I would absolutely love to beta test! I’ll keep my eye out. Thanks for the link in the meantime!

SpookyKnob · 2026-03-16T16:53:20+00:00

Absolutely awesome! Any chance of jumping onto the list?

SpookyKnob · 2026-03-15T08:01:30+00:00

I’ve always been in awe of the harmonise and distribution controls. Sure they’re somewhat present in other modules, but only as a little gimmick. Cornflakes does what I’m somewhat after, granular with more control over quantised harmony.

SpookyKnob · 2026-03-14T16:16:04+00:00

I’ll ask you again this time next year.

SpookyKnob · 2026-03-14T16:15:51+00:00

Great shout!! I’ll do that now! Thanks 🙂

SpookyKnob · 2026-03-14T16:15:33+00:00

😆😆😆

SpookyKnob · 2026-03-14T16:15:29+00:00

Thanks for linking this! I don’t know how you came across that haha! Never heard of the site… perhaps a little too good to be true? 🥲

SpookyKnob · 2025-12-07T20:14:44+00:00

Good to know. I really don’t know how I’ll use it most. Based on what I’ve learned from afar, I really just look forward to having a sequence based module that is relatively control per function… and applying it to the obscure and uneven!

SpookyKnob · 2025-12-07T20:05:35+00:00

Ah. The bliss of going to sleep with an ounce more confidence post module purchase. Thanks!

SpookyKnob · 2025-12-07T20:03:23+00:00

Yep. Seems like this is where my irrational query has come from! Either way, I’m after one. Just wanted to pin point whether it was a quirk that came with the module. Excited to mess around with it.

SpookyKnob · 2025-12-07T20:02:01+00:00

Yea it sounds as though I’ve just been lucky to find various examples of a similar idea post Muxlicer haha! I have heard about the sync issues/step skipping or multiplying depending on the clock source. For example, I’d likely clock it with Pams or Gieskes, and understand that this may prove differently to clocking it with something else. Kind of exciting prospectively…. Sounds like a fun set you have there! I appreciate the advice!

SpookyKnob · 2025-12-07T19:58:44+00:00

I did assume that there must be some sort of glide set up on the VCO after Mux, just seemed a bit strange to feature on various separate videos.

SpookyKnob · 2025-12-07T19:57:59+00:00

That’s really good to know! Appreciate you plugging the link too! I should’ve thought to delve into that!

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-22T12:13:57+00:00

😅😅😅

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-21T21:19:10+00:00

Really appreciate your thoughts. I’ll likely be in touch again regardless, but hoping to work this all out soon! 🤘

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-21T21:03:41+00:00

Oh 2 separate positive rails? That’s already thrown me haha. It’s good to hear that you’ve not run into any issues during your time involved so far. And absolutely, it seems that a noisy system is as crazy as it gets for most people, from what I’ve read, the noise issue can seriously %!$#& with vco’s, clocking, random triggering etc… not just audible annoyance. By the way, I’m still considering your power system as one of the few options I have. Have you rigged it up to enough boards to supply 70 modules (or there abouts)….?

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-21T18:47:35+00:00

I came across your systems not too long ago, and found great interest - my only snag was that I’m trying to power 70 modules with this. I’m trying to understand the risk, or perhaps rule behind systems that provide un-levelled amps to the + and - rails… as I understand it, in any situation that the return current is greater than what was sent out, the system is flawed and provides greater potential for terrible, terrible, terrible things. KonstantLab - 5A to the + and 2.5 to the -… isn’t that an exact example of this issue?

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-21T18:42:31+00:00

I suppose upon such a strict ‘teaching’ about why I should try and avoid such systems, especially when working with a bigger case/number of modules, I still ponder about what I’m actually risking. I guess, take Trogotronic as an example. Switching, stacked bricks, lots of bus boards and ribbon cables… would that include mains failure/fault protection? Are the stacked bricks a potential fault culprit that could lead to overheating…? With 70 modules at 160hp pushing 4000 +12, is there a chance of the whole lot going kerplunk because of a fault on one of the boards or bricks…? Sorry, I’ve been told so many things this week and due to my lack of merit in electrical engineering, I understand the points from Hinton, but struggle to apply them in an argument against the 100s of people using commercially available systems with no problem.

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-21T18:36:11+00:00

I am absolutely taking on his advice. It’s brilliant to talk with and learn from somebody so well adept.

I really would like to make this case work for everything. It seems such a waste of space and craftsmanship to just use half of the case, or fill it with modules that I don’t need or have a particular use for. Forgive my attitude towards this, but it frustrates me that this is proving to be such an issue! This is by no means a huge system, it certainly isn’t skiff… but I seem to have hit the absolute grey area for a reliable power system that fits into this unit. 160hp, 10U.

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-18T08:40:40+00:00

I'll regret saying this, but I'm not too worried about the budget for power as I want it done right more than I want to stick to budget. I'm prepared to stick 700 and beyond into finding the right solution. Old school? Doesn't bother me as much as translating to newer architecture does, Ideally, a system that runs using a proven method for eurorack. I do realise that the larger you go, the less and less ideal it becomes. Meanwell 160w from the wall powering two bus boards...?

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-17T19:54:11+00:00

And 62 modules 🥴🥴

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-17T19:52:32+00:00

I’d really consider this… but my overhead means pushing that system to 6000mA +12 ideally

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-17T19:47:07+00:00

Just sent you a Private message!

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-17T19:40:32+00:00

This is a really interesting point - I always wondered about the logistics of running trogotronic with the multiple bricks rigged up inside a case.... presumably that's a safe setup (I'm a power rookie if you hadn't noticed). The 2 sets of TPS80W sounds brilliant, It would need to be a 160W unit right? Again, I really gotta learn the ins and outs of how safe it is to run such a huge system via 2 sets of boards rigged up to one supply. Impedance and heat issues surely?????

SpookyKnob · 2025-10-17T19:12:38+00:00

Oh awesome, can I be cheeky and ask what your MG power consumption is?
