My First System. Your thoughts on the chosen modules?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hey, I've been interested in building my own Eurorack system for over a year now. I've done a lot of research and finally want to pull the trigger.<br/> But before I'm gonna spend my money, I thought I ask some people with experience for advice/confirmation. </p> <p><strong>But first, why do I want a modular system?</strong><br/> 1. As a studio tool, I started making my own music a while ago, and I want to use a modular as a creative tool to come up with interesting stuff.<br/> (I want to make psychedelic guitar-driven music, but also with synths and some weird textures. (I'm really into Animal Collective))<br/> 2. I also got into Techno recently and I want that my system is able to make techno live. </p> <p><strong>Why did I choose the following modules?</strong> ModularGrid Link: <a href="https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2023510">https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2023510</a> </p> <p><strong>Brian:</strong> Pamela's New Workout<br/> It just can do a lot and I'm not a big fan of sequencers they take a lot of space are expensive and kinda complicated. If I later feel the need to have one I rather go with a Beatstep Pro or Keystep Pro. I want to use Pam as a melody generator(Quantizer) and all kinds of CV stuff. </p> <p><strong>Rhythm Generator:</strong> Zularic &amp; Numeric Repetitor<br/> For triggering all kinds of voices and some other stuff like beads freeze input for example.<br/> Numeric mainly for Techno stuff and Zularic for my other Music needs. </p> <p><strong>Drum Voice(s):</strong> Queen of Pentacles<br/> I wanted some TR909 style drums and Julia Bondar uses it so I feel like I can't go wrong with this module should cover all my drum needs. </p> <p><strong>Synth Voices:</strong> MCO, Pluck, Vowel, Ensemble Oscillator<br/> The MCO module is a great allrounder, small not too expensive, and has different waveforms.<br/> Pluck and Vowel are even smaller but are one-trick ponies but I love the sounds I also considered Rings instead of Pluck but I think Pluck will do the job for me, most of the time.<br/> Ensemble is just a really cool voice but I'm kind of intimidated by all the functions. </p> <p>If you have a question about the other modules and why I choose them, feel free to ask. </p> <p><strong>Now my questions:</strong> </p> <p>Does this look like a &quot;balanced&quot; system to you? Like do I have enough VCA's, modulation sources, and utility modules in general? </p> <p>I can &quot;only&quot; spend around 3000€ on modules for now so I thought I get these modules first <a href="https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2024067">https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/2024067</a><br/> Do you think this is a good selection from the rack mentioned above? Would you advise for different ones? Did I didn't consider something? </p> <p>In general, what are your thoughts on the whole system?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/2Tate"> /u/2Tate </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/x7jxem/my_first_system_your_thoughts_on_the_chosen/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/x7jxem/my_first_system_your_thoughts_on_the_chosen/">[comments]</a></span>
