Hi! What's in My Modular Synth Eurorack Case? v2.0 - Eurorack For Beginners

[@thismeanswarbasse]

I'm just glad that you addressed the elephant in the room early instead of waiting until the end. I just found your channel with this video, now subscribed and off to poke around and see what your cases are sounding like, great walkthrough.

[@NoiseToMost]

Haha thanks I knew it needed to be done…thank you so much!🙏

[@F_letc.h]

This was the most modularly nerdy video I’ve ever seen, and I loved every second of it. Cheers!

[@NoiseToMost]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@ScottofOakland]

Hat looks great on you.

[@NoiseToMost]

😄Thank you!

[@phaserspace]

Love Tyso. this setup is sick...keep it up

[@NoiseToMost]

Thanks! Tyso Daiko has been a great addition to the set up!

[@tektronik_disko]

Lovely setup 👍 Very inspiring walkthrough.

[@NoiseToMost]

Thank you so much! 🙏

Aurora is more of a cinematic element… when and modulate your modulators with it…..it’s not a reverb per se…it’s an additive element for voices….

[@NoiseToMost]

The comment somehow was added twice, I replied to the other one, replying here so youtube stops telling me I didn’t reply 😂

[@mitdemall]

Your case looks super interesting, would be cool to hear what what your idea behind it is, like what your goal behind the case is :)

[@NoiseToMost]

Hey thanks for the question! sorry for the delay, the notifications on YT leave a lot to be desired! I actually go into the motivation for my case in the first breakdown, in this video the motivation is largely the same. I like modules that can multitask. almost all of my main modular can do multiple things. For example Beads can be an Oscillator, or Filter 8 can also be an oscillator AND an LFO. I like that I can sit at the case and it can go in literally any direction. I have a few very specific modules like Castor and Pollux, DataBender, and Surface (which has drum sounds, so technically a multitasker too!) but they do specific things and I think they are among the best that do them. I literally haven't made any changes to my case since this video. I love the collection and find I have every option I could ever want... at least for now...lol

[@reecedeyoung6595]

Some nice picks. Don't have the money, but if i did im doing exclusively midi to cv sequencing. A serge style function generators with cv control over attack/decay (aka maths). Lots of doepfer modules for analog sound generation. 3x mia by happy nerding. Disting ex by expert sleeper.

[@NoiseToMost]

That sounds like fun, I have struggled with setting up midi for sequencing, basic note values and triggers have been all I’ve been able to pull together, I also don’t use ableton and send midi out that way, but I understand that it’s very powerful, maybe one of these days! Good luck and thanks for commenting!

[@reecedeyoung6595]

@@NoiseToMost I've got a degree in comp sci and I've been messing around in the daw since highschool so midi is pretty natural for me. Not an expert in the analog domain, all I've got is a behringer neutron. It has an assignable out that I leave mapped to velocity. Works great to scale envelopes. With cv controlled envelopes I could control atk/decay on a per note basis. That would be a huge increase in expression

[@lfarrolas]

I can relate to what you say of Aurora. Also thought of selling. But I started to use it in a gentle (?) way and I started to appreciate it. :)

[@NoiseToMost]

Yeah I have to use it very sparingly, it’s still on the chopping block of modules first to go tho haha

[@lfarrolas]

@@NoiseToMost 😀

[@tris421]

more oscillators, filters and effects basically.

[@NoiseToMost]

And ground control! 😂

[@tris421]

hehe was referring to why you would want a bigger rack. But yes. Love these vids. @@NoiseToMost

[@NoiseToMost]

😆 that’s true, I could get more vco’s 🤔, you’ve convinced me! 2 more mantis cases it is! 😂

[@gautrstafr]

nice rundown of your rig! Quick question about the Mantis, do your sequencing/clocks all sync up via bus? I've read some people saying that in that case things seem to automatically sync up.

[@NoiseToMost]

I am not sure if that only applies to tiptiop modules, I have also heard of some modules being able to communicate thru the power cable / bus board, but not specifically for mantis. I want to say maybe varigate can do that, but I don’t know that for sure. That has not been my experience, I have to clock everything with patch cables.

[@jon_gee]

Excellent breakdown! Your clear and enjoyable flow makes this really interesting. Love the rig, man!! Total electronic wonderland. (I didn’t understand Aurora either) Starlab is the freakin bomb. Now I gotta go rock some videos of this baby in action. 🎛️🎚️🎛️🎚️🎛️🎚️

[@NoiseToMost]

Thanks again man! Do you still have your modular? I haven't been seeing in you vids the last few months?

[@rayderrich]

I am thinking of buying the Mantis case, or should I go two right away because man in theory they fill up fast! Great talk.

[@NoiseToMost]

I started with one and got the 2nd when I realized I could consolidate the space on my table by putting my Moogs in it, but then as I wanted more modules the moogs got kicked out one by one haha. If you know your prob going to fill them both then I would get them together, I had to get the 2nd one used because no one had stock at the time, so that’s another reason to get them together

[@rayderrich]

I think it will also give a proper signal to my wife if I buy two at once, she will see I am not soon done buying modules hahaha.

[@NoiseToMost]

@@rayderrich yeah just ignore the price tag when your planning you case on modular grid 🤣

[@rayderrich]

Easy for me, harder to communicate around the home hahaha

[@apeirogonmusic]

😊

[@NoiseToMost]

thanks for stopping by!

[@apeirogonmusic]

@@NoiseToMost My Pleasure Nice Video

[@smartassrecords]

I love the metropolix and endorphins combo , superb IMO

[@NoiseToMost]

For a hot second I was considering letting Metropolix go after getting ground control, but they are both so unique I couldn’t do it. I’m glad I came to my senses!

[@darkeldarblade916]

You should make room for a complex VCO?

[@NoiseToMost]

Interesting I have Make Noise XPO, While not a dual voice, It's FM and Self patching and abilities get it in the ball park. I also have Castor and Pollux and that is a dual voice, and I can do some FM and wavefolding with Carbon Filter and Filter 8. I def am interested in Buchla style patching, and appreciate when others do it, but my system obv isn't tailored to that. But I feel I can get in the ballpark for that kind of stuff when I get those more experimental feels. :-)

[@cardboardmusic]

I don't think you'll find an Easter Egg mode on Beads, you must be confusing it with Rings. Maybe you mean the unpatched 'ins' make a wavetables?

[@NoiseToMost]

I've heard DivKid refer to it as an easter egg mode, if nothing is in the inputs it has several algorithms from Plaits, You are calling this wave tables. Tomato/Tomato

[@cardboardmusic]

@@NoiseToMost Ok, I see what you mean, I hadn't thought of it that way.

[@moldythoughts4765]

Just bought a game called mr. Sun's hatbox... now I don't know if I should play with my modular or the game... waiting for the nerdseq I ordered... modular is a trap

[@NoiseToMost]

Indeed it is! The game looks fun, you can’t go wrong whichever you choose! Nerdseq seems cool too, enjoy!

[@corticallarvae]

Aurora is more of a cinematic element… when and modulate your modulators with it…..it’s not a reverb per se…it’s an additive element for voices….

[@NoiseToMost]

Yeah I can see that, I have played with modulation a fair amount on it and still haven’t found a groove, but I’ll def keep trying it while it’s still in the case!
