be careful man…I had a momentary lapse of reason…went nuts getting modules.
so much money.
then clarity came to me, and I was able to regain control. its definitely fun.
again, just be careful
Ooooo, Rainmaker is something I really want to have!
Too late for me! Though I’m thinking of pairing down quite a bit. It’s way too easy to think every new module purchase means you need another module to make it work better…and it can just keep going
ill tell you it was COOL cutting it down. I was thinking modular was done for me. but when I got it back down to 208HP I was focused on the modules I had…its just more fun. [I find]
I had a stupid 832HP
My current rack…the layout is a bit goofy because I couldn’t fit the depth of some modules where I want them to go
Yes I absolutely love the Rainmaker. Can’t wait to run a M:C thru it.
this is prob should be a diff thread…but…
I can most likely get rid or more…and sell some more boxes too.
I gotta get down to a very small setup some how. [to much stuff ]
Whoa!
I’m totally done with buying more modules!!! I capped out with 416hp. Once I get the Models I’ll chill for few years on instrument purchases.
I’m there with you man. [tho im still gonna shed some baggage]
I think what I have on my desk is just right for having a good time. I like the stuff I play with, it fits me, no piece of gear is gonna make me great…so…ya…
I don’t have a M:C yet, but I have a uFreak. It’s definitely got bang for the buck. However, if you’re in it to sequence, I found I wasn’t really into it. It’s easy enough to use, and has plenty of variation, etc. but it’s no Elektron sequencer. It sounds incredibly good, they just gave it more features in a software update. It feels pretty plasticy. More than the Models line (I did have a M:S which I loved.)
I would say that the Model line is more fully featured, and better build quality for the money.
The uFreak has a nice analog filter.
I suppose it just depends on what you want to do with it. They’re fairly different.
Personally and subjectively, I’d go Cycles. I’m thinking about picking up another M:S and having the Model:Duo setup for playing outside the studio setting.
I love my Gotharman Tiny LD because it does a lot of this.
I sold a AR, A4, DT and OT to fund my modular rig. Then bought another OT after I realized I can’t live without it. Now my studio is basically
MD,
MnM,
OT,
DN,
Sidstation,
Deepmind,
MPC Live
Modular
I want the Models exclusively to play out live without the worries of something happening to my babies. M:C impressed me enough to feel confident with that and a M:S.
Can’t live without a Maths and Clouds.
I sold a few pieces to help fund more eurorack. DT , A4mk2, MicroMonsta. Loved the A4 to pieces but never had that much fun with it. Current humble setup is;
OTmk2, M:C, eurorack, an old Korg Trinity Plus and some pedals.
I hear that! Clouds is awesome. More so, with Maths at its side.
Adding: another I don’t think I could part with is the Digitone. It just does so much.
[MD and MM are a given. But they aren’t out all the time]
That’s nice focused setup and really less is more. Basically you have everything covered except a analog monosynth.
Agreed! The Cwejman SM-1 is my main lead type synth and while I love it, it’s stupidly expensive
Been considering a few different synths. Matriarch, Pro3…not sure yet. I play bass for a living, so this is mostly a hobby, but I’d like to do more electronic shows
Okay, lots of flags for off topic stuff.
Let’s just try to get back on topic…
After 20 years of buying and selling gear I finally feel like I’m content with my setup. Modular definitely brought a new level of sound design and beat making for me. I’ve been on the Elektron train since the Sidstation and I‘m completely blown away by their latest addition the M:C. It’s like they whittled down everything to it’s bare essentials and made it affordable, portable and yet great sounding!
