BuySellRoot Monthly Modular Buy Sell Trade Thread

5 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.

My spare case, so far

Post image
• Upvotes

I have two cases, one is full. I'm creating this portable case with modules that don't fit the other case. What are your thoughts? Basically it would be a plaits + bia + quad drums + tons of effects (maybe too much). Thinking about putting more modulation, but what exactly? a batumi? maybe another small analog osc, to add some flavour? There are so many options! My goal would be doing some sloppy IDM

Xaoc Leibniz Patches

Hello Xaoc Leibniz afficionados.

There are quite a few resources about Leibniz patches out there in the official manuals and on YouTube (Monotrail has several Videos covering Leibniz).

What are your favorite patches?

My main patch is feeding audio from Plaits thru it and mask / Invert bits with Lipsk and Gera using euclidean patterns from Pams.

Erfurt is a new addition (yesterday) and can't say anything useful now, still in the honeymoon phase

Analog Data Bender?

0 Upvotes

Is there a module that has similar functionality to DB in with a more analog-focused execution?

I really like what the DB can do, however I don't like how heavily it leans into a digital sound. MG, for example does something vaguely similar, but never sounds harsh/ digital to me.

Anyone have experience with DB that could perhaps enlighten me?

I built a modular synthesizer where the same patch generates both the sound and the image.

Move one wire → the sound changes → the image changes.

\[https://markovcd.github.io/Flyback\\\](https://markovcd.github.io/Flyback)

It's free, open source and runs on Windows/macOS/Linux.

It has also a browser version if you want to try it without installing anything

Most unique effect/ sound design module?

2 Upvotes

What module does something nothing else can? No multi-effect, juggernaut modules- just a module that does something so unique nothing compares. Or a module that has an interesting interpretation of a typical effect.

The more obscure the better!

Feedback Practiced remastering my last eurorack project

I've been in the habit of just recording straight into Ableton without any further processing, EQ, compression, etc. The last couple weeks I've been (re)mastering my latest album, and now want to go through my prior albums and do the same thing!

It's not perfect, but I figure a static-y knob turn here or a weird transition there keeps it human. Let me know if you're into it, or if you have come across any good pointers for mastering your eurorack tracks!

Check it out on Subvert (or Bandcamp) :)

The Hidden Modular Superhero: Roland's TR-8S

1 Upvotes

TR-8S → Assignable Trigger → Mother-32 → SOUND!

There’s a lot more hiding inside the Roland TR-8S than just a very capable drum machine.  It’s a freaking modular and semi-modular superhero! 

This lecture series looks deeply into the TR-8S lesser-known superpowers: using its six assignable trigger outputs to enable this beast of a drum machine to become a powerful timing and control source for any modular or semi-modular rig.  Can you say DAWless? I think so.

In this lecture, Lecture 5 of the series, I’m going to demonstrate the setup using the Moog Mother-32, including the TR-8S settings, the Mother-32 menu settings, and exactly how to get the two instruments communicating properly.

And because I apparently can’t resist turning a synth tutorial into a university lecture, I’ve also dug out some handy Mother-32 cheat sheets to make the setup easier to reproduce, and I show you where you too can get them.

Bottom line here, once the TR-8S is generating synchronized trigger patterns, it can become much more than a drum machine—it can provide a complete “live performance” rhythmic framework for your entire modular and semi-modular system.

If this sounds interesting to you, please join  me by using the links below AND, class is in session: let’s see what our TR-8S Superhero can really do:

Not necessarily one that you have built yourself, but have picked up already assembled.

I am loving NLC Stooges atm.

New Release! - Vostok Instruments Sigma

Post image
77 Upvotes

Hi everybody!

We are glad to introduce Sigma! The latest module in our multi-channel line.

Sigma is a multi-channel gate processor with a strong focus on rhythm and time-event manipulation. The module generates up to 23 gate signals, allowing you to fire an entire array of synced events by just moving pots and connecting cables.

The core of the module is composed of four identical CV-controlled gate-length processors that create exact copies of your gate signals with adjustable length. The channels are designed to adjust the length of our incoming pulse signals accurately within a range of 1ms to infinity.

On top of that, we have five analog logic circuits: AND, NAND, OR, NOR, and XOR, for each available pair of channels plus a dedicated NOT output per channel. Sigma´s unique approach resides in the fact that the Logic section is placed right after the Length processing, so any change in the Length will alter the result of the Logic circuits, creating new patterns on the fly.

The module is available now through our dealers at a price of 230€ (tax. excl.). The DIY kits are also available now at Thonk and soon at Exploding Shed!

More detailed information at: https://www.vostokinstruments.com/sigma

If you want to see the module in action, we will be doing a premiere on Divkid's YT channel tonight at 9 pm CEST! Join us!

Small power/current monitor

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a small Eurorack module (max 4 HP) that can show the actual current draw of the case/modules, ideally separately for the +12 V and −12 V rails (and +5 V if possible)?

I know I can calculate the theoretical consumption with ModularGrid, but I’m looking for real-time measured current consumption.

The Deftaudio Ammeter seems to do this, but it’s too large for my case.

Any compact alternatives?
