Also I threw a buffered multiple into the last 2hp that wasn't taken up. Intellijel also has a passive multiple, an Or, and an inverter in 2hp.
Which would you go for? What would be the most useful?
I'm pretty sure the Maths definitely has ADD, OR, and SUB(tract) features in it. I'm sure there's a way to invert input signals too.
I'd probably go with the multiple (though I'm not sure how a multiple differs from stackable patch cords).
I do know that a passive multiple is similar to the stackable cords but a buffered multiple is used to control multiple oscillators with one cv, which I may not need initially but eventually would be useful. More useful than a blank at least
For sure.

Gonna have a new addition into my tiny 3U tonight. Stoked. Pictures soon!

Excited to see it.
PS I saw you over on MuffWiggler, is it a Make Noise module? I recall seeing you in one of those threads but I can't recall which one.

It's a Malekko NoiseRing! I traded my Stillson Hammer for it. Pretty excited to have a second sound source even if it's not a traditional oscillator. I think with the last little space that I have I will get one of those Make Noise oscillators. Running the Trog into 1v per octave is glorious!

I've got this patch going on my Trogotronic with a SUPER slow LFO also sweeping the resonance and cuttoff of my MMG, I think I'm going to use the Antioscillator to trip up the LFO clock for some random self generating patches

Noisering is badass!! An excellent addition would be something like the doepfer offset/attenuator module. The two are sooooo useful together.

I will definitely have to look into one of those. Would one of those also flip polarity of signal? The MMG puts out signal 100% out of phase... DOH
Derp, would help if I imbedded the videos:

Dudes. Cases/racks/power supplies are unbelievably expensive. It's like you look at the price tag, and all it says is "fuck you."
I have found a good solution, though. Pittsburgh Cell 90.
http://www.perfectcircuitaudio.com/cell-90-case.html 90 hp rack with a power supply. And the shittiest sliding nuts you ever saw. No worries, though. Erthenvar has these
http://erthenvar.com/store/eurodiy/case ... e/m25strip
they slide right into the pittsburgh rails. don't forget these:
http://erthenvar.com/store/eurodiy/case ... e/m25zphil because the threaded strips use "m 2.5" screws instead of the "euro standard" M 3. whatever. Ugh. so technical.

The Happy Ending Kit has been mentioned a few times through this thread; by the looks of it a couple ILFers own them.
It might a better alternative to the Pittsburgh Cell 90.
I haven't heard any mention of shitty sliding nuts and I believe the power supply might be better (for my purposes anyways since I'm planning on getting the Braids, which needs a 5V source that the Pittsburgh power doesn't supply):

You can also get the z-ears, rails, and power supply separately for about the same price (different colour and hp options):

them cell 90s look legit. i might just build my shit into a zero case since i'm already doing that to the buchla

Anyone have experience with the Intellijel uStep?
I like the idea of a 4hp sequencer

I don't, but its considered a slam dunk on the wiggler board. Go for it

My experience with other Intellijel modules have made me want to shout, "Fuck Yea!"
If you're handy with working with wood, I think this is the best way to go
http://www.analoguehaven.com/doepfer/a100diy1/ You will have a 6U case for $200 + cost of wood and you can stretch it even further if you don't mind drilling holes into wooden rails for mounting modules. The PSU that comes with the DIY Kit#1 is rock solid! I'll post a pic of a case I made with an extension later. If anyone local to Waldorf MD wants it, its yours fo free!
Yes, the Noisering is insanely awesome! Highly recommended as a first Wiard module.

Thinking about how to fill the last little gap in my 3U, either going to go with chutneyfarmers suggestion of the Doepfer offset/attenuator (cause they're cheap and small) or a Moddemix. Because who doesn't like Ringmod and flashing lights?
