scoop'n'scatter man Sorry, but there's a BitRazER and a delay called Demora. There should be a fourth one, but I don't have the link handy.

The store laid a trap for me... I came in to pick up the Metropolis that I had on order for months and the guy behind the counter was like "hey, we had a customer decide modular wasn't his thing, so he returned all his stuff and I know you were looking at the Mutable Elements, we've got one on discount"... ...yeah, the only good news is my 15U is close to full, and I'm too lazy to build another anytime soon.

What the gently caress dude? Chop chop. Also those Roland modules are such a disappointment.  Especially the delay since there is still no real competitor for the $600 and mostly unavailable Modcan one.

Looking at the new roland modular and finally listening to some of the system 1 demos I could see myself actually getting this and a 90hp pittsburgh case to fill with "fun" things to modulate the hell out of it. Still waiting on hearing more with the JD-Xa though since it's really come down between that and the Pro 2 since the new modulus 001 that was also unveiled only has a 2 track sequencer which is super lame.

synthgoons, help my throw all of my money down a hole!   i have about 44HP of space left in my planned setup. what would you put in there? i was leaning toward a makenoise DPO but that thing is huge and doesn't leave a lot of space. i'm thinking at least one VCF and at least one envelope generator. are there any obvious deficiencies that i should be thinking about?

What the gently caress dude? Chop chop. It's a bitch to find, but here's a delay I've heard awesome things about. MSRP $299, cool patching options. It's a bit to wrap your head around from what I've been told but sputnik is making some cool stuff. http://sputnik-modular.com/four-tap-delay-dual-crossfader/ As for Roland, I can see a sort of use for the System 1M to be honest. Besides plugout, the base sound is kinda generic, but the specs say they kept the four-voice polyphony. While the number of patch input points is kinda disappointing I could see the use case where you want chords synced to and controlled by the modular, since that sort of sound is something you really can't do for a reasonable price. It's just too bad they don't have more patch points for sound control in-module, but I could see that being vaguely tempting to look at in the longer run, especially with different plugout sounds.

currently thinking about this setup to fill out that gap. only thing i'm not 100% on are the additional oscillators. might drop the Braids and add more mixer/modulator type modules if it's not clear i have literally no idea what i'm doing

If you're sticking to 6U, you might want to check out the RYO triple VCA, it's just 4hp. You'd probably want something different for audio but it's perfect for CV.

You'd be surprised how often you don't need an attenuator, either because you're plugging it into something else that has one, or you're plugging it into something where you want it running full scale anyway. For example, you have an Outs in that rack, so you might go oscillator->filter->vca->outs, and the outs has attenuators on it for controlling the level of the output, so you don't need to attenuate the CV also. I personally prefer VCAs that have a CV attenuator and a bias knob, which can work together to set the level and offset of the CV. I really like the MMVCA, which works not only as 2 separate VCAs but also can be configured as a crossfader, panner, 2 channel manual or VC mixer, and also it has a little saturation circuit built in, and most importantly of course it has good blinkenlights. On the downside, it is larger and more expensive than most. But, there is definitely something to be said for a setup like that triple VCA and a TriAtt.

It looks like the RYO may not be easily acquired in the states, so i'll probably go with either the intellijel dual vca or the synthrotek, which looks similar to the RYO but only has two vcas. thanks for the input everyone.

Echoing the love for VCAs. I also think the Braids would provide more variety than the STO in the current setup, although it's probably just a matter of time before you buy them both. I believe that the Expert Sleepers Disting is generally considered a must-have module these days, at least for smaller systems that might need a decent amount of flexibility. In particular you might be interested in its ability to quantize CV (if you're into making "music") and its S&H (if you're into making weird sounds). It should open a lot of doors in general and help you figure out what types of more dedicated modules you'll need when you inevitably expand to 15U. Since there are no multiples in the case, you should make sure to grab a few stackable cables and/or those external Intellijel hubs.

Damnit, the mod wheel on my Ultranova isn't sending MIDI at all... I couldn't even get the thing open the last time something was dodgy. Is it something I could fix easily or should I get it fixed? How much would it run?

Adding my love for VCAs that work as attenuators; I was planning for a 6U and the guy at the shop recommended the Linix; I thought it was overkill and one to grow on but even with six VCAs I would run out. Bonus use case: using half your VCA outs for one output, half for the other, and with an inverter you can make some cool stereo panning effects by doubling up a signal on both sides and using an LFO to "pan" the signal between the two sides. And yeah, the disting is the swiss army chainsaw of modular right now, but it's nigh-impossible to find. Put the money down with a reputable dealer and it'll make sure you get a reasonable spot in the line to get one.

So speaking of modular  what are peoples opinions on the System 1m as a base system and pairing it with 1-2 Pittsburgh cell 90's that only have the "fun" modulation stuff since the 1m would cover all the basics?

A Winner is Jew posted:So speaking of modular I can't say it's a bad start to pair with a Cell 90 - it means you get MIDI in and even polyphony right out of the box. While the patch points might be a bit less than what you'd get with a synthesizer box module it offers a fair bit. It all depends on what you want from your Move 104; are you going to be processing the audio from the oscillators and feeding it back to the filter, or will your Move 208 be more for controlling the sound of the 1M? Since you're planning to get a 12U like I currently have, and I'm looking to maybe get one eventually, I think it's a pretty good one to grow on, and the onboard effects on the 1M will make your 18U system really shine...

Sorry, I meant getting Cell 90 case(s) and not the Cell 90 systems and filling them with modules since the System 1m would start me out with 2 OCS, Midi-CV, Effects, and an LFO and ENV, so the actual modular system would mostly be for controlling the sound of the System 1m. Start small with a Maths (or Tides), Optomix, and maybe a sequencer for more CV triggering. e: Possibly adding a proper filter to the mix as well but it would be down the line, but mostly the the System 1m would act as an Atlantis module of sorts with midi-cv and effects already in it.
