Hello! In this article, we want to showcase our variety of modules so you can explore the different set-up combinations and choose the one that best suits your tastes and needs. Below, you'll find a detailed list of each module with its key features.
Modules:
- DOSC (Dual Oscillator): The dual oscillator provides the fundamental signals to generate various atmospheres and sound types. Its multiple functions allow for more frequency variations.
- Strainer (Dual Filter): This module features two filter channels that can be configured to offer up to 4 types of filters (LP, HP, BP, Notch).
- LazyFO (Dual LFO): Two low-frequency oscillators in one that allow you to control other modules through long-period waveforms.
- Capture (ADSR): Capture is a module that allows you to shape your sounds using four parameters (Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release).
- MagControl (VCA): The MagControl is a VCA that envelops your ideas with only the signal you allow to enter the voltage control.
- Repeater (Multiple): The Repeater is a multiple that replicates and focuses the input signal, useful when you need the same signal across different modules.
- MonoPlus (Mixer): A monophonic mixer that sums up to six different signals, making additive synthesis an enriching experience for your sound.
- Shaking (Delay): Shaking is an effect processor for delays and echoes of the input signal, a perfect module to specialize your sounds.
- AltDoor (Clock Divider): Specializes in converting gates to triggers and vice versa, helping to energize the creative part of every process.
- HueScale (Sample and Hold): A module that turns your signals into steps, allowing you to quantize and scale different tones in each affected signal.
- LowBlow (Bass Drums): LowBlow handles a great process to achieve powerful kick sounds that you could imagine.
- Shiny (Noises/Drums): Sounds of hats with more possibilities for sound design, thanks to its various types of noise.
- 8-ZigStep (Sequencer): An 8-step ZigZag sequencer that allows you to adjust its steps and gates for sequencing.
Option 1: Basic Set-Up (6 Modules - one row Case).
Ideal for those just starting with Eurorack, this compact system focuses on simplicity and functionality.
Suggested modules:
- DOSC (Dual Oscillator).
- Strainer (Dual Filter).
- LazyFO (Dual LFO).
- Capture (ADSR).
- MagControl (VCA).
- MonoPlus (Mixer).
With this system, you can experiment with basic subtractive synthesis and begin to understand how the modules interact. You can create sounds such as basslines, melodies, textures, and atmospheres.
Option 2: Intermediate Set-Up (11 Modules - two row Case).
This system is perfect for those with some experience in Eurorack who want to expand their sonic creativity.
Suggested modules:
- 2 DOSC (Dual Oscillator).
- Strainer (Dual Filter).
- LazyFO (Dual LFO)
- 2 Capture (ADSR).
- MagControl (VCA).
- Repeater (Multiple).
- MonoPlus (Mixer).
- 8-ZigStep (Sequencer).
- Shaking (Delay).
Here, you can explore additive synthesis, granular textures, and handle multiple layers of sound simultaneously.
Option 3: Advanced Set-Up (31 Modules - five row Case).
This system is for those looking for a complete modular studio. Each row serves a specialized purpose: synthesis, modulation, effects, sequencing, and audio processing.
Suggested modules:
- 4 DOSC (Dual Oscillator).
- 2 Strainer (Dual Filter).
- 2 LazyFO (Dual LFO).
- 4 Capture (ADSR).
- 2 MagControl (VCA).
- 2 Repeater (Multiple).
- 3 MonoPlus (Mixer).
- 2 8-ZigStep (Sequencer).
- 2 Shaking (Delay).
- 2 AltDoor (Clock Divider).
- 2 LowBlow (Bass Drums).
- 2 Shiny (Noises/Drums).
- 2 HueScale (Sample and Hold).
With this system, you can work on complex projects, from ambient music to industrial techno, all within your rack. You can create melodic and harmonic processes, along with specific modulations.
Final Tips for All Levels:
- Plan your workflow: Think about how your modules will interact and arrange them to make connections easier.
- Invest in quality: A good power supply and reliable cables are essential.
- Leave room to grow: Your first set-up won't be your last—make space for expansion and experimentation.
Building your modular system is a personal adventure. There's no right path, only the one that works for you! If you have questions or need specific recommendations, at ZanySignals, we're happy to help you find the perfect modular system for your sonic experimentation.
