I started learning to use a virtual Eurorack for this reason. I’ll probably get a real modular eventually, but the virtual Eurorack is helping me a lot, as far as understanding what I might need for a real modular. I’m using miRack, which was originally created using code from VCVRack.
Even after I get started with a real Eurorack, I’ll probably continue using miRack because I can pull up as many instances of, say, Mutable Instruments Rings, as I want, mix and match Marbles with sequencer modules, etc. without spending extra money. Practically unlimited virtual modules combined with a well-chosen selection of real ones is a very promising combinatin.
In particular, Expert Sleepers ES-8/ES-9 audio interfaces and expanders are now fully supported, and allow to integrate miRack and hardware Eurorack equipment. Expert Sleepers encoders for use with ES-5, ES-40, ESX-8GT and ESX-8CV modules are also available.
I wanted to like these modules but I didn’t have a great experience with them. When everything is all patched up, it’s easy to get into a situation where you can’t access those little knobs. Especially with Utopia. I would rather just get modules that are laid out differently.
I like how they incorporated both sliders and knobs into the module designs, but fair point about Utopia. You could get a different CV utility module like this with a bigger knobs and such, but it probably would cost quite a bit more too than the $99 price for a Utopia.
I didn’t know that the word “antidote” has Greek origins.
from Greek antidotos , from feminine of antidotos given as an antidote, from antididonai to give as an antidote, from anti- + didonai to give
Looking forward to more demos of Antidote. Karplus-Strong with an analog circuit is kinda unique.
