this is what i would have done…
Microtribes Rack - Eurorack Modular System from Michaalhell on ModularGrid
CARA and OCHD
Imo, Modulation is where Modular shines, adding a fx unit to this setup would imo be pointless.
I have a 48hp spare case in my closet and im actually kind of GASing for a SV-1. it sounds sooo damn good, that filter is something else. JUICY as Mr.Huang said
The SV1 sound is incredible. Juicy and chewy Id say.
I’m keen on the 10hp random sampler (marbles) . I saw some AIsynthesis diy kits for 2hp attenuverters that can also be mults. Very handy.
There’s no rush anyway. It will happen when it happens.
Thanks for the tip. Had a look at turing machine. Right up my street. Nice and simple, but does lots with no menus or hidden functions. Now to find a diy kit in stock…
Update:
Well that escalated quickly…
Scored a bunch of early pittsburgh modules. Very happy with them. They do a great job of expanding the SV-1. Which (I have discovered) is more useful and more fun than a twin mono synth rack.
Now I know I need a few VCAs…
So, question. Is 8 VCAs overkill for this small system? Asking because I’m looking at the Doepfer A-130-8 octal linear VCA. Great price and only 6hp.
There’s no level control on the A-130-8, is that a must have?
Thoughts?
Well, technically no, as “you can’t have enough vcas”, but with only cv control over the levels, do you have enough signals to make use of them all?
I think attenuation is the right direction though.
Expert sleepers ES-8.
Use as an interface to expand your capabilities into a DAW. Either with Bitwig, VCV Rack, or Ableton.
Combined the bare essentials of your rack into the endless functionality of ITB. FX, extra modulation(there are 8 channels of output that can function like a Pam’s New Workout but more customizable.
If you’re not into hybrid- maybe one of those multi fx modules. For a variety of things.
The A-135-2 might be more suitable then.
Quad vca with attenuators for each channel.
Only you know the answer to that. No one here thinks or feels like you do.
