BuySellRoot Monthly Modular Buy Sell Trade Thread

7 Upvotes

With any sort of trade, please be careful if you don't know the other user. Request additional pictures beyond the initial time stamp. If you want to be extra careful ask for something specific like for them to patch a specific patchpoint in the image. Try reverse image searching to make sure it isn't just an edited picture from somewhere else. Be specific with how you expect the items to be packaged and when the ship date is going to be. If a trade goes sour and someone can show that the pre-agreed terms weren't honored I will permanently ban the offending trader.

Consider using something something like PayPal's "Goods and Services" instead of friends and family. Sending a stranger money via friends and family is just asking to be scammed. I also recommend checking that the user has some positive history in the sub - especially to verify that they aren't banned from here! Almost every scammer on here has no history in the sub.

**IMPORTANT** \- Do not spam the comments with your listings. Please limit your listings here to 1 per month. If you get new items or things change, just edit your original post. When possible simply edit the original post; there is no need to announce new items in a separate comment. Try to limit the clutter.

Do not delete your posts and re-post to bump back up to the top. BEHAVE PLEASE.

Pictures are not required in the thread (though you should request them by DM), but ANY picture sent by DM or in linked in the thread MUST be physically timestamped.

**PRICES MUST ALWAYS BE POSTED** This includes trades so that everyone involved knows the fair value of the modules they're looking to swap

**RESIST THE URGE TO COMMENT ON PRICING** if you don't like a price, simply ignore it. There is no reason to go around pointing out that the item is cheaper new, or reverb prices, or anything else.

Modular DnB Rinse Out Part 2

I've finally found some time to further last times patch from the initial Amen experiment into something more musical. It's still just a four bar loop but with lots more "random" little variations, added chords and a few fx. Also the Reese Bass sound is extended a bit. Enjoy!

P.S. still no decent audio because of broken soundcard but i'll get a new one soon.

here’s the link to bandcamp if you wanna listen to it.

its the first actual “song” i made out of vcv rack so i know i still have to learn a lot about creating a proper structure with sequencers but i liked how it turned out

feel free to give advices :)

Discussion Oscilloscope outside the rack? Good idea or nah?

Upvotes

Anyone tested a few oscilloscopes that are not modules.
I got a small rig, I can afford the HP of a data or anything really.
I was looking for a solution to see what the volage is doing and calibration.
I checked a few, the Korg NTS-2 seemed pretty solid but im far from settled on that particular one.

Anyone tested it and can tell me their experience with it?
If you have something else, what are you using. Why did you get it and how happy are you with its features?
Do you pro rackmounted oscilloscopes or team out of the rack and why?

Thanks for the input!

Power for a Moog semi modular case.

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I bought a semi modular case from a Moog DFAM owner who has their DFAM in a bigger case. I was looking how to power this case but if i buy a power supply like the Behringer cp1a it takes up 4hp in a 60hp case which is a lot imo.
The case has this small pcb which connected to the dfam to power it. I was wondering if there's something i can buy that uses this pcb to power my modules so i don't need to waste the 4hp.

Thanks in advance

First attempt at doing drums in modular.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

154 Upvotes

Up to this point Ive really only used my modular setup for melodies and additional ideas within songs while hooked up to Logic. Wanted to start exploring doing drums to break out of my sequencing habits in the box.

Some patch notes:
Keys: Akemie's Castle sequenced by Melodicer and run through Strymon Starlab.
Bass: Behringer TD-3 sequenced by Stillson Hammer
Drums: Kick sound is Erica Pico Drum(s), Snare is Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter, hats are from Plaits and glitchy percussion is from SY0.5. Main drum sequencing is the Noise Engineering Integra Solum which has triggers run through a Void M+Mix to combine some triggers and a Noise Engineering Integra Funkitus for probability. A 2hp freez is in the mix as well being triggered by the Solum. Lots of various modulation and triggers getting sent around.

I jam a lot during the week, but I never really do anything with it.

During those jams, I’m usually exploring different concepts of modular synthesis.

So I thought: why not record them?

And why not share them here?

Just one camera, one take, no talking.

I add a bit of text to explain what’s going on.

I’d love to hear if you enjoy this format.

Let me know if you like this kind of video:

short jams, a bit of insight —

something to listen to, and maybe learn from.

How did you decide on your Artist name?

I've got my first gig in a few weeks and I've switched of artist name multiple times. Every time I really like something, I doubt it after a few hours/days and change it.

Edit: Thanks for all the responses! I know I should just choose one, and it was really fun/interesting to read where everyones name comes from.

Discussion Would you want this, even with the drawback?

13 Upvotes

I am in the process of trying to create my first module, from scratch. Also learning coding at the same time, and of course I picked a biggie: a fully parameterized Literal Fractal sequencer (mandelbrot), graphics included, that could be rhythmically triggered or run at audio rates, with dual output for x and yi coordinates as well as comparator based triggers.

The Drawback::: when you move, zoom, or change parameters other than the live point C youre working with, it has to wait to generate the fractal again before continuing with the sequence (probably not so fun to hear at audio rate). Personally I think that's not a huge deal, as each section of the set is technically infinite variability already. Also, this is nearly entirely because I have not found a multithreading capable processor that's a viable use case for eurorack with like 6 analog inputs. Thoughts? Questions?

So the joke is what I love about modular is the inconvenience and the expense - but the journey has been rewarding in untold ways, and I feel like I am at a place where I have an instrument for performance in a travel friendly 6U 94HP case.

Discussion Module Names

0 Upvotes

I've been coming up with some ideas for modules and trying to decide on names. What are some of your favourite and least favourite module names?

The way I see it number names are both the worst and best. Writing 1047 is much faster than writing ARP 2500 multimode filter but it requires people to know what the number means.

1 word names are fast to write and can hint at what the module does so these are pretty good too. Probably easier to remember than numbers.

The worst I think are pun names like Fourplay but some are so bad they are good like Is Carp Lust Wrong.

Anyone feel strongly about names or do people not really care?

Discussion Case PSU help needed!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently got a 84hp case cut, but i stupidly didn't check the depth of it and realised my plan to get a CP1A PSU and get cracking won't work 😅

So, at the shortest side, it's 55mm, and highest it's 60mm. Any suggestions on what I can do to get power sorted, that ISNT a uZeus.

I wanna try and save some money where I can with this, so even DIY is an option. Me and my dad have done a fair few circuits, and I trust him to help me build a PSU from a kit if needed 😅🤣

Thanks in advance!

Performance Folktek Matter 1 + Erebus + Rample

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

FolkTek is a drum synth but wanted to experiment with breadboards on the Protomato from hivemind synthesis. In this patch i used it as a bassline. Curious if anyone can tell which sound is the erebus? I have heard it has a uniquely distinct sound so been trying to make it not sound like an erebus if that makes sense.
