Building a two voices rack
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey everybody!</p> <p>So this is my current setup:</p> <p><a href="https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1006326">https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/1006326</a></p> <p>I use this with my Octatrack and already know i will have to replace the A-190-4 with a Mutant Brain in order to be able to sequence 2 voices.</p> <p>I want to build a 2 oscillators synth that I could use as a single voice powerful sound design tool, or as two simpler voices sequenced and mixed live with the Octatrack. The music I aspire to make at the moment is hypnotic sparse techno similar to Prince of Denmark, Daniel Avery (I think playing the Octa as a dub mixer with a delay pedal on the cue and some tasty drum loops and improv on the modular would be an interesting idea)</p> <p>So I have a few questions for you:</p> <ul> <li>What would your second oscillator be? I'm torn between the STO, Dixie 2+, Ts-L and Godspeed+</li> <li>Should I change my filter for a dual LPG? Have both? Buy another one?</li> <li>Regarding sequencing, I'm hesitating between relying on the Octatrack only (which already has some pretty powerful options) and dedicating a few hp for that in my system. Should I do that or should I dedicate my system to sound generation?</li> <li>Also, if I go the modular sequencing route, I'm torn between getting a Marbles or getting a few simpler module (like the 2HP turing, tune, arp, euclid, the Tirana and the Zularic Repetitor for example). The Marbles seems like a cheaper option and a really powerful generator, but I fear being limited to a certain type of melodies, whereas the second option looks like a more expensive but also more expressive one since all sections of the sequencing (triggers, CV, etc) are separated from each other and I can plug then as I like. Which option seems the more interesting to you? Should i consider something other than Marbles? (I looked at the Varigate 4+ and i believe everything it does is covered by the Octatrack)</li> <li>Finally, is there anything lacking in my setup? (apart from Maths, I see you coming
) Should i change anything?</li> </ul> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Martouel"> /u/Martouel </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/d8820l/building_a_two_voices_rack/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/d8820l/building_a_two_voices_rack/">[comments]</a></span>
