I gotta agree with many people…cut it down.
1 Sampler + 1 Synth (ideally multitimbral) is the way to go.
Digitakt + Digitone Keys would be a good way to go.
I am working with an Octatrack + monologue & a 4$ ghetto keyboard at the moment….and although I love the monologue I am thinking of just going with OT+DK or OT+A4.
For me those two setups would be pretty sweet and it would still take me aaaages to figure out everything I could do with them.
Yes, that was my opinion as well. Maybe I haven’t expressed it right 
Sorry, no! You expressed it well. I was replying to an earlier post. I probably should have made that clearer!
True but the Octatrack need samples and if you want to be truly creative you need to make your own,…from somewhere.
I would love to hear what you come up with. Where can I find your stuff?
I’ve been spamming the ‘Current Sounds Coming From Your Gear’ thread recently. There’s a couple of months of sketches there 
Keep spamming! 
…I was thinking of the EPs you mentioned?
I do not see it as an issue to be honest 
Doctor A for instance can be set up as 2 mono INs. In any case it is a matter, for me, of making things simpler in a way. As in mixing mono sources has always ended up in better mixdown in the end. And I could always cheat and recuperate pseudo stereo at mixdown
But I am not that knowledgeable: I go with instinct and feeling
Lots of interesting ways of seeing/doing things.
From the little I have managed to squeeze out of my gear I can see myself messing around a lot with effects on any sources and have this fed to DT for further sound design
Doctor A has a brilliant 12 bit delay (space echo type) and Specular v3 a nice algorithm that can freeze (a bit like NI Raum).
Adding Analog Drive to the equation would certainly lead me to interesting territories.
I see these as extra inspiration/sound/sample sources. Like I used to use my mixers as instruments.
I spent the night on modular grid trying to understand where to start from… I feel even more lost as of now 
What I think/believe I am after is quite simple: the ability to have more control over Subharmonicon and (upcoming) DFAM sequencers. Some modules that would allow me Euclidean, ratcheting beats etc… Also being able to do granular is tempting me Not sure if this is feasible?
I just know I want to start very little… But you have already heard that before 
Modular gods welcome to enlighten me here 
Have you considered loopers, audio, midi, whatever….Loopers…They had a cathartic effect on me… 
With MOOD on a send, do you have the mix knob at full clockwise? I’m considering grabbing a MOOD for experiments and possibly routing it from one channel of stereo cue 2, and back into external input 2.
Back on-topic: I have done some minimizing & rearranging in the past few months and I think it’s been a good exercise.
Positives:
Negatives? (not so negative, but more like things to think about:
Good luck in your setup adjustments. Trust your instinct.
It is definitely feasible. There are many here who can help. If you can sit down and detail the control you would like to provide (you might want to wait until you spend some time with DFAM), you can solicit suggestions. What you have said so far makes me think about Pamela’s New Workout (clock, triggers, quantified LFOs of various shapes, Euclidean but with some menu-diving to tweak) and Quadrax (unquantified LFOs, triggered envelopes, bursts, waveforms up to audio level) but it also depends on how much you want to set up ahead of time and how much you want to manipulate in the moment (“play live”). And these are obvious suggestions; those with more experience might think of more obscure but worthwhile ones.
This sounds very interesting and seems to be what I am after.
I can do that anytime if someone is willing to help in establishing a “plan” on how I could get there.
Setting up ahead is not an issue though I would like something that allows me to have immediacy in jamming.
Going to investigate Pamela’s New Work Out right now
Thanks for the info @plragde
I’m always willing to help here, though I underline that my personal experience with Eurorack is relatively shallow and recent. Here is what I would suggest. Make a list with each of the ins and outs of the Subharmonicon. For each one, write down a few ideas of, for the ins, what kind of signal you might want to put in to achieve a pleasing effect, and for the outs, how you might want to alter or combine them in order to feed back into other ins. Then we all can work with that. It doesn’t have to be comprehensive or even what you end up actually doing. It’s just a way to pare down the otherwise dizzying options.
Thank you for the offer.
Going to think it through seriously.
I might come up with weird ideas but I will have to begin somehow somewhere
I’ve got a Digitakt and a Korg Wavestate going into my Octatrack. In my opinion the Wavestate is essentially an all in one sound source, and can act as four separate synths on four MIDI channels if I want it to. Even this setup feels a little crowded with features, and I’ve been considering removing the Octatrack but I know I would likely regret it so I’m keeping it as a mixer for now.
Yes, always fully clockwise.
I’ve owned the pedal for 2 years but have only really started rinsing it’s wonders more recently. I often use the tape setting which is wonderfully expansive through the reverb, but also great for dry glitchy artefacts, hopping and skipping in the background.
I keep coming back to this post.
It really sums up my journey with my Op-1s. Helps to keep me focused and reminds me of why i sold everything else.
Thanks!
It is funny to re-read this post.
Time has passed and I have sold most of everything. In the process of selling a DFAM and a Streichfett also… I am left with OT, DT, DB-01 and a Hydrasynth, which is actually boxed, not knowing if I am going to keep or sell… In the end, I was getting gear paralysis. Not doing much these days with my gear as I am busy rehearsing with the band.
Though I have come to realize a couple of things:
It took a while and I have spent some hard earned cash but I cannot complain as most of it was bought second hand and therefore I did not loose money reselling.
It is a long road and I have learned from past mistakes.
Do you still have your effects?
