Eurorack 1
My first Eurorack setup, nearing completion (view on ModularGrid). Working title is BFE (Babby's First Eurorack).
As much as I wanted a Tiptop Audio Mantis case, I couldn't wait any longer and went for an Arturia RackBrute 6U instead. It's a perfectly fine starter case, and I can always double up later if when I need more room. Interestingly, I have somehow managed to overshoot the width by 1 HP on both rows. It's a little tight, but everything still fits.
The Listen module produces an awful hum on both outputs, even when their levels are completely down. I thought it was poor noise filtering on a power header, but it has returned since disappearing briefly. I've ruled out proximity to the DATA and my desk lamp's USB power supply as possible causes. More experimentation is necessary.
Modules
Add pages for the rest of the current modules.
| Module | Width | Depth | Current (12V) | Current (-12V) | Current (5V) | Functions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doepfer A-148 | 4HP | 30mm | 20mA | 20mA | 0mA | S+H, T+H |
| Befaco AC/DC | HP | mm | mA | mA | mA | USB |
| Bastl Instruments Aikido | 11HP | 24mm | 120mA | 120mA | 0mA | VCA, mixer, envelope follower |
| Qu-Bit Electronix Bloom | 16HP | 82mA | 0mA | 0mA | sequencer, random, quantizer | |
| Mordax DATA | 16HP | 35mm | 250mA | 60mA | 0mA | oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, signal generator |
| Expert Sleepers Disting Ex | HP | mm | mA | mA | mA | |
| Tiptop Audio MISO | 10HP | 42mm | 55mA | 55mA | 0mA | mixer, attenuverter, offset |
| Mutable Instruments Plaits | 12HP | 25mm | 50mA | 5mA | 0mA | oscillator |
| ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's Pro Workout | HP | mm | mA | mA | mA | clock, LFO |
| 4MS Quad Pingable LFO | 12 HP | mm | mA | mA | mA | LFO |
| 4ms Spherical Wavetable Navigator | 26HP | 25mm | 185mA | 30mA | 0mA | oscillator, lfo, stereo, polyphonic, wavetable |
Where to next? More effects, sequencing, and envelopes. Another oscillator or two wouldn't hurt. See here for the planned layout and the toys section of my wishlist for purchase links. While it actually fits within the case's specified width, I still need to verify that it meets the power consumption and depth constraints.
I am tempted to replace my Listen 4 Quarters with another mixer, possibly two Befaco Stmix modules.
