Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
That is a good place to be. I struggle a bit more with the concept of having expensive things with only very niche application

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
That was a bit of my problem too. I basically had a very expensive single voice and sample mangler. Both of which I can achieve much less expensively outside of eurorack. I was trying to focus on only modules that gave me something more than standalone synths could, but it still just didn't feel worth it in the end.coldbrightsunlight wrote:That is a good place to be.

That's what you get for "actually" being able to "play" an "instrument".coldbrightsunlight wrote:That is a good place to be. I struggle a bit more with the concept of having expensive things with only very niche application

Discovered my first regret: a case with sliding nuts instead of the rails where holes are evenly spaced.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
murrrrr i'm torn with stuff like the Lubdah. i'm not sure if it's that i'm near deep/good enough at sampling or that i never used tape for anything to have my interest piqued. so part of me is like WOOOO DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH SIX OF THOSE TILL I FIND THE SPIFFIEST ONE but another part is all AWWWW I DON'T GET IT in a mildy sad face way.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
So I've sold most of my eurorack and really not regretting it at all. All I have left is Marbles, Nebulae, Just Friends, a HEK, and an Intellijel Pedal I/O 1U.
But now I'm looking at the Marbles, Nebulae, and Just Friends sitting in the HEK thinking "hmmm, that makes a nice mini rack".
Someone needs to buy these before I plug them in and fall back down the rabbit hole.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I'm trying to spend less money on eurorack these days. I'm hoping the Instruo modules are my last splurges for a long time.
Of course after making that decision I purchased the ARP 2600 reissue.
I'll probably be shifting my rack's focus (with the modules I already have) to be a companion to that monster.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
I just checked out a couple videos of the 2600 and that thing looks amazing! Totally out of my price range, but I would not mind getting my hands on one. I think the 2600 and my Matriarch would be great friends! Too bad it's a limited release.Muse FTW wrote:I'm trying to spend less money on eurorack these days.

Re: Can we talk about modular synths?
This version is the "FS" (full size) limited run, but I'm 99% sure they're gonna make a smaller version just like the MS-20 mini.MrNovember wrote:I just checked out a couple videos of the 2600 and that thing looks amazing!

Hmm well I could definitely get behind that if it's a more reasonable price.Muse FTW wrote:This version is the "FS" (full size) limited run, but I'm 99% sure they're gonna make a smaller version just like the MS-20 mini.MrNovember wrote:I just checked out a couple videos of the 2600 and that thing looks amazing!

Complete your mission. Execute order 66. Purge all modular. It is your destiny.

Mission is temporarily held up. Pulled them from Reverb, but leaving them listed here and on Muffs. Still haven't decided 100% either way.codetocontra wrote:Complete your mission. Execute order 66. Purge all modular. It is your destiny.
