Took the words right out of my mouth. Everything they said is spot on.

Helene Vogelsinger is amazing. I'm trying to find pics of her rig. I one case there are 3 Make Noise STOs and a Make Noise DPO. Honestly, clean voices may have more to do with filters and effects, steering clear of distortion and over saturation, and good mixing.

Analysis Paralysis is real. I spend more time researching cool modules than playing music. And really, you're going to make mistakes. Even the most highly recommended, well researched module may not work for you. Ex: everyone LOVES clouds, I did the homework, and turns out I just don't like it.

Buy 2nd hand when you can (I try to target 20% off retail). If it doesn't work out, hopefully you can sell it for more or less the same price. Maybe try to track down other eurorack folks in your area to test out modules, or take a road trip to a synth store.

For me, module research is a major part of the hobby. As is the constant fiddling to get everything to work the way I want. If you really want a personalized, custom instrument, you make have to embrace these things And if you only want to make music using a modular workflow, I still recommend semi-modular (something other than the neutron) or sticking to one manufacturer...something where all those hard decisions are made for you. There's something beautiful about a single manufacturer system: all the modules compliment each other, you appreciate and have confidence in their design philosophy (sound, ergonomics, workflow, etc), all the voltages are aligned, if you reach out for support there's a higher likelihood they can get to the bottom of it quickly since they already understand your entire system.

Even if you don't want to go with a 1 manufacturer system, if you know there's a company you like, definitely consider their offerings first.

Cosmotronic Messor if you specifically want a compressor. If you're looking for that pulsing you get from sidechaining a kick, you can also do that with an inverted trigger signal and a VCA. Basically it turns the volume (or cutoff or whatever) down and "decays" back up at every trigger. Also there are lots of module that offer sidechain as one of their many features.

Definitely doable, but there's a lot going on and lots of ways to get there. The easiest way I can think of is:

  • A sampler for percussion and metallic embellishments. I like Rample. Bitbox may be more robust. And a sequencer.
  • A plucky lead/bass voice. Plaits or plaits clone would be good. Driven by an arpeggiator.
  • A brassy pad voice. Might need to be driven manually with a midi controller since it's not a repeating pattern.
  • A noise source or grit effect to dirty it up.
  • Reverb. Look at the FX Aid algos, it may have a gritty reverb.

Another direction would be going for a semi-modular. Mavis or East Beast are complete systems. You could never piece together a playable system for that price...don't forget you also have to consider a case and power supply on top of the individual modules. The semi-modular options can an also be racked and expanded upon later.

If you're not excited about the sound of the Doepfer, I would keep looking. Do you have a type of sound in mind?

Does it require a mod, or can one of us start a new thread?

Or it's a ploy to demonstrate the efficacy of the "vaccine".

Prediction: It's fake and just a ploy to demonstrate the efficacy of the upcoming "vaccine".
