How are the behringer racks and power supplies? I’ve been tempted, but I don’t want to fry all my modules on a bad power supply or introduce noise etc.
@TomChurchill2 жыл бұрын
I’ve got three of them in total now and have never had an issue, touch wood. Nothing fried and no noise issues. Build quality is very good. The racks do have sliding nuts rather than threaded inserts, but it’s hard to complain about much else given the price…

I have a couple takaabs: a LPG wich im really happy with (im even thinking on a second one) and an attenuattor, wich have some weak knobs... it was so cheap tho, so i cannot complain. I also have a quantizer from Doepfer. As im making bigger my modular set up, I have not so much uses to it. Anyways I like it, even I find it like medium quality (I dont like so much the input jacks) To the moment Im seriously thinking for the crossfader [1f] and Ochd from Instruo (and DivKid) as I have a few this few modules of low quality and I want to keep it mostly with good components Anyways Its a superb video and It teachs a lot about how modular works, also really thinking on get them, as they seem to be so useful!

@@TomChurchill For the record - I ordered an RLFO via eBay but they had no stock in the UK so had to send it from Thailand. Took 2.5 weeks (including a postal strike and a public holiday), so not very fast but I'm very happy with the module and use it pretty much every day.

I’m a big fan of Doepfer modules and have ten or so- including the a160-2 and a160-5, both of which I highly recommend. However, I’ve never taken a punt on either Takaab or Ladik gear, despite the latter doing what appear be some damn’ fine modules. Have you gained any negative impressions of either, or are they simply excellent value modules?
@TomChurchill2 жыл бұрын
Only positive impressions from me so far! The Ladik stuff has very similar build quality and aesthetic to Doepfer - quite 'functional' and basic but solid. The Takaab has a plastic/PCB front panel rather than metal so feels slightly cheaper, but build quality is great. I think they're both simply great value brands with lots of useful tools...

I've heard some audio demos of the Takaab dual LPG and it sounds excellent.

I've got the Ladik stereo mixer (the big one with sliders) and it's just fine. The rubbery tips on the sliders aren't super well attached, but the ergonomics overall are excellent.

How do you find your little red oscilloscope? Torn between a zero scope vs just picking the red one up for some basic audio information. Does it cause an any noise in your system, any regrets? Thanks!
@TomChurchill8 ай бұрын
No noise for me, and no regrets... if you just want to see a basic representation of one audio signal at a time and don't mind it living outside the rack, then for ~£30 it's pretty great value I think!

Cheers Martin! Yeah, I'm seriously considering pre-ordering the 245t sequencer but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I didn't bother with the oscillator as I have the Dannysound Cali Osc which is pretty similar. The quad function generator is also quite tempting though. So many modules, so little time/space/spare cash! :)

If you're interested in West Coast stuff then maybe consider an LPG and a function generator? Make Noise Optomix and Maths would probably complement the Matriarch quite well. Or maybe some of the Tiptop Buchla modules. For interesting modulation I love the New Systems Instruments Inertia too...
