It might also be a good idea to have the Quad VCA on the right side of the middle row, to have the gain knobs more easily accessible (and patching with the Mixology would be simpler too).
This isn't actually how i have it set up... though close. I still need to adjust some things on the Modular Grid since i've been putting them in differently at home but it's pretty close. The Ears is all the way on the top left and i have the send returns on the bottom row all the way to the left for easy pedal patching. Good idea on the Quad. I'll move that over.... plus it looks good next to the Rainmaker. :thumb:

There's quite a few people on Muffs that will DIY for you. I recently bought my Turing Machine from a guy there who was just building kits for people. I'm sure someone on here would help out too

How do you guys tune your modulars? Tuning by ear's one thing, but if you want to set oscillators to specific intervals how do you guys do it?

There are tuners for eurorack. O'Tool has a tuner in it, and the DIY Zeroscope has one as well. (I have the Zeroscope but more often than not I'm just fucking around and go by ear).

I just looked it up and I got mine from waveglider. And I absolutely love it. It's incredibly easy to get interesting sequences from it especially if you pair it with a quantizer. I really like finding a sequence I like, locking it, then slowly modulating the CV to get an evolving sequence. It's at the heart of a lot of my patches now.

I use an o'Tool, which is actually totally worth it if you can find one. I have used just a standard guitar tuner in the past as well.

what a fucking struggle it is to try to fit everything you might need in 6U 84HP, my rack isn't even done and I only have one module for now and I'm already thinking that I'll need more space :p :cry:

lol. i love the 270 hp 9 u case i bought. but. yeah. can see grabbing another one later. only have this about half full right now though.

annnnnnnnnnnd my fucking less than two month old audio interface (a M-Audio M-Track 8) has crapped out on me. well, not completely. but that hum i was having? it's from it. and now one of the main outs isn't working so i am not going stereo. which. fucking. sucks.

i just hit up Amazon about returning it, and am going to TRY to badger them into giving me credit as soon as they receive shipping confirmation. because i spent tooooooo much monies on modules lately and need the credit to grab something else SHARPISH.

because the backup audio interface i have, a Komplete Audio 6, is fucking up too. wooooooooo.

............ going to grab a K-Mix. because fuck it. go big and all. big LITTLE.

Never really paid attention to the K-Mix, but it seems to do so many things that I've been looking for in a mixer. Time to do some more research
