I'm about to take the red pill and start a Eurorack modular setup, god help me. Posted on: 31.05.2012 by Romelia Stankard The decision has been made, I'm going to start off with a small 3u system and order as much as I can tomorrow so that I can still eat for the next week- which puts me at about a $1600 budget tops including shipping. Eventually I will expand to 6u and get another set of z-ears and put it in a $15 Ikea converted 6u rack space for a budget case.Still debating what to order and how to get in budget, I'm just under $1800 now, $1500 would be ideal. Selling a pair of 1200s last evening was what I needed. All modules are multifunctional and it's pretty much frequency modulation and routing madness in a small package. Forget a traditional setup I'm going for more wild. The expert sleepers module is an alternative to midi/cv and is supposedly much tighter, allows using the expert sleepers software for additional modulation in your DAW but mostly looking at it for better timing through digital connection (they make a bigger optical version instead of spdif but I don't have a card with optical out) since I don't really want to use the software at first but then it is tied to my daw. I may just get a cheaper midi/cv interface so I can get in budget just not sure yet. Also looking for used modules but stuff on the muffwiggler community flies. The good stuff gets snatched up in hours it's crazy. I'm nuts for considering this, but it's what I've wanted for a long time and I can't wait to see what this does for my workflow and experimentation. Also those fancy stackable patch cables are expensive, $100+ on cables. one of the osc doing some FM The PEG I guess I'll keep this thread updated on my adventures. | |

. Have you checked out the Pittsburgh Foundation? http://pittsburghmodular.com/foundation/ It's a Eurorack modular setup, more like a "starter" kit to get you heading in the right direction. When I decide to take the plunge (sooner than later hopefully) this is most likely where I'll be starting. |
