so i picked up a eurorack case today off gumtree today to put the dfam and neutron in. I took advantage of an ebay discount voucher to ordered a maths & pamela's new workout as well. I'll post pics and some sounds from it when I get it all set up.

So I have fallen for it. I've spent hours watching videos of classic old synth filters made in eurorack and starting a list of what to potentially try next.

Has anyone else taken the plunge? Had experience with it? I'd be happy to know how you've got on with it or just any great modules I should consider trying?

I think your only hope is to beg to be let into a monestary, where youâ€™ll read the bible all day, and get 3 rounds of cheese and bread. Otherwise itâ€™s financial hell for you!

Here is My modular grid rack here if you are interested.

The one thing I keep forgetting is the amount of cables you need and the cost of them Smile

Whaoh, there's whole websites for mapping out your rig?

I must admit, I don't really understand modular or euro rack. Is it just elements of synthesis, like filters, etc, and you run another signal through them?

What now? Eurorack Stinky Sizers?

Yes you could say I am familiar.

good call on the MATHs. The way I use the modular is all centered around modulating really flexible envelopes, and "weird" oscillators, historically the Makenoise Telharmonic, although now I have that big old pittsburgh Double Helix, too.

anyway, that big rack is pretty close to what I used on my last big recording homebody if you're interested: https://minnesotanicemusic.bandcamp.com/album/homebody

That looks like a lot of fun. What do you have in there? Iâ€™m liking all the make noise stuff

So most of the rack here is for R&D of the dwarfcraft Modules, so there's a lot of those up there. The joystick is a (mostly) working thing but the parts are too rare to put into production.

But OK, the whole rundown?
TOP ROW LtoR
Pittsburgh Double Helix, Dwarfcraft HAX, Dwarfcraft Argue D2 (prototype) Dwarfcraft The Great Destroyer, Dwarfcraft Happiness (prototype) PIttsburgh VCA, Mixer, Outs.

MIDDLE
4MS Quad Clock Distributor, Pingable Envelope Generator (5/5, A+, 420:69) Make Noise Function, Pittsburgh LFO2, Dwarfcraft Yep, PGH Toolbox, Dwarfcraft Dreamblast (prototype) Intellijel uVCA, PGH Verbtronic

BOTTOM
Make Noise Pressure Points, Mysteron, Telharmonic, Recovery FX Bleeding Hearts, Pittsburgh Filter, Mixer

Nice mix and with your prototypes how many are you looking at releasing?

I realise a bit of kit making and soldering will help keep some costs down

Why did you discontinue them?

I was actually talking to our local modular shop about your pedals last week. He said a few of their customers who are doing noise stuff were using them.

Ive been hunting a lot of 2nd hand, eBay vouchers for money off or like the dfam a shop demo model. Iâ€™d probably of spent similar on a couple of synths and drum machines and all has been funded from gear sales (synths and guitars).

a little bit of noodling on the dfam, hats909 and a bit of modulation trying to automate some movement.

thanks, I've been recording more and will get some clips posted to soundcloud. The Neutron is proving to be great with all its patchpoints, hidden modulation and other features. Its a great compliment to the other modules and the dfam.
