Sounds powerful! Thank you.

I've got one for White Noise conditionning :) so i can use it as shakers and hihats :)

I love these simple, little 1U modules that can fill a niche while filling an empty slot when you can't find anything else to fill it. I just picked up a passive Bear module on Etsy. Its only function is to light up when it sees a signal but it's great for when you don't feel like patching or repatching something else to make sure a signal is on the line while troubleshooting.

Where is that accent from?

I couldn’t understand your description of the lager version. Even with closed caption on

With all these cool dinky modules, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a line of all 1u case

Is there any way to simulate a rest.

The kobol sounds great. Big fat tone 👍

To each his own, I happen to really like the MyVOLTS cables. I got in on the MyVOLTS Kickstarter so I got a bunch at a really good price in a lot of different lengths and colors. My rack is also pretty vertical so they lay pretty nicely. And more blinky lights never hurt anyone ;) That being said, I also have some of the Cre8audio cables and I like those too. Buy what you like and what works for you.

Modular Synth Lab from Etsy, perfect cables in different lenghts

noodels, are sh....t , I have "had" many, every week one breaks. :-(

Thanks again for sharing, excellent module

🤠🤠🤠

Thank you, I just bought one last night. Greetings from Michigan USA

I know this is more of a consumer focused channel but for any technical people out there, this simple module uses an STM32H750 which is more advanced that what Mutable Instruments is using in Plaits. I think they had to use such a powerful processor because there is very little latency as the module records in a sample and plays it back in real time. I’m boring I know but I find it interesting when seemingly simple modules have very complex circuitry and programming going on that isn’t apparent to the end user.

I have a stnth duster, its iust a girls make up brush 👍

Nice comparison. It’s a great sounding rock snare and block style percussion. The Tip-top 808 obviously covers a different kind of sound but sounds more rough, which I like.

That quantizer is out of pitch. I've heard its a common issue with the 2hp quantizer.

You can totally do this analog using a sample and hold and a quantizer. The S&H triggered by a square VCO set to the sample rate frequency will create the stepped voltages and then quantizing them over 5 octaves of semitones gives you roughly 6 bits. There's more fine grained quantizers that can process smaller steps than semi tones and could easily allow up to 8 or 9 bits

Which modules do you know use the Daisy? I know the similar Teensy is used on Music Thing Modular Radio Music and Ornament and Crime

I understand your opinion but kind of expected that you tried a module before saying you dont like it? Really doesn’t make sense to put a product down you haven’t used. I came here to watch this because i expected that you had hands on experience with this module.

5:20 hehehe :D nice review

Hey, congrats on the patch... what do you think about Isi Wren for generative? Does it require an external clock? I'm thinking about getting it and Tryfelo too as an LFO which I can use as a clock source. Thanks!

Thank you for making this, it was very useful.

Great video. I thought I was a neophyte for shunning digital modules. I do own 2: Quadrax digital function gen; Noise Engineering BIA (new version). I refuse to menu dive - I lived thru the 90s.

I really like the case overall, which I got used at a great price! But I have had trouble with certain modules fitting, especially ones that are 2hp and I'm trying to use to fill the entire rack. Something about the way the fixed rack sits, I guess there are some advantages to racks with sliding nut setups.

Hi, thanks for such a good overview!! Do you happen to know if the a-198 would work to control software as smoothly as in eurorack ? Im thinking of getting it and a midi/cv module to use as a vst controller, but im wondering if in the cv to midi the pitch/v per octave transformation there might be some stepping or issues like that... could there be any issues or am i just worrying too much? Thanks a lot!!

I guess I have to be the first one to say that this module freaking rocks! Sparse in what it does and not a game changer, but worth it for just the snare hits alone. The entire line of modules is worth a look for anyone, but especially with the budget minded synth lover. Imagine if Doepfer were a little company from Brazil.

I use two of them, on the top left and right middle ends in a 168hp x 9 Doepfer case. With the ribbon cable interconnect and It's like folding the box in half when routing from one end to the other. Saves 14 wires, and it's clean. The CAT cables still work (too!) talking to other boxes. Crosstalk hasn't been a problem with clocks and audio so far, but I'm cautious with note CVs. The four ribbon cables for internal interconnect can be light and fussy to lay in. What the A-180-9 does for the case is cool.

👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

I have read on MW that center detents can be expensive to engineer. Easy to say cost cutting isnt worth it if you're not a manufacturer fighting for customers in a crowded market. Not disagreeing with your post, just saying it's probably not mere inattention that leads to these deficiencies.

Being a vca+filter combo would you say that this could be seen and used as a classic LPG as well?

I really love my Kobol. I think is the best one from their 80/70hp series. The only thing that pisses me off (but just a bit 😁) is the insane amount of power it requires if you want to place it into a eurorack system.

So sorry about what happened with Mdlr cases… I hope you were able to sort it out somehow… or at least to have your money back!

Safely drill into the module and make the hole bigger? I did this for 0coast and now everything fits cleanly 👍 it's not ideal, but it was a quick and simple fix

sounds badass for $69. and I don't even like most spring reverbs.. will have to get one.. thanks Professor

Nice demonstration!

Sounds quite good for what it is.

The Tesseract TexMix panners have detents, and the Squarp Rample pots do as well. None of my other modules have detents, but I don't often find myself missing them. I adjust with my ears, and sometimes close counts.

I guess the manufacturers think the average Racker won’t bother to check it.

Those center detents on pots & faders are not an exact science anyway... even with them locked in, you're never sure to actually be in the middle... I'd even say it is a bit of a cosmetic or a feel-good feature...

cost cutting, its bs

100% Agree

I wonder what would happen if I connected the output of one to the input of a second arp?

Nice 👍🏻👋 from France

I like that one, dislike that its hard to find the desired waveform the knob position / lettering is not precise so you might be in sth. different than you want. (or have to use an oscilloscope)

When hard syncing a LFO, you get a rather drastic voltage shift which can result in clicks. Slew limiting can solve that. What you suggest; a bleeding gate to the output would be a major design error, I hope that is not the case.

The tune knob is not discussed here. It is a bit confusing as it seems to be the base pitch to which the v/oct in signal is added. You would probably think it was a bipolar fine tune but it is not. Its a small knob for the whole 8 octave range when you try to set it. You can assign the param cv in to it and use something else from outside to set it such as a bigger knob if its sending an 8 v range and you put this knob to zero. Though it does not save the parameter setting so you would have to do it again every time you switch on. I think the supersaw sounds very wonky here and it may be due to the above noted fact,

The Basic Doepfer VCO sounds better than the standard one. I have both and I always go for my Basic . I’d rather have 2 Basic’s now and get rid of the standard . It just hits harder and sounds wides for some reason

what happens if i connect noise output to step sequencer? does it change the pitch
