Been lurking a while and thought id finally get into the board.
I really like the vibe around this place, feels a highly functional board and a nice place to be!
Ive been working with U-HE bazille for about a year now and i am enjoying the freedom of the modular design.
Even though bazille sounds pretty good for a softsynth its lacking the weight and definition i feel i hear in analog modular synths.
Also it will never be truly modular as it has the fixed set of modules, so i cant expand on my options.
(
)So ive decided to go modular!
Eurorack seemed for me to be the way to go because it was the cheapest and seemed to have the most options and i guess all the usual arguments for going with eurorack
Ive put together a case with the doepfer diy kit, i fitted it into a regular toolbox from my local hardware store.
it looks like this:
The modules sitting in it right now are just a couple i borrowed from a friend.
(still need 25mm profiles on the top and bottom of the rails, and i need to fix the distribution boards
to the case but i just had too see it with modules in after i drilled the aluminum profiles 8_) )
Starting so slow and learning the ins and outs of each module before expanding seems to be
the piece of advice on here for newbies, and thats exactly what im gonna do!
Im planning on using my modular with my computer and integrating it into my music projects, im thinking of going with the expert sleepers ES-3
as communication between PC and modular, can someone vouch for it?
I think id like having 8 CV's, and im gonna be expanding slowly due to lack on the finance side so i like that it gives
me "free" envelopes, lfo's and sequencing.
For my first oscillator im gonna go with the DPO, i love fm type sound, and i really like the sound
of wavefolding aswell, thats something that i cant do with bazille.
The sounds i hear from buchla and serge systems are one of the main inspirations for module selection for me.
Anyway, hey muffwiggler im really glad to be on board!
Im getting so much out of checking random threads already.
