Once you start with a (euro)rack your money is gone

donāt rule out the SE Tonestar. Lots of tricks up its sleeve when patching it āwrongā.
Sub OSC helps for bass work.
Got me a M32ā¦what a sound !!! If you in need for clonky fm techno baselines (old Regis,Female and the rest of Downwards crew), the Mother is your friend.
Downside isā¦iām about to built me a DIY case and with arms wide open Iām looking forward to get addicted to eurocrack.
Fugg it, you only got this 1 lifeā¦

Well said 
Actually, this Rheyne channel just wow . I love his stuff. Now I want to pair the Mother and the 0-coast

I had the M32 for about half an hour before deciding the Monotribe had it all covered, although I really gelled with the Sequencer and the assignable output. Obviously I explored it for about a week but found myself wishing for X too much. Felt very limited on itās own, for me at least.
Got shot of the Moog and bought a second 0-Coast!
I personally like the 0-Coast because it is different to everything else and it feels fresh. Itās so much fun to gradually realise that it is pure genius and so well thought out it should be illegal. Best thing on the market, in any price range for moi!
I looked into the PM SV-1 but since itās essentially subtractive I lost interest, I need something more now. Iāve done that to death.
Donāt get me wrong itās nice and all but Iāve had lots of gear and now Iām looking for things that offer more exploration or nutty sounds.
0-Coast will keep the imaginative patching for years, on itās own. Add to it either cv or midi and you are going to die not having tried everything!
BTW 0-Coast has just had an update, various midi bits and also now an M4L patch to program the midi side.
I must point out Iāve not been near the midi side yet as I still have too much to try stand alone or with cv!

Yeah man! Join the Krellā¦
I think I might have toā¦ Forbidden Planet was always a favourite film, so Iāll also have to watch that again now.

The 0-Coast is really interesting to me, I think the design is clever and unique and the more I see of it the more I get excited about its possibilities. Fresh is a good word. Definitely on my shopping list for next year.
The M32 and SV1 sound lovely but are in a more conventional vein (albeit with loads of possibilities of their own of course).
Loved this video from MakeNoise about oscillator sources and patching to mix up whatās control and whatās signal:

At the moment Iām tending towards the 0-coast. Itās just something I never had, and the demo sounds are really unusual and fresh. I think it would be great to pair those two (with mother). However I planned to buy also a polysynth in this price range, something with nearly knob/function, because it happens quite often that Iām not in the mood for the A4 display and menues. Now the Roland System 1m comes to mind. Could be a great partner to the 0-coast as well and lets me programm some pads if needed. I know itās VA, but I listened to pretty great sounding demos. Anyone thoughts on this?? Thanks.

I think it would partner the 0-Coast really well. I have a System-1 and it does sound great IMO. I love making patches on it, itās very fast and rewarding. Does not sound ādigitalā at all.
It only has four-note polyphony and then only in the native engine mode, all the plug-outs are monosynth repros. But you can certainly make some nice analogue-style pads. And they added a bunch of crazy oscillators in a software update, it does (a form of) FM now and a voice/formant thing etc.

Thanks. Yes I saw that. Crossmod, Ringmod as well. Looks really versatile. And it seems to have good sounding effects. I have no problem with 4 note polyphony.

Yes I think that video in particular blew a few minds, there is something so versatile about the 0C.
I truly hope MN release another minimonster in a few years time.
Iām kind of glad Iām potless as every time I see these in stock I fantasise about adding another, and another.
Sometimes I just pick mine up and walk round the house with it in my hand so I can look at it with a different backdrop, Iām so in love

The effects arenāt bad but you donāt have a huge amount of control over them. The reverb is quite āwashyā if that makes sense? Itās nice to have, but it definitely has a certain sound. Delay is totally fine though, time and amount, what more do you need? 
The bitcrusher is very digital, unsurprisingly, but it is what it is, sometimes itās what you want. Though you can internally overdrive the oscillators quite easily actually, if you whack their levels up, and itās a nice analogue sounding crunch, that is definitely usable.
Ok. Usually my sounds go through one of the valhalla reverbs in the end. I love these plugins so much. But onboard reverb is always a nice thing to have.
Whilst the 0 Coast does sound fresh and unique, the sounds donāt trigger any emotion in me.
Admittedly Iām forever stuck in 93/94 techno mode, so the M32 is pure magic to my ears.

I had the chance to play around with a 0 coast a few weeks ago and I wasnāt to impressed with the build quality.
Itās a cool piece of kit though.
I can imagine people getting excited by the Ocoast, to me it doesnāt gave me any surprises.
Fun to play, yes.
A few years ago it would make me enthousiastic too, if you want these type of soundsā¦ get a real modular and configure your own set with more freedom of patching.
But again, this box is a nice teaser.
For sure itās modular lite but I think thatās partly what appeals to me. Not too much to get bogged down in. Or too much expense.
