I tell you what I call it: awesome.

https://soundcloud.com/starthief/0-ctrl-quick-jam Nice track! Great thread! Great controller. Anyone had luck getting steady gates using external clock? Yeah, if the internal clock is not running when the external clock is, the gate output is steady-- but it does something that sounds to me like ex...

Welcome to the forums. How about a mixer and a mult?

Hey Scott-- newbie questions always welcome! Yeah, any positive signal will work for that patch. The most typical would be the Maths CH1 or 4 unity output. If you patch it right, it will sound like crackling and skipping around the contour of the CV patched into it. Also it looks like the Wogglebug ...

Welcome, Ian! I think I would recommend going slowly and using a relatively small subset of modules that don't require screens/modes of any kind. I would personally avoid designs that have a field of undifferentiated jacks like the Neutron or the Mother 32 etc (even though they're cool synths, they'...

Welcome, Ivan!

I think the Matrixbrute is the reigning champion in that respect, but I don't follow the monosynth world so closely.

Personally I would consider getting a eurorack case for that-- wouldn't the matrixbrute make the other monosynths redundant?

More explorations with deep drones and LPG rythms. The 4 outs are super useful to derive as much as possible from a droning sound.

Excellent work as always!

I got my 0-Ctrl on Friday night and have been practicing a few techniques, so I thought I'd share a round of patch tips. These tips could be adapted to any analog sequencer with appropriate clocks/envelopes. It is awesome as a "techno brain" like I used my Voltage Multistage when I had it. It is als...

Patching the clock out to a clock divider or Euclidean sequencer, and then back into Time, can give pretty precise (or algorithmically weird) swing patterns.

That sounds cool-- will have to experiment with that!

Nice patch! I like using the 0-Coast with an SQ1 or Rene etc, but a 3 channel analog sequencer can be so much more immediate for some styles of patching. Especially including its own clock and having smart modulation for that on one of the rows is interesting to me.

oh boy!

How are you liking it so far? I am missing a small and hands on controller since I sold my voltage multistage and am really hoping to recapture some of that magic with the 0-Ctrl.

Great work!

I can't replicate this behavior with my DUSG and SSG.

MIXERS: Severely underhyped modules. Have a patch that is using OR gates? Put both channels into a mixer first so you can bring them in and out or both off. The same applies to basically everything. It is interesting to hear things that change and can be directed in a performance oriented way. See a...

I can reproduce this bug-- but I am not sure what the expected behavior is. If I press PGM_A for example, it is now in mute/unmute mode. If I press PGM_A again, should it exit mute/unmute mode or should it wait for possible machine programming? My preference is to change immediately because sometime...

what is truly missing to the line, is peak and trought, is any of you tried MI kinks for this purpose ? on the paper, it looks that the min/max section is exactly doing this, any experience to be shared about it ?

I use a Doepfer 172, but I imagine kinks would be great, too.

I find LFOs to be almost completely worthless-- even worse if they're bipolar. I use oscillators and slew designs exclusively. I guess there have probably been occasions for the bipolar LFO in my Moog Mother 32, but if it were possible to substitute it for almost anything else, I would. :tu: You ar...

Welcome! I have Rene 2 and Tempi and the manuals for each of them describe how they work with the select bus. I think you'd need to read the other manuals to understand what the intended effects are. Rene + Tempi is super cool because Rene 2 makes it much easier to program Tempi states in my experie...

I don't have a dedicated lfo source, but between all my 25-30 modules I could have over 40 simultaneous lfos running. A dedicated lfo just seems limiting given that most function generators loop and many oscillators can be run at low frequency. Even one of my filters can be an octature lfo. Still, ...

That's what I'm concerned about. These three devices feel like a brilliant way to get the ball rolling, but I fear that a year after you've been using them you might have some creative ideas that you can't really pull off with them as the heart of your eurorack. It's sort of like Apple vs. PC. When...

I think Mother 32 + DFAM is a great combo. I am not convinced of the value of Subharmonicon yet. It seems a lot for what it is and not to have a lot of CV control. The biggest problem I have with playing M32 + DFAM is that there is no good way to mix voltages, no legitimate S&H, no bipolar VCA, no i...

I think it sounds bad in every demo except for JakoGreyshire's, but more importantly for me it seems extremely limited in terms of modulation or what it adds to say a M32/DFAM combo. Another EG and some weird short sequencers-- ok cool, whatever. Maybe I simply don't understand the appeal of this, b...

Locking this-- please use this thread: viewtopic.php?t=198086

Hi All, I recently got a Moog Matriarch and want to create a eurorack to accompany it and to make generative music. [...] Is this too much? And is there anything that I am missing. Do I need a better mixer than the Matriarch? or a better envelope generator (matriarch has 2)? Here is the modulargrid...

Personally I really like the character of the Mimeophon with the added potential of Color/Halo/flip. To me the important thing is that it goes well beyond typical K-S sounds, because I don't find those terribly exciting as such. This is exactly what I was trying to say-- a lot of the Karplus Strong...
