terry we learned from another brewer that Terry was actually autistic and really doesn't mean any to frustraite brewers.
It can be hard to be polite when you get contacted in all possible ways within the space of 10-20mins, then he'll chase those messages up, txt msg, phone call, email, facebook, twitter etc etc All in a very blunt or matter-of-fact manner.

Now we know better and do our level best to treat Terry with the kindness and respect he deserves, when we have new stuff we now shoot Terry a txt msg and let him know so he can send us a Stamped Addressed Envelop. And he's very thankful in response.

So the moral is, we don't know people, we don't understand their circumstances and we all need to learn to think twice. And yeah, I know this is actually really hard sometimes as all the above proves and for us in the brewery we learned from our mistakes.

Cheers

Hi @Amenbreak, I'm not a fan of name calling of anyone, would you be so polite as to delete that meme please?

No matter the level of frustraition in attempting to fully understand a person's modular issues I feel that stooping to name calling is at best way off topic and at worst is hurtful, mean and school-yard childish.

Yes, I realise the OP has left the forum, but that shouldn't matter. We are all here to discus modular Synths and we can dissagree with each other without this.

Thanks
