I'm constantly plugging outputs into outputs by accident. I know you're not supposed to but all the overpriced boutique crap I buy better have protections against it. Same - I mean, not ALL the time, but I have often accidentally plugged outputs together. Never fried a module that way yet. Failing ...

Metasonix has about the most unique and distinctive sounding gear. Not for everyone; but if you're looking at noise/crunchy/distorted sound, it's a great starting point.

The brutal yellow Metasonix R-series modules.

Euro DIY option would be fantastic

Seconded on that, although a finished module would be good too. And I'm not concerned about depth, since I'm not using shallow skiffs.

IMO the Contour 1 is IMO the best DUSG variant out there, much better than Maths.

I know theyre quite different but do you think it would be preferable to have this or the Chronoblob 2? Depends what you want. Chronoblob is certainly going to have more functionality but I'd imagine sounds much more clean. The Sarajewo will be all analog with BBD chips, so will have more of a uniq...

I wonder how much of it is provoked/compounded by its infrequent production runs and elusive, boutique status even within a very boutique (mostly cottage) industry? Or is it something else? I think the perceived "unobtanium" is definitely part of it. But really, the last pre-order period was up for...

I'm just irritated I wasn't fast enough to get one of this batch.

"its like a synthesiser, it makes electronic noises, but without those fiddly black and white buttons on it. it looks like an old telephone switchboard - or ORAC from Blake's 7" and if they don't know who ORAC was we ask them politely but firmly to leave. :lol: ORAC was the second best part of that...

Keep in mind, this is just my personal opinion, others will have different recommendations; like Loudest Warning, which will allow more flexibility, but would be missing some of the options available from both R*S and STS. Some great advice there, Luchog, but bear in mind Loudest Warning will build...

Definitely not worthless, luchog , but these threads are a great way to see how people approach their instruments. For me, comparators, logic and dividers are a must... and I lament the loss of my last crossfader when I sold my Gator. So I see a Gator and a Divide+Compare, and I'm like yes . :lol: ...

I'm new to the world of modular. I'm mid-course in building a small-ish Doepfer-focused Eurorack system. I'm pretty sure that what I really actually want is a Serge and in particular, I'm convinced that a 4U gives more functionality in a smaller form factor. What I'd like to build is this: https://...

Aside from the Stackcables, I'm rather fond of the Polar Noise braided cables. They are rather thicker than the average euro patch cable; but I like the feel and look of them.

Curious to know, is STS still in business and fulfilling orders?

They were when I talked to Rex earlier this spring (to get my Animate repaired). Reminds me, I need to get a new power supply.

Metasonix R-55 and Ladik U-202. Although I'd hesitate to call them best friends, since neither one are particularly friendly (the Metasonix in particular is pretty grouchy most of the time); more sort of highly effective co-workers.

The tubes on the Erica modules are for appearances only... they slapped a tube stage on a solid-state circuit to add "warmth". These tubes serve no functional purpose and AFAIU they are under-powered as opposed to the modules from Trogotronix and Metasonix that have tubes running on high voltage as...

Here's the one I got with my Ochd. Looking forward to seeing the game rules and expansion packs released.

For anonymity and protection

The best adaptation of Phantom of the Opera ever filmed. "I know drug real from real real."

If I had to start over again, I'd make myself wait a couple of years before buying anything, and save up quite a bit more, so I could put together a more cohesive rack with better options available. As it is, I'm still trying to decide how much of what I have I want to keep, and how much to get rid ...

Here’s a large cache of R:

Not mine. I wish!

Holy crap, I wish I had the money for that right now.

Oh I wish I had that kind of money right now. Damn.

If all you're looking for is the function generator (AD envelope/slew) feature, the Joranalogue Contour 1 will do the job much better in a smaller package.

Mine just showed up a few minutes ago. Box looks kinda beat up, but I haven't had time to unbox it yet. Will do that soon.

I'm a big advocate for single-function or function-block modules. My preference would be for 2 Joranalogue Contour 1s, with separate logic modules (the Joranalogue Compare 2 jumps immediately to mind, but there are plenty of others), and VCA/Mixer modules (too many of these to count). More space-int...
