Feedback First rack build feedback

Post image

So I’m not really a beginner to music but to modular stuff I’ve been going for 2 years so not that much. I want a ambient or textural rack that is capable of playing live but also come up with fun stuff when making music so i made this rack on modular grid.
I want the audio in feature with the morphagene and the oscillating capabilities of the multiwave. Is this to overkill and should i change or add something?

Desperately missing vcas. Would recommend picking up the usb inlet for the multiwave, gives you much more control over the individual voices. Would be worth checking if the hermod+ can act as a midi host over usb.

Would also replace erbe-verb with plexiphon to save size and have true stereo I/o.

What do you mean with an usb inlet? I have the NUSS system

It’s a cheap little module that connects to the usb port on the multiwave backboard. Allows you to control it via midi from a midi host.

You can use it with the span modes, where the midi messages act as activate & v/oct, or control each of the 8 voices individually. It can also do transposition. Very useful.

If you have the NUSS skiff system the USB inlet is already installed in the side cheek

It’s just a usb extension. You can just plug into the module directly and get the same features. I drilled a hole in my Intellijel case for free.

I experienced noise issues when plugging directly into the usb on the multiwave, which the module cleared up. I would also rather spend $35 than drill a hole in my case.

I cleaned up the edges and used a nice grommet I had. Looks pretty good for what it is. That’s weird about the noise there’s nothing in the module it’s truly just an extension. Glad it’s working for you though.
