OK so I learned stackables are for sending multiple CV instead of receiving multiple CV.. cool to know. it'd be cooler if you could stack receiving cvs!!



so if you have a bunch of VCAs, you need a bunch of modulation right? now I'm getting stuck.. what do you think would be the best way to get the most out of this? what would be a suitable replacement for batumi until I can actually find one used? looking to get complex drones out of this while also processing some field samples.. I'll be using a beatstep pro along with this

A Mutable Peaks might be good for you resincum, two envelopes/lfos/drum voices.

Bastl CV Trinity might be a good match. 6 CV sources (random, lfo, ad/ar, or knob recorders). I would suspect the knob recorders could go well with clouds (and you could use them as a non-quantized 32 step sequence...Or use it as like a freeze/hold trigger gen). It has an internal clock too.

Continuing from above:

You probably have to figure out what works for you, but using some kind of trigger generator into the sync in on the sq-1 would probably give you some step length variation. Or use a switch to alternate two different envelopes or something to give it a move dynamic feel and rhythm while keeping the same basic sequence.

Also, you may want some variation on the vca front. Linear, exponential, 4-quad, and lpg are all different enough to justify some variety. The synthrotek dual vca has both expo/Lin in 4 hp and the Ryo has three different steps between linear and expo in their three vca 4hp module.

Moddemix is a dual 4 quadrant multiplier vca with an aux in that works as a mixer.

Ring mods can be used as a vca in a pinch too.

Bastl skis has two decay only envelopes and two vcas in 5hp.

Peaks is a great option, has a lot in it and there is the Dead Mans Catch Firmware that only offers more. Pico DSP is also a great small option for various effects in a small space. Maybe take a look at the Dreadbox Phaser to get some more cool sounds.

Agreed on Peaks, although I'm finding the interface a little difficult, especially with DMC installed. I basically have to have a cheat sheet at all times, same with Disting. They're not the most intuitive modules. Maybe a Quadra would be nice for straightforward modulation/envelopes in there?

The Dreadbox Phaser also has 2 LFO outs, very handy. You can clock a whole patch from it, just to sync with the phase.
A Roland FX module in or outside of the rack is more powerful than a Disting. Doesn't do all the same stuff, but most of it plus lots of other stuff, and more stuff at once, up to 6x more.

thx dudes.. I ended up going with the Peaks. dug into o_C after and I'm king of thinking I should of went with that? that thing is a fucking powerhouse.. too late tho also ended up going for a Phonogene over the clouds.. muahahahahaha!!! I have 20hp left. gotta figure out how to get the most out of this stuff. I can easily see myself expanding in a couple of months oh and I'm definitely getting an Aira module or two. that behind the scenes virtual sub module stuff is next level.

You can always get Peaks and o_C.

o_C can do way too many things, it's pretty much an essential module for any system at this point and I would recommend that everyone has one.


in other news: I think the person who was selling me the Intellijel Metropolis honeydicked me. Bummer.

heheh.. I thought the same so what am I missin? some frikkin VCAs amirite


6hp left

Perfect size for the Intellijel Dual uVCA!

Hmmmm...

WMD/SSF DPLR and a 2HP vca

or

Moddemix

WELL WARPSMASHER....I just read your posts about the aira stuff on muff so I Snagged one of those and am going to wait a good bit before I Commit to anything else for now thx for all your help buddies

Awesome, enjoy

Aira stuff is really good...Awesome choice. (The delay is great on guitar too)

Disting Mk4 in! So many functions it's a little overwhelming

Already found several modes that would probably be worth the HP on their own though, so I'm very happy it.
