I’m sure it could be.
I’ve seen some Euroracks on my travels.
I know for certain that I’m not going to go that deep in the physical right now,
I’ve already got so much to play with.
I’ve got four compression pedals turning up next week
and I like the sound of the distortion pedals so much
I’m most probably going to get another couple more.
Luckily I still have some of my gear from production studio work
so combining all of these things is certainly fun.
@Krupa
The challenge is going to be replacing the potentiometers with vactrols for CV input.
I would like to be able to modulate the distortion on the pedals.
Nice setup, how are finding the witch? Was looking at one of these while back and had forgotten about it. I like the idea of loading different algorithms/programs
The witch has a lot of great presets on the site, but I’ve yet to manage to get anything of my own on there; I want to start with a basic utility type thing, and with my way up from there. A mate is more into the teensy side of things and he’s got a lot deeper than I have so far… some of the library oscillator type things are fun for sure, and there’s good effects to be found, not as many sequencers as I’d expected…
That would definitely be fun to mess with I’m sure!
I've now discovered how much the tone changes
when overdriving the input on guitar distortion pedals.
At the moment these are the things I can play with from the sequencer.
Send and return amount and volume control.
Everything else is tone control by hand once it leaves the audio interface.
In the current signal path that I'm listening to
is an Award SessionMaster pedal.
It's a guitar preamp designed to go straight in.
It's a lovely preamp and distortion pedal.
I already have my JoeMeek opto compressor patched in
which fattens the sound instantly, it's so musical.
Yeah I was curious why they were so praised and ended up getting this dual lpg/vca kit for around $70 from Synthrotek. I also have a fold module so I looked into the buchla stuff and use the werkstatt and my model d for fm modulations and use the model d envelope out to an attenuator and run that into the gate of the lpg. If I run the envelope with a really short decay, I get these awesome percussive sounds and the decay on the lpg with the vactrols creates this just magical, bouncy release. It’s really fun to experiment with and I totally get why everyone loves them so much. It’s really cool for bass stuff too.
I ended up getting the tip top uZeus power supply with the rails to get started on the modular stuff and have been happy with it. I have it powering 8 modules with no issues
Yeah, I saw those as well.
It’s the last part that got me.
I love bass, that’s why the distortion pedals are going to come in handy.
Sound advice all round.
Yeah, I don’t want to skimp out on the power module
because it’s going to be with me for a long time.
I want something that will be efficient and stands the test of time.
Oh yeah.
Here’s a screenshot of the AN kick in dRambo
going out and then returning via an audio interface.
The top waveform is the AN kick with applied latency and the bottom one
is the same signal returning back from my Lexicon MPX 200.
which still sounds really good though I have loads of other reverbs.
The signals are out of phase so when listening
back they cancel each other out.
If it were really precise then you wouldn’t hear anything at all
but as you can tell from the recording, you can still hear a faint click.
Phase cancellation in action.
AN Kick drm out to the Lexicon MPX 200 and
back again via the Behringer UMC 1820 via SPDIF.
Honestly never touched sequencer on Crave, always sequenced it externall, build in sequencer is shit
))...
Crave it's very overlooked/underestimated synth by many, but it sounds as good as Moog Mother32 and perfectly integrates in modular enviroment, yet it's incredibly cheap (for what it can do)
There is one more suggestion from me - Dopepfer Dark Energy (prefferably MK2 cause it has multimode filter, MK1 has only lowpass) - amazing synth, and it's LFOs are capable go up to audio range, you can modulate both osc/filter so you can get pretty wild sounds out of it.. and it looks sexy as fuck !!
For those interested in a usb Eurorack power supply.

Okay.
Is there anyone in London with a Modular setup
willing for me to head over and plug-in to experiment for
an afternoon and we can video it to show everyone else.
Have a look at this.
Stevie Wonder "Songs in the Key of Life" documentary.
The aforementioned documentary discusses
Stevie Wonders techniques in the studio
which I found it quite interesting should we say.
Okay, back on topic.
Well...
I was talking with one of my students this afternoon and we got deep.
I don't know if anyones noticed but for the past few days
I've been window shopping as it were and for almost every Eurorack module
that I came across, even in theory, I found an iOS equivalent.
For instance I was tempted by a really nice stereo filter,
which I'm probably still going to get but not now,
and instead I loaded up the JAF Collection and that was that.
30 stereo filters and an oscillator included, what more can be said.
Thanks to my student I can now look for some other things.
By the way...

Yeah I spend a lot of time thinking what to get cos I don’t have a lot of expendable income and there’s a lot of stuff I can pass on because of mirack. It works really well with my cvpal or just using it on another device and using the output of the iPhone/iPad. I end up usually just getting stuff for audio processing and performance based stuff plus things like mixers and attenuators and logic stuff just cos I don't have a way to send analog cv to the iPad.
Great find on that website too, those are some awesome prices. I may end up getting some of those modules if they ship to the states
I hear you on this.
MiRack is really cool for exploring modular.
In my searches I kept on coming across the same names inevitably
and quite a few were in MiRack already.
Yeah, I've been looking at ways to get CV out from the iPad.
One my interfaces can do CV output but it's voltage isn't standard
and I haven't been able to test it properly yet hence my shout out earlier.
That's what I thought also.
Why not.
I'm going to try getting in touch directly with
the company especially as they are local to me.
They seem to have a good range of modules.
For anyone interested in making a CV controlled passive low pass filter.
https://benjiaomodular.com/post/2021-03-06-passive-low-pass-filter/
I also found this.
It's a
"±12V Dual Output DC-DC Converter 3V~5V to 12V Step Up Boost Voltage Power Module"
would this be sufficient to power one EuroRack module?

Quick update.
The compression pedals arrived this evening.
I've temporarily wired them in which basically means
that they'll stay like that for awhile whilst I delve in.
The compressors are based upon the Ross compression circuit.
I don't know how faithful they are to the original
Ross Compressor but they slam on drums.
More fun to be had.
For anyone who's interested here's a couple of low cost Eurorack stereo filters.
ST Modular EFI Multimode VCF Eurorack Filter

This is what it sounds like sending an 808 kDrm sample
out via my Behringer UMC1820 and back through an
Award SessionMaster guitar pedal and a Dyna Compressor pedal.
I've also corrected the signal path for latency and I'm testing
an approximate gain structure that sounds musical
though it can be noisy when the SessionMaster is pushed into distortion.
Edit.
Oh yeah
What you're hearing is the 808 sample being crossfaded
between the clean and the effected signal.
If you need to send signals out and back into the box
here are a pair of utilities to achieve that purpose.
One is to be used as an insert and the other is to
line up the other tracks that stay in the box.

It’s only 30mA so would have to be a teeny teeny module, they each have amp ratings on their specs as building a system and psu to match is a big part of the euro card game 😁
Thanks for that.
I've noticed the whole thing about power supplies and Eurorack.
One false move and the whole rig is gone.
I'll check the current ratings for the module
I need to get as I only need one for my purposes.
In the meantime I'm about to reconfigure one of my usb interfaces,
now that I have one spare, as a EuroRack stereo filter alternative
to see what I'm hearing in my head in action.
Nice, and yeah, don’t mess about with the psu, I think people even get fussy about stability of them, quite a tricky thing, but simple with nicely spec’d stuff…
Agreed.
Making sure the power supply is smooth for audio recording is a big thing in pro studios.
Not only the psu that supplies the power but
also the rest of the stuff in the house or premises.
Dimmer switches for instance can be a nightmare when recording.
Another example is need for usb isolators to remove usb bus noise and
ground noise.
I'm about to rewire my rig so it's at the forefront of my mind.
Talking of which I've just received a new usb hub.
One moment.
I've found another one on AliExpress which gives an output current up to 800ma.
Here's the link

I have a Behringer UMC1820 and I've hooked up
my old school blackface ADAT to use for
extra inputs and quite possibly Eurorack CV signals.
I was getting digital clocking problems between the UMC1820 and
the ADAT machine via Lightpipe so I connected up the UMC1820
to my ancient desktop and changed the internal clock to external
and set the ADAT machine digital clock to internal then
I reconnected my Behringer to my iPad.
Result?
No more clicks.
Edit.
Once the power is switched off the UMC1820
then it resets it's digital clock back to internal
and you have to go through the same process again.
