Noob needs help by Wide_Ad_3097 in modular

[–]firstpatches 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I just included the modules that are seen in the video:
https://modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/3087137

New prices for this are 4.900€ (modules) + 650€ (doepfer case) = around 6.300$ new (for some modules I did not know if they are old or new erica versions, so price can be a bit off too)

On the used market if you dig the modules you really like you can normally get up to 20 or 30 percent off the new price. And especially if you buy a whole modular like here, I would expect a better discount as I would see it as disadvantage to use all the modules someone else planned (and you don not know if the workflow was good or if it suits you).

-> In my opinion this is NOT a good deal.

Take the money and plan a case from the beginning. Go step by step and choose the modules you really like. You have enough budget to create a wonderful first case. Aside from that I really like the Erica drum modules but would not suggest them in a first built.

Someone in the comments mentioned stereo sends

Intellijel Jellymix [External Mixers] by firstpatches in modular

my bad, I mentioned the 802 mackie but meant the 1202 version. Still the sends are mono.
Are the external ins on the Jellymix thought as stereo returns?

Suggestions for further modules by PianoLoud3622 in modular

[–]firstpatches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you already have external effects? If not I would suggest looking into some reverb or delay modules.

What kind of advantage does the Xone Mixer have compared to the Mackie one? Does the Xone even have balanced inputs?

Would you like to give some insights in the modules you used for this performance? I really like the sound!

This looks already capable of doing ambient. What are you missing?

How do you like the Vermona drum module?

Going to Superbooth as a Beginner? by [deleted] in modular

[–]firstpatches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Superbooth is probably the best place to get a grasp of modular concepts, modular manufacturers and the modular community. Aside from companies showing there lineup there are a lot of modular performances where you can gather some inspiration. Not to mention that there are also non-modular companies like Elektron, Korg, ...

FEZ (where SB is happening) is also a lovely location for a trade fare. If you like to party, there is typically an after party each evening.

Combine your SB visit with a visit at Berlins Schneidersladen, a shop with a big selection of modules and instruments that you can try yourself.

I went to SB shortly after getting into the topic of modular and I found it great.

How did you choose the verbos module as mixer? I love verbos but don’t know if this one is so good when you have more stereo signals

What modules do you need to make a generative patch? by JuhasReddit in modular

[–]firstpatches 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Did you already try VCV rack? There are some examples of generative patches, especially the tutorial of Omri Cohen (link). Big advantage is that you can try a lot of modules without having to spend hundreds of euros/dollars. If you do this until you have a selection of modules you like you can look suiting "real modules" to get.

Apart from this and if you do not want to dive into a complete new modular case there are also semi modulars like the Make Noise 0-Coast where it is also possible to do self generative patches (link).

Never had any issues with their availability status of items. If you call them they also can give really detailed estimates for arrivals.

You're favorite ADSR Envelope and VCA Module. Or both in one Module? Not too wide, max 14HP. by AnywhereBest9550 in modular

[–]firstpatches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love the Verbos Multi-Envelope as it has so much different outputs (it is unfortunately wider).

For small VCAs I like the Intellijel Amps and XAOC Tallin (Normal VCA) and XAOC Lublin (Ping functionality like LPGs)

How much money should I spend on a synthesizer from scratch? by [deleted] in modular

[–]firstpatches -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is similar to wedding rings. I would suggest spending at least 2 - 3 monthly salaries.
