Latest additions to my Eurorack

Cycle Instruments Tetrachords

a 4 track tetrachord sequencer, allowing for easy harmonics, without studying too much music theory

Oxi Meta

a multieffect module, easy to loop in with DJ style knob

Befaco Oneroi

an ambient sound engine, sounds like it was used in every horror movie ever produced

Expert Sleepers Tiny Midi Breakout

just a convenience breakout board for the Disting EX module MIDI functions

Oxi Coral

a 8 channel VCO + Env + FX, good alrounder especially together with the OXI One sequencer

After Later Audio Stairs

a stereo Moog ladder filter, the one I missed so far…..

a few more eurorack additions

Another week of OnCall passed, time to invest the extra money into some more eurorack modules….

Squarp Hermod+

not using the sequencer functionality right now, for me it is more or less a 8/8 channel USB bridge from my Akai Force

Expert Sleepers ES-9

I use this one to connect to VCV Rack and have DC coupled modulation going from my mac to the eurorack

Instruo EAS

yes probably the most expensive logic module, but I had the money…. 😉

Eurorack power up issues

Spent the whole weekend reorganizing my eurorack modules, but I still have powerup issues for some modules, so I decided to buy one more WMD softstart adapter. Hopefully this will help, otherwise I need another expensive power supply.

WMD Softstart

delays the power on current flow for a “low energy module” so that the bigger ones can get the startup juice first 😉

And of course I could not resist to get some extras….

DPW Design SW-1

the module version of my self mode simple A/B switch boxes, much more convenient, I use them a lot

Erica Synths Pico Input

always good to fill some tiny gaps with useful modules…. this one allows for quick audio input from various sources shifted to eurorack levels

Eurorack – Endorphines Cockpit Firmware Update video

Since a lot of people are asking in forums how to update firmware on STM devices like the Endorphines Cockpit, I decided to make a few slides and record this process so people can follow easily.

Just mute if you don’t like the background track.

I was just doing a quick 3min patch with my Ochd and Quasar to see if all went fine.

Thanks to Endorphin.es for continously improving their firmware releases.

Sequencer – Dnipro Metamorph
Voice – Behringer Brains
Modulation – Instruo Ochd
FX – Qu-Bit Nautilus, Neuzeit Instruments Quasar
Mix – Endorphines Cockpit
