Mixing inside Eurorack

I finally gave up on mixing externally or via my mac, instead I will try to put a complete mixing console, including FX sends into my eurorack.

This will definitely upgrade live performances.

After Later Audio Bartender

the main mixer module with 4 channels and output + cueing

After Later Audio Barback

and this one, I bought twice for 4 more extra channels

Next modules for my Eurorack

Divkid Ochd Expander

some more modulation outputs derived from the Ochd module, the musicstore will get rich with me as a customer 😀

Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter Special Edition

hell yeah, I really like this filter an absolute beast, still thinking about buying the deluxe version

Doepfer A-151 Quad Sequential Switch Vintage Edition

hopefully this module will bring some automated chnages for my voice selection

Doepfer A-180-2V Multiple Vintage Edition

you can never have enough multiples, right ?

a few more eurorack additions

Another week of OnCall passed, time to invest the extra money into some more eurorack modules….

Squarp Hermod+

not using the sequencer functionality right now, for me it is more or less a 8/8 channel USB bridge from my Akai Force

Expert Sleepers ES-9

I use this one to connect to VCV Rack and have DC coupled modulation going from my mac to the eurorack

Instruo EAS

yes probably the most expensive logic module, but I had the money…. 😉

Eurorack – again

still searching for more self-generating melodic patterns….

Vermona Melodicer

this one is a great probabilistic pattern sequencer, it is so easy to enrich patterns with more notes, and come back to more sparse notes or completely blend into different base chords

After Later Audio Fuse

yet another Mutable Instruments clone of Warps, but with an updated Parasites firmware with many more new modes

Eurorack power up issues

Spent the whole weekend reorganizing my eurorack modules, but I still have powerup issues for some modules, so I decided to buy one more WMD softstart adapter. Hopefully this will help, otherwise I need another expensive power supply.

WMD Softstart

delays the power on current flow for a “low energy module” so that the bigger ones can get the startup juice first 😉

And of course I could not resist to get some extras….

DPW Design SW-1

the module version of my self mode simple A/B switch boxes, much more convenient, I use them a lot

Erica Synths Pico Input

always good to fill some tiny gaps with useful modules…. this one allows for quick audio input from various sources shifted to eurorack levels

Beautifying my Eurorack

Befaco Bananuts – beautiful color anodized aluminum nuts

since I’m a visual guy everything has to be color coded in my rack,
who wants to learn every jack’s function or read fancy fonts when you simply see which color does what

My color coding:
Midi/Clock – Purple
Audio – Blue/Red
CV – Silver
V/Oct – Yellow
Trigger – Green
Modulation – Black

After Later Audio Popple

a clone of Mutable Instruments Ripples V1, multimode filter

Another Behringer Eurorack Go case

same problem, too many modules and still not enough power 😀

After Later Audio SHTH

a sample and hold, and track and hold module in 2HP

Eurorack – Endorphines Cockpit Firmware Update video

Since a lot of people are asking in forums how to update firmware on STM devices like the Endorphines Cockpit, I decided to make a few slides and record this process so people can follow easily.

Just mute if you don’t like the background track.

I was just doing a quick 3min patch with my Ochd and Quasar to see if all went fine.

Thanks to Endorphin.es for continously improving their firmware releases.

Sequencer – Dnipro Metamorph
Voice – Behringer Brains
Modulation – Instruo Ochd
FX – Qu-Bit Nautilus, Neuzeit Instruments Quasar
Mix – Endorphines Cockpit
