BuySellRoot Monthly Modular Buy Sell Trade Thread

With any sort of trade, please be careful if you don't know the other user. Request additional pictures beyond the initial time stamp. If you want to be extra careful ask for something specific like for them to patch a specific patchpoint in the image. Try reverse image searching to make sure it isn't just an edited picture from somewhere else. Be specific with how you expect the items to be packaged and when the ship date is going to be. If a trade goes sour and someone can show that the pre-agreed terms weren't honored I will permanently ban the offending trader.

Consider using something something like PayPal's "Goods and Services" instead of friends and family. Sending a stranger money via friends and family is just asking to be scammed. I also recommend checking that the user has some positive history in the sub - especially to verify that they aren't banned from here! Almost every scammer on here has no history in the sub.

**IMPORTANT** \- Do not spam the comments with your listings. Please limit your listings here to 1 per month. If you get new items or things change, just edit your original post. When possible simply edit the original post; there is no need to announce new items in a separate comment. Try to limit the clutter.

Do not delete your posts and re-post to bump back up to the top. BEHAVE PLEASE.

Pictures are not required in the thread (though you should request them by DM), but ANY picture sent by DM or in linked in the thread MUST be physically timestamped.

**PRICES MUST ALWAYS BE POSTED** This includes trades so that everyone involved knows the fair value of the modules they're looking to swap

**RESIST THE URGE TO COMMENT ON PRICING** if you don't like a price, simply ignore it. There is no reason to go around pointing out that the item is cheaper new, or reverb prices, or anything else.

Using the XAOC Zadar to shape multiple CV points. The 4 ramps are being sent to control FM index, wavefolder, pitch dive & amplitude mod of a VCA for that trem effect. One of the ramps is inverted and sending a Xfade signal to blend the two modules as well as shape a bandpass filter. VCA is being modulated with tiptop audio Z3000, Transient kick element is Basimilus Iteritas Alter, as one does.

The Anti-GAS thread: Modules that continue to stand the test of time for you?

42 Upvotes

I am deeply prone to GAS and have long-since accepted that my eurorack system is an evolving organism constantly subject to change and that that's just part of the fun of the hobby to me.

For for those similarly afflicted I was curious about your longest-running modules, the ones that never seem to be put upon the alter of B/S/T sacrifice.

Here are some of mine in what's now a reasonably robustly-sized system:

- Pam's New Workout: It's not so much that it's one of my favorite modules, but it's my core clocking module and it's useful and not one I ever think about selling.

- Mordax DATA: Acquired very early in the hobby, I just think of it as my CV monitor and never think about trading it.

- Make Noise Maths: A classic for a reason.

- Xaoc Moskwa II, Warna II, and Belgrad: Xaoc in general is an increasingly stable brand in my system, I love their stuff and suspect the Praga, Tallin, and their other filters are also unlikely to go anywhere, but the three I mention are the longest-standing. Warna II in particular are such a great utility, I have 3 and use them all.

- Noise Engineering Versio: I have 3 of these also and have for some time. So many great firmwares. I wouldn't sneeze at a 4th.

- Schlappi Three Body: For a time I was changing out complex oscillators regularly, until I landed on the Three Body. Three interrelated oscillators that can be audio voices or modulators or a combination of both, with 14 outputs and 32 patchpoints is tough to beat.

- Instruo Lubadh & Arbhar: I wouldn't say "never" on these, but they're now very long-standing and the core of so many noise/drone patches. They feel like family.

- Verbos Amp & Tone: This is the weird one. It has a noise floor and can pick up noise from surrounding modules depending where it's placed in the system. But I've had it so long and I just love the sound of it, it has such a gnarly howling resonance, and I actually kind of like its noise floor which reminds me of a gentle bed of cassette hiss. I can never quite bring myself to offer it away.

So what are some of yours?

Does CV delay exist?

13 Upvotes

Kinda random thought but is there a way to delay a gate or a pitch by a beat or two? Could be a very obvious way to do this that I haven’t thought about but maybe there’s even a module specifically for this??

Performance Plants & Synthesizers: Minimal Botanical Ambient Music | Moog Mother-32 Live Set (Semi-Modular)

I just posted a new synthesizer live set on my Exuvioth youtube channel!

Experimental semi-modular botanical ambient music, designed to enhance plant growth and development.
Inspired by nature and recurring botanical forms.

Sound design signals created using the Moog Mother-32, processed to add reverb/delay in Ableton Live.

I'm experimenting with different layouts and angles for recording these live sets, I'm still fairly new to creating this type of content, so any recording tips would be appreciated!

Discussion Modular & Neurodiversity

As I disassemble and re-assemble my rack for the nth time (and reflect that my ratio of different module configurations to tracks completed is >>1), I have to ask: any other neurodiverse folks find themselves drawn by the tactility of modular? I sometimes think I enjoy this part of it as much as the actual music.

Ladik A-586 or similar line in to euro out.

1 Upvotes

Hey Folks, Does anyone know of a module similar to the Ladik A-586? I’m looking to input eight line level drum machine channels into my modular environment, and cannot find a good option. The A-586 would be ideal, especially with its 8hp footprint, but Ladik seems to not be making this module (or all modules?) anymore. Prebuilt or DIY are both okay. Also if anyone has an A-586 they’re looking to sell please send me a message. Thanks all!

which version?

i have v1 with most of these modules except QXG, i want to have the 4 oscillator voices sequenced by pams euclidian sequencers with 4 different bar lengths, ( or gamut repetitor sequences ) into 4 low pass gates, to create generative non repeating patterns.

  • i am trying to get the most useful1U row i can.
  • v1 has a quadratt and a simple 1U in, 1U out and a 1U vca and add a 2hp low pass filter.
  • v2 has the aux mix and stereo i/o which adds 3x stereo mixer inputs and cue, then i could put a 2hp dual vca but i guess i lose the attenuverter from quadratt and 2h low pass filter.

any thoughts which of these setups is better, or any thoughts on improving them?

thanks!

A year into my modular journey. Though I want two more filters, I feel I should settle down and maximize use of what I have. I've managed to find a lot of good used deals, and also built a few DIY modules. Some modules bought new. Great hobby. Great community.

Discussion Flurry is so good!!

16 Upvotes

A couple weeks ago, I recorded a bunch of drum samples from my modular and am now going through the recordings. Omg, Flurry is seriously such a gem for weird snares. Nearly forgot how much I squeezed out of it with a little VCA and envelope.

If anyone is looking for a fun noise generator module, I'd highly recommend checking out Flurry.

Very curious to hear any else's experience with this one or other noise generator modules for making interesting perc sounds.
