Super dig this approach. I feel like most eurorack content leans heavy into the modular groovebox angle when I’ve always been trying to create my own instrument a la an acoustic or electric instrument. Love seeing someone else with the same idea! If you feel so inclined, I’d love to see a patch from scratch video with this setup.
Not an all-in-one percussion module per se BUT I've been using the Doepfer A-142-4 Quad Decay to give sharp, snappy envelopes to stuff in the rack without too much of a cost $ and hp
Such an informative video! Thanks for putting so much time into this. The radio antenna thing. Not sure how helpful this is, but I learned you can get these cheap ferrite bead clip ons for your power and audio cables to cut out a lot of noise and they work amazingly well if you hook up your whole studio with them. Also definitely as you said-having more space between signal cables and power cables is key, and whenever possible do not run audio cables and power cables physically parallel to each other because it introduced interference into the audio signal whereas if they just crossed perpendicular at one or two points you won't get nearly as much noise maybe some but not nearly as much. Cheers! And thanks so much for a great video! Definitely want to check out some of these modules when I build a rack one of these days. I'm still loving semimodular for now.
@@Sound_ology Amazon I think like $12-$15 for a decent size pack. I was surprised at what it did for my setup but when I did it I went nuts and hit every single power cable in the whole room and then moved all power to pull from one 36 outlet surge protector because the other problem is always ground loop isolation. If you use multiple outlets for your gear when the grounds connect the ground wire itself becomes a giant radio antenna through the wall and the floor from one outlet to another. 🤯 I had no idea until I started researching and.. y'know the science there makes sense.
Always enjoy hearing folks' thought processes for planning systems! Intellijel Plonk could be a consideration as a bass drum replacement - leans into the general physical/acoustic modeling philosophy, but it may be a bit menu divey for your taste. It seems like you really value immediacy in module interfaces, which Plonk definitely isn't. Worth watching a video or too though, to see if it clicks with you.
Yeah I can’t do menus…it’s like I can’t help but stare at the screen if it’s there, and I feel better when I’m not looking at a screen. Plonk does sound really good though

Loving this. For more videos like this one, would you consider posting a link to the rack on ModularGrid?
Thanks! Here it is www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2474562

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into the ferrite beads thing, my power is pretty dirty!

amazing thank for sharing the knowledge
Since you asked- consider swapping out the Erika kick for the SSF SSG. Fits with the modeling them and kicks so dang hard
😌 holy moly that’s an amazing suggestion. I didn’t know that existed…spot on

Qwetchman 😂 🎉 that’s how i‘m going to say it from now on!
Hahah I can’t help but mispronounce it!
@@Sound_ology …legend says, that the name was specifically designed to be mispronounced… So far, your mispronunciation is the coolest :)
Only 18 seconds into the video you put the ribbon cable on the WRONG WAY on the module. HILARIOUS!!!
The intro is a montage of classic Eurorack mistakes
Me: “you don’t need another module
*see’s a car radio module
Me: *sigh…. click, buy 🤦🏻♀️
Hahah it’s so cool!!!
