It's an Array Mbira. I've had it for ages but never really got into it. It has taken me a while to find a setup for it which works. I have been getting lots of noise and ground hum. I'm getting close but still not 100% happy with the results. There is some amazing ambience on the way from this thing though!!

there are a few pictures on the last few pages of this thread - but only crappy Iphone pics. I won't have the good camera for a few days now, but will post some more shots soon - including the juicy (messy!) bits.

Fracdrum is complete!

Obviously it isn't really- Im on the lookout for a doepfer A189-1 again for bitcrushing, thoough that's not frac. The big panel below is an 8 way attenuator/amplifier module, distorts nicely. There's some rack stuff under that too- compressor, digital effects... really happy to have squeezed the QMMG in as I was real light on filtering figuring that out.

How about a Socket Rocket ROM for the MiniWave? It can do some interesting bit stuffs.

tIB · Post by **tIB** » Thu Jun 07, 2012 2:42 am

^ not a bad idea that, Im tempted for a second miniwave but I think unless I find a euro conversion Im just out of space.

I do like that doepfer thing though, aside from the spring verb its probably my favourite doepfer module. The A112 8bit sampler thingy might be a good/better shout for that config too... Ill keep my eyes out.

here are some shitty blurry pictures of my current and revised setup

Forgive my ignorance and no offense to the frac guys but I can't help but notice just how ugly frac is as a format.

Not sure if it's just the modules and rough paint or the rails thrown into ghetto looking racks or what- maybe it's part of the appeal and fun I don't know but just very different looking from some of the classy and clean setups in other formats.

Seems like being thrown into a falling apart particle board rack shoved in a bassment is a requirement for a frac system. That said still looks fun.

i think it looks way more stylish than most euro rigs i see. but it's personal preference right?

do you think this looks ugly, for example?

or this?

tIB · Post by **tIB** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 4:00 am

Mine is definitely a case of substance over form. The blacet stuff is fugly, my encore freq shifter is the worst looking module I've seen... function wise they are fantastic though.

I love the look of metalbox stuff and if you count bugbrand as frac then I don't think you will find much better looking stuff than that.

frac cares not for euro hipsters either

I agree with poster saying many frac systems are ugly (I only use euro, so I'm obviously "biased"), but the second one posted above looks great, at least function-wise. Love the symmetry. The fonts used are horrible though.

Also, I wouldn't mind some built-in attenuators and multipliers in my Doepfer cases.
