@crudeoperator an 0-Coast can be used in eurorack.
a friend got one and had it in his rack for a while.
@crudeoperator – the Braids is difficult to cover in its entirety 
When it comes to wavetables, it’s a bit on the safer side, I’d say, but the versatility… It can do harsh, as well. And you also get a ton of different stuff besides the wavetables. The pluk algorithm is reminiscent of Rings, theres the phase distortion modeling of the Casio CZ range, supersaws, wavefold models, etc. etc… It’s not as boring as people make it out to be. Plus, there’s a built-in VCA/envelope logic, with modulation options, bit reduction, the META mode for going through different algorithms…
My main qualms would probably be that it’s not great for FMing the sound of Braids, and that there’s two modulation points per model. Which is sometimes plenty, though…
Does anyone have recommendations on where i can find blank panels that look cool?
I have lots of interesting 4hp modules and it really get fiddly in a big patch so decided perhaps its best to buy a bunch of 2hp dividers and put them between each 4hp module. Also i have some 8hp gaps that woud be good to fill. Obv can just buy doepfer ones, but i sort of assumed there might be a market for cooler looking panels but cant seem to find anything.
I’ve looked into this a fair bit and there doesn’t seem to be much out there. Getting coloured acrylic panels cut was the only option I found but ended up just getting Doepfer ones. Get some cool stickers?!
@aswefallintostatic contact the guy(s) at www.magpiemodular.com See if they can help you out.
@sable thanks for the link! I discovered that a 1x14 lego brick more or less does the same as a 1 u tile, you can add some extra bricks on the top to stop it falling in.
I have a quick question. what would you all recommend for a sync in on an oscillator if you want to send clock, a hard or soft sync in? clock will be from pamela’s workout, an op-1 or a volca.
@curdledgurled not sure I understand the question: Do you just want to sync clock or sync the actual oscillator wave forms? For the former you should already be all set by going from the OP-1 in Pony mode to the Volca and then to the clock in on the Workout. For the latter you’d probably need something like this Analogue Systems RS-30 - Eurorack Module on ModularGrid and another pulse oscillator to feed the frequency CV to. That would then generate sync signals for your original oscillator. Not sure what that would sound like but it might be awesome 
I’m guessing there’s some confusion with the term sync.
with oscillators, sync usually refers to hard sync - that is, everytime the oscillator that is sent to sync in has a sharp rising edge, the synced oscillator starts its phase from zero. Thus the waveform ends up looking something like this:
Using just a “regular” clock pulse (say, every 4 steps) in an oscillator’s sync input would probably sound very unremarkable indeed.
So usually oscillator sync is best used with other audio rate waveforms. Other forms of sync, that actually work with clock pulses, are a matter apart.
If all this is clear to you, sorry
thanks!! my question was just if its possible to send a clock signal into an oscillator then into my sequencer module for example.
Oscillators don’t typically use clock signals, but sure, by using a multiple, AKA mult.
thanks, how do people keep things in time than? what should i send clock into, my sequencer i guess? im pretty clueless here, thanks again all for being such a help.
Things that eat clocks are typically sequencers or time-based effects (delays), and LFO’s can also be synced with clocks. The sync inputs in oscillators usually affect the timbre more than anything concerning timing.
And, no worries – this is what I do for a hobby 
Started getting into Eurorack a couple months ago, this is where I'm at today.
@heatseekerrr how do you like the BeatstepPro? I was well stoked about it at first but I find myself avoiding it lately… In any case, I noticed you don’t have a Maths yet
thanks, how do people keep things in time than? what should i send clock into, my sequencer i guess? im pretty clueless here, thanks again all for being such a help.
Its worth looking into the architecture of an analogue synth and how the signal flow of a classic mono synth is structured. On most synth layouts lots of the connecting pieces (often called utility modules) are hidden. If you want to get a note sequence happening in time to your clock signal you need something like the following:
Clock in
v
v
v
Sequencer (creates note values and triggers)
v v
v v
v v
note values to oscillator triggers to ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release)
v v
v v
v v
v v
combine output of ADSR with output of oscillator using a VCA (voltage controlled amplifier)
v
v
v
Output (generic modular blips)
Now just add your favourite Filter, a few LFO’s and you have the basic architecture an analogue mono synth 
@crudeoperator I like the Beatstep Pro, for the price I don’t think it can be beat. It has its limitations though. If I had cash to burn I’d get one of the new MPCs.
Maths is on the list of what to get next!
Maths is my most used module. Big MN fanboy here.

Love the functionality, hate the build quality.
Sequencing question here…
I’m using my OP1 to sequence my modular through the oplab. OP1 to OPLab over USB then Gate and CV out into my oscillator (or Maths, also love that one). As long as I’m running a sequence on the OP1 everything is fine but as soon as I stop I get a constant signal out of it, as if the VCA is left open. Is there a way to set things so the gate is shut by default when a sequence isn’t running?
Relatively new to all this, thanks so much in advance for any help.
