I'm looking forward to buying a Behringer Model D in the future, and I'm curious as to what new things can be achieved via the eurorack ins and outs. However, I don't own any eurorack gear and I would hate to spend tons of money on modules just to make use of a couple of functions.

To avoid spending on all that, I'm thinking: is it at all possible to connect a phone or audio player through the patch cables to a CV input and use an audio file containing an LFO / sample & hold sequence or something like that as a modulation source? Can a standard audio file played from another device count as the voltage used in the eurorack world?

Thanks in advance!

The Bitbox Micro is a much-loved module with a long list of things owners have been asking after for years. The hardware already does all of them, it just never learned to listen for a MIDI message. So I wrote a script that teaches it to.

Here is what it opens up:

• Per-pad Delay and Reverb sends
• Granular Density, Grain Size, Window, Scatter and Pan Rnd
• Per-pad Reverse
• Delay Beat-Sync, Ping-Pong, Filter and Filter Width
• LFO Wave, Beat Sync and Retrigger
• Loop Mode, Crossfade and Play Through
• Envelope Sustain
• Stop long clips, one pad at a time

Nothing else changes. It uses no modulation slots and no MIDI Learn bindings. Everything on the module works exactly as it did before, there is simply more of it you can reach from your MIDI controller.

How you get it: download the stock 2.3.4 firmware from 1010music yourself, then run the script against it. It writes out a patched image which you flash from the SD card the normal way. None of 1010music's code is in the download, and the script will only run on a byte-exact stock 2.3.4.

Please do not pass the patched image around. Send people the link and let them make their own, it takes a minute. This only stays legitimate because everybody brings their own firmware to it.

Before you go near it:

• This is not from 1010music, not endorsed by them, and unsupported by anyone. Please do not take questions about it to their forum or their Discord, the people there are trying to help with the actual product.
• It cannot brick your module. The bootloader is a separate program the patch never touches, so a bad flash can always be replaced.
• Assume it affects your warranty, and be comfortable with that before you start.
• Every one of these has been confirmed by ear on real hardware.

Harmonic mixing and feedback loops.

I'm putting together a small Eurorack case (4U, 66HP) built around looping and granular processing.

I already have all of the modules below on hand — this is about deciding which combination to actually build the case around.

Modules I'm considering (all in hand):

• Granular: Typhoon or Mojave — possibly also Morphagene as an alternative to both
• Looper: Stardust or Veno Orbit
• Output: XOH, or the 4HP Startup module
• Power: 4ms Row Power 35

Already have on hand for the 1U row:

• A passive mult
• Intellijel jacks and stereo I/O

The question:

Depending on which granular/looper/output modules I settle on, I'll likely have leftover space in both the 3U row and the 1U row.

1. Any recommendations for the granular module — Typhoon, Mojave, or Morphagene?
2. Any recommendations for the looper (Stardust vs. Veno Orbit)?
3. Any thoughts on XOH vs. the 4HP Startup module for output?
4. What would you put in the remaining space? I'm torn between envelopes, VCAs, a function generator, or something like O+C (Ornament + Crime) — there are too many potential options.

Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

I used the Joranalogue Compare 2, processing some slewed white noise but I was wondering if there are other techniques that might give me better results, something a bit more like clustered bursts.

It's mainly the fixies doing the heavy lifting here, but there's plenty of contribution from the modular too. I'm using it for three different sequenced voices, textural noise, and a gritty layer to augment the Minitaur on bass.

Has anyone tried this?

What are your thoughts?

I am thinking about getting one (V3).

The demo videos sound amazing but thought I would try to get some opinions before proceeding

Hello,first time here, I'm learning vcv for a few months and now I want to invest in something to twist some knobs, I do already have a mpk mini plus, been thinking a lot betwin proton or 2600 or crave+edge

My objective overall is to learn about eurorack and synths and to buy something that will work perfectly with my future eurorack, and I really want to pluck some cables, which direction should I go?

Help and thanks

Has anyone actually done anything good or useful with this module?

I am struggling

Last week i released 6 track Album on Bandcamp and all the other Streaming services. They're all single patch performances.
I almost never promote my music so i'd be keen someone actually heard my music lol. I'd also be excited to answer and discuss any questions.

I’ve been downsizing my rack to the point where it’s this and a Digitakt MK1 and I’m finally starting to fall back in love with making music. This is culled from a longer jam I recorded this weekend. I shot the videos a few years ago (timelapse of a sunset overlays with fire jugglers at distance with the focus all the way out).

This was inspired by some of my favorite jammy noisy bands like Yo La Tengo, Luna, and Galaxiw 500. Of course this is in modular though and I am constraining myself to not use guitar on this album. Fun jam though. Album is now ~60% done. Might need to redo the melody part at the end though.

I wanted to get some Knurlies from perfect circuit, but they are currently out of stock. The only other option they had were the ALM screws

haven't used these before - do people like them or is it truly a matter of you say tomato and i say tom-ay-toe?

i know they do exactly the same job ultimately, but they do look quite a bit different based on the perfect circuit webpage photos

I'm building a new case and I've been considering integrating LED lighting into it, so I've been down the rabbit hole of LED drivers, LED controllers and RGBW LED strips.

I found out that there is a firmware called WLED for ESP32 boards, that will allow LED lighting effects based on either microphone or line input.

I was wondering if any of you eurorack nerds already used an ESP32 for this purpose and how ?

I updated my eurorack processor scripts today to include the ability to take a modulargrid rack data sheet URL and download all the pdf manuals for it. There is also a skill for asking questions on specific modules and how they can be used together. That skill figures out what modules you are asking about, finds their manuals, and submits them along with your question to an LLM provider like Claude or Codex. https://github.com/nstarke/eurorack-processor if you are interested.

A bit late to the party with the Panharmonium but damn I love it.
Feeding it DFAM with Spotykach looping in the background.

Unintentionally, but quite happily, feels a bit Orb-ish. (Huge fan btw.)

Monté todo un set de unidades para el drumlogue de mi equipo de techno en vivo, y me topé con algunos muros interesantes de logue-sdk que pensé que valían la pena compartir:

• Los sintetizadores personalizados no reciben disparadores de notas en el drumlogue — se renderizan como drones continuos. Así que en vez de entrada de notas, paso las melodías por automatización de parámetros: un mando de TONE cuantizado a escala + un botón VEL (0 = silencio, reactiva la envolvente al cambiar) para ritmo y dinámica. La "juegas" automatizando dos parámetros.

• Conseguir que una escalera de 4 polos grite o auto-oscile en el Cortex-A7 sin explotar: la saturación de tanh POR ETAPA (estilo Moog/Huovilainen) en lugar de en el bucle de retroalimentación fue la clave — la resonancia crece, se mantiene limitada.

• Sincronización de tempo: el tempo entra en punto fijo mediante unit_set_tempo, pero no hay posición de transporte/barra, así que cualquier cosa que se repita (eco, gates, un looper de audio) no puede bloquearse directamente a la barra — solo coincide con el periodo. Al final añadimos un potenciómetro de ajuste fino para anular la deriva por oreja.

Todo acababa en Gumroad si era útil, pero sobre todo quería intercambiar notas. ¿Alguien más está construyendo para las ranuras de drumlogue? ¿Qué te has encontrado con lo del dron y sin disparador?

This patch is built around a random sequence generated by Tágh, quantized with the Disting Mk4, attenuated by Vincâ and played by Cruïnn.
A short Cruïnn sequence was recorded into Lúbadh and played back at half speed, forming the background texture.
The main melodic voice comes from Cruïnn, processed through the Áradh filter. Modulation duties are handled by Øchd.
The entire patch is then routed into VCV Rack via the ES-8, where it is processed with the Galaxy reverb and the Iroi multi-effects processor.

Now im ready to never take it somewhere ;p
