Oh and also this stuff is really legit too. Not eurorack but very cool and way more cost effective. Pretty sure the eurorack designers are going to be porting their stuff to this format too as it grows in popularity. Awesome way to get your feet wet at a fraction of the cost…

“Module compatible with your case’s power supply”
thats easy i had the same thought 9 years ago…
Buy a Doepfer case, everything works in them.
Ive watched people for years talking about compatibility issues on forums, but i hardly took any notice because I’ve never had a problem with the masses of modules i own because i got the foundations right from day 1, a Doepfer case.
i currently own 4 Doepfer cases, 2 x 9U, 1 Monster case, 1 Monster Base and an 6U Ikea Rast i made myself which of course i fitted a Doepfer power supply.

I know I’ve posted this many times but i love how random it was, i unboxed Qu-bit Chord hooked it up to a few modules and just left it generate on it own, i never touched the patch for days and it just spat out sweet music.
Patch info:
Qu-bit Chord sequenced by 4 notes from Arturia Beatstep Pro & modulated by Xaoc Batumi, SSF Ultra Analog doing random things to Batumi’s Reset. MI Branches making a coin toss between a Modulated MI braids snare & ALM Dinkys taiko Bass drum triggered by ALM Pamelas workout and Tsyklon labs chaos divider, then put through Alright devices Chronoblob. Eventide space on the end of the chain “shimmer” preset.

I’ve got a birthday this week and one of my buddies has forewarned me he purchased me a eurorack module, a tip-top “one”.
He saw the datach’i and Chris Carter videos demoing it and was like… that is very chase. I’m appreciative and also somewhat annoyed. 
I’ve been fighting this for years, but… here we go.
I’m certain there is a nifty case in my future. I’m going to need to let go of some rack gear.
This is exactly why modular is such a black hole and pain in the wallet/ass - you can’t just get one thing in most cases, you need power and other modules to make it truly useful (or synths that can provide things like CV, in/out and ADSR). Welcome to the grind.
Nobody has just one module, lol.
I’m going to be blowing my synth money on home theater hardware and videogames over the next few months. Does that count?

Well, here are some videos I made with the 0-coast

I think this patch and the one I call Math Lab are the more interesting:
Somehow I never managed to integrate it with my workflow, it was a beautiful looking desktop unit which would get lots of love, but as an individual item. I think today I would appreciate it more.

No, sold it a while ago, I don’t like keeping gear that I can’t make work in my setup.
The interface is difficult to understand at the beginning, but it will click my suggestion would be to get some stack cables, they really open up patching and add so many great options.

Motivation for me to repair my Novation BassStation (orig) to sell it and a few bits of rack gear that I’m not using.
The module in question is a sample player that receives CV for sample selection, tuning and sample playback length. I’ve got my eye on a buffer repeater and a trigger able random modulator. I’m shooting for a drum glitch box, eventually I’d like to have 4 channels of sampler, and a FM based kick and snare modules. I’ll likely go boutique for the “meat and potatoes” and Behringer for the utility stuff (VCA’s mixers, mults etc)
Fortunately I’m still really only interested in sequencing it w Ableton/Max4Live so I won’t need to go down the multi channel sequencer route, that’ll keep costs down.

Now that you mention M4L I keep thinking about trying to learn it to do something wacky, I like programming with visual languages and I like making music, worse case scenario I merge my main hobbies into a monster mega hobby that consumes all my free time…

I keep finding that with Max4Live i dont have to build anything. Which is good because im fucking daft w that type of thing and it would take me eons. To the point that I’d forget my original idea because it took so long.
Whenever I consider a function I’d like to employ I head on over to maxforlive.com and do a search. 99% of the time I find a free or cheap solution. Mainly what I am after is midi data probability type devices or CC randimizers that allow me to take a say… dense percussion sequence and thin it out, I’ll resample the midi sequences and arrange with the new midi files.
Its actually sort of what I am after with this modular concept.
a happy accidents machine.
@RFJ and suggestions on happy accidents modular/eurorack for Chase?
https://www.twohp.com/modules/tm
definitely on the short list. and economical on case space.
Hey Chase i love it when somebody has a modular plan as I’ve never seen anybody finish a plan they always go off on a tangent and end up with something totally different 
The first ever module in my plan was a trigger riot, 100 plus modules later and i still haven’t got one

As for Happy accidents its probably not as much the modules as the way you patch it.
However id avoid buying modules to build a traditional subtractive voice, like whats the point in that we already have that in our other hardware synths.
Lots of clock dividers, modulators, random modules and let the happy accidents begin.

ive got a fuck ton of subtractive voices already!
the plan is a sample playback chaos machine.
Ope! got a dubby house tune in the works on the Samples. What a great little sketch pad. (yes yes yes, fuck you I have no new gear to talk about).
